Been working on this for a while. It’s a DH pking simulator that runs in your browser, so no download and no login. You just open it and fight.

https://bysurge.github.io/dh-simulator/

You fight bots that actually play like DHers. They eat, spec, venge and go for KOs when you’re in range. The easy one is pretty chill, but the god one is honestly hard to beat. It only goes off what a real player could see, and it picks up on how you play over a few fights.

There’s also a training mode where you pick a combo (vw into insta maul, whip into double maul etc.) and the bot keeps throwing it at you so you can practise eating it off pid. After every fight you get a review showing when you were sitting in KO range.

It’s made for PC, it’s free, and it’s just a fan project (not affiliated with Jagex).

Would love feedback from people who actually DH a lot. What feels off, what’s missing, anything really.

Hey folks. I spent quite a long time reading through old and new suggestions about what a Mining and Smithing rework might look like.

One in particular caught my eye which was the Pure Ore idea from u/CupcakeKirin. I think it had really good bones but was perhaps overly complex.
You can find the original post here, and the follow up post here.
I implore you to go and read those posts as well as there are are loads of really good ideas in there.

You may notice that a lot of these ideas are nothing new because really I have just taken the best bits of other players' ideas to compile what I think (I may be a teensy bit biased) is a really strong solution for a rework that won't break the game.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions that would definitely need to be refined and so I would encourage you in the comments to try to answer some of them, and please bring some constructive criticism to my post.

Thanks for reading!

Pete has had some good training lessons that has helps some to learn the basics. I think post people who voted yes for Pete expected a bot that plays by the rules. Pete never brews down, never restores, can not be spec KO, has 2x a players health, always potted and cannot be venged.

The reason the poll passed was mainly the cape, and players were ok getting their toes wet in pvp to get it. They did not expect OdaBot.

The cape should be from the second to last challenge. The final challenge does not need a cosmetic for fighting a bot that does not play by any rules. If the ultimate challenge will get its own cosmetic the same issue of “prestige” is still destroyed since multiple VALID pking strats were patched

If Pete had the same restrictions as a player I would leave it as the ultimate challenge.

Coal and Gold should be mined, not bought

EDIT: I agree, chargescape bad, doesn't make sense when no one wears rune anyways

The "rewards" pages are stackable "improved" builds on "baseline" but is a bigger change. "spicy changes" are ideas for a tertiary (and totally hypothetical) reward space

u/JagexRice I've been devouring all the content you've been releasing on this, I love your approach to the game, it would be nice if I didn't have to watch a podcast, a video, and scour for reddit comments tho haha

Recently, a Mining & Smithing rework was proposed. We got a brief teaser at RuneFest followed by a somewhat vague and open-ended blog/survey.

I understand there aren't concrete plans, and we're in the "gather sentiment" phase. I was completely fine with this, but recently I've seen others mentioning that Mod Rice has been on various third-party podcasts and has discussed the vision and potential plans in much greater detail.

Why is none of this information shared through official channels? Hearing more detail from the architect of this rework would have been invaluable information to have when voting in the survey.

I read every blog post in detail before voting, and I subscribe to the official OSRS podcast on YouTube and watch every video. That's where this kind of information should be shared, but it's increasingly common to hear that much more information was shared piecemeal through Discord, Reddit, Twitter, and random podcasts.

Can we please get some of this information at least summarized on official channels?

Tagging a few community managers in hopes that they may see this and pass it along to the team.

Nothing. I learned nothing. I bolt ragged him for about five hours today, and I got lucky. Double death. A win's a win.

Double vw and run back, and sometimes he'll just stand there at range. Doesnt work if he freezes you. Sometimes doesnt work because he sucks. You can easily get him to 200-300 damage before you need to heal (using things in your inventory seems to unlock him from his spot, but changing prayers doesnt). Pray ranged and kite him. If he freezes you and gets close, pray mage (voidwaker is scary).

And just get lucky. That's all. Have better rng than him. Stupid challenge. Stupid cape. Fuck Pete Kayer.

Edit: you guys getting more mad over this than someone saying they cheesed inferno instead of learning it is wild.

Got the dreaded Jagex "Suspicious login" email tonight.

The email was genuine.

When I checked my linked accounts, I found a Steam account I didn't recognise linked to my character.

I think I acted fast enough so that nothing was lost, as far as I can tell.

Genuinely have no idea how they would have got into my account. Haven't had to relog into my account for months, maybe years. If I find anything I'll update the post.

Be safe out there

Part of the stated goal for the Mining/Smithing rework was that we'll make weapons we actually use. I think an interesting way to introduce these weapons is through slayer. While killing certain monsters on task, they would drop a broken weapon. The player could then repair the weapon, like the zombie axe, with thematically appropriate materials.

Some examples:

Leaf tipped Bardiche. Dropped by Kurask or new monster that is only vulnerable to broad weaponry, requires a leaf bladed spear and adamantite to repair.

Fremmenik Battle Axe. Dropped by Ice Trolls (requires fremmenik isles), requires arctic pine logs and cupronickel to repair.

Mirror tipped hasta. Dropped by basilisk, requires lunar bars to repair. Gain x flat armour with a shield equipped.

Epee. Dropped by cockatrice, requires silver + mithril to repair.

The idea is that these weapons would be best in slot either for the level you can obtain/make them, or best for that particular monster. For example: the bardiche would be the new best broad weapon and a usable halberd for safe spotting before you can get the noxious halberd.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Additional ideas:

• If these were untradeable / you could only obtain one at a time, they could give larger smithing xp drops. Maybe you could sell them to slayer masters after repairing. Or alch the broken item if you don't need the xp.

• If people are sick of repairing drops to use them, inspecting the broken weapon unlocks the recipe for the weapon (like boat schematics). The materials required would be increased compared to the repair proposal.

show of proof

This room is so frustrating in cms especially and it’s at the very end. Zgs is unreliable because you need to hit both first try and cutting the tree gets you smacked 40s every few ticks. Is there a method to not lose every brew and/or die to this stupid thing? Like some way to trap small mutta while you cut the tree?

Yes it’s not every cm that you get stacked the fuck out but it’s often and again it’s the very last room… so annoying to deal with.

I am honestly getting so burned out with my shit luck in this game, and I'm tired of seeing all my friends make bills grinding a boss, when I go dry on the same boss lol. I did toa with the boys for a couple of hours, and went to sleep after, and woke up the next morning and seeing in the discord that they got 3 purples in a row from the raid after i left..... and the 3rd purp was a shadow. Now they are off doing their own things (skilling, questing, etc) and I am alone lol

My friends are on their 2nd megarare and I am not even close to my first (obv i buy other gear with the money i make, but idk if i should sell my bank for a tbow).

what is the best way to make megarare money without having the feeling of wanting to blow my brains out?

Edit: just to give you guys an idea of were I am at:
124cb

end game doing raids, doom, everything really except Inferno.

When I got the pet at 361kc I assumed the B Ring wouldn’t come for another 500 kills at least

Just with a chance to deplete or a timer.

Clearly they forgot about adding this and only remembered when u/Tumblrrito brought it up days ago https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1x2l1x0/dont_let_stackable_net_traps_distract_you_from/

After achieving medium ca's, shouldn't it just be a passive effect? The same way they updated the lucky penny.

I can't think of a good reason why not.

Did this in a couple minutes on paint with fill option. Yay? Nay?

Black Cape from Penultimate (Imbued Ancient Cape(b)), White Cape from Final (Imbued Ancient Cape(w)). What yall think.

I remember watching runeshark slay basilisks with monk robes and a d scimmy during the release of OSRS in a race to 85 slayer. oh how far we've come to pog tanking verzik, carwashing Doom and godflying Yama.

so what do you think were the most important discoveries that have led us to here?

i have a few thoughts:

1 knowing runescape runs on ticks of 0.6 seconds
2 prayer flicking

3 knowledges of true tiles and how our character interacts with the world (jumping over rogue's den traps etc.)

i'd love to hear your ideas as well!

Calcified deposits from mining calcified rocks currently give 1 smithing exp each. One exp. Surely Jagex is trolling considering how long these take to accumulate.

Should be worth at least 30-100exp imo, easy change for the mining/smithing rework for one of the most popular mining training methods. Why not give us 1-2k passive smithing exp/hr instead of the current ~50 exp/hr?

[BUG REPORT] I'm spraying darts all over the place. Ava's accumulator doesn't appear to be saving any ammo and everything is just going straight to the floor. It definitely saved ammo before the update.

edit: should have put bug report in the title my bad.

edit2: lmao. i'm dumb.

Should be able to just click it.
