    I used to do that knife bug with my john back in the day we used to make so much money from it we also had autorune let us walk through walls to get to areas quicker it would let us walk on water through walls fences everything... I know running wasnt a thing back then but my friend john had a bug/glitch that would let him run or at least walk much quicker then others he actually got put in the black hole and both of our rs3 mains have the disc of returning and a couple other rs classic items let me know if u wanna use any of my clips or screenshots I actually have one of him getting sent to the black hole for a auto kill bug

    You should do some 2006-2008 era videos, I know a lot of people talk highly about those days of RS and that's personally when I started too, or maybe just pre-eoc vids in general.

    Nice memories.
    Along with whining, there was another way to get ANY melee experience without hp. It was being done with sleeping bag and 99% fatigue. When account reached to 99% fatigue, you had to kill a npc and gained ONLY str def att experience without or very low amount HP due to the fact, that account hit 100% fatigue. There were numerous people used this trick to build crazy stakers/pkers, yet it took thousands of hours to actually get decent amount of experience. I think I have to clarify the fact, that you gained experience ONLY after killing monster, not with each hit, which means, that some higher level monster gave 2% fatigue for killing it, you were able to gain only 1% worth of experience and HP was secondary.
    Talking about bug abuse, one of the bugs, which is not very well know, still used to gain massive profits, was item deposit staking glitch. It had 2 different forms, first one, you could open bank interface in ANY place of RS with push of a button(and quite simple code). So when you started a stake, offered items and clicked accept, just with push of button, you opened bank and deposited those items and went to stake with no risk what so ever. This one was patched fast, but they could not fix the glitch of doing this same trick in bank. Many people gained loads of wealth abusing this.
    One of the cool scams was using needle to add 1 to your cash offer middle of trade. Needle use to be very light color, same as inventory. So when you added 2000000 gp and a needle after that, it kind of stacked and looked like 20000001 gp. This was used to gain cheap rares, needle color was changed to darker later on and second trade screen added.
    The birth of low level guthix mages. At first, there was a guy, who trained his defence to 40-50 with 77-80 magic. He was really low level, as you can imagine. He was first to run around in world of runescape and stake rares/valuable items with 50 combat higher mains. Mage ignored defence and hit constantly high. He did make bank, legal way.
    EDIT, I forgot the most funniest of them all: Runescape blocks your password, mine is *********. Haha.
    There are still so many things I could type, but I really have to go for now.
    Thanks for nice vids.

      the coin dupe glitch is likely related to the fact that 2^16 is the upper limit for an unsigned short in java (potentially integers in older versions?) / 2^2^2^2 (4bits) and is roughly 65k

    • @nicefonts
      @nicefonts 6 лет назад +1

      AutoRune by Kaitneiks ended up becoming SCAR which stood for Shitter than auto rune (the color botting community) which was later taken over by freddy1990. Development and scripting then went onto srl-forums/villavu.com which became Simba. You can find the history over on villavu if you are interested :) we are the oldest scripting forum for Runescape.

    Omg this is a trip down memory lane for me. I don’t play RuneScape anymore, but I always had an interest in WoW but my parents balked at paying $15 a month for a game sub. So I got saddled with cheap man’s WoW: RuneScape. The grind was real. My whole grade 6 into high school was dedicated to RuneScape LOL

  • @kingcz-ru6ce
    @kingcz-ru6ce 4 года назад

    a really cool glitch back in classic was fatigue training. You would get 99.5% fatigue from woodcutting or crafting etc, then kill a monster and you would get no hitpoint xp. You could tweak accounts stats like this by having a few less hitpoints and a few more strength making ur staking account far superior

    That was my Runite miner I ran it for about 8 months strait for a few tests, I also ran a Lavamaze bot for around 6 Months. I got over 120k Bars and Ores. I have over 7K screenshots from my time botting in 2017-2018. I fully maxed my main and got to the point where I was running 8 different bots at a time on RSC before the shutdown. I eventually lost membership to many bots but I finished off @ the watchtower dragons and then a week before the server shutdown I manually shut all my bots down. I always will love RSC.
    I Since started botting on Diablo 2 running three bots and enjoying it. I love to see the results the bot can get and testing out different scripts. It's a lot of fun for me.

    @PrestonGraff 6 лет назад

    Another thing, is around 5:30 when that guy is setting up a cannon, the cannon came out after the black hole was removed from the game, so that wasn't the black hole being actually recorded. What it probably was, is back in the day when you'd go to a free world when you're normally in a members area, it would look like that. Then again I don't think you can setup cannons in a free world, so it coulda been something else.

    • @Crumb

      That was studies728, at RuneFest Andrew Gower put him in the blackhole

  • @leighharvey2837
    @leighharvey2837 6 лет назад

    Hi, I did play back then and I believe it was just range/magic, no physical because they could retaliate. I also remember most of these bugs and caused a few changes in RS classic as well. Good times.

  • @TexasGreed
    @TexasGreed 6 лет назад

    I know of a bug that came out with the construction skill that allows you to kill players outside of wild and get their items through a complex glitch that maybe only around 20-30 people in the world ever saw including the people that were its victims. Its not the Fally massacre glitch, its way more complex and involves the "spinning plate" a low lvl with high agility, a high level mage the veng (its a tick manipulation glitch). Its so unheard of that I wouldn't be surprised if it still works in oldschool. Every few years I look it up online to see if people know about it but I never see it. PM me if you want to hear about it. I used to be a major scammer and we used this glitch to take multiple party hats and other rares.

    10 knives equipped hahaha the good old days. I played in 2001-2004. I wish I had known about this glitch back then. I remember the black hole and disk of returning. If someone had told me to drop it because you get something cool, I would have. I was so gullible back then. Probably still am.

    The glitch only allowed low level players to cast spells on high level players. There was teams of low levels running around with fire strike killing people.

  • @MrCarrot14
    @MrCarrot14 6 лет назад

    So after this video I can kinda see why Jagex is so against third-party clients even when the clients seem harmless. Autorune had such a big effect on bug abuse and I guess it scared them enough to make a rule about it.

    • @Crumb
      @Crumb  6 лет назад

      Yeah, the big thing with AutoRune is how it abused the game. Everything is done via packets - sending what your player is doing over the internet - but AutoRune could fake those packets. Later they encrypted them, and that solved the problem

    That number is specifically 65535. It was the max stack (2^16-1) in 16-bit like 2147m (2^32-1) is the max now.

    • @Crumb
      @Crumb  6 лет назад

      Cool beans, so they changed it some point early on from a 16bit signed int to a 32bit signed int, that explains the 65k, I wonder what the bug was now!

  • @nicholasleach2019

    • @nicholasleach2019
      @nicholasleach2019 6 лет назад

      JorisTriesGames from what I remember it was something like that. Was a little while after PvP in wilderness had been popular, and when a player was killed something happened. I have some friends I'm gonna talk to later and see if they remember exactly what happened

    • @JayM81
      @JayM81 6 лет назад

      Sorry its taken to long.
      I dont have photos or anything but i was one of the lucky ones.
      1 of my mates (i forgot who it was) Told me about this bug with the waterfall quest.
      Basically how it worked was you completed the quest then started again. You went to get the necklace and the pebble and went back to the quest end and you could complete it again so you could do the quest over and over again. I started doing it and i was 75 att 78 str 50 def and only 40-50hp. I stopped at round those levels because i was so worried about my hp level being so low. Lucky for me i wasnt banned but my friend was. There was about 1000 players banned and they named every single one of them on the official website.
      Just imagine if this bug was still there today.
