RuneScape

I've made 12m exp so far this DXP.

That's woefully little, mind, and puts me nowhere near my goal of 120 Archaeology, but still. Gains and all.

Anyway. Archy is pretty good! And the Mining/Smithing rework was fantastic, really brought out the community in people.

 

[Xhukari]

Never got to Archeology when I was playing; was too busy getting my meagre levels up! :haha:
I like and dislike the rework; the mining side is great. But I can't get away from how Smithing now just feels slower. Used to just need 3 taps with the hammer to make a Platebody... it's a lot more than that now...

 

[Ellie]

Yeah smithing kinda takes too long. Can tell, I have 13m exp in smithing, level 99, but mining I've gone over by 2 mil as it's fun.

 

[Ellie]

I have three hours of DXP left and I don't wanna waste them!

Damnit this is why I always shadowquit after DXP weekends.

Temporary content = imposition of a threshhold, and once I cross a threshhold I get distracted

(Actually I think my whole life has revolved around threshholds).

 

[Ellie]

So I thought Archy was costing me a fortune this DXP - I've spent 47 million gp on it. But then I remembered Chronanotes, of which I now have 72.5 million worth, and my material bank has like 1,000 of each one, that's probably another 50m in my material bank. Crazy skill.

 

[Ellie]

Came 20th in my clan on DXP weekend ;p

21,452,881 exp gained over the 48 hours you get.

 

[Xhukari]

That sounds like a crap ton of XP! How are you just 20th???
Have you seen this League stuff over at OSRS? Looks interesting, not going to lie!

 

[Ellie]

The winner for 96 million exp, crazy.

 

[Ellie]

Oh, I maxed, by the way.

 

[Spoo]

I need to give OSRS a proper go. I still have my RS3 character and I enjoy that game from time to time but it is definitely easier to level skills.

 

[Ellie]

Not far from a whip, go go go

 

[Spoo]

Oh shit you're right. I gotta get back to it at some point. Maybe raise that shameful herblore skill while I'm at it.

 

[Xhukari]

Not that I get far, but I can only enjoy Runescape as an Ironman these days D:
Doesn't help that I like making new accounts...

 

[Spoo]

Ironman is how I play most MMOs nowadays. At least as far as gear goes. I've gotten all of my crafting classes on FF14 to at least 60 and I have barely spent a gil. Every time I run into a component for a recipe that has to be made by another class I just switch to that one and grind it out instead. It's super satisfying.

 

[Xhukari]

Yeah that sounds great! Big issue with modern MMOs is that sense of satisfaction is kinda gone... Ironman is good way to add it back in.
Could never get into FF14 though, tried a couple of times. I love the Lalafell though! Their emotes are hilarious, they're cute and we're about the same height! :D

 

[Ellie]

Oh I am TERRIBLE at making new accounts, my GW2 account is full of characters. I did get 100% completion on one of them though.

 

[Xhukari]

I did get 100% completion on one of them though.

Did you mean the World Exploration thing? With the Vistas, Hearts, etc? That stuff was hella fun!

 

[Ellie]

Yeah, every single damned node.

 

[Ellie]

So big topic in the Discord at the moment is that a bunch of us are getting back into RS.

Personally I am starting a new noob account and just casually chipping away at it.

 

[Xhukari]

Got me hungry for chips now, lol. RuneScape can be fun if you can split your attention with something else too. I mostly play the Old School variant. Though since Membership counts for OSRS and RS3, it lets me dip my toe into RS£ occasionally. OS is slooooow though.
