Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) So i have played about a bit more, with a different skill instead. At 50 skill dead on, 61.56 ql item never gave double ticks. At the other extreme, a 70ql item also never gave double ticks. A 65ql, however, seems to work fine. So there is a range - it's not just "above the sweet spot point". I am assuming it's a small range of a few ql, but don't know. Is there a precise formula for the actual range rather than just the "above this point" spot?

The exact equation iirc is anything above 0.76953*skill + 23.047 - was your action timer the same? It works by doubling your timer up to a max of 30, so if it was over 15 seconds then it wont work as well for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2023 If i am grinding shields in pen training, how do i defocus the mobs? My mobs stay at 4 focus for days and days which makes it hard to shield train on them (they hit hard). Also from 1-70 i should hunt to get the shield skills instead of pen training? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really hard, and does not take too long, tedious though. I'm trying that and for the love of Vynora not a single wound is neck, am i doing something wrong, should alt be armoured, not armoured, specific shaft ql? where is even neck wound shown? All i get are bunch of light body wounds Edit: I actually see hits to the neck, but no wound [17:13:55] You maul Bloodraven lightly in the neck and irritate it.

Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Small wounds will heal too easily and won't affect channeling difficulty much. Depending on skill you might want a 30-40dmg wound, for example - one that is "bad" but treated just enough so it won't get worse/better. Alternative is to make a bigger wound and have a fo priest cure light occasionally to keep it in the right range Edited October 20, 2023 by Derp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 18 Quote Body Strength - Woodcutting to 40(will give 2x strength 1x stam ticks when using a hatchet, but hard to use this effectively past 40), mining/digging from there Does this mean Woodcutting is the best skill up to 40 Body Strength or that WC is the best skill until 40 Woodcutting?

Posted February 14 18 minutes ago, Asciana said: Is it possible to use alcohol to increase the difficulty of woodcutting? I don't know about kindlings and how effective it can be if it works. I tried it a few times with logs, it gave me the impression that my skill ticks frequency increased but in 3 tests I did creating 100 log piles, the result was the same, no benefit.

Posted February 15 (edited) 13 hours ago, Asciana said: Is it possible to use alcohol to increase the difficulty of woodcutting? No, to the best of my knowledge. I tried when chopping logs, and did not observe the frequency of ticks increasing when drunk. Only, ql of chopped logs deteriorated even more than already due to the low ql of the skiller tool. I am not sure about the reason. Maybe woodcutting is excluded like channeling. And I am fine with. Drunkenness is not a good way to help grinding.
