might be a spoiler so you can just not read this also just want to say love the videos can't wait for more: not sure how long it actually took you to get your farming up to 62, to grow snapdragons, however you were on the right track with the implings Nature Implings drop rate for snapdragons is 1/100 would take up to 25 hours just to get a single snapdragon from them. But since this is 2 weeks after posted I am sure you already have everything needed and probably making/editing the new video right now.
On this episode of unguided, we speedrun a gambling addiction and come to the realization that there’s no substitute for an honest day’s work on the farm
Alien Food is officially the first person to ever do Tithe Farm with a single, normal watering can. This might be the most insane thing he's done on the account yet.
A small thing I love about this series is how loud the clicking is, it genuinely makes it feel so much more nostalgic and fits the theme of the series perfectly
I appreciate you doing episodes like this that doesn't necessarily have a ton of "actual" progress, like quests or bosses, but instead just skilling. Because one issue of this game is how long things start taking. But you just doing skilling grinds and still recording and sharing all your thoughts and ideas is just so chill to listen to and still immensely entertaining. And that's the true mark of quality content and a great creator. Please keep doing this regardless of what you're up to
@@AlienFoodage this episode made me laugh more than any of the questing ones. You're so real for going "ok let's get a whole inventory of gout weed" - "never mind I got bored let's send it with these 13"
its not even that its the sinister chest he is using that gets me, its that he is getting his keys from magpie implings xD that is golden. I farm sinister keys on my hcim, theyre a 1/12 drop from the mob I kill. Its hilarious.
@@brgod I think they're actually the rarest in terms of these super old methods of getting herbs because Snapdragons were added to the game about 2 years after the other herbs. So all of these "archaic" methods of getting herbs- druids, sinister keys, goutweed- weren't updated with the new herb on their drop table. That's my guess anyway.
As someone who was playing when snapdragon first came out, snapdragon and another herb are elusive for a specific reason. Your dedication to going unguided is a pleasure to watch. As someone who has actually not looked at the wiki for the answers because I'm so enamored by your gameplay, I gasped at the final reveal. God's speed and lots of love from a guy who has been playing since 2002.

Honestly one of the best series out there. So much fun to watch. Also a great source for Wiki edits. I've edited a few pages on the Wiki with information I found out through this episode. I won't spoil what exactly it is, because knowing the Wiki quite well, it's actually a matter of extrapolating other information that you don't have at the moment, but let's just say that the drop table for Sanfew was showing clean herbs as rewards, while they clearly are not rewarded in their clean form.
I recently got my first skillcape, the farming cape, and it’s great to see you crack and finally accept that farming is the best content runescape has to offer. Fantastic video as always! can’t wait to see where this journey leads!
It is so funny to watch, passing by karamja right by the arena passing nature implings left and right to find magpies for sinister keys that give a set amount of herbs. I love your suffering.
It's actually crazy how much time he's wasting to avoid farming, when he could be farming *during* all this as a backup plan. This is the quintessential farming-hater experience (I hated it too until I actually learned it)
i also used to hate farming, only ever did daily fruit tree runs on the old main till i started my ironman. Now i'm closing in on 93 farming and do multiple full allotment/flower/herb runs every day (as long as i have seeds) and i kinda love it... its such "fast" xp in terms of actual time spent and extremely useful on iron. Then again, my iron has completely renewed my love for osrs after quitting for a couple years. Iron is closing in on 2k total
to be completely fair when he is missing a lot of crucial teleports (which he wont know about unless he cheats or gets really lucky), and for whatever reason doesn't want to use notes to record his route/inventory layout (even without relying on a plugin to do it he can still write down notes), then farming is pretty fucking tedious. What to a normal player is a quick 5mins for 200k xp, would take him 30 mins to do and he would run out of seeds after 2 runs (because he isnt generating many seeds as he isn't doing birdhouses) And then birdhouses have their own issues, namely teleports. How the actual fuck will he ever discover the teleport there? It is the most convoluted shit using weird side content no one has touched before. Without said teleport, he would run from varrock every time. That turns a 2min birdhouse run into 5-10mins. And then the item required to make birdhouses ... yeah goodluck. So I fully understand the hate for farming. It's usually tolerable but given his extremely struct conditions, it is unbearably painful.
Man this is honestly one of my favourite series of all time, getting your train of thought is just so entertaining! As the game gets more complex, you might want to try actively exploring new areas you reach, or even ones you have already been to. Like checking out shops, skilling locations, minigame rewards, etc. whenever you find yourself in an area you're unfemiliar with. Just like the farming outfit you stumbled upon. You can get some pretty neat stuff from certain locations which might help you later on!
Just spent the whole week bingeing this series every day after work. What your doing is genuinely so important to me, it's like watching a mirror image of my first experiences playing this game back in 2006,, and made even better that my wife (whose never played rs before) is hooked on it too and loving all of it!
Thanks so much to the both of you for the support! I absolutely love to hear people enjoying the series and even moreso when it’s multiple people watching together! Thanks again
For those wondering and dont know (alien food, if you dont want spoilers or havent looked it up yourself, dont read on) - snapdragons were added to the game later than other herbs, along with toadflax. Snapdragon and toadflax were added in 2004 with the agility arena, and added to the farming skill when that was released. Nature imps would have worked eventually, but unfortunately AF stopped trying those The sinister key was released in 2002 and always gives the same herbs upon opening. Goutweed, herb boxes, and chaos druids dont give snapdragons because they roll from the standard herb drop table, which because that was before snapdragons existed, doesnt contain them or toadflax as a reward.
I feel like that ending basically defined Runescape for lots of us. And we just keep coming back lol. Loving the series. I just binged all the episodes and now I'm finally caught up to the current one. I can't wait to see your next shenanigans, although I have to now lol. Good luck dude!
i'm finally caught up after discovering this series and i'm so happy i can watch these as they pop into my feed now!! also it made me so happy to see you enjoying tithe farm! it's easily my favorite minigame and i also am not a huge farming fan LMAO. funny how that works
No spoilers, but there's lore reasons why you're not getting both Toadflax & Snapdragon herbs. They're not native to the areas of Gielinor you have been. When they are cultivated they quickly take over gardens and choke out other plants; they are a weed with little practical use to non-adventurers. All item sources are consistent with this lore which is very cool for most people.
Legitimately did not understand that snapdragons are on a rare herb droptable because I have done some pvm. You taught me that today man. I love the increase in game knowledge. And I always do new quests Unguided. So much fun. Keep it up bruv! Keep fishin for the sack!
Such quality content and commentating! You're literally trying to get a snapdragon and I'm enjoying my time watching you. Also an idea, you should mark down every item you had a lot trouble getting and if/when you finish the account make a video where you check the wiki how to get said items efficiently. The face palming of that video would definately be worth a watch.
I used to hate farming much in the same way that you do, preferring an active method over the passive runs, but when I made myself write down a route + inventory (either on runelite or physical notepaper) it got a lot better. I usually don't bother with protection and just let the compost do what it can. Hunter I don't think I'll ever like training, though.
I like how this "im questing without guides channel" has become a gardening TV show with a host who doesn't really know what the hell is goin on. Anyhow, love it and keep it coming. Your struggles make mine seem so much easier.
So glad to see you uploaded a new episode! A couple of days ago I finished watching all previous episodes, I considered rewatching everything while waiting for the new upload, but here you are! Honestly such a good and unique series, it got me hooked, it’s so fun to watch you explore and enjoy the game. Going to grab some snacks now and chill for 47 mins :)
A big reason that Snapdragon is so much more rare is that it was actually released later, after most of the other herbs and after most of the content you tried was made. And Jagex never revisit old content to update droptables. Though that doesn't really explain why the herb boxes don't either, but that could be a balancing thing since Snapdragon is (was) the most expensive herb - partly because nothing dropped them before anyway.
Snapdragon was intentionally made more rare becuse super restores (along with sara brews) were considered precious endgame items, so the herbs that make them had to be more rare than the rest. That is why lantadyme (added in the same patch as snapdragon and toadflax) is not regular herb drop tables but the other two aren't As for why Jagex didn't add it to content after OSRS released, probably for the same reason all new Runecrafting methods are terrible xp - it's how it always was and they don't want to change it
@exantiuse497 Looking at the wiki, they have added other sources for Snapdragons, grimy and clean, but most of them seem to either be high-level PvM inaccessible to Alien Food right now, or obscure content that he probably doesn't know about and even if he does he has no reason to consider it as an option and keep at it long enough to get a drop. Haven't finished the video yet to see if/how he manages to get one, but I really hope some day he stumbles on the Agility Arena and realizes his multi day search and grind could have been a quick 30 minute task. I mean it's good content, but it'll be a frustrating discovery.
IIRC before farming was released, the only way to get toadflax and snaps was from the brimhaven agil mini game. They were the two special reward herbs that were separate from the regular herb drop table.
man i am coming back to this video whenever i have a bad day or need a laugh. i cant tell you how many times this video made me grin. i am very sorry for this misery but know you made someone happy atleast.
Stellar episode once again. Tithe Farm is one of those minigames where all the rewards (outside of the Herb box tbh LOL) are absolutely worth the work. Highly recommend the seed box and herb sack for QOL. Also, to answer why Snapdragon (and Toadflax) are so elusive, check out the herblore guide for what potions they turn into. Also also, you might have missed it, but you did unlock access to the farming guild. Might be worth checking out if youve never been, given your hatred of farming. and lastly also also also (Honestly your videos are so good its hard to resist commenting until the end) now that Varlamore is fully out once you finish up this arc of Unguided, an exploring Varlamore arc would be pretty cool. (or maybe now is the time with the grind you just realized?)
Hello Mr. Food, I just wanted to say thank you for making this series. I've just moved in to a new place and I heard about you in one of J1mmy's last By Release episodes. In the last few weeks I've watched every episode and when times have got a bit lonely, watching you complete these quests has been deeply amusing, greatly inspiring and also fantastic company. The subtle comedic work that goes into these videos never fails to put a smile on my face, and there is an unmatched cosy vibe to your videos that I've not found anywhere else. So excited to follow along as you release the episodes now! Cheers for all the hard work.
@@AlienFoodage You're welcome, and thank you for getting back to me! That's very kind of you. I'm settling great thanks, rooting for you through your painful farming grind 😅
Snapdragons were added to RuneScape in 2004. Most of those herb sources were added in 2002 with the introduction of Herblore. That is why you can't find them on those drop tables.
I've been looking forward to this! Especially after the grand finale of By Release, this is easily by far my favourite Runescape questing series running now.
The only logical progression to this is that eventually someone needs to do an Unguided By Release series lmao. Or maybe even a Group Ironman Unguided where you can at least bounce your ideas off of other people
I was planning on clicking this video, jumping through to get the info and dipping, now Im 25mins in and hooked. Damn you and your good content, I was supposed to sleep tonight 😂
Absolutely love this series. Guys way of playing scape is something else and a joy to watch along with. The amount of times I'm screaming at my TV over his choices is unreasonable though😅
My cat likes watching as well he sat on my lap and watched the whole thing with me, something he never normally does so thank you for helping relax my cat as well :)
Alien food, if it weren't for you, i wouldnt have touched RS at all this year, I'd have skipped leagues too Every one of your videos makes the game seem so fun and you're really reminding me of the right way to play this game Absolute gem of a channel
Love the fact that you like the farm outfit. The little bonus (you hinted at knowing) is nice, since exp is exp. Also, it is good fashionscape. Also, that ending... Looool! Can't wait to see how you tackle that next episode.
No complaining about the points allowed, here. Used to be that you wouldnt get any points until you deposited 75 fruits, and you were limited to 100 seeds in the first place.
This series was one to finally push me to finish idly tending my RS3 account and finally take the plunge and start over in Old School. And it's great, apart from the walking. Dear god, the walking.
What makes this series so great to watch for me, is that I don't play Runescape at all but lose watching good content on it. There's so much I don't have a clue about either, so I really understand your progress as I'm clueless!
Its so funny watching him legit dodge the best item for helping his grind in the watering can so heavily. Like man did not even bring it up cause he thinks its worthless when it would have saved him about half his time on the grind
Snapdragons released in 2004. Most of members' area (including most of herblore and the herbs) released in 2002. Farming isn't strictly needed though - you just haven't found a drop source/skilling source
Almost 7k views already! Honestly you're the only ytber currently I watch just as they upload this has been really fun (averaging double your sub count in views is nuts too honestly)
The thing with snapdragons and toadflaxes is that, when they were first introduced, they were available only as rewards from a specific piece of content (which was released on the same day as the herbs). Later, when Farming was finally added to the game, Snaps and Toads were made available thru Farming, but were not added to any PvM herb drop tables
Looks like you've officially gotten too big to safely read comments, lots of people with little spoilers here and there. Unfortunate, but I'm really happy for your success. Great ep :)
"caught a bunch of nature imps" we see on the magic butterfly net early in the video he got 12 before giving up on them for magpies- hardly enough to see even its whole common drop table with any amount of luck,
Even though I have barely played osrs I still love watching content related to it, your series is one of my favorites keep on making this amazing content
I love that you're so dead set on training methods in the game that you can enjoy! That's exactly how I play and my friends constantly try to get me to do efficient method but NO THANK YOU! I don't want to log in to stand at one place and click the same 4 places... I'll do the active method over the AFK method every time!

What to a normal player is a quick 5mins for 200k xp, would take him 30 mins to do and he would run out of seeds after 2 runs (because he isnt generating many seeds as he isn't doing birdhouses)
And then birdhouses have their own issues, namely teleports. How the actual fuck will he ever discover the teleport there? It is the most convoluted shit using weird side content no one has touched before. Without said teleport, he would run from varrock every time. That turns a 2min birdhouse run into 5-10mins. And then the item required to make birdhouses ... yeah goodluck.
So I fully understand the hate for farming. It's usually tolerable but given his extremely struct conditions, it is unbearably painful.
Man this is honestly one of my favourite series of all time, getting your train of thought is just so entertaining!
As the game gets more complex, you might want to try actively exploring new areas you reach, or even ones you have already been to. Like checking out shops, skilling locations, minigame rewards, etc. whenever you find yourself in an area you're unfemiliar with. Just like the farming outfit you stumbled upon. You can get some pretty neat stuff from certain locations which might help you later on!
Never click on a video faster than when I see unguided pop up. This series is like crack
aw man i was hoping the medium karamja task would make you look at the other karamja medium diary tasks
Wow that would have been a crazy butterfly effect to lead him in the right direction
Just as with the planks and lamp oil, I spend the episode screaming at the screen. The urge to slip you some hints keeps growing. I must resist.
Just spent the whole week bingeing this series every day after work. What your doing is genuinely so important to me, it's like watching a mirror image of my first experiences playing this game back in 2006,, and made even better that my wife (whose never played rs before) is hooked on it too and loving all of it!
Thanks so much to the both of you for the support! I absolutely love to hear people enjoying the series and even moreso when it’s multiple people watching together! Thanks again
For those wondering and dont know (alien food, if you dont want spoilers or havent looked it up yourself, dont read on) - snapdragons were added to the game later than other herbs, along with toadflax. Snapdragon and toadflax were added in 2004 with the agility arena, and added to the farming skill when that was released.
Nature imps would have worked eventually, but unfortunately AF stopped trying those
The sinister key was released in 2002 and always gives the same herbs upon opening.
Goutweed, herb boxes, and chaos druids dont give snapdragons because they roll from the standard herb drop table, which because that was before snapdragons existed, doesnt contain them or toadflax as a reward.
It’s actually so stupid they haven’t updated the herb table
Worse part was that the agility arena has snapdragons for sale :(
I feel like that ending basically defined Runescape for lots of us. And we just keep coming back lol. Loving the series. I just binged all the episodes and now I'm finally caught up to the current one. I can't wait to see your next shenanigans, although I have to now lol. Good luck dude!
All that grinding to realize you can't clean the grimy snapdragon at the end.
I feel so bad for laughing.
i'm finally caught up after discovering this series and i'm so happy i can watch these as they pop into my feed now!!
also it made me so happy to see you enjoying tithe farm! it's easily my favorite minigame and i also am not a huge farming fan LMAO. funny how that works
No spoilers, but there's lore reasons why you're not getting both Toadflax & Snapdragon herbs.
They're not native to the areas of Gielinor you have been. When they are cultivated they quickly take over gardens and choke out other plants; they are a weed with little practical use to non-adventurers.
All item sources are consistent with this lore which is very cool for most people.
Legitimately did not understand that snapdragons are on a rare herb droptable because I have done some pvm. You taught me that today man. I love the increase in game knowledge. And I always do new quests Unguided. So much fun. Keep it up bruv! Keep fishin for the sack!
The MVP of OSRS uploads is back!
Such quality content and commentating! You're literally trying to get a snapdragon and I'm enjoying my time watching you. Also an idea, you should mark down every item you had a lot trouble getting and if/when you finish the account make a video where you check the wiki how to get said items efficiently. The face palming of that video would definately be worth a watch.
This man knows when to upload perfectly
I used to hate farming much in the same way that you do, preferring an active method over the passive runs, but when I made myself write down a route + inventory (either on runelite or physical notepaper) it got a lot better. I usually don't bother with protection and just let the compost do what it can.
Hunter I don't think I'll ever like training, though.
I like how this "im questing without guides channel" has become a gardening TV show with a host who doesn't really know what the hell is goin on. Anyhow, love it and keep it coming. Your struggles make mine seem so much easier.
Once again the best series on UA-cam. Another great episode. Please never stop being yourself. It’s so entertaining 😂
this might be the most frustrating episode of this series so far. nice work!
Bruh it hurt so much knowing wat drops em
So glad to see you uploaded a new episode! A couple of days ago I finished watching all previous episodes, I considered rewatching everything while waiting for the new upload, but here you are! Honestly such a good and unique series, it got me hooked, it’s so fun to watch you explore and enjoy the game. Going to grab some snacks now and chill for 47 mins :)
That last herb box was absolutely trying to send him a message, save him from himself hahaha
Edit: It wasn't his last...
Quality 10/10 episode, I knew the snappy D cleaning incident was coming and it did not disappoint!
A big reason that Snapdragon is so much more rare is that it was actually released later, after most of the other herbs and after most of the content you tried was made. And Jagex never revisit old content to update droptables. Though that doesn't really explain why the herb boxes don't either, but that could be a balancing thing since Snapdragon is (was) the most expensive herb - partly because nothing dropped them before anyway.
Snapdragon was intentionally made more rare becuse super restores (along with sara brews) were considered precious endgame items, so the herbs that make them had to be more rare than the rest. That is why lantadyme (added in the same patch as snapdragon and toadflax) is not regular herb drop tables but the other two aren't
As for why Jagex didn't add it to content after OSRS released, probably for the same reason all new Runecrafting methods are terrible xp - it's how it always was and they don't want to change it
@exantiuse497 Looking at the wiki, they have added other sources for Snapdragons, grimy and clean, but most of them seem to either be high-level PvM inaccessible to Alien Food right now, or obscure content that he probably doesn't know about and even if he does he has no reason to consider it as an option and keep at it long enough to get a drop.
Haven't finished the video yet to see if/how he manages to get one, but I really hope some day he stumbles on the Agility Arena and realizes his multi day search and grind could have been a quick 30 minute task.
I mean it's good content, but it'll be a frustrating discovery.
IIRC before farming was released, the only way to get toadflax and snaps was from the brimhaven agil mini game. They were the two special reward herbs that were separate from the regular herb drop table.
Lantadyme was released with RS2, Snaps were added 4 months later. @exantiuse497
man i am coming back to this video whenever i have a bad day or need a laugh. i cant tell you how many times this video made me grin. i am very sorry for this misery but know you made someone happy atleast.
Me since last episode: "Huh, maybe Alien Food knows some big brain way to clean herbs without the herb level?"
It exists, but whether or not he knows is another question lol
@jrk41599 He has talked to the NPC needed to clean herbs before.
@@jrk41599 Given his reaction at the end, he almost certainly doesn't lmao
Stellar episode once again. Tithe Farm is one of those minigames where all the rewards (outside of the Herb box tbh LOL) are absolutely worth the work. Highly recommend the seed box and herb sack for QOL.
Also, to answer why Snapdragon (and Toadflax) are so elusive, check out the herblore guide for what potions they turn into.
Also also, you might have missed it, but you did unlock access to the farming guild. Might be worth checking out if youve never been, given your hatred of farming.
and lastly also also also (Honestly your videos are so good its hard to resist commenting until the end) now that Varlamore is fully out once you finish up this arc of Unguided, an exploring Varlamore arc would be pretty cool. (or maybe now is the time with the grind you just realized?)
How does this man avoid spoilers, willpower of a saint/Shaolin monk combined
Hello Mr. Food, I just wanted to say thank you for making this series. I've just moved in to a new place and I heard about you in one of J1mmy's last By Release episodes. In the last few weeks I've watched every episode and when times have got a bit lonely, watching you complete these quests has been deeply amusing, greatly inspiring and also fantastic company. The subtle comedic work that goes into these videos never fails to put a smile on my face, and there is an unmatched cosy vibe to your videos that I've not found anywhere else. So excited to follow along as you release the episodes now! Cheers for all the hard work.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment
@@AlienFoodage You're welcome, and thank you for getting back to me! That's very kind of you. I'm settling great thanks, rooting for you through your painful farming grind 😅
Snapdragons were added to RuneScape in 2004. Most of those herb sources were added in 2002 with the introduction of Herblore. That is why you can't find them on those drop tables.
thats a shitty excuse for it. if you add item to the game then ADD it to the game and not just 1 spot you can get them like a lazy bum jagex is
this is the best osrs series out rn. it's not even close. im so ecstatic every time i open yt and alien food is on my front page.
I've been looking forward to this! Especially after the grand finale of By Release, this is easily by far my favourite Runescape questing series running now.
The only logical progression to this is that eventually someone needs to do an Unguided By Release series lmao. Or maybe even a Group Ironman Unguided where you can at least bounce your ideas off of other people
I was planning on clicking this video, jumping through to get the info and dipping, now Im 25mins in and hooked.
Damn you and your good content, I was supposed to sleep tonight 😂
genuinely addicted to this series
Absolutely love this series. Guys way of playing scape is something else and a joy to watch along with. The amount of times I'm screaming at my TV over his choices is unreasonable though😅
"guam, guam, guam, gaum...." you get what you deserve!!! lol
I'm just getting into the series and it makes me so happy to see you're still on it! Love watching in the background while grinding ❤❤
sweet! new Unguided! *clears schedule for the next 45 minutes*
My cat likes watching as well he sat on my lap and watched the whole thing with me, something he never normally does so thank you for helping relax my cat as well :)
Babe, wake up, new Unguided just dropped
*wakes up*
Oh, nice! 😊
Alien food, if it weren't for you, i wouldnt have touched RS at all this year, I'd have skipped leagues too
Every one of your videos makes the game seem so fun and you're really reminding me of the right way to play this game
Absolute gem of a channel
Just elevated my friday night thanks man
The last 30 seconds of this video is why I love this series and why I love OSRS. 😆
This is exactly what I needed today. Fuckin' get that herb man.
Love the fact that you like the farm outfit. The little bonus (you hinted at knowing) is nice, since exp is exp. Also, it is good fashionscape. Also, that ending... Looool! Can't wait to see how you tackle that next episode.
No complaining about the points allowed, here. Used to be that you wouldnt get any points until you deposited 75 fruits, and you were limited to 100 seeds in the first place.
This series was one to finally push me to finish idly tending my RS3 account and finally take the plunge and start over in Old School. And it's great, apart from the walking. Dear god, the walking.
What makes this series so great to watch for me, is that I don't play Runescape at all but lose watching good content on it. There's so much I don't have a clue about either, so I really understand your progress as I'm clueless!
I laughed out loud multiple times. this is the best osrs series going right now. GET IN!!!
Its so funny watching him legit dodge the best item for helping his grind in the watering can so heavily. Like man did not even bring it up cause he thinks its worthless when it would have saved him about half his time on the grind
The drip was more important to him and I respect it
@@clairehickey9368 oh I meant after the drip when he went over what he could get at the end.
I love this series!! I'll be along for the ride until you're finished. Here's to DSII, DTII and beyond!
Nothing like unguided and beef stew in the morning
Snapdragons released in 2004. Most of members' area (including most of herblore and the herbs) released in 2002.
Farming isn't strictly needed though - you just haven't found a drop source/skilling source
One day you are going to know, and on that day I want you to remember that I knew, and because I knew, I screamed at the screen for around 45 minutes.
Almost 7k views already! Honestly you're the only ytber currently I watch just as they upload this has been really fun (averaging double your sub count in views is nuts too honestly)
lmfao that last herb box from tithe was so fucking sad
The thing with snapdragons and toadflaxes is that, when they were first introduced, they were available only as rewards from a specific piece of content (which was released on the same day as the herbs). Later, when Farming was finally added to the game, Snaps and Toads were made available thru Farming, but were not added to any PvM herb drop tables
Guys come and watch the legend Alien food is on!
I saw that ending coming the whole time lmao. Love it.
Looks like you've officially gotten too big to safely read comments, lots of people with little spoilers here and there. Unfortunate, but I'm really happy for your success. Great ep :)
This really is the best OSRS series. Thank you mr food.
"caught a bunch of nature imps" we see on the magic butterfly net early in the video he got 12 before giving up on them for magpies- hardly enough to see even its whole common drop table with any amount of luck,
Even though I have barely played osrs I still love watching content related to it, your series is one of my favorites keep on making this amazing content
Ooh boy we're back
Addicted to this series.
I love that you're so dead set on training methods in the game that you can enjoy! That's exactly how I play and my friends constantly try to get me to do efficient method but NO THANK YOU! I don't want to log in to stand at one place and click the same 4 places... I'll do the active method over the AFK method every time!
That ending is just A+. Love the series. Keep it up.
Cant believe the snapdragon arc is going for a 3rd episode 😂😂😂
Mate you’ve outdone yourself again what a banger episode, the Guam/marrentil herb box had me in stitches and the ending is just perfect 😂😂 best series on UA-cam by a long shot
Bro the ending. I thought about this earlier, I'm dead
