I stopped playing because I simply didn't have the time and the ability to manage my relationships and other hobbies. Your F2P UIM actually got me back into it due to the slow and steady approach and enjoyment of the game. I now get 1 hour of redwoods in during my commute and will be switching to karambwans after 99. I then also play 4-5 hours every weekend and have been having more fun than ever. Really enjoy the content man keep it up.
yeah ive been playing like that for years now, i got 99 agi, 99 wc, 92 mining, 92 fishing, 99 fletch, 99 cook all just chipping away at it over the last few years. i havent no lifed this game since just out of HS but ive kept making progress
yeah i think it's important to remember, it's just a game, but it's goal oriented and that's what makes it enjoyable. play it in the way that makes it interesting and enjoying for yourself dude
Love your acid soul-esqe videos to listen to. As a skiller who stepped away for a few years due to irl commitments, a lot of what you said rings true to my experience. Learning to be happy with your hour a day of gaming is difficult for someone who used to play 10. I think the important thing is knowing you are making progress and having fun while doing it. Appreciate your videos and hope to see more of them.
a very based player once said that one should keep in mind that efficiency should be contained to how you spend your time in the game rather than how much of your life you shape around the game.
Why on this earth or any would you want 200 mil xp in any skill!?!?! I'm 100% serious here, that is the biggest waste of time I've ever seen in my life across all things
While I do believe in an ideal world one would focus on macroefficiency, as Acid Soul once said, sometimes it is better to cool yourself in the shade of microefficiency. You addressed this of course when saying it is better to be flexible with your methods of grinding than to be rigid and do only the most efficient methods all the time. If you don’t enjoy the most efficient method for a certain skill, you will of course burn out if that is all you try to do. Would love to hear your take on UIM (p2p) EHP, such as going through each skill and saying what gives the best EHP and why. Also your thoughts on what perhaps might be a good, close alternative for similar EHP. Thanks!
I wish there was just oldschool classic where it's the 2007 port with 0 updates, only bug fixes and bot/venny bans. There's more items in the game now than there was pre-eoc lol
Excited to see the uim progress. I like this kind of video. I’m working towards max and playing consistently is the key to not burning out. Not forcing yourself to play either helps a lot.
i disagree that progress for the sake of progress is good. if you define success as simply reaching a goal and adopt an attitude of "willing and ready to take advantage of anything [you] possibly can that gives [you] an edge" then cheating in any and every form isn't off the table including botting. what is the merit in getting to the end of a marathon if you drove a car to get there? in this instance i do not see a compelling reason or justification to ignore the means.
"babe wake up, I made it into an Autumn Elegy video" I'm gonna do my best to stick to my long-term goals, thanks for the advice! Also, why do genies / dunces tend to spawn right before aubury / altar teleports???
I'm still lifting weights and getting stronger. Recently got into powerlifting at a new gym with a coach and I'm going to be going to meets soon. In PR territory currently. Enjoying it a lot :)
One thing that I don't see discussed very often in the content creator community is playing other games. Something that I struggled with for a long time was setting healthy expectations for progress in my account when I like to play a lot of other games and I end up taking long breaks or going for stretches of time where I make little progress because my main focus during my gaming time is on something else. I would compare my achievements to someone who has been playing only runescape but for a shorter period of time and get demotivated. Since I've gotten over that hump I've enjoyed the game a lot more just making sure when I am playing I'm making progress towards my goals and letting those little chunks of progress I make add up over time. Now I'm gonna be maxing my account this week for the first time in 17 years of playing the game.
This video was kinda mid tbh. Many of the points about being efficient and everything don't really matter in the end when it comes to achieving long term goals. The only thing you should suggest to players is to be lenient with their training methods and the amount of time they play and to avoid burnout over everything else, because players that don't experience burnout have no limit to how far they can go. Efficiency is secondary
This video proves that runscape players are different kind of animals ;D maxing regular account is realiatically a 4 year plan, and we are talking about collog and 200mills ;D
Just play better games that don't force you to play thousands of hours for a "decent account". Games that are more interactive and don't consume your life.
i dont do dailys, im terrible at them, and when i see the lack of daily affecting my gameplay it gets demotivating at times. like my herb is hurting because i dont do the herb runs. my hunter okay cause i have 83. rushed it for glory. but id be 90 by now for sure if i did birdhouses the last 2 years. ive done 0.... so i know my strengths and weaknesses. too much to do daunts me and i just shell up and do something not most efficent for account, but is more interactive and dopamine return.
when i was younger, i would do redic grinds non stop. coming in on 30, and my brain doesnt work well like that anymore. need more stimuli. i think its the fact that i know ill never be super efficent, so why even try type thing. just be efficent when it interests me. like thieving is fun with black jacking. construction with garden benches doesnt interest me. agility alching is interesting to me, but other 0 time things like fletching are not interesting to me.
Since you consider yourself one of the best tick manipulators in the game will you ever attempt to improve the 6h record for mining (anything higher than a 750k) and perhaps a ramble about how you used to race with Ajeh for rank 2 in order finish next to your hero Acid back in your prime days
What about just completing things rather than completing things quicker? Do you think that burning out is inevitable and so doing things quicker will make goals easier to achieve?
He talks about playing like 6h a day like is a small amount of time, people burn out if they feel anxious, if they feel like they are competing, if we just stop trying to play ''efficiently'' everyone would get further.
I'd get a thrill out of a video (not even a real guide, but just a ramble) about how to get 100k slayer xp/h. I know there is information out there, but for a casual like me, it's hard to know what is actually the best technique. Maybe briefly touch methods that aren't the most efficient, but don't require alts. I loved your old slayer guides and still watch them, though they are outdated. Also, big grats on 90 rc on the f2puim, you're insane! :)
@@birdbrid9391 thx, but I already watched those. Half of his methods use multiple alts with spec transfer etc. as it's obv the meta, but I don't like it
I've always wondered how you script your videos. There is no silence or pausing really, your sentences flow together and are incredibly coherent. Do you write up a script or is most of this video off the top of your head?
For this video I wrote down my talking points as short bullets and just winged it off of those. The full recording had lots of silences and pauses but I edit those out.
I played RS since 2005, and watched your videos since you did your first maxing series, time flies... Losing myself in games/hobbies/weed was how I coped with a purposeless life. The truth is that 99 capes, GP and even worldly success like promotions or friendships are ultimately a vapour that will dissipate as quickly as it arises. Consider the Gospel of Matthew 6:19-21, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." We yearn for more than this life has to offer because there is more to be found. I pray that anyone reading this would come before the Father in submission, to gain access to true peace that is found in Christ. God bless you all. Please feel free to ask any questions, I would love to answer.
@@oliverwebby1484 Thanks for the thoughtful question. Spending time on hobbies is not inherently wrong. I definitely enjoy spending time playing board games with friends, playing guitar, etc. The line is crossed when that "hobby" starts taking away from more important parts of life. It took a long time for me to realize that in playing RS excessively I was neglecting objectively more important things like sleep, family, music, work and, most importantly, time spent finding answers to life's big questions which ate away at me. If your conscience tells you, even for a split second, that RS is taking away from more important things, I urge you not to suppress that feeling like I did for many years. Our purpose is to be a light unto the world, glorifying God (the source of all goodness) in everything that we do, that goes for all of us, believer or not. My hope is that everyone will choose the fullness that is found in a life obedient to our loving Creator. To answer your first question, I spend my time now sleeping better, eating well, working hard to provide for my family, time in fellowship with loving brothers and sisters, serving friends and family with the gifts God has given me and most importantly learning about the nature of our very being from His word. All of that said, the glory is all to God because it is by his transforming grace we can walk in new life and be freed from darkness.
@@amp4105 Spending evenings giving thanks, enjoying time with brothers and sisters and singing praises to the Lord is a "bigger cope" than throwing life away at making pixel numbers go up? To think that those two things are in the same category is a reach, but to think that video games are superior is evidence of a mind clouded by sin and rebellion. I respectfully suggest you repent, put your allegiance with the risen King Jesus. You will have a life more abundant than you can currently imagine, I've been there.
Tbh i don't consider anyone who maxed after 2017 on the same level as the OG's who did it before Nieve's cave rework/catacombs. Basically a fraudulent cape in my eyes. What's pushed me away from OSRS is Jagex continuously making the game easier for casuals to get 99's. I maxed before zeah even came out and since then they've continuously made updates to the game that trivializes this. I'm very elitist and the BEST time of OSRS was from 2013-2016 in my eyes. That was OG runescape. This frankenstein version we have now is not OSRS. It's RS2-1/2. Faster XP rates, better drops, loot table changes, everything. Slayer used to be 60k an hour max efficiency. Bloodvelds were the best task in the game when I finished slayer. Ah, i digress. To be honest the best way to achieve "long term goals" in this game is to wait a few years for them to buff the xp rates of every skill by double the amount and then train it.
'13-'16 was great. For me the breaking point of that era was introducing Zeah RC, gigantic crutch for people that never wanted to RC in the first place. That said I still really enjoy the game. I liked RS in '05 and '06 and could still enjoy 2011-2012, and likewise I think this version of the game is quite good, albeit different. I don't concern myself with efficiency anymore, don't see the point with a client like RuneLite around + the general QoL they've rolled out.
How to achieve long term goals on osrs: convince yourself this is worth wasting hundreds/thousands of hours on and then wrongly convince yourself it’s fun. Also make sure to NOT have a job so you have plenty of time to tweet out your achievements to your circlejerk of other players who base their self worths on this game. That’s the biggest key.
The funny thing here is that people don't comment about people watching hundreds/thousands of hours on other hobbies, or watching netflix, but when it comes to video games everyone likes to act like they're below them. It's such a "you're not allowed to spend time doing things if I wouldn't do it myself" mentality and it's quite embarrassing
I disagree with nearly everything you shared here. Constantly changing what you do and slacking off from your goals makes you lose momentum and is literally why you’ve failed to achieve your goals.
Imagine what else you could have accomplished either in game or irl if you didn't have 200m agility on 5 accounts. That's what you wanted to do though and goals can change over time. Just because he didn't continue his main doesn't mean he isn't reaching personal goals, he plays his UIM now and focuses on irl. He didn't enjoy his main grind anymore, it wasn't that he failed. He doesn't even say to constantly change what you're doing. He says it's ok to switch skills if it keeps you going, don't be afraid to do lower EHP methods if it furthers your goal, optimize your time, and find where you can multiskill to 0 time. This video is about keeping you going even if it means doing less optimal methods overall and figuring out what that means for you and that's his point.
@@leesang-hyeok3287 He told me nearly a decade ago that he was going to bank a crap ton of Brimhaven Agility tickets as part of his larger goal of doing a massive record day on CML. He abandoned Brimhaven after a brief time and switched to other stuff, never to return. I have seen this happen time and time again among players in the Overall community. By switching it up all the time, they lose momentum and it makes it harder to come back and finish one’s main goal. Taking extended breaks is the last thing you want to do and Autumnelegy is proof of it. Listen to the successful, not the failures, when looking for advice. With regards to my real life situation, I have a strong career going for me. Doing my 1b Agility goal did not prevent me from pursuing a career; in fact, I’ve applied the goal-oriented mindset I developed in RS to my real life career as well, which has been a big part in why I’m now pulling $150k this year as a Principal Software Engineer.
@@The1Jebrim Losing interest and not pursuing something that doesn't mean anything to you anymore doesn't mean you failed. He certainly could have done it and still could but he doesn't want to. He says in this video that taking extended breaks because of menial grinds that burn you out is bad. Tunnel visioning on an activity you don't see value in anymore is a really easy way to burn out. That's why he says that making concessions and finding what works for you to keep you going is what's best. He's right, not everyone can be a max ehp perfect route player and not everyone has to try to be. You can achieve goals and enjoy the game while not doing that. His advice is good for all types of players. It encourages optimizing time for macro efficient long term players, and balancing time for less efficient players. Good for you that you've been able to be successful also but it doesn't seem correct to tear him down here.
@@leesang-hyeok3287 Even when he was claiming he’ll eventually get back to his Brimhaven goal, the very act of taking an extended break from it is what doomed it from the start. And it’s not just that one goal either, he’s set many goals that’s he’s failed to follow through on. Don’t listen to his advice. Have tunnel vision and focus hard on just one thing first before moving onto the next. Even his comments about doing buyables first is misleading; those who’ve never pushed themselves by doing slower, less afk skills early on find it difficult to transition from fast buyables to harder skills later on. In contrast, those who’ve done harder skills first end up breezing through the faster ones no problem. This is because they’ve built up their mental state and standards through harder challenges to be able to overcome the easier challenges.

The secret to maintaining long term goals is to not do boring shit 😴
How to achieve long term goals on osrs: convince yourself this is worth wasting hundreds/thousands of hours on and then wrongly convince yourself it’s fun. Also make sure to NOT have a job so you have plenty of time to tweet out your achievements to your circlejerk of other players who base their self worths on this game. That’s the biggest key.
The funny thing here is that people don't comment about people watching hundreds/thousands of hours on other hobbies, or watching netflix, but when it comes to video games everyone likes to act like they're below them. It's such a "you're not allowed to spend time doing things if I wouldn't do it myself" mentality and it's quite embarrassing
Alts and 0-time gp are unethical. Just because Jagex has given up on maintaining integrity in their game doesn't mean that the players should too.
How is your Brimhaven Agility tickets goal going?
Gained about 20k tickets in the last few months :)
@@AutumnElegy O.O progress!!!
I disagree with nearly everything you shared here. Constantly changing what you do and slacking off from your goals makes you lose momentum and is literally why you’ve failed to achieve your goals.
God damn jebby that was cold 🥶
Imagine what else you could have accomplished either in game or irl if you didn't have 200m agility on 5 accounts. That's what you wanted to do though and goals can change over time. Just because he didn't continue his main doesn't mean he isn't reaching personal goals, he plays his UIM now and focuses on irl. He didn't enjoy his main grind anymore, it wasn't that he failed. He doesn't even say to constantly change what you're doing. He says it's ok to switch skills if it keeps you going, don't be afraid to do lower EHP methods if it furthers your goal, optimize your time, and find where you can multiskill to 0 time. This video is about keeping you going even if it means doing less optimal methods overall and figuring out what that means for you and that's his point.
@@leesang-hyeok3287 He told me nearly a decade ago that he was going to bank a crap ton of Brimhaven Agility tickets as part of his larger goal of doing a massive record day on CML. He abandoned Brimhaven after a brief time and switched to other stuff, never to return. I have seen this happen time and time again among players in the Overall community. By switching it up all the time, they lose momentum and it makes it harder to come back and finish one’s main goal. Taking extended breaks is the last thing you want to do and Autumnelegy is proof of it.
Listen to the successful, not the failures, when looking for advice.
With regards to my real life situation, I have a strong career going for me. Doing my 1b Agility goal did not prevent me from pursuing a career; in fact, I’ve applied the goal-oriented mindset I developed in RS to my real life career as well, which has been a big part in why I’m now pulling $150k this year as a Principal Software Engineer.
@@The1Jebrim Losing interest and not pursuing something that doesn't mean anything to you anymore doesn't mean you failed. He certainly could have done it and still could but he doesn't want to. He says in this video that taking extended breaks because of menial grinds that burn you out is bad. Tunnel visioning on an activity you don't see value in anymore is a really easy way to burn out. That's why he says that making concessions and finding what works for you to keep you going is what's best. He's right, not everyone can be a max ehp perfect route player and not everyone has to try to be. You can achieve goals and enjoy the game while not doing that. His advice is good for all types of players. It encourages optimizing time for macro efficient long term players, and balancing time for less efficient players.
Good for you that you've been able to be successful also but it doesn't seem correct to tear him down here.
@@leesang-hyeok3287 Even when he was claiming he’ll eventually get back to his Brimhaven goal, the very act of taking an extended break from it is what doomed it from the start. And it’s not just that one goal either, he’s set many goals that’s he’s failed to follow through on. Don’t listen to his advice. Have tunnel vision and focus hard on just one thing first before moving onto the next. Even his comments about doing buyables first is misleading; those who’ve never pushed themselves by doing slower, less afk skills early on find it difficult to transition from fast buyables to harder skills later on. In contrast, those who’ve done harder skills first end up breezing through the faster ones no problem. This is because they’ve built up their mental state and standards through harder challenges to be able to overcome the easier challenges.
