Just got back in after a year or so off. Been binging osrs vids all week, just wanted to say; you’ve got some of the best, most up to date stuff out there right now. Great content man, keep it up. 🙂
Cheers man! That's definitely my plan! Got some more F2P Guides lined up and been a long grind for my HCIM, but I'm almost at my first 99, So that's a big update coming. And I'm working on my first Members Guide for Wintertodt. Unfortunately, my pace has slowed down recently as life has gotten quite busy and I'm looking to upgrade my laptop as it really cant handle the video editing. Glad you liked the guide, thanks for the comment and welcome back to the game bro! 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thanks, and good luck with the laptop. I’ll be looking forward to the new guides. 99 on an HCIM; sounds like a heck of a grind. Scared to even start one myself. Lol. Game’s really been calling me back with all these little things the past few months; below ice mountain, castle wars boots, etc. Now that poll for group IM’s went through. I feel like they’re bringing a lot of attention back to the game, but maybe that’s just ‘cuz I was on hiatus. 🙂
No I think you’re right they have a really strong team atm and it’s really helping to develop the game. It’s coming on in leaps and bounds I just wish I’d got back into it when all the lockdowns started 😂 be miles further on with my characters! I took a similar hiatus tbh!
Useful guide, respect the c wars boots mention. Hobgoblins south of falador are good melee training from base 30s and moss giants are pretty good half afk training from base 40s
Mate! I really wanted to get that in and try to hammer it home! 😅😅😅 Definitely appreciate your help and suggestions, keep them coming man! 👍👍👍 Ill add an 'Alternative Locations/Strategies' section in the description and add the hob goblins & Moss Giants suggestions 😁😁😁 Might add a few more bits in from the wiki pages too!
haven’t played runescape regularly since 2010. started back playing yesterday. trying to do everything in f2p before i go for membership and the guides you made are a big help along with the optimal quest guide on RuneScape wiki.
Ahh gotta love the wiki! It’s my go too for everything! That and RuneLites plug-ins, if you’re not using the RuneLite client you should give it a go it’s by far the best one!
I'm gonna be honest. I sort of had your mentality when I started again two years ago but after getting members, it's so much easier training at rock crabs and NMZ. Just get members, it's not worth it lol
Haha there's probably better choices of armour anyway that don't cost 2.5 mil a piece. It does look pretty sick though. 😅 Something to save up for in the future maybe?
Hello Spy3s! Thank you for the comment and the positive feedback! It’s appreciated man! 😁 Also glad you found the guide useful 👍 Good luck on your OSRS journey, and stay safe!
honestly the magic part. yeah do witches. then take the boat to karamja. kill imps for beads. hand them in and u should be 15 magic. its one of the first things i do when i do leagues. or atleast did last time. it gave me a quick headstart.
Came back a year or so after watching this, was just getting in the game and fell in love, fast forward to 2024 and im pass 1500 total lvl and just finished ds2 and am currently rebuilding with a DHC at vorkath and plan to stay there till 100m or 95 range whatever comes first.
Hey THEmickTHEgun! Cheers for the comment brother! I’m the same really only got back in seriously during the lockdowns… Wish I’d kept it up from the start 😅😅 my main would be a lot higher level that’s for sure… You stick in F2P or do you do members?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I tried membership once but got a tad overwhelmed so I only play f2p now. But the more I play the more I learn so I might consider membership again.
That happened to me to be honest. Members is far far bigger than it was back in the day. It's hard to find where to start! My only advice would be think about what you want to do and just go for that. Like, my current goal is to get a quest cape on both my HCIM and my Main... I might get there one day! 😅😅😅 maybe 2030...
Seagulls are excellent for early game training as they have -42 defensive stats like chickens (cows have -21) but have more hp than chickens, 6 for lvl 2s and 10 for lvl 3s. They are in port sarim but often crowded by splashers so I suggest to head to the corsair cove as there are many lvl 3 seagulls at the port. If you need the cow hide for crafting then do cows but the feathers can be bought in bulk very cheap so I don't recommend chickens. Later on I would recommend switching places frequently as most creatures have 0 defensive stats so your only enemy is a burnout. Giants have good drops and you def want some laws as an ironman.
Haha no problem! At first neither did I! It was someone in the comments who told me off when I said SoS boots where the bis 😅😂 Yeah seagulls are good! I just didn’t recommend them because whenever I go there they seem to be busy! But Corsair Cove is a good choice! Thanks for the comment 😁👍👍
after the camdozaal stuff. honestly that area is the BEST just do mining first get the buffs and first mace piece. then level up fishing elsewhere or here. and get the 2nd piece along with fish cook and prayer :O then once u get the 5 defence buff the golems are amazing at 40s or late 50s. great combat exp and runecraft exp. plus its i think the fastest exp per hour possible in f2p. plus u can alch extra parts for big cash.
Yo miciso666! Thanks for the comments man 😁👍 Totally agree, fighting golems in camdozaal with the def buff and the mace offers probably the best melee Xp rate in F2P! 👌
hill giants for good xp, beginner clues, bones AND obor keys! moss giants for bryophyta keys, good xp, AFK and beginner clues! both are weak to slash attacks also: the runelite plugin npc agression timer it shows the lines on the floor to step over for the npcs to be agro again! so even better afk!
Oh! I didn’t realise the NPC plugin should the agro lines! That’s mega useful! Definitely agree that hill and moss giants are great training enemies too! 👍😁 Thanks for the tips and for leaving a comment 😁👍 much appreciated 👍 Stay Safe!
Also you can use beginner prayers the drain rate was dropped to 1.67 pts per minute. At 48 prayer you can last lke 30mins with god rune armor and recharge at either ferox or lumbridge alter. And use canoe sytem or skull sceptre to get back quick. Next teir of prayers drain to fast only 5min before full drain. Ferox is better because it also has the pool to full heal. Hopefull they either make ring of dueling f2p or also decrease prayer drain rate for other.
the two main issues, is castal wars 400 games let alone 134 if you win every match. barely anyone plays it in f2p and if you do it's mostly likely to have greedy players. so even if you afk it. you'll be sitting around for 20 mins to get 1 ticket. castle war's is such a drag
Yo cagethelonewolf! Thanks for the comment bud! I couldn’t agree with you more! I think castle wars is long overdue an overhaul! Be nice to see some buzz around it again like back in the old days. A few new maps, better rewards and just some care and attention would be great! Personally, I’ve not bothered getting the boots, but unfortunately they are by far the best in slot F2P melee boots… 😅
Same here! I even googled it to see why it's being mentioned in the video. And then the first thing I read is from wikibooks saying "Castle Wars is a Runescape minigame for members only. It is like Capture the Flag, but with fighting."@@akfitness4077
Thanks Tanner! Your comment is much appreciated and glad my efforts are having an effect! Constantly trying to learn and improve! Thanks again and if you have any other feedback or comments on my channel please let me know! 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Was castle wars always f2p? I thought you had to be a member for that. Used to love me some castle wars. One of the more fun ways to get some combat xp
Yeah it was members only in the past for sure! It’s definitely a good change up piece of gameplay. You can get some of the best items in F2P doing it too! 👌 Overall though I’d like to see them revamp it a bit going forwards, bring the crowds back 😂🙌🏻
Just finished the Dragon Slayer Quest the other day and I was so fucking pissed, I had no idea that it gave you all that XP at the end, I completed it on my Mage pure....
A sense of humour is a must in OSRS for sure! I’ve made some terrible mistakes over the years 😂😂😂 as a kid I used to start a new account every time I got angry or got PK’ed 😂😂😂 fun times! Are you cracking on with the modded mage pure or is it a start again job?
Oh no! 😬 kinda spoils the purity when you get levels you don’t want 🥲 I’ve not made a pure since Rune 2 handers and black armour was king 😂😂😂 gd old strength pures 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hi mohammadaboug! It's not that its better, its just that Frogs have a much lower defence relative to their HP than Hill Giants. So in theory you will do a higher DPS to the Frogs that the Giants, so because XP is linked to damage for combat, you will gain XP quicker against the Frogs. The downside is that the Frogs can be a busy spot and apart from Big Bones their drops are rubbish. Hopefully that makes sense 😅 Thanks for the comment!
Potentially dumb question: What is the advantage in upgrading your Scimitar type if what you want is as many landed hits as possible? Just for the sake of clearing more enemies while at it?
ahh i see what you are saying. So, for combat skills xp is awarded per point of damage. Each time you upgrade your scimitar, its attack and strength values increase. This means your max hit increases and you also become more accurate. And yeah, will kill enemies quicker. Which in turn means you can kill more. 😅 Erm try to think of it as like damage per hour of training. Equally, you need to be training on level relevant mobs otherwise your max hit might become higher than the amount of health they have so you will be stunting you xp and having to click more. Thats why most of the training mobs in the video have high hit points relevant to the training level. I hope that makes some sense... 😅😅😅 Let me know if it doesn't...🤣🤣🤣
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Oh yeah for sure, ty mate. Just had no idea the XP return per hit is linked to the actual number. I remember being sad when damage was too high because it meant I need to switch mobs more often, rofl. Now I'm happy the higher it is! Which ties into the whole "I'm getting stronger" idea pretty well. Really clever XP system in my opinion, literally playing slots!
@@gzaaghon9785 Awesome! Glad that made some sense 😅 Yeah OSRS is definitely a game that on the surface looks simple, but when you get into it, it can become quite a technical and complex game. The top players can do some crazy things.
I have 40 attack, 1 DEF and 55 STR. Wanting to keep the defence at 1 but it makes it hard to survive a lot of the time naturally. What STR level would you suggest I leave the monks village to the next stage?
Haha nice going for an iron pure! A bold strategy sir I haven’t made a pure in years, not since the days of the old black pures… Anyway what combat level are you, about 38? I’m reading this as you’re still training at the monks? I think you could easily move into the barbarian village or the giant frogs as you are, obviously with 1 def your probably need a decent food supply 🤔 Let me know if I’ve got that wrong and I’ll get back to you! Thanks for the question though, hopefully that helped! 😅👍
Please 🙏 tell me you kill goblins in the hut in Lumbridge and fume when a noob comes in and leaves the door open? 😂 I love that little hut 😂 It’s personal preference of course! The suggestions in the video are just based on enemies with low defence and high hp for the training level. I think,like you, I historically used to get base 20 at the goblins, then 30-40 in the barbarian long house and then hit the hill giants after that! Thanks for the comment 👍👍👍
Haha yeah its a weird one the old Vampire Slayer quest, but its a good kick starter. Don't worry if you didn't do this step though, most of my accounts did it the old fashioned way... Thanks for the comment bcabb2896! 👍👍
That’s awesome man! Good luck with it! You’ll have to let me know when it’s done! I spent so long in F2P growing up I’m not sure I could face trying for 99. AFK at the spiders in SoS wouldn’t be too bad to be fair especially now we’re all working from home 😂
Thanks for the comment antoinelanglois8587! Ahh no you can't get a staff from the tutor, you need to buy one from the GE or the staff shop in Varrock. The tutor will only give you a small amount of starter runes, if you dont have nay in you bank or inventory. hope that helps man! 👍👍
Hello West Coast Ghost! No worries buddy! It really depends on your account type and build. So I’ll try and give a quick overview: The amulet of accuracy is a quest reward so it’s ideal for ironmen and players with not a lot of money. But it’s bonuses (+4 to all att stats) are pretty low so general accounts can buy an amulet of power or strength from the GE. The amulet of power is the best all round amulet in F2P as it gives +6 to att, def, melee str and +1 prayer. Probably what most people use, and what I’d buy for a fresh general character, not overly expensive on the GE either. Ironmen will struggle to get one as they need to craft it themselves which needs 70 crafting. Amulet of strength give +10 melee strength. Best to think of melee strength as extra damage potential so wearing this amulet will give you a higher maximum hit. A good choice also and again harder for ironmen as they will need 50 crafting to make it. The other amulets in F2P are magic and defence. For melee magic doesn’t help at all. Amulet of defence give +7 def against all damage types might be useful for certain applications but better off just going for the amulet of power. Basically if your not an Ironman and you’d not trying to do some kind of special build or something just head to the GE and buy an amulet of power 😅 hope that explained it for you bud 👍 thanks for the comment and gd luck with your account!
a suggestion if i could make one. why not attack lesser demons for high lvl cb (75+ base lvls) players. it gives vile ashes which are useful in training prayer. they are agrresive so you can go afk.
Yo Vivek! How’s it going! Suggest away man! Always happy to hear other people’s methods! 👍👍 Yeah lesser demons would certainly work as you say and you can also get some decent drops off them too! I only suggest AFK at the spider over the lesser demons because SOS is much closer to a bank and the spiders will do a lot less damage versus the lesser demons. 🤷🏻♂️ but obviously the spiders don’t really drop anything good. Be interesting to see the difference between the two at +75 combat level 🤔 thanks for the suggestion and for leaving a comment brother! 👍👍👍
Hello Kyut! Apologies for taking so long to reply 😅 my comments seem to have exploded recently and I’ve been off doing some redecorating at home… anyway life story over.. on to your question. So in short each amulet in F2P is just a different stat boost. So amulet of magic is +10 Magic att so you will hit more with magic while wearing this. Only useful for mages really. Amulet of defence add +7 to all defences so slightly decreases the likelihood of being hit by an attack, an all rounder not widely used unless there’s a specific reason. Amulet of strength, gives +10 str so your max hit with melee will increase. Good for all melee based fighting. The amulet of accuracy adds +3 to all forms of attack so will increase the chance of hitting a target with any attack in F2P, good for low level & Ironman accounts and last but not least is the amulet of power, by far the best amulet in F2P offering +1 prayer, +6 att, +6 def and +6 str so it simultaneously increases your chance of hitting with an attack, decreases the chance of you being hit while increasing prayer and you max melee hit. Phew that was a long one! Hopefully those explanations helped! 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thank you for answering! In these 8 days i searched a lot about the game, i learned that the amulet of strength gives 4 more strength bonus than the amulet of power, so it can increase the max hit by 1 depending on your strength level, but if you're hitting the same max hit with Amulet of power, the best choice for melee is amulet of power. But if amulet of strength is increasing your max hit you use amulet of strength for training. Im now base 50 with all combat stats watching your videos haha. do you think that the +6 attack in the amulet of power can increase the xp/hour comparing if a +1 max hit?
I would say it all depends on what you’re fighting, their defence level and your equipment. Like the amulet of power also offers defensive bonuses that might mean you get hit less often. You’re attack style will also be critical to deciding which to use. You can also add in some str potions to boost your strength even further. 🤔 personally for quests, training and most instances, I’d stick with the amulet of power. If you’re using a 2 handed high strength weapon like the rune 2hander. I’d go all in on strength and switch out to the amulet of strength. Hope that kinda helps 😅 in short there’s a lot of factors to consider so it’s hard to say one over the other, if I doubt use the amulet of power 🤷🏻♂️ 👍👍👍
They are still definitely aggressive to all levels, have you tried moving back up the ladder to the first floor and then coming back down? Hope you got this sorted!
I'm a pure with 1 defense and hill giants run thru my defense and I have to continue to buy swordfish unless there's another place I can train that's decent
I see so many people with that shield you're using... which one is that? Sorry, just coming back to game after years. Haven't played since RS3 launched I think... and having to start all over.
Ahh yeah no problem at all Ziploc_Wonder! The shield I think you are talking about is the white and blue one right? Its the Training Shield. You can get a free one from the combat tutor in Lumbridge near the general store, from memory I think its basically the same as a wooden shield, but imo looks a lot better! Thanks again for the comment! And welcome back! 😃😃😃
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ooh okay! Thank you so much! Awesome awesome! I'm making my way through your quest guide series of things I can handle at a baby combat level and then I'll work on Skilling some until I get the hang of game... Still unsure about Membership... Seems exponentially more overwhelming than what I feel now trying to relearn everything. But yes, sorry for the rambling. Love all your videos. Thank you so much.
Not at all 😁 ramble away! Yeah I’d find your feet in F2P and if you’re enjoying it and hit around level 40 in most of the skills and you get through all of the quests maybe buy a bond and give it a go to see if you like it 👍 You can always come back to just F2P 😁 Members is good but best to come up with a plan/decide what you’re goals are as its so much more in depth versus F2P!
It’s certainly better than it was, id have to run the numbers to be 100%, but that 6 tick attack speed still means the Scimmy is the best, as its speed is only 4. 🤔
Hello Xylaax! By 'base' generally I just mean the same in Att, Str & Def. You could definitely use the basic steps for a Str Pure. The time for moving the training areas would just be different as you would be a much lower combat level. So i would suggest as a base point where i say base 20 stats, maybe sub that for base 20 combat level. It will take longer for sure and im not an expert in Str Pures, but hopefully that will help!
Yeah that’s the big downside of the flesh crawlers and the giant spiders. 🤔 Moss Giants have ok drops and the body golems in Camdozaal aren’t too bad for gems and body cores if you want to bank some runecrafting xp for later. 🤔 lesser demons and Ogresses probably have the best drops but I’d recommend base 50+ ideally 60+ to make farming them efficient as their defence stats are pretty high and they can hit quite hard! Thanks for the comment dude! I hope that helps you decide! 😁👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I heard ogresses is the best once you can reliably take them on. I just hit 60-60-60 in all Melee stats, ready to move on from Flesh Crawlers lol..
Ahh nice! Yeah the ogresses are a really good spot, to be honest I’ve only ever used magic and ranged against them as they are easy safe spots, base 60 I think you’d be fine with them, just take decent food and avoid the shamans!
There’s a few alternatives that aren’t too bad. You could go to the long house in the barbarian village, I’ve done a lot of training there in the past. 🤔 The hill giants in Al’kharid are also a good option a lot of people forget about, they are level 35 though. Monks at the monastery near Edgeville or Al’kharid Warriors are also decent options too! And failing that city guards. Hopefully one of those options will work for you 👍👍👍 Good luck with your training! 🍀
Ahh sorry bud! Tried to keep the guide length down as short as possible so I just mentioned the quest rather than having a full guide. I should have a full guide to all of the F2P quests on the channel though! And if you still get stuck I can’t recommend OSRS Wiki enough, it’s a great resource and there’s a link to their site in all of my videos descriptions 👍
Hi mogunium6947! Despite this being a low level quest the count is pretty hard for low levels. Make sure you have the clove of garlic 🧄 in your inventory when you fight him as this makes him a bit weaker. I assume you’re trying to kill him with magic? If so make sure you have some decent magic gear and ammy of magic is very useful, unequip any armour and just make sure you have a positive magic attack bonus on your equipment screen. If you’re still struggling just go train you magic and gain another 3-5 levels and try again? 😅😁👍 Hope that answers your question and thanks for the comment 😁👍
Ahh that sucks! You can make a second character to do the quest with yourself or there is actually a chat group in the game. I show it in the video but it’s kinda horrible to use 😅😅😅
@@TheLumbridgeKnight so on my main character i joined pheonix gang but its been so long that i forgot i need another person so while i was in pheonix gang i killed the weapon master while i was still in pheonix gang nd got the bows but i figured it out lol made another character nd gave them the bows
Yo man! Unfortunatly, I don't atm! P2P content is something I am hoping to get into more heavily in the summer so hopefully I can get started soon. And when I do a P2P melee training guide will be pretty close to the top as I think this is by a country mile my best performing video!
That’s your choice man, I think mathematically att is better as upgrading your equipment will increase accuracy and max hit. Strength will only improve your potential max hit. So I think you will get a higher DPS by prioritising att and equipment upgrades. 🤷🏻♂️ I could be wrong, it’s personal preference in any case I’m trying to present the most efficient path, but people should play how they want to play. Thanks for the comment 👍👍
Yo RoadZlife! Yes once upon a time it definitely was members only 😅 not sure when they brought it over exactly but if you go to the mini game teleport it will take you there 👍 hope that helped!
Yeah the safe spot is a right pain to get… you can do it right and he doesn’t always fall for it 😬 very dangerous one to try low level if you’re a HCIM. You have to do something similar for the first part of the ‘Witches House’ quest and I messed that up recently too 😅
Hello Meninx87, its not a bad idea as long as you’ve got yourself a Barronite Mace and paid Ramarno for the Defence Buff (2500 B’nite shards). In fact with that set up and full rune, it’s probably the best melee exp in F2P. The only issue is that each Golem needs to be individually clicked, so it’s not very AFK and obviously 80-99 you need a lot of clicks versus the giant spiders in SOS which only need clicks every 10 minutes to restore the agro 🤷🏻♂️ It’s a good idea though for sure 👍👍👍
Hope it works out for you bud! I did that exact method from melee base 40-60 👌 there’s also a bank chest very close too! So apart from the lack of automatic agro it is a really gd spot 👍
Hello Zombies In Space, love the name! Damn, I've had a few people say this before, you are on OSRS and not RS3 right? And it's the level 50 Spiders on SOS floor 3? Sorry just got to check. If you are on OSRS and the redish giant spiders aren't aggressive, I'd try moving from one side of the dungeon to the other and back again, see if you've just dropped the aggro. That will happen every 10-15 minutes anyway no matter what you train on. Sorry if all that is just stating the obvious... It probably is... 😬😬😬 If this is the case then i must apologise to you as this must mean that the spiders are not aggressive after 102 combat, (though the wiki says that they are). If anyone is 102+ combat can you confirm if the spiders on the 3rd floor of SOS are still aggressive? Check the flesh crawlers on the floor above as they too are supposed to be aggressive to players of all levels? Hope some of that helps! 😅👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thank you! I’m on RS3, had this account for around 20 years playing off and on. My combat is 120 something and I’ve tried leaving and returning but I think I’m just too high of a level to train on those spiders now
Yo Zombies in Space! I see your problem! For some reason they changed this for RS3 so I don’t think they are always aggressive like they are on OSRS… 😬 yeah like you say if you’re going to have to do it manually you’re probably better off doing ogresses or lesser demons at this point 🤔
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Sorry I didn’t originally notice it said OSRS. I think it’s lame they make you start over for OSRS, if I could have my account with the same stats on OSRS, I would definitely play it instead.
Haha well if you’ve got the skills you clearly don’t need it! 😁👍 It’s not something I used much until recently really takes the risk out of battles if you can use it. Thanks for the comment nifegun! 👍👍
@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks for the content lumbridge knight. But yeah, didn't have the skills either. I was streaming at the time and told chat to chill for a minute while a watched a 1m UA-cam video on how to safespot elvarg, then just did what he did. Granted I'm also playing ranged main, and wasn't member at the time, so I also had terrible damage cause I was using bronze xbow and bolts. Took a whole inv of lobsters, but I did it. 2nd try lol
Ahh soo in terms of efficiency the ogresses have really high defence stats so if you’re looking to level fast they aren’t the best. 🤔 I definitely think they are worth fighting for money and variety, but the spiders in SOS are pretty much AFK too!
Yo Zain, it’s a bit more complicated for pures, which is why I didn’t really go there. In general it will really depend on what type of build you are going for. So if you were doing a strength pure you could absolutely follow along, just make sure your combat level is high enough at each stage and you should be fine 👍
Hi Thunderworgen. Sorry, but I've just reviewed the video to double check and there are no members items or locations mentioned in the video. I'm not really sure which bit you think is members, I'm guessing you mean Castle Wars, its not been members only for a good while, F2P players can play Castle Wars using the mini game teleport to get there.
@@TheLumbridgeKnight My apologies it seems my data was outdated, you see I haven't played RuneScape in a long time and wanted to get back into it. Anyway great video and again sorry for the misunderstanding.
Haha don’t worry about it man! I was in the same boat once… when I first started I was telling everyone that the SOS boots were the BIS for F2P… Only for a load of people to comment and tell me I was wrong 😅 It’s not quite the RS2 we used to play back in the day. To be honest I wish they would do more with Castle Wars both in F2P and P2P…
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Yeah I already appreciate the game is mostly playable for F2P without it forcing you to buy member to continue the game.. Anyway do you happen to also have guides for members because I was browsing the other day and there are a lot of channels that make video's that add too much technicall and complicated stuff...
I have a few… like I’ve got some Wintertodt guides and some quests but I need to get on it and do it properly 😅 I’m hoping by the summer I’ll be onto members stuff exclusively!
Hi Andrew ahh sorry to hear that… That’s annoying… 😬 I guess all you can do in that case is move away from the area until another enemy starts attacking you and then go back or switch floors and go back maybe? 🤔 Sorry bud! I’ll have to add it to my updates list. Cheers for letting me know though 👍👍👍
Cheers for the comment man! 100% true. The fire 🔥 to the east of barbarian village never goes out bro! Cross my heart… I assume that’s true also for RS3 but I’m guess there as I don’t play RS3 atm…
Haha admittedly in F2P it’s a lot simpler, a lot is dependent on your weapon, but it’s still worth understanding if you want to maximise your damage. Attack style and the enemy you’re fighting can have an impact.
Hello Señor, I don't think its been patched. Perhaps there is a mistake on the wiki page I followed for the guide, so if you are over combat level 102 then perhaps you wont generate argo. If you are below that level I sent my level 80 HCIM there just now to check and the spiders attacked me. Are you over combat 102? If not I'd try leaving the floor and re-entering and the spiders should automatically attack you. Let me know how you get on!
@@senorenigma2529 Even at 99 they should still attack you bro! I've had a max combat account check and they were still aggressive for him... You could try either Ice Warriors 🧊 - Asgarnian Ice Dungeon or Frozen Waste Plateau or Lesser Demons in the volcano 🌋 on Karamja? There's a few spots in the wilderness too but that obviously has the disadvantage of Pkers ruining your training... Maybe try the Ice Warriors as it might be less popular that then Lesser Demons?
Ahh dude you need to find the level 50 Red Spiders on level 3 (the green level) the pit of pestilence of the Stronghold of Security the level is full of them, if you do a lap of the floor you can’t help but bump into them. Don’t get confused with the regular giant spiders 🕷
Aww man, yeah they aren’t great you could always switch it up and try Minotaurs in SOS? They are lvl 25 so as long as you’re ok with their higher lvl I don’t think they are aggressive 👍
Hahaha! I had that exact same experience 😂 and back then it was only £3.50 a month, literally nothing and I had to beg for years to get a membership 😂 I do like how RuneScape has alway had a pretty hardcore approach to levelling, it makes it kinda worthwhile to grind if it’s a proper achievement, they could be a tiny bit more generous though…
There should definitely be some on level 3 dude. Double check your looking in the right place… I did have someone else tell me they couldn’t find them either… dunno if there’s a problem on level 3 or something…. I will have another look and triple check this 👍
You make a lot of assumptions for people that are literally brand new to the game. Lots of stuff that you gloss over without explaining leaving me confused.
Yo vital114! Thanks for the comment man! If you don’t mind me asking, which bits specifically did you have trouble with? I can try to answer here or if there’s enough potential for a video I could look to put something together 😁 Please let me know cheers! 🍻
Hey man, as people are fond of saying ‘you do you’ whatever floats your boat! I used to make pures and pk accounts back in the day, but if you’re planning on taking an account into members or you want the easy road you gotta level defence. Doing dragon slayer with 1 def isn’t impossible but the majority of ppl would find it difficult. 🤷🏻♂️ I tried to make the guide to appeal to the majority and the easiest road. Nothing wrong with making your own path 👍👍👍
Nice! Gotta have a main! What pures did you make? I’ve only really made the old fashioned black/R2hander pker 😅 40 att, 10 def, 60+ str 😂 that was before mages came in and absolutely wrecked it 😂😂😂
Sorry to see you didn’t like the guide, what didn’t you like? If you can let me know I can look to update the video or include changes in future videos 👍 cheers!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight fair enough it said melee guide I think most returning f2p are looking for pvp eventually. If not they’d be on rs3. A pure guide showing where and what you’ll need in f2p would be nice. Now that you can’t use GE until 100 total points, 20 quest points and blah blah maybe add in how to get some supplies. The GE thing made me quit osrs again because I don’t have time without the ge lol
Yeah that update totally passed me by… Until I needed to use multiple accounts for a video… 😪 I than had to grind 20 hours doing quests… I didn’t realise it locked out the GE too! Brutal! Guess everyone starts as a Ironman these days! Yeah definitely got to get some pure video up in the future for sure! Thanks for the feedback 😁👍👍👍
Yo man! You should check out my money maker video if your just starting out. Also if you aren’t playing an Ironman account there’s plenty of videos on how you could make some money 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight well it takes a while to buy the jugs but its worth it because the gp multiplies by 3 everytime I do it, im taking a break from now because 50 to 60 is gonna take a while lol. But I almost got full rune I just substitued the chestplate for the chain. Once I hit 60 i will look to do dragonslayer 1
I guess they nerfed the flesh crawlers they placed very dangerous zombies in the farming room so I guess i wont be getting that scepter part and exp at the same time rip have to farm the lower level zombies in a room with 1 flesh crawler edit: never mind I assumed the map is of the furthest corner
Yo Jessie! Sorry I took so long to respond! Glad you found it! Yeah the SE corner room I think it is, is just full of flesh crawlers. Probably the best spot to get parts to recharge the staff too as those guys are easy to afk and don’t deal a huge amount of damage. Hope you managed to get your Sceptre built! Don’t forget to get it imbued 👍👍👍 thanks for the comment!
![A Complete 1-99 Melee Combat Guide for Oldschool Runescape in 2021 [OSRS]](/img/n.gif)
Having not played the game for 15 years I find your guides to be very helpful. Keep up the good work!
Hello James Rogan! Thanks for the awesome feedback bud 👍👍👍 Hopefully 🙏 I’ll be able to keep the content rolling! Thanks again and stay safe man!
Same thing to say here
Amen
same
Just got back in after a year or so off. Been binging osrs vids all week, just wanted to say; you’ve got some of the best, most up to date stuff out there right now. Great content man, keep it up. 🙂
Cheers man! That's definitely my plan! Got some more F2P Guides lined up and been a long grind for my HCIM, but I'm almost at my first 99, So that's a big update coming. And I'm working on my first Members Guide for Wintertodt. Unfortunately, my pace has slowed down recently as life has gotten quite busy and I'm looking to upgrade my laptop as it really cant handle the video editing.
Glad you liked the guide, thanks for the comment and welcome back to the game bro! 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thanks, and good luck with the laptop. I’ll be looking forward to the new guides. 99 on an HCIM; sounds like a heck of a grind. Scared to even start one myself. Lol. Game’s really been calling me back with all these little things the past few months; below ice mountain, castle wars boots, etc. Now that poll for group IM’s went through. I feel like they’re bringing a lot of attention back to the game, but maybe that’s just ‘cuz I was on hiatus. 🙂
No I think you’re right they have a really strong team atm and it’s really helping to develop the game. It’s coming on in leaps and bounds I just wish I’d got back into it when all the lockdowns started 😂 be miles further on with my characters! I took a similar hiatus tbh!
Useful guide, respect the c wars boots mention.
Hobgoblins south of falador are good melee training from base 30s and moss giants are pretty good half afk training from base 40s
Mate! I really wanted to get that in and try to hammer it home! 😅😅😅 Definitely appreciate your help and suggestions, keep them coming man! 👍👍👍
Ill add an 'Alternative Locations/Strategies' section in the description and add the hob goblins & Moss Giants suggestions 😁😁😁 Might add a few more bits in from the wiki pages too!
Great guide for all possible players understandably more options for newer players.
Cheers man! Yeah I'm hoping to bring more guides and members content soon especially some more advanced stuff!
haven’t played runescape regularly since 2010. started back playing yesterday. trying to do everything in f2p before i go for membership and the guides you made are a big help along with the optimal quest guide on RuneScape wiki.
Ahh gotta love the wiki! It’s my go too for everything! That and RuneLites plug-ins, if you’re not using the RuneLite client you should give it a go it’s by far the best one!
Same add me lnkdd
I'm gonna be honest. I sort of had your mentality when I started again two years ago but after getting members, it's so much easier training at rock crabs and NMZ. Just get members, it's not worth it lol
Same and same LOL been watching this dudes vids all day
I bought members so i could use proper armor for each level. Reality: cnt afford a dragon platebody so im sticking with rune
Haha there's probably better choices of armour anyway that don't cost 2.5 mil a piece. It does look pretty sick though. 😅 Something to save up for in the future maybe?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight i have a lot to save for as im broke like 95% of the time
You and me both man 👍 😅 hopefully this will be a prosperous year ahead for us both!
you can get obsidian set for the dps boost for training but dragon platebody is truly awesome and a must have
Buys members
Best I can do is granite 😂😂
i just started and im base 20 in strength attack and defense this guide helped a lot ty!
Hello Spy3s! Thank you for the comment and the positive feedback! It’s appreciated man! 😁 Also glad you found the guide useful 👍 Good luck on your OSRS journey, and stay safe!
Same add me lnkdd
honestly the magic part. yeah do witches. then take the boat to karamja. kill imps for beads. hand them in and u should be 15 magic.
its one of the first things i do when i do leagues. or atleast did last time. it gave me a quick headstart.
Yeah for such a low level quest Vampire Slayer throws some crazy attack Xp! 👌 Thanks for the comment @miciso666 😎👍👍👍
Thanks man your the best guide for f2p players :D
Thank you for the awesome comment DevFish69! 😁👍 your support is greatly appreciated 👍
Came back a year or so after watching this, was just getting in the game and fell in love, fast forward to 2024 and im pass 1500 total lvl and just finished ds2 and am currently rebuilding with a DHC at vorkath and plan to stay there till 100m or 95 range whatever comes first.
That’s awesome man 👌😁 I really need to get my act together in terms of getting my HCIM to DS2! Good luck with the Vorkath 😁👍🍀
@TheLumbridgeKnight will do 😀 keep these videos up maybe even a 2024 guide might be a good idea since meta has changed for some things
Yeah id love to get P2P guides up! not sure ill have got my main to 126 combat this year though...
One thing that works for me is using the long sword and using the “Lunge” attack option. It equally levels up my melee, and it works
That's an option, as long as you dont mind sacrificing some DPS 👍👍
Excellent guide, well done!
Cheers Mate! Glad you think so and thanks so much for the comment! 👍👍👍
I've been playing on and off for about 12 years. Recently getting back into it, although it's mostly AFK now days. Thank you for the guide.
Hey THEmickTHEgun! Cheers for the comment brother! I’m the same really only got back in seriously during the lockdowns… Wish I’d kept it up from the start 😅😅 my main would be a lot higher level that’s for sure… You stick in F2P or do you do members?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I tried membership once but got a tad overwhelmed so I only play f2p now. But the more I play the more I learn so I might consider membership again.
That happened to me to be honest. Members is far far bigger than it was back in the day. It's hard to find where to start! My only advice would be think about what you want to do and just go for that. Like, my current goal is to get a quest cape on both my HCIM and my Main... I might get there one day! 😅😅😅 maybe 2030...
Seagulls are excellent for early game training as they have -42 defensive stats like chickens (cows have -21) but have more hp than chickens, 6 for lvl 2s and 10 for lvl 3s. They are in port sarim but often crowded by splashers so I suggest to head to the corsair cove as there are many lvl 3 seagulls at the port. If you need the cow hide for crafting then do cows but the feathers can be bought in bulk very cheap so I don't recommend chickens. Later on I would recommend switching places frequently as most creatures have 0 defensive stats so your only enemy is a burnout. Giants have good drops and you def want some laws as an ironman.
Btw thanks for mentioning the cw boots, I didn't know those were f2p and had such good stats!
Haha no problem! At first neither did I! It was someone in the comments who told me off when I said SoS boots where the bis 😅😂
Yeah seagulls are good! I just didn’t recommend them because whenever I go there they seem to be busy! But Corsair Cove is a good choice! Thanks for the comment 😁👍👍
after the camdozaal stuff. honestly that area is the BEST just do mining first get the buffs and first mace piece.
then level up fishing elsewhere or here. and get the 2nd piece along with fish cook and prayer :O
then once u get the 5 defence buff the golems are amazing at 40s or late 50s. great combat exp and runecraft exp.
plus its i think the fastest exp per hour possible in f2p. plus u can alch extra parts for big cash.
Yo miciso666! Thanks for the comments man 😁👍 Totally agree, fighting golems in camdozaal with the def buff and the mace offers probably the best melee Xp rate in F2P! 👌
hill giants for good xp, beginner clues, bones AND obor keys!
moss giants for bryophyta keys, good xp, AFK and beginner clues!
both are weak to slash attacks
also: the runelite plugin npc agression timer
it shows the lines on the floor to step over for the npcs to be agro again! so even better afk!
Oh! I didn’t realise the NPC plugin should the agro lines! That’s mega useful! Definitely agree that hill and moss giants are great training enemies too! 👍😁 Thanks for the tips and for leaving a comment 😁👍 much appreciated 👍 Stay Safe!
Also you can use beginner prayers the drain rate was dropped to 1.67 pts per minute. At 48 prayer you can last lke 30mins with god rune armor and recharge at either ferox or lumbridge alter. And use canoe sytem or skull sceptre to get back quick. Next teir of prayers drain to fast only 5min before full drain. Ferox is better because it also has the pool to full heal. Hopefull they either make ring of dueling f2p or also decrease prayer drain rate for other.
Ahh that's a great idea to boost your DPS and increase XP 👍👌 Love it, definitely made a note for future updates, Gracias!
You deserve more subs. Very good content. Subbed and liked!
Yo huvrmedia! Thank you for the sub! And the support it’s much appreciated! 😁👍 Glad you like the channel 😁👍👍👍
Hill giants are excellent training. Decent drops too.
Yeah for sure! Plenty of spawns and who doesn't want to get some keys and kill and fight Obor for a Hill Giant Club! 😁😁😁
going to spiders at base 60s you have to bank food very often, no reason to not stay at flesh crawlers until base 80s at least
Yo OSRSylent_1 Fair point, thanks for the comment! Do you think you might not need base 80s, maybe just 80 defence?
the two main issues, is castal wars 400 games let alone 134 if you win every match. barely anyone plays it in f2p and if you do it's mostly likely to have greedy players. so even if you afk it. you'll be sitting around for 20 mins to get 1 ticket. castle war's is such a drag
Yo cagethelonewolf! Thanks for the comment bud! I couldn’t agree with you more! I think castle wars is long overdue an overhaul! Be nice to see some buzz around it again like back in the old days. A few new maps, better rewards and just some care and attention would be great! Personally, I’ve not bothered getting the boots, but unfortunately they are by far the best in slot F2P melee boots… 😅
I had no idea castle wars was available to f2p… 😅
Same here! I even googled it to see why it's being mentioned in the video. And then the first thing I read is from wikibooks saying "Castle Wars is a Runescape minigame for members only. It is like Capture the Flag, but with fighting."@@akfitness4077
Awesome work!
🍻 Cheers Phil! 👍 Thanks again for the comments 😁
love your editing
Thanks Tanner! Your comment is much appreciated and glad my efforts are having an effect! Constantly trying to learn and improve! Thanks again and if you have any other feedback or comments on my channel please let me know! 😁😁😁👍👍👍

Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the sub srkz 😁😁😁 Glad the video helped 👍👍👍
Been training on hill giants pretty good if your leveling prayer and melee.
Yeah I am a fan of the old Hill Giants! There's a great spot over in Al Kharid that everyone forgets about! 😃
Was castle wars always f2p? I thought you had to be a member for that. Used to love me some castle wars. One of the more fun ways to get some combat xp
Yeah it was members only in the past for sure! It’s definitely a good change up piece of gameplay. You can get some of the best items in F2P doing it too! 👌 Overall though I’d like to see them revamp it a bit going forwards, bring the crowds back 😂🙌🏻
Just finished the Dragon Slayer Quest the other day and I was so fucking pissed, I had no idea that it gave you all that XP at the end, I completed it on my Mage pure....
Oh no! Yeah it’s a huge amount of str and def exp… I’m sorry man! Are you stick F2P or Members?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight F2p
I was pissed but still found it funny haha
A sense of humour is a must in OSRS for sure! I’ve made some terrible mistakes over the years 😂😂😂 as a kid I used to start a new account every time I got angry or got PK’ed 😂😂😂 fun times! Are you cracking on with the modded mage pure or is it a start again job?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I havent played much on that one since it happened haha
Oh no! 😬 kinda spoils the purity when you get levels you don’t want 🥲 I’ve not made a pure since Rune 2 handers and black armour was king 😂😂😂 gd old strength pures 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
They really need to give an update of something slightly better than the red spiders and a change of scenery for people from like base 80’s
Hello NTW, thanks for the comment man! Yeah totally agree, I'd like to see a lot of development in F2P 👍👍👍
It's called members
imagine paying for a free game@@GardyRuisu
The castle wars boots are called "Decorative Boots" since for some reason the guide didn't tell you what they were.
Haha I didn't name them because I don't think I've ever earned a pair! Still on my to do list I'm afraid... Along with my F2P Castle Wars guide... 😅😬
Why is lumbridge swamp better than training against hill giants? Is it just receiving less damage?
Hi mohammadaboug! It's not that its better, its just that Frogs have a much lower defence relative to their HP than Hill Giants. So in theory you will do a higher DPS to the Frogs that the Giants, so because XP is linked to damage for combat, you will gain XP quicker against the Frogs. The downside is that the Frogs can be a busy spot and apart from Big Bones their drops are rubbish. Hopefully that makes sense 😅 Thanks for the comment!
Ha this is the same stuff I used to do like 10 years ago. Throw in mossgiants or normal giants
Cheers for the comment scanjet1000! Yeah man its still got all the classics!
Potentially dumb question: What is the advantage in upgrading your Scimitar type if what you want is as many landed hits as possible? Just for the sake of clearing more enemies while at it?
ahh i see what you are saying. So, for combat skills xp is awarded per point of damage. Each time you upgrade your scimitar, its attack and strength values increase. This means your max hit increases and you also become more accurate. And yeah, will kill enemies quicker. Which in turn means you can kill more. 😅 Erm try to think of it as like damage per hour of training. Equally, you need to be training on level relevant mobs otherwise your max hit might become higher than the amount of health they have so you will be stunting you xp and having to click more. Thats why most of the training mobs in the video have high hit points relevant to the training level. I hope that makes some sense... 😅😅😅 Let me know if it doesn't...🤣🤣🤣
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Oh yeah for sure, ty mate. Just had no idea the XP return per hit is linked to the actual number. I remember being sad when damage was too high because it meant I need to switch mobs more often, rofl. Now I'm happy the higher it is! Which ties into the whole "I'm getting stronger" idea pretty well. Really clever XP system in my opinion, literally playing slots!
@@gzaaghon9785 Awesome! Glad that made some sense 😅 Yeah OSRS is definitely a game that on the surface looks simple, but when you get into it, it can become quite a technical and complex game. The top players can do some crazy things.
Legend
Cheers man 👍🫡
I have 40 attack, 1 DEF and 55 STR. Wanting to keep the defence at 1 but it makes it hard to survive a lot of the time naturally. What STR level would you suggest I leave the monks village to the next stage?
Haha nice going for an iron pure! A bold strategy sir I haven’t made a pure in years, not since the days of the old black pures… Anyway what combat level are you, about 38? I’m reading this as you’re still training at the monks? I think you could easily move into the barbarian village or the giant frogs as you are, obviously with 1 def your probably need a decent food supply 🤔 Let me know if I’ve got that wrong and I’ll get back to you! Thanks for the question though, hopefully that helped! 😅👍
So...
I was killing giant frogs for training, got a bigginers clue scroll, and claimed and got demon feet)
Lucky Lucky!! 🍀🍀🍀 I managed to get the Frog Feet on my first Beginner Clue! 🐸🐸🐸
I lucked out on my alt account and got obor club on my first kill. Meanwhile, my main is like 30 kc no club.
I killed lv 5 goblins to base 40s and hill giants to base 60
Please 🙏 tell me you kill goblins in the hut in Lumbridge and fume when a noob comes in and leaves the door open? 😂 I love that little hut 😂 It’s personal preference of course! The suggestions in the video are just based on enemies with low defence and high hp for the training level. I think,like you, I historically used to get base 20 at the goblins, then 30-40 in the barbarian long house and then hit the hill giants after that! Thanks for the comment 👍👍👍
I’ll admit, I closed this video a few days ago and thought this guy is stupid when he said lvl magic, now I regret not listening
Haha yeah its a weird one the old Vampire Slayer quest, but its a good kick starter. Don't worry if you didn't do this step though, most of my accounts did it the old fashioned way... Thanks for the comment bcabb2896! 👍👍
No one has made a f2p challenge. I'm doing this rn and making a video about it till 99.
That’s awesome man! Good luck with it! You’ll have to let me know when it’s done! I spent so long in F2P growing up I’m not sure I could face trying for 99. AFK at the spiders in SoS wouldn’t be too bad to be fair especially now we’re all working from home 😂
thanks a lot for the guide :)
1 detail tho, the tutor didnt give me staff. And when I google it she never did. I'm very confuse
Thanks for the comment antoinelanglois8587! Ahh no you can't get a staff from the tutor, you need to buy one from the GE or the staff shop in Varrock. The tutor will only give you a small amount of starter runes, if you dont have nay in you bank or inventory. hope that helps man! 👍👍
Hey sorry if this is a dumb question ( im still pretty new ) but whats the point of buying the other amulets if you can only have 1 equipped at a time
Hello West Coast Ghost! No worries buddy! It really depends on your account type and build. So I’ll try and give a quick overview:
The amulet of accuracy is a quest reward so it’s ideal for ironmen and players with not a lot of money. But it’s bonuses (+4 to all att stats) are pretty low so general accounts can buy an amulet of power or strength from the GE.
The amulet of power is the best all round amulet in F2P as it gives +6 to att, def, melee str and +1 prayer. Probably what most people use, and what I’d buy for a fresh general character, not overly expensive on the GE either. Ironmen will struggle to get one as they need to craft it themselves which needs 70 crafting.
Amulet of strength give +10 melee strength. Best to think of melee strength as extra damage potential so wearing this amulet will give you a higher maximum hit. A good choice also and again harder for ironmen as they will need 50 crafting to make it.
The other amulets in F2P are magic and defence. For melee magic doesn’t help at all. Amulet of defence give +7 def against all damage types might be useful for certain applications but better off just going for the amulet of power.
Basically if your not an Ironman and you’d not trying to do some kind of special build or something just head to the GE and buy an amulet of power 😅 hope that explained it for you bud 👍 thanks for the comment and gd luck with your account!
Very good locations
Thanks a lot for the comment no chance! Glad you like it 👍👍👍
a suggestion if i could make one. why not attack lesser demons for high lvl cb (75+ base lvls) players. it gives vile ashes which are useful in training prayer. they are agrresive so you can go afk.
Yo Vivek! How’s it going! Suggest away man! Always happy to hear other people’s methods! 👍👍 Yeah lesser demons would certainly work as you say and you can also get some decent drops off them too! I only suggest AFK at the spider over the lesser demons because SOS is much closer to a bank and the spiders will do a lot less damage versus the lesser demons. 🤷🏻♂️ but obviously the spiders don’t really drop anything good. Be interesting to see the difference between the two at +75 combat level 🤔 thanks for the suggestion and for leaving a comment brother! 👍👍👍
What are the amulets for? Whats the difference between them? I have them all but dont know which one i use
Hello Kyut! Apologies for taking so long to reply 😅 my comments seem to have exploded recently and I’ve been off doing some redecorating at home… anyway life story over.. on to your question.
So in short each amulet in F2P is just a different stat boost. So amulet of magic is +10 Magic att so you will hit more with magic while wearing this. Only useful for mages really. Amulet of defence add +7 to all defences so slightly decreases the likelihood of being hit by an attack, an all rounder not widely used unless there’s a specific reason. Amulet of strength, gives +10 str so your max hit with melee will increase. Good for all melee based fighting. The amulet of accuracy adds +3 to all forms of attack so will increase the chance of hitting a target with any attack in F2P, good for low level & Ironman accounts and last but not least is the amulet of power, by far the best amulet in F2P offering +1 prayer, +6 att, +6 def and +6 str so it simultaneously increases your chance of hitting with an attack, decreases the chance of you being hit while increasing prayer and you max melee hit. Phew that was a long one! Hopefully those explanations helped! 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thank you for answering! In these 8 days i searched a lot about the game, i learned that the amulet of strength gives 4 more strength bonus than the amulet of power, so it can increase the max hit by 1 depending on your strength level, but if you're hitting the same max hit with Amulet of power, the best choice for melee is amulet of power. But if amulet of strength is increasing your max hit you use amulet of strength for training. Im now base 50 with all combat stats watching your videos haha. do you think that the +6 attack in the amulet of power can increase the xp/hour comparing if a +1 max hit?
I would say it all depends on what you’re fighting, their defence level and your equipment. Like the amulet of power also offers defensive bonuses that might mean you get hit less often. You’re attack style will also be critical to deciding which to use. You can also add in some str potions to boost your strength even further. 🤔 personally for quests, training and most instances, I’d stick with the amulet of power. If you’re using a 2 handed high strength weapon like the rune 2hander. I’d go all in on strength and switch out to the amulet of strength. Hope that kinda helps 😅 in short there’s a lot of factors to consider so it’s hard to say one over the other, if I doubt use the amulet of power 🤷🏻♂️ 👍👍👍
The flesh crawlers have stopped fighting me and no matter if i go to another area or change worlds they still dont attack 🤔
They are still definitely aggressive to all levels, have you tried moving back up the ladder to the first floor and then coming back down? Hope you got this sorted!
I'm a pure with 1 defense and hill giants run thru my defense and I have to continue to buy swordfish unless there's another place I can train that's decent
Ahh man sounds rough 🤔 I’d probably say stick to the giant frogs. You could try Flesh Crawlers in SOS? They have a max hit of 1 and you can do it AFK?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ty I appreciate the response I'll give it a shot
Al-kharid warriors are good because you fight multiple with 1 click
Hi scott_9135! Yeah Al-kharid warriors are a good option, easy to safe spot too! 👍
Love your content! Subbed for more ^^
Cheers Wooly! Thanks a lot for the comment and the sub, they are much appreciated! Hoping to get more guides like this out in the next few months! 🤞🤞🤞
I see so many people with that shield you're using... which one is that? Sorry, just coming back to game after years. Haven't played since RS3 launched I think... and having to start all over.
Ahh yeah no problem at all Ziploc_Wonder! The shield I think you are talking about is the white and blue one right? Its the Training Shield. You can get a free one from the combat tutor in Lumbridge near the general store, from memory I think its basically the same as a wooden shield, but imo looks a lot better! Thanks again for the comment! And welcome back! 😃😃😃
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ooh okay! Thank you so much! Awesome awesome!
I'm making my way through your quest guide series of things I can handle at a baby combat level and then I'll work on Skilling some until I get the hang of game... Still unsure about Membership... Seems exponentially more overwhelming than what I feel now trying to relearn everything.
But yes, sorry for the rambling. Love all your videos. Thank you so much.
Not at all 😁 ramble away! Yeah I’d find your feet in F2P and if you’re enjoying it and hit around level 40 in most of the skills and you get through all of the quests maybe buy a bond and give it a go to see if you like it 👍 You can always come back to just F2P 😁
Members is good but best to come up with a plan/decide what you’re goals are as its so much more in depth versus F2P!
Is rune warhammer better now with the upgraded strength it gives?
It’s certainly better than it was, id have to run the numbers to be 100%, but that 6 tick attack speed still means the Scimmy is the best, as its speed is only 4. 🤔
what does base mean also does this work for str pure or is there another method? my char has 1 def
Hello Xylaax! By 'base' generally I just mean the same in Att, Str & Def. You could definitely use the basic steps for a Str Pure. The time for moving the training areas would just be different as you would be a much lower combat level. So i would suggest as a base point where i say base 20 stats, maybe sub that for base 20 combat level. It will take longer for sure and im not an expert in Str Pures, but hopefully that will help!
Is castel wars free to play now?? Haven’t played ors in a long time
It is indeed! I need to make a guide for it to be honest 😅
@@TheLumbridgeKnight i still cannot find out how to get there ☹️
Are there any decent spots that have decent drops as well? Flesh crawl loot tablet is pretty ass
Yeah that’s the big downside of the flesh crawlers and the giant spiders. 🤔 Moss Giants have ok drops and the body golems in Camdozaal aren’t too bad for gems and body cores if you want to bank some runecrafting xp for later. 🤔 lesser demons and Ogresses probably have the best drops but I’d recommend base 50+ ideally 60+ to make farming them efficient as their defence stats are pretty high and they can hit quite hard! Thanks for the comment dude! I hope that helps you decide! 😁👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I heard ogresses is the best once you can reliably take them on.
I just hit 60-60-60 in all Melee stats, ready to move on from Flesh Crawlers lol..
Ahh nice! Yeah the ogresses are a really good spot, to be honest I’ve only ever used magic and ranged against them as they are easy safe spots, base 60 I think you’d be fine with them, just take decent food and avoid the shamans!
Where else would i go if there are bots in the lumbridge swamp in every world
There’s a few alternatives that aren’t too bad. You could go to the long house in the barbarian village, I’ve done a lot of training there in the past. 🤔 The hill giants in Al’kharid are also a good option a lot of people forget about, they are level 35 though. Monks at the monastery near Edgeville or Al’kharid Warriors are also decent options too! And failing that city guards. Hopefully one of those options will work for you 👍👍👍 Good luck with your training! 🍀
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks, i'm pretty new to the game and i'm currently trying to get my skills up for the dragon slayer quest
Ahh one of, if not my favourite OSRS quests! Good luck man 😁👍 really fun quest! 👌
i was puzzled on on how to get the quest for a hot minit
Ahh sorry bud! Tried to keep the guide length down as short as possible so I just mentioned the quest rather than having a full guide. I should have a full guide to all of the F2P quests on the channel though! And if you still get stuck I can’t recommend OSRS Wiki enough, it’s a great resource and there’s a link to their site in all of my videos descriptions 👍
when i try to fight the count like this all my attacks miss and he just heals back to full am i doing something wrong?
Hi mogunium6947! Despite this being a low level quest the count is pretty hard for low levels. Make sure you have the clove of garlic 🧄 in your inventory when you fight him as this makes him a bit weaker. I assume you’re trying to kill him with magic? If so make sure you have some decent magic gear and ammy of magic is very useful, unequip any armour and just make sure you have a positive magic attack bonus on your equipment screen. If you’re still struggling just go train you magic and gain another 3-5 levels and try again? 😅😁👍 Hope that answers your question and thanks for the comment 😁👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks for the reply I had the wrong gear on
Ahh no worries 😁 Glad you got sorted 👍 Gd luck for your training 🍀👍
Just got back in i love this game lol messed up on sheild of arrav lol i cant get anyome to help with quest
Ahh that sucks! You can make a second character to do the quest with yourself or there is actually a chat group in the game. I show it in the video but it’s kinda horrible to use 😅😅😅
What did you mess up or do you just need a partner?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight so on my main character i joined pheonix gang but its been so long that i forgot i need another person so while i was in pheonix gang i killed the weapon master while i was still in pheonix gang nd got the bows but i figured it out lol made another character nd gave them the bows
@@TheLumbridgeKnight then i made the next account join black arm gang and that account i gave the bows to and i got the other half of sheild
do you have a 1-99 guide for P2P?
Yo man! Unfortunatly, I don't atm! P2P content is something I am hoping to get into more heavily in the summer so hopefully I can get started soon. And when I do a P2P melee training guide will be pretty close to the top as I think this is by a country mile my best performing video!
Wrong train str. Before attack
That’s your choice man, I think mathematically att is better as upgrading your equipment will increase accuracy and max hit. Strength will only improve your potential max hit. So I think you will get a higher DPS by prioritising att and equipment upgrades. 🤷🏻♂️ I could be wrong, it’s personal preference in any case I’m trying to present the most efficient path, but people should play how they want to play. Thanks for the comment 👍👍
How u get to castle wars in f2p? Tought this was only for members?
Yo RoadZlife! Yes once upon a time it definitely was members only 😅 not sure when they brought it over exactly but if you go to the mini game teleport it will take you there 👍 hope that helped!
did DS1 by flinching with 20 attack and omfg did that take forever
hahaha I can imagine. It's not exactly quick with base 40 stats 😅 Thanks for the comment brother!
I wasn't able to safe spot him.. not sure if I did it wrong or they patched it. Killed him anyway.
Yeah the safe spot is a right pain to get… you can do it right and he doesn’t always fall for it 😬 very dangerous one to try low level if you’re a HCIM. You have to do something similar for the first part of the ‘Witches House’ quest and I messed that up recently too 😅
Is it a good idea to train melee in f2p from 80 to 99 only with body golems?
Hello Meninx87, its not a bad idea as long as you’ve got yourself a Barronite Mace and paid Ramarno for the Defence Buff (2500 B’nite shards). In fact with that set up and full rune, it’s probably the best melee exp in F2P. The only issue is that each Golem needs to be individually clicked, so it’s not very AFK and obviously 80-99 you need a lot of clicks versus the giant spiders in SOS which only need clicks every 10 minutes to restore the agro 🤷🏻♂️ It’s a good idea though for sure 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thank you! ❤️
Hope it works out for you bud! I did that exact method from melee base 40-60 👌 there’s also a bank chest very close too! So apart from the lack of automatic agro it is a really gd spot 👍
Giant spiders aren’t aggro for me. 99 attack, hp, and strength. 94 defense
Hello Zombies In Space, love the name! Damn, I've had a few people say this before, you are on OSRS and not RS3 right? And it's the level 50 Spiders on SOS floor 3? Sorry just got to check. If you are on OSRS and the redish giant spiders aren't aggressive, I'd try moving from one side of the dungeon to the other and back again, see if you've just dropped the aggro. That will happen every 10-15 minutes anyway no matter what you train on. Sorry if all that is just stating the obvious... It probably is... 😬😬😬 If this is the case then i must apologise to you as this must mean that the spiders are not aggressive after 102 combat, (though the wiki says that they are). If anyone is 102+ combat can you confirm if the spiders on the 3rd floor of SOS are still aggressive? Check the flesh crawlers on the floor above as they too are supposed to be aggressive to players of all levels? Hope some of that helps! 😅👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thank you! I’m on RS3, had this account for around 20 years playing off and on. My combat is 120 something and I’ve tried leaving and returning but I think I’m just too high of a level to train on those spiders now
@@TheLumbridgeKnight If I have to click every target to attack, I mine as well kill something I can farm gp
Yo Zombies in Space! I see your problem! For some reason they changed this for RS3 so I don’t think they are always aggressive like they are on OSRS… 😬 yeah like you say if you’re going to have to do it manually you’re probably better off doing ogresses or lesser demons at this point 🤔
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Sorry I didn’t originally notice it said OSRS. I think it’s lame they make you start over for OSRS, if I could have my account with the same stats on OSRS, I would definitely play it instead.
Took down elvarg at combat lvl 33. Still dont know what flinching is lol
Haha well if you’ve got the skills you clearly don’t need it! 😁👍 It’s not something I used much until recently really takes the risk out of battles if you can use it. Thanks for the comment nifegun! 👍👍
@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks for the content lumbridge knight. But yeah, didn't have the skills either. I was streaming at the time and told chat to chill for a minute while a watched a 1m UA-cam video on how to safespot elvarg, then just did what he did. Granted I'm also playing ranged main, and wasn't member at the time, so I also had terrible damage cause I was using bronze xbow and bolts. Took a whole inv of lobsters, but I did it. 2nd try lol
No ogreeses?
Ahh soo in terms of efficiency the ogresses have really high defence stats so if you’re looking to level fast they aren’t the best. 🤔 I definitely think they are worth fighting for money and variety, but the spiders in SOS are pretty much AFK too!
What pures should do?
Yo Zain, it’s a bit more complicated for pures, which is why I didn’t really go there. In general it will really depend on what type of build you are going for. So if you were doing a strength pure you could absolutely follow along, just make sure your combat level is high enough at each stage and you should be fine 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ok. I appreciate that you are responding. Wish to your channel big growth
Monks are the way to go
Don't they sell scimitar in al k- the desert
They do! Zeke’s sells them but only up to Mith for some reason 😢
@@TheLumbridgeKnight saw that about an hour after I posted haha
Not to hate or something but the guide says F2P but you mention member items and locations...
Hi Thunderworgen. Sorry, but I've just reviewed the video to double check and there are no members items or locations mentioned in the video. I'm not really sure which bit you think is members, I'm guessing you mean Castle Wars, its not been members only for a good while, F2P players can play Castle Wars using the mini game teleport to get there.
@@TheLumbridgeKnight My apologies it seems my data was outdated, you see I haven't played RuneScape in a long time and wanted to get back into it. Anyway great video and again sorry for the misunderstanding.
Haha don’t worry about it man! I was in the same boat once… when I first started I was telling everyone that the SOS boots were the BIS for F2P… Only for a load of people to comment and tell me I was wrong 😅 It’s not quite the RS2 we used to play back in the day. To be honest I wish they would do more with Castle Wars both in F2P and P2P…
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Yeah I already appreciate the game is mostly playable for F2P without it forcing you to buy member to continue the game.. Anyway do you happen to also have guides for members because I was browsing the other day and there are a lot of channels that make video's that add too much technicall and complicated stuff...
I have a few… like I’ve got some Wintertodt guides and some quests but I need to get on it and do it properly 😅 I’m hoping by the summer I’ll be onto members stuff exclusively!
Changing worlds didnt work for AFK
Hi Andrew ahh sorry to hear that… That’s annoying… 😬 I guess all you can do in that case is move away from the area until another enemy starts attacking you and then go back or switch floors and go back maybe? 🤔 Sorry bud! I’ll have to add it to my updates list. Cheers for letting me know though 👍👍👍
"behind there is a fire that never goes out".... if that aint the truth mate
Cheers for the comment man! 100% true. The fire 🔥 to the east of barbarian village never goes out bro! Cross my heart… I assume that’s true also for RS3 but I’m guess there as I don’t play RS3 atm…
osrs talking about dps like it means anything other than 'get the best weapon'
Haha admittedly in F2P it’s a lot simpler, a lot is dependent on your weapon, but it’s still worth understanding if you want to maximise your damage. Attack style and the enemy you’re fighting can have an impact.
Is It patched? Spiders do not attack me.
Hello Señor, I don't think its been patched. Perhaps there is a mistake on the wiki page I followed for the guide, so if you are over combat level 102 then perhaps you wont generate argo. If you are below that level I sent my level 80 HCIM there just now to check and the spiders attacked me. Are you over combat 102? If not I'd try leaving the floor and re-entering and the spiders should automatically attack you. Let me know how you get on!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight they never attack me no matter what, my combat lvl Is 99.
Is there any other method f2p afk?
@@senorenigma2529 Even at 99 they should still attack you bro! I've had a max combat account check and they were still aggressive for him... You could try either Ice Warriors 🧊 - Asgarnian Ice Dungeon or Frozen Waste Plateau or Lesser Demons in the volcano 🌋 on Karamja? There's a few spots in the wilderness too but that obviously has the disadvantage of Pkers ruining your training... Maybe try the Ice Warriors as it might be less popular that then Lesser Demons?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ok thx. Also the spiders that i see are level 36 or something. I dont see lvl 50 spiders and im at the same spot.
Ahh dude you need to find the level 50 Red Spiders on level 3 (the green level) the pit of pestilence of the Stronghold of Security the level is full of them, if you do a lap of the floor you can’t help but bump into them. Don’t get confused with the regular giant spiders 🕷
Barbarians ain’t dropping 💩 for me 😢
Aww man, yeah they aren’t great you could always switch it up and try Minotaurs in SOS? They are lvl 25 so as long as you’re ok with their higher lvl I don’t think they are aggressive 👍
I like f2p, It reminds me of being a kid and never being able to get my parents to buy me membership. You gotta work harder for your xp
Hahaha! I had that exact same experience 😂 and back then it was only £3.50 a month, literally nothing and I had to beg for years to get a membership 😂 I do like how RuneScape has alway had a pretty hardcore approach to levelling, it makes it kinda worthwhile to grind if it’s a proper achievement, they could be a tiny bit more generous though…
there are no lvl 50+ spiders Sadge
There should definitely be some on level 3 dude. Double check your looking in the right place… I did have someone else tell me they couldn’t find them either… dunno if there’s a problem on level 3 or something…. I will have another look and triple check this 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight im playing rs3 i went the same spot as the video but cant seem to find it Sad. thanks for your help!!
Ahh sorry bro that will be it... they must have changed it for RS3... 😥😥😥 Sorry bro!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight All good! thanks for the video keep it up! :)
You make a lot of assumptions for people that are literally brand new to the game. Lots of stuff that you gloss over without explaining leaving me confused.
Yo vital114! Thanks for the comment man! If you don’t mind me asking, which bits specifically did you have trouble with? I can try to answer here or if there’s enough potential for a video I could look to put something together 😁 Please let me know cheers! 🍻
U are wrong i am lvling my def to 1
Hey man, as people are fond of saying ‘you do you’ whatever floats your boat! I used to make pures and pk accounts back in the day, but if you’re planning on taking an account into members or you want the easy road you gotta level defence. Doing dragon slayer with 1 def isn’t impossible but the majority of ppl would find it difficult. 🤷🏻♂️ I tried to make the guide to appeal to the majority and the easiest road. Nothing wrong with making your own path 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight i made a main acc too but i made 3 pures lol
Nice! Gotta have a main! What pures did you make? I’ve only really made the old fashioned black/R2hander pker 😅 40 att, 10 def, 60+ str 😂 that was before mages came in and absolutely wrecked it 😂😂😂
Not a good pure guide bad advertisement
Sorry to see you didn’t like the guide, what didn’t you like? If you can let me know I can look to update the video or include changes in future videos 👍 cheers!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight fair enough it said melee guide I think most returning f2p are looking for pvp eventually. If not they’d be on rs3. A pure guide showing where and what you’ll need in f2p would be nice. Now that you can’t use GE until 100 total points, 20 quest points and blah blah maybe add in how to get some supplies. The GE thing made me quit osrs again because I don’t have time without the ge lol
Yeah that update totally passed me by… Until I needed to use multiple accounts for a video… 😪 I than had to grind 20 hours doing quests… I didn’t realise it locked out the GE too! Brutal! Guess everyone starts as a Ironman these days! Yeah definitely got to get some pure video up in the future for sure! Thanks for the feedback 😁👍👍👍
Life's way too short to be playing f2p runescape in 2023...
Haha we will all be on F2P if the works carries on the way it’s going 😂😂😂
Porn is bad
🤣🤣🤣 not sure my video has the same climax to be honest...
@@TheLumbridgeKnight sorry these vids so nostalgic got confused
@@CarsGettingHurt lol!!! Mate, I know exactly what you mean! I did not expect to be making RS2 videos in my 30's lol WTF! I wont lie I'm loving it...
Just hit level 40 on all 3 stats I don’t know how I’m gonna be able to make the gp for the rune set lol I just started this game yesterday
Yo man! You should check out my money maker video if your just starting out. Also if you aren’t playing an Ironman account there’s plenty of videos on how you could make some money 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ya I found another video for money making methods I just go down to draynor village and buy empty jugs and sell them at the GE
That sounds brutal… what kinda money do you make?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight well it takes a while to buy the jugs but its worth it because the gp multiplies by 3 everytime I do it, im taking a break from now because 50 to 60 is gonna take a while lol. But I almost got full rune I just substitued the chestplate for the chain. Once I hit 60 i will look to do dragonslayer 1
I guess they nerfed the flesh crawlers they placed very dangerous zombies in the farming room so I guess i wont be getting that scepter part and exp at the same time rip have to farm the lower level zombies in a room with 1 flesh crawler
edit: never mind I assumed the map is of the furthest corner
Yo Jessie! Sorry I took so long to respond! Glad you found it! Yeah the SE corner room I think it is, is just full of flesh crawlers. Probably the best spot to get parts to recharge the staff too as those guys are easy to afk and don’t deal a huge amount of damage. Hope you managed to get your Sceptre built! Don’t forget to get it imbued 👍👍👍 thanks for the comment!
