Stilerion Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Some of you witnessed my accidentally high alching my 36M SGS earlier today in the CC... wanted to share how this happened as a lesson for any of you who may also be relative noobs in the grand scheme of things like I am. The default high alch warning threshold is 30k value. I thought this was fine, and left it that way. I thought 'the lower the better that way I don't accidentally high alch some valuable stuff'. But what that meant was that even for things I found myself commonly high alching (a rune kite in this instance), I needed to click through the warning... so I got the muscle memory / in the habit of clicking through the high alch warning without thinking about it because I was high alching things like rune kites, rune 2h's so commonly. Well that meant that when I went to alch my latest rune kite, I misclicked my SGS, spam clicked through the warning as I always do, and voila, SGS gone. I didn't even notice until 10 minutes later, when I noticed 2 things: 1. "Wow, my high alch stack is already at 810k. I didn't think iron dragon alchs were that good..." 2. "I could use some prayer, let me swap to my SGS ------ oh. oh no. oh god no." Lesson learned for the rest of ya's: go set your high alch warning threshold much higher than 30k right now. Right click the high alch spell in your spellbook and go through the dialog options. Don't get in the habit of clicking through that warning dialog for normal alchs. Pour one out for my lost SGS and Monday morning groggy brain.

Misdeal Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Pretty good idea for an item sink, every time you high alch something your inventory gets scrambled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
