Holy hell this brought me back. I remember our clan chat was permanently aflame with theories and testing and wondering and more pondering for MONTHS. 10/10
I remember trying to figure this out but once I tried all the ideas I had I gave up. I figured you needed the ring of visibility but I thought you also needed the tokul ring not the ring of stone and I would have never figured out the obsidian shards.
the Off-topic general community back in like 2006-2009 was legit great on the forums, was so much fun back then, then they absolutely ruined it with redoing the forums and the mods who would let us get away with conversations that would otherwise gotten deleted/banned, got replaced and we all moved to our own forums, leaving it a wasteland
I have a confession to make. I have been binge-watching your videos... for a full week. I don't know how to feel about that fact. Specifically, the documentaries about a game that I have not touched for years. Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's pure curiosity, but whichever it was, it would not have been well fulfilled if the documentary was bland, or poorly weaved. These videos, all of them (yeah, binged all of the documentary ones), were anything but those; they were so good imo, that I even watched them again, and again. I'm either mad, or that I really love the way you spoke and sorted the narrative. And the self-made clips (which I'm pretty sure involved some dope volunteers) were honestly fun to watch.
Thank you so much! It really makes me happy to hear you have that experience with the videos. When I started making them, I aimed to recreate the similar feeling I get from well made real life documentaries, but with a sense of comedy, for the game I love. Unfortunately, having seen all these videos a hundred times over in the editing room, they always feel a bit bland when uploading them. Luckily I have a great set of creative friends who guide the videos with me to ensure they're as good as can be. Your experience of the videos means we've done it right, and that brings me tremendous joy. :-) Happy holidays!
Can we just talk about how difficult it can be on mobile to get the probably 800+ Obsidian shards required to finish this mini quest or the fact that that amount of combat alone constitutes a master nearly grandmaster quest in its own right. Damn shifting goalpost
Haven't ever played this game, probably never will. That aside, I enjoy watching these 'history of Jagex/Runescape' vidz more than I should. Hat's of to you and FitMc for introducing me to some amazing Lore into some games I would never play. 10/10
I remember this back in the day. I was really into the lore forums and was following this closely. Although I hadn’t done the quest, I definitely contributed ideas to the search. I didn’t realize this whole thing started as an accident
I remember when they did soem type of scavenging hunt one year where it took months for players to figure it out. I gave it maybe 20 minutes of my time but then I moved on with my life lol. Its like trying to do a quest day one. Ive only done that a handful of times and cant be rage inducing.
@@redere4777 That's where your wrong it was not a hard time gate per say as in you could not get it before then. But a soft time gate as in the creator would not give any more clues until a year had past. I.E you were never gonna get the item clue until after a year. But it does bring up the question had anyone tried to dig in that spot with the items before that date. We'll probably never know but it was a soft time gate of one year.
You should do a video on the search for that purple helmet that took forever to find. I forgot what it is called.. But its apart of a full set of purple looking armor, but the helm took the community ages to find it.
Just so much to figure out. More than just the rings and the shards. Then of course it was finding it after making it visible. I hope the wiki wrong cause it has so much more requirements.
Fun fact. Tibia still has got a quest like this going. But it's unsolved. I present to you: The Serpent Tower Good luck solving it. The only guy who did it won't tell anybody how.
I was sooo involved with this at the start of the hunt but then I stopped playing for a while. I remember when I first heard about it again from some people that were doing it last year, and I found out there was no hunt at first, I was so angry lol. Wasted so much time. Make a video on the strange glowing orb next :), heavily involved with that too and it's similar except the easter egg ACTUALLY EXISTED
Why are you showing clips of the fight kiln, unlocked by the elder kiln quest instead of the fight cauldron, when talking about the brink of extinction?
Runescape's vast history, huh... Showing Elemental Workshop... Is this next video about the questline that'll likely veer way off track from its original purpose since it's been over 10 years since its last quest installment halfway through the series? Hmmmm....
How is no one talking about the god tier “subscribe to will miss it” clip he added in with ZMI. Keep up the great content!
Super weird the Ga'al hunters had subbing to me as a possible step towards the solution!
cause its gay
I agree it was a masterpiece
Irl gp!!! Wish i had digests
This internet historian format is fantastic
Just needs a sponsor segment, and a barely readable Patrons list
@Hey I definitely found it reminiscent of Internet Historian as well with the editing
Ok loser
So that's why the editing feels nostalgic and familliar for some reason lmao
bruh, the level of production here is next level. i play osrs, but loooove how you present rs3

He blew the 27mil on edaters on w3 Lumbridge, then caught keylogger virus from them and now is terminally poor on gp support.

I’m kinda surprised from the ending. I was excepting a total train wreck by the end lol.

Honestly, best video you've released so far. Please do more of these!
This is a great format, please keep using it, it's a compliment to say it's similar to internet historian :)
I bet Will flashes his level 2 prayer to all of his Rune Harmony dates.
How did you know??
@@rswillmissit Bc he's one of them!
You put quite a bit of work into that. You made a great thing.
Being loving your videos, subscribed the other night, a great rabbit hole account.
Welcome to the club!
Mod Stew walking in for another day of work is a mood I aspire to achieve
you've taken your videos to the next level this past year or so. love the content will
The editing on this vid is just hilarious, and dang this is rs history I hadn't any idea about. Awesome vid as always!
Thank you so much!
I love these history videos.
I remember that random NPC who became a part of a future story/quest.
Loving the new format, not to mention the really interesting topics. Keep up the great work! :)
Love the history videos, definitely draws me in. Great content, awesome editing too
The World of Tanks chair @ 2:35 has me dead.
Would love to see you do a video over the crack the clue from osrs
I will! Coming in april :D
Woohooo the old intro is back, i feel so fulfilled. Good video as usual!
It wasn't in the script originally, but I think somebody (you, maybe?) said they missed it, so I added it in, lol
@@rswillmissit yeah it was me haha, good choice
Really kept me intrigued the entire time. Great content!
Haven't ever played this game, probably never will. That aside, I enjoy watching these 'history of Jagex/Runescape' vidz more than I should. Hat's of to you and FitMc for introducing me to some amazing Lore into some games I would never play. 10/10
Can’t get enough of your videos. Keep them coming !
the outro song just hits places in my brain nothing else can hit
The 99/2 = 92 shirt is hilarious

You talking about teh final step of Crack the Clue? for osrs? That took like a year and a half I think xD
@@Mcflapphypants took a year as it was also time gated and the guy that solved it got in on it at the last minute lol.
@@LavitosExodius It wasn't time gated, the mods said we could've gotten it on day one. It was just that hard without all the extra hints
@@redere4777 That's where your wrong it was not a hard time gate per say as in you could not get it before then.

Was very active in that period but had no idea this was going on
I remember it being mentioned, but I never paid it much attention :P
Just as epic as every episode so far! Thanks a lot for this great entertainment + education! :)
Thanks a lot for the support! :D
Once again, killer video. Loving the content lately, keep it up!
You should do a video on the search for that purple helmet that took forever to find. I forgot what it is called.. But its apart of a full set of purple looking armor, but the helm took the community ages to find it.
I tried finding something on this without luck. Was this in RS3 or OSRS?
@@rswillmissit He's talking about the Corrupted Armor in OSRS im pretty sure
Just so much to figure out. More than just the rings and the shards. Then of course it was finding it after making it visible. I hope the wiki wrong cause it has so much more requirements.
What an amazingly put together video. Keep it up my man
These have been my favorite videos that I look forward to weekly ♥️ keep it up! 😁
The dude doing the wrong emote on the left at 6:13 made me wheeze
Fun fact. Tibia still has got a quest like this going. But it's unsolved. I present to you: The Serpent Tower
Good luck solving it. The only guy who did it won't tell anybody how.
Incredibly interesting. Great video!
You got the lore hounds looking like Nick Valentine from Fallout 4 lol
Woah, I havent seen him for a while but Hankmeister is in my clan. Small world!
Damn I love how u made Stu seem like such a cool guy!!
I was sooo involved with this at the start of the hunt but then I stopped playing for a while. I remember when I first heard about it again from some people that were doing it last year, and I found out there was no hunt at first, I was so angry lol. Wasted so much time.
Make a video on the strange glowing orb next :), heavily involved with that too and it's similar except the easter egg ACTUALLY EXISTED
Hey! Which orb is this?
Maybe it was the strange power? I did a video on it last week :D
This is the best plug for subscribe I have ever seen. GOD TIER
These videos are fire, keep it up!
Awesome editing and animations
they should have waited until now and add something about zuk in there out of nowhere.
actual top tier video
Hater
Keep these videos up. They are so good.
This is absolutely awesome. Fantastically made and you made me laugh out loud with that subscribing bait ;)
Thank you for another quality upload.
Great vid btw, I used to play alot of runescape and these hidden stories are a delight
I got PTSD from the raksha music
What about the mysterious perk
I will look it up!
7:40 to 7:46 HAHAHAHAHA! Best way to try and sneak that in there...
Why is there blood on the mith axe but not on any of the others?
My man is learning how to clickbait CORRECTLY
If only people used the term "clickbait" correctly
Clickbait is always sad. And it was only solved after it was created.
"running around like headless chickens, losing their clucking minds" nice, nice *nodding* nice
I gotta sub to you man, this shit is hella good. Not much RS3 content like yours!
2:14 be like:
"source?"
"trust me bro"
"what else has 3 letters?"
"subscribe" ah yes
I must say, Stu has some lovely nails :P
Why is Mod Warden working at Jagex in 2012, when he wasn't?
Can't believe how factually incorrect the video is...
Liked and subscribed
They keep so many secrets from us :(
You really deserve a next golden gnome
Wait, when did the mods admit to this not being a thing from the start?
Stu made a forum post after the Ga'al was found. He also tweeted about it. :-)
Why are you showing clips of the fight kiln, unlocked by the elder kiln quest instead of the fight cauldron, when talking about the brink of extinction?
Oh my god I forgot to replace it. :( I even had a recording of the Fight Cauldron. Oh well, you get the idea though, right?
I definetly got the idea, i was just a little confused :) great video anyways.
"Black Jack and Hookers. I know I would." -rswillissit
i actually want that guys shirt
What a wild tale, the community basically bullied jagex into creating lore that hard to reach.
It's super interesting! The community has a pretty big say.. :P
reminds me of hazelmere's signet ring when it first released
That's true! We should do a video on that too
@@rswillmissit oh wow you responded! Loved the vid
fucking love these vids!! pls dont stop and feed me with this juicy stuff!
the real question is what is the lore behind that mod fella sitting in a world of tanks chair?
Sir, do you know how many pictures there are on Google of an angled back of a gaming chair?
plz players, try to solve login lockout
You my good man have earned a thumbs up, a sub, and this juicy comment for the use of "blackjack and hookers." 😂 in fact, forget the park
I thought that was a bearded Woox
okay seeing $GME here is 200% unexpected
$GME and 200% in the same sentence? Sounds like a good time to buy
@CS1 🚀🚀🚀💎💎💎🤲🏻🤲🏻
If I had 27m, I'd probably spend it getting 2 Construction.
Nice video was intresetting to watch
"Way more visitors than it normally does" *shows literally 56 visitors*
*Me an intellectual* "sounds about right for rs3"
Osrs forums have like 0-5 people active at a time. RuneScape forums just aren’t booming.
Did you try turning it off and back on again?
I remember the day this was solved, the Runescape Forums exploded.
The Runescape historian!
Why does that jmod sit on a world of tanks gaming chair?
now this was fucking amazing!!!!!
youre like the runescape version of fitMC
11:30 Blackjack and hookers sounds nice. But loose the blackjack. Lol Futurama...... love that show. XD
Only 6 months? Some WoW secrets take years to solve and the devs never give any hints.
Wait... 27m GP or dollars?
Gp lol
Runescape's vast history, huh... Showing Elemental Workshop... Is this next video about the questline that'll likely veer way off track from its original purpose since it's been over 10 years since its last quest installment halfway through the series? Hmmmm....
Truly shows how the game ages, doesn’t it
@@rswillmissit It polled lowest on which questline they should continue and I was angry for weeks
@@RiDaku I think people got tired of them milking it out and making it harder to complete each one.
I don't get it. Didn't they solve it and find the Gaal? What exactly was the solution that didnt exist?
Well it didn't exist when they started looking :P
Nice vid bro.
I like his 5G BenQ monitor that isn’t plugged in haha
A sellfone?
no one wanna talk about how Mod Stu's pc ain't plugged in
Shhhh
can you please make a video about the mysterious perk?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? PLEEEASSSEEEE
I'll see what I can find!
TIL RS has lore...
nice story telling
