It's going to look so much more drab, though. I'm not sure I like that.

For my money, the close-in fog on normal Runescape looks a lot more drab, and annoying.

Is bexp on 07 as well as rs3?

Absolutely not. It's all the worst parts of old runescape combined with halfassed implementations of new stuff.

I've said it before but it still seems relevant. Why are they introducing brand new content to a version of the game that's supposed to be a time capsule of RS in 2007? After a while it stops being something nostalgic and becomes a separate, uglier version of the same game.

It became a separate uglier version of the game within like 2 months of launch. I really don't see the appeal, at least Runescape Classic sticks to what it was.

It's 99% bots because no-one is masochistic enough to actually play it, especially when there's perfectly good 07scape servers to get that hit of nostalgia.

I doubt there's many bots, you certainly never see a lot around when you log in.

I'm very bad at Dungeoneering. I waste a lot of time and have bad binds. Most of my XP came from sinks, but now that I'm 75 I think I need to actually run dungeons.

Can anyone offer some pro tips for soloing so I can start prepping for the double tokens weekend?

1) Train your smithing/mining. This makes it much easier to build your armor binds. I recommend going with full armor and a maul in the highest levels you can smith or find while being equipable.
2) runecrafting yourself a grip of fire and nature runes (say 15 essence spent on nature, 50 on fire) gets you the ability to easily high level alchemy good drops that you can use to spend on crafting things if you don't find enough in the dungeons.
3) Totally try to do the Daemonheim tasks, the aura is super useful even at only the first level

On average I got around 2.6m xp pr 24 hours played... #Efficiency

I average 910,138 XP per hour played, which impresses me mostly because much of my hours were spent in original runescape and rs2 before i ever got members and spent most of m time faffing about barely grinding

Isn't making changes entirely antithetical to the point of OSRS though?

Haha no, OSRS' point appears to be "make a halfassed version of modern Runescape in mostly the 2007 version's limitations". It hasn't been real old school since a couple months after it came out.

Check the wiki?

The wiki still has a list based on pre-eoc numbers, and then another based on early eoc numbers before they partially readjusted things

I started playing Old Runescape again after almost a decade, and just to make sure: your Mining level does affect how fast you get ores on average, right? I googled everywhere but couldn't find a clear answer to this. I made it all the way up to level 64 and have been mining coal in the Mining Guild, and it barely feels any faster than it did in the beginning. It sometimes takes up to ten seconds to get an ore.

You'll want to get the best pick you can as soon as you can, but that's locked behind leveling up Mining anyway.

Official Runescape servers with legacy combat, all members content is free and everybody starts at level 1.


The catch? There's open world wilderness pvp everywhere.

Sooo it's the original Runescape PVP system of early-mid 2001 with more modern combat/everything?

That aside, why is one 120 dung a sparkle and the other one a fire?

When you go into "miscellaneous options" to set this up, you choose which symbols you want used. Personally I chose stars, but I don't have any skills that meet the conditions yet..

Is leveling easier in the new RS? You all seem to have insane stats.

I've used the same account for over 14 years, you just end up having high level stats over a long enough time.


99 CENTS AMIGO posted:

That, and it definitely is easier. Gradually, most skills have just been given more alternatives for training, and in some cases methods that are good xp and very passive. The new elf city has a bunch of skill locations designed to make the 90+ crawl better.

Some stuff still sucks, though. Like runecrafting.

Yeah the sole reason I have over 90 thieving is that elf city thieving means you can do 300k plus thieving xp an hour and get about 750k coins per hour at the same time, mostly afk.
