TipIt was kinda awful tho.. Yeah it was source for lot of information for sure, but a ton of the information there was just plain incorrect and misleading. Rune hq was amazing tho, even if it probably was relatively limited even back then.. We just didn't know any better
One little wiki tip, when playing osrs, under your map there's a globe and a small "wiki" flag. If you click the wiki flag and a certain item/npc/obstacle or whatsoever, it automatically opens the wiki page about the thing you clicked.
That's a Runelite feature, but you should be using Runelite anyway. On top of that, if you right click it there'll be a 'DPS' option. You can use that button to immediately load your current setup into a damage calculator where you can compare different items or see what effect certain levels/effects might have on your gear. You can learn a lot just by fiddling around with it occasionally.
You should react to Marsteads video "Runescape is awesome and heres why" you both have a very nuanced view of the whole MMO genre and how Runescspe fits into it
Back in 06 I remember asking my friends about things I needed to know or things we could help each other with then writing it down and taking it home lol
Best advice I can give people who are lost/don’t know where to go: Do quests and achievement diaries. They not only raise your stats through requirements, they also give you unique unlockables and new monsters/bosses to fight. Even if you never go back to the boss again, you still got to experience an easier version of the fight once and play the content in the game. The questhelper plug-in on runelite makes everything so much smoother while questing too.
Truly never quit runescape, almost 22 years later. I do love the nostalgia and what not and remember the old guide books from the book fairs at the library. That was my first ever guide. Love the game ! 😅😂
The new way people play osrs is by standing at the GE and saying either Harris 2024 or Trump 2024 repeatedly. I don't mind it though, I love seeing ppl freak out and argue
as someone who has maxed a main im now maxing a iron man and it just changes the game i enjoy playing iron way more everything means so much more per unlock or every new item is game changing
When I was a kid playing this, I just mined iron in al kharid until I could mine better rocks, and so on which I'd sell for gold. I didn't have overhead prayers, etc. membership overwhelmed me lol
Runelite is good for starter but i just migrated to HDOS took some time to adjust all the plugins but its there, 18:59 Slayer is hard at 1st but once u get the helmet its fun in the higher levels and profitable in curtain monsters
Wow didn't know HDOS had all the plugins now. Tried it for a bit now and it feels way more alive. Also with runelite when i go up a floor the background blacks out like at rooftops. I hate it.
Been really enjoying all the osrs content I used to play rs when I was 7-11yrs old and never really knew what I was doing or how quests worked as a kid, didn't touch it until about 3 months ago and have been enthralled by actually getting to explore and understand the world, characters and story. watching orur content and playing osrs have really helped me out a lot recently with enjoying my free time, thanks man
Hey Rubeus, your videos have been all over my recommended lately and I'm glad they have been. I really enjoy hearing a newer players perspective on the game! I've been playing runescape for about 18 years and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. Currently working on maxing my account, but I just play at my own pace and do whatever I'm feeling on any given day. The best thing about this game has to be that there's no wrong way to play. I love the diversity in the game more than anything. There's an activity for every mood and you don't have to wait until you're maxed to start PvM!!! That's something I see all too often.. You can use skilling as your activity to do as a break from the gp grind. Sorry for the wall of text, Keep the videos coming man, love seeing your perspective on things and your passion for the game!
Ive played very minimally on and off for years and just started a new account. Ill be starting van life soon amd thought runescape would be the ultimate time waster lol but i am just following like a speedrun guide because otherwise i just feel lost. I watch a ton of yt but it doesnt translate to playing myself
i randomly found a vid of yours then watched like 5 more. Most werent even about games. You have a lot of very cool insights about life and are very engaging to listen to. Rare to say for "react content" aha.
"the beads sell for 4k a piece" some years ago when I had my first account they were 10-11k each so I stayed there for awhile to buy everything I needed for months as a noob player. I know lots of people like being efficient but many of my friends who couldn't get into the game right away first tried to go balls out optimal mode and burned out hard. When they came back and did random bullshit they felt like doing, they kept with it and had a lot more fun and still play after years.
As a mobile only player (pc broke and I absolutely do not have the cash to buy a new one) the thing that's the most annoying is the lack of RuneLite features that are almost required. Stuff like quest helper, timers, and tile markers. I don't give a shit about the graphical stuff or whatever, but I wish the Jagex client integrated those features. I am glad however that they added markers on agility courses though, that's a lifesaver lol
@@TheUberHammer yeah I agree. I'm mostly speaking on bossing in regards to tile markers. Still doable for sure, but much more difficult than just placing a glowing tile for where you need to stand during certain points lol
attack timer metronome, bank tag layouts, and menu entry swapper are ungodly, op runelite plugins. I honestly would not play the game without them. Attack timer metronome shows your weapon cooldown ticks, which allows you to really grasp the mechanics of combat. The latter two are op quality of life plugins.
One of the best things I ever learned is this: learn to love the grinds and skills you despise. Farming became my 2nd 99, and it became Enjoyable to do it ACTIVELY to 99 rather than the passive everyone else uses it as. Same with RC (my 3rd 99) just plug it till you love it and to it AFK at Zeah while playing leagues. Find ways to make the grind work for you and do the worst first.
12:00 You're definitely onto something here.. I also have seen large amount of the player base "optimizing fun out of the game" by following the "optimal guides".. Now I'm not against those guides existing, and I definitely look up things when I'm not feeling like grass root learning certain content that I do only for 20 minutes and then move on. But in my opinion it's much easier to find fun in osrs and even in rs3 if you just make your own journey, start doing something and learn it as you go.. Blindly following a guide will make majority of the game feel like someone else is playing your account and gets really boring when you're basically just ticking boxes and don't have to figure out anything yourself. I don't however advocate people staying in F2P for too long, it's just much worse version of the game.. So if you're interested in fully experiencing osrs, get that membership early so you don't miss out on things like early agility training
When I finally started making enough money to afford skills like 99 prayer and construction I definitely felt like maxing was something I could do, but then I thought about mining to 99 and decided it would never happen. Then Shooting Stars was updated and I managed to get close to 99 before they updated the Prif stars, raking in the crystal shards, tapped it in after they took our free shards from us (which is good really it was busted).
10:09 “this game is a lot about learning to play it without having to be active to play it” This couldn’t be truer. Getting back into OSRS during summer going back into school change the way I view classwork. I was a lot more productive having something to afk while doing classwork or reading. I have dealt with a lot of depression and school always felt like such a chore. But by multi tasking, I’ve been able to spend more time in my studies, raise my gpa, and find my academic purpose. All while being a huge nerd!
back when i was a young kid and started playing after a year or two i started to go through tipit or runehq and print everything and put it into a binder, i still have it lmao
end game pvm is the first time i realized the toxic aspect of runescape. here i am trying to learn tob getting flammed for 10 hrs lmaoo. 700 completions later i dont mind going with noobs because its can be annoying but super chill.
117HD is great.. but I much prefer the benefits from using the GPU plugin, and unfortunately you can't use both as far as I know. If this has been changed lmk!
I also 2nd the point about not solely focusing on GP at the beginning. I am a newer player and when i was in f2p, I spent probably half my in game time for a week making dyes and selling on GE…. now 103cb 1700total in members wondering why tf I did that to myself… luckily I did stop and focus questing at some point which is when I started to learn that most of the fun is unlocked from other content, not GP. GP just obtains you an item for the account 95% of the time.
Ive played off and on for a decade. Only this year after my last 2yr break has the overhead prayers clicked for me. Its hard for me to switch in combat. But hefore i literaly never used prayers lol. I wish it could just be hotkeyed though.
On my main i got the quest cape without runelite, now doing it all over again on a iron man with runelite. Such a better time, the best tip i can give: make an iron man and dont follow a guide.
I'm 42 levels from max and I spin a random wheel to tell me what level to get next, 1 level at a time. And if I don't want to I just do something different for a bit and then come back to the wheel.
Runescape.. This game was huge back in the days, 2001-2007.. I remember trading items with other players in Varock and Falador, typing 'selling rune scimmy 30k' for 12 hours straight.. I wont play this game anymore. It's full of bots, malicious website scammers, scammers, you name it... Why would i invest 100 hours to make 100M? There are plenty of people running 10, maby 100s of bots that make 100B in the same time.. Playing an ironman could be fun, but a normal account isnt worth the time.. Back in the day we asked people for their strength lvl or questpoints.. 'my lvls are x and x' Nowadays you ask a random player for help.. 'bring your bank and take this teleport, meet my main over there'.. Or it is just a simple 'gtfo kid'..
Congrats on the massive growth over the past few weeks, man! I had an idea when I was watching one of your vids the other day (may be a stretch) - Long form written content is making a comeback and your videos are sorta essayish, so what if you used AI to transcribe your videos, edit and format the text, and create some sort of blog (plenty of options here). You could embed the video into each post as well. Just an idea! Maybe a way to generate traffic from other parts of the internet! Much love and keep it up!
I’m starting the late game. I have quest cape and achievement cape. I suck at bosses harder than hydra. Can barely do ToA 150+. I have no idea what to do in the game now.
Not to be that guy, but you should go check out the video I made about what the game is like for a maxed player. I had my friend Chris on who has 6k+ hours in game and he had some really good thoughts about the loop of this game and how not knowing what to do is normal.
@@rubeuscubeusyeah I have like 11k hours and really the answer is to just do things to get better at pvm if he wants to pvm. Too many guides to be specific in a comment lol
Slayer was my go to activity, but I did notice that some of the longer tasks made me not want to login sometimes. After unlocking boss tasks though, it is one of my favorite skills. Sometimes I get a chill AFK task. Somtimes I get to barrage. Sometimes I am encourage to learn a new boss, and I am loving it.
The way veteran players play compared to newer ones is always interesting to see. Most players who have been around for 10-20 years play by quest spamming bare minimum Barrow Gloves at start within a week or 2, tick manipulate AND afk skill until around 70-80s, and then either skill to 99s or start making their rounds on optimal bossing order depending on which is of higher interest to the player. Main difference overall with a veteran player is they could easily have a gameplan for 1,000+ hours into an account from the first minutes they get off tutorial island all the way to mid-late game best in slot. A lot of veteran players have done this not only once, but generally multiple times sometimes even in the double digit numbers. A issue a lot of newer players have is they see veteran players doing this and think "Oh, I need to follow an optimal guide to progress my account," not often realizing these veteran players are not actually following any guide at all and simply know how to adapt optimal gameplay to whatever goals they want. Newer players will often fall into the trap of imitating this without that adaptability of knowing how to adjust their gameplay to fit their goals. Think the most obvious time I have ever seen this is Leagues 4. It was the first league I ever played after being away from the game for several years. Had a full game plan from inferno cape week 1, best in slot week 2, and maxed week 3. I noticed by week 2 a lot of people seem to not really know what to do despite having more recent playtime, league experience, and ironman experience compared to me at the time. The trap a lot of people fall into is following guide after guide after guide without building up the adaptability to understand how to form their own optimal path without a guide. Woox is a great example of this as he barely plays the game these days, but whenever he does return he has the game knowledge and adaptability to tackle any new challenge better than most people who play for multiple hours a day.
So leagues 4 was your first league, you hadn't played in years, but you were confident getting infernal cape within a week? I'm smelling a little something here.
@@tomgreene5388 Yes, it was the first time I ever stepped into inferno and got it 1st attempt with minimal pvm experience, no prayer flicking, and bare minimum gear. Don't need to believe me as there is video proof as I streamed nearly the whole league. Simply saw there was an infinite free revive relic and utilized it to 1st try Inferno with around 30 deaths during the run, about 25 of which were deliberate for DPS and heals. A lot of my plan was based heavily on that relic, such as running 700 level invocation ToAs within a few runs having never step foot in the raid prior to leagues. The relic was announced weeks before leagues even released having plenty of time to plan around it with the only unknown being the frequency at which it would occur, which ended up being a very broken once every 3 minutes.
Brother I made an Ironman and doing all the f2p content and loving it only a couple of hrs in as i need something to help with last 30 levels to max my main
I'd say the GW2 wiki is as good, if not as Useful, as the RS Wiki. The game just has less "What the fuck is going on" so you need it less, but it is incredibly robust.
Bro said” a full set of rune is really cheap now” for those that don’t know rune while the best armor in free 2 play are middle to lower tier in membership worlds
Aye, ftp isn't RuneScape, there's so much behind that paywall which is thankfully affordable Just don't fall into the trap of grinding ftp for a bond and then using that bond to keep the bond going
i had to play runescape with self taught english. it was hell to quest. until a website got up that translated most of the stuff for quests. so no... wiki is not the end all be all. thats only if u can speak english. videos are WAY more usefull shoutout to slayermusiq. i just followed his videos i think even as a kid trying to do bullshit quests.
RuneHQ and TipIt were the two old Wikis
Cant forget Zybez and Sals Realm!!
sals realm and rune hq yall beat me to it

Had a full game plan from inferno cape week 1, best in slot week 2, and maxed week 3. I noticed by week 2 a lot of people seem to not really know what to do despite having more recent playtime, league experience, and ironman experience compared to me at the time. The trap a lot of people fall into is following guide after guide after guide without building up the adaptability to understand how to form their own optimal path without a guide. Woox is a great example of this as he barely plays the game these days, but whenever he does return he has the game knowledge and adaptability to tackle any new challenge better than most people who play for multiple hours a day.
So leagues 4 was your first league, you hadn't played in years, but you were confident getting infernal cape within a week? I'm smelling a little something here.
@@tomgreene5388 Yes, it was the first time I ever stepped into inferno and got it 1st attempt with minimal pvm experience, no prayer flicking, and bare minimum gear. Don't need to believe me as there is video proof as I streamed nearly the whole league. Simply saw there was an infinite free revive relic and utilized it to 1st try Inferno with around 30 deaths during the run, about 25 of which were deliberate for DPS and heals. A lot of my plan was based heavily on that relic, such as running 700 level invocation ToAs within a few runs having never step foot in the raid prior to leagues.
The relic was announced weeks before leagues even released having plenty of time to plan around it with the only unknown being the frequency at which it would occur, which ended up being a very broken once every 3 minutes.
Brother I made an Ironman and doing all the f2p content and loving it only a couple of hrs in as i need something to help with last 30 levels to max my main

I'd say the GW2 wiki is as good, if not as Useful, as the RS Wiki. The game just has less "What the fuck is going on" so you need it less, but it is incredibly robust.
I wish i was a new player lol.. i'm almost 1b xp deep on just my main.
Bro said” a full set of rune is really cheap now” for those that don’t know rune while the best armor in free 2 play are middle to lower tier in membership worlds
Aye, ftp isn't RuneScape, there's so much behind that paywall which is thankfully affordable
Just don't fall into the trap of grinding ftp for a bond and then using that bond to keep the bond going

i had to play runescape with self taught english.
it was hell to quest. until a website got up that translated most of the stuff for quests. so no... wiki is not the end all be all.
thats only if u can speak english. videos are WAY more usefull shoutout to slayermusiq. i just followed his videos i think even as a kid trying to do bullshit quests.
Uhh bot al the boring skills to 80/90 is how most people play the game
just a little bit of criticism, i couldn't get through this video because you kept pausing and it was really annoying
Agreed
Go watch the original video then. You are watching this dudes thoughts on the video of course he's gonna pause and talk like what do you expect?
The day I matured in runescape was the day I learned overhead prayers
