Randomness on Runescape, good day, bad day.
I have written several times about the effects of random drops on Runescape, a recent situation that I have experienced is since I have been killing Dark Beasts I have probably had about 5 or 6 dark Bow drops, I am 99 slayer so I have killed a fair few in my time, over the last week I have had 3 tasks for dark Beasts and during those tasks I have had 5 dark Bows dropped, killing abyssal demons I haven't had a whip for many tasks, such is the randomness of drops.
The situation I noticed today is the good day bad day scenario, not necessary with drops but with general playing, I had Abyssal Demons for slayer I set off with my usual kit, Full Bandos, DFS, Whip, Dragon Boots, Fury, Ring of Wealth, super set and my trusty Bunyip.
I potted up and started killing and what a bad start hitting loads of zero's and very low hits, I mean 5 zero's and a 12, 5 more zero's and a 21 the occasional 40, 42 but very rare mainly zero's and hits below 20, this continued for the majority of the task, bare in mind I had potted up to 118 strength, attack and defence so hits below 20 should be rare, I felt as though I was using a God Sword with all the zero's but I wasn't I was using a whip, I get so bored of such a slow slayer task that I took a break and had some food.
An hour or so later I came back and started to finish the task, another 100 to do and the slaughter continued, but what a difference, hit a zero, hit a 42, hit a 40, hit a 36 hit a 20 and a few low hits but the majority high hits, most hits above 30, what had happened I had completed the 100 remaining monsters faster than the first 70.
This highlighted a situation that I had many times before, good days where everything I hit died, others where everything had a little bit longer to live, very noticeable and very annoying but I am sure just totally random, I am sure its the same as the good drop bad drop day we all have, although I am led to believe some players have bad drop, bad drop days.
Is there a variable that Jagex have installed that will give players a good day or a bad day a good task or a bad task? I doubt it but it does good to have an excuse for a poor days slaying.
Remember the Pages
Remember my post about God pages sky rocketing in price, click here to see I have done several clues recently and have had 2 Zammy a Sara and a Guthix page, so God Pages are back and the price has dropped accordingly, I can only guess they were missed from the Clue drop list and Jagex have been made aware, maybe from my post and been added again, I have also noticed that I am getting less furniture so perhaps furniture was added instead of the pages.
Where have I been
Sorry I haven't written for a while, started a new Job contract and its been keeping me away from Runescape and my blog for a long time, working 11 to 13 hour days, anyway its calmed down now and I should be getting on a bit more, watch this space.
