๐ก๏ธ๐ฎ A Friendly Reminder to the OldSchool RuneScape Community ๐ฎ๐ก๏ธ It's a tough job being a (game) developer, and our friends over at Jagex are feeling the pressure. The recent re-release of the iconic "While Guthix Sleeps" quest chain has stirred up quite the fuss over the Tormented Demon loot tables. While it's understandable that the drop rates and changes can be frustrating, but let's still remember the human behind the screens. ๐งโ๐ป๐ Jagex has explained that the rebalanced loot tables are designed to keep the game healthy and engaging. They acknowledged the need for adjustments, promising they're on it: "Please stop targeting or singling out individual developers while providing your feedback. In many cases, the developers being targeted aren't heavily involved with the content that you're criticising. In all cases, loot mechanics and tables are passed around the team and reviewed - we succeed as a team and we fail as a team. We're more than happy for you to be critical of our work as a team, but the repeated targeting of individual team members needs to stop." TL:DR; Feedback should be aimed at the work done by the team as a whole, not at individual devs. ๐ฃ๏ธโ Let's keep it civil and constructive, folks. Critique the game, not the people making it. After all, they succeed as a team and what's better for us as a community than supporting them through it all? โ๏ธ๐พ๐ Let's hope we can nip the negativity in the bud and keep the community a welcoming place for everyone. Your constructive feedback can make a world of difference! ๐ #OldSchoolRuneScape #OSRS #GameDevelopment #RespectTheDevs #CommunitySupport #ConstructiveFeedback #Wholesome ๐ก๏ธโจ
I got Gilded Platelegs from a Hard Clue Scroll in OSRS! ๐ฅ They're worth approximately 7 million, but more importantly, they are one of the mega-rare drops from clues. The chance to receive them is 1/35,750 and this is the first mega-rare item between hard, elite and master clues I've received. ๐ The collection log for the mega-rares is basically impossible to complete. Nobody has been able to do it yet as the rarest items, AKA 3rd age items, have a drop rate between 1/211,250 and 1/313,168 depending on the tier of the clue. And there are quite many of them, some of which can only drop from Master Clues. #OSRS #OldSchoolRuneScape #Jagex #Gilded #Clues #TreasureTrails #ClueScroll #HardClue #RewardCasket #MegaRare #UltraRare #Stonks
I was able to get the Fremmenik Way combat achievement done in OSRS. ๐ฒ The kill took about 30mins and I had two doses of Saradomin brew left (food) ๐ฌ Not easy with very mid gear but apparently doable. I also finished the combat achievement that requires you to kill Vorkath 10 times in a single visit, Extended Encounter. โณ One more to go before the speed kill achievements that probably require better gear: Dodging the Dragon โ Kill Vorkath 5 times without taking any damage from his special attacks and without leaving his area ๐ I had this in the bag twice but on both times stepped on a poison pool once during the last special attack on my fifth kill. ๐
While I just asked everyone to respect the devs of OldSchool RuneScape (OSRS), it doesn't hurt to playfully meme about game's bugs. ๐ Regarding the newly added Tormented Demons, they seem to ignore existing aggro entirely if another player somewhere walks in the same area. And they don't even have to come close to get the aggro. Mind you, it's a single-way combat area which means only one person can attack a monster at a time.๐ This image was a funny one from /u/ Entire_Helicopter_94 in /r/2007scape in Reddit. As /u/ScaryPi commented: "If my demon fiance did that I would call off the engagement, NTA." ๐ I'm sure it'll get fixed soon. Just love the memes and video clips of frustrated ironmen in Reddit. ๐ #OSRS #OldSchoolRuneScape #Bug #Meme #DistractedBoyfriend #TormentedDemons #WhileGuthixSleeps
Decided to attempt Vorkath combat achievements today in Old School RuneScape.โ๏ธ First off, I received a blue dragon Slayer task and decided to kill Vorkath in hopes of getting some money and chance for the Vorki pet too. ๐ฒ I started off with the achievement "The Walk".๐ถโโ๏ธ It involves a tick-perfect walking method also known as the "Woox Walk" in which the player attacks Vorkath, but quickly moves away to avoid being hit by the dragonfire barrage that is being shot by Vorkath every tick (0.6 seconds).โฒ Well I have never taught myself to Woox Walk as I've preferred a more relaxed Vorkath grind where I watch some YouTube while killing it and I also usually use a slow melee weapon such as Dragon Hunter Lance. Well it took me way too many tries but I finally got it done! ๐ (BTW, Woox is the legendary OSRS player who has pretty much come up with most of the PvM meta for the game. He is probably technically the best player in the game.)๐ Next off was "The Fremennik Way" which is a grandmaster combat achievement that requires the player to kill Vorkath without any weapons AKA only using fists.๐ค Well let's just say I'm still in progress with that one. I got him to 2% but ran out of super antifire potion and food.๐คฏ In the latest attempt, I was at 40% and had nearly all my supplies left, but Vorkath decided to combo hit me for max range and max melee and I didn't expect that at all with my high defence gear and risked it. Well, I died.. ๐ชฆ I'll get it next time but it just takes like 20mins per try as I'm pretty low geared still. I know I can do it now, but just requires some good RNG.๐ Wish me luck! P.S. believe it or not, but the image in question was the best attempt I mentioned above. I got him from 10% -> 2% with only those few potions left.๐ Wasn't able to take a screenshot later on as I was busy teleporting away.

Regarding my previous post about Bones to Peaches spell in OSRS. Why was it important? โก It was the final step I needed do to be able to finish the Lumbridge & Draynor achievement diary. ๐ And in fact, in both hard and elite versions of the diary! ๐คฏ Here are the rewards: HARD: - Explorer's ring 3 (50% run energy replenish 4 times a day & Unlimited teleports to cabbage patch near Falador farm) - Antique lamp worth 15,000 experience in any skill 50 or above - 10% increased experience from Tears of Guthix ELITE: - Explorer's ring 4 (100% run energy replenish 3 times a day & 30 casts of High Level Alchemy per day) - Antique lamp worth 50,000 experience in any skill 70 or above - 20% discount on items in the Culinaromancer's Chest - Ability to use fairy rings without the need of a dramen or lunar staff - Unlocked the 7th slot for blocking Slayer tasks - Double cave goblin wire is received when thieving Of course the most important unlock being: โก Ability to use fairy rings without the need of a dramen or lunar staff ๐ง๐ป That allows various teleports all over RuneScape and I no longer have to remember to pick up my dramen staff from the bank! Yay! Next step: Getting rest of the requirements to finish all the other Elite diaries! #osrs #oldschoolrunescape #dramenstaff #fairyrings #diary #achievementdiary #lumbridgeanddraynor #bonestopeaches #progress
Just got the skill to cast Bones to Peaches spell from the Mage Training Arena in OSRS. ๐พ It's unarguably one of the most boring activities in Old School RuneScape, but luckily it was made a bit quicker in the last update.๐ MTA is a mini-game that that provides a unique way for players to train their Magic skill while earning valuable rewards. It consists of four different rooms to test various aspects of player's Magic abilities: 1. Alchemist's Playground - Objective: Players must convert items into coins using the High Level Alchemy spell. - Mechanics: Different items on the tables can be alchemized for varying amounts of coins. The values of these items change periodically, requiring players to strategize on when to alchemize specific items to maximize their points. - Points Earned: Earned by collecting coins from alchemizing items and depositing them in the coin collector. 2.Telekinetic Theatre - Objective: Players use the Telekinetic Grab spell to move a statue through a maze to its destination. - Mechanics: Players solve the maze by carefully moving the statue step by step while avoiding obstacles. - Points Earned: Awarded upon successfully guiding the statue to its destination. 3.Enchanting Chamber - Objective: Players enchant various orbs using Enchant spells to earn points. - Mechanics: Different enchantment spells can be used on different types of shapes, with higher-level spells providing more points. Dragonstones, when enchanted, can also produce bonus items like dragonstones and runes. - Points Earned: Based on the type of shapes enchanted and the level of enchantment spell used. 4. Graveyard - Objective: Players collect bones and deposit them into a chute while dealing with reducing health. - Mechanics: Players must use the Bones to Bananas or Bones to Peaches spells to convert bones into food, allowing them to restore health and continue collecting bones. - Points Earned: By successfully depositing bones in the chute. #osrs #magetrainingarena
I got my second set of Blood Shards by thieving Vyres in OSRS! ๐ It took only 1000 more rounds of pickpocketing so I got pretty lucky! EZ 48 million gp in 5.5k Vyres pickpocketed ๐
Yay! Just received two Blood Shards by thieving in Old School RuneScape ๐ I have now pickpocketed almost 5000 Vyres in Darkmeyer and happened to get my first Shard right before the drop rate 1/5000. ๐ And as I'm using my rogues' outfit, I received double the loot. ๐ฅท That means 12.3M x 2 = 24.6M ๐ฐ Very cool! ๐ #RuneScape #OSRS #Pickpocketing #Vyres #Thieving #BloodShard #DoubleLoot
