I'm constantly avoiding people who say "added" after just a few lines of text, I just don't trust people if we get a good drop at said boss that they want to fight, I've been jipped in the past too much lol
Same, im burnt out i usually just all in my bank in the arena and quit for a few weeks then come crawling back rebuilding it all back up. So far im 0-2 and lost over 900m but one day hopefully one of my all ins will come in big and i get have the tbow.
Noth Ing yea I have some weird days where I dnt care if I lose everything but I always regret it the next day. I think in my head I just wanna cheat my way to a tbow by gambling
It's really just a matter of picking your poison. One person drinks, other person smokes. In this case one plays OSRS and the other watches TV all day.
“Finish the grind to start playing” That is the problem with people who burn out, don’t grind to achieve a goal, its the journey to that goal that matters more than achieving the goal itself. For example: remember back in the day how excited you were when you achieved 40 attack and realized you can now equip rune weaponry? Or nowadays you achieve higher attack for higher weaponry and then you don’t even care for the skill anymore, so you passively get it to 99 and don’t even feel excited for it, because the 99 doesn’t matter anymore, only to fill a checkbox because thats one step to max an account. My advice? - don’t be afraid to take the long road to achieve your goals or mix things up, do obscure methods and don’t always be effecient, try new things and I guarantee, that if you honestly try your best to do that and not grind one method endlessly(unless you enjoy that, personally I sometimes enjoy that too) - you won’t burn out that easily!
@@BobbiPhantom Yeah, I watched a video today, which said that before the launch of osrs, we didn't know how to play Runescape2... I would go so far as to say - ever since the launch of osrs, we have forgotten how to play the game and have fun just because its fun. Although, at the very start - it wasn't like that. People were more of a community then. I would know, I was actually playing right after they announced and released it, hah.
Martins Baumanis I play aggressively for about a week or two and quit for a month, but I do stuff I enjoy during that time achieve goals and make improvements but always having fun is the main focus
making an ironman revived the fun of the game for me, I recommend it to anyone burning out, that rewarding feeling you get when you get rare items / drops and even levels is so much greater
This game is already too much of a grind that if you're getting burnt out in the regular game I'm pretty sure making that grind 5 times worse won't help it. Some people? Sure. But most? I don't think so.
@@TheMultiReplayers you'd think so. But the main reason people burn out is a lack of return on their time invested. Ironman gives you constant returns on your time invested. Every little hurdle you face feels great once achieved. On my main most problems are solved with a trip to the GE. Ironmen earn everything, so the sense of accomplishment is greater.
@@sublimer2091 yeah im considering making an ironman because of that. Actually needing to do lots of different content instead of just being able to grind vorkath for 500 hours to buy everything you want seems more fun to me.
Personally, Mon-Fri I do afk Skilling while I study, Ruck on a treadmill, work and lift. the more afk the better. Sat and sunday is for bossing, questing, clues, and diary. So I only really play on the weekend and I look forward to it, while I grind out requirements mindlessly as secondary focus to my normal week
Andreas Osiander my favorite is ammonite crabs. Use runelite to notify you when the aggression timer is up. Only have to click once every 10 mins. I also take a sip of a potion when I reset aggro
You're absolutely right. It's all about how you play. I had a little over 500 days of play time on RS3 (started in 2006), before switching to oldschool, and I've never really felt burnt out. Work, hobbies and other games should always be a part of your life. But shout out to those guys that can play 18 hours a day everyday for years, that's a whole different level of dedication.
I used to try and level skills 1-99 when I was a kid and I used to get so burnt out so easily. Now I just space everything out and will train a skill for about an hour at a time and mix in a couple quests and I haven't gotten bored since
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your goal of completing the PvM collection log. That juicy max cape is in my near future and my anxiety was building in deciding what to do next (same thing happened when I maxed in early RS3 and I basically stopped logging into the game 'cause I was "done")... Going for the PvM collection log sounds both fun and a very long term goal so I think I'm going to have to steal that idea from you! Thanks again!
I've found playing other games is key to keeping interest. If you're staring at your monitor for hours while you fish or woodcut, you're doing it wrong. Throw that afk shit on mobile or a second monitor and go do something actually interesting.
well, now during the corona pandemic i did 90-95 rc/mining/ and 90-99agil/fishing all day everyday for 12-18 hours/day.. i guess people like me dont know how to burn out =D for me the key is to simply bingewatch some series or movies on netflix.. or play some poker tournaments that can last over 10 hours.. at the end of the day i realize i got 600k agility exp done and im like 0.0 how did i do that haha just dont focus on runescape but on something else if you doing the afk stuff. easy peasy
Netflix or other binge worthy shows is all you need to keep yourself from burning out. As well as an active social cc that is local to your state or country
I keep burning out from trying to finish my alchemical hydra task on my ironman. I dislike this boss, but the rewards it gives are too good to ignore/ skip this task only boss. Thanks for making this vid man, appreciate it.
Just found your channel recently but your videos are great. I've gotten burnt out a lot, both on rs as well as many other similar games. Definitely agree that it's important to play or do other things at least some too, as to not get burnt out. I've kinda started following a system for myself where when I first get on my pc for the day to play games. I'll usually start by playing something more focused/less afkable such as league(if I feel like playing it), and then once I start to get tired of that(or tilted), I'll then get on rs or something else. This seems to be helping me combat the sort of fatigue you mentioned where I otherwise might at some point be like "ugh why am I even playing this", since I'd otherwise be constantly playing rs. I think it helps too to try to relax a bit when playing and not worry too much about efficiency, which I used to be bad about mentally. Otherwise it'll likely feel like a chore when you feel like you *have* to constantly login and play so that you dont lose that potential "efficiency". If you've played retail WoW in the past few years, you'll know what I mean full well as that game has slowly but surely transitioned its design model to that exact "chore" mentality. Aka being coerced into logging in constantly to do your long list of seemingly pointless dailies.
Good video, uploaded around the right time for me too as I’m slowly grinding Herblore for quest requirements and it’s wank. Something I like to do though is write a list of short term and long term goals to achieve so if finding myself stuck of something to do, look at this list and start progressing towards an objective. Once you’ve completed something you’ve wanted to do like that it’s a sense of accomplishment and perks you up for the next thing.
Exactly this. My goal is the quest Cape as well, and because it comes with a long term goal plus other minor long term goals (actually getting high enough construction to start setting up my house is one of them), as well as a lot of short term goals, it easily spreads them out. Will do slayer here, hunter there, con for a bit, maybe some herblore. always mixing it up so I never get boredm
Dude building the alt is such a good tip. I'm working on maxing but hate doing AFK content and I don't really enjoy sweaty methods for anything other than bossing. I've been building a rune dragon alt for the past little bit now and have never made so much progress on my main for afk skills. It also feels good to have a lower level account that doesn't take 4+ hours to get one level in your lowest skill. XP comes in slower but slow consistent xp is better than fast xp where you burn out quickly. 10/10 would recommend building out an alt to do more fun content while working on maxing a main.
I think friends on osrs is a big one. It’s always nice to log on and see a friend you can boss with or just chill out and chat and skill with. Gets quite lonely and boring on your own. I have burned out many times but that’s down to not having enough time to put into the game at this point in my life and wanting to do/play other games when I get the chance. I still play a few hours a week though.
I've also found setting a high goal with multiple requirements is something to help space things out too. Like mine right now is the quest Cape, which requires hours of grinding every skill. Only 8 more skills to go. I've also been doing quests and bossing on the side when I found grinding too much, as well as other fun content. It all leads to that Cape, so it all works out.
Getting the quest cape and diaries was one of the ways I alleviated burn out myself, for a time anyway. I recently got back into it and I still have to finish up the song of the elves (got to the seren fragment before I had to go to work) and the fremmenik exiles quest and I get it back. The cape is also amazing for a discount con cape as well I used it on a daily basis.
I always make sure I'm planned ahead and have goals for the future. Keeps me motivated to get to that new content and saves me from finishing what I'm working on and spending a lot of time asking "what's next?"
Joining an active CC helps a lot. And One thing I like to do is profit skills combat/slayer included and then use the profits on the buyable skills with a goal in mind (83 Construction for me)
u forgot the most important of all: play on fixed mode, put it in a tiny corner of ur screen, do some AFK skill to 99, and just multitask like crazy, watch videos, chat etc.. free account progressoion without even focusing on the game or playing
Easier to not burn out: Set EHP goals, not XP goals. Not sure I would recommend CML as some of their ads are distasteful lately. Whenever you find yourself doing a bank-standing skill like crafting, herblore(assuming you're not doing EHP Herblore rates) try and set up an alt to make money on the side. I find Rune Dragons , Wyverns, or even some other semi-afk alt keeps your mind floating, which allows you to enjoy the game while your main progresses with it's AFK xp. Another skill you can play alts and keep efficient rates would be agility as well! Anytime you have the chance to 3-tick, 2-tick, or 1-tick a skill... You should. Too much AFK will burn you out, as it will make you just see RuneScape as a cookie clicker game. Not playing alts as well on the AFK grinds will also give you the AFK Heroes vibe. If you don't even want to commit to fully leveling an alt up, currently Oak Trees are 200K+ GP/h in F2P ... Combo that with something like crafting/agi you can get a lot of passive gp, passive mind power, and inevitably 99 crafting 😎
efficent hours played as advice to NOT burn out is a terrible idea whos not going to want to stop playing after non stop tick efficient skilling lol that's my opinion anyways but everyone's different
I've alternated between WoW and RS since the day they came out. Being basically polar opposites of each other makes going back to either one after a couple years a massive breath of fresh air.
My anti burn out, at least for me isnt based so much on high level maxing but the whole early to mid-late grind where bossing is minimal and skilling is unoptimised is training for quest and diaries. My main goal from level 3 was to get a quest cape, i finally got one and had base 70 stats and all the medium diaries done, now im going for all hard diaries and its made me get my combat to 100, and a lot of skills past 70. Not to mention a lot of other things, i also want to get all XP boosting outfits, and graceful recolour. Having the mini goals for me is really keeping me going with no fatigue and by the time i have done all the hard or elite diaries my account will be great for bossing and ill have a solid foundation in all my skills. I burned out back in 2007 as i was one of those accounts that only ever really trained combat and one skill and got burned out but now my account is well rounded i am loving every part of it.
I play other games with RuneScape in the background. There's a lot of skills that are good to do in the background while still having some level of work on your account. Right now, I'm playing Jedi fallen order while smithing a few thousand cannonballs between birdhouses runs for basically passive income to improve my account when I feel like doing other shit
I feel like afking all the time and never having anyone to interact with burned me out at one point. I’ve been trying to make an effort to change that and it’s definitely resparked my interest. Also playing other games helps with keeping the game fresh for me :)
Whenever I have a long grind that I want to break up I usually go do something like afk fishing and just relax and watch videos or a movie. Definitely helps
Yeah I'm almost always doing other games while playing rs. Been playing a lot of Legends of Runeterra lately, great online card game and good to play while afking
Getting burned out was one of the reasons I have no interest in maxing even after a yr of playing because I see all these maxed accounts doing slayer or fishing and other stuff and dont know why they do it if they're already maxed, but this kinda helped
I train slayer if I feel like playing, zeah RC if I wanna watch videos or something and chill, and mine amethyst if I wanna play a different game like league or duty. It's nice having options based on what other thing I feel like doing.
I can confirm. The only reason I maxed in OSRS was because I made an ironman. When grinding out the boring afk skills on my main, I made great progress on my ironman. And when I had to do something more active on my main to max, I afked on my ironman and stocked up on fish or some shit.
I know this vid is quite a few months old but if anyone reads this try -do a couple of medium clues -kill Vorkath a couple times -then kill Zulrah a couple times -maybe do a farm run -one skill level a day -magic xp at Mm2 caves for an hour There’s a lot to do in OSRS...
yeah alot of the stuff you mentioned I do like when im waiting for a match in overwatch it can take like 10 mins sometimes so I play osrs on the side or I play on my alt for fun and do slayer since its my favorite skill since its pretty diverse while my main I just do a boring skill like agility.
People forget it's a game. I have in-game friends always asking me whether they should work towards goal A or goal B and I always say "what do you feel like doing?" Have fun and if you're not log out and come back later.
Making an iron man is a good option if you haven't done so yet. It's like replaying the game because you have to take steps you have never done. You are also excluded from the botched economy of 2020 Runescape.
I have a very strange burnt out thing, i level a skill to 99 and start slayer and get burnt out then i take a break for a few months get more 99s and repeat. This “session” i got 3 99s and going to try agility now, i cant play without objectives and slayer seems to be a eternal grind, hope i can achieve atleast 93 this time.
I think about changing to paid membership instead of buying bonds. The 2 weeks of membership are really just a grind to make the money back as efficiently as possible. After every bond period I feel burnt out.
What's wrong with burning out? Go ahead, burn out, take a hiatus and then come back when you're feeling into it again. I tend to let my membership lapse right about this time of the year usually anyway because I'm usually out doing other things (over the summer) the only reason I'm playing right now is because of the lockdown. Usually I'm out playing golf (which you can still do in this area) but today it's raining and I've been hitting that pretty heard I need to give my body a break. I guess what I'm saying is that even if you DO burn out, it doesn't have to be forever, you can come back whenever you're feeling up to it.
What do you do in it?? Also I took a break from getting Barrows gloves stopped at dragon planning to do some. Money makers to fund my slayer, castle wars account
Janet Cockerham sounds like he meant “don’t let yourself” as in take a break before u get so tired of looking at it that u completely don’t want to look at it anymore.
A feed that help me personally, play other games while playing runescape. Talk to your mates on discord, take a couple day break and play other games. Don’t focus on the boring stuff, just adjust to it,
I got burnt out and fed up with game after being hacked twice and lossing around 500 mil. Still have no clue how to raid or so some bosses, but I can back to the game with mind set on just trying to level my account
My advice is get to the point where you can make a bond’s worth in a couple hours (like zalcano) and then play however you want and however long you want for the rest of the 2 weeks. Some days I’ll log in and do like 4 sweaty hours of ardy knights. Other days I’ll do 1 game of barb assault or fish for 15 minutes or do an easy quest and log. At the end of the day, no one is holding a gun to your head or even paying you to play, so why fight the feeling of being burnt out? Enjoy yourself, there are a lot of things that are supposed to feel like chores like washing dishes and doing laundry, but playing a video game shouldn’t be one of them lol
I've been trying to Max for just over 16 years. I'm the closest I've ever been with my first 99 a few years ago and have around 14 99s now. With the goal of maxing this year. What he says is true. Most people want to just get maxed and everyone is at the baseline of being already maxed. I hear frequently nowadays that maxing isn't really impressive anymore as so many people are maxed. Well it is to the people who aren't maxed nor ever been maxed. For me it is a bucket list item of mine to max. Once I do, I'm going to throw a freakin party. I don't believe in the saying "Its not about the destination but the journey." in the context of a video game, because its 100% about the destination. But I do see what they mean now that I'm getting closer. Good luck to all who are in the same boat as me.
People have really forgotten the fun in pking. When I get burnt out, I just run around pvp with tele block rcb and dds. Cheap and fun way to learn how to pk
You mentioned you play RoE, if the game isn't too dead nowadays hit me up if you wanna play sometime! I'm pretty chill/mellow and very known in the community there. (One of the most experienced competitive players, Discord name's the same, I'm in your server)
Make sure you have a linked in profile. Keep your resume updated. Pretty much apply for every single IT job you can find. And even if it’s not something you particularly want your career to be, if it’s related to the IT field, a foot in the door goes a long way. And I’m sure you’ll learn something you didn’t know before.
I feel like my burning out is due to the frustrations of using the vanilla client. I really think the qol benefits from a client like runelite would keep me in the game longer and keep me from burning out but I am afraid that, if banned, the use of a 3rd party client would make getting unbanned difficult. If I lost all the hours I have put into my account and had to restart I don't think I could ever bring myself to play the game again.
This video came at the perfect time. I’m 450 if at cyclops for D defender. (Was also 170kc dry on bronze defender). And this is all on a HCIM so I have to Fuchs more and it uses a lot more supplies.
I’ve played rs from 2007 til Eoc quit then came back almost every day and played osrs I maxed last April and have been burned out since :( no idea how to respark my passion for OSRS
Awesome tips bro! I always find I'm burnt out after I've finished a 99..always feel a bit lost! Like after finishing Tiger King.. what do I do now 😂😂 I'm currently going for 100m thieving xp and I'm loving it tbh :P
The focus of the game shifted and it has become grindscape. This is why I tend to just do afk skills and keep osrs as a secondary window whilst doing homework, job searching, etc (whatever stage in your life you are at).
I think runescape is about accepting that it takes time to get what you want you have to have patience and also playing other games to take your mind off the repetitiveness
I trying to figure out how you got the health bar and prayer to split up I notice your inventory is in the middle and your health bars to the left and your prayer bar is to the right of your inventory..........I watch a video of yours on how to put on the status bars but I'm not sure why both my health and prayer bars are on the left side of my inventory.....

Will do slayer here, hunter there, con for a bit, maybe some herblore. always mixing it up so I never get boredm
Dude building the alt is such a good tip. I'm working on maxing but hate doing AFK content and I don't really enjoy sweaty methods for anything other than bossing. I've been building a rune dragon alt for the past little bit now and have never made so much progress on my main for afk skills. It also feels good to have a lower level account that doesn't take 4+ hours to get one level in your lowest skill. XP comes in slower but slow consistent xp is better than fast xp where you burn out quickly.
10/10 would recommend building out an alt to do more fun content while working on maxing a main.
I think friends on osrs is a big one. It’s always nice to log on and see a friend you can boss with or just chill out and chat and skill with. Gets quite lonely and boring on your own. I have burned out many times but that’s down to not having enough time to put into the game at this point in my life and wanting to do/play other games when I get the chance. I still play a few hours a week though.
I've also found setting a high goal with multiple requirements is something to help space things out too. Like mine right now is the quest Cape, which requires hours of grinding every skill. Only 8 more skills to go. I've also been doing quests and bossing on the side when I found grinding too much, as well as other fun content. It all leads to that Cape, so it all works out.
Getting the quest cape and diaries was one of the ways I alleviated burn out myself, for a time anyway. I recently got back into it and I still have to finish up the song of the elves (got to the seren fragment before I had to go to work) and the fremmenik exiles quest and I get it back. The cape is also amazing for a discount con cape as well I used it on a daily basis.
i am really happy you addressed this topic. OSRS is a game that rewards both, a great work ethic, and more importantly a strong mind.
I always make sure I'm planned ahead and have goals for the future. Keeps me motivated to get to that new content and saves me from finishing what I'm working on and spending a lot of time asking "what's next?"
So you’re the guy that was playing runescape at work while he has someone on hold. “Hang on ma’am I’m getting 99 mining”
Ty for this. I usually find myself burning out, and then RuneScape finds me. Love all over again, every-time!
I find that diversifying your personal experience is key. Not only with different activities in Runescape, but also with other games.
Joining an active CC helps a lot.
And
One thing I like to do is profit skills combat/slayer included and then use the profits on the buyable skills with a goal in mind (83 Construction for me)
Literally so conviendmt you posted this considering I feel burnt out rn
u forgot the most important of all:
play on fixed mode, put it in a tiny corner of ur screen, do some AFK skill to 99, and just multitask like crazy, watch videos, chat etc.. free account progressoion without even focusing on the game or playing
Easier to not burn out:
Set EHP goals, not XP goals.
Not sure I would recommend CML as some of their ads are distasteful lately.
Whenever you find yourself doing a bank-standing skill like crafting, herblore(assuming you're not doing EHP Herblore rates) try and set up an alt to make money on the side. I find Rune Dragons , Wyverns, or even some other semi-afk alt keeps your mind floating, which allows you to enjoy the game while your main progresses with it's AFK xp. Another skill you can play alts and keep efficient rates would be agility as well! Anytime you have the chance to 3-tick, 2-tick, or 1-tick a skill... You should. Too much AFK will burn you out, as it will make you just see RuneScape as a cookie clicker game. Not playing alts as well on the AFK grinds will also give you the AFK Heroes vibe.
If you don't even want to commit to fully leveling an alt up, currently Oak Trees are 200K+ GP/h in F2P ... Combo that with something like crafting/agi you can get a lot of passive gp, passive mind power, and inevitably 99 crafting 😎
efficent hours played as advice to NOT burn out is a terrible idea whos not going to want to stop playing after non stop tick efficient skilling lol that's my opinion anyways but everyone's different
I've alternated between WoW and RS since the day they came out. Being basically polar opposites of each other makes going back to either one after a couple years a massive breath of fresh air.
When you like a game but also have to find ways to not wanna quit
my personal strategy is playing 2 weeks at a time, fully using the bond and then taking a break, rinse and repeat
Nah the grind never stops. 24/7 💯
My anti burn out, at least for me isnt based so much on high level maxing but the whole early to mid-late grind where bossing is minimal and skilling is unoptimised is training for quest and diaries.
My main goal from level 3 was to get a quest cape, i finally got one and had base 70 stats and all the medium diaries done, now im going for all hard diaries and its made me get my combat to 100, and a lot of skills past 70.
Not to mention a lot of other things, i also want to get all XP boosting outfits, and graceful recolour. Having the mini goals for me is really keeping me going with no fatigue and by the time i have done all the hard or elite diaries my account will be great for bossing and ill have a solid foundation in all my skills.
I burned out back in 2007 as i was one of those accounts that only ever really trained combat and one skill and got burned out but now my account is well rounded i am loving every part of it.
Join a cc that is local to you. That’s what worked for me!
Especially one that offers clan events every day, it really keeps it fresh and fun!
I play other games with RuneScape in the background. There's a lot of skills that are good to do in the background while still having some level of work on your account. Right now, I'm playing Jedi fallen order while smithing a few thousand cannonballs between birdhouses runs for basically passive income to improve my account when I feel like doing other shit
Just put sea shanty 2 on loop and you will never get burnt out.
Thank you very much for the alt account tip. I'm going to create one, it'll make the grind on the main less painful
I needed this video so badly you have no idea thank you!!!
Ive been playing for couple months i love this game..keeps me thinking..lol i will be watching ..ty for the videos..im only 63 combat level..✌👋🆒
I feel like afking all the time and never having anyone to interact with burned me out at one point. I’ve been trying to make an effort to change that and it’s definitely resparked my interest. Also playing other games helps with keeping the game fresh for me :)
if you need someone to talk to, pm phub member, happy to keep a conversation with ya
Hey man you want someone to play with add me in game. RSN: HandiJayOSRS
Whenever I have a long grind that I want to break up I usually go do something like afk fishing and just relax and watch videos or a movie. Definitely helps
Yeah I'm almost always doing other games while playing rs. Been playing a lot of Legends of Runeterra lately, great online card game and good to play while afking
While doing grindy skills you can work on an alt, watch/read something or both at the same time.
Getting burned out was one of the reasons I have no interest in maxing even after a yr of playing because I see all these maxed accounts doing slayer or fishing and other stuff and dont know why they do it if they're already maxed, but this kinda helped
Appreciate the video. I set myself a goal. hammer it out, finish. Then im so burnt out I quit every couple weeks. Should probably sent smaller goals?
Friend of mine nmz'd 99 str and didnt even get the cape before he burned out of the game
Shit I'm on that path...
Great video! Had that problem myself and took a little time off.
I train slayer if I feel like playing, zeah RC if I wanna watch videos or something and chill, and mine amethyst if I wanna play a different game like league or duty. It's nice having options based on what other thing I feel like doing.
I can confirm. The only reason I maxed in OSRS was because I made an ironman. When grinding out the boring afk skills on my main, I made great progress on my ironman. And when I had to do something more active on my main to max, I afked on my ironman and stocked up on fish or some shit.
I know this vid is quite a few months old but if anyone reads this try
-do a couple of medium clues
-kill Vorkath a couple times
-then kill Zulrah a couple times
-maybe do a farm run
-one skill level a day
-magic xp at Mm2 caves for an hour
There’s a lot to do in OSRS...
Ty man, just what I need to hear
Great video, would be nice to see more of these.
yeah alot of the stuff you mentioned I do like when im waiting for a match in overwatch it can take like 10 mins sometimes so I play osrs on the side or I play on my alt for fun and do slayer since its my favorite skill since its pretty diverse while my main I just do a boring skill like agility.
People forget it's a game. I have in-game friends always asking me whether they should work towards goal A or goal B and I always say "what do you feel like doing?" Have fun and if you're not log out and come back later.
I enjoy your video topic! We both love runescape and create videos about it. I actually started playing back in 2006.
I needed this. Thank you
Making an iron man is a good option if you haven't done so yet. It's like replaying the game because you have to take steps you have never done. You are also excluded from the botched economy of 2020 Runescape.
I have a very strange burnt out thing, i level a skill to 99 and start slayer and get burnt out then i take a break for a few months get more 99s and repeat. This “session” i got 3 99s and going to try agility now, i cant play without objectives and slayer seems to be a eternal grind, hope i can achieve atleast 93 this time.
Yes, feed my addiction more!
Jaman, runescape gaat voor alles bij mij.
I think about changing to paid membership instead of buying bonds. The 2 weeks of membership are really just a grind to make the money back as efficiently as possible. After every bond period I feel burnt out.
What's wrong with burning out? Go ahead, burn out, take a hiatus and then come back when you're feeling into it again. I tend to let my membership lapse right about this time of the year usually anyway because I'm usually out doing other things (over the summer) the only reason I'm playing right now is because of the lockdown. Usually I'm out playing golf (which you can still do in this area) but today it's raining and I've been hitting that pretty heard I need to give my body a break. I guess what I'm saying is that even if you DO burn out, it doesn't have to be forever, you can come back whenever you're feeling up to it.
What do you do in it?? Also I took a break from getting Barrows gloves stopped at dragon planning to do some. Money makers to fund my slayer, castle wars account
Been playing doom eternal and fishing minnows lately. Fun stuff
cyber attack and ammonite crabs is the META
Big thing that helps every hour jump out your chair and do 20 press ups, gets you blood flowing around its healthy and re focuses you

He's right, I totally forgot that there's a whole world out there yet for me to discover.
Im so glad that you made this about 2 monthd ago i asked another streamer his name is seerz and he said just dont i was like wtf
Janet Cockerham sounds like he meant “don’t let yourself” as in take a break before u get so tired of looking at it that u completely don’t want to look at it anymore.
A feed that help me personally, play other games while playing runescape. Talk to your mates on discord, take a couple day break and play other games. Don’t focus on the boring stuff, just adjust to it,
I got burnt out and fed up with game after being hacked twice and lossing around 500 mil. Still have no clue how to raid or so some bosses, but I can back to the game with mind set on just trying to level my account
If you burnt out just take a break but the grind is addicting and satisfying. There is actually a sense of achievement in OS unlike RS3
switching weapons or training methods is nice too.
My advice is get to the point where you can make a bond’s worth in a couple hours (like zalcano) and then play however you want and however long you want for the rest of the 2 weeks. Some days I’ll log in and do like 4 sweaty hours of ardy knights. Other days I’ll do 1 game of barb assault or fish for 15 minutes or do an easy quest and log.
At the end of the day, no one is holding a gun to your head or even paying you to play, so why fight the feeling of being burnt out? Enjoy yourself, there are a lot of things that are supposed to feel like chores like washing dishes and doing laundry, but playing a video game shouldn’t be one of them lol
I've been trying to Max for just over 16 years. I'm the closest I've ever been with my first 99 a few years ago and have around 14 99s now. With the goal of maxing this year. What he says is true. Most people want to just get maxed and everyone is at the baseline of being already maxed. I hear frequently nowadays that maxing isn't really impressive anymore as so many people are maxed. Well it is to the people who aren't maxed nor ever been maxed. For me it is a bucket list item of mine to max. Once I do, I'm going to throw a freakin party. I don't believe in the saying "Its not about the destination but the journey." in the context of a video game, because its 100% about the destination. But I do see what they mean now that I'm getting closer. Good luck to all who are in the same boat as me.
I play intensively for a months or two and then quit for a few months. I find this works pretty well for me
One must take breaks. I haven't played since March, feels good.
People have really forgotten the fun in pking. When I get burnt out, I just run around pvp with tele block rcb and dds. Cheap and fun way to learn how to pk
You mentioned you play RoE, if the game isn't too dead nowadays hit me up if you wanna play sometime! I'm pretty chill/mellow and very known in the community there. (One of the most experienced competitive players, Discord name's the same, I'm in your server)
totally off topic but you got tips on how I can land a job in information system as a senior in college
Make sure you have a linked in profile. Keep your resume updated. Pretty much apply for every single IT job you can find. And even if it’s not something you particularly want your career to be, if it’s related to the IT field, a foot in the door goes a long way. And I’m sure you’ll learn something you didn’t know before.
Been "breaking" for over a year now and been paying for membership since 2010 lmao
Very good upload, just as i was starting to burn out too, thanks :)
I feel like my burning out is due to the frustrations of using the vanilla client. I really think the qol benefits from a client like runelite would keep me in the game longer and keep me from burning out but I am afraid that, if banned, the use of a 3rd party client would make getting unbanned difficult. If I lost all the hours I have put into my account and had to restart I don't think I could ever bring myself to play the game again.
RuneLite and OSB have been approved by Jagex with all their current plugins. I’ve been using a 3rd party since I started playing OSRS. No issues here.
@@AsukaYenOSRS I might give runelite a go then cheers
lol i was literally crafting black d hide bodies when you said that
This video came at the perfect time. I’m 450 if at cyclops for D defender. (Was also 170kc dry on bronze defender). And this is all on a HCIM so I have to Fuchs more and it uses a lot more supplies.
I’ve played rs from 2007 til Eoc quit then came back almost every day and played osrs I maxed last April and have been burned out since :( no idea how to respark my passion for OSRS
Awesome tips bro! I always find I'm burnt out after I've finished a 99..always feel a bit lost! Like after finishing Tiger King.. what do I do now 😂😂
I'm currently going for 100m thieving xp and I'm loving it tbh :P
Good topic actually, great vid
I hate Runecrafting but Tears of Guthix has let me get level 60 in a skill I've barely touched since level 15. It's definitely worthwhile passive XP.
The focus of the game shifted and it has become grindscape. This is why I tend to just do afk skills and keep osrs as a secondary window whilst doing homework, job searching, etc (whatever stage in your life you are at).
I'm burned out on old school RuneScape quite quickly because of the lack of black armor they don't have enough variety.
It's kinda hard not to burn out in my case because all the 99s I have left are either stupidly slow or stupidly expensive
I think runescape is about accepting that it takes time to get what you want you have to have patience and also playing other games to take your mind off the repetitiveness
I trying to figure out how you got the health bar and prayer to split up I notice your inventory is in the middle and your health bars to the left and your prayer bar is to the right of your inventory..........I watch a video of yours on how to put on the status bars but I'm not sure why both my health and prayer bars are on the left side of my inventory.....
Do you have the option set in OSRS settings to be able to close your inventory?
If all your icons are along the bottom both appear on the left
Im working on a lil bit of everything..im doing sum quests!..
