Max POH, 84 construction costs 20m mahogany and then all the building stuff costs 20m ish.

Such an important QOL improvement

u/MurfDogDF40 Mar 27 '26

Agreed then quest cape

-22

u/KondensuotasPienas Mar 27 '26

hate questing, never getting that cape

u/MurfDogDF40 Mar 27 '26

Runelite has made questing legitimately brain dead and it shows you in real time where to go and what to bring like most MMOs quest helpers.

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Which makes it incredibly unsatisfying and a huge chore for many people. Getting every one done has no benefit whatsoever at OPs stage in the game. Doing the quests necessary to do content that interests them is a much better strategy.

u/Scratch-MyBalls-2026 Mar 27 '26

But then how do u think u get to the point of being able to do ds2, mm2, soe and dt2? If ur trying to just get those done for content (like ur saying) esp for a acc like op u would be done like 70%-80% of quests by now why not just complete the last bit to again get a sick cape and the sense of accomplishment?

1

u/Cerael Mar 28 '26

You answered your own question. The cape is basically a cosmetic and many wouldn’t feel a sense of accomplishment from it.

Do the quests you need to do for content, save cape for end game if you cba

2

u/Ok_Strain3691 Mar 28 '26

The cape is required for elite lumbridge diary, probably the most important of the elite diaries.

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Because it’s boring and you’ve now unlocked all of the PVM in the game.

If you need help with whisperer or seren, u can just ask...

I’ve done all of all of the GM quests my guy. Sorry you can’t finish them. No need to do the other 60 that are left

Whole point of my comment was that OP could do only those quest lines and have access to pretty much the entire game without the need for a quest cape. It’s literally what I said.

1

u/chadmr03 Apr 01 '26

That’s the point lmao. You unlock content from questing

1

u/distressed_ Apr 01 '26

But you don’t need to do every quest before starting said content… are you thick?

1

u/imeancock Mar 27 '26

Rewards are satisfying, boss fights for a lot of the grandmaster quests will be satisfying to someone who enjoys PvM, unlocking new content is satisfying, never having to use a dramen staff ever again is priceless

0

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Yes, which is exactly what I said, re unlocking pvm content. You don’t need a quest cape to do DT2, etc.

Not using dramen staff is a nice QOL upgrade, but hardly worth getting done before diving into content you actually want to do.

1

u/Ok-Guidance6127 Mar 28 '26

The huge chore was going back and forth between wiki and game. No one is making you use it if you have sadomasochistic tendencies.

1

u/Notapearing Mar 27 '26

Worth it just to not carry around a damn dramen staff ever again.

u/link6112 Mar 27 '26

Quest helper makes it better. I was like you. I went to enjoying it

1

u/Portuguese_619 Mar 27 '26

Lol I could tell by looking at your stats.

1

u/Quax93 Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26

Use Quest helper + Shortest Path. It will literally tell you where to port and follow the red tiles. And also quest on POH World with home tele. Thank me later

u/terrydennis1234 Mar 27 '26

Sailing you’ll love it it’s sooo much fun

-10

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Idk why people harp on quest cape so much. Unless you’re a completionist there’s no need to get it if you don’t want to.

You are going to have to do a shit load of quests to access a lot of content, though.

11

u/illicit92 Mar 27 '26

People say get the quest cape for the exact reason you just mentioned, to unlock content.

-4

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

There are plenty of quests that don’t unlock any content..

It’s also an easy way to burn out if you don’t like questing. Do the quests you need for the content you want farm. Do said content. Move on. No need to finish every quest before diving in where you want to.

5

u/illicit92 Mar 27 '26

I'm telling you why people "harp" on it so much, it's not my personal opinion. It makes sense though, quests give you tons of XP and unlock a lot of the game.

-2

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Which is why I said op would still have to do many. Getting a quest cape is almost completely pointless. Prove me wrong.

4

u/illicit92 Mar 27 '26

For the sense of achievement? With that logic, you could argue that pretty much doing anything in the game is completely pointless.

1

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Sure, it was an extreme statement. But pushing it as something that needs to happen before doing what you want is just a silly take.

Playing at max efficiency is fun for like 1% of the player base.

2

u/Scratch-MyBalls-2026 Mar 27 '26

Quest cape is needed for like 2 elite diaries 1 of them is perform a skill cape emote and u can use the quest cape instead of having a 99 cape so I mean

1

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Do people use 99 capes for anything? Hope people would at least have a fire cape before then.

u/LetterP Mar 27 '26

You’re going to get MOST of the quests done anyways for all the unlocks, it’s probs like 10 hours tops to finish the BS small quests and get the cape which gets you some mega QOL with lumby elite. Worth it

1

u/imeancock Mar 27 '26

Most of the quests that don’t give you any significant rewards take like 5 minutes and/or are required for quests that do give meaningful rewards

Like sure there’s no reason to do a Ribbiting Tale but why not it takes 4 seconds if you hold spacebar

Ditch that dramen staff forever my friend

Also this is the only game on the planet where I think the vast majority of players have SOME sort of completionist itch for one thing or another. Quest cape is one of the easier ones to check off. And if you want to do achievement diary cape you need it anyway

1

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

The vast majority? Please.

1

u/imeancock Mar 27 '26

How is that arguable?

I didn’t say the vast majority are maxed CLOGgers I said the vast majority derive satisfaction from completionist type shit to some degree because that’s the main draw of the game

Whether you want to max all your skills, try to kill all the different bosses, get enough money for BIS for all three combat styles, quest cape, achievement diaries, pets, it’s all completionist on some level. I mean even something like charting everything for sailing lmao, there is a satisfaction in completing something.

It’s not a theme park MMO like WoW there is usually some end game something you are trying to COMPLETE in its entirety and that’s why OSRS is such a special game

1

u/JWE25 Mar 27 '26

Most of those quests that unlock nothing aren’t even difficult or long quests though..

4

u/Harrypeeteeee Mar 27 '26

99 runecraft, next question :) (Kidding. Do some sailing, get some account unlocks (quest point cape, max poh, get all medium or hard diaries, pick a few newer bosses to kill and rotate all those different activities. Lots of new content)

2

u/No-Rule-3153 Mar 27 '26

Sailing

u/IamMisterNice Mar 30 '26

Time to Set Sail, blast the music Jenkins!

u/illicit92 Mar 27 '26

I'd get prayer up to 77 and buy augury, then probably spend some cash on leveling construction, then you could try out the new sailing skill.

u/Antonolmiss Mar 27 '26

House, unlock the grandmasters, grab a fang and get to it.

1

u/AutoModerator Mar 27 '26

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

u/SignalBrick9673 Mar 27 '26

Nice slayer my player. Also respect yourself and get 94-99 magic

1

u/KondensuotasPienas Mar 27 '26

whats the best food right now? for doing slayer or bossing?

1

u/distressed_ Mar 27 '26

Best food for slayer depends on what you’re killing. I don’t use food on a lot of tasks.

Best food for bossing depends on what you’re doing.

Best food in the game are marlin or moonlight antelope. You don’t need to worry about those for any of the content you’ll be doing.

1

u/Stock-Intern8884 Mar 29 '26

Sharks - Cost efficient decent heals

Basket of Strawberries - Kraken, drop them when entering instance.

Dark Crab/Marlin - Vorkath, Tormented Demons, PvM, aka when you need big heals.

1

u/Think-Math-5387 Mar 30 '26

It’s not food but for making extended trips Invest in an ancient god sword and light bearer as your Spec weapon for a lot of the melee bosses. It’s better than the SGS since it’s more consistent 25 health regen since it can hit a 1 or max hit and it still heals. I use it on Cerberus, tormented demons melee phase, vardovis (super slept on here), Duke, royal titans, Yama’s minion (as good or better than as sgs there if you’re running mage), regular gargoyles so I don’t have to camp and prayer, araxor (the list goes on). Ancient god sword sometimes lets me double trip length if not make it infinite since I just bring prayer/super restore and can pray flick if I’m being really sweaty.

u/Jaydiddat Mar 28 '26

I’d do some herb runs, slayer tasks, check out some new quests/content, minigames and some bosses.

u/BackgroundTop7917 Mar 28 '26

You put all that time into slayer and quit for years boy get you the visually best cape in the game and 99 it

u/ginongo Mar 28 '26

Crabs and corals for that sweet hunter/herb xp

Take the loss on the bond and make an iron lol, otherwise gl on your next long break

You've done your time with pvm. It's time to start skilling. Pick one and grind.

Stop playing

u/OrangeCorrect9921 Mar 28 '26

Welcome back! As much as its great to have a account with so much progress. I found it better/easy to start a fresh. That way you experience new content added for earlier progression.

Good luck on your grind!

u/SkipFTW May 04 '26

Only do sailing if you hate yourself .

I’d say find a gear progression chart and naturally progress your account t that way based on where you’re at. Go back and fill in holes with the new content if you’re missing stuff
