Aren't I charming?

Hello fellow SRL members, Theron here. I am starting my first progress thread on Villavu. I am starting a brand new account and I will be using The Mayor's Gelatinous Abomination Obliterator [found here: https://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103246] to ONLY train my defense and collect as many gold charms as I can before getting that ban-hammer. I will be doing my best to run the account at all times. Predominantly, I will be using a chargebow, but I will switch my weapons and worlds up to keep FaGex on their toes'.

Today is December 12th and I will be starting at level 1 defense, level 3 combat, and 0 gold charms. I will do my best to update this thread daily, possibly multiple times a day, depending on IRL situations and such. You may be asking, "why?". Currently, I do not have a reason, therefore, I will reply with "why not?". Post comments, opinions, advice, or sweet words of encouragement, but trolling will not tolerated, leave it off my thread please. The pessimism is not necessary. You MUST be a P2P account in order to receive gold charms as drops.

what does that have to do with anything with it? I thought they dropped gold charms, regardless.

Not exactly sure where they are located, but as long as you are a member they should be dropping. Good luck with your journey, though. :)

You need to be a member.

but i can get gold charms from cows/trolls/etc.?

Do I have to stay a member or will becoming a member once permanently unlock them?

They are probably only unlocked while you are a member, just like most P2P drops from F2P monsters.

so why do trolls and cows drop gold charms?

The wiki says nothing about requiring membership to obtain them.



I know at one point in game you needed to help Ariane kill the troll shaman, magic stick, which unlocked the gold charm drops, but now I do not see her in the Taverly dungeon.

Troll Warzone was removed, so that isn't it anymore.

As for the other monsters dropping charms, it might be a bug or it might be just how Jagex decided to do it.

@The Mayor; should know if they drop charms or not, unless he's only used F2P accounts. If you're really concerned that the drops are bugged you could send a bug report to jagex I guess.

I wonder how that would go "Hey, I'm trying to bot with a GAO script and I'm not getting my drops right, could you fix it so I can continue breaking the rules?"

Turns out you have to be on a P2P world to receive gold charms as loot.

Just make sure that in your report you explain that you're not botting in order to disrespect them, you're botting because it allows to enjoy their game while you sleep. They'll understand.

The Mayor

It's not a bug; GAs were never meant to drop charms on f2p. They haven't since they were introduced, even when magic stick was there.

Defence only, man that's gonna be slow-going I assume; I don't play that version. Never the less, I enjoy following progress threads like this. Good luck to you.

I am, updating shortly.

Also, could you walk me through how to set up spoilers on my thread so the images don't take up so much room, I knew how to do it at one point, but forgot. xD
