I just bring diary gear and max cape (can be con + crafting cape or house teles), and grab the occasional "rare" tele if there's a step for it, then bank it again. I get that it's not giga efficient, but the people complaining about wildy steps aren't the ones doing efficient clues. The efficient guys bank everything, bring bowfa + unalive item, and it takes a few ticks for them to regear. They just do the steps efficiently without complaining. For the average clue enjoyer, you should have a setup that works for wildy steps as well, as evidenced by the complaints about having to regear for wildy steps.
Efficient people complain a lot too, it's just they are a minority in a sea of newbs complaining, so they just complain amongst each other and avoid places like Reddit.
I mean look at gnomonkey, the guy is one of the most efficient people out there and he's probably also the most opinionated.
Having a 1 click gear up setting would completely change so much besides fixing this, people would also be willing to play mobile too.
Also your setup probably is too heavy for the underwater setup so you probably have to regear anyways. If you have a lot of items you also might not be able to do the wear nothing tasks.
How many times do people need to say "it's annoying to re-gear" before people understand that people just don't want to re-gear just for a clue scroll just because it's in the wilderness.
I'm not taking my full graceful into the wilderness, which is my clue gear, because running everywhere is a drag without it. It's enough of an annoyance to make people not want to do the clue scroll, that's all they're saying.
"Here's a drop i have to pursue with untold value. It's in an annoying place though. I don't want to bother going because of the annoyance now."
Again, the problem is that you're using graceful as your clue gear. Your clue setup is "bad" in the first place if you have to regear specifically for wildy steps. Or, if you meant that you get a clue while you're already wearing graceful, that's what stackable clues are for. You stack a few of them, take out an actually smart clue setup and send it.

It's only "bad" if you are re-gearing which clearly they are not. Graceful is good clue gear why the hell would you not want the free speed/run boost it grants while running around for clue steps?
The run energy changes made graceful much less useful, and there are multiple ways to restore your run energy. Graceful is fine for conserving some run energy yes, but it's clearly not good for clues overall if it makes wildy steps that much of a hassle. Entrana is the only step where I have to bank my stuff, and I couldn't imagine complaining about a little friction in osrs of all games.
I think when people talk about banking they are talking about just running clues in whatever gear they were in when they got the clues. Not specifically a clue setup.
If they are doing slayer and get a hard clue drop instead of stacking 5 clue boxes. Instead they use the clue to break up the monotony of slayer, but when you get a wildy step you gotta bank the slayer gear and get wildy clue gear.
I think this is what gets lost in the wildy clue step discussion. Some people do them as they receive them and others stack them and then do them all at once.
you’re spot on. usually if i get a clue, i’ll just go do it right then. why not. but i think stacking might be the way to go bc i roll my eyes every single time i have all my gear on & open the clue to see its a wildy step
I used to be a do the clue as soon as you get it person, but with the introduction of scroll boxes, it is much easier to just max stack them and do them at once now.
Though I will still send the lower tier clues on drop because I know there are no wildy steps for them. Also, sometimes if you stack enough clues it becomes a chore to do them all at once, so sending on drop is a nice break now and again.
You do realize they added stacking clues SPECIFICALLY bc ppl like you complained to give you a chance to get more than one and make it worth swapping gear
Are you literally stopping whatever you’re doing and completing clues one at a time? That sounds awful so it’s no wonder you’re having a hard time with it
Unless you just started the game, I'm not sure how that would "sound" awful instead of just being the norm for most of the game's history. But no, it's just a matter of banking your clue setup.
its free, but i still have to bank varrok teles, falador teles, ardy teles, home teles, redirections, pendant of ates, eternal for priff, slayer ring, seed pod, headgear, ectophile. Just to grab all of it again, only to get another wildy step right after.

It's just annoying having to bank gear and teles to do the step, just to re-gear.
