Doing quests unquided is rewarding but some of the quests require classic Sierra text-adventure moonlogic. An example of this is lighting the candles in the room to dry the fuze instead of lighting fires in the room. Some veteran creators have taken on the challenge of never using a guide and documenting their herculean efforts so don't be too afraid to consult a guide if you get stuck for a long time.
Yeah there are a lot of quests in this game where without a Wiki guide or Quest Helper plugin in Runelite it would be crazy hard to figure out lol I mean it's the reason why Unguided as a UA-cam series is so popular. Majority of people do not play this game that way for a good reason.
you had your chat box closed it gives you information and when you examine something thats where the info go. right click examine random things is my favorite thing to do they are funny
FYI the average concurrent player count for RS3 is 25k. For OSRS, it's 130k . OSRS peaks at 150k most months and during special events it has surpassed 200k for an hour or so. Therefore OSRS is by far the most popular. OSRS is my favourite game of all time; so I hope you enjoy it. The community is amazing so you'll make loads of friends. Welcome back! :D
I use the plugin Key Remapping on RuneLite (another Launcher for OSRS that Jagex is ok with (the link for the launcher is on their homepage even)) to make the camera move with WASD. It then requires you to hit enter to start chatting, which I don't mind.
Welcome! If there's any advice I can give you is to not worry about min-maxing or efficiency, or people yelling at you to be efficient. This game is designed around just doing whatever sounds fun to you, and as long as it's giving you xp in a skill then you're still making progress. It doesn't matter how effeciently you level if you want to quit the game afterwards lol. I literally chopped trees and did little else until I was LV 87 in Woodcutting and got the pet, and I had a great time just selling logs and talking to the people around me that also were chilling chopping trees.
There is unfortunately tension. Generally its held by a lot of the folks that didn't like certain updates for one reason or the other and yes there were quite a few unpopular changes. However generally RS3 players don't care about OSRS comments since that game has been dealt with a lot of abuse and the folks complaining most likely have not given the current iteration of RuneScape 3 an honest try without looking at it without having Nostalgia Lenses influencing them. Both games are honestly really enjoyable for different reasons. OSRS has a great early game and a very active community where the Developers interact with the community before any changes happen. RS3 has a great mid game with probably the better Ironman version of the game. Both of the end games are very enjoyable since they require an insane amount of skill to do the end game content. OSRS also has better Content Creators while RS3 has just way more content to do still. Hope you enjoy them both!
Quite a few indeed. I'd love to return to RS3 but the layers of monetization make me sick. OSRS bonds are icky already but locking powerful auras behind months of membership? Thanks, no thanks!
@@JohnSmith-ox3gy Ya there was a proposal from a Jmod to fix it to be a craftable recipe in his Game Jam but I'm assuming its going to take awhile before we get that resolved. However the last few months have been pretty amazing in RS3 imo since we've been pumping out new content and resolving a lot of stuff. We just had a survey that hints of removal of TH and all of the community is hyped about it. We're okay with a normal cosmetic store like all other games but everyone wants TH gone.
@@mwithz That is very nice but it'd be a hard sell. The playerbase has been in a pretty steady decline starting from 2021 according to misplaceditems population data. What's the next big update in works. Last two times I checked out RS3 was to check out the game design of the smithing rework (a big fan of the system) and archeology to know what's up with that (still no idea what's going on).
@@JohnSmith-ox3gy True enough. Well either way, I enjoy the game way more than OSRS but thats all a personal opinion and that's a me thing. Hopefully when you try out the game again, you'll enjoy it again.
You did go through this tutorial faster, but to be fair there's quite a bit of overlap in the basic controls with RS3 so you weren't completely green going into this one lol. Loved you stumbling into one of the quests where they parody pop culture stuff. I don't think this quest is in RS3, so it was new for me to see. From what I understand, OSRS has a popular plugin that guides you through quests so you don't really have to even think about it or pay attention. It's kind of refreshing seeing someone figure it out for themselves like we did way back in the day! Your comment about feeling like you're in an escape room was interesting to me because there's some OSRS content creators that do runescape "escape room" accounts where you have to have pretty strong game knowledge to figure out how to solve it using the seemingly random items in the inventory and levels the account has etc. Could be interesting viewing at some point! I love them even though I don't play OSRS. Fair warning, since you said you didn't like looking things up, both OSRS and RS3 are VASTLY improved with the use of their respective wikis. Not even just for the quests, but it's just such an amazing resource for figuring out how to achieve whatever goals you set for yourself. Just something to keep in mind if you're going to commit to playing for a long time. You can certainly do it without the wiki, but be prepared for a lot of trial and error learning! If you're looking to do a quest in RS3, might I recommend Rune Mysteries? I think it doesn't have any prerequisites and it gives you a little bit of a look into the lore of the world without being too challenging. Or you can just do whatever quest you stumble across first lol. I'll watch regardless!
Thank you so much! It is interesting that creators do escape room accounts! That makes a lot of sense! The wiki was SO helpful when I was struggling with the riddles. It's nice to have steps written out when you are super stumped. Hopefully one day I will stream live and then chat can just help me! :) I will TOTALLY do Rune Mysteries if it lets my in RS3!!
@@brookesbits runelite has so many plugins that make this game much less confusing! Feel free to go blind but dont feel bad as most players use this resource. There is also an optimal quest order - you of course don’t have to follow it but it could make things easier though I believe it was originally made with Ironmen in mind since it’s so much harder to unlock things that can make regular account questing so easy.
If one of the buttons at the bottom left is blue, it's because there are notifications. If you clicked on 'Game', you would have got examine information and some tips. You missed some of the clues because this was closed. It's not your fault that you didn't know this.
The only reason there's contention between OSRS and RS3 is because of OSRS player with rose tented goggles. And because we know objectively OSRS is better in all aspects. If you're using Runelite, you can install the addon 117HD and it give OSRS a fresh graphics overhaul without getting rid of the style that we all love. *edit- Yeah everyone has a black sky box, but you can change it in the 117 HD plug-in to blue sky or a few other optoins. Also, fun fact, the quest you're doing was a Halloween event turned in to a quest.
@brookesbits It's one of my most favorite games. Literally a virtual home away from home. Enjoy the noob experience because it's the purest form of the game. I really hope you continue to enjoy it!
the old version u speaking about runescape classic still has playable versions im playing on 1 server with 60 active players almost always and its a 1:1 replica of classic

I like both versions but I definitely main OSRS (lvl 119) even though I’m closer to max on RS3 (lvl 136)
The exp rates are more generous and more tiers of content close to max.
I also played back in the day 03-05 and rediscovered the game this year. Miss the 3 hit days
you should also be bale to turn the screen with middle scroll wheel by holding it while rotating
amazinggg
Welcome to the escape room without an escape. Muhahahhaa!
It's nice they gave this one to the free to play people.
it was so fun!!

@cortezagain I think you missed the sarcasm in my comment.
@@Pop_A_Chaderall you’re right
Thank you for the tips!! I actually loved this quest! ahaha

to use wasd on osrs you need to use runelite and enable in the runelite settiings
oh thank you!
the old version u speaking about runescape classic still has playable versions im playing on 1 server with 60 active players almost always and its a 1:1 replica of classic
oh nice!
stream when?
hopefully soonnn!!
It's just RuneScape, there's no 3, it was removed over 10 years ago.
It's just runescape the only thing change is the looks I think
good to know! I think I called it Runescape in my first video and was corrected.
People still refer to it as RS3
Everybody starts at the bottom.
