the WX rework is probably my favorite rework of all time, they've preserved his identity so well but also made the character more interesting and less selfish.
He’s still a all take no give character though he mainly gets benefits for himself with the circuits though there are some circuits that can help the team but they are mainly used for wx
I never rushed the ruins before winter until i used WX yesterday. I always tried as wanda but died multiple times and kept restarting the day, it was frustrating. But when i played as WX i rushed them on day 9 and didn't die a single time. I didn't bring enough pickaxes lol, but i brought a couple hammers and left with a ton of gold and a few gems. The moggle vision is really nice. IMO, they should make the light-emmiting circuit only take up 2-3 slots instead of 4, because right now why would you choose it over the moggle circuit. It's harder to attain, takes up the same amount of slots, and is less effective. If it took up 2-3 you could combine it with the heating circuit for winter and freezing circuit for summer so you would have light and temperature control.
its way better for your teammates, moggle circuit is op solo but completely useless to your teammates, meaning you might have to wait for them in certain situations, which would not be an issue with the light circuit though I do agree it should cost less slots
They did change the illuminating circuit to 3 slots now, but I think its advantage over the moggles is when you play multiplayer. You can basically act as a light for other players around, while the moggles ones can't.
I'm just ecstatic for the simple fact that WX-78 no longer needs to chow down on gears, a win for fling-o's and ice boxes! But I love all the changes in truth. The lights and the scanning for new lights are great additions and mechanics for WX.
I swear you are the new best DST RUclipsr and you haven't even been doing DST anywhere near as long as all the popular DST channels. Such fun commentary and editing. Always straight-to-the-point.
I heard that the new "meta" is finding Ancient Guardian before the ruins, just in case you end up finding what you need from his loot, which I think is a very good strat for ruins rushing/looting
This is a amazing rework, it makes the character a lot more in depth and makes him a lot more versatile. But I think that it would have been cool for him to also have really late game circuits that are super expensive but also powerful, maybe requiring 1 or more boss drops. For instance, you could scan one of the twins and use the shield of terror to make a circuit that increases damage and gives built in armor. But I could understand that circuits like this or similar ones would make him really OP but I just thought it would be cool to see some more expensive circuits!!!!!
The rework really helps to make Wx a team player. For those reading, you probably already know that gears are no longer needed for upgrading, and that the chorusbox exists, but did you also know? - Illumination circuit still protects you from Charlie, takes less slots than moggles, AND helps people nearby - Thermal and refrigeration circuits effect spoilage of held food, thermal marginally helps keep you dry. More importantly, Wx is given a temperature aura others can use (also works, at least when held, on thermal stones) - Wx can still drop gears after eating them if they die, and can also still eat spoiling food to great benefit - Refrigeration circuits can be used to make infinite ice, good for endless meatballage. More niche use: gets rid of max wetness
0:43 I find trapping the rabbit in the edge of the world more consistent and efficient. While collecting resources, just put it down and let it scan itself for a bit while collecting nearby grass and twigs.
Wx78 is really powerful with this new update, so much so that it makes other characters, (my favorite, wormwood specifically) seem a lot worse in comparison. Being able to do this with no downside seems sorta busted!
man the moggles circuit was so busted now that i think about it, all you needed was flint and a hammer (and of course Jimmy) and boom infinite light for the cost of 4 circuit space
Playing with like, 200% movement speed (rough guess) with almost no upkeep in resources (Cane + mag + 3 upgraded speed modules) for the low price of being permanently insane feels so powerful, I'm shocked the developers let us get away with this. Plus if you combine that with a road, it's even more insane.
My tactic1 (Health and seeing in the dark) you just become Wilson but can see in the dark and have more health Tactic2(may not works) (Hot and cold) together so you never worry about temperature
I think the 3x speed is better simply because if you generally get the same amount of stuff, you can get other things faster too, when you're done with the ruins.
we'd need more tests to say for certain which is better. It's entirely possible that you just got better ruins generation on the speed run compared to the moggles run.
@@TheActionAsk I assume the idea was "More loot over a set ammount of time", but no. He actually spent *less* time in the ruins with one speed module and one night vision module than he did with 3 speed modules. Or atleast ended a day earlier. So as I said, more testing is required. And we should probably wait for the full release for said testing, given how the optoelectric circuit was nerfed
One way I like finding the ruins is as soon as I go down to the caves, I zoom out as far as I can and like use my cursor to feel out the map edges(its a big square) because you normally spawn in a corner and the ruins is likely the way opposite of the corner you spawned in. I play on console so idk if you can do that on PC
Did you ever thought about using a moded Character for a Speedrun? obviously this would be only a funrun and not a real competetiv run, but i for example like the tf2 engineer since he has turrets, which are extremly op but this might be an idea to do a run with, like how much faster is he really with his opnes or isnt he actually that op, compared to the other characters?
I have a problem and need advice. I love the game and all, but I can't figure a nice keybind for attack/force attack. I'm fine with ctrl+attack button for forceattack, but F is such a janky attack button. When I press F I can't press D normaly to kite and it screws up alot of my fights. Any thoughts on a good Attack hotkey (mb4 and mb5 would be perfect but Klei won't make them hotkeyable :/)
Use something like ahk or razer software to rebind the thumb buttons to a key that's hotkeyable, I use one of the thumb buttons for attack and one for force attack.
hopefully there'll be more gears for the rest of us and WX-78 doesn't have to eat all of them. then again, they're really good for healing, so the gear consumption might still be an issue.
After DST on Switch got updated to the WX Rework, this video will prove very usefull (they gave WX infinite Moggles for one Moleworm why did they not think this through)
I brought hutch along and did a 100% clear in 13 days with 1 speed & 1 night vision. Also I got the speed one as soon as I made an alc because you can scan a rabbit again
Holy shit dude, you got 2m views on a one-off Speedrun video and now you're getting 10x the views you used to get on osrs content????? Good for you man. I'm kinda sad I missed so much of your content that I didn't notice the shift to dst.
Given the cut and increase in gears, frazzled wires etc, it would appear that in the cut between day 6 and 7 I went and looted more of the ruins, I would have streamed this while recording but I don't remember exactly when it was, sorry!
how i scan the bunny is i trap two (or one) and wait until night time then i scan it at night time so it does not escape if it runs away it will sleep before it does then if i took only one bunny i trap that bunny then i use it
For intermediate players, I would recommend night vision because it gives you one less way to die and for this reason WX is the first character that has given me the opportunity to explore the ruins. My friend is playing Wanda and doesnt know what thulecite is. I'm gonna go get some. Thanks Jakey.
there is another case to test: single speed at start, then unplug, then moggles + speed v2 this also doesn't mention that you need more skill to play triple speed with lantern than single speed with perma moggles (vision makes it much easier) thanks for video
I think it's funny how in order to kite a bishop, you must move like a knight.
LOL YOU'RE RIGHT
Big brain
And that Works in chess too
Kiting knights you move like a rook, and kiting rooks you move like a bishop.
Wow that is cool

cryogenic or normal depending on season XD
Would be awesome for support.

Can't wait for the all bosses run with reworked WX-78
I hope he does a all bosses run with WX-78.

How exactly does the ice circuit majes ice? Is it just passively produced or do you craft it? I've never used it lol
@@candacefullrv9291 Get hit by water balloons will do it I think? It's kinda been a while heh, think they need max wetness to make ice

Idea : Make Maxwell get PTSD by using a torture music when using WX-78
Can't wait for the speedrun of all speeds :d

Fantastic video all around, but I think my favorite part is the monkey dominoes. 🤣
before rework: eats fridge
after rework: becomes fridge
I think the 3x speed is better simply because if you generally get the same amount of stuff, you can get other things faster too, when you're done with the ruins.
I can’t wait for this to hit live
You could use the ice module to keep your ham-bat fresher for longer, allowing you to keep your damage up for awhile
funny enough, i got the trailer for the wx-78 rework ad from klei before the video started.
Damn brother you making moves with ur channel
Good for you
damn bro congrats on the sucess branching out from the runescape scene glad
Loved the Dio reference 😂
"Heh-heh! Monkey dominoes!"
-Jakey, 2022
Some of the recipes are rightfully more challenging now that it’s out
You should play on the same seed so you can Accurately find the time change
Do a all boss speedrun with wx
You are the best

Love the new video :) I hope it come out on console soon!
ok pretty cool video, now do an All boss run as reworked WX-78

Is the backpack inventory on the bottom a mod or is it a new dst feature?
It's an option in settings
I have a problem and need advice.

Use something like ahk or razer software to rebind the thumb buttons to a key that's hotkeyable, I use one of the thumb buttons for attack and one for force attack.
Hey jake.
What mods do you use?
1:51 oh, did they neef the night vision circuit so it needs now fireflies?
They did indeed!
@@Jakeyosaurus fair enough, infinite moggles from the first day very strong, maybe even tok strong
how did you move your backpack slots from the side to down below your normal inventory slots?

I am a bit sad in my solo world I don't get to have insane stats and speed / light anymore, but I do love these new changes! Great rework
Osrs had some awesome graphics patch
So basically I can get up to 125% speed boost with 3 super speed circuits, a walking cane, and a yellow amulet? Houlee cow...
Wx summed up in 1 word
SPEED
How do you manage hunger and sanity during these runs
This is great
You are a god
i miss the osrs
when is the expert guide coming for all seasons?
We are waiting for the last dst guide🤟❤️❤️
Holy shit dude, you got 2m views on a one-off Speedrun video and now you're getting 10x the views you used to get on osrs content????? Good for you man. I'm kinda sad I missed so much of your content that I didn't notice the shift to dst.
How do you got the uptade because i don't have the uprgrdes of w78
Interesting results, but are they peer reviewed??
speed run for WX-78 please
The graphs make my nerd brain happy lmao
But in 6:25 how did you start with 8 green gems, used constuction amulet as stated, and still had 8 green gams left? Mm suspicious
Given the cut and increase in gears, frazzled wires etc, it would appear that in the cut between day 6 and 7 I went and looted more of the ruins, I would have streamed this while recording but I don't remember exactly when it was, sorry!
i think that his upgrade machanic could be used still but insted of stats it unlocks more slots for the circuit
I think the point was moving him away from gears as to avoid wx from taking all gears possible in multiplayer
I'm famous! I made it into the video!
Also, SPEEEEEEEEED!
Now defeating every boss as reworked WX?
How can you create a world , every time I try to it appear an error 😢😢😢😫
Used to be a better Wilson but now has its own thing, so much better
Hope Klei releases WX 78 skill tree soon(I'm a WX main)
The cave nightmares was a patch added later, they didn't lie, it was added to the game.
it's funny how eating gears wont upgrade anymore but the rework makes ruin rushers eat more gears because it's easier to rush ruin than before
Is this only on PC or available on console?
I've attempted this twice and both times Wx has gotten too wet, the moggle circuit deactivates and I die to darkness 😭
how i scan the bunny is i trap two (or one) and wait until night time then i scan it at night time so it does not escape if it runs away it will sleep before it does then if i took only one bunny i trap that bunny then i use it
how about you get the best of both worlds, you get triple speed and make a moggles just toggle it when you need it?
5:20 how to kite bishop
What u are using for graphs
Microsoft Excel 😁
jake im a big brazilian fan, how do i get a woodie run?
the speed bonus is multiplicative btw

How do I play reworked wx? I tried playing him but it was just pre rework wx
hi , im having some problems in my farms that my grass didnt grow up , help me pls
Cant you just scan the bonked moleworm?
Ok now do every boss as reworked wx-78
there is another case to test: single speed at start, then unplug, then moggles + speed v2

Can ruins reset?

Leaving the circle does not reset the scan time
Can you stack the walking cane, speed circuits, roads and a magiluminescence
yep!
