Fair enough, I'm just happy that I got some feedback and the idea wasn't completely dead weight.

Since we have Ground Item Overlays, I figure it would be a good time to add these suggestions since there is a possible chance to add other client features. The first one that I would like to press is Tile Markers / Indicators --- a RuneLite plugin feature that allows users to mark tiles for specific uses such as highlighting tiles to stand during certain boss fights or situations. This feature could also provide some usefulness outside of the game, such as making guides easier to explain if it deems necessary to pinpoint a specific tile for a situation.
The second one is probably something that I have suggested in the past, but I have no recollection of whether or not it was approved. It would be nice if we had XP Globes. Probably would be more useful to Ironmen and Classics since it's harder for them to achieve skill levels than Normies such as myself. Would appreciate some feedback on this suggestion too~
Thanks

IIRC, I think we had a large discussion about risking in the past --- both PvP and Gambling. The problem with Gambling is that you have to find willing players, there's not a lot of that on Alora mostly because people that are willing to gamble are setting the standards pretty high which turns away people who don't even have 100m in cash to their name. Yes, Gambling ( or even risking in general ) is a large attraction on RSPS, but then again... Alora is PROBABLY more known for its PvE content. So really, it's not a matter of changing anything about Gambling. It's setting the bar lower between players when hosting gambling sessions.

Very nice guide! Gotta say I loved your 'Smoother Guides' series and I'm just happy to see you're making guides again!
Thanks! Sorry for the absence~ I've decided to get Membership for Runescape to see what it's all about so that's why I've been absent. I still occasionally play on Alora, but not as much anymore. I'll try my best to write up more guides as time sees fit.

$ Jae's ~ Almost Senseless ~ Comprehensive Guide to PvE Money Making $
Hello once again! Unfortunately, I won't be writing a " Smoother Series " Guide any time soon but I did want to get SOME KIND of guide out for everyone... and that is PvE Money Making. Yes, that excludes Gambling and PvP based methods. This solely caters to those that just purely resent risking, which is understandable. Not everyone can be lucky.
This guide will cover most ( If not all ) of the well known methods of money making in Alora, but they will be listed near the bottom since it's a common method. We don't want this to be another guide of the same thing now, would we? Before we get started, we need to make this perfectly clear...
** EVERYTHING REQUIRES TIME AND PATIENCE **
Yes, I know... boohoo! We have to spend time and effort to make money! Well, too bad. That's how it is everywhere! Deal with it. If you understand this, continue below!
** THE METHODS **
* ~ Herblore: Super Combat Potions, Stamina Potions, 4 Dose Potions
Stamina Potions are just as simple and they're a good way to make a profit. Work on your agility, spend it on Amylase Crystals to create these potions for a good pile of gold.
If I haven't said it enough, we have lazy people... so lazy that they refuse to decant. Take any 3 dose potion and turn it into 4 and it easily becomes a slow purchase profit.
* ~ Smithing & Mining: Steel Bars, Adamant Bars, Rune Bars, Iron Ore, Coal, Gold Ore, Adamant Ore, Rune Ore
* ~ Fletching & Magic: Enchanted Arrows and More
Got too many Amulets of Fury in your bank? Don't have a Zenyte Shard yet? PLENTY of Onyx? Turn those Rune Bolts into Enchanted Onyx Bolts. Sell them for profit. I recommend making your own bolts for maximum profit, personally.
* ~ Farming: Torstol Seeds, Magic Seeds, Palm Tree Seeds
* ~ Woodcutting: Logs & Planks
* ~ Hunting: Dragon & Lucky Implings for Dragon Ammunition and Other Rarities
* ~ Slayer: Imbuement Scrolls, Crystal Keys and Cannonballs
* ~ Runecrafting: Pure Essence & Various Runes
* ~ Clue Scrolls: Hard & Elite
** HIGHLY COMMON METHODS **
These methods are mentioned in almost every other guide, but I'll cover them anyways in further detail in case you care to know.
** EDGEVILLE SHOP STALLS
If you're a brand new player, this is probably your go-to lazy method for cash. Work on your thieving, steal from the Gem Stall, sell crushed gems to Ali Morrisane and make a profit of 8m per hour with proper activeness. Really simple.
** DRAGON HUNTING
Another basic way of money making through PvM. Items you'll be selling off of them will be their Dragon Bones & Dragonhides. Depending on what kind of dragon, you might profit off other things such as bars, dragon ammunition, and the rare Draconic Visage.
** ITEM HUNTING: Bossing, Barrows, General PvM Massacre.
Tired of general goods trading? Fingers getting tired of clicking the same stall over and over again? Then this is the method you'll end up doing MOST of the time. Kill various things for extremely valuable and rare loot then sell it off at the Trading Post. Alternatively, do Barrows.
That pretty much concludes this guide, not a whole lot of complexity to it. If one method gets too dull, just switch over to another method. If all else fails, go play Doki Doki Literature Club or Dream Daddy. As always, feel free to add in anything I've missed through your feedback! It would be VERY appreciated~

I don't know if this has been suggested in the past, but I would suggest increasing the scale of the buff / debuff timers. That or use a better, larger template for displaying timers on buffs and debuffs. Something like this is so eye straining to those that play on higher resolution monitors~ and probably to those that have some issues with eye sight. I can't stress enough about how painful it is just to lean forward and squint your eyes just to read important screen information because it's so small. If anything, you can try using something like OSBuddy's template. Large, recognizable immediately, and it demonstrates a clockwise radial timer that is easy to read.
** I also understand that you can just change your monitor's resolution to something lower so everything is easier to see, but that shouldn't be a go-to option. It definitely shouldn't be the only thing you can do either if you're multi-tasking. Sacrificing monitor resolution just to read important information is absolutely mind numbing. Hopefully we can change this as soon as possible! Oh yeah, I also know there isn't any debuff timers but... wouldn't that be nice?

I support this for two reasons.
One, we're all cluttered in one world so there's USUALLY a room full of players in GWD. GWD just doesn't support enough players without a 2nd world or a cheaper option to instance. With ironmen players, this is an expensive cost. Better off just trying to compete kills with 5 other players in the same room just to save your gold.
Two. 5-8m per 90 minutes isn't even cost efficient unless you're lucky doing Bandos or Armadyl. Again, this drives back to Ironmen who are seeking to gear up or even new normal players who want to search for some of their gear rather than purchasing it. It's completely counter-productive.
