  1. EDIT: Update Time!

    May 10th - May 16th, 2021

     

    The grind towards max and beyond continues. Skilling contracts, Slayer tasks while waiting for farming stuff to grow, and the occasional Reaper in between to get me started.

    Three notable things have happened this week:

     

    - The First Boss Pet

    Killcount: 47

    - The First 99

    And lastly, but arguable the most imporant one:

    Elder Rune (+5) has been unlocked and has been made!

  2. A new Ataraxia, a new account, a new blog to maintain!

     

    I'm sticking with my old (albeit incredibly outdated) blog for the sake of nostalgia, as well as the ability to cling on to seeing some old names that are no longer with us.

     

    The baseline has been edited into the very first post in this thread, and I'll be updating it along the way!

     

  3. James,

     

    The day all RSPS players realize will happen at some point, but never want to witness.

    This decision is a prime example of the dedication you have towards Ataraxia, as well as an insanely large set of balls, considering the consequences of this decision. I respect that, a lot.

    I've always thoroughly enjoyed Ataraxia (and it's predecessors), albeit with breaks here and there, but I fully understand the reasons for doing this. And while it is undeniably better for the server as a whole, the relaunch of Ataraxia will be a different Ataraxia, atleast to me it will feel that way. The amount of hours that I've put into my account(s), especially my recently exp-capped Ironman, is something that will be lost. Spending my time on Ataraxia is something I most definitely do not regret, yet it is something that I quite simply do not see myself doing again. Maybe that mindset will change in the future, who knows. For now though, that is how I feel about it. I might be the only one, but oh well.

    I might hop on every now and then after the relaunch, and I wish Ataraxia the very best. Go get that top spot!

  4. Great guide, Love the use of clear pictures and colour. Especially helpful for newer players looking to improve their gear, and/or to make some money on the side.

    My suggestion would be to include (an estimation of) the prices that players can expect from certain items. Whether it be from the General Store, or prices frequently offered by other players.

     

    Also, two small remarks:

    - Be aware that Verac's armour set enables him to hit through your prayer. Therefore, it is recommended to bring some pieces of food in case you get knocked down to low health. Pointing at you, Hardcore Ironmen, in particular.

    - For those looking to get themselves a corrupted sigil, the t70 defender upgrade, one must either have a dragon defender equipped or in their inventory. The droprate for the corrupted sigil slightly improves with every brother killed. roughly 1/70 with no brothers slain, 1/55 with all 6 brothers slain. I'm not entirely sure if this increases even further with Akrisae and Linza

    Wait a minute, ironmans recieve now daily spins, I logged in and had 6 spin,  does that mean Master members gets 6 spins a day?

    Btw great update and bug fixes, finally we got new lms games more nerfed hybrid version, also can we upgrade degraded version of decimation? 

    Thanks for the effort you put in these updates guys.

    Can't wait to see New update soon.

    You can use the Imbued Gear, which has been reduced from 15k to 10k chimes, to upgrade your decimation!

  6. Time for some February updates!

     

    February 1st: Bernie, the Firemaking pet, at 5288 Actions! Just casually started my daily and poof, there he was

    February 3rd: Another Mysery Box pet obtained! My (and probably a lot of others too) favourite mbox pet, Zenn!

    February 7th, a good day. I have started my hunt for the ascension signets, hoping to get all necessary pieces before the end of the month.

    I wasn't yet greeted with the signet yet, but this is even better! The second boss pet on the account! And a couple kills later, 5 billion total exp!

    February 11th: By now, I have obtained all 6 signets. I didn't screenshot them, as I wanted to refrain from putting in 7 screenshots (signets plus limbs) all in here. But I did manage to get my ascension crossbow today!

  7. Balancing the combat triangle is a very difficult and delicate thing, especially with the server having RS3 weaponry and armour sets without the EOC that these armours were originally designed for by their first creators. It's a process of finetuning various things, a process that inevitably contains some mistakes along the way.

    While the development of the balancing is on the right track, I do believe that this patch contains some flaws.

  8. Welcome to Ataraxia!

    As E36 already mentioned, you picked the most unfortunate time to join the server. We haven't had a sudden downtime like this in forever.

    Right now, we've got to wait for a restart, which hopefully shouldn't take too long.

  9. Thank you for the majority of this update. the QOL, Mole and the combat triangle balancing are very, very nice. However...

    I cannot say thank you for certain elements of this patch:

    The T87 weapons no longer being repairable: These weapons have gone from completely non-degradable, to completely degrading to dust in a months time, why did you choose for this, rather than leaving them repairable? Did someone watch Avengers: Infinity War again and were they inspired by Thanos's finger snap?

    Many people had only just begun to use their T87 weapons and have them in the 20, 30 and 40% charged range. Are you telling these people now that their plan of repairing it is now worthless?

    Revert this, and just make the repair costs higher. I'm terribly sorry, but absolutely nobody wanted this.

     

    The removal of GWD1, Ganodermic and Various slayer drops from being chimeable. Your reasoning is that way too many people camp gano's for a couple days. I get that, so the change for Ganodermic armoury is understandable.

    But why remove Slayer drops and the GWD1 items? The Slayer drops aren't that common, they're a nice added bonus for newer players doing slayer. It creates a market for these items as they have a chime value. Slayer used to be a viable source of income for newer players, before moving on to bossing. With removing the market for chimable slayer drops, and lowering the scale drop drastically, I believe this distorts the line of progression players go through in an unreasonable way.

    GWD1 items are common, yes. That's due to how easy it is to obtain with the donator instances. There's other ways to change their influence, i.e. lowering drop rates while in aforementioned instances, or lower their chime value.

     

    TL;DR. This update is mostly great, but two elements are way too drastic, and I personally do not see the level of support that would make me sit back and just accept the change. I get the whole idea of creating an item sink, but these changes shoot right past their target.

  10. Something so small in terms of content, yet something so important for so many players out there.

    Great guide! You've requested feedback as this is your first written guide and all I can say is.. Make more of these!

    Nicely organized, coloured highlights, pictures.. What more can one ask for?

    Looks good man, keep up the good work. That pet grind's going to take a while ?

    It sure will! But I love working towards such goals, even at a slow rate!

    I have a spreadsheet for recording the boss drops you get on your way to 100% - happy to discord you it if you want ?

    It's a goal I am working towards too.

    I'll very gladly accept that offer! I was working on one myself but.. No need to continue that one I guess!

    Thanks lads
