You made the right decision the rest of the content was good but this was weird. If you can't control yourself you should put one in at the end of each video as an easter egg.
Jagex banning innocent people is becoming more and more common - even for older and more established accounts. And they unfortunately don't even seem to read the appeals and just deny them automatically.
There has never been a more Jagex moment than the end of this video. Truly incredible. Hopeful that your next account goes better. I like the idea of Skillmac II following in his father's footsteps to avenge his wrongful death.
I had this happen to me, only to have that account be unbanned 7 years later. My childhood account that's 20 years old now got banned at the release of OSRS. It got unbanned in 2022 and the macroing major ban is nowhere to be found anymore. To be clear, I didn't bot, I got made fun off on the forums and reddit and just quit playing for 2 years until I decided to make a new account.
What's most frustrating about these situations is that there really is no customer support. It seems to be completely automated as far as I can tell and if it happens to you there's no recourse.
Yeah, Jagex is just stealing as much money as they can. They know you'll just make another account and pay them more. I wouldn't be surprised if they detect 'botting' by how often and for how long your game sessions last. They're just bleeding the most devout players for cash.
@@Vesdus Facts. Honestly, recently been losing my interest in the game pretty harshly. I hadn't played for nearly a decade, and finally committed about a 7-month straight grind this year. Nearly got 80 base stats, and combats up in the 90s, with some bossing done. Have to ask: how do you guys keep the motivation? Knowing most of the player base are bots and/or gold sellers, and knowing even your ironman accounts could get falsely permabanned by an automated support and bot-detection team? Is this the type of moment where you realize the numbers-going-up dopamine isn't enough to keep you going and you just go back to other games and hobbies? 🤷
Love this idea. I guess the only silver lining is at least this happened relatively early so shouldn't be completely soul destroying to get v2 caught up
The weapon icon in attack is a dagger so you should be using a dagger instead of a sword And since the defence icon is a med helm its med helms for life
Love this idea for a series. There is always so much skipped over especially in early game. It might be worth looking at the level up tables on the osrs wiki. They have everything you can do for each level of a skill. It could be handy for something like cooking or construction that has a lot of categories and items. It might even function as a checklist if sorts or a good place for a visual representation of what needs to be done each level. Cheers, definitely looking forward to more!
Yep 100% those level up tables have been a huge source of info for me! I studied them and made a spreadsheet as well of things actually doable! Thanks for watching!
@@FrankGlymes I'd say the biggest challenges would be getting 70+ attack / 65 defence for the abysmal drop rates on items like bandos or whips. Mage and Range wouldn't be too bad I don't think?
I am so glad I didn't read the comments before watching this, that ending was absolutely hilarious. Your new account name should be something cheeky about the way your first account "died"
500 likes in 3 days, really good outcome for a fresh new idea. I'd send an appeal-appeal to get the account back, linking to this video, but even if that doesn't work, I'd be interested in seeing a full series dedicated to this concept!
Full series is definitely coming I've already been working on the 2nd account! And yeah the support is crazy! I didn't expect everyone to like it this much! Thank you!
The fact that there is a play list on your channel of every episode in this series cleanly laid out and your still going.. defs bout to start grinding this out nice
Been subbing to a lot of small Runescape channels lately and this is yet another one. Fun stuff, glad I'm here for the start of it so i can see the growth. That ending though, being banned for playing the game is always Bullshit lol... I hope that doesn't make you quit the journey.
Being banned for nothing is enough to make most people quit. Jagex is really cutting off their own nose with the latest bannings. Especially when they deny all of the appeals.
The more I think about it the more I'm curious about some skills, smithing will need bars when you shouldn't be training with bars, herblore will need clean herbs likewise, cooking might need more fish than you can get from training fishing, multiple skills rely on woodcutting... Really interested in how this evolves Good luck with the appeal, this is ridiculous, I guess it's gotta do with bots doing their things on bare minimum stats and you by definition will be doing everything on minimum stats, I hope it can get sorted out and that this won't be a recurring theme
I'm so glad it's got you thinking! I had a look at skills on the way to 30 and smithing in particular is going to be very annoying since I will have to obtain bars by other means like spawns/shops. As for clean herbs, it's likely something of an exception as clean herbs are difficult to obtain. We'll see how it goes and how it evolves!
@@FrankGlymesI'm not sure if you get xp this way, but Zahur will clean herbs for 200 gold per, and if you complete the hard desert diary, unfinished potions for the same cost. Just don't think about how expensive this will be.
This is awesome man. I have been theory crafting this idea and thought about making acount this way 2 and videos for about 2 months glad someone has put in action. Love the work keep it up man
Haven’t even watched any of the vid yet but thank you for making this. I had this idea the other day but I’m not cut out for it, glad to see it come to fruition
@@FrankGlymes damn i did not see that ending coming but it was nice seeing your upload as soon as i finished knowing the series wasn't dead. keep it up king
Great stuff man! You have a really uplifting energy and seeing how much you enjoy this games get me all nostalgic for the early days when the game was so much fun!
Commenting again because it deserves the algo attention. This creator went from a few hundred views to 23k in 5 days, they are elated and it’s so wholesome seeing them reply to every comment because the stoke is high. Everyone like and comment let’s get this dudes channel bumping!!!
😂 'the way jagex intended' is kinda paradoxical, most of the game is bugs that jagex decided was intended gameplay. I love osrs cause the players dictate the best methods and what the game really is. A big thank you to my fellow nostalgic nerds who keep runescape alive for us all to get that 99 or abysil whip we never got as kids. Anyway, i digress, amazing idea for a series and you got my sub, i have a feeling i'll learn a lot about osrs outside efficient training from this series. Before i get any replies, yes i am drunk and rambling...yes i can barely string a sentence together but i don't care. Just showing appreciation to my fellow nerds.
few problems that'll arise with this account later on if exceptions aren't made somewhere along the line, you seem to be able to use any equipment for melee with the exception of only using items that show up in the strength skillguide to train strength, but you're limited to only the highest level spell you can cast, which is just going to completely lock you out of magic once you hit level 96 as the only 2 spells you can use then are the ghorrock teleport and swap spellbook. with mining from 85-90 you'll be stuck only mining runite, which is 16,702 runite ore, which is over 150 hours of just mining runite, which is going to severely slow down everything and end up being almost useless since you can't even mine more than 181 coal to go with it and slayer, since that entirely depends on the task you get, but you can't get the same task back to back, ever, you're going to be locked out of slayer pretty quick, since for example you can't kill your assigned task of basilisks at level 45 just think some exceptions will absolutely have to be made for this account to even work also the random, extremely loud "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"s shatters your ears if you're using headphones so maybe don't do that in the future
You're right - about everything even the hmmmm which I have stopped haha I'll cross later skilling bridges when it comes to it , it'll be a long time before I have 80/90's in a skill and I'll focus on enjoying the journey there first! Slayer will have to be a bit different you're right as I can't control my tasks, I'll make sure I kill the monsters I unlock but I won't be able to skip endlessly without levelling to only get the slayer creatures I have at that level.
this is a really well made video. nice cutting and welldone voiceover! and this series idea is really good and different enough from the masses to hopefully bring you many new followers.
Man im not a hater, you are doing really great, i loved the idea, the editing, almost everything! Please stop screaming randomly with a high voice, you dont need to push with that because your commentary is great. Hope to see alot of more episodes.
I can't wait for your Agility Pyramid episode. I remember doing it when I unlocked it.... It's going to be funny to watch. Haha. Good luck, this is a fun series.
Very fun idea, makes the start of the game something else than the usual chop tree - fish shrimp - mine copper/tin 😁 I think a combo of live commentary & voiceover is really enjoyable! Hope the next acc doesn’t end this way 😭
Your activity order was probably so unusual they probably assumed it was a new bot testing to see if they could avoid the bot detection. It's probably pretty normal for them to get accounts like yours(weird) being flagged, but them actually being bots
i was gonna be like "take a shot for every time he goes 'hHHnnNNN' in response to something" but you did it so much that i started to suspect it was some kind of tick and felt bad. i'm still not fully certain. anyways, this is a super dope premise and the video was great so i hope you're able to get your account back.
Amazing series idea. I dont think anyone has mentioned this yet but you spent 450gp on antipoison so i thought id let you know there is an antipot spawn near castle wars, they are 1 doses but u can hop and collect them for 20 mins so ul have a bunch in your bank. Defo excited to see more!
Love the idea. If you manage to get the account back it would be interesting to see how you manage to train combat bc all combat skills have some crazy weapon or armour to get by level 30-70
Thanks! Already started a new account! Yeah combat is going to be very difficult! Some weapons and armour will be locked behind some Quests so we won't be able to wield them at that level, more in future episodes!
Noticed the title so I popped in Jagex banned you because you played the game EXACTLY as they intended and they had a heart attack realizing the potential of the account cheers
Not sure if you touched on agility (haven't yet watched the video), but how will it be handled? Are you going to level up using shortcuts when they are unlocked? Or is it just to do everything for level and train with anything at that level or below?
Last week, i tought up doing this challenge. Lucky for me you already do it so now i only have to watch someone else do it instead of sitting through the unique pain that is,, this.
I hope we get to see another version of this. I had a couple of questions though, firstly about armour. Are you always going to be wearing the highest level armour you can, and forced to use that while using that style? For example if you get 20 defence can you no longer wear black armour while in combat? And will you be forced to use the best version, like platebobdy instead of chain, full helm instead of med? Second I was wondering what will you do if a new unlock is only available through the skill you're doing. Do you continue training that skill anyways until you unlock it or what is your plan?
Second episode is on the way! And yeah if I hit say 20 defence I have to wear Mithril armour, not black. I don't have to wear the entire set or anything, just at least one piece of that armour doesn't matter which piece. Your second one is a good question, in the next episode this kind of comes up where I can't build a Birdhouse at 5 crafting as a Clockwork needed to make one requires 8 crafting - so I simply can't do that activity and move on, but have to complete the other unlock at 5 crafting to progress - a gold ring.
You're basically capped at 93 cons. Marble is needed for the one unlock you get at 93. I take it you're not gonna go 93-94 cons using marble. You have a similar issue with herb, farming, hunter, cooking, and tons of skills. You should address these issues before you reach them. Cool idea though, I'm interested to see it played out.
As we get deeper in, I'll probably do some theorycrafting discussions outside of the videos or deep into them - but yeah, it isn't a perfect idea as some roadblocks will actually be so difficult/impossible to get over. Should be a fun journey anyway haha
@@FrankGlymes getting out of the early brackets is going to be tedious, the mids will be easier, then it's gonna be even tougher with certain skills like crafting and RC.
I was like "why would he be a Spurs fan if hes Australian? That's pretty random" then I remembered I'm a Spurs fan and I'm American. There are dozens of us! Unless that was just an offhand comment in which case carry on regardless
How does this work when past the level of a requiremenr and you already did it? Like for example you unlock runite ore at 85, do you have to mine runite all the way until 92 for amethyst? Or can you mine whatever you want as long as you mined runite once?
For something like Runite Ore, since it's an easily repeatable action I'd mine it all the way to 92. For something like Smithing a DFS, it's likely I'd only be able to do that once haha
Really love this series idea but what the hell is Jagex doing with the macro detection...? It sucks that often the only way to get that fixed is to already have a huge following and to cause a stir on Twitter
Yep, that seems the way haha Luckily the account was so new, I didn't mind starting again (thankfully only paid a month membership) but it'd be grim if I'd spent days of my life on the account
So you missed the pysk fish? Shame. Love the concept! Would like to see it with some checklists on screen. I imagine it could get out of hand very quickly.
I got the pysk fish later in the episode, squeezed it in at 4 Fishing before the next unlock at 5. Will do some editing of checklists and stuff for sure, good idea!
Fuckin' classic ending lol. I always used to call "bullshit" on those posts of people complaining about unfair bans etc. Then I shit you not it happened to me... Came back from playing after a 2 year break, went to Venenatis, got a Voidwaker gem, sold the bastard, upgraded the gear, went to bed & woke up banned - Appeal denied, same as you!! It's fucking unreal. Looking forward to episode 2 mate.
Thanks legend! Same here, I was sceptical of some claims for sure - especially since sometimes it comes out later that they did cheat/bot. They said bot detection is more enhanced with Jagex Launcher but perhaps too enhanced!! Sucks about your account mate, they really need better customer support for this stuff
I bought membership for the first time in my life a couple months ago, excitedly played for a day, woke up the next morning banned for 'botting' and my appeal was denied. I'll never buy membership again until Jagex reimburses me. Stole my $10 and broke my heart. What absolute crooks.
Really cool series idea! I wonder if there is a way you could get a plugin made that grey's out the skill guide until you unlock the level and do all other things under it. keep it up!
I didn't even think about that! I haven't done any tinkering with Runelite plugins but I'd be keen to learn so it shows something on screen. Like if I'm levelling Fishing it has a checklist of the fish available at that level - you're a genius!
I'll be looking into it for sure! For now, I'll try to at least have an image on screen or something for the level we are going for or at least make it clear with the commentary@@repetitivemusicenthusiast
So I'm curious, are you allowed to use quest xp rewards to skip terrible hurdles? It seems only fair to strategize how you can use xp rewards to skip undoable grinds or grinds that require multiple skills (e.g it might be impossible for you to practically get tips and bolts to train magic in large enough quantities to get to a threshold)
Great question! I address this more in episode 2 but currently I'm not allowing quest exp to level me up. I can do quests but only once my level is high enough that I won't level up from finishing it. It makes for some interesting grinds! And yeah magic is actually locked for a while!
Extremely excited to start this series. See you in a few hours!! Okay had to come back to say I can not believe you were banned... actually makes me wonder how many people have been false banned and never were able to get an appeal. Hope it doesn't happen to me!
Like imagine if one day the employees responsible for the bans had their tires slashed. And they called the police, and they said. "Welp, sorry, but we're 1000000% sure you deserved it. Tough." Like??? Just running people's weeks for no reason
Thankfully it's a new account but would be gutting for an account someone had spent a lot of time on. I've already made the 2nd account anyway, though makes me hesitant buying membership more than a month at a time haha
@@FrankGlymes They're literally just stealing people's money $10 at a time. It happened to me the very first time I bought membership and now I'll never buy it again. Absolute crooks.
me the last 8 days: no i'm not watching the video me today: ok i'll watch it. nothing better to do. me at the end: so worth it just to see it get banned. not because it's fair it's just really funny (classic jagex) hope it gets resolved
Maybe the ban for "macroing" was because he was literally named "Skillmac" and you got mass-reported by everyone who saw you doing weird shit as any challenge ironman does.
I like the mix of live & voice over! Haven’t finished the video yet but just a question- why hardcore? I’m guessing from some comments that it didn’t go your way (RIP spoilers). Why not just a regular iron? I’m not sure what being hardcore adds to the series. You could even do it as a main!
It wasn't the hardcore status that was lost hahaha I figured it'd add an extra layer to it - doesn't really matter if I die but I'm keen to laugh at what I eventually fall to - won't really impact the series!

Innocent people never really expect to be banned for nothing. :/
Love this idea. I guess the only silver lining is at least this happened relatively early so shouldn't be completely soul destroying to get v2 caught up
Thank you! And yeah, it wasn't too painful!
The weapon icon in attack is a dagger so you should be using a dagger instead of a sword
And since the defence icon is a med helm its med helms for life
Hahaha yeah look that's on me
The default unarmed attack for strength xp isn't a punch, it's a kick. The strength skill icon shouldn't be a fist, it should be a foot.

with mining from 85-90 you'll be stuck only mining runite, which is 16,702 runite ore, which is over 150 hours of just mining runite, which is going to severely slow down everything and end up being almost useless since you can't even mine more than 181 coal to go with it
and slayer, since that entirely depends on the task you get, but you can't get the same task back to back, ever, you're going to be locked out of slayer pretty quick, since for example you can't kill your assigned task of basilisks at level 45
just think some exceptions will absolutely have to be made for this account to even work
also the random, extremely loud "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"s shatters your ears if you're using headphones so maybe don't do that in the future
You're right - about everything even the hmmmm which I have stopped haha
I'll cross later skilling bridges when it comes to it , it'll be a long time before I have 80/90's in a skill and I'll focus on enjoying the journey there first!

Thank you, much appreciated!
Your activity order was probably so unusual they probably assumed it was a new bot testing to see if they could avoid the bot detection. It's probably pretty normal for them to get accounts like yours(weird) being flagged, but them actually being bots
Haha didn't think about that! You could be on to something!
This might be the most convoluted account I've ever seen lmao - excited to see you progress
WAIT WHAT?? Appeal denied??? I'm shook
So was I! The 2nd account is underway though, should be a good journey!
I really enjoyed this series. Especially the end of episode 1.
This is a cool concept Frank
Love this from you!!
Thank you legend, hope you've been well!
@@FrankGlymes Much love
Ahhh a missed opportunity!
Thanks mate, the second episode is on it's way!
Found this series on reddit, I love your voice and editing style! Great stuff brother
Great! Thanks so much mate that means a lot, enjoy the series!
Wicked idea mate- looking forward to seeing more
Thank you!
gotta love the language used in the ban message as well about their systems being infallible. :-)
Of course...
Glad I stumbled on your channel man! Great stuff.
Thank you! Welcome :)
i was gonna be like "take a shot for every time he goes 'hHHnnNNN' in response to something" but you did it so much that i started to suspect it was some kind of tick and felt bad. i'm still not fully certain. anyways, this is a super dope premise and the video was great so i hope you're able to get your account back.
Ahhhh it's more a habit/joke my mates and I do - I didn't even realise I did it that much haha
Have cut it out for future vids
@@FrankGlymes aw man i didn't mean to make you self-conscious about it D: it's funny, don't feel like you have to cut it
Can’t wait to see you train 53-54 fletching =)
Oh god!!! RIP Fletching
Lol the confusing birds part made me chuckle
Hahaha glad you liked it!
Pretty neat idea. Good luck on those 3rd age grinds!
Lol thanks, I think I'll be making an exception for those
"I'm Skillmac, confuser of birds!"
-Skillmac, confuser of birds.
Glad you liked that haha
Amazing series idea. I dont think anyone has mentioned this yet but you spent 450gp on antipoison so i thought id let you know there is an antipot spawn near castle wars, they are 1 doses but u can hop and collect them for 20 mins so ul have a bunch in your bank. Defo excited to see more!
Thanks legend!!
Love the idea. If you manage to get the account back it would be interesting to see how you manage to train combat bc all combat skills have some crazy weapon or armour to get by level 30-70
Thanks! Already started a new account!
Yeah combat is going to be very difficult! Some weapons and armour will be locked behind some Quests so we won't be able to wield them at that level, more in future episodes!
Noticed the title so I popped in
Jagex banned you because you played the game EXACTLY
as they intended and they had a heart attack realizing the potential of the account
cheers
Hahaha you're right I think, luckily the 2nd account remains intact
@@FrankGlymes Nice
"get in the net" favorite part, ill be watching this series
😂
Ah man definitely enjoyed this! Disappointing ending...
Don't worry, the series will continue! Glad you enjoyed it!
i love thios idea for a series! your commentary is cool too! :)
Thank you so much!
The fact that you got banned was so sad. I was really hoping to see this idea continued.
Don't worry mate it will!
I've already made a second account haha
Yeah, Jagex is just stealing from people at this point.
Not sure if you touched on agility (haven't yet watched the video), but how will it be handled? Are you going to level up using shortcuts when they are unlocked?
Or is it just to do everything for level and train with anything at that level or below?
I'm going to do shortcuts if they give XP :)
Whatever the most recently unlocked thing is that's how I'll do it!
Last week, i tought up doing this challenge. Lucky for me you already do it so now i only have to watch someone else do it instead of sitting through the unique pain that is,, this.
Haha glad you enjoy my pain
I hope we get to see another version of this. I had a couple of questions though, firstly about armour.
Are you always going to be wearing the highest level armour you can, and forced to use that while using that style?
For example if you get 20 defence can you no longer wear black armour while in combat? And will you be forced to use the best version, like platebobdy instead of chain, full helm instead of med?
Second I was wondering what will you do if a new unlock is only available through the skill you're doing. Do you continue training that skill anyways until you unlock it or what is your plan?
Second episode is on the way!
And yeah if I hit say 20 defence I have to wear Mithril armour, not black.
I don't have to wear the entire set or anything, just at least one piece of that armour doesn't matter which piece.
Your second one is a good question, in the next episode this kind of comes up where I can't build a Birdhouse at 5 crafting as a Clockwork needed to make one requires 8 crafting - so I simply can't do that activity and move on, but have to complete the other unlock at 5 crafting to progress - a gold ring.
You're basically capped at 93 cons. Marble is needed for the one unlock you get at 93. I take it you're not gonna go 93-94 cons using marble. You have a similar issue with herb, farming, hunter, cooking, and tons of skills. You should address these issues before you reach them. Cool idea though, I'm interested to see it played out.
As we get deeper in, I'll probably do some theorycrafting discussions outside of the videos or deep into them - but yeah, it isn't a perfect idea as some roadblocks will actually be so difficult/impossible to get over.
Should be a fun journey anyway haha
Really cool idea for the series. Subbed. Edit: Wtf was that ending lol. Man thats unfortunate
Thank you!!
Don't worry, 2nd episode with 2nd account on the way!!
Great to hear!
Great concept. RS is already the hardest Game to progress in. I can see this being turned into a mode.
There's definitely some insane turns this series could take if I allow some rng-based unlocks. We'll see how we go!
@@FrankGlymes getting out of the early brackets is going to be tedious, the mids will be easier, then it's gonna be even tougher with certain skills like crafting and RC.
I was like "why would he be a Spurs fan if hes Australian? That's pretty random" then I remembered I'm a Spurs fan and I'm American. There are dozens of us! Unless that was just an offhand comment in which case carry on regardless
Definitely a Spurs fan! For almost 15 years now sadly haha
@@FrankGlymesthis is the year
@@kevinkevinholthahaha good one
I love this idea I'll subscribe to follow the series
Thank you! Welcome!
Love this for you!
Hardcore sounds stressful.
Maybe chop some trees next?
We'll see!
How does this work when past the level of a requiremenr and you already did it? Like for example you unlock runite ore at 85, do you have to mine runite all the way until 92 for amethyst? Or can you mine whatever you want as long as you mined runite once?
For something like Runite Ore, since it's an easily repeatable action I'd mine it all the way to 92.
For something like Smithing a DFS, it's likely I'd only be able to do that once haha
This is some nostalgiascape, love it
Yesss agreed! I'm loving playing this way!
im definitely awaiting a second episode of this
Me too! I've got a big to do list!
I like the live commentary quite a lot. Voice-over is alright when exposition is needed, for sure.
agreed! glad you like it!
great idea for a video. I hope you dont let the false ban stop you from continuing this original series!
Thank you and not at all! I'm already progressing the 2nd account haha
Really love this series idea but what the hell is Jagex doing with the macro detection...? It sucks that often the only way to get that fixed is to already have a huge following and to cause a stir on Twitter
Yep, that seems the way haha
Luckily the account was so new, I didn't mind starting again (thankfully only paid a month membership) but it'd be grim if I'd spent days of my life on the account
Love the idea! Excited for this
Thank you!
So you missed the pysk fish? Shame.
Love the concept! Would like to see it with some checklists on screen. I imagine it could get out of hand very quickly.
I got the pysk fish later in the episode, squeezed it in at 4 Fishing before the next unlock at 5.
Will do some editing of checklists and stuff for sure, good idea!
Brilliant. I dont think anybody in the history of rs has ever trained using an iron whammer
It was painful haha
Fuckin' classic ending lol.
I always used to call "bullshit" on those posts of people complaining about unfair bans etc. Then I shit you not it happened to me... Came back from playing after a 2 year break, went to Venenatis, got a Voidwaker gem, sold the bastard, upgraded the gear, went to bed & woke up banned - Appeal denied, same as you!! It's fucking unreal.
Looking forward to episode 2 mate.
Thanks legend!
Same here, I was sceptical of some claims for sure - especially since sometimes it comes out later that they did cheat/bot.
They said bot detection is more enhanced with Jagex Launcher but perhaps too enhanced!!
Sucks about your account mate, they really need better customer support for this stuff
I bought membership for the first time in my life a couple months ago, excitedly played for a day, woke up the next morning banned for 'botting' and my appeal was denied. I'll never buy membership again until Jagex reimburses me. Stole my $10 and broke my heart. What absolute crooks.
Ahh this is so sad!! Sorry that happened to you mate!@@Vesdus
This is interesting idea ! I will fallow you on this trip.
Thank you! Keen for the journey!
Frank grimes episode from the simpsons is one of my top 5 fav episodes
Same here, excellent episode!
Really cool series idea! I wonder if there is a way you could get a plugin made that grey's out the skill guide until you unlock the level and do all other things under it. keep it up!
I didn't even think about that!
I haven't done any tinkering with Runelite plugins but I'd be keen to learn so it shows something on screen.
Like if I'm levelling Fishing it has a checklist of the fish available at that level - you're a genius!
@@FrankGlymes yeah exactly, something like that! Just seen other content creators have plug ins for their series so got me thinking!!
I'll be looking into it for sure!
For now, I'll try to at least have an image on screen or something for the level we are going for or at least make it clear with the commentary@@repetitivemusicenthusiast
this sounds actually kinda cool to watch
I'm glad you think so!
i love this idea, and hope that the second acc doesnt get a frivelous ban!
Me too! All good so far! Thank you!
The only thing Skillmac is missing to complement that absolutely killer mullet, is an A1 Falcon.
I'll start this quest, I'll start this quest, I'll start this quest. You are doing my head in hahaha 😂
Hahaha it's kind of how it works
So I'm curious, are you allowed to use quest xp rewards to skip terrible hurdles? It seems only fair to strategize how you can use xp rewards to skip undoable grinds or grinds that require multiple skills (e.g it might be impossible for you to practically get tips and bolts to train magic in large enough quantities to get to a threshold)
Great question!
I address this more in episode 2 but currently I'm not allowing quest exp to level me up. I can do quests but only once my level is high enough that I won't level up from finishing it.
It makes for some interesting grinds! And yeah magic is actually locked for a while!
The bat scene has me dying 😂😂😂
That bat was doing my head in haahah
A brand new series! Howww gooooodddd!
I’m a simple man I see a new FrankGlymes I watch I like I enjoy!
Snuck in a few how gooooods into the episode haha
I bloody love it!
Extremely excited to start this series. See you in a few hours!!
Okay had to come back to say I can not believe you were banned... actually makes me wonder how many people have been false banned and never were able to get an appeal. Hope it doesn't happen to me!
I reckon it was the Chambers of Xeric scouting!
But we come back better than ever in episode 2 onwards haha
Like imagine if one day the employees responsible for the bans had their tires slashed. And they called the police, and they said.
"Welp, sorry, but we're 1000000% sure you deserved it. Tough."
Like??? Just running people's weeks for no reason
Thankfully it's a new account but would be gutting for an account someone had spent a lot of time on.
I've already made the 2nd account anyway, though makes me hesitant buying membership more than a month at a time haha
@@FrankGlymes They're literally just stealing people's money $10 at a time. It happened to me the very first time I bought membership and now I'll never buy it again. Absolute crooks.
These osrs challenges are getting insane
Hey man hope alls well wanted to ask, did you have a peg over your nose when recovering this
How good! LMAO that ending though.
How gooood indeed!
The ending was grim but it's kind of made for a great moment haha
Subbed, lookin forward to this!
Thank you!!
RIP Skillmac, we hardly knew ye. Hopefully you can get the account back, that’s some shit that it got banned!
Crazy scenes, though I have already made a new account and progressed it to where I got up to haha
Interacting for more episodes because I think this is so fun
Thank you! Second one is very soon!
I love accounts like this!!! Count me in. Subbed and watch the series fir sure!!🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
me the last 8 days: no i'm not watching the video
me today: ok i'll watch it. nothing better to do.
me at the end: so worth it just to see it get banned. not because it's fair it's just really funny (classic jagex) hope it gets resolved
Glad you finally gave in haha
The 2nd account is going strong atm
Really love the concept! I'm trying something similar with gear only, but anyway I can't believe they banned you. Makes no sense!
Nice! Best of luck with your account :)
Yeah it's grim but I started a new account already!
They're banning plenty of paying players for no reason and denying appeals. They're just thieves.
23:00 "As Jagex intended"!!
😂😂
Maybe the ban for "macroing" was because he was literally named "Skillmac" and you got mass-reported by everyone who saw you doing weird shit as any challenge ironman does.
Yeah I hadn't thought of that until someone else said it haha
I like the mix of live & voice over! Haven’t finished the video yet but just a question- why hardcore? I’m guessing from some comments that it didn’t go your way (RIP spoilers). Why not just a regular iron? I’m not sure what being hardcore adds to the series. You could even do it as a main!
It wasn't the hardcore status that was lost hahaha
I figured it'd add an extra layer to it - doesn't really matter if I die but I'm keen to laugh at what I eventually fall to - won't really impact the series!
