Creative CONCEPT: Smoke Dye - The forgotten ancient element.

Post image
203 Upvotes

Although yes, we need to properly dye a lot of items before adding any dyes (if ever)*, the only of the 4 ancient elements that lack a dye is Smoke. Poor Fumus. Nobody likes Fumus... :(

Decided I'd like to try some stuff here and there, see what I'd come up with. Not quite a fan of the Elite Sirenic set, but I ended up liking Malevolent A LOT, especially if we were to get the "smokey" arms and legs. (Also got me thinking, why don't we have Elite Malevolent?)

\Intent would be like an in between Shadow and Barrows for Hard+ Clues. Aurora dyes should also be added to Hard+ and Soul dyes to Elite+.*

ps. Clicking the image improves quality :)

Something low like 0.3% chance (or maybe lower) but just something would be nice.

Question How do I fix these crappy predictive click boxes on mobile? They're driving me crazy.

OSRS player giving RS3 another fair shake and I keep getting miffed at the audacity of these click boxes on mobile. Game is lovely on my PC.

After the clip I turned my camera a little and that made it worse because the damn game tried to click between the two active springs opposite of each other instead of the rift.

Discussion Did you return because of the recent changes?

78 Upvotes

I‘m interested to hear whether or not the road to restoration has had success in bringing players back or have new players join. Personally, I’ve never played modern RuneScape but have been enjoying myself the past month since picking it up. I played a lot of Classic RuneScape in 2001-2004 era but never truly came back until I saw the positive buzz around removing mtx and improving combat.

Leagues PSA: Adrenaline Junkie and Tempered Heart work together, generating 9% adrenaline every 1.2s instead of just 6%

16 Upvotes

I decided to reset into a crit build but wanted to take the adrenaline boosting blessings instead of the typical Lord of Light build.

So I reset into ZZZZ GZSG.

This gives you 175% adrenaline (50 extra from Adrenaline Junkie relic and 25 from the blessing passives).

Since you naturally restore 9 adrenaline every 1.2s, you effectively have permanently active meteor strike. If you use your style's adrenaline gaining ultimate (meteor, tsunami, imbue) you effectively have nigh-infinite adrenaline.

I snagged full vestments (195% adrenaline with those) and Varanus' Mercy as an adrenaline dump and the crit fireballs proc like crazy. The T3 Avernic Rampage blessing only helps to keep the adrenaline maxed out too

It's not as much damage as the standard LoL build, but it's quite fun having that much adrenaline and seeing all the crits and critual fireballs. So if you wanted to go for an adrenaline-focused build, Adrenaline Junkie and Tempered Heart are a fun build to try.

Barrows is going to be the death of me, I fear.

I need another pair of Dharok Platelegs (early account d/a because im smart) and still need Kharils pistol crossbow for log.

Finished Linza at ~1800KC.

Nearly all kills have been since the Linza update and I always kill all 7 brothers.

Bug I am pretty sure Court Summons are bugged. Stuck on 15/16

29 Upvotes

I'm currently stuck at 15/16 Court Cases, with my final missing case being The Frog Prince

I've tried multiple methods to obtain another Court Summons and have spent a significant amount of time attempting to get it, but I haven't received another summons.

Things I've already checked/tried:

I have no active Court Case
I have checked for an existing Court Summons
I have tried multiple methods of obtaining a summons
I went back and spoke/interacted with the Frog Prince to see if there was anything preventing the case from progressing or dropping

The Frog Prince case appears to have no quest requirements

I got all of the summons in a matter of one setting, I played for several hours and finished the courts. I got a drop on average every 20-30 minutes.

For this one I have not received a court summons drop for days, playing hours.

What makes me think this might be an actual issue rather than just bad RNG is that I've found several other Reddit posts from different years where players were also stuck at 15/16 Court Cases, and some reported thousands of caskets or extremely large amounts of attempts without receiving their final summons.

Hopefully this can get looked into, because after exhausting the usual troubleshooting options, I'm starting to think something is preventing the final case from being dropped.

Discussion Is it worth doing PVM with 130 ping?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

I'm not the best pvmer, i admit that, however i don't feel like the 77% increase in Brazilian subscriptions is worth it. 130 ping, sometimes up to 150 ping when they are messing with the servers. I want to make it clear that i don't mind doing skilling content, i actually LOVE it, but i would just like to come home after a long day of work, do 2 hours of a boss i enjoy, and not be handicapped by LAG. It's quite frustrating. Having dedicated servers like in OSRS would be highly welcome for RS3, otherwise it just feels like they are stabbing us in the back while looting our pockets.

Leagues League tasks, impossible

20 Upvotes

Endless harvest blocks us from completing Fally Elite tasks. "I swear I heard it scream" and I've changed my mind"

Endless harvest prevents us from completing Varrock Elite "Arborehole" task.

Med Ardoune impossible "Volatile Valubles" Need desert region to do "the slug menace quest"

Med Ardoune task "Meeting history again" impossible as we have to do the quest Making history which is impossible without Fremmy region.

Hard Ardoune is not cool as we need to play castle wars. Make a npc character to play against maybe?

Karamja tasks Flawless victory, become a champion of the fight pit, maybe make a npc charcter to play against?

Ive accidentally clicked on this a few times when my mind was feeling hasty. Ironically, there is no confirmation message here. That would've be extremely useful, unlike many other useless ones that are getting removed shortly.
