You SHOULDN'T BUY These Items! - BIG GP Wastes!

[@benlunaris]

Worth mentioning spring cleaner is 7m atm to upgrade from to maxed out version and 181m to fully charge with springs which lasts an insanely long time (even camping alchables from gwd1-2 mob groups)...Pretty sure the only reason golden touch and unsullied are so expensive is because the sparks are also used for Limitless codexes

[@wiseoldowl1628]

What?

[@GamingTechReview]

I put 100k charges and they are at 80k and it’s been two years since.

[@Unyion]

I have the golden touch ability and it’s actually insanely useful. I usually use it when I kill men in lumby or various imps that I see around the world. Sometimes rats/cows too

[@longhairasian2902]

I think you've mistakened it to, "I get golden touched".

[@jjwilson444]

Golden touch was the stupidest purchase I ever made. I got it because some dumbass on YT said it was good. Needless to say it practically pays out nothing and just deletes rare drops completely giving 0 gp.

[@chrystone1]

lmao insanely useful with killing men in lumby...ya very useful

[@NovaTogepi]

Golden touch is also part of a achievement unlocking all abilities and with comp and trim recs changing all the time

[@swedishboomstick3362]

Cries in Cheese & Tomato Batta becasue I do not have a luck of the dwarves.

[@fipstre]

Love the new edit with items rotating in the corner!

Took me hours more to edit this video : ) glad you like it lol

[@TrueProdigys]

@@InitYeah great touch

[@Dr.FunkMd-RS]

​@@InitYeahhow did you manage that, its kinda cool lol

[@Runeknight101]

I have gotten a lot of use from my LotD with skilling and slayer and the Keldagrim tele is pretty convenient with an invention desk and bank within a few steps. I'd say maybe the questionable part would be turning it into the Archeology passive or using the facet enchant with it.

[@Whaaa_]

And while skilling is one of the points he brought up, it's definitely a use case item. But from a PVM perspective it is absolutely a huge waste early on.

[@bigbrisk8423]

Yes no facet and don't make the relic, the ring can shine and you get 2x drops the relic cannot shine and give 2x drops, it kept shining when I was doing hermod and instead of 1 hermodic plate I was getting 2, I made the relic a few days deep and I no longer get 2x drops

[@LysdexicGamer]

Luck of the dwarves doesn't have a chance of doubling drops

[@bigbrisk8423]

@@LysdexicGamer lmfao it does and you'd know that if you've used it at all, the ring can shine brightly bro and sinc ei turned it into the relic it dosent shine because it's not a ring. When the your ring shines message pops up it gave me 2 hermodic plates instead of 1 every time, with the relic power I do not get 2x hermodic plate drops. Don't believe me that'd fine but just know you are wrong lmfao. Easily testable too. You just gotta buy the ring my guy

[@Pseudologion]

​@bigbrisk8423 You might wanna check it yourself. It could be that hermodic plates have a much lesser chance of dropping 2 (not mentioned on wiki) but lotd certainly doesn't double drops.

[@gavingraham6139]

An even cheaper option for the cywir offhand is an attuened crystal orb, also t80, and for ironmen theres seasingers, which is actually t85 damage (t88 when upgraded)

[@mistahl5350]

While you aren't wrong, the other thing to keep in mind is that going for the seasinger's stuff means working on player owned ports, which takes a long time to get access to the upgraded ports weapons, let alone actually making them. Please note: I'm not trying dissuade anyone from going after the Ports Weapons, they're really good for how little gp you actually invest into them, and are totally worth the wait (not the darts though, sadly).

[@gavingraham6139]

I completely agree, as a poor pvmer i use the main hand seasinger but havent had the mission to get the item for my offhand yet. But t88 for just time seemed a lot cheaper than 700m for t90

[@cuttlefish6839]

​@@gavingraham6139my only issue for an ironman getting them is 90 div, 90 dung, and 90 agility like gross. Other than that they are very nice.

[@raidbugspray]

i been gone for years this video makes me very happy to know ive made a fortune.

[@Emil.torsti]

Except money has absolutely lost its value, 100m nowadays feels like 100k

[@DiabeticGameGuy]

Great video. The only item on the list I have is the luck of the dwarves. I'm ok with that one as i spend so much time doing archaelogy. :)

[@trex5119]

Not really on the topic of this video, but something I haven't seen you talk about and people might not know about is that you can adjust the anti=spam timing between your double surge and double escape uses at the lectern in anacrondia

[@zeldapro18]

LOTD, 100% worth for clues and for skilling with GotE. Everything else it can wait a while.

[@SanctusFlame]

To go along with what i commented on one of your recent videos- Drygores aren't worth buying. Just buy the t85 Dark ice shard+ dark ice sliver. They have t88 damage despite being t85, and give access to the hurricane ability on dual wield which is a pretty great buff to your dps.

[@IIxIxIv]

Kind of a moot point when drygores (40m) are cheaper than the dark ice weapons (49m)

[@sethc2241]

i got my drygores for like 30m total lol, cheaper than dark ice by a good amount

[@crazywolf3102]

The ability books you mentioned used to be sigils and were part of the sigil slot release in 2017. Sometime in 2019 Jagex removed the sigil slot and transformed the sigils into ability codex.

[@MDHilgersom]

A, he knows. B, doesn't make them more usefull

[@thedigitallocker1638]

A, this is probably for those that didn't know. B, it doesn't, but you sure as heck know more now@@MDHilgersom

[@McConaslay]

ive gotten 3 dark onyx cored this week. made all of them into grace and sold them.

[@johnmorgan7911]

So I have both the unsullied and golden touch codex. The golden touch is nice to use when you are killing dragons that drop a couple unnoted bars and such. Right now using notes on the stuff not really profitable compared to the price of the bars vs the notes. The unsullied is nice when you are at the very last part of killing magister and helps you to not die in that fight, now you can just use the ancients spell with tank armor. Remember both codex items were drastically cheaper also.

[@InitYeah]

True I suppose back when they weren't 900m it was more reasonable haha.

[@True_Camo]

I love my elite sirenic because of how much i do elite dungeons and it’s drippy af. However, like you said, it’s only worth it at the end of your upgrade journey and I basically am. The only thing I have left to do for ranged is buying 2 more eofs and then buying a duplicate sgb to use off style instead of my eof’d sgb.

[@XlSlothXl]

1/20 becomes 1/19 at nex. That's insanely beneficial

[@MsMiDC]

I just like the teleports on LOTD tbh

[@InitYeah]

Yeee but the ring of fortune does the same teleports for 1m :p

[@MsMiDC]

@@InitYeah Not really, i like the Keldagrim tele for clues a lot, and when im doing clues if i dont have it i always miss it. So for me personally its worth, BUT it is not for most players, and making it a arch relic is even worse for most players.

[@PenguiNation]

For the orb of Cywir, what if you got two of these when it was like 10m? At the time book was like 20+

[@msylcatac]

8m vs 1b all for a +4 boost to range. no thank you, elite sirenic, im good

[@peppara]

I got the orb and wand as a drop in the same instance so I guess that helps haha

[@GamingTechReview]

Actually you buy elite sirenic for its superior defensive stats. Although the dps is a small increase, the defensive bonuses are a massive upgrade.

[@domreto5055]

lol if you are buying any armor for defensive stats then you might as wellsell everything just be a mage and use animate dead or you know learn to use defensive abilities

[@GamingTechReview]

@@domreto5055 Not true at all, having better defensive stats makes bosses less accurate against you and the difference is big. The Elite Sirenic Armor makes end game bosses more chill. Anime dead is overrated and actually does not make difference. I fight zuk all the time with range and magic doesn't do much better at defence if you dont know what your doing. Skill is first but defensive bonuses on range and melee do affect things big time. Even with anime dead, you are still weak as fuck to range attacks compared to melee tank gear.

[@GamingTechReview]

@@domreto5055 Otherwise people should then use void if defense never really mattered.

[@domreto5055]

@@GamingTechReview I've beat plenty of bosses without any armour all you need is good weapons and a good rotations and how to use defensives

[@Mrjoecreeper]

@@GamingTechReview People would use void more often if it was augmentable and you could use cinderbanes with it. Vestments are by far the best melee armour, and it has the same defensive bonus as bandos lol

[@mikie495]

imo the armabstaff is only useful for mage kera/zammy(seeing as you also need another eof for it anyways) so i agree with that choice!

[@Wowz4me]

Ty for the video, looking for more content on what to buy at mid level for skilling

[@ricarditoo]

As a skiller I earned back the Luck of the Dwarves + Grace of the Ellves multiple times now. Sadly no luck with the Hazelmere though.

[@InitYeah]

oh yeah with the gote combo its deffo work

[@EzleRS]

I feel like you could add Staff Of Sliske to this list lol.

[@True_Camo]

Idk man that golden touch ability looks wayyyyyy more useful than limitless😂😂😂😂😂

[@spencerl.9859]

Phew only one of these I have is LotD and I bought it at 20m 😅

[@cowboycayman]

Golden touch partial defender here: when afking dag kings (which is insane money rn an hour by itself) there are a lot of drops like the rock armor items and kegs of beer to name a few that i wont notepaper because its not worth it for the sake of conserving inventory space. using this ive made back nearly 100m there for items that normally arent worth using paper on. only at 8000 kc too. now i understand it can be argued all that should be picked up anyways, this was stuff that was for sure going on the ground for me. I also have had this ability for a long time as i got the vital sparks when they were WAAAAAY cheaper and the ability was only like 150-200m total

[@MaxxCombat]

TY for putting LOTD in here first the amount of friends i have tried to convince is crazy

[@Linkolnverse]

*stares at augmented elite sirenic gear in bank*

[@kevinkross4933]

great vid this just saved me so much on upgrades

[@Wtfomgbbq123]

i dont like how this video started off with directly with luck of the dwarves, it honestly depends how you play. for strictly combat purposes, no you dont need it for a long time. it can be a midgame or if you just dont care, end game. here is what you have to consider with lotd, do you have grace of the elves and are you a skiller. if you're not a combat play as much as you skill, then you want luck of the dwarves for increased benefit on seren spirits, and the technical at hsr. without lotd there aren't many ways to get an hsr, i reiterate. if you do combat, not needed early, if you do skilling with a GOTE. YOU 100% WANT THE LOTD............................

[@InitYeah]

I mean I did say ''for combat'' and also specified that it is totally worth it when paring with grace of the elves lol 0:40

[@malicekooper]

If you're spending the GP then I agree LOD is a waste of GP unless it's one of the last things you get HOWEVER if you're a clue chaser it's worth it IMHO as you can farm up everything yourself to make it

[@robertbodarian6931]

You ever heard of opportunity cost? You could just sell the LOtD that you made to gain the GP. So it makes no difference if you made it or bought it.

[@usalscorner]

The only accounts I have that bought LotD did so way back when it was under 30m. My new account made the one she has, it's not that hard to make and you don't really need one before you get high enough to make one with help from an Extreme Invention pot anyway.

[@jjwilson444]

Some jackass on YT convinced me to buy Golden touch and it basically deleted 2 warrior rings and 5 dragon hatches and payed out 0 gp.

[@darianlalla8322]

If they add a fourth boot and a necro codex to raksha and make me have to go back to regain my title im gonna lose my mind

[@sambrown9475]

6:40 but...but...but the spring cleaner though

[@bluemoon1197]

I love my Luck of the Dwarves. I use it to get easy clues from HAM members. It speeds up getting those easy clues so much I have a Armadyl Battlestaff . I’ve had it forever and it’s my main go to magic weapon, I do have a Virtus Wand and SunSpear, and Nox Staff, but I always use my Armadyl Battlestaff. I just do casual slayer/bossing

[@cyborgninjamonkey]

Luck of the Dwarves has the exact same effect on HAM members as the Ring of Fortune, which is 1M. I'm not sure how you're using the Armadyl Battlestaff, but unless you're constantly spamming the special attack I'd have to guess it's for the unlimited air runes? An elemental impetus is about 3M and will upgrade a mystic air staff to tier 82-5 higher than ABS-while retaining the unlimited air rune effect (though it's also worth noting that air spells do not consume runes at all when using abilities).

[@cyborgninjamonkey]

Also the ability/spell damage increase from ABS to nox is equivalent to gaining *fifty* magic levels.

[@sambrown9475]

So I have Tier 90 range and melee armor and weapons and Tier 80 magic armor and 85 magic weapons. Are you telling me to sell my lotd for something else?

[@DarkChaoto]

I got my luck of the dwarves when it was 30 mill.

[@mesekk]

Say it ain't so 😢 I'm wasting gp with my cywir orb?! What's even the point of a tier 85 off hand if it's just as strong as a tier 80 offhand 😂

[@InitYeah]

It is pretty much just existing for components haha

[@chloegarner3572]

The accuracy is t90, which for the off hand is pointless (haven't watched the video yet idk if he mentioned it)

[@XlSlothXl]

Bro the upgrade costs 213m?? I got mine for 60-80m each

[@bigbrisk8423]

Luck of the dwarves was actually dope before i made it into a relic for the arch monolith, it can shine and you get 2 hermodic plates instead of 1, the relic cant shine and give an extra drop. The physical ring is better than the relic 100%

[@bigbrisk8423]

Can't forget the teleports I used those quite often too

[@zapfska7390]

Golden touch is nice. You just kill and get gp. No hassle with notepaper, higher value, and save on springs. Will i ever make the gp back, probably not but it makes it more comfy to play the game

[@Brian_Gonzales]

springs cost like 700g you always make profit on whatever it breaks down since you choose what it alchs and its cheaper than alching lol, golden touch serves no purpose you need to get back 900m in alchs to even break even on it.

[@mrgibbons9995]

Glad i got my arma bstaff for like 7-8m way back when lmao, too bad i didnt get extras or id have made bond money right there.

[@Sporkredfox]

wait...pota recharge is using fortunate comps? I mean, hardly matters most pple arent going to anyways and those who do price is negligible but...yeah not jewelry (which is actually even easier)

[@Nathan-uo9yf]

vital sparks cost way too much is the point I took from this video

[@lonelyfarmer4677]

the way i see luck of the dwarves, sure 1 kill isnt gonna change much but if you do 100 kills that basically give an extra unique, i know RS is RNG based, but i think if you're going to spend hours at a boss might aswell use it and get most out of it but if you're a casual that only do some bosses here and there of course it is not worth it, im sure someone would do a loot video with and without the ring the difference would show.

[@SympleSyn]

The only reason to get golden touch is for true trim, other than that no sane person would get it.

[@kemikade]

Pry my LotD from my cold dead hands. (I bought it when it came out and was super cheap)

Haha yeah this was specifically the dark version, they just look identical D:

[@ShinobiVIPER]

I own ALL OF THEM 🤣 (except golden touch or the other vital sparks ability, why does this thing exist? I’m assuming the prices are propped up by the limitless ability) I had the armadyl battle staff from way back, it used to be my go too weapon for slayer and I bought it at 30m 😅 Was so tempting to sell when the prices skyrocketed

[@InitYeah]

>.

[@lolokbr]

Fun fact: you would need to get several hundred drops each worth more than 25M before the LOTD would pay for itself.

Or you could be a mad lad like me and just make the LOTD 😂 I don't regret it though.

And knowing your luck they do something to make it busted but you swapped it out.

[@couchman7749]

I always disagree with the luck based items, they’ll always be more profitable the earlier you get them, since over time you will make your money back while still having a chance better chance at huge drops, I got my LotD before ever doing clue scrolls and in 53 elites had been fortunate enough to snag 3 ice dyes. Obviously can’t count on RNG but high level gear is so ridiculously expensive that with out my lucky ring I doubt I’d have been able to afford any of my tier 90 gear
