The last part, umm.... no. Also that sounds like something of potentially a "lure". I can't say that I'm interested in that. :P

Back on the Menaphos discussion though, I guess having an informal race to max reputation (1.2m rep spread across 4 factions), and completion of the Jewels of the Elide, Cats of Menaphos, well that could work, hehe.


As if I would lure you. My feelings are deeply hurt.

By the way we are considering changing the name of the clan to "Heinous lying scumbag Criminals"

Anyway, I am confident you would win that race. I tried getting a jewel from some npc on the south dock. Two sessions of one hour of spam clicking later I gave up. I find my willingness to pursue Trim in the face of such rng to be waning. For the meantime I think I will just content myself with finishing the reqs I have already started.

I honestly wouldn't full on grind Menaphos when you can do soul obelisks and complete the t10 district requirement, when you can do daily soul obelisks and complete it along side some other time gated stuff (such as fish flingers [debatable] or statues)


That's a good point, plus you want to leave some space for the rep you gain from the various other reqs such as Tombs IV.

However my main concern would be to gather at least most of the rep required for t10 districts through doing the obbies, the reason being that I see this activity becoming progressively more difficult as time goes on. Once people attain their goals they are highly unlikely do this activity again, reducing the number of people hopping and scouting. Although still not a major problem I am already beginning to see a reduction of world/location calls in the fc's and longer periods of idle time between active obbies. I imagine that in a few months finding an active obby will be much more inefficient than it is now.
I failed to keep my New Year's resolution before I even made it.

Oh so you concede to the race to trimming? Also keep in mind that I still have some annoying reqs, most likely champion scrolls, kalgerion titles, and of course who could forget the dreadful task of obtaining souls for the slayer codex. :(

Nice name and thanks! :)

The slayer codex..... I am sure I am not alone in thinking, when they were about to release 120 slayer, "Ha! I will just dark beast my way to 120, lololol."

So much for that plan. Ah, should have guessed they wouldn't make it simple.

My approach to the codex is fairly passive. Started first with every slayer mask I had, then when I had an Ushi on every mask, I sorted the wiki list from lowest slayer xp beast to highest. I then worked my way up the list, filling ushi mainly off task, and occasionally reordering the order of that list to fill ushi's that had beasts within a specific area. Thank Guthix for the sort function on the wiki!

I'm up to just under 100 ushi now and not looking forward to hunting the higher level ones. Not only because of the cost in slayer points but also because I have heard that people have had rotten rng in trying to fill the higher level mobs. Like going thousands of kill dry.

Yeah shame that Ushabtiu are annoying to obtain (costs 20 slayer reward points) and having lost 3 already due to the *cough* Lava Strykewyrms *cough*, it sucks having to slay many more just to get the amount needed to finish the codex. :( I also don't plan on getting 200M slayer xp (if it happens that's cool, but not actively chasing it myself), which is going to take quite a bit of time as I have other trim goals to attend to.

Also some of the higher slayer mobs are just tedious to kill so I agree with you there. Rotten RNG doesn't help either. :(

Hm, I will consider that. :) However, I need to remember that I wouldn't be able to use any abilities, so there is that to keep in mind. I just need to keep my HP up and avoid the deadly special attacks. But overall, this seems like it may work. :)

You can afk them up until the do the ground attack. I just move out of the way when that happens. I even use less food lol shocking how generous legacy is xd.

Hmm.. Legacy you say. Oh yeah, I suppose that makes sense. I guess there are quite a few skillers doing that. Alone. In da wildee. In legacy. Under the impression that they are safe.

*drools*

You know, it may have been a bad move to mention that in a public forum. Ya just never know when then may be a vile pker lurking, listening in, ready to take advantage of such a tip, to use it to his own evil advantage.

*whistles nonchalantly*

Now in other news... I have managed to navigate my way to the tasks list for Menaphos. I was stunned to learn of this one.

Slay Bells Ring V: Slay a combination of 10000 corrupted or devourer creatures.

It. Just. Keeps. Getting. Worse.

Seriously I dont get it. How long would would it take for a new player to get to this, let alone complete the other requirements? Those already comped may hail these requirements, but I just see these requirements putting most people off.

Yeah, I don't think it might be a good idea to be too public about the wildy here. :P Maybe I'll change my plans for the lava strykewyrms or be somewhat shifty about it. After all, those pkers and pkers in general are pretty smart when it comes to these things and they KNOW where their prey will be and when they will be.

In regards to the Menaphos requirements and just additional requirements in general. Yeah they are quite daunting. :@ People who start from scratch (level 3 account) only have a longer road until they get Max, MQC, Comp, and eventually Trim. While it's true that things are much faster nowadays, the sheer amount of reqs is no good to chase. This is why there should be things to shorten the old reqs but at the same time not too much as that would anger the earlier compers and trimmers who have been through the grind/rng. The veteran compers and trimmers will be upset because they feel like their achievements have been devalued, so a good solution would be to strike a balance between nerfing too much and being too excessive.

A good example would be like if there was a req that took 20 hours to complete, maybe that would later take about 15 hours (due to improvements), which means it is still substantial, but not overly excessive as there are new reqs that will take a good 10+ hours to complete, thus evening things out. Of course, nothing would be exactly perfect, but having mitigation like this makes things fairer since new compers and trimmers would have additional reqs that the old compers and trimmers didn't have to do (unless the veterans are maintaining their cape then that's different).
