Raids

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

Anyone try Raids yet? Actually pretty impressed with OSRS team on this one. My clan completed a raid in like 2 1/2 hours. Loot was crap but experience was fun. With some tweaks it can be really great content.

I know a lot of people are mad the loot is hard to get and the mechanics of the boss are tough, but this is exactly what Raids should be and have traditionally been in MMO'S.

I do think there should be more fighting, the standing around parts are pretty tedious and mundane.

 

Is it only for maxed mains? I haven't even read on this yet. How does the loot work?

So my interpretation of it or as far as I know Raids scales in difficulty based on levels + the amount of people in your party. You can have something ridiculous like up to 100 people. You earn points while in the cave and those points influence your individual drops. I'm not sure how the big drops like D Claws work. If they're automatically split up between the party or what.

I do not think you need to be maxed to do the content, but it helps. Especially early with strategies being non-existent. I was doing it on a lvl 124, so not quite maxed.

Ultimately, while reception has been pretty mixed, I think it has a lot of potential. Mainly the people upset are those that seemed to think Raids would provide the traditional quick to learn/quick to kill bosses. That isn't the case, which is great IMO. This is end game content, it's not supposed to be easy.

Can you only do it once a week? Or can it be farmed over and over again.

Over and Over. I'm sure once better strategies come out it will be pretty good chance of getting claws/bulwark and such. Not sure if it'll ever be consistently profitable though. They'd have to tweak some things to make that the case.

But it fills the Raids criteria nicely I think. Most of the time you get fuck-all but the chance for massive loot is there. That's always how I kind of viewed Raids in the traditional sense anyway.

My clan got a claws drop when I wasn't on

damm nice whats market price

I think when they got it was around 450M, probably cheaper now. Not sure what the other specialty items prices are.

Raids is definitely getting easier now that people are figuring it out. Jagex has already tweaked some things too.

straight sold it, honestly it's probably shit, the only reason I could see it being used for is bandos/zammy which we already do 4 hour trips @ in a 3 man team

You never know, it's pretty early and they may nerf/buff some of the items to make them more appropriate ^^. Anyway 40m is a nice split, how long did that raid in particular take?

I still need to try raids... been busy irl but will have a chance soon.

Nice loot dawg.

 

They've removed the farming tediousness which is great. Imo without a good team and max/near max gear it isn't worth it.

~ 1 hour 13 minutes, thats also our average raid time I'd say
