@Aeglen I think you're misunderstanding my intentions, although that's a decent idea too. Just get top, bottom, and weapon maybe. What I mean though is just do not go buy until you have the total needed, whatever that is. Say, for example, iron is first set. 3 items valued at say 300gp. Each one is 100gp. Currently, the bot will buy if it has 100gp. Wasting all that time, just to cancel because it doesn't have all 3. Instead, calculate the total required to start (when possible) then only go once that total is reached. I understand that later this is not as optimal because every gear upgrade is valuable, but this wastes a good chunk of time early for that first few trips of gear and food while earning minimum requirements to be able to sell commonly botted items.
On that note, there may be a more optimal path to reach the GP before the minimum F2P trade requirements. This is a list of restricted F2P trade items . For example, buy rope from ned's handmade rope. 70 profit each * 28 rope is 2k. Boom, you can get started easy. Eggs are 30. Bones are 60. Cabbages are 30. Any quick method for a few thousand to get started is a game changer. Catching, cooking, using shrimp as the first foods would be good too. Somehow I died and lost the previous steel scim I had and who knows what else, so probably eating/leaving optimization.
A separate note for trade requirements is questing. I hit play and go to quests, and the list is full of mostly members quests and the 3 F2P shown are done and it does not scroll down. Questing is top priority with the rest as normal, but new quests never get done. Is this related to members quest filling the list? Are completed quests not being removed from the list? Can you add an option to disable members quests? or better yet automatically check for membership and disable them? or is it not even related to that list?
At the end of they, there's a bunch to do for F2P new account optimization. I'd like to assume these problems don't come up on higher level members accounts, but for people like me who want to demo on non-risk accounts, it's a bit unappealing. This is like the taste test, the introduction. It should leave a great impression.
