@@sleepydeki Thanks! I think this might be my first pin. I've taken some time to think about how much I'm enjoying the game, and this is what sticks out the most for me: I love how Brighter Shores handles Skilling. Since everything is pretty close in terms of xp gained, even if you're chopping a tree five levels lower than your current max, it makes grinding much more fun for my ADHD-addled, "ooh, shiny!" playstyle. It feels like Runescape did back in 2007, and it looks like I'm never gonna be at a point where I need to spend five minutes teleporting and running to a remote island just to chop down maple trees so I can train Fletching for "only" three hours instead of the thirteen it'd take with oak. Getting 800 maple logs was a pain as a f2p, and it took me a month because I kept getting sick of it after a few trips, and end up mining or trying to fight green dragons or something. So Brighter Shores already has _that_ as a plus over RuneScape, though it loses a point for having bad initials. "This game is RS" sounds way better than saying "This game is BS."
Nice overview :) took me a while to come to terms with the fact that dying had no real penalty, although I guess having to walk back is somewhat annoying - Kay
There is currently not enough armor banking slots to consider the elemental features at the moment. They need to increase the inventory space because there is enough for maybe 2 sets maxed per episode. Not much to play with.
I'd like there to be a preset you could make as well, so you don't have to fiddle with each piece of equipment at a time. Make my Ice, Nature and Lightning armor sets and then switch between them as well as updating them as I go along. Outside of combat obviously.
You're looking at it the wrong way i believe. Get a Complete Set of armour. 8 slots. Now that leaves 8 slots for weapons of that area. That's 4 Melee, and 4 Ranged items per area. You could even go 6 and 2 if that's what you want, etc etc. That seems like plenty of space. When pvp comes, it'll have its own quartermaster slots as well + the new areas to come will have their own slots. 16 is GENEROUS. any more is just catering to bad management skills.
I just fight things 4 levels below me usually works out pretty well for grinding mobs, weapon speed seems to be pretty important so far. I feel like the combat is designed around us having special attacks in the future so it feels a little tough without them. Anything your level no matter the gear seems like a 50/50 fight.
I don't understand how to know what level mobs I should be killing and why does my damage never seem to change even when im using high level weapons. I wish I could understand why I'm 22 guard and a level 16 bird can have my lunch money.
My feelycraft is that gear increases damage and defence not level. Try grinding lower mobs, as your deflection % for Necromae damage may not be high enough to get your lunch money back from birds
You're a bit a noob understandably. Your high level gear is not as "high level" as you think. It needs to be your level + have high rarity to be good at your level. And, if it's anything like Runescape, gear stats matter more the higher combat level you have. I definitely feel a difference when getting upgrades. Also look at mob weaknesses and what they attack with to pick better gear.
@@sleepydeki im level 24 i have an epic helm and everything else is legendary besides my chest piece but its low level legendary. like level 5-8 the epic helm is level 16 legendary
Vipers are easy. You can safe-spot by standing on them, lmao. Just let your health auto-regen and step off to stab 'em again.
@@SuperiorPosterior I’m too lazy to do this, but great point! You’ve earned yourself a pin 📌

Never considered attack speed like that but I absolutely should, appreciate the tip!

Attack speed appears as the cycle flash on the weapon used.
Shields are always active. Shield with 1h is only decorative. It's a WILD decision.
W H A T
Shield while using a 2h?😂 theyve made so many nonsensical decisions
So my 1h are weaker and attack slower than my 2h and doesn't even give bonus defense stats?
That can't be a design decision...?! What would be the point of having 1H & 2H in the game? - Kay

1000% agree, this is such a based take

Great vid!
I forgot to mention this but - USE YOUR HEALTH POTS (the 10% ones are dogshit, but the 20% ones are worth using) :)
I've noticed that after using a potion, use your weapon again to save time instead of allowing auto retaliate to activate.

Yep that's pretty much what I've been doing too! Thanks for watching :)
My question is how does the impact translate to the element. Like itll say 40 impact and 50% fire. Does that mean 50% of the 40 is fire?
I believe the % is the chance to hit with the element
