Does drop booster affect raids? I thought only raids booster would affect that

 

 

And how does it affect raids and how do raid boosters work , do they increase the cap since u get often capped without the booster?

Raid Boosters - They simply increase the amount of points you get through various actions in Chambers of Xeric.

E.g If you gain 50 points for dumping 1 cavern grub in the thieving room, the points received will increase to 67.5(+35% boost). 

This booster is very useful if you struggle to reach 8,000 points in Chambers of Xeric.

So to answer your question @Bigboxbob , no it doesn't increase the cap, but simply increases the amount of points gained.

 

Drop Boosters - I don't really know myself, but if I had to take a guess, I assume it simply increases the chance of getting a purple.

E.g If you take the 1 purple per 150,000 points I mentioned in my previous reply; If you complete a raid with the drop boost active, it will increase to 1 purple every 127,500 points(+15%).

Well that only added more mystery to the rates since mods and admins keep saying 8k is cap but in the video he clearly says that a 10k pointer has higher chance than the 7k ones. I mean we would have to know at least something about the points and how it affects the rate.

There are alot of opinions going around but some facts would be nice.

From what I recall, in a solo anything past 8,000 points doesn't impact the chance of a purple. The limit goes up based on group size, although I don't know the exact numbers. For example, if you're in a duo, the limit might be 9,000 points, in a 5-scale it might be 11,000 points and so on.

If you're wondering why there's a cap on points in the first place, I believe the limit was set because you used to be able to abuse a bug to gather large amounts of points and get like 7 purples in 1 raid(but don't quote me on this). 

 

As for the drop rate, only Omicron can confirm it, but if I had to guess then the drop rate with no donator rank/any boosts is like 1 purple every 150k points. On my ironman I was getting a purple every 10 raids while getting 8,000 points in solo's, having master donator rank, using both raid/drop boosters, and doing it during the Chambers of Xeric 1.2x boost.

On my main I was getting a purple every 5.5 raids with the same boosts as above, so it's hard to tell.

as much as its an eco cleaner for items leaving the game to deaths and mishaps, i actually returned to the server afking and died losing about 250m worth of gear as i was starting off again.

it actually was such a wake up call that if i hadnt played the server prior i would of pulled the 'cbf n quit' mindset.. so nowadays im all for the customer experience and losing items to stupid shit is just too punishing. it also deters people from experiencing new content in fear of going backward and causes boredom(stagnation)


support from me.

The suggestion is a bit different from what you're thinking. 

This suggestion, if accepted will mean that any items you receive as a drop inside instances(e.g cerberus, kraken, etc) will stay on the floor for up to an hour. This will also allow you to drop items on the ground for an hour too(e.g inside inferno if you want to drop brews for some space).

 

I support this suggestion. It will make bossing less stressful by not making us constantly juggle food and loot.

Thanks for the guide, will be useful for me to look back at this once I decide to grind this boss. Good work!

It would be great to get the Aussies involved with events, but the big issue is that all of us admins are from EU. Can't really force an admin to host events at like 2am or later. Perhaps we could turn on some boosts at night, what do you guys think about that? If so, what is an ideal server time for that?

Would be a fun plugin to have as long as it works correctly. 

Support.

First of all, sorry about the recent bot spam. We've been taking care of it as fast as we can, sometimes with the help of reports from you guys if none of us are around.

 

In regards to the issue, we've had to disable a forum feature that would usually filter these bots, but it resulted in many players not being able to access forums for a while. We're currently working on a solution, but for now we'll manually ban them(not like Forum mods have much to do on forums anyways ).

 

Thanks for your patience :) 

 

ps: Although some of the links look tempting to click (essay help, dating, coaching, etc), you're highly recommended to not click any of them.

Your suggestion has been accepted.

I think it's fine as is. Not a fan of changing level requirements. The closer we are to OSRS the better.

Been quite fun so far. Something I found annoying so far is how long it takes for us to teleport using the Obelisk at home. Would be nice if it was faster. 

The issue with that is, I believe it would have to be a private section available only to you, which would work in the same way the bug report section works, meaning people wouldn't be able to see answers to suggestions. The only other alternative I could think of is to duplicate the thread, but I believe that's not possible. 

 

Personally I don't think it's something that is necessary, so I'll say no support.

Decided to re-visit this thread and draft a quick concept of what it would look like in-game. The icon is the one we use for Veteran's on Discord(you may have seen it used in various RSPS communities as well.).

 

Note that this is just a draft, it would potentially have to be cleaned up / resized etc.

 

 

Here's a grey version to resemble the colour scheme of our current Veteran rank.

Makes sense to add, would help newer players figure out what boosts are on.

Support!
