What has Slov been up to?

When I joined Alora I didn't think I'd enjoy it anymore than any other RSPS. Fortunately that wasn't true and I've had a blast playing in Realism mode and I can say it has been one of the most enjoyable Runescape experiences I've had.

I recommend it to all players if you have the time to invest into it.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Combat Level: 84

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My stats are nothing to shout about but they're a solid enough start for me to continue on my road towards maxing the account. My main goal at the moment is to get all levels to atleast 50. I've held off on Runecrafting right now because I want to make the most of the bonus exp day on the 20th.

Expect to see me mining essence this week!

I'm also planning to do a bunch of Wintertodt on the account to try and unlock the outfit, pet, and ofcourse for the helpful rewards along the way. I feel like its the right time to do it now since my skills are of mediocre level which will provide better drops for my levels in the supply crates.

Dragon Slayer II is also up there on the list but I am going to hold off on that until I have 75+ range. I will be training range while doing Slayer and I'll be spending my next lot of points on a dwarf cannon.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Notable Advancements
 

  • Acquired Full Graceful
  • Acquired Gem Bag, Coal Bag, Prospectors Top
  • Acquired Mage Book and Master Wand
  • Acquired Slayer Helm (i)
  • Acquired Dragon Defender, Fighter Torso, Abyssal Whip and Amulet of Fury
  • 50 Barrows Runs
     

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Top tips for Realism from my perspective?

  1. Find an amazing clan (cough Paragon) and get to know the other Realism players out there, they're an awesome bunch.
  2. Pace yourself and make the most of bonus experience opportunities.
  3. Don't fall into the 'higher combat = easier gameplay mentality'
  4. Utilise minigames and their rewards
  5. Have fun with it! You'll find the milestone jumps much more rewarding.



#388741 Molch Pearls? Forget it.

Posted by Slov on 10 February 2021 - 12:17 AM

So this minigame has always been a point of conversation in terms of pearls, xp, etc...

 

As for some one who has collected enough pearls for the full outfit + pearl barbarian rod i can definitely say it was never a easy process. I definitely didn't do it for the xp gained during the minigame but for the rewards. I don't think i would have gotten through with it if i didn't watch countless movies during this tedious process.

 

 

 

 

If you use a knife on the fish u catch u gain cooking xp and more fishing bait, don't need to keep picking up king worms.

 

 

I know this minigame has gotten buffed once in the past due to request/complaints, but even then i still think the process of obtaining enough pearls for the reward goal is far too slow. I personally don't have much input or ideas of how to improve but this is what ive gathered from my time there.

Oh OK, that tip about the fish and cooking exp somewhat sweetens the pot. I can justify spending the time here for 3 skills levelling but it's still extremely slow and heavily RNG based compared to something like Motherlode which has somewhat of an average.

I'm not sure what to suggest for changes either since I only have experience on one game mode so I don't know how changes would effect others, but regardless, it's a slow process 100%.


Angler hat - 50
Angler Top - 60
Angler Legs - 45
Angler Boots - 30

Pearl Fishing Rod - 50
Pearl Fly Fishing Rod - 75
Pearl Barbarian Rod - 100

Fish Sack - 400


Possible change to the pearl amounts - rewards.

Aerial fishing is such a great activity in the game but it's just not worth doing. The rewards for the pearls are set at a ridiculously high value. 1,000 pearls for a fish sack? Alright Alry, put down the pipe.

It would be great if the rewards in-game would better reflect the drop chances for the pearls. The intensity of the activity (picking up worms, clicking moving tiles, dropping fish) far outweighs the time needed to unlock everything. Especially considering that we don't have the fishing trawler minigame to unlock the Angler Outfit.



PROS

Hunter and Fishing EXP gained for doing the activity (not massive gains but sufficient if there was an attainable end goal)
It's somewhat fun
Chillin on an island is dope

CONS

The rewards are seriously over priced, not even by a little
Click intensive
Can't cook the fish for cooking exp

Your application has been Declined. Feel free to hang around the discord/CC until you meet the requirements! <3

 

If you have an account that meets the requirements, apply with that one please.

All good! I'll definitely stick around in the CC. I don't plan to make another account so I'll just aim for the requirements on Slov.

Hello Forum Lurkers, I have eventually got round to logging in. It turns out that it doesn't matter about my recovery email being invalid.

I'm loving the server so far and very glad that I chose to play the Realism gamemode. I've found an amazing clan called Paragon which has some top notch folk in it (recommended by Vikings) and I've bumped into other friendly players while training skills. All in all, A+ Tier community.

Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you for all of the quality content within the forums.

Peace, stay safe B)
