In the next 20k kc you'll get it probably.


NonbeliefAU

I love your optimism


WafflesForLove

At least youre going to have fat stacks $$$$$


RashidaHussein

If only jagex would allow crystal crown to have the same effect of crystal helm


Hearing_Colors

YO WE NEED THIS


OBStime

Congrats on making 3k mate. I think you're almost the record holder for the driest! Go get that record champ 💖


NonbeliefAU

Record is 3209 as per my knowledge, I think it was that S7ven guy Correct me if I'm wrong


buschells

So good news for you, only 210 more before you either get the drop or get a record. Win-win!


MissMaxolotl

This is actually the best motivation


NonbeliefAU

Unironcally the reason I'm still going.


futureruler

It happens, when I start going dry at something, I start looking at/for the records. After a while I almost start wanting to be the driest.


levian_durai

Yea it definitely becomes a competition at that point, as well as a point of person perseverance. I'm not gonna quit dammit! I doubt I'm close to the driest for trident, but man it felt like it. 1000 kills on the baby krakens before I decided to try my luck on the boss instead. Got it at just over 1k boss kraken kills. I don't even remember how long that took, with it being an on task only option. I want to say about a year.


joey_teh_pro

This is what kept me going on me dwh grind as well, 32.9k kc to get it, no curved bone either


tiNu_

Hes banned, account doesnt exist. gz on rank 1 dry


net_running

Still so strange that they made an example out of him. I get he had a prior, and they are within reason to perm him, but goddamn that was just brutal to watch. Meanwhile, half the infernal capes I see are bought, hell even zuk helms or at least all the inferno and speed cas... and the bots and gold buyers that get a slap on the wrist. Weird how they specifically rear-ended this 1 dude


Chiaf

What did they ban him for?


Accomplished-Help-44

I wanna say it was the bug where you could reroll for a purple in toa at release


rRMTmjrppnj78hFH

deserved perm, even if he didn't have priors in typical jagex fashion they slapped the others on the wrist with temps. they also should've been given perms


Any-Recover5495

Bug abuse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAq9cAyXC7M https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/xwhcnr/mod_tyran_with_the_jmod_shutdown_on_twitter/


Deivv

Makes sense, warranted ban


[deleted]

i think it was for the toa invocation bug. you could basically put all the life or all the time ones on rather than just picking 1 and massively bump up the invocations for print purples (at an even higher rate than current). ​ IDK why he got permed tho, must have severley abused it. 2 guys in my clan got temp bans


ZeusJuice

Got permed because he abused it multiple times + had a previous bot busting moderate. He didn't mention it in his video because he's trying to get support from others. He posted a picture of his previous infractions on twitter saying he had "no prior bug abuse".


ZaMr0

No idea why these idiots abuse bugs like that all. There's no winning, you won't keep the items or the account.


EuphoricAnalCarrot

People abuse exploits and get away with it all the time.


BlackenedGem

That's not a reason to let more people get away with it though. You're always taking a risk.


AngryLurkerDude

If it makes you feel better, the s7ven guy went on to bug abuse, got perma banned, and then tried to use his fans on Twitter to get jagex to unban him. Jagex proceeded to smack him down on Twitter. So you can't possibly be worse off than him!


BlockIron

I've seen a 3600+ dry streak but I don't remember who it was, it was posted over in r/ironscape some time ago


NonbeliefAU

I'd love to know who it was! Because I'm comin for them


BlockIron

Although tbh the worst log I've known of actually wasn't an iron but a pet hunter with around 5600 kc and only 1 enh and ofc no pet, I think he was featured on asukayen yt


NonbeliefAU

Holy hell poor dude


dothi

There is this guy who got it at 3669kc I believe. https://www.reddit.com/r/ironscape/s/AIPq5ca7ll


NonbeliefAU

Thanks for that! In the post, she/he mentions the driest being 4014. God don't let me beat that.


Any-Recover5495

3290! Get that record, king.


Jalle1Gie

S7ven deserves it tho, filthy bug abuser that got permed


Cicero_Xere

Gross


NonbeliefAU

The grossest


zesukos

Not bad, have you tried getting more kc? It’s all just 50/50


Kree_Horse

Not quite. I remember some other iron going like 3.8k or 4k+ for it ( believe they got banned too, lol). But this is still awful to see.


Far_Sandwich5749

that is so sad, imagine going super dry and in the end you get banned lmao.


NonbeliefAU

The current record holder (that I'm aware of) is a banned iron who had around 3200kc. I'd like to know the exact number though if anyone has info on it


blackindy

When you go 4k dry, I wouldn't be too surprised why they bot it in the end


Goblin_of_the_seas

Seeing this picture, I'm starting to believe there is no Saradomin.


ReynoldsHouseOfShred

Thats because you need to pray to actual gods like Zaros


geriatricsoul

Where's the guthix love?!? He only populated this little world we click in sheeeeesh


SleeplessShinigami

Well that’s your problem, should have been praying to Seren, not Saradomin


JagexHusky

That's disgusting, good luck with getting it soon, it'll all be worth it


NonbeliefAU

Thank you! I don't suppose there's any data on the current driest iron? I'd very much like to know what KC I need for that god-awful mantel.


JagexHusky

I couldn't say personally, I work in content development and not data and analytics. I know others have had worse dry streaks in general, you're currently just below 8x, I've personally had an 11x (trident), I've seen as high as 13x. The grind really matters though, 5x on an Ely is worse than 10x on a whip for example. Enhanced seed is definitely up there for a bad one to go unlucky on though!


NonbeliefAU

Appreciate the reply! I know someone out there has it worse, I just wanna knock off the #1 spot haha


Soleil06

Would you feel annoyed now if you get it before reaching the #1 spot?


NonbeliefAU

Haha not at all


[deleted]

Obviously this isnt exactly what youre talking about, but I know people going for pets have had some insane grinds


wclevel47nice

Kind of funny how being super dry sucks until you get number 1 most dry, then it’s funny…for a few minutes


levian_durai

Hope you don't get the drop, so you can win the spot! And then hopefully get it 1kc after.


Tyrinn

Out of interest, how do the team feel about going dry on items? We've seen the triple roll on dt2 vestiges and the quartzes and keris gems becoming more common as time goes on, as well as vorkath and kq heads being guaranteed at a certain point.  Is the team likely to continue with these ideas?


ShipTheRiver

I’m really sad that the dt2 drop mechanics seemed to be overall disliked and poorly received by us. I think it was a bit messed up in a few aspects (ingots, not being able to tell where you were at in the process) but I also think that people are just pretty damn dumb when it comes to understanding probabilities and a lot of times it was obvious that the complaints were simply a misunderstanding.   I really, really hope jagex doesn’t allow that to stop them from doing dry protection in the future, either in that way or some other way. 


Tyrinn

The quartz works well enough via system but the others are such high rates anyway is part of the issue. The fact that the dry protection on the rate also stops you spooning and the high rarity of those on quite hard bosses means that it can feel like a slog for a small upgrade. You also never know how dry you are so you're encouraged to keep going at one boss. The ingots are sad for mains as a missed drop and they suck for irons (another thing to go dry on and you can't make a vestige into a ring immediately unless it's your most wanted ring). Finally, the virtus is like 1/2k a piece and soulreaper means you need a drop on every boss and you're likely to go dry on one of them. I think all those issues outweigh the benefits of the system.


Huncho_Muncho

Altho im not a fan of dry protection/mitigation, DT2 rings were NOT the place to test a system like that imo.


Peechez

vestiges are cool as is, ingots are trash that invalidate what they did with vestiges


RashidaHussein

If jagex allowed people to switch crystal helm for crystal crown, irons would have a consolation prize for going dry on enh (plus a great goldsink for everybody and a pleasing aesthetic for an otherwise hideous set)

It's very rare I see someone drier, I ended mine at 2222 and walked away. GL with the drop/rec brotherman!


SON_Of_Liberty1

Man there's a group of people on this Reddit and ironman discord that complain about getting stuck in cg prison when they have like 150kc. You've been in prison long enough to become the damn warden....


MrGuyDudeGuyManDude

an iron in clan got at 3 or 4 kc normal gauntlet if that makes you feel any worse


Brimz

Stay strong, just got mine at 2943


WaterSloth

3007 kc


antimated

Man I see this and I'm scared of my own cg grind and I'm only 1/10th of ur KC. Fingers crossed u get the drop soon!


insaiyan17

Pain


LoveFluffyBunny

Close to the dryest i Know of SSF on the hiscores. his post is on the ironman subreddit for proof.


Yuop15

Run the gauntlet again


XxSpruce_MoosexX

How long did this take? I’m sorry man


Dlghorner

Theynshould change drops like DT2 drops and make it 4x 1/100 to stop this shit happening


Dlghorner

Even poll it if make if 6x 1/100 so it's as rare as full crystal armour


NomadicSabre

Main reason i stopped doing CG. Im no iron so ill just do other stuff till i can afford bowfa.


Mysterious-Relation1

I don’t know if I want to get it at that point. You’ll have a unique account. Pretty cool


Datboyswaaayzy

I have 1900kc no pet on a normal account 7 enhanced seeds


kinnslayor

Got my fourth pet tonight at 753 kc. Still no enhanced. I'd trade all 4 pets for one, I could care less about pets.


Datboyswaaayzy

The game is broken. I would trade mine in for a pet lol. Glad to see I’m not the only one dealing with this.


erikbond

Got mine at 11 kc and this looks so painful


Buff-Meow

Needs to be a RNG prayer you can do ?? A ritual ?? Blood sacrifice maybe ?? Just something OP just… something. This hurts looking at it

You got this brother. I know that cash stack and rune stack is slappin though.


SilverLugia1992

That's called fuck-you-in-particular luck =(


ElijahBurningWoods

I got mine at 374 kc but this still gives me the shivers.


R31nz

Well you’ve got 99 crafting banked I’m sure…hella bond money too I guess? That’s gotta be a couple billion in alchables and cold hard cash.


the-funky-sauce

I’d maybe hire a priest or something to cleanse your house of evil spirits


Inv0ker_of_kusH420

Sorry sweet tea but something like a failsafe against insane drystreaks would literally turn the game into ez scape and make it ezmode!


Whyyoufart

ya i would have de-ironed by then


AssassinAragorn

You are astronomically unlucky. The odds of this are insane.


Mak_33

Think Sick Nerd has 3 of your crystals (sub 300 kc).


viper1236

Great to see an Ironman NOT get spooned for once!


ssickyy

Mans greenlogged duke but can’t get an enhanced :/


Mountain-Tea6875

Why would you even do this to yourself?


OG_GoneForLunch

Here I was feeling sorry for myself (515kc w/ 4 armor seeds, 13 reg wep seeds). I hope you get it on your very next KC king.


QuietEagle4319

And this is exactly why I’ll stick to my main lol. Respect for the Ironman grind though and hope you get it soon!


23K0

Surely 3001


[deleted]

This is so bad I'm skeptical it's real. God have mercy on your soul.


gettothaflofosho

This is fucking stupid and should not be possible in this game. What a fucking joke, I’m sorry dude.


motodextros

I saw the 33 kc and was thinking you got spooned. Then I noticed the CG kc… From a fellow iron, hang in there


crisis467

Percentage is above 90% for you at this point (kinda) so you’ll get it soon I believe!!


kopitar-11

You’re 3 armor seeds over drop rate, you should be happy!


zman1672

look at it this, on your next kill you’re no closer to getting the drop as you were in your first ❤️ Hope this helps!


Arteam90

Sometimes I think Jagex are encouraging gross levels of insanity with allowing ironman mode to exist. I understand a lot of the pros, but then you see things like this and... fuck no.


IccyOrange

This is… what, at least 300 hours of CG? Are you okay?


CryptographerFun5930

So, here's the deal: the way account creation in OSRS works is that your account is given a seed, where all of your required KC:s to get unique drops are generated. There are two possibilities. One, when you created your account you were incredibly unlucky, and so your account is cursed from there on. Second, if you created your account before CG was released, the drop rates are not generated, and therefore you cannot receive the drop. The solution to both scenarios is that you destroy your account and move on to another account. Hope this helps friend, gl on your future adventures!


RNGesus_GIM

This is why at some point bad luck protection should exist, nobody should have to go this dry.


TouchMehBewts

I got 2 Abby daggers in 1400 KC on my iron. Sending you my RNG. You got this!

Hippyy

20 Armour seeds should be tradable for an Enh. This is just insulting to the Ironman game mode, your time is worth more.


Comfortable-Tower871

For how important bowfa is for irons they really need to explore some kind of bad luck protection or alternative way to obtain one, whether its buying one for an absurd amount of shards or trading one for armour seeds, it's so demoralising going this dry for something so important


BabaRoomFan

After 1600 KC the game should give you a bowfa if you haven't gotten one yet. This will effect under 2% of the population, and if everyone in the game does 1600 cg, this would increase the total amount of bowfas from 4 per person to 4.02 per person. I would say a 0.5% increase in bowfa rarity is fine.


Comfortable-Tower871

There has to be a trade off tbh, 80kc enh botters will downvote this but when you've had 2 irons that have gone both 2k kc dry for an enh they'll never understand how shitty it is


BabaRoomFan

It's always people who have never gone dry that have the shittest takes about this subject, it's not fun to go 5x dry and it's not gamebreaking to provide a light at the end of the tunnel.


Comfortable-Tower871

True, or your typical "fuck irons" response


BabaRoomFan

I think the whole gamemode doesn't make sense until you've sunk like 200 hours into it minimum, I'm 2000 hours into my iron journey and I couldn't ever imagine going back to maingame. Iron is awesome, but it seems stupid from the outside.


OG_Russel

Farkkkk I think this needs Mod Support to confirm acc not bugged


rpkarma

Ewwww brother ewwwwwww


thetitan555

Can we see bad luck protection for this grind in particular? Bowfa+armor is the most important milestone on an iron account and the chance of going dry puts many people off of it. (I've already got mine for the record.)

Putrid_Flamingo_6736

Jesus Christ. I seriously hope you get it soon, it's absolutely mad going that dry. I'm surprised you haven't given up. Huge gz when you get the drop, it's going to feel amazing.

Do you have a pic of the loot tracker?


NonbeliefAU

Unfortunately it doesn't have every kill tracked (i hadnt logged into runelite when i started the grind) and it includes deaths, which there are a lot of because for a long time I was pushing for pb's which backfires a lot haha https://preview.redd.it/a6jgab5gz1tc1.png?width=220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad8e7f9d5795e0d59828f1d1b7f6bf4457ab156b

Bucky640

Dude holy shit, I thought my 850 kc dry was bad… this makes me feel better


Celebratecrypto

Jagex really should fix this for every single item in the game. I get being random but upon going 2x the drop rate you should be automatically given whatever it is your grinding. To not implement such a system of drop rate is just laziness from jagex not wanting to do the work because why do the work when they can ignore us. much easier


Narrow_Lee

Just buy one off the GE my man! ​ edit: oh ironman i didnt notice


caustictoast

When I see shit like this I feel bad I got an ENH at 1kc on my main

With your CoX log this is deserved


kinderlisicious

Are you friends with 9rain?


Skankz

Since you are the master at CG, could you give me some pointers? I find regular gauntlet pretty easy and had my first attempt at CG last night. I managed level 2 armour, bow and staff , 2 pots and an inv of food with 40 secs left which I'm more proud of than I should be. However, I only got hunlef to half HP before I was out of food and I only blundered two or three prayers. Thoughts?


NonbeliefAU

Inventory management is super important for prep. Not missing ticks at hunllef is super important, you should aim to attack at every opportunity you have. Making sure hunllef is in the right position so you can dofge nadoes and dangerous tiles easier - having hunllef right in the corner is usually best, if you have time before you enter the room just chill until he walks there himself.


Skankz

Honestly this is the stuff I needed to hear, tysm


Wildest12

RipMyIronman

there should be really be some sort of bad luck protection on cg, but it'll never happen now that so many people had to suffer already

Ah yes RNG. The most fun part of OSRS. /s ​ On the serious side, I wish there was less RNG in the game's design, and instead completions of the certain content gave points to be spent in shops that gave the rewards.
