I think I spent 6ish hours on it and it was far from optimal AFK play. I did it with 175 QPs that included most common bosses at combat 85 or so.

I don't think there are enough goons in OSRS to warrant another thread. Not even sure there's a clan chat, but I'd be thrilled to find something to get me out of my rotation of lovely meme CCs that I read during farm runs.

It's got some good puzzles, a very good Thok segment and the final boss is a decent challenge if you're not a huge pvm freak. It's also the next big story quest, if you're into the overall RS storyline.
One of the rewards can help you with afk Archeology training by making sprite focus unable to fall below 10%/20%.

I was not a fan of the parts where you have to run around in all the unused space and dead ends of Anachronia.

OSRS Leagues 2 - Trailblazer is starting in about two weeks (launch currently planned for October 28th) and looks like it'll be pretty fun as a short-term seasonal mode.

I've pasted some of the relevant info from their news posts below, more information about the season (rule set, rewards, etc.) can be found on the official announcement blog linked here.

The info for the league has been revised a few times since the initial announcement and newer info can also be found here and here.

The OSRS wiki team has started assembling info here, and there's a non-goon discord channel with questions being answered by Jagex mods and a ton of community created path planning and theorycrafting resources.

OSRS News Blog posted:

In this approximately two-month League you will start off as a fresh account on a separate game mode locked in Misthalin, where it all originally began.
You must complete tasks to unlock more areas, but choose wisely - you can only pick so many options! As with the last League, the more tasks you complete, the more points you get and the more Relics you can unlock.

Everyone will start with access to two regions, and you'll be able to unlock three more as you progress giving you possible access to five out of the nine total areas.

You�ll start in Misthalin, as would any normal new adventurer� except, of course, this time there are some big differences.

Karamja will be unlocked by completing a tutorial. Beyond this, as you progress you'll have the option of heading to either Asgarnia, Kandarin, Morytania, The Desert, The Fremennik Provinces, Tirannwn or The Wilderness. But choose your regions carefully as you won't be able to change your mind afterwards!

You can unlock more areas by completing a fixed number of tasks (instead of League Points)

Your choice of area will be limited, so choose wisely

Kourend and Kebos cannot be unlocked

Only the existing respawn points for areas you've unlocked will be available

Death�s Office, the Player Owned House, Random Events and the Essence Mines will be accessible from all areas

Tasks assigned by Slayer Masters will take place in areas available to you

Be warned - should you manage to somehow escape the area you're locked in, you'll quickly be teleported back!

Ironman/Ironwoman Mode with Accelerated XP Rates

Everyone will play as an Ironman or Ironwoman.

There will be no trading between players

To accommodate the increased number of Iron players, selected shops will have more supplies and accelerated restocking rates

Everyone will have a 5X accelerated XP rate

Tier 1 Relics (choice of one)

Relics provide buffs with which you can customise your gameplay experience. Unlocked via League Points, Relics can offer XP boosts, buffs to combat prowess, additional luck on obtaining drops or even specific skilling buffs.
When you begin you'll be presented with three free Relics to choose from, allowing you to shape your strategy from the off.
Don't stop there, though, as the more Relics you unlock, the more powerful the buffs become! For the first time, in this League each time you unlock a Relic tier you will also unlock a passive buff. There will be six tiers in total.

Relic 1: Endless Harvest
Resources gathered from Fishing, Woodcutting and Mining will be multiplied by 2. The resources you gather are sent directly to your Bank if you have space. If not, they will be placed in your Inventory.

Relic 2: Production Master
When doing the following activities, all items will be processed at once, awarding full XP:
1) Smelting ores, smithing bars and making cannonballs
2) Fletching logs and cutting bolt tips
3) Cleaning herbs and making potions
4) Cooking food and making jugs of wine
5) Crafting leather, uncut gems, glass, jewelry, pottery, battlestaves and spinning flax/wool.

Relic 3: Skilling Prodigy
All non-combat skills will permanently be boosted by 12. When skills are boosted beyond 12 levels, the boosts will over time drain back to the standard +12 boost. By the same token, when skills are drained down, they will eventually restore.

Passive Unlock:
With each new relic unlocked, a passive relic will also take effect:

Tier 1: Your Run Energy will never drain while running

Tier 2: Your League XP multiplier will increase from 5x to 8x

Tier 3: Your drop rate modifier will increase from 1x to 2x

Tier 4: Your League XP multiplier will increase from 8x to 12x

Tier 5: Your drop rate modifier will increasefrom 2x to 3x

Tier 6: Your League XP multiplier will increase from 12x to 16x

Yeah, they started tracking creation I think when they started doing p2p stuff.

It was Jaz20. I changed it some moons ago, I think at the launch of RS3? Maybe. I was one of the first 10 player moderators on the forums back when they were released. I actually asked Andrew Gower himself as I knew an acquaintance of his. I said it in jest, I think a week later I got the invitation to apply. :cheers:

I did that for about a month, it was a lot of work. I lost interest pretty quickly with it. I was an Admin on RuneScapeHall forums (started by Rithiur, one of the first 2,000 players to even register) which were relatively big. Not quite tip.it, but it was a great community.

Got fond memories of that time period, really. Made some friends for life.

The RuneScape that's on Steam is filled with MTX but still pretty OK in Ironman mode.

OldSchool RuneScape (with the Runelite launcher) isn't listed on Steam yet but seems to get more regular updates nowadays and is more worth a try imo.

Join the discord either way.

Rs3 is chill and fun. You don't really gain much benefit from mtx and don't need to do it if you don't want to.

Runescape is fun. Playing F2P probably has too many limitations for returning players, but for a new player it's worth a try. The quests are a high point. Combat and skilling will probably require some hand-holding, so the advice to join discord is very good. If you enjoy playing the marketplace, you can eventually merch your way to free membership (Bonds are bought from Jagex, the player that bought it sells it for your ingame gold, and then you convert the bond to membership).

OldSchool (OSRS) is a spinoff game based on keeping the graphics of a Java-based browser game from 2007 (literally). It was spunoff when a large amount of players complained, and for some reason those players want to see the main game do poorly. Enough to poo poo on the game while it launches on a new platform, potentially bringing in thousands of new players to both games. Bizarre stuff.

GODDAMN FOOL: Aug 23, 2005; DO NOT READ >>>

I picked up RS today for the first time since 2004 probably, after it hit Steam. Now, I'm gonna preface this by saying I am truly an idiot, but I can't seem to get the minimap to appear. Hitting M also does nothing. As goofy a concept it is, am I supposed to unlock the minimap at some point? Or did my game flat-out break

edit: I even have the 'Go somewhere using the minimap' achievement path selected and it's just flat-out not there

edit2: Jagex had me change my default UI to something else and back again - seems my UI was stuck between two defaults for some reason.
