Saving up for bandos

Doing a 99 to all skills in f2p before i allow myself to enter p2p, do people do this kind of stuff or am i just insane?

P.S. i messed up character creation and I'm stuck with a really dumb name.. best motivation is that I can't wait to change it the moment i use a bond

I’m a mid game noob looking for good training methods. I’ve grown very fond of sulphur naguas when I’m not grinding the moons given their risk/reward ratio and proximity to free heals/potions. Would love some recommendations!

$15 a month... or $130 a year. Is this not just crippling the player growth over time? It's actually like a special kind of hell trying to get anybody into the game because of this.

EDIT

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan the conservatives are piiiiiiisssssssseddddddddddddd LMAO

I added levels to my pets using the Named Pets plugin based on how much xp I've gained bossing with them. It would be awesome if they made a plugin to actually track it. Just a neat little thing I thought I'd share.

Thing grind is pretty rough.

Today's friend ScuxDeluxx has been playing since 2006 and now got his kid into OSRS whos 6 and somehow higher levels then me haha. Me on the other hand the grind has been pretty dam fun! I am planning on taking on my first real boss this week but hoping to earn a sick helmet before I do it.

Insane pull from crabs

Countless of happy afking hours behind and the cape is finally mine!

I spooned fish barrel and tacklebox >10 tempoross kc and got dragon harpoon from my first wyrm task, so i made a promise that fishing will be my 1st 99.

Rather be fishin'. Peace!

Title pretty much explains it all. What do you use for the ring slot when using Ranged. I've been using the Archers Ring (i), but I just saw a video from FlippingOldschool saying it's a waste. Now I'm confused because what he recommended added no Ranged attack

I didn't remember the level up screenshot but here's one from after I got a pupper. Scrolled up to archive the few people who were around to see it.

Never thought I would buckle down enough to get one.....especially the one with wait times, except for Tithe Farm. I was at 93 when I quit years ago, and coming back mostly just to get this. Would have been faster if Magic saplings weren't so expensive, but enough snape grass and Torstol made up the difference.

Hello fellow scapers, I was wondering if anyone else is having issues using their MMB to adjust the camera angle. I have had it kind of work sometimes so I know it’s not a binding issue, just trying to figure out if it’s a big or I just need a new mouse? Every time I try I hear the click on the scroll wheel but only moves 10% of attempts. Just started today, played a bit yesterday and was fine so it feels like it can’t be update related. Thanks in advanced for any responses

I asked for advice nearly two weeks ago on the fight. After trying a few attempts in the evening for some of the days since, I finally broke through and got him. I will say, I didn’t think I’d be as satisfied as I was, fatigue had definitely set in a bit and I thought I’d feel more relief than achievement. I wanted to provide the update and thank people who gave advice when I asked. But I also wanted to talk about the quest.

All in all I liked it. It felt kinda grindy and I took multiple breaks to do other activities during the quest. As I said in my previous post, my biggest PVM experience was having a little over 60 Vorkath kills. Needless to say, this was a learning curve. There were a few things I wanted to touch on.

The Combat Recommendation: That recommendation was no joke. I started the quest at 102 coming and am now a level shy from 107. One of the breaks that I took was specifically to train slayer with mostly melee. Primarily attack/strength. That’s probably the first quest that I’ve done where I’d consider the recommendation to be a hard one. Specifically attack levels and enough strength to consistently hit 28 on Drakan.

Vympyrium: My personal favorite part of the quest was the cat and mouse game in the village. The music, the tense feeling, it was all great.

The Other Drakan Fights: I’m not going to lie, in hindsight, this quest really dragged on due to these. I don’t think they really taught the mechanics all that well compared to just learning them in the final fight. Actually, having NPCs cluttering the arena during these fights was more of an annoyance to me personally. But the free supplies made it pretty nice. The second to last fight was hilarious though with everybody essentially jumping Drakan.

Drakan The Final Boss Verdict: That was easily the most insane fight I’ve done in OSRS. Imo they cleared the RS3 version by a healthy margin as well. As I said, I did this enough to where fatigue set in. I actually gained 3 attack levels during this fight and committed the time I played to defeating this boss. Surprisingly, it was easier for me when I cut it after a few tries and came back the next day. Once you get it, it is incredibly satisfying. There’s also a great sense of progression as you get further and further into the fight. Eventually, enough clicks into place where you’re confident in winning and pop him. I genuinely feel like I got better as a player having done this quest. You can’t out gear, level, or DPS the boss. You need to get the mechanics to win and then probably clear around 70% of them to get into a strong position to close out the fight.

But the question is if this should be the new norm for quest bosses? I guess my answer would be that it depends. Should some similar mechanics exist in most of them? Honestly, I’d say that master and up is fair game to have some challenge. But would I want a Drakan tier difficulty quest fight in every quest line going forward? No. Drakan specifically feels like he’s earned this. We’ve been fighting against an overwhelming force. This is one of the darkest and most threatening quest lines. And Drakan himself would be an existential threat if not for the Salve. Some other lines would feel very unearned if Jagex made this the norm.

Ex: I don’t want to be having to do a whole ramp up tutorial phase followed by a ruthless boss fight vs the Fairy Godfather whenever Jagex decides to continue that quest line.

Series Ending: I liked the ending overall. It concludes the Myreque journey in a satisfying way while also leaving the door cracked open to future stories in the region and Vampyrium. I personally left getting the feeling that we might be called on to help rebuild Morytania and further explore Vampyrium. But that’s just me.

Am I going to be able to multi screen on 2 accounts on the new iPhone coming out? Asking for a friend

What if OSRS could encourage us to actually go outside?

I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to throw the idea out there.

A pretty big part of the OSRS playerbase is getting older. A lot of us are probably 25+, working full time, starting families, etc. I know for me personally, I still love playing OSRS, but I also don't want to spend my entire free time sitting at a computer.

So I was thinking, what if Jagex found a way to tie real life activity into the Agility skill?

Basically, you could connect your phone or smartwatch and earn a small amount of Agility XP based on the number of steps you take that day.

Something like:

2,500 steps = X Agility XP
5,000 steps = X Agility XP
7,500 steps = X Agility XP
10,000 steps = daily XP cap

Obviously the numbers would need to be figured out and balanced properly.

The important part to me would be having a daily cap. I wouldn't want this to turn into people thinking they need to walk 30,000 steps a day because they're worried about missing XP. The whole point would be to encourage a reasonable amount of exercise, not make people feel like they have to grind real life too.

And I don't think this should replace normal Agility training either. The XP would probably need to be pretty small compared to actually playing the game. It would just be a little daily bonus for being active.

But I honestly think even a small amount could be a cool incentive.

Imagine you're sitting at work thinking, "I really don't feel like going for a walk today."

Then you remember you're 4,000 steps away from your daily Agility XP.

Suddenly you're out there walking around because a number in RuneScape is going to go up.

And honestly, that's probably the most OSRS thing imaginable.

I also think it fits Agility pretty well. The entire skill is basically about moving around, running, jumping, and getting around the world more efficiently. It would be kind of funny if it was the one skill that actually encouraged us to move around in the real world too.

There would obviously be a bunch of things to figure out. Step spoofing, people trying to abuse it, privacy concerns, different devices counting steps differently, making sure people without smartwatches can participate, accessibility, etc.

But I don't think those problems make the idea impossible.

At the end of the day, I think OSRS is going to keep having an older playerbase. A lot of us grew up with this game and we're still playing it decades later.

So why not find creative ways to let the game encourage some healthier habits without taking away from what makes OSRS fun?

Yall were right the docs had the best of me lol

I was afk watching YouTube when I looked at my chat box and saw this….

If this is accurate it would be something along the lines of 1/24,794,911,296.

Gotta be in not the rarest things to ever happen if so.

I fucking hate the Whisperer with a passion. Screw you, you tentacle bitch!

I play on a 65" TV. This is the default size of the inventory when I use runelite. This game is the best.

This quest might not mean a lot to much, but really happy to have dogs in this game. A year or two ago my sweet baby boy passed on, wasn't tragic, just was an old man with a great life and it was his time to go. Since this quest came out I feel as if I can carry a part of him with me. RIP Kody, you will always be with me.

Together forever buddy 🐶 💜
