    It’s true that you’d respawn in lumbridge if you died on tutorial island. It might have even been slighter faster than fully completing tutorial island. The only difference was that you didn’t spawn with the starter kit and you respawned as if it was a regular death (vs spawning outside of the castle when regularly leaving tutorial island)

    Not sure if this counts as a myth, but it's a popular belief that the dragon's eye master clue step is the worst step to get. I'd like to see a timed comparison between this step and the other terrible master clue steps: Castle Drakan, shadow dungeon, and north of Trollheim where you fight Kamil. Maybe even include 2 versions of the dragon's eye step where one option has you traveling via fairy ring and the other has you using the diary cape to the jungle forester, which is faster but has higher requirements.

    • @DrexSux

And the fourth one, Castle Drakan, is just a really tedious run that can be confusing to even get to, so it's got a reputation as well even if there are other stash steps that are comparable to it (the lava dragon isle stash rings a bell)

      They moved all players.
      Back when the Slayer update was teased everyone logged out on the path to what is the Slayer tower (we didnt know what it was just they showed a castle north of Morytania)
      Where people logged out would've ended up in people being stuck in trees/roots right after, instead we were all moved to a single point upon logging back in.
      Sometimes they do make mistakes, IIRC when they added x marks the spot/changed Lumbridge a few people were stuck in walls. But usually they just move any accounts that are logged out on map tiles that they're working on to an adjacent one.

    As for infernal/fire cape: the animated bit is probably an overlay over that cape you see briefly when teleporting. During the teleport animation, the overlay is removed at the start of the animation rather than fading out (fading it out would have revealed the underlying texture anyway). Whip is probably the same, but the overlay is removed at the end of the animation.

    i haven't done it in a long time so i don't remember exactly how i used to do it, but when harvesting herbs and allotments you can do a specific sequence of inputs to increase your harvesting speed from 4 or 5 ticks to like 2 or something. i don't know if it's very well known because i never saw anyone else do it, but you can see the animation cut off so it's visible when other players do it
    as best i remember, it was harvest > wait 2 or 3 ticks > harvest > harvest, where the second harvest input was also your first harvest action completed. it was possibly executing two harvest commands simultaneously. not a huge breakthrough but only five clicks for faster harvesting. important note was that if you just spam clicked it wouldn't work, the timing is precise

  • @VallianceRS
    @VallianceRS Před 5 měsíci +11

    Main difference with the compost and plant differences is herb patches. The click box for composting becomes the size of the little herb planted in most of the herb patches (protected ones are different ID's and have their whole clickbox the whole time). So it can make misclicks less likely with compost first (and used to be the *required* way of doing it, so the habit is there for that reason)

    • @eskrrz
      @eskrrz Před 5 měsíci +1

      Not sure if it affects ticks like mentioned in the video but composting first the xp drop happens mid animation and can plant the seed right after the xp drop. Whereas dibbing first you have to wait to finish the animation before composting. Composting first seems faster imo.

    @linkblade0 Před 2 měsíci

    The fire cape and inferno cape textures are likely the fallback texture.
    When adding a custom animation or texture, it's fairly standard practice to include a low memory, secondary static texture that acts as the fallback texture if the primary one fails.
    There is likely just one function that controls player animations for each equipment slot. So when you use a fairy ring, it activates all those functions to perform the sparkly fade out animation. This overrides the cape animation so it defaults back to the static texture until the cape animation can play again.

    About the firecape placeholder thing. Whats happening is that the game has two shaders, one being applied to your cape, so the texture's UV mapping scrolls downwards. It does many other things to make it look all pretty too.
    This effect is a shader, but this shader doesn't have support for transparency, which is used during the warp effect. So when you warp away it uses the raw texture. It swaps it to a default shader which allows transparency just for a brief moment. Thats why the cape looks scuffed.
    Source: I'm a games programming university student who learnt a lot about making game engines and I have a similar issue lol. Though i might be wrong on the specifics. It's mostly a rendering problem that the engine cant support both transparency and whatever texture effect those capes have at the same time.

      you don't need to spam click though, you just need to click at a specific time during the herb patch harvest animation and then it will automatically always harvest 2 at a time
      it also works with the allotment patch but the timing is different and you'll know if you did it right because you'll see your character use the spade quickly twice in a row and then afterwards you'll get two harvests at a time per one animation
      the compost bin thing is if the compost bin is close enough to an allotment patch, if you click harvest on the patch and before your character starts the animation, you use an compostable item on the bin, everything you harvest gets immediately loaded into it

  • @octo294
    @octo294 Před 5 měsíci +15

    For the firecape having an ugly placeholder when teleporting, it might be because the teleport animation scales your character to 0 and those animated textures ignore scaling. So then you only see textures of your cape that don't scale down with the character.

      May also not even be a placeholder cape, just what the cape looks like without the textures enabled

    • @Wolfine21
      @Wolfine21 Před 5 měsíci +2

      I think it's definitely a shader thing; that whatever they use for animated textures doesn't support transparency. Like how the volcanic whip which uses (what looks like) the same shader as the Fire Cape, doesn't fade away when teleporting. Jagex likely just didn't want your fire/infernal cape sticking around while teleporting, and opted to have a replacement show for a very short time

    pretty sure if you put compost first and then seed you can interrupt the Seed planting animation allowing you to walk to another patch and plant one faster. The actual action on 1 allotment patch isn't noticeable but if you need to plant more than 1 patch then you save ticks with the animation canceling

  • @BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMval
    @BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMval Před 4 měsíci

    The firecape fairyring thing is probably just early devs having issues making the dynamic texture of the firecape fade away, hence why the dynamic textures of whip doesnt fade away either. But the whip is much smaller so i think nobody could be bothered to replace it with a placeholder item(more important for cape because its as large as your entire body)

    The difference between compost/seed or seed/compost is that if you compost first, there's a much higher chance that weeds will grow and slow you down. Weeds can grow if it's composted without a seed, but they can't grow with a seed without compost. Always go seed first

    While perhaps not faster per se, it's still better to plant a seed before composting, when you don't have auto-weeding from tithe farm enabled. During composting, the weeds could grow back, meaning you'd have to rake before you can plant. By planting first, that happens much less frequently, avoiding frustration on your farm runs

  • @trueobscuregaming

    The cape changing textures could potentially be because they switch the shader of each item, plus your character to allow you to fade away. Normally in programming, an object can't be transparent unless it's told it can be, and if you tell an object it can be transparent when it doesn't have to be, there are a bunch of issues that comes with it due to texture sorting. Since the shader is switched, the animation effect goes away.
    It's kind of complicated and I don't know enough about it to explain exactly why, nor do I know if this is what's happening in the fairy rings.
    You can see problems with transparent objects in many games, for example Minecraft. I remember there being a bug where the particles that comes from eating food would be displayed behind water blocks, even if the water blocks were far in the distance. Windows also face this issue in many games.
    EDIT: Maybe this is also why they went for a character scaling animation during teleports instead of fading away? Would be cool to know

  • @FreeSeoul

    The cape fairy ring is probably because there was an animation bug (wild guess, because it vanishes gradually), it would either crash the client, not show, not vanish or some other undesired effect, so they made it change into a placeholder, then either the bug is still there (it only applies to fire and infernal capes) or they fixed it but forgot to remove the placeholder.

    • @SwagzLife
      @SwagzLife Před 4 měsíci

      I think it is because they couldn't make the animated texture fade as per the animation of the fairy ring, so they swapped the texture to a static one whilst the animation plays. The whip's texture doesn't fade, but is very much niche and less easy to spot compared to the fire cape. It'd be interesting to see if other items with animated textures or that are otherwise animated have a similar effect.

  • @Gotenhanku
    @Gotenhanku Před 4 měsíci

    For the seed first or compost first I think most go seed first for the off chance you time it right and get the farming growth tick just after you plant but before you compost thus saving you a tiny bit of time over the course of the seed growing. It's also important for if you don't have the auto-weed perk from tithe farm to prevent wasting time on weeds happening to tick and grow between you composting and planting. Ultimately thought it's just preference.

    This may not be over. If you can skip obtaining the lumbridge respawn point or dying there, then you can technically teleport to tutorial island from the respawn point teleport with items that shouldn't be possible to obtain. If there was a tablet you can 1tick pick it up and use it before lumbridge is flaggedas a respawn point too. Is any of this possible? Probably not.

      100% yes, click the herbs, then while the animation is playing spam click until you get 1 or 2 herbs. If done correctly you will start receiving herbs 2 at a time instead of 1 with no input. It's definitely worth a burst of clicks to harvest herbs and allotments twice as fast.
