randoms way less frequently?

Anyone else getting them less frequently? I maybe got 2 in the past week… at least 1/4th the amount I used to get (pre bot nuke) is it because of lower population worlds or?

Actually, I had been wondering that myself. In the process of testing my new script, I've received a total of 1 random in around 20 hours testing.

Doesn't it just depends on what you're doing? Like high alching is higher rate than fighting…

I get perhaps 1 per day at most mining. Way down from before.

I think its to do with how much xp your gaining, correct me if I'm wrong.
Mining is not much xp per hour but yet things like high alching gains xp fast.

Yea I remember reading that too, but doing the same thing pre nuke I was getting a lot more randoms.. which is awesome!

Yea, it's weird.. I was keeping an eye on it for the past few days seeing if I was just going crazy or not

I don't think it's XP as I'm using scripts which give low XP and I get a random most times within 6 hours.
If you're standing at a bank you won't get randoms.

I do perceive that the rate has been decreased.

Damn

Yes it's mostly based on exp gained, but you can still get it while doing nothing based on time in game (maybe) and things like that (I'm not sure exactly what things but I have gotten them while standing at banks). We tested this a while back, doing things like turning in squirk juice for thieiving exp gives a random basically every trip; there's videos of this on youtube. At the start of one bxp weekend they messed up and everyone was getting randoms one after the other, but they fixed it in a few minutes. But as for getting randoms now, they feel the same to me but I'm working with high exp/hour training methods so it's possible random frequency is the same at these rates but lower otherwise.

U guys are clearly not botting enough or botting a skill worth a lot of money.. :c

I'm getting a hell of a lot of Randoms :S my script breaks every 3 hrs due to a random! Especially Molly and Forester.. omg those two appear every single time! Even with FindNormalRandoms at almost every other line + in every loop, the randoms destroy my scripts. Mouse goes crazy all over the place when a random comes.. it's like its finding a crazy amount of colours on the screen..

No clue why I'm getting them so much but damn.

I'm currently getting a random about every 40-70 min, but it's pretty common with me. Still though, I feel your pain!

im still getting a large amount of randoms, and than at times i do not even see the one/

It's definitely based on XP and level in the skill. You can do the same action on a lower level account and a higher level account, and the lower level will always get more randoms. Seems like some sort of algorithm.

Do we have an updated list of working and not working randoms somewhere?

I'd say best bet is to check stats and just see

anonymous probably the best account to just see if it fails which randoms

I just assumed because Runecrafting is slow exp that's the reason I've not been getting man. Maybe you're on to something.

I'm getting less randoms too.

I am getting less randoms also and was wondering the same thing.

I thought that too, but after Herblore, Fletching, and Smelting, it seems to be a formula they use that is based around XP. Who knows though.

I don't have randoms less frequent.
