  • Hey guys! The old ranging guild used to be crazy. It was filled with botters and lurers at various periods in Runescape History. This resulted in the Death of many noobs and bots.

    Dude, the rune arrow rewards are actually good. Me and my cousins Jimbob and Skeeter always come here to farm tickets.

    The armour salesman is actually quite unique. He sells some low level ranged gear, all of which are required for certain clue scroll steps and they cannot be found in any other shop all over osrs. Out of memory this is about 6pieces of the ones he sells. This can be useful for ironmen in general but especially ultimates so they don't have to craft the gear. Furthermore, he wears a 2h bow in one hand alongside his shield!

    I feel like it's important to remember that shops actually used to serve a purpose when the GE didn't exist so prices were higher from players, and you had to stand for ages trying to buy stuff in W2 Fally.

    A bank chest would do a lot for this place. Tanning close to a bank and the fact you can do bank skills. It would at least see SOME use without affecting any meta.
    This is one guild that could definitely do with an overhaul. Most guilds could have higher content for being higher quest point/relevant skill to that guild. Perhaps tickets could be spent on imbuing d-hide armour, which is untradeable and has slightly higher armour bonuses and a small range strength bonus for wearing the set. This wouldn't be meta changing, but would help restricted content players, and Ironmen who don't want to PvM for better gear.

    I have fond memories of having my 99 Range party way back in 2009. It was my first 99, and wanted to see how fast I could kill the archers on top. My shoddy internet disconnected me on the highest level end. Luckily one of my friends had a good prayer and blessed my grave and got my Karil's back.

  • @WhoThisMonkey
    @WhoThisMonkey Před rokem +1

    I made millions luring people into those arrows, _millions_ I had my bank filled with all the Misc rares, whips, barrows sets, it funded my crystal bows and crystal shields.
    People were botting and getting banned, I was luring 30+ players a day a on my main and never got banned once.
    The only reason I stopped, is because I had the funding to start a luring clan, where I became one of the richest players of the time, yet never posted a single video about it.
    In the end, my account was hacked and I lost roughly 70% of my wealth, the other 30% is still on RS3, I considered converting it to OSRS, but I was enjoying the legit grind from scratch and never bothered.
    It's so easy to make GP in osrs now, my RS3 wealth appears to be a joke.
    I do regret not using the gp to buy phats though, because I lost all my rares when my original account got hacked.
    Edit to add, you didnt explain the lure correctly, if you stand up there for long enough, the archers would stop attacking you, so you could trade a player and drag them out to the high level archers, or just stand there and wait for them to trade you for the 'free Santa' your alt account said you were giving to them downstairs.

    @austinsawicki9780 Před rokem +3

    I made tens of millions of Ranging Guild lures back in 06-08, and the most common lure you'd find is actually the archer lure. There are four platforms, but only the West archers have the ability to hit 16s, but you typically wouldn't gather anybody from outside the guild. While this was possible, due to Seers Village being a popular trading hub, you'd actually wait upstairs/downstairs until the archers stopped being aggressive. Their aggression radius extended to almost the entire guild, including downstairs, and it would allow you to move freely.
    This is where the lure comes in. Back then, the archery minigame was almost all populated with pures, because it was a way to train ranged without gaining HP levels. You'd find players level 20-30 completely decked out in Robin Hoods, Furies, and they'd have a large cash stack on them so they wouldn't have to leave. You'd tell them that you'd buy their gear for an absurdly high price (while this seems silly nowadays, it worked back then because we were all young and naive), and then tell them you'd be training upstairs in the tower. They would see that you aren't being hit by the archers, and then they'd trade you, and it often would just one shot them. If they managed to run, they almost always had auto retaliate on so they'd come back and get hit again, and die.
    This was the primary method, but there were also methods where you'd push people with the security stronghold book trick, but usually this did the trick. If they had higher defence, since you'd offer to buy their armour, they took it off to trade you. It worked a staggering amount of the time.
    When they created gravestones, it got significantly harder to lure, but I still got some successful ones, by adding them, convincing them it was a mistake and telling them to meet me somewhere remote with their items for example. The Ranging Guild was an absolute lawless land back in the day, and I'm glad you made a video on it. I just wanted to shed some light on the lure you hinted at toward the end, since I was one of the most prominent lurers at the time doing it, and it was more common than the bot luring for most of its life.

    But yeah osrs is lame it's gonna die and I hope it does soon and rs3 jagex is a terrible company and they don't know how to make enjoyable content everything feels as if it was made for 2 year Olds and the elitism in the game is sad knowing there's that many virgin lords that scream like they are psychotic on stream over pixels
    I have a 200m ish bank in osrs and get ROASTED for it everyone calls you a credit card warrior (flipping even with the tax doing it consistently while actually playing the game its not hard to make money)
    In the end chalk that up to more elitism when usually it's the people who talk like that are the ones that actually use their credit cards lol I never spent a cent on this game one single time I used bonds from start to finish only 109 combat lvl.
    So yeah I quit this game sucks
