Review of RuneScape 3's Early Leveling: Does RuneScape's Early Game Suck?
This is going to be much longer than most of my other videos, but it is essentially the capstone of my Fixing New Player Experience Series. It reviews the leveling experience of every skill in the game and discusses how many of them desperately need to be fixed. Let me know if you agree with any of the points I bring up, or if you disagree, let me know why!

Improving Runescape's Practice Mode
Просмотров 190Месяц назад
This is a different kind of video that references other video games for ideas on how we can make RuneScape's practice mode better for the people who need it. It is extremely lacking in its current state and needs to be better moving forward. Let me know if you like seeing other games used as a reference; I really care about RuneScape and want to see it succeed, so these types of videos are impo...

Roulette Man Episode 3: Chronozon Almost Killed Me Twice...
Honestly all the early game grind is what has always put me off making an Iron Man. I'll stick to mindless 200ms lol
so im thinking f getting melee gear set or re buliding my mage set witch style should i main mage or melee?
this is why a lot of players hate necro xxdd
Quite frankly, most people aren't smart enough to articulate the issues with Necro, they're just mad that other people can do stuff that used to be really hard with Necro for less effort. Necro making combat easier has no impact on the other skills since, you know, you can use the other skills.
Coming from hc iron to now cgim since 2015, necro gear progression is an absolute godsend. And the reason why t60 necro FEELS like t80 in others is because the accuracy being neutral rather than +/- with the others dictated by the triangle. As much as i complain about the game being an absolute pain on cgim, not having wildy events is actually very refreshing and making me appreciate the game much more. Dailyscape is one of the biggest motivation killers
Wildy events are VERY overpowered for early GP and prayer. I did not realize how impossible it was to actually get prayer xp on a cgim without wilderness events lol. It feels like you need to rush decently high level combat in order to make any real headway in prayer.
Raph, you're the greatest gift to runescape. Keep up the great work! You are appreciated
Love your content. Guides have been super helpful too, appreciate your work sir!
i would love if prayer got an expansion
I talked about it briefly, basically if you have access to wilderness events, you can get to 70-75 really quickly without putting any real effort into it. It's also buyable, so if you're a main you just pay for it. It's in a unique spot for competitive gim where if you don't have access to Big Game Hunter, getting a large number of bones/ashes actually sounds pretty impossible. Big Game Hunter is a godsend for quite a few resources, but it really sucks that for competitive gim it feels like you need to get 70+ in other stats to even begin to train prayer. Nexus is nice, but you can't solo it so... It feels relatively balanced for irons/mains and HORRIBLE for competitive gims.
I love Raph so much, we are infact Biological Brothers, in fact twins. i know you guys already know this bc of our resemblance! i love you king just starting the video but cant wait to talk about it.
hello my blood brother, i hope you enjoy it
Tier 70-90 weapons are buyable the same way that many skills are buyable.
The argument of them not being buyable mostly comes from the ironman perspective. Mains can ignore any real "this isn't fun" criticism for buyables because they can just buy it. But just because you can buy your way through something doesn't mean the iron experience should be neglected. If you are a brand new player with no experience with the game, my guess is that you're more than likely to play like an iron whether you pick the game mode or not.
@raphtheboygenius das true. Lots of the game is certainly not balanced for iron progression.
@@bosstweed83 I normally wouldn't say "hey this should be balanced for ironman" but it does feel weird that so much of the game has a really poor leveling curve and they just released a new ironman game mode, so I figured it was more relevant as a consequence
Agree with most of your points but the problem is that why would Jagex invest time to fixing old skilling methods when they can just introduce new methods. Need to figure where it makes sense to fix skilling issues vs introduce new methods because each takes dev time and it seems like they are only willing to do game jams to fix these issues.
Generally, I feel like there are three different types of content. 1 is to bring people in, 2 is to give your normal audience more things to do, and 3 is to reward your already enfranchised players. Holiday events would fall in category 3, as they don't really offer anything in terms of meaningful progress or a cool new addition to the game, they're just a fun thing for your community to do. A new quest or a new boss would fall in category 2; your people who are already playing the game get a cool new thing to do. Jagex has basically completely forgone category 1 which doesn't seem like such a bad thing, but the issue is that your game doesn't really grow if you don't give new players a reason to make it to endgame. Unlike old school, RuneScape 3's midgame is pretty harsh; it's a TON of 10-hour long grinds that you don't really have a choice but to do. Not only that, the game REALLY wants you to max. As a consequence, you're going to lose most of your players because they just never make it to endgame, so you really need a constant influx of new players coming in. That's why I think they should work on bringing new people in and keeping them for as long as possible. Improving the new player experience is essentially always worth it for these games that have been around for 10+ years (Warframe did it recently and it was a massive success; as complicated as that game can be, it is the easiest it's ever been to get into and make it pretty deep into the game).
Kid genius content wake up yall
“Beginner melee gear and rotation guide” >igneous kal-Zuk “You should have this” >requires zuk kills in all styles You should totally post a vid of you killing zuk with this SAME melee setup minus the zuk cape fam >_<
You don't need the hybrid cape to access the melee zuk cape. You need a melee kiln cape which is pretty easy to get. It may have been unclear in the video, but when I said "You should have this," I meant you should have all of your uncombined Zuk capes UNLESS you are first getting into high-end combat with melee. In which case, I don't think anyone should try to kill Zuk with melee or ranged. Also, in case you didn't know (this sounds snarky, but it's a genuine tip), you don't need to Kill Zuk with all 4 styles to get a combined cape. You need to kill Zuk 4 times with ANY style and do a flawless deathless HM kill to get a combined cape. The way you get a melee cape or a magic cape is by using the igneous stone from Zuk on the kiln cape of that style. You do need to complete Fight Kiln with every style though (or, at the very least, the first 30 waves of kiln need to be done with every style, the last 6 can be your strongest style).
Your channel is super underrated. Thanks for this guide! I'm working towards my first hard mode flawless clear. I got my first kill yesterday, although it was not flawless and I died at Zuk so I use that as a chance to practice hard mode Zuk himself. Definitely subscribed and will be checking out some of your other series and guides .
nah I aint doin that lmao. Youre right its not that hard, but it looks incredibly punishing you you don't keep moving or pass the dps check
The DPS check isn't the hard part, but I will say this boss is very punishing to solo. Given that you don't get 4 piles of energy for soloing, I do not recommend doing it solo outside of you can't find a group/you like the challenge.
Your guides are the best to get a feel into every boss. The first couple of kills is all about getting the feeling, not dodging every single attack. That comes with time. Good job boss!
Hey man, since its been a month i was wondering which revolution bar i should use? I'm aiming for bossing and have been doing some small things but plan on going full throttle on Zuk starting today and would like to know what that bar was in the video with living skulls 1st and death skulls 2nd.. what should i add after? I have 102 necro, 95 pray and curses, 35k souls so both things bought, full first necro robes + weapon set, bis everything else basically except the zuk cape so I can use most of if not anything.
Threads does save a lot of time if you're popping it regularly. There are just so many good places to use it on trash here.
I'm not even remotely close
Does this still work after the changes to blood reaver?
Hi, I don't believe so, unfortunately. I haven't personally been back there, but I would be very surprised if it still worked. What I would do moving forward is to just use skulls/onslaught (which is the normal method).
@ that’s what I was thinking. I play on mobile and it’s been rough trying to get the revo to work where I still have 100% to do skulls at the right time
@@parkerraley9462 Yeah, the only thing I could recommend is turning off ultimates from being cast automatically and then manually pressing it every kill. It's more work obv, but it guarantees you don't mess up.
@ it helps, but with finger of death using up to 60% of your adrenaline it seems to mess up just enough to cost me some kills.
Can I use freedom + escape to get away from the green attack most of the time?
You have to freedom early, you can't respond to the stun with freedom, otherwise you'll die. Escape can work, but it's just a bit harder to know where you'll land compared to surge/dive so I wouldn't recommend it.
@@raphtheboygenius i'll have to give it a few tries, i might switch cinderbanes for first necro gloves and wear laceration boots for faster dive switches
@@martinteel You can freedom pretty early, if you noticed in the video, I freedomed a few autos before he actually stunned me. So whenever you're pretty sure its coming, you can use freedom then. If you mess up, as long as you're wearing ring of death, you can just tele out until you figure out the timing.
Is there a reason to keep such low HP? lol
I knew I couldn't die, so I typically don't eat when I don't have to. Only reason!
@raphtheboygenius just scares me when they can hit 5k+ at any time. 🤣 But I guess you really know the mechanics
Got me my ROTS kill for reaper crew, awesome and concise guide!
Took a few hours of trial and error but managed to get my 1st solak kill today (and 3 more for good measure!) - tysm for this guide ☺️
Reaver no longer triggers poison btw
Yeah, I would just use ripper as kalg/grimoire is way too expensive for how little money you make from this boss.
I really liked this guide and your style
If I augment my noxious scythe what perks should I run on it and when I get to max level on the weapon I want to get the invention xp but not lose the scythe how do I do that?
if you dont want to lose your weapon, you can use an equipment siphon on it; it gives you the xp from the item as if it were 2 levels lower. This just means if you want the max xp, you siphon at level 12. As for what perks, it doesn't matter too much, scythe is a great aoe weapon, so doing something like precise 6 ruthless 1 and aftershock 4 eruptive 2 is perfect. if you want easier to get options, precise 6 on one gizmo and aftershock 4 on another is perfect.
Imagine you fight someone and they say "hold on i need to build soul stacks on you" 💀
I agree with this. I have been playing Runescape for 21 years and have done a lot of combat in those years and when Necro came out,it became my favorite combat style and that made me get a genesis shard for the 2 tier 95 necro weapons and I paid almost 2b for it a few days after they where released. Sadly I have to say that it is one of the worst items I have ever spend coins on and I simply can't see or fell any difference what so ever compared with the standart tier 95 necro weapons. I have the tier 95 necro armour set as well and 200mill xp in Necro and if there is any difference between the standart tier 95 necro weapons and the sharded ones(their stats do increase)the difference is so small that I can't detect it at all. Getting the tier 95 Necro weapons and armour was such a massive increase in power,like nothing else I have seen in the game in those 21 years of play,so seeing no different in power output when making the weapons tier 100,really pissed me off. I do own all the tier 95 weapons in the game and I am NOT going to spend any more shards on any of them and I strongly recommend people using their money on other upgrades instead of the genesis shards. I have to say though,that if the Genesis shards drops to around 400-500 mills,they might be worth it if you have lots of coins and more or less any other power upgrade in the game,but they are NOT worth more than 500 mills max. So the Genesis shards is yet another massive disappointment of an upgrade coming from Jagex and the boss should drop them in normal mode as well.
Practice mode p7 zammy. Rago differnt phases. Smh jagex
10 adverts!!! 10!
My brain is not engineered tp play RS in a random way: i just gotta finish 1 thing at a time until 99 then i get bored really fast cuz of the contents in training.... Jgex needs to add more ways , new ways 🎉
I hope been maxed for so long that i didn't realise how horrible the new player experience is. Not being able to trade really highlights it as well. Minimum level/weapons needed was T60
Did the blood reaver nerf completely screw this method or am I missing something stupid?
Do you know if this has been fixed? I can hardly imagine it, but it doesn't work for me. Maybe I need to do something differently. Death Skull is very annoying because you have to manage your adrenaline precisely. Somehow, I always eat something at the wrong time or am too slow, which leads to a one-minute cooldown, and the kill takes an extremely long time.
If you have tried this since monday's update, it is entirely possible that it doesn't work anymore. I will check for you and get back to you in a few hours.
@@raphtheboygeniusany update?
Is this still viable?
Yup, nothing meaningful has changed since the release of this video other than blood reaver not working with poison anymore, so you can just a different familiar (ripper demon, most likely).
@raphtheboygenius that's what I was curious about, thanks for the info. Was thinking about grinding the pet or log soon.
Submitted my coaching form I'm available Fridays and Saturdays after 8pm central when my son goes to bed just let me know when you are free :)
Hey! just sent you a friend request on discord, reply to it at your leisure :)
Are you still coaching?
yeah! I have the coaching form in my discord still
@raphtheboygenius awesome cause I'm just getting back from a long break and now I'm lost lol I have bis for all styles now I just gotta remember how to use them and need help on my bars
I know this is late but you should check out Trent horns debate with destiny on abortion. The conversation is exceedingly more civil and actually makes you think
I actually plan on pursuing political content very seriously soon. It's something I am passionate about and will likely upload it all on another channel so I don't end up diluting my content or pushing away gaming people.
I agree. Also necro doesnt even make the other combat styles irrelevant, you need to train other styles to even upgrade necromancy. How are you gonna get your t70 upgrade without lvl 70 ranged or strength? You need to kill nex for kili knowledge. Tank path you need gwd2 requirements. Ranged ends up doing the most damage late game, and alot of the times people use necro to farm gear for ranged and meele anyways.
I didn't want to be too combative with this video, but I think the vast majority of the "Necromancy is Overpowered!" is fueled by people who are made that other people can do content that only they could do before. There are a lot of people who feel like their accomplishments are devalued because players that they feel are worse than them are able to participate in that content which is understandable, but also incredibly self-centered. It's obvious that this is true because the vast majority of the complaints are that Necro is too easy, not that the thing it's doing is broken, but that it gets to do the other stuff easier.
At this point in your game what other things does ur account have like quest points and are you using any relic powers?? For pvm
for this boss, the only quests you really need is temple at senntisten for access to curses and my relics are persistent rage, fury of the small, and conservation of energy. You don't need conservation of energy for this. Also, infernal puzzle box on your toolbelt is nice if you don't have persistent rage. That's basically it! Also having plague's end done gives you access to high level potions (mainly, elder overloads).
how often do you have the blood reaver set to use his special?
I have it set to 0 for this video.
Boy, this was hard! I'm 73 years old and have been playing RS for several years now. It's my favorite retirement activity. Anyway, this was the toughest boss I have had so far but I did defeat him using the following strategy. Remember, I am VERY slow at clicking compared to 20-year-olds that make RUclips videos, so I needed a different strategy. 1) Stay south of the barrier as much as possible. With practice, you can defeat the gate without needing to mine north. 2) Keep the barrier charged. 3) Listen for the word "children" and kill any that appear ASAP as they will recharge the gate. 4) Do your best to try to avoid getting hit by gate attacks. 5) Take as much high-level food as you can. Use a beast of burden like a spirit pack pig, pack yak or pack mammoth. The higher level the better! Try to leave 15 inventory slots for cleansed shards. it's a balancing act. 6) Mine two or three rocks south of the boarder to get the cleansed shards. When inventory is full hit the Special Action button and try to jump all four pillars then click on the gate to cleanse it. in practice, I can only do that about half the time for a 5% bonus. If I miss, I have to click on the gate once for each cleansed shard in my inventory. Good luck don't get discouraged. If I can do it, you can!
Necromancy is like their business tactic that makes people who have less patient to play more PVM related, also the splash hit removal. Glad they released it or i wouldnt come back playing this game back in Q3 2023
If youtook out the ghost necromancy i think necromancy would choke
I still say Conjure ghost deserves a nerf, thing is too OP for being one of the 4 basic conjures
Maybe all rs3 deserves a More fk nerf 😂😂😂😂
Necromancy has never been bis, the other styles still out dps Necromancy if you know what you are doing. However Necromancy does give the player a lot of value at no mechanical skill what so ever. Before we complain about Necromancy we need to look at prayer/defensive abilities. Prayer has been the most overpowered mechanic in runescape since release and all you need to do is click the corresponding protection prayer depending on what damage you take.
most broken thing about necro is the ease of access and progression in terms of unlocks. Where are the codexes, niche gear slots, addons, spec weps that all these other styles need to even come close. Means that if you're an iron you kinda just go through a backlog of bosses after camping rasial (the one boss that drops literally everything of merit for the cb style), and just fill them out without ever using them or feeling like you're climbing the gear ladder
Talk to people who used to only skill and now can solo raksha using bis necro. See how much they struggled/still struggling to do kills. I'm one of those people. I spent months learning to pvm and still a noob at it. Different brains I guess
The thing with necro I dislike alot is how it took away the value of achieving 4k telos as cheesing it with necro barly needs skill.. people that could not pvm now have a easy way of getting in pvm is fine. But number wise necro still loses to a good ranger/mager/meler
Necromancy is 100% terrible for the game so long as the other styles stay as they are. An entire year of just running Necro is getting very dull given the other three styles are awful to use in comparison.
Can't you just... use the other styles if you think Necro is dull?
