Fort Forinthry

[lusty crow]

If his family sword was being kept there

[undone geode]

It’s tempered in swamp tar

Sorry I mean oiled

[bold quest]

They conscript civilians prior to EGWD

[hazy river]

one day soon we will find out what happened to vallance

[bold quest]

So it’s definitely a mix

[hazy river]

inshallah

[lusty crow]

If it hadn't been for what Veilinius said, I would argue he was genuinely just old and sick

Because no npcs ever imply otherwise, they only say the White Knights are taking advantage of him

Denulth, the Museum

Like, there doesn't need to be something more going on

Old weak puppet king resulting in a de facto coup is plenty intriguing

And actually believable

But then we got Veilinius suggesting something more

And having a crown on his table

[bold quest]

It was always pretty obvious there was more involved

Not necessarily because of in-game

[bold quest]

But the mods have teased storylines etc. around that very question

It’s been clear they’ve been thinking there’s more involved with Vallance for a bit now

[lusty crow]

That random quest pitch on the survey

About King Vallance "returning" to Falador and you helping Tiffy investigate what the king was up to

Was plenty intriguing

Almost suggested Vallance might be an antagonist??

In this random quest pitch, at least

And returning would mean he wasn't sick after all, he was actually off somewhere else - doing what?

[undone geode]

I’d be very surprised if that Vallance didn’t end up being a fake

[bold quest]

I always took that as Veilinius would return as him

Well, not always

But given what we know now

I assume that’s what they’d do

[lusty crow]

Hmm

That fits, I guess

A couple people in the Discord here have pointed out

That "Vallance" sounds oddly similar to "Veilinius"

What if there never was a Vallance

Veilinius says "the less said about King Vallance, the better"

Which can be interpreted in several ways

And he does have a crown on his table

Vallance -> Vey Lance -> Veilinius

[night stag]

Im prettttttttty sure that the next update is that Moia has sent out a declaration that anyone that can hold land in the Wilderness will be given a Duke title

Under her

And then Evil Dave builds a fort next door

That seems pretty obvious

How could the story go any other way

See Dave waving from atop his Keep “HIYA NEIGHBOR!”

[lusty crow]

We must consider

Who is Dave's elusive Uncle Nigel?

According to the Evil Dave court case

Nigel wants Dave to follow in his trade

But it isn't stated what this trade is

Oziach also notes he has not actually met Uncle Nigel so can't be certain he exists

But let us assume that he does

[night stag]

Butter churning

It was in the subtext

[bold quest]

My only issue with that is it seems hard to pull off

Unless Veilinius has been every king of falador

Since it’s inception

[bold quest]

Surely people would realize this random guy came in and isn’t actually the heir?

He had to have been born from the prior king right?

[night stag]

Depends

[lusty crow]

He devoured the prince and stole his form

[lusty crow]

Either that or

He has been every king of Falador.

What's Warbreaker?

[night stag]

Realized thats a spoiler

[bold quest]

I wonder how that would actually effect Asgarnia

[night stag]

A Sanderson book

[bold quest]

Asgarnia from its inception was one giant Zarosian deception

If that was the case

[lusty crow]

Yes

Veilinius does say that he rebuilt human civilization and that he is the power behind the throne

And Tiffy in Recruitment Drive mentions that the higher-ranking members of the Temple Knights have "almost complete control over this kingdom, plus a few others, so I hear"

So it might be that this entire time the three kingdoms have been a sham puppeted by Veilinius

Asgarnia more so than the others

@bold quest Thoughts?

In fact

This could even explain some of the stuff Solmestix has pointed out here

Why King Roald is so incompetent

Or why King Ulthas seemed to be for no apparent reason doing things to sabotage and weaken his own kingdom

Solmestix thought Ulthas was insane

But what if Ulthas was deliberately trying to destroy Kandarin

Because he knew the awful truth

But then Ulthas dies from an "accidental arrow fired during a hunting trip"

Who fired that arrow, Denn

[bold quest]

Avernic?

[lusty crow]

No

Veilinius' agent

Seriously though

Thoughts?

[bold quest]

It could work

I don’t necessarily know about Kandarin

[lusty crow]

But everyone knows about Kandarin; it's the largest human kingdom

[bold quest]

But it would be interesting if Raddallin was also Veilinius

It would be weird that he brought the Zamorakians in though

Given how much he hates the Zamorakians

Well I’m not sure if he does

I assume he does

Since Zarosian

[lusty crow]

Maybe he used the Zamorakians as tools then discarded them when they no longer served a purpose

[bold quest]

It seems like he tried to do the opposite of discard them

Unless this was all a psyop

[lusty crow]

The emissary of Zamorak who appears in Kara's dream claims that the Knights of Falador could have destroyed the Kinshra at any time but that they keep them around so the people will need them

What a strange claim to make

UNLESS

[bold quest]

Unless?

[lusty crow]

Vei

[night stag]

Yo the art is comin out

[dire stratus]

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PXaxR1

[bold quest]

im honestly surprised they let you customize the chapel

considering how much they wanted to move away from player god alignments

[sleek oracle]

Environmental designers gone rogue

[lusty crow]

Some of the production work that went into a smaller update for a new Fort.

"a smaller update"

Did no one tell him

[ocean storm]

I suppose if there is to be future updates to the fort then this might be considered a smaller update?

I liked the no seren comment

[acoustic trout]

I was just thinking last night how the random chunks of rubble in that area were definitely placed there because a building is going there and they don’t want people walking through.

[lusty crow]

Steps onto the walls... Some kind of watchtower, perhaps?

[dire stratus]

They wanted us to be able to climb onto the walls but it wasn't mechanical so couldn't be added, it was just an idea for a cosmetic thing

[ocean storm]

Future content perhaps?

[tight cape]

You know one thing I really appreciate here is that the buildings actually have visible rooves?

[lusty crow]

By Jiminy, I haven't had them on while inside

I'll have to remedy that

@hazy river Look at this

[hazy river]

crookedy windows

but looks nice

[sleek oracle]

Love it

[tight cape]

I believe the windows are level, it's the timbers around them that are causing them to look uneven

[night stag]

Theo so smug

[lusty crow]

Castle Kassel

[acoustic trout]

Also I know it’s just concept art but that lighting sketch shows buildings in the places we assumed new buildings would be added. Food for thought I suppose?

[flint solstice]

if there's arbitrary no-walk areas or debris, presumably there will be something new there so it would stand to reason

since "we need something there" was part of the "how to let people not be instanced but not look weird" solution

[lusty crow]

Ooh

Well spotted

[weary rose]

What sort of jobs would a Marcher Lord's fort require that we don't have currently filled?

We have an architect/builder (Bill), a banker (Copperpot), a gardener (Zoe?), a steward (Aster), and a logistics expert (Sivi). Oh and a priest.

[round juniper]

i dont think approval rating thing is working right

i boosted on Monday and my approval rating is 68% even though I boosted for 7 days

[flint solstice]

were you at 100 already

[round juniper]

it's also giving me the option to boost it again

even though I should have a current operating boost

[flint solstice]

isn't it up to a cap of days? So if you boosted it for 7 days, 2 days later you could still keep boosting up to a cap?

[round juniper]

i was not, and it doesn't give any indication that my last boost was running

[flint solstice]

Interesting on the second part. I think it prevents degrading rather than reboosting to 100 though

ofc the way it's phrased sounds like "free 100%, period"

[tight cape]

Pssh

And they say RS3 isn't pay to win

[flint solstice]

yeah, I'm still 100% and capped out on days (besides the 1 day since I last checked)

[neon rock]

Looks at how poor I am. "I mean.....

[round juniper]

Idk this is sus

[native vale]

smaller than a POH rework or a skill

[lusty crow]

But is it bigger than a breadbox?

[round juniper]

Has it ever come up I wonder like why exactly the adventurer would just stroll into Varrock to see the King to end up in possession of this fort

[tight cape]

That's sort of just what we do

We just wander into peoples' houses conveniently when they are having problems

[round juniper]

That is sort of classic storytelling but in a lot of recent storytelling it seems like it's preceded by some kind of invite or the story is written such that you might stumble upon something and become curious/invested

[gaunt oar]

Maybe we were on our way to raid the White Tree for fruit again?

[round juniper]

Rather in this story thread we just traipse into Varrock and are like "wuh wait the king wants something"

[tight cape]

We were stopping in to use the public restroom

[gaunt oar]

...What's a restroom?

[lusty crow]

Here we overhear voices coming from the throne room

Considering how many quests we start by randomly approaching people

It actually seems more organic to be passing by the throne room and happen to overhear stuff going on

Why were we in the palace to begin with? I don't know, why were we there to randomly begin any number of other quests?

[dire stratus]

I choose to believe the town criers throughout the kingdom have been announcing the King is looking for adventurers, maybe even mentioning what the job is and we went to apply.

[gaunt oar]

That or we are walking around and see someone who is clearly in distress so we go ask them what is wrong.

[neon rock]

This, firstly is how I see it

BUT

We are like link

breaking into people's places

minus pot breaking

[flint solstice]

we misclick and literally kill them

[gaunt oar]

I love Minish Cap...forget pot breaking, I just run all around digging up every patch of ground I can for mysterious shells.

[neon rock]

Actually speaking of Town Criers

[flint solstice]

I remember the april fools where we could kill generic men and women to get child jmod drops to raise on POF

[neon rock]

if you went to teh fort first

there is a flyer there and a tele tap to varrock

[lusty crow]

There's some great dialogue with the man in the house near the Falador furnace

Where he asks what you're doing in his house

And you say you're exploring

And he's like "But... Why are you exploring in my house?"

[neon rock]

I knowthat one

I remember!

[lusty crow]

The 2006 Falador update added so much character to the place

But at least two of those unique men/women have since been consigned to the void

The snobby rich woman who had the Party Room dropped on her mansion

And the paranoid man in an upstairs house that was obliterated by the Artisans' Workshop

[neon rock]

Oof

poor man

[lusty crow]

He's free now

[neon rock]

incinicrated with the updated

[lusty crow]

It's as though he never existed

And that means he never suffered

[gaunt oar]

I like to think they just have a secret room full of "dead" NPCs like Skyrim.

[neon rock]

But when you cease to exist, you suffer in a way

[hazy river]

having the king send us an invite or something to start the fort wouldve probably gone against the clean break idea

[neon rock]

Imagine

[neon rock]

Like I said, if you gone to the fort before the quest, there was a notice there

[hazy river]

oh is there?

[neon rock]

meaning someone had the idea to do what the king ask

but fled

[hazy river]

thats cool

[neon rock]

yup

it gave you a teletab

[hazy river]

see they think theyre being smart but i would take the teletab walk to varrock and boom

[lusty crow]

So here's a question

[hazy river]

free teletab

economy in shambles

[lusty crow]

Will we ever know what the Wilderness wall actually is in-lore

Who built it, when, and for what purpose?

[neon rock]

Silly, but yes

I mean they forced me to teleport when I said yes

but yes you are correct

[lusty crow]

Just wait til you hear about how I exploited Love Story

Where the WOM gives you teletabs to modify

[hazy river]

in a weird and meta logic i hope they never explain the wilderness wall so that they can one day remove it

oh yeah he gives you a bunch right

[neon rock]

yup

[lusty crow]

Hmm, in this, are you imagining the Wilderness being made a safe place?

[hazy river]

not really?

[lusty crow]

Yes, and you can obtain more repeatedly by - Dropping and asking again, I want to say?

[hazy river]

not any more safer than it is right now

although they are removing the threat system so i guess it will be

but i do think its purpose is largely not needed any more when you have to try fairly hard to enter a pvp state

and it just doesnt look very pretty

[lusty crow]

Still a perilous land of monsters and such

But considering its existence is never acknowledged in lore

[hazy river]

oh this is more of like a gameplay/game world consideration

[lusty crow]

Maybe deleting it would make sense

[hazy river]

lorewise its basically made out of used tinfoil

[lusty crow]

That's what I meant

Still kind of dangerous for a noob to stumble into

Although

If they removed it

[hazy river]

eh not even the lower levels really

[lusty crow]

Bob could be free once more

Gradually, slowly but surely, he has been fenced in

[hazy river]

free bob

[lusty crow]

He can no longer enter Kandarin because of the way WWM works now

[hazy river]

also i would assume just the visuals of the wilderness would let people know that its a dangerous area

[lusty crow]

Hmm, perhaps

Bob must be allowed to wander

[hazy river]

and i mean worst case with current death costs

a new player dies to a greater demon and has to drop like

maybe genuinely single digit gp

in death costs

[lusty crow]

Very well, I'm with you

Tear down the wall

[hazy river]

back in my day if you wanted to go to varrock you had to brave the dark wizards gauntlet

[lusty crow]

Ah yes

[hazy river]

fond memories of when osrs came out on mobile and high level players bought the ring of coins

which made you look like a big pile of money

and stood next to the dark wizards

many new players fell that day

[lusty crow]

That sounds cruel

I don't like that

But unrelated

[cunning briar]

I feel like some sort of alien anthropologist

yes hello excuse me, what is the social function of this "chapel"

[bold quest]

Kek

[round juniper]

dude you know what i just noticed about the fort

the light refracts off the water in the well onto the rope

and the well itself

[ocean storm]

That's been a thing for water for some time hasn't it?

[tight cape]

It has but it looks really really beautiful every time

[ocean storm]

I do like sitting at menaphos VIP area and looking at the reflections on the water

[lusty crow]

Father Aereck:
Welcome back to the church of holy Saradomin, my friend! What can I do for you today?

Who's Saradomin?
Father Aereck:
Surely you have heard of our god, Saradomin? He who created the forces of goodness and purity in this world? I cannot believe your ignorance! This is the god with more followers than any other...at least in this part of the world. He defeated the evil Zamorak in the battle of Lumbridge nearby, and he defends us from evil!

Oh, sorry, I'm not from this world.
Father Aereck:
... That's...strange. I thought things not from this world were all, you know, slime and tentacles.

I am! Do you like my disguise?
Father Aereck:
Argh! Avaunt, foul creature from another dimension! Avaunt! Begone in the name of Saradomin!
Player:
Okay, okay, I was only joking!

[acoustic trout]

Or were we….the player is a Chthonian demon theory deepens.

[neon rock]

new fort, new fit, who dis?

[lusty crow]

I'll get that outfit

For now I'm yak tracking, but there is a good chance I'll buy task skips eventually

But not yet.

[neon rock]

It looks real nice

with the right cape also

Same with the robes

both outfit, if added cape, can be real Dutchy like.

[gaunt oar]

Very Duke-y, Much Stylin' 😎

[bold quest]

If we do not form a glorious army of dudes in that outfit we have failed

[lusty crow]

Then you must track the yak

I have completed 24 tasks thus far

[bold quest]

I have done 14, I believe

[acoustic trout]

25 here

[night stag]

23 here

nice chill crafting task

[lusty crow]

I'll need to catch up to you

[acoustic trout]

Well my whole day is stacked with work and meetings so it won’t be hard for you.

[lusty crow]

I see, I see

Then I'll need to ensure Avernic doesn't gain a big lead over me

Which will probably happen

[night stag]

its not a race ;-;

[acoustic trout]

It is now

Winner, Who isn’t Darth, gets bragging rights and a burned piece of meat.

[lusty crow]

I can't pass up a prize like that

[sleek oracle]

What did I do

[neon rock]

What didn't you do?

[acoustic trout]

You’re too good at Yak it wouldn’t be fair.

[lusty crow]

Wait, it isn't fair for me to compete against Avernic, considering he gave me information earlier to help me complete my tasks more quickly

Or one task, at least

[spark anvil]

But he's a demon

You must

For saradomin!

[lusty crow]

Saradomin isn't real

https://tenor.com/view/sushichaeng-stan-twitter-cat-disappear-disappearing-meme-gif-25606316

[bold quest]

i lied

i logged in to check

im at task 18

but for real, i am quite impressed with the armor set

probably my favorite set in the game

[hazy river]

yeah i think i'll use it when i get it

although i'm gonna be skill and killing a lot of these tasks ngl

[lusty crow]

This is the first yak track to motivate me in this way

And it's for the armor

[lusty crow]

.

[bold quest]

,

[lusty crow]

Indeed

That's my way of pinging you after the fact

The last two lines before it were directed at you

[hazy river]

i like the shoulder capes as well

although i still wish they were overrides and not just physical items

[lusty crow]

Same

[sleek oracle]

I think on average this track is a little lower for me on the armor

But I absolutely love the pets

And am a fan of the weapons

The book override especially

[bold quest]

I see

Yes I agree

The art team in general for RS is fantastic

[lusty crow]

We're lucky to have them

[lusty crow]

The pets are great

I wish there was an option to override our old pet cats with these cats

[sleek oracle]

I did not like the pictures of the cat

But ingame with the animations it's fantastic

[bold quest]

How can Moia stop us now?

She’ll be too busy admiring the fashionscape of our fort

[night stag]

@lusty crow another hot tip i hope you know

stone spirits

[weary rose]

She'll offer us a shiny new cosmetic to betray King Roald.

[lusty crow]

Thank you

[night stag]

🙂

afk and doubles rate of task completion

[gaunt oar]

that might work, sadly.

[weary rose]

My services are for hire.

[bold quest]

What do stone spirits do

[night stag]

everything

[gaunt oar]

stone spirits double the ore you recieve.

[night stag]

just finished task 27

[sleek oracle]

Stuck on 21

Hate woodcutting tasks

[night stag]

agreed

[hazy river]

i'm still at like 15 or so but i'm just letting most of my tasks get skill and killed while i pvm

[sleek oracle]

I love when they randomly do a woodcutting or divination one

Complicately unrelated skills

One of the slowest paired with one of the fastest

[hazy river]

divination is gods chosen task

super quick

[sleek oracle]

If they were all divination there could be 100 tasks for all I care

Especially with the relic

Dwarves axe doesn't help with woodcutting unfortunately

Does with mining

[lusty crow]

I'm still doing task 27

It's slow going

Any pearls of wisdom to share?

[sleek oracle]

Skip summoning

[night stag]

27 was an arch task

[lusty crow]

Yes

[night stag]

i have a couple hundred unrestored artifacts in the bank

[lusty crow]

I'm doing Arch but am probably doing it wrong

Ah

[night stag]

those take me a minute

[sleek oracle]

Oof I don't have any stored afaik

Need them to add arch dummies to the crates

[night stag]

155m arch xp and still no spear tip 🙃

so i have a lot of kalikra shit

[sleek oracle]

I usually just grind away at the staff locations

[gaunt oar]

how does dwarven army axe work for mining tasks?

[night stag]

same difference

[sleek oracle]

Isn't it just a normal axe? Or do you mean the TH one

[gaunt oar]

Wait, do you mean this: https://runescape.wiki/w/Dwarven_chainaxe?

[sleek oracle]

Yeah that one

The mining one doubles your progress so it counts towards your track

[gaunt oar]

Okay, that makes sense. I was thinking the other dwarven axe

[neon rock]

Chainsaw

[neon rock]

Look how happy he is

that's a face of a future serial killer

[sleek oracle]

Tbf if he's in priff isn't he already a serial killer

[neon rock]

No no

it's the start

[sleek oracle]

What tier is that?

[dire stratus]

IT'S THE GUY FROM FORTNITE

[hazy river]

it's John Wick Fortnite

[night stag]

31

[sleek oracle]

So close

[acoustic trout]

Avernic wins

[lusty crow]

I am actually on that task myself

Mostly done, too

But I forced myself to take a break to avoid burnout

I could have beaten him

[acoustic trout]

I mean in the end Avernic won, he completed the task, the burned meat is his.

[lusty crow]

Darn

However

It's not over yet

31 gets you the armor

[acoustic trout]

You could see if you could convince avernic to do double or nothing yeah

[lusty crow]

58 gets you the robes

[acoustic trout]

We can even let Darth participate in this one.

[lusty crow]

Very well

However, I have an inkling that I may reach my limit before this point and end up buying task skips

[acoustic trout]

Avernic has to agree to it though otherwise it’s not a competition

[night stag]

Pfft

Ill take my winnings now

[acoustic trout]

I mean you’ll take them when I get off work and critical roll starts :p

[night stag]

Or

You can drop them on the ground

And watch them disappear

In my honor

[acoustic trout]

That…feels like it’s just a flex on Kitty

[night stag]

🙂

[gaunt oar]

still need task 70 for the cape.

[acoustic trout]

As the officially appointed judge of this contest, I deem that we are now on a point system. The first point to goes to avernic but 2 points remain, the second outfit at 58 and the final reward at 70. Winner is whoever gets the most points sound good?

That would mean Avernic already needs just 1 more point to win, Kitty and Darth can still catch up.

[lusty crow]

Very well, though I must state again there is a good chance I will drop out before 58 and just buy task skips

[lusty crow]

Premier pass obtained, and now I at last have the knight gear and shield. Hopefully this will motivate me to continue

[night stag]

Dress to impress

[lusty crow]

Indeed

[weary rose]

I'm at task 20 now. You guys are going too fast

[night stag]

ill take 100m to slow down

[lusty crow]

Don't worry, I think I might throw in the towel

Now that I have the knight armor my motivation has decreased significantly

I'll do a combination of task skips and relaxed skilling before March 20

[weary rose]

I'm completely guessing here but will the new building be a guard outpost or something?

[lusty crow]

I mean, guessing is the only thing any of us can do right now

[sleek oracle]

Ironically enough to go 4 more

My guess is something along the lines of barracks / armory

[lusty crow]

Having not eaten all day, I ordered a footlong sandwich from Subway and found myself unable to finish it

It may be that twelve inches of sandwich is too much for most mortals

This is entirely off topic but I felt the need to share this

[weary rose]

I'm reading too much into the cosmetics lol

[lusty crow]

I heard someone in here say (mind you, I don't know the source) that apparently Jagex didn't want to use the knight armor for fort guards because it looks too knightly

[weary rose]

Hmm we just have to start our own knightly order then

Call them Fort Knights

[night stag]

i think that a barracks is likely.....

[weary rose]

I mean there will be a murder at Glielinors own TexMex restaurant

[lusty crow]

I'm going to flex on Duke Horacio; all he has is part-time volunteer farmers

[lusty crow]

The victim died because the food was too spicy

[sleek oracle]

Maybe a jail lol

[lusty crow]

What would that do for us?

[sleek oracle]

Something to hold our murderer

Or a morgue

Somewhere to store our victim

For now

[lusty crow]

A morgue could tie in to necromancy

[sleek oracle]

I assume the necromancy building will come with necromancy

[lusty crow]

Yes

That seems a reasonable assumption

[sleek oracle]

For a fort to defend Misthalin from the Zamorakians it has a distinct lack of any ability to do that

[night stag]

tbh

we kinda could use a restaurant.... or a pub....

[sleek oracle]

Our true job of course is to be attacked instead of Varrock

Pub imo is unlikely

With jolly boar so close

[night stag]

irrelevant

[sleek oracle]

And yeah yeah scale theory or whatever

But game wise

It's right there

[night stag]

thats 2 days journey by scale theory

[lusty crow]

Not really

[night stag]

2 months journey

[lusty crow]

In the novels the Salve River is one day from Varrock

[sleek oracle]

Also just a general lack of utility

[night stag]

morale

morale is 1/3 of how we make a ship sail

ports says so

[sleek oracle]

Though idk what reward space is really missing

I'd say a bonfire

Maybe a mess hall type thing

[lusty crow]

The Zamorakians will be intimidated by our walls and assume we must have soldiers inside, because who would build a fort on the border of the Wilderness without soldiers?

It's a psychological tactic

[weary rose]

Maybe we will contact the dwarves for multicanons down the road

[gaunt oar]

but how fast were the unicorns galloping?

[gaunt oar]

more like morale is 1/3 of the way to ensure your crew don't just make off with your boat.

[lusty crow]

Slow-paced journey; they even stopped for dinner at the estate of Lord Ruthven

The area east of Varrock has a number of small noble fiefs

Our fort is actually perfectly placed

Now we are the northernmost of these little holdings

[bold quest]

This is the funny part

“I want you to build a fort to defend Misthalin”

“Okay defend it with what army”

“Idk make one”

“Roald, what?”

[flint solstice]

"alright then"
"NOT LIKE THAT"

[acoustic trout]

He gets no room to complain, his "reward" is doing the manual labor of building my own fort for the specific puprose of acting as a sacrificial lamb to draw attention away from Varrock. I will not miss him if he is the one murdered...

[tight cape]

You guys are cruel, hot damn

[lusty crow]

I have succumbed

[lusty crow]

Questions about my new unlocked cosmetics (which all look fantastic)

1. Why is the spear called that when it's clearly a lance? We have at least one lance ingame, so it's not like the term is unheard of in RS

2. What on Guthix's green Gielinor is a "chakram"

They can't just make up words

[flint solstice]

Chakram isn't made up

They're real weapons and we have crystal ones in game already

[lusty crow]

Oh right

I do vaguely remember the crystal one being a thing now that you mention it

[flint solstice]

Thrown circular blades

If rs went that route they'd probably be melee range hybrid

[lusty crow]

Well

It still seems out of place among the rest of the stuff

[flint solstice]

Like Greg's weapons

Finishing up my thought, not saying his weapons are out of place

[lusty crow]

I can see why the Forinthry royal knight set wouldn't be a good fit for random guards

It feels like something a nobleman would wear into battle

[hazy river]

a chakram as a misthalin thing is a bit weird

[neon rock]

Give it time

soon we can behead them all

I mean

prove them wrong.

[lusty crow]

Robin Take 2, now with golden cane

[sleek oracle]

That second outfit is growing on me

I just wish it didn't have the fleur's

[neon rock]

yeah I removed the hat

I am going hatless duke

[sleek oracle]

Yeah I'm not a fan of most RuneScape hats

Or head items period

[lusty crow]

You know, it occurred to me

There's room now for some interesting character moments with Ellamaria

We can like, bond

Over the struggles of being of common background

And now being elevated to such positions

Where we are no doubt mercilessly judged by our new "peers"

[gaunt oar]

Chakram is the indian version of a Shuriken.

[lusty crow]

Ninja stars?

[sleek oracle]

Ellamaria strikes me less as woman of the people and more disdain for the place she came from

Not that she couldn't become a more sympathetic character

But I like her as the more ruthless side of Roald personally

[neon rock]

We can now discuss with Roald about how nuts his wife his and how terrifying she can be

[sleek oracle]

An entire quest where the nobility cower in mutual fear of Roalds wife

I really don't think we should completely rule out Roald dying

He's not my first guess

But I think Roald or Horacio are very good narrative choices

[lusty crow]

He needs to sign the papers to make me a duke first

[gaunt oar]

Hmm, it worked more like a kunai (throwing knife) but looks more like a shuriken (i.e. spinning blade). While mostly used as a throwing weapon, Chakrams (and the smaller version, Chakri) could be used to fight hand-to-hand as well.

[sleek oracle]

Plus if it's Horacio we can get a necromancy quest and make Horacio a funeral cake

[lusty crow]

Everyone forgets the cake was a lie

As revealed in the first subquest of RFD

[spark anvil]

Support

[sleek oracle]

No dialogue because we can't risk her hearing us

[spark anvil]

I really doubt that as part of the fort stuff is going back to old familiar faces, killing them off would hurt that (plus drag the story away from the fort and towards lumby/varrock)

[sleek oracle]

I think to me it's more that they're both notable while also not being particularly key to anything unresolved

While also creating some semi interesting succession stories for the future

Like if Roald does Ellamaria taking over I think has some very interesting potential

Obviously if Horacio dies it goes to Meg and Lumbridge becomes Megtown

[lusty crow]

Meg is Horacio's long lost daughter

We weren't told how Duchess Oriana died, were we?

Maybe she died in childbirth

[spark anvil]

Just being key characters for existing storylines makes them excluded since the fort storyline is something you can do first, it makes having to replace those characters (or explain why they're randomly alive) a pain

More likely are the unknown rulers of some towns, probably ones scaltheory'd away even

The edge lord or whoever took over from count draynor are likelier choices for relating to ingame places

[lusty crow]

The baronet of Fort Blibberwock, a fort consisting of one house and a wooden barricade guarding the strategically important north Lumbridge cowfield

[hazy river]

on the other hand it would make it feel a bit cheap if it was just some random guy

[sleek oracle]

Yeah

[hazy river]

aka a Certified Brother Samwell Moment

[sleek oracle]

Maybe the thief's wife's dad

[lusty crow]

Unless we spend the first part of the quest getting to know the guy

Like V

[hazy river]

V's death was cheap

[sleek oracle]

Isn't one of the thieves parents nobility?

[hazy river]

yeah

[lusty crow]

Yes

[hazy river]

the blonde one

[lusty crow]

Noble ran away with the thief breaking into her family's vault

[sleek oracle]

If their parent dies and they became a noble that'd be potentially interesting

[lusty crow]

Rather than enter an arranged marriage with a very boring nobleman

[lusty crow]

Who apparently dresses like the old RS2 default appearance

[lusty crow]

Hmm, indeed

It would put a bit of a damper on the whole thievery thing

[sleek oracle]

Maybe someone from Family Crest

[lusty crow]

Ah, the Fitzharmons

[hazy river]

it could be the guy who gives you chaos gauntlents since theyre beyond dead content now

🙂

[sleek oracle]

Could stick Sir Prysin in the new yak track armor

And kill him

[lusty crow]

The new yak track armor has our crest on it

[sleek oracle]

Notable enough to go "oh yeah that guy" but not feel and about it

[sleek oracle]

That's fixable

Or ignorable

Maybe Roald tried to push him off on us

I really hope the knight outfit is the one they give us an umbral version of

[lusty crow]

This man is technically not wrong

[night stag]

@lusty crow u skipped!

[lusty crow]

I did indeed

I succumbed to temptation

But I always said it was going to happen

[night stag]

Twas inevitable

[lusty crow]

See

Indeed

[night stag]

17 days to qwest

[lusty crow]

I look forward to it

[sleek oracle]

I think I can get away with going to 68 and stopping

I do want the pet outfit there

But I can just buy the shoulder cape

[lusty crow]

Yeah, that was my plan

I just bought the cape off the GE on Day 1

Before the prices rose

[sleek oracle]

Oof

Don't buy day 1 things

[lusty crow]

Oh, really?

Has it actually fallen?

[night stag]

y would you stop 2 from the end

[lusty crow]

Because

There's no more unique cosmetics and pets

Only a tradable cape

I guess there's yak coins

[night stag]

thats 3 coins off of the golden detonate animation

[lusty crow]

How often do you use detonate?

16 Yakcoins for that is a ripoff

[night stag]

more often than i switch my outfit

[hazy river]

its pretty good with blast boots but yeah

i'd rather get one of the capes maybe

[lusty crow]

I used my Yakcoins to get all the pets, plus Hearty Rest from a previous yak track

Fight the Fatigue seemed conceptually tempting (is it supposed to be a sleeping bag?), but it looked like it might clip badly

[sleek oracle]

Yeah 68 is the last cosmetic

[hazy river]

well tbf if you like

[sleek oracle]

I usually use skips on the last 4 or so tasks anyway

[hazy river]

train any skill in the next 2 months you'll get that stuff + a bunch more yak coins

[sleek oracle]

I really don't play enough to hit that

Those last skill and kills are 100 a piece

[night stag]

100????

[sleek oracle]

Although the XP side of both are not bad

[spark anvil]

All our murder mystery quests go that way though, like both lord sinclair and || not || sister anna only exist to be the dead bodies to start their quests

[night stag]

theyre 0

[sleek oracle]

575k hunter and 450k construction for 69/70

[night stag]

60

[sleek oracle]

Wiki is showing 100

Starting at task 66

[night stag]

wiki is showing 60 >.>

[lusty crow]

I am an infamous xp waster

[sleek oracle]

Oh I meant the tasks

Not the repeatable one

[night stag]

o

[sleek oracle]

I'll use my coins from the track for the 4 pet outfits

Then I'll buy the shoulder capes off the GE

Ability overide doesn't interest me

One thing they could do for me to improve the repeatable tasks is to have it be S&K or a randomly generated other task

I just don't enjoy S&K

[spark anvil]

Actually, this asshole could be the one murdered, since I don't think he is in any quest despite being a noble

[night stag]

what if

ehh ive sorta suggested it before

but itll be clutterbuck or anette's father that is killed

and we have to prove that it wasnt annette or caelyn

[lusty crow]

He's a courtier from Ardougne

And after he learns who you are he's quite excited to meet you and becomes very pleasant

He's only dismissive before he learns that you are a famous adventurer

[tight cape]

A spear is a lance

[lusty crow]

Isn't that the other way around?

[spark anvil]

So he only cares if we're famous? Still worthy of being offed

[lusty crow]

No, he says how he's traveled a little and has heard so much about our heroics

And how it's a pleasure to meet us

It doesn't feel like it's a fame thing

More genuine appreciation

[spark anvil]

Outside of him looking outdated being as a member of roalds court I think he'd be included at a function

[spark anvil]

But if we were some random peasant he'd still act like a dick?

[tight cape]

Either or. This isn't an "all squares are rectangles" statement, this is a case of potato/potahto. (Who says potahto anyway??)

[lusty crow]

Well, he'd not talk to us, apparently

So I guess kind of

[lusty crow]

Hmm, but they have separate pages on Wikipedia

A lance is a spear designed to be used by a mounted warrior or cavalry soldier (lancer). In ancient and medieval warfare, it evolved into the leading weapon in cavalry charges, and was unsuited for throwing or for repeated thrusting, unlike similar weapons of the javelin and pike family typically used by infantry.

A javelin is a light spear designed primarily to be thrown, historically as a ranged weapon, but today predominantly for sport.

[spark anvil]

Are you expecting heartstealer to be a req?

[lusty crow]

A pike is a very long thrusting spear formerly used in European warfare from the Late Middle Ages[1] and most of the early modern period, and were wielded by foot soldiers deployed in pike square formation, until it was largely replaced by bayonet-equipped muskets.

[night stag]

no

[spark anvil]

Then they're probably not involved

[night stag]

i dont see the correlation

[spark anvil]

We'd have no reason to trust them without that quest

[night stag]

#doubt

[lusty crow]

This should be the solution to the murder: https://youtu.be/XfdJGrGfA_Y

[night stag]

they trust us before that quest

[spark anvil]

Yeah because that quest wasn't part of a fresh start

[tight cape]

Well yeah there are different kinds of spear. The one from this yak track looks like it's inspired by a tournament lance, used for jousting. In real life you probably wouldn't see anything quite like that on an actual battlefield, they were designed to shatter and explode on impact. They were very much form over function since they were being used for a very showy sort of event

[spark anvil]

This quest is the equivalent of missing presumed death so we're gonna get everyone introduced again

[lusty crow]

Trindine will be disappointed that we didn't champion the cause of Zaros?

[spark anvil]

Of azzanadra*

[lusty crow]

Ah yes

Disappointed that our chapel was not aligned to Azzanadra

[weary rose]

I plan to use my skips for the repeatable tasks at the end

[lusty crow]

I feel like I probably did a bad thing wasting my money on so many skips

[bold quest]

guys

i just bodied avernic in a debate

[bold quest]

look at my glorious star

[spark anvil]

Denn is the only debate you can win really the one where you call the demon a demon?

[bold quest]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-kitty-miss-you-hello-kitty-cat-gif-14510827

[night stag]

shit im at the point where the minimum ore for mining tasks is banite

[flint solstice]

that's still easy and afk

and usually sub 1 hour

afk in the jatizo boots 4 mine with the guy who one-click notes ore, or use porters with your juju + stone spirits, easy

[night stag]

still not as fast as orikalchite >.>

[flint solstice]

21% more health, but also less chance of wasted damage

and the noting guy is pretty sweet to save porters

[spark anvil]

not having 5k porters banked

[night stag]

okay so

CHALLENGES

do we think that the update Sponge is working on that involves Fort Guards is CHALLENGES

what even are CHALLENGES

[round juniper]

Wot

[night stag]

CHALLENGES

[sleek oracle]

I guess that's next on the list?

Maybe they're tied to the mystery building the quest gives

[sleek oracle]

I've expanded my guess to barracks / armory / mess hall type thing

Though you could do most of what I'd considered mess hall in barracks

[night stag]

maybe the building gives us like

+1/2/3 to the daily challenge system

[sleek oracle]

Idk

[night stag]

that would be kinda boring

[sleek oracle]

3 more free keys seems weird

[hazy river]

i honestly have a feeling that challenges is just a generic word they put in there

to cover for something that wasnt really finished in development yet

[sleek oracle]

I do hope though one of the buildings brings content with it vs improving access to existing content

[flint solstice]

the CHALLENGES of building the fort

THE CHALLENGE of finding rocks

The CHALLENGES of turning to bricks and walls!

[lusty crow]

Yeah challenges seems super generic

[round juniper]

I'm shooting in the dark here, but an apothecary

reasoning:

it's coming with a murder mystery quest

the murderer will probably be poisoned by something and they'll call in an apothecary to identify the potion

and he'll huff and puff about needing a shop

[weary rose]

I would like a druid here in the fort so an apothecary works

[lusty crow]

We get the Varrock apothecary and he gives everyone hair loss potion

[undone geode]

Inb4 it’s Sister Anna dressed as a Ripper Demon who is dressed as Duke Horacio

[lusty crow]

Sister Anna is dead

[cunning briar]

or is she?

[lusty crow]

Maybe the flights of Icyene really did carry her away

[bold quest]

Is it confirmed fort guards are a thing

[night stag]

Yeah in like April

[lusty crow]

I bet it'll be two uninteractible npcs in the corner using this model

Examine Guard: "Guards the fort."

[gaunt oar]

Terrible Take: The Guards are actually bodyguards for one of the nobles attending our dinner party: Once we solve the murder and everyone is allowed to leave, the guards leave along with their employer.

[weary rose]

yooo the pets on this trak can perform emotes

[lusty crow]

So

I have armor and robes

Both befitting a duke

Which do I want to make my regular Fashionscape as I go around the lands of Gielinor?

I could either go the route of

1. Robes are standard, and the armor only comes out for battle

2. Armor is standard, and the robes only come out when at home in the fort or at some noble function (like a banquet)

Any opinions?

[dire stratus]

Is the armour the FF armour? That's for guards, you're meant to be a Duke.

[lusty crow]

I don't think it's actually meant for the guards

This is second-hand hearsay, but someone in here said that apparently Jagex didn't want to give it to the fort guards because it's too knightly?

And it's after I obtained it that I realized it's kind of fancy

Feels like something a nobleman would wear into battle

[gaunt oar]

I kind of prefer a mixture of the 2 in my fashionscape, something like this, for example:

So it's mostly cloth-based for running around and skilling, but then it's got a bit of sturdy armor for protection up-top if I want to do combat, as well.

[lusty crow]

Oh, I was actually asking about the yak track sets specifically

I had made my own duke outfit before the yak track came out

But I've replaced it now

[gaunt oar]

For the current Yak Track, I would mix-match like this:

[sleek oracle]

I like that a lot

The first one*

Don't dislike that one either

I was playing around with some legs for the top

2 on the bottom right I think I prefer

[lusty crow]

Hmm

[sleek oracle]

The Zamorak anima core legs are surprisingly versatile

[still edge]

It’s great how well these go together

Well, some of them

I’m slightly surprised the Fort colour is red

It’s not an issue, like at all

Just given the enemies are Zamorakian I thought they might’ve used a dif colour

[sleek oracle]

Honestly the issue with most imo is color

I'm just so impressed that the waists line up

[still edge]

Yeah

[acoustic trout]

The best helmet for it is crunchy’s helmet unfortunately they never fixed the horrifying facial glitches in the text boxes that occur while wearing it.

Demon hunter stuff like the quiver and gloves go really nicely with it to.

[still edge]

There’s an unused Icyene reskin of that helm iirc

[sleek oracle]

Demon hunter matches a lot of stuff well

The helmet at least

They still haven't updated the GE /vault npc

[still edge]

I hope they use demon Hunter partly as a base to rework hide armour

[acoustic trout]

Ehhh it’s not scaly enough I think

[sleek oracle]

Yeah I'd agree it's not hide enough

I'm excited to see what remastered god/gilded armor looks like

[acoustic trout]

I’m not but only because I’m salty that it won over the neizot helm and crystal bow.

[spark anvil]

Those polls remind me how annoying the rs community can be, like I still don't get the anger over the new nezzy helm when it barely changed, like so many items were completely changed and yet the one looking mostly the same is the one people complain about...

[lusty crow]

The player base is a mystifying thing

[weary rose]

These pets from the Yak Trak are so cute

[sleek oracle]

If you buy the upgrade for 4 runecoins does it give you the base pet?

I assume it wouldn't?

I bought the upgrade for the cat I already took

[weary rose]

just the upgrade. still got to unlock the base

[sleek oracle]

Wonder who that is

[ocean storm]

No idea, but but I am excite for who it could be.

[night stag]

Do people really not think its roald?

[sleek oracle]

Roald was my first thought

But he's also wearing our sigil / knight armor

And also who else would be wearing a crown

[gaunt oar]

Anlaf or any of the other kings in game

[hazy river]

yeah him wearing armour with our sigil is weird

but maybe thats a mistake with the art

if he had that armour with like

yellow cloth with the varrock crossed swords

itd be fine

[sleek oracle]

Yeah

Honestly even if he has our crest it's not the end of the world

Just visually confusing

[acoustic trout]

Maybe it’s just a stand in for us?

[lusty crow]

I considered that

It may well be

[dire stratus]

Do Dux wear crowns?

[lusty crow]

Dukes?

[night stag]

where is this crest

i must be blind

im not seeing it

[lusty crow]

In the United Kingdom, a peer wears the coronet on one occasion only: for a royal coronation, when it is worn along with coronation robes, equally standardised as a luxurious uniform.

In the peerages of the United Kingdom, the design of a coronet shows the rank of its owner, as in German, French and various other heraldic traditions. Dukes were the first individuals authorised to wear coronets. Marquesses acquired coronets in the 15th century, earls in the 16th and viscounts and barons in the 17th.

[gaunt oar]

Very lower left of image, there's 2 patches of blue on the red part of the sleeve - that's the dragon crest from Fort.

[night stag]

this?????

discord is blocking other angles of the sleeve for being explicit

thanks discord

[gaunt oar]

Yeah, iirc that's where the crest on the new outfit is.

[acoustic trout]

Maybe it’s Rolad wearing our sigil as like…solidarity? Like the king wears our sigil as sign of recognizing the legitimacy of the duchy?

[lusty crow]

Wait for this to just be promotional art and Roald isn't even updated for the quest

[night stag]

100% this

we could always just.....

@white girder

[acoustic trout]

Tbh I think it’s most likely that this is just a stand in for us.

But it’s fun to imagine Roald get an update

And would have such a handsome bulb of a nose

[lusty crow]

That too

[sleek oracle]

It feels like it might be proxy art for us?

[night stag]

i think ur all insane

[lusty crow]

It seems likely to me

[lusty crow]

Why?

[night stag]

that is so obviously roald to me

just as obvious as EGWD being in Camdozaal was

[lusty crow]

But you do agree that even if it is meant to be him, it's not an indication he'll actually be updated, right?

[acoustic trout]

Maybe avernic said we’re crazy cause I expressed a desire to just reach in and honk that nose. A desire to grab a big nose has been a thing I’ve dealt with since I was a kid, my father had one of the most massive noses in the world just begging to be honked. As a young boy I’d sometimes climb onto the bed with him in the weekend and wake him up to make me breakfast by honking his nose, it became a running joke.

[night stag]

yes

[ocean storm]

Maybe it's a player stand in, or a fort forinthry usurper.

[hazy river]

its 100000000% roald

well

its 1000000000% not the player

its 100000000% roald and maybe like 5% its just some unknown guy

[sleek oracle]

It makes way more sense to be Roald yeah

Though that guy looksn much younger than I imagine Roald to be

[lusty crow]

How old do you imagine Roald to be?

[sleek oracle]

Don't have a specific age

But older than that

Probably 50s/60s

[ocean storm]

Wouldn't they have to revamp roald entirely though?

[lusty crow]

It's just art

Doesn't mean anything

[lusty crow]

As of which year?

[sleek oracle]

🤷‍♂️

[hazy river]

i would say just at a guess that he'd be

late 30s early 40s in 169?

[sleek oracle]

Whatever age he has a little bit more grey hair

[hazy river]

this is more or less speculation

[sleek oracle]

Yeah this feels right

[lusty crow]

I want to say 34 as of 169

[hazy river]

we know he was king in 160

and i think if he had been like

[sleek oracle]

He just should be greying 😂

[hazy river]

a child king

we'd have heard about that

[acoustic trout]

Is it time for them to introduce a prince to Varrock?

[sleek oracle]

Between BOL/EGWD / His Wife

[lusty crow]

Not necessarily

[hazy river]

that would've probably come up

[lusty crow]

His father was actually King Roald II

And the census doesn't clarify which Roald it means

[hazy river]

oh yeah true

[acoustic trout]

Roald doesn’t have any heirs right now right?

[lusty crow]

As far as we know

Unless he had one offscreen

[hazy river]

the closest known heir is a canoe guy who is roalds fourth cousin once removed

[acoustic trout]

Plot twist Roald is the murder victim and his next in line cousin is the top suspect.

[hazy river]

presumably somebody is slightly closer

[lusty crow]

My opinion is that as of 169, Roald was 34 and Ellamaria 21

I have come to this hypothesis after thought and conjecture derived from interpretation of sources

I have no proof of this

But it's not wholly arbitrary

[white girder]

scrolls up
fails to spot the question

Is the question "Is King Roald updated in the Murder on the Border quest?"

No. Character artists were occupied with other parallel projects during this project's development. We're swapping in a newer outfit for Roald's incarnation in the quest, but his body remains consistent. (And as noted elsewhere, he had a bit of a touch up in River of Blood.)

Roald definitely hasn't been updated to look like that promotional art ingame. (Was a bit uncertain whether it was meant to be King Roald when it came from Creative Services, to be honest - they had a lot of detail to fill in, I guess.)

[sleek oracle]

So it is meant to be Roald?

[white girder]

I believe so.

[lusty crow]

A new outfit is something, at least

But only during the quest? Not his version in the palace?

[white girder]

Correct. We're not doing graphical updates elsewhere with this quest.

[lusty crow]

I see; that's a slight shame, but good to know

[night stag]

yeah question was "is that roald?" because i was saying it was roald and other people were like no thats not roald

[acoustic trout]

Can you share with us if any graphical updates are planned for this storyline? Not what they are or when just yes or no?

[native vale]

no

[acoustic trout]

Kay

[native vale]

that's "no we can't share" not "no definitely none are happening"

[hazy river]

that's what you WOULD say if nothing was happening

[acoustic trout]

I figured as much, your no’s tend to have a kind of…shut down feeling aura to them, stern maybe is the word. That’s not an insult or anything btw, I understand just you never know unless you ask.

[native vale]

yeah np, it was partly for stu's benefit

[spark anvil]

So it originally was meant to be roald, but is now changed to be a stand-in for us?

[sleek oracle]

@night stag

[night stag]

@sleek oracle

[night stag]

yes.

it keeps getting better

[acoustic trout]

losing the Bilrach placemat feels like a net loss for me

Also we should have this king contrasted with the Burger King

[bold quest]

Wait

Am I missing something

Where is our sigil?

I don’t see it

I don’t see the king dude wearing it

[acoustic trout]

You know thinking about it that artwork almost ALMOST make Mod Jack's "the armor was to fancy for guards" seem right, ALMOST but not quite.

[bold quest]

Oh

[hazy river]

to be honest in that rendition the fur looks a lot nicer

looks like its fur from the hands of an adorable otter or something rather than the travel worn raggedy polar bear lining the armour in game

[night stag]

50 tasks done

[night stag]

woah woah

i didnt realize after task 50 every other task gives a coin

this is great!

[hazy river]

i think by the time you get 70 you'll get enough yak coins to get another shoulder cape

[night stag]

its 21 coins 1-70

[weary rose]

I'm almost at 30 tasks myself

Using the agility ones to make some money

[lusty crow]

Crusader Kings 3's next DLC was revealed today

Reading the blog post

And

Grand Tours see you assemble your entire court and set out to visit vassals in your realm - an activity commonly undertaken by medieval rulers. This is a way to assert your overlordship, while also enjoying the hospitality your vassals have to offer. There are various paths to take: Intimidation, Majesty, or Taxation, all affecting the rewards and opinions of your vassals. At its core, Tours are a tool for realm stability - and something a newly-ascended ruler should undertake quite early to avoid factions and revolts. You also get to choose between ways of approaching your vassals individually; you might want to tour the grounds, observe a cultural festival, or simply have a private dinner hosted for you.

I can't believe Paradox ripped off of Jagex, smh

As some of you managed to cleverly figure out, there’s also a brand-new regency system where we’ve made sure that it’s both interesting to have and to be a regent. Loyal regents help you by dutifully fulfilling their Mandates, and being the regent of your liege gives you opportunities to (with varying degrees of bloodshed) seize the throne for yourself, should you be doing a “good” job.

👀

[ocean storm]

I'm loving all the fur lined stuff in the yak track btw.

[weary rose]

Cosmetically the last few tracks have really hit what I like

[night stag]

task 60 done

idk why but this track is really workin for me

[ocean storm]

I just want it to be over tbh. I'm pretty mentally done with it.

[ocean storm]

Considering putting one of my banite ore div things from daily spins to work and seeing if that'll make it go any faster.

[dire stratus]

I think my fav tasks are divination and mining

[ocean storm]

div tasks are so free

It's super nice.

[dire stratus]

Mining I just buy half the task worth of stone spirits then hop over to banite

[ocean storm]

I'm just happy to have an excuse to use them

I'm not going to use them otherwise.

[hazy river]

yeah div is hyper free

clues are but theres only like 1 clue task right

[ocean storm]

I never do the daily div skilling loc thing.

Clues are fun, because I tend to keep doing clues for a bit after the task as well

Instead of dropping what I'm doing to move onto the next.

[flint solstice]

you could also do most of the steps of a clue then stop and wait for a task to finish it

[ocean storm]

Eh, I guess? But the fortunate comps are too nice to pass up on getting asap.

[flint solstice]

I just do that kind of stuff for tasks that are S&K tier

like if I'm not doing a task I do things that can prep for later

like the digging portion of arch, or recharging my pitch can for FM tasks later

[ocean storm]

Reminds me I pulled all my skilling dummies out their boxes for the slayer task at 61 and now I'm just filled with regret looking at the agility and thieving tasks coming up.

I absentmindedly clicked take out all

I guess I'm going back to pyramid plunder to hope for a sceptre of the gods/priff elves to hope for the last clan symbol I need for that amulet.

[night stag]

crux eqal knights

[ocean storm]

Or maybe I just kill and skill those?

Ohh, I could do that too

[night stag]

semi afk, 800k xp/hr

[ocean storm]

Okay, wow, that div rock was really not worth it.

Didn't use up any stone spirits, and only got about 7 ores out of it before it died.

[weary rose]

Woodcutting tasks are my least favorite.

[night stag]

Couple hours in the uncharted isles no biggie

[flint solstice]

ones that support yew can be powered through AFK in the elven resource dungeon with a divine spot

otherwise it's bamboo time

[spark anvil]

Yeah they're really badly balanced, the time you spend making and using it is better used just regularly mining

[cunning briar]

it's kind of hard to tell which blueprints I've already made

[night stag]

yes

but also

why you not build them all already

[weary rose]

quest means new building lets go

[cunning briar]

I forgot
