I've been playing the game since 2003. I still use the wiki. I don't use it really for meta but more of a resource. I'm old I can't remember every single obscure thing about the game. Use the wiki just don't become dependent is the best tip I can give people. I watch guides here and there but it's usually for some small piece of info that only someone who lives in this game would know or find. The guides for the most part are usually useless and your better off just playing the game.
My biggest mistake was putting off quest cape. I didn’t get it until like 115 combat and I regret it. Not having to worry about doing quests does wonders for my mental and helps me focus on other grinds!
Dude, I got mine about year ago and it’s absolutely incredible not having to worry about clues or anything having all quests done. I tell people looking for something to do all the time just to rush the quest cape.
@@Pen127 yeahh I’ve been tragically dropping too many elites. I’ll likely max, then quest cape, then diary cape 🫠 absolutely worst order possible but worked for me hahaha
getting the quest cape also makes a new quest so much more enjoyable everytime a new quest drops its like a little race to see who can get their cape back on first.
@FloodsGamingAU It's not rng. You can kill skeletons when the event happens until you get the piece. You have to deal with a 1/10 event chance, but if you're going for outfit you'd just do easy treks and skip everything
Yes, this is the case. the day Forestry came out, I realised i didn't have the Lumberjack outfit and needed it. It only took an hour to get. Easy. Then I looked the part and joined the people at Draynor and Seers. So much more fun than some 99 grind alone. @FloodsGamingAU, you can guarantee an outfit drop on the broken bridge bit of Temple Trekking.
I'm glad you made the point about bonds. In my clan chat I've seen people imply that it's bad to spend any real money on the game, even for membership. It's like they have something to prove by playing members for "free." Personally I do not have time to do grinds just for members, and I also don't think it's actually free if you have to earn an extra 10mil+ every couple weeks. Personally, I bonded a few key construction levels and do not feel any type of way about it. But we all play how we like :)
The tip on the skilling outfits is VERY important, you can go a lot longer than 4 hrs without the angler set, and in the meanwhile you’ll have NOTHING to show for it. I’d recommend at least 76 fishing before you do the trawler grind so you can at least get sharks.
About the skilling outfits: I recommend the construction one. 2.5% bonus xp means 2.5% less gp spent I went for it before the maxing grind, and it's not a waste of time, since you also get good xp for good xp in the path towards it
It's not worth it. The 2.5% boost does not work on the Mahogany Homes contract completion bonuses, only on the items you build, so its barely an extra XP. If cost is the prohibitive part of training Construction you should spend the points on the reward crates and sell them on the GE, will make you way more money back than the outfit.
@@Gold3nblu3 I don't think you understood what I meant I meant get the carpenter set if you are going to max And WHILE you are going for the set you'll get some xp I didn't mean "max with mahogany homes" I maxed with mahogany tables Much better Yeah it's a lot more expensive, but 750k xp/h
I think my biggest mistake since 2004 was thinking i could never max because of skills like runecrafting, agility, farming, thieving, construction and mining I'm not maxed yet, but i have 99 in those skills and others which kinda cleared the path for me to max my acc with the other skills
Something you touched on that I think more people need to hear is that burnout is the worst xp waste. Setting a goal and grinding for it is great but it’s also important to learn that it’s okay to take a break from it and do something you enjoy to avoid burnout. I still have a habit of trying to lock myself to a grind and I have to take a step back to remember the time I burnt out doing a thousand CG for the bowfa. I’d rather take a break from an activity and come back than burn out again.
I make this mistake, despite being aware of it. I still hyper fixate on a grind and burn myself out doing so. Every year I would do a massive quest grind only to stop questing for a whole year. Another mistake I used to make was reselling gear to buy other gear for short term playing. Every time I buy gear, I ask myself if I will actually use it and use it enough to justify the purchase.
Just did the fishing trawler grind so I have to correct one thing. Games take 5 minutes yes, but there's a 1 minute wait between games. This means you can only do 10 games per hour, and roughly 5 hours for the set.
Rogues and Graceful outfits are truly worth it, everything else is extra from doing minigames. You might as well get them if you intend to 99 the skill and they're not that hard to get. You're not a bot, you're not gonna efficiently get to 99, that 2.5% helps when you're already spending so much time grinding. You can only spend so much time 2/3 tick skills to 99 before you want to blow your brains out. The outfits benefit people who afk grind more than anything.
I'm stuck in the early mid game... At that special level where some bosses are technically possible but unless you have a foundation they are nearly impossible to learn BTW thank you for the speed run thing for jad... 15 attempts and zero fire capes largely from not getting the healers pulled and killed before jad fully heals, and I die from resource starvation Being able practice transitioning from prayers to npcs would be fantastic
Good luck with your firecape! I got my first cape last year even though I've played RS for about half my life. Take your time. As long as you know what you're doing wrong, you can improve.
@cosmicwonderer6269 not gold it's stagnation I typically do gold making leveling methods when I can like make bolt vs darts I also fo farming and birdhouse runs
I got my first fire cape about 2 weeks ago. First attempt ever. I grinded about 400 kc on scurrius in varrock before I tried caves and I swear that was the reason I didn't panic on the prayer flicks. You'll get there bro!
one thing on the outfits, the angler outfit is used for tempoross which is one of the best training methods for fishing as well. similar to prospectors.
My mistake was not setting good goals. The biggest break I took from the game was in the middle of a massive vorkath grind. But after I learned to set REASONABLE and SPECIFIC goals, I was having way more fun playing. Goals like "catch one of every impling barehanded". It sounds silly, but seeing it written down got me to finally train hunter and visit Puro Puro, not because I "needed" to, but because I wanted to.
The biggest mistake ive made was playing a main account. I honestly got burnt out really fast just chasing gold and buying stuff. When I switched to exclusively playing iron ive been going strong for over 2 years without getting demoralized because everything you do actually matters for your account
Yep, I play Bronzeman so I have to get good stuff myself, but without the drag of not being able to buy useful materials. It's boring to just buy a whip, for example, but the joy of earning it oneself is much better.
17:40 most people dont care about those. Most care about the whales who spend thousands and thousands and then flex like they didnt steal daddys credit card to "achieve" this.
Community is huge. Joined a clan years ago. They've taught me bossing and we even got a sigil drop at mass clan corp. Nice to have people see my progress with me.
I only have one close friend I play with. Joining a clan is intimidating to me, but I think it might be beneficial for me to enjoy the game more than I already do.
@@HyzerFlip I always see them asking each other to boss and do stuff I never tried so it enticed me to get into it! It's not necessary but I think its really worth it! Idk if ours has open access but Im sure I can figure it out if youd want to join!
I'd say I made two large mistakes the first time I played. First, was trying to focus too much on the "optimal" way to level skills. Rather than trying the large variety of methods out there and finding what I enjoyed. The second was putting off quests in favor of grinding. Only to get stymied when some content I wanted to do was locked behind those quests I ignored, and that would have done a bunch of the leveling grind for me.
My biggest mistake would be focusing so much on melee stats early on. I’m level 125 and have so much slayer to do, but I’m already almost maxed so I feel like I could’ve leveled both slayer and melee at the same time. Rsn: 28 Grams
Drop rates: I do herb runs. the expected value is ~9 herbs per patch.... I conditioned myself to say "That's not how probability works" when I got more or less than 9 herbs. ie, "Hell yeah! I got 96 herbs on 8 patches! I'm rich!" *that's not how probability works* "Damn, 3 herbs died & this game sucks!" *that's not who probability works* Just grind, and probability will work itself out.
If you don't upgrade your account you can't get the last emote to finish the varrok medium diary so it forces your old account to be a Jagex account now. Atleast that's what it's appears to be unless you can work around it.
My biggest mistake was not learning about bossing/PvMing sooner, it's such a fun and rewarding content, and you don't need to be maxed to enjoy it (i'm almost maxed).
Not going to lie I'm really someone finally said it with the bond thing. Buying bonds can really launch you forward and keep you interested without the grind for the gp to even begin the grind you actually want to do
Speaking of not trusting drop rates, my duo and I went 92 COX dry averaging 55k points. We then hit 2 elder mauls (RIP Tbow dream) and a set of claws within 10 raids. It balanced out the dry streak nicely
My biggest mistake was avoiding certain gear and aesthetic upgrades out of efficiency (i.e., not dyeing graceful outfit). Now I can have mad swag during herb runs while telling the peasants not to touch my foot. RSN: YunoHarmony
I would counter the buy bonds to sell for gold point with the argument that several individuals may feel that their experience has been devalued as they effectively paid for the upgrade and it may not feel as impactful than if they grinded for the gear or even if they grinded out the gold to buy it themselves.
Yeah, I feel the empty inside right now. I set out to get the untrimmed slayer cape, and now that I achieved it, it took me about a solid week before I made a new goal. I am still bouncing between goals with no real commitment, but I am hoping to find the next grind... just slowly banging out combat achievements for some sick upgrades :)
RSN Long Donk #1 mistake is putting off skulking in favour of PVM. It’s what I enjoy but there’s so many other aspects of the game that compliment your PVM journey if you take the time to invest time outside of killing monsters.
My biggest mistake is trying to learn every single boss mechanic and their attacks first without just trying to the boss out with slight knowledge then going back and learning everything. A good example of this is ToA. You can watch in depth guides on every boss mechanic and you'll end up overwhelmed because it so much. The way I avoided this I did a learner 0 to 50 invo DUO raid with someone that knows it and I had them explain just the basics just get through the raid with them on the spot. Once you do this, then I recommend going and watching in depth guides because they'll make more sense from there and you can progress your learning quicker and at ease that way. A lot of bosses/raids have so much mechanics, specials, attacks, etc... but a lot of them can honestly just be ignored with min detail and there might be 1 more 2 things you actually need to really look out for. I did this same method learning new invos to add to my solo runs too. Another example is Vorkath, he has a lot of different attacks and specials, but honestly, you just need to know when to move over 2 tiles and count ever 6 attacks for his 2 specials and that's really it.. you don't need to know every detail, it'll get overwhelming. Why do you think people like "to the point" guides that makes sense. RSN: Zoom Reload
a tip i would add is if you care/going to care about collection logs, get alot of those grinds done at efficient times. get the skilling outfits early, lower level collection logs like camdozal, brimhaven agility course before 99, etc.
I'm an ironman and my normal account is roughly half the total level my ironman is and my fear is losing items when going to fight something, or lose pots/food when bossing only to fail, I had/have to get over that fear using items to progress, and honestly I still have the issue but it's slowly getting better
RSN MacAttack21, I make most of my money in game flipping. My biggest mistake is hording the gp in my bank to get bigger flips to make more money rather than spend it on better gear or getting a maxed house lol. And I will continue to make this mistake despite being aware of it.
My mistake is not valueing my time. Like you said grinding 10 hours for a bond is pointless if that amount of your time is more worth than few euros. Would you buy 10 hours of free time for few euros, I'm sure many of you would. Also doing stuff you don't enjoy. OSN: su dokuke
On the topic of drop rates, when I was getting my dragon defender (just the dragon, not all the way up) I got both halves of the crystal key and multiple rune full helms in the basement before I got my defender. RNG is weird sometimes.
Can't wait to be called out. Biggest mistake was not leveling agility and quitting for a month because of the death alter quest. I swear to god I died 10 times trying to cross that gap.
Oooooh yeah this is underrated for sure. I did this quest with my fiancé and she was around like 68 agi maybe more or less and she couldn’t pass the agility check. We had to grind out a few levels before she was able to do it. On the other hand, I went in with 85 agility and breezed through it rather easily. Agi is def worth having early. I don’t regret grinding it out for moments like the one you mentioned.
I think you are missing the point with some of those skilling outfits. Fishing Trawler is easy, quite fun and v short. The fish rewards are good for cooking. The outfit helps at Tempeross and will be upgraded, and you need it for an otherwise trivially easy combat achievement. Most importantly, collection log is more fun and rewarding than mere 99 grinds.
Worth noting that if you are australian and wanted to use a VPN to lower your ping in certain worlds it doesn't let you if you're on a jagex account, will just disonnect you from launcher. EG i want to use a VPN to lower my bing for BH worlds as alot of people do, it just dc's me from launcher while trying to. care!
Once I've opened the launcher then into runelite you can use a VPN to route your traffic through another location and it works fine. Turning on/off a VPN disconnects and reconnects me. I'm also an Australian FWIW.
My biggest mistake was trusting someone I truly didn’t know. An in-game friend that I’ve know for 1 1/2 years messaged me asking for help with a Bond. Since they were an Iron Man, in exchange for a bond they would let me kill them for items of equal value. Needless to say, after giving them the bond they blocked me and hopped worlds, never to be seen again. RSN: King Vanhala
Honestly the friends part is the hardest part. Had lots of friends in the main game. Rs3. I got sick of it and came to OSrS and in turn, left my friends behind in rs3.. I have one irl friend that plays occasionally with me but mostly solo.. hard to find friends these days. Maybe when I'm ready to do raids I'll find a clan to tag along with.. Hopefully I don't get ripped on drops 😅☠️
My biggest mistake is sticking to the best/most popular ways to train a skill. I really dislike wintertodt, even though that's what everyone says to do. Just do what you enjoy. RSN Murunix
My biggest mistake is waiting to buy bonds lol. Once I decided to my account really took off. Felt like the midgame grind was never ending (well it is, I'm still there, but it's much better now). Now I'm able to actually start bossing and doing the PvM things I really enjoy in the game. I appreciate you advocating for this, it makes the game so much more enjoyable if you're feeling stuck and don't have as much time to play as you would like to. RSN Scuba Steef
I really like the not trusting drop rates one. I've gotten so demoralized so many times because of it. It took me 2.5k cave horrors to get the black mask and it made me so frustrated. But just killing until i get the item feels more liberating
True i used to think of drop rates all the time it sucked so bad. One thing alot of ppl dont get about a drop rate is regardless of the droprate, the chance of getting that item by the time you hit the drop rate is 64.3% (or maybe 63.4%) regardless of what the drop is. Only 64% of people will get a boss pet by 3000 kc, etc.
Think the best advice I can give is no one can take away your xp drops. 13m/skill/max, even if it's 10k xp, will get you closer to your goal. remember it's a grindy game on purpose and there's no time limit to get to where youre going. The biggest mistake imo is overfocusing on a singular thing: once you get tired of one activity/grind, move on to another, even if it's just for an hour RSN
Wasting time grinding for supplies rather than doing a money maker and buying them. Also putting off doing quests until their difficulty was trivial and therefore not enjoyable.
My biggest mistake is being afraid of dying, as soon as I started not caring about dying I started to do bosses and it's the most fun I've ever had in this game!! rsn 0mnix
My biggest mistake is absolutely looking at the drop rate table before doing bosses. Rather, setting expectations of getting drops based off those rates, anyway.
The other thing not mentioned is drop rate is literally the average, so 50% of the time you'll go under drop rate, and 50% of the time you'll go over (or "dry"). People really expect to get spoonfed everything then throw a tantrum when they are "dry" lol
I like to go "Make X amount of money then see how you feel" with consistent bosses like vorkath and zulrah. With drop rate bosses I like to do kill milestones and see how things are then. Makes me focus on feeling the fun rather than hitting the item and helps to forget I'm going for a drop
The point at the end of the video of doing x thing in game = earning X Dollars an hour in real life is exactly why (in my opinion) the only mode in the game worth playing is ironman. And its purely because the fact you can BUY progression. The second you can convert real money to in game success is when the game no longer respects you.
@@KaozOSRS Super fair perspective if you don't mind, I just find as soon as real money converts to game progress the game becomes a chore. If you enjoy it and have the money to spend more power to you.
The biggest mistake I see people constantly make is thinking there is a “right” way to play the game. The game is meant to be fun and you should do the activities you enjoy. EHP and tick manipulation may be fun to some but some might enjoy nmz to get to bosses asap and foregoing skills.
Might be long for a youtube comment but I agree with the bond tip: I'm on my 5th or 6th account (the others being lost for 1 reason or another) and this is my most progressed by far because I was able to afford a few bonds (finally a real adult with an income) to buy entry level PvM gear. That got me to the point where I finally wanted to sit down and do the fighters torso /dragon defender/questing grinds etc. I understand why some people would feel like they didnt earn their account if they got bonds early, but for me idgaf if the trident in my account is purchased by bonds. Eventually, I'm going to sell it because my account is still in it's infancy and I'll replace it with something better that I grinded for. The grind to a maxed account takes several years sometimes and I was able to skip the very early parts to get to a point that made grinding feel worth it bc I had the bare minimum gear to make it worth it in terms of gp/hour.
Im not a bond buyer but i do buy bonds with gp to fund my memberships and it literally wouldnt be possible without players buying them for an edge up. The only time it ever bothers me (which is just dumb) is when i see a player with a 1kc inferno cape, full torva and a scythe at scurrius and thats their only boss kc. These people have spent thousands of dollars to skip the entire game, i just kind of feel bad for them.
RSN: King Gryndo - My biggest mistake was wearing my fire cape in the wilderness...TWICE! Easily avoidable by double checking in not wearing during clue scrolls / KBD slayer kills
My biggest mistake was recolouring my graceful a second time instead of just getting another set of graceful. Also a good one for your next vid would be to NEVER BUY PEGASIANS. these boots should literally be the final upgrade you get after full torva, ancestral and masori and mega weapons. D hide boots are basically the exact same stats, cost 1/80th of the price and gives you prayer bonus, imo they are better than pegasians but ppl love to break the bank on pegs while wearing full arma
BIGGEST TIP! ~~> stay top right (north east) then drag enemies to walls and always pray mage after wave 30 !!! Do not forget to practice jad with the little trick easily searchable on UA-cam
RSN: ZEEP0 My biggest mistake was buying ToA drops a couple of weeks after the raid launched. I should have waited for the price to settle, because the DPS difference was not worth losing millions every day due to the price dropping.
I think you approached the outfits wrong. For many it’s not a question of getting them or not, it’s a question of when. So the real question is whether or not to wait and get them later rather then sooner.
I hear you. Just remember it's incredibly rare and often not worth going for, you're better off progressing your account, unless you have all other personal goals completed. Break up any long grinds with small ones, like money making or even a skill level.
Don't feel like you need to lock yourself into a single boss grind. It's so much better if you hop between 2 or 3 bosses every few days. I'm hopping between Levi and Duke for pets right now, making a ton of money in the process doesn't hurt either.
Just remember for ANY drop in the game, only 64% of players recive it by the time theyve hit the drop rate, so in this case 64% of players get that boss pet by 3000 kc
I just had to get the angler’s outfit for a master step and it was so brutal. I only regret not doing it earlier - my biggest mistake is putting off untradeable upgrades. Took me until 78 slayer to imbue my helm. RSN: Mustard Frog
Hello my biggest mistake is not looking at guides sooner. I've played sense 2007 and just in the past year or so started really paying attention to guides and how they work and I feel foolish for not doing it sooner
Hmm... I'm working on the soulreaper axe at 3/4 pieces Whisperer being my last grind without a shadow on my iron so when you brought up that goal it hit a little close to home although I've been pretty spooned on my axe pieces but 4 min kills is kinda miserable.
My biggest runescape mistake was not buying climbing boots... if you know you know. I was about to invest in a lot of them literally the night before the price change but my fridend talked me out of it. We woke up the next morning and just stared at each other. I never let him live that down. Rsn exlaax
15:39 I enjoy earning gold in-game to pay for the bond making it completely free, its a great feeling and a great motivator! So I disagree enormously with that last tip
On that last point, I spent the money on a 3 bond pack and rushed 83 construction. Now I have a maxed house, and use it between almost literally every activity, and I've probably saved hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of gp along with many hours on teleports, spellbook swaps, or walking to a fairy ring/spirit tree/etc. As far as mistakes, I think my biggest thing is spending more money than I need to on convenience, while I still only have a 100M bank, and 5-10M cash stack. Like yeah, I COULD not bring a cannon to every slayer task. But it's so much faster. I COULD use Maples instead of Yews for tree runs. But they're so much faster. I know could avoid the mistake by just...not doing that. But being honest, I'm probably gonna keep doing it.
My biggest mistake? not getting the Text so Speach plugin sooner... Hopefully it will get better as time goes on but as a solo player having it is a game changer. RSN: Nexus-X
True the outfits for the most part are completely useless however, who has more style in the end a player with full spirit angler and a 99 fishing cape or a player with only a 99 fishing cape.
Biggest mistake is not learning how to host leeches at barbarian assault for massive gp and instead just playing barbarian assault for fun. RSN: BA Saboteur.
The last point is a really good one! Even at my worst, I buy a bond a week which is only $32/month (even though realistically I buy 1 bond a month or less now). For how much time I spend on this game, the value is there for me EASILY. But in reality, I don't mind supporting this game since i LOVE OSRS and want to see the game do well. Also, the bossing tip is actually low key a really good one. I didn't believe you at first when you said it, but now that I've taken a break from PVM, I've made much more significant progress towards maxing. Once I max, I can then focus all my energy on PVM!
My biggest mistake is borrowing a tbow from my friend as soon as I could wield it , I have made so much gold bought new pieces of gear then instead of selling my old gear I just kept farming more and more gold and buying better and better gear
for longest time i would play a couple months and then get bored and quit for 2/3 or even 12 months at a time. Come to find out the reason i was doing this is i never set any goals to accomplish. I would just do random shit till i got bored. But setting those goals is only half of the equation, you have to sit down and set a clear achievable path to said goal. When i came back a month or so ago i set a goal of a quest cape. Fast foward a month or so and ive done over 80 something quests and gotten the requirements for said quests. Only 5 more to go. I had to take a break from it tho and grind alittle vorkath. Honestly until i did some of the grandmaster quests i had no idea some of the content existed in the game. Like the dt2 bosses lol

The tip on the skilling outfits is VERY important, you can go a lot longer than 4 hrs without the angler set, and in the meanwhile you’ll have NOTHING to show for it. I’d recommend at least 76 fishing before you do the trawler grind so you can at least get sharks.
Over a year ago I said it was time to get my Quest cape. I got really far took a few month break and am back. 12 left
About the skilling outfits:
I recommend the construction one.
2.5% bonus xp means 2.5% less gp spent
I went for it before the maxing grind, and it's not a waste of time, since you also get good xp for good xp in the path towards it
It's not worth it. The 2.5% boost does not work on the Mahogany Homes contract completion bonuses, only on the items you build, so its barely an extra XP. If cost is the prohibitive part of training Construction you should spend the points on the reward crates and sell them on the GE, will make you way more money back than the outfit.

And WHILE you are going for the set you'll get some xp
I didn't mean "max with mahogany homes"
I maxed with mahogany tables
Much better
Yeah it's a lot more expensive, but 750k xp/h
It’s to slow to get
If yall dont buy bonds ur broke in real life
I think my biggest mistake since 2004 was thinking i could never max because of skills like runecrafting, agility, farming, thieving, construction and mining
I'm not maxed yet, but i have 99 in those skills and others
which kinda cleared the path for me to max my acc with the other skills
the mistake i made that i feel kinda was big was making a hardcore ironman when im very paranoid about death in the game
Something you touched on that I think more people need to hear is that burnout is the worst xp waste. Setting a goal and grinding for it is great but it’s also important to learn that it’s okay to take a break from it and do something you enjoy to avoid burnout. I still have a habit of trying to lock myself to a grind and I have to take a step back to remember the time I burnt out doing a thousand CG for the bowfa. I’d rather take a break from an activity and come back than burn out again.
I make this mistake, despite being aware of it. I still hyper fixate on a grind and burn myself out doing so. Every year I would do a massive quest grind only to stop questing for a whole year. Another mistake I used to make was reselling gear to buy other gear for short term playing. Every time I buy gear, I ask myself if I will actually use it and use it enough to justify the purchase.
Just did the fishing trawler grind so I have to correct one thing. Games take 5 minutes yes, but there's a 1 minute wait between games. This means you can only do 10 games per hour, and roughly 5 hours for the set.
Rogues and Graceful outfits are truly worth it, everything else is extra from doing minigames. You might as well get them if you intend to 99 the skill and they're not that hard to get. You're not a bot, you're not gonna efficiently get to 99, that 2.5% helps when you're already spending so much time grinding. You can only spend so much time 2/3 tick skills to 99 before you want to blow your brains out. The outfits benefit people who afk grind more than anything.
I'm stuck in the early mid game...
At that special level where some bosses are technically possible but unless you have a foundation they are nearly impossible to learn
BTW thank you for the speed run thing for jad...
15 attempts and zero fire capes largely from not getting the healers pulled and killed before jad fully heals, and I die from resource starvation
Being able practice transitioning from prayers to npcs would be fantastic
Good luck with your firecape! I got my first cape last year even though I've played RS for about half my life. Take your time. As long as you know what you're doing wrong, you can improve.
Farming is very useful with herb runs. I also has a fishing alt to feed my main through early to mid members and gave a fair amount of gold over time.
@cosmicwonderer6269 not gold it's stagnation
I typically do gold making leveling methods when I can like make bolt vs darts
I also fo farming and birdhouse runs
I got my first fire cape about 2 weeks ago. First attempt ever. I grinded about 400 kc on scurrius in varrock before I tried caves and I swear that was the reason I didn't panic on the prayer flicks. You'll get there bro!
The highest tier bossing for osrs players is pointing and clicking and watching hit splats… chill 😂
one thing on the outfits, the angler outfit is used for tempoross which is one of the best training methods for fishing as well. similar to prospectors.
My mistake was not setting good goals. The biggest break I took from the game was in the middle of a massive vorkath grind. But after I learned to set REASONABLE and SPECIFIC goals, I was having way more fun playing. Goals like "catch one of every impling barehanded". It sounds silly, but seeing it written down got me to finally train hunter and visit Puro Puro, not because I "needed" to, but because I wanted to.
The biggest mistake ive made was playing a main account. I honestly got burnt out really fast just chasing gold and buying stuff. When I switched to exclusively playing iron ive been going strong for over 2 years without getting demoralized because everything you do actually matters for your account
Yep, I play Bronzeman so I have to get good stuff myself, but without the drag of not being able to buy useful materials. It's boring to just buy a whip, for example, but the joy of earning it oneself is much better.
So youd rather solo a social game 😅
Hate to break it to you but osrs is a solo social game, it hardly has multiplayer content compared to single player content.@@Ecu_Key
17:40 most people dont care about those.
Most care about the whales who spend thousands and thousands and then flex like they didnt steal daddys credit card to "achieve" this.
Community is huge. Joined a clan years ago. They've taught me bossing and we even got a sigil drop at mass clan corp. Nice to have people see my progress with me.
I only have one close friend I play with. Joining a clan is intimidating to me, but I think it might be beneficial for me to enjoy the game more than I already do.
@@HyzerFlip I always see them asking each other to boss and do stuff I never tried so it enticed me to get into it! It's not necessary but I think its really worth it! Idk if ours has open access but Im sure I can figure it out if youd want to join!
the woodcutting outfit is worth cus every walk you do you get xp books for different skills. so its worth doing :)
I'd say I made two large mistakes the first time I played.
First, was trying to focus too much on the "optimal" way to level skills. Rather than trying the large variety of methods out there and finding what I enjoyed.
The second was putting off quests in favor of grinding. Only to get stymied when some content I wanted to do was locked behind those quests I ignored, and that would have done a bunch of the leveling grind for me.
My biggest mistake would be focusing so much on melee stats early on. I’m level 125 and have so much slayer to do, but I’m already almost maxed so I feel like I could’ve leveled both slayer and melee at the same time.
Rsn: 28 Grams
Drop rates: I do herb runs. the expected value is ~9 herbs per patch.... I conditioned myself to say "That's not how probability works" when I got more or less than 9 herbs. ie, "Hell yeah! I got 96 herbs on 8 patches! I'm rich!" *that's not how probability works* "Damn, 3 herbs died & this game sucks!" *that's not who probability works*
Just grind, and probability will work itself out.
If you don't upgrade your account you can't get the last emote to finish the varrok medium diary so it forces your old account to be a Jagex account now. Atleast that's what it's appears to be unless you can work around it.
My biggest mistake was not learning about bossing/PvMing sooner, it's such a fun and rewarding content, and you don't need to be maxed to enjoy it (i'm almost maxed).
ReWaRdInG… *Points and clicks*… *Watches hit splat*
Not going to lie I'm really someone finally said it with the bond thing. Buying bonds can really launch you forward and keep you interested without the grind for the gp to even begin the grind you actually want to do
Based take
Speaking of not trusting drop rates, my duo and I went 92 COX dry averaging 55k points. We then hit 2 elder mauls (RIP Tbow dream) and a set of claws within 10 raids. It balanced out the dry streak nicely
My biggest mistake was avoiding certain gear and aesthetic upgrades out of efficiency (i.e., not dyeing graceful outfit). Now I can have mad swag during herb runs while telling the peasants not to touch my foot. RSN: YunoHarmony
I would counter the buy bonds to sell for gold point with the argument that several individuals may feel that their experience has been devalued as they effectively paid for the upgrade and it may not feel as impactful than if they grinded for the gear or even if they grinded out the gold to buy it themselves.
Yeah, I feel the empty inside right now. I set out to get the untrimmed slayer cape, and now that I achieved it, it took me about a solid week before I made a new goal. I am still bouncing between goals with no real commitment, but I am hoping to find the next grind... just slowly banging out combat achievements for some sick upgrades :)
RSN Long Donk
#1 mistake is putting off skulking in favour of PVM. It’s what I enjoy but there’s so many other aspects of the game that compliment your PVM journey if you take the time to invest time outside of killing monsters.
My biggest mistake is trying to learn every single boss mechanic and their attacks first without just trying to the boss out with slight knowledge then going back and learning everything. A good example of this is ToA. You can watch in depth guides on every boss mechanic and you'll end up overwhelmed because it so much. The way I avoided this I did a learner 0 to 50 invo DUO raid with someone that knows it and I had them explain just the basics just get through the raid with them on the spot. Once you do this, then I recommend going and watching in depth guides because they'll make more sense from there and you can progress your learning quicker and at ease that way. A lot of bosses/raids have so much mechanics, specials, attacks, etc... but a lot of them can honestly just be ignored with min detail and there might be 1 more 2 things you actually need to really look out for. I did this same method learning new invos to add to my solo runs too. Another example is Vorkath, he has a lot of different attacks and specials, but honestly, you just need to know when to move over 2 tiles and count ever 6 attacks for his 2 specials and that's really it.. you don't need to know every detail, it'll get overwhelming. Why do you think people like "to the point" guides that makes sense.
RSN: Zoom Reload
a tip i would add is if you care/going to care about collection logs, get alot of those grinds done at efficient times. get the skilling outfits early, lower level collection logs like camdozal, brimhaven agility course before 99, etc.
My first goal was quest cape; and only doing novice quest first then training the skilled needed for the new level of quest makes it fun
I'm an ironman and my normal account is roughly half the total level my ironman is and my fear is losing items when going to fight something, or lose pots/food when bossing only to fail, I had/have to get over that fear using items to progress, and honestly I still have the issue but it's slowly getting better
RSN MacAttack21, I make most of my money in game flipping. My biggest mistake is hording the gp in my bank to get bigger flips to make more money rather than spend it on better gear or getting a maxed house lol. And I will continue to make this mistake despite being aware of it.
My mistake is not valueing my time. Like you said grinding 10 hours for a bond is pointless if that amount of your time is more worth than few euros. Would you buy 10 hours of free time for few euros, I'm sure many of you would. Also doing stuff you don't enjoy. OSN: su dokuke
On the topic of drop rates, when I was getting my dragon defender (just the dragon, not all the way up) I got both halves of the crystal key and multiple rune full helms in the basement before I got my defender. RNG is weird sometimes.
I took forever getting the Bronze - Rune, went way over drop rate on each, got the dragon defender first kill in the basement 🤣🫣
I get better drops unskulled in rev caves only grab a skull when I need food
I got my dragon defender In less than 100 tokens from 0 defenders.
Can't wait to be called out. Biggest mistake was not leveling agility and quitting for a month because of the death alter quest. I swear to god I died 10 times trying to cross that gap.
Oooooh yeah this is underrated for sure. I did this quest with my fiancé and she was around like 68 agi maybe more or less and she couldn’t pass the agility check. We had to grind out a few levels before she was able to do it. On the other hand, I went in with 85 agility and breezed through it rather easily. Agi is def worth having early. I don’t regret grinding it out for moments like the one you mentioned.
Lmao I had to do 2 round trips on this two days ago. 60 agi made it tough but the juice ie xp is worth. The quest saves puzzle progress
That’s normal
Mournings End p1&2 are the definition of migraine….
My biggest mistake so far was trying to train hunter by getting the fish sack at aerial fishing. Top that! RSN: Agilaius
I think you are missing the point with some of those skilling outfits. Fishing Trawler is easy, quite fun and v short. The fish rewards are good for cooking. The outfit helps at Tempeross and will be upgraded, and you need it for an otherwise trivially easy combat achievement. Most importantly, collection log is more fun and rewarding than mere 99 grinds.
Worth noting that if you are australian and wanted to use a VPN to lower your ping in certain worlds it doesn't let you if you're on a jagex account, will just disonnect you from launcher.
EG i want to use a VPN to lower my bing for BH worlds as alot of people do, it just dc's me from launcher while trying to.
care!
Once I've opened the launcher then into runelite you can use a VPN to route your traffic through another location and it works fine. Turning on/off a VPN disconnects and reconnects me.
I'm also an Australian FWIW.
My biggest mistake was trusting someone I truly didn’t know. An in-game friend that I’ve know for 1 1/2 years messaged me asking for help with a Bond. Since they were an Iron Man, in exchange for a bond they would let me kill them for items of equal value. Needless to say, after giving them the bond they blocked me and hopped worlds, never to be seen again.
RSN: King Vanhala
Honestly the friends part is the hardest part. Had lots of friends in the main game. Rs3. I got sick of it and came to OSrS and in turn, left my friends behind in rs3.. I have one irl friend that plays occasionally with me but mostly solo.. hard to find friends these days. Maybe when I'm ready to do raids I'll find a clan to tag along with.. Hopefully I don't get ripped on drops 😅☠️
My biggest mistake is sticking to the best/most popular ways to train a skill. I really dislike wintertodt, even though that's what everyone says to do. Just do what you enjoy. RSN Murunix
My biggest mistake is waiting to buy bonds lol. Once I decided to my account really took off. Felt like the midgame grind was never ending (well it is, I'm still there, but it's much better now). Now I'm able to actually start bossing and doing the PvM things I really enjoy in the game. I appreciate you advocating for this, it makes the game so much more enjoyable if you're feeling stuck and don't have as much time to play as you would like to.
RSN Scuba Steef
Yeah just subbing for a few months at least until you have most quests done and high enough skills is what I’d recommend.
The Jad tip is huge! Will be trying asap
I really like the not trusting drop rates one. I've gotten so demoralized so many times because of it. It took me 2.5k cave horrors to get the black mask and it made me so frustrated. But just killing until i get the item feels more liberating
True i used to think of drop rates all the time it sucked so bad. One thing alot of ppl dont get about a drop rate is regardless of the droprate, the chance of getting that item by the time you hit the drop rate is 64.3% (or maybe 63.4%) regardless of what the drop is. Only 64% of people will get a boss pet by 3000 kc, etc.
Will you consider making a video on the optimal way to get an account ready for raids?
Not really
Think the best advice I can give is no one can take away your xp drops. 13m/skill/max, even if it's 10k xp, will get you closer to your goal. remember it's a grindy game on purpose and there's no time limit to get to where youre going. The biggest mistake imo is overfocusing on a singular thing: once you get tired of one activity/grind, move on to another, even if it's just for an hour RSN
Wasting time grinding for supplies rather than doing a money maker and buying them. Also putting off doing quests until their difficulty was trivial and therefore not enjoyable.
My biggest mistake is being afraid of dying, as soon as I started not caring about dying I started to do bosses and it's the most fun I've ever had in this game!! rsn 0mnix
My biggest mistake is absolutely looking at the drop rate table before doing bosses. Rather, setting expectations of getting drops based off those rates, anyway.
The other thing not mentioned is drop rate is literally the average, so 50% of the time you'll go under drop rate, and 50% of the time you'll go over (or "dry"). People really expect to get spoonfed everything then throw a tantrum when they are "dry" lol
I like to go "Make X amount of money then see how you feel" with consistent bosses like vorkath and zulrah. With drop rate bosses I like to do kill milestones and see how things are then. Makes me focus on feeling the fun rather than hitting the item and helps to forget I'm going for a drop
RSN
biggest mistake is avoiding quests, achievement dairies and combat achievements, while knowing all the benefits of them.
from the past few vids we are legally allowed to say wear blessed d'hide not armadyl
The point at the end of the video of doing x thing in game = earning X Dollars an hour in real life is exactly why (in my opinion) the only mode in the game worth playing is ironman.
And its purely because the fact you can BUY progression. The second you can convert real money to in game success is when the game no longer respects you.
Good thing I don't care about respect lol
@@KaozOSRS Super fair perspective if you don't mind, I just find as soon as real money converts to game progress the game becomes a chore.
If you enjoy it and have the money to spend more power to you.
The biggest mistake I see people constantly make is thinking there is a “right” way to play the game. The game is meant to be fun and you should do the activities you enjoy. EHP and tick manipulation may be fun to some but some might enjoy nmz to get to bosses asap and foregoing skills.
Might be long for a youtube comment but I agree with the bond tip:
I'm on my 5th or 6th account (the others being lost for 1 reason or another) and this is my most progressed by far because I was able to afford a few bonds (finally a real adult with an income) to buy entry level PvM gear. That got me to the point where I finally wanted to sit down and do the fighters torso /dragon defender/questing grinds etc. I understand why some people would feel like they didnt earn their account if they got bonds early, but for me idgaf if the trident in my account is purchased by bonds. Eventually, I'm going to sell it because my account is still in it's infancy and I'll replace it with something better that I grinded for. The grind to a maxed account takes several years sometimes and I was able to skip the very early parts to get to a point that made grinding feel worth it bc I had the bare minimum gear to make it worth it in terms of gp/hour.
Im not a bond buyer but i do buy bonds with gp to fund my memberships and it literally wouldnt be possible without players buying them for an edge up. The only time it ever bothers me (which is just dumb) is when i see a player with a 1kc inferno cape, full torva and a scythe at scurrius and thats their only boss kc. These people have spent thousands of dollars to skip the entire game, i just kind of feel bad for them.
RSN: King Gryndo - My biggest mistake was wearing my fire cape in the wilderness...TWICE! Easily avoidable by double checking in not wearing during clue scrolls / KBD slayer kills
My biggest mistake was recolouring my graceful a second time instead of just getting another set of graceful. Also a good one for your next vid would be to NEVER BUY PEGASIANS. these boots should literally be the final upgrade you get after full torva, ancestral and masori and mega weapons. D hide boots are basically the exact same stats, cost 1/80th of the price and gives you prayer bonus, imo they are better than pegasians but ppl love to break the bank on pegs while wearing full arma
BIGGEST TIP! ~~> stay top right (north east) then drag enemies to walls and always pray mage after wave 30 !!! Do not forget to practice jad with the little trick easily searchable on UA-cam
RSN: ZEEP0
My biggest mistake was buying ToA drops a couple of weeks after the raid launched. I should have waited for the price to settle, because the DPS difference was not worth losing millions every day due to the price dropping.
Much love for this video and and the previous!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video until the end. "Players make a mistake by not paying to win" - real hot take there.
Cry about it
I'm sure plenty of people will consider these as mistakes. My combat level is 116 and I never did fight cave nor gotten a fighter torso.
I think you approached the outfits wrong. For many it’s not a question of getting them or not, it’s a question of when. So the real question is whether or not to wait and get them later rather then sooner.
Jagex accounts have even more benefits than you listed, and it will become mandatory in the future so i would really recommend anyone to upgrade.
People love talking about opportunity cost, when not buying bonds is the biggest and most obvious lost opportunity cost.
My biggest mistake is going for a boss pet. It's making me want to quit. Send help.
I hear you. Just remember it's incredibly rare and often not worth going for, you're better off progressing your account, unless you have all other personal goals completed. Break up any long grinds with small ones, like money making or even a skill level.
Don't feel like you need to lock yourself into a single boss grind. It's so much better if you hop between 2 or 3 bosses every few days. I'm hopping between Levi and Duke for pets right now, making a ton of money in the process doesn't hurt either.
I used to hunt pets when I played rs3 but it felt easier.
Just remember for ANY drop in the game, only 64% of players recive it by the time theyve hit the drop rate, so in this case 64% of players get that boss pet by 3000 kc
I just had to get the angler’s outfit for a master step and it was so brutal. I only regret not doing it earlier - my biggest mistake is putting off untradeable upgrades. Took me until 78 slayer to imbue my helm. RSN: Mustard Frog
You also need the outfit for a combat achievement at Tempoross. Definitely get it.
Hello my biggest mistake is not looking at guides sooner. I've played sense 2007 and just in the past year or so started really paying attention to guides and how they work and I feel foolish for not doing it sooner
My biggest mistake was being born with a brain that fucking DESPISES construction lol
Edit: And quests. Idk why. Just despise them entirely
rsn 6mountain9 THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS my biggest mistake was setting goals of more than I could chew just like you mentioned
Hmm... I'm working on the soulreaper axe at 3/4 pieces Whisperer being my last grind without a shadow on my iron so when you brought up that goal it hit a little close to home although I've been pretty spooned on my axe pieces but 4 min kills is kinda miserable.
My biggest runescape mistake was not buying climbing boots... if you know you know. I was about to invest in a lot of them literally the night before the price change but my fridend talked me out of it. We woke up the next morning and just stared at each other. I never let him live that down.
Rsn exlaax
Great video as always G
15:39 I enjoy earning gold in-game to pay for the bond making it completely free, its a great feeling and a great motivator! So I disagree enormously with that last tip
On that last point, I spent the money on a 3 bond pack and rushed 83 construction. Now I have a maxed house, and use it between almost literally every activity, and I've probably saved hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of gp along with many hours on teleports, spellbook swaps, or walking to a fairy ring/spirit tree/etc.
As far as mistakes, I think my biggest thing is spending more money than I need to on convenience, while I still only have a 100M bank, and 5-10M cash stack. Like yeah, I COULD not bring a cannon to every slayer task. But it's so much faster. I COULD use Maples instead of Yews for tree runs. But they're so much faster. I know could avoid the mistake by just...not doing that. But being honest, I'm probably gonna keep doing it.
Play Ironman
RSN Beefzilla
#1 mistake is not being as adventurous as you should be.
My biggest mistake? not getting the Text so Speach plugin sooner... Hopefully it will get better as time goes on but as a solo player having it is a game changer. RSN: Nexus-X
True the outfits for the most part are completely useless however, who has more style in the end a player with full spirit angler and a 99 fishing cape or a player with only a 99 fishing cape.
Biggest mistake is not learning how to host leeches at barbarian assault for massive gp and instead just playing barbarian assault for fun. RSN: BA Saboteur.
The last point is a really good one! Even at my worst, I buy a bond a week which is only $32/month (even though realistically I buy 1 bond a month or less now). For how much time I spend on this game, the value is there for me EASILY. But in reality, I don't mind supporting this game since i LOVE OSRS and want to see the game do well.
Also, the bossing tip is actually low key a really good one. I didn't believe you at first when you said it, but now that I've taken a break from PVM, I've made much more significant progress towards maxing. Once I max, I can then focus all my energy on PVM!
How are you un-noting your items when ur fighting nex??
Also what’s the add on called that you use to hide your spells and prayers you don’t need?
it was a item from trailblazer
and there’s a filter button for prayers and spells
God damnit I need the magma mutagen and you got in the the video lol. Well need the zulrah pet also
My biggest mistake is borrowing a tbow from my friend as soon as I could wield it , I have made so much gold bought new pieces of gear then instead of selling my old gear I just kept farming more and more gold and buying better and better gear
my biggest mistake was trusting my friend in middle school with my password. bastard cleaned me out!
did not know about the practice jad! tyvm RSN: Muh Kween
Not buying membership and attempting to earn a bond while on f2p. Worst mistake I’ve made in osrs.
for longest time i would play a couple months and then get bored and quit for 2/3 or even 12 months at a time. Come to find out the reason i was doing this is i never set any goals to accomplish. I would just do random shit till i got bored. But setting those goals is only half of the equation, you have to sit down and set a clear achievable path to said goal.
When i came back a month or so ago i set a goal of a quest cape. Fast foward a month or so and ive done over 80 something quests and gotten the requirements for said quests. Only 5 more to go. I had to take a break from it tho and grind alittle vorkath.
Honestly until i did some of the grandmaster quests i had no idea some of the content existed in the game. Like the dt2 bosses lol
RSN Shaedytree , biggest mistake is being too scared to die and lose all my stuff T.T
#1 mistake is not installing runelite or learning about some of it's plugins. Some of m really are game changers (as you also pointed out in the last vid :P). RSN lucmans
RSN v arlamore, my biggest mistake was not subscribing to this channel sooner. Great content and very helpful insight after returning from a long break.
how do you unnote your food and pots inside of your inventory?
You have to convert the certificates at the guy in draynor village
