I'm just going by what the wiki says, and there are several monsters in the quest
series
. Obviously you know better than me as you've done it and I have not. If it's just the one monster then I suppose there'll be no issue in completing this quest series.

I just want to know if I have to. It's not clear to me at all.

Even if you count Desperate Times, you only need to be like 30 combat to kill the 5 level 50 mobs.

It doesn't matter what level you need to be. My point is that if you're limiting yourself to zero combat, this could be a level 10 opponent or a level 10,000 opponent - it wouldn't make any difference.

If this is your point, then you really should not be making this thread specifically about Desperate Measures and the Orthen Digsites. The fact is there is hardly any combat required for Desperate Measures - just 1 level 140 mob that combat 75 players or even lower can kill, which is highly likely not required, but is helpful to get to some content in the Orthen Digsites.

That is merely a follow up point to your rebuffs.

Like I've said many times, I am here to find out if the quest series is necessary for this digsite.

I have also already said that whilst having a combat requirement will be annoying and prevent some people from accessing the content if they don't have workarounds, it's only an issue if we're told it's not required but in reality it is required for something meaningful. Right now, only Jagex knows.

Your "follow up point" doesn't pertain to the situation in this thread you put up at all.

I believe Jagex has made it extremely clear there is no combat requirements even for Desperate Measures, hence no combat requirements for Orthen Digsite even IF (a big IF) Desperate Measures is needed.

There are plenty of skilling content with aggressive mobs around and hence combat is recommended but not needed too (e.g. Living Rock Cavern where not just one but multiple mobs can attack the skillers simultaneoulsy) but why aren't people calling them "annoying"? And who do some people always ask to add more mobs like roaming revenants in the wildy to "annoy" skilers?

RS3 used to have even more "annoying" random events with mobs attacking the skillers but thankfully they removed these annoyance since it is not the heavily bot infested game which needs this kind of "annoying" features to the skillers. :)

Given that the wiki says "
Ability to defeat five level 50 opponents
" to complete Desperate Times, and there's a
level 91 Black Stone Dragon
to defeat in Desperate Measures, I think it's safe to assume that combat is a requirement to complete these quests - unless you use a death touched dart or six.

This is one of the reasons I have not started these quests yet. I simply do not want the combat experience.

Now Orthen digsite is coming and Desperate Measures has been mentioned as a "soft" requirement. I'm here to ask what this "soft" requirement means exactly.

I am not here to complain about the potential combat requirement.

I hope this clarifies why I've said the stuff I have.

Numerous skilling spots are locked behind combat content and quests that require combat. So?

Hiscores show you have no problems maxing all the combat skills already. :)

I've already said exactly that.

I'm not a pure skiller, but I have avoided combat for over twelve years now. This is the challenge I put on myself. I am far from max combat.

Let me reiterate. If combat is a requirement, then that's not a problem - I'll just have to find some way around it or not do the content at all. I just wish to know now rather than be let down on release day.

What's your point Dilbert?

I'm here asking a question as it pertains to how I play this game - just like every other person who asks a question here.

Does it apply to every player? No.

Will others players be in a similar position as I? Perhaps. I can't speak for them but I'm sure there is at least one other skiller out there.
