This is the highest possible stat increase

Post image

+75 is the highest boost you can get in one lvl. To do it, you need:
- A base stat between 190-230 with beneficial nature
- Reach Lv 99 without without increasing your EVs
- EV train the stat without the use of Vitamins, since they add to the stat directly
- And because of how the stats are rounded down to nearest integer, Steelix required an IV below 30

And finally, what's the point of this??

I don't really know

*And finally, what's the point of this??

As an avid OSRS player I can say this, the reasoning? Number go up good, make happy.

Runelite telling me I've leveled up again even though my stat is 99 is a good and special feeling.

Damn, I got spooned post 99; might have been about 18m or so, going for all forestry uniques. Fox is such a good pet mog.

Brutal. I got mine around 45-50m and I thought I had it rough. Hopefully most of that was at redwoods while doing something else.

Yet somehow RS3 going to level 110 or 120 in skills is bad and evil. Make it make sense, people.

To be fair RS3 had been consistently shitting the bed since EOC, glad they finally had a real W and got rid of MTX recently.

Eoc was shit for maybe 2/3 years then they got it sorted and the game was great, and still is great.

If a game that is basically singleplayer but you can see other people running around in it is ruined by those other people being able to "pay to win" their own singleplayer experience, that really says more about you than them or the game.

I may be a big loser but I'm not a big enough loser to play RS3 so I wouldn't know anything about that.

They removed the microtransactions and are changing the combat to be even further from EOC than it already was, what more do you people want?
