I had forgotten all about it, but this video started bringing back all the memories. I remember doing a ton of FoG F2P as a kid when it first came out, getting the green FoG mage robes and killing people who only used melee. I also remember finding several places that I could hide while charging the stone, and making so many people upset because I rarely just rushed the middle, while most other players I fought rushed mid and died immediately.
FoG was in 2008, just a year after OSRS's save. Free magic training isn't a problem, since we already have Alching which actually profits. FoG is a great alternative that's less xp per hour, but is more fun. Remember you have to wait for a game to start and then chase people around. It's more downtime than uptime. The degradable skilling gloves aren't that bad either, because it takes a long time to acquire them. If your goal is 99 fishing, it doesn't make sense to spend hours getting gloves just for them to fall apart after an hour.
People remember Fist Of Guthix more because it was f2p and therefore is talked about more. But Stealing Creation was FAR superior. The rewards need to be reworked from the ground up, but truth be told I just played it for fun back in the day. My points would stay maxed out because I just wanted to rush back into a game before I could spend any of my points
pretty sure the "old school feel" is not only out the window but totally baked in the sun by this point. the literal only thing old school about old school rs these days is literally the name and the graphics.
I remember going out of my way to get the rune berserker shield, was so cool having one as a kid and I cherished it. Nothing cooler than a spikey shield
Right? It's already had years worth of updates that weren't there back in the day. Also OSRS started off from the 2007 backup, so not sure where he got 2006 from.
Damn man...Fist of Guthix was like the last major content I engaged in with RS2 before going on a long hiatus. Ground for hours in my limited free time at home to get the combat robes and even found a guy willing to switch off roles and we both ended up getting a ton of xp together. I was very proud of myself back then as a F2P player to have gotten that far...god the memories.
god i wish FoG would come back. this game was so fun. lol also. interesting note you left out about all of the rewards here. they were almost all degradeable. so while the rune saving effect was super strong, it wasn't anywhere near as powerful as you made it seem. They only really lasted 6 hours before you would need to get them recharged, which cost about as much as a new set costs.
Nothing broken with any of these items, especially the skilling gloves. By the time you get a skilling glove it’ll probably take you anywhere from 3 to 5 hours (estimated)
I MISS FIST OF GUTHIX SO MUCH, I stayed up all night on the days my parents went out and played this all night until they showed back up, I miss the good days
I remember people saying that the fastest way to get tokens was to let the player kill the hunted player quickly which I think was very true. Chasing the other player was very annoying sometimes especially if you were a low-level vs. high-level player.
When you have to spend 3-4 hours to get those swordfish gloves then the actual bonus xp per hour is a lot smaller than it looks like plus it’s almost impossible to boost the mini game with random matchmaking so they aren’t really that bad for the meta
Thanks for bringing me back to the past! I remember I had the berserker rune shield, the Earth gloves, and swordfish gloves. Then I create an account strictly for a fists of guthix named Folmetolmage that was a mage defence Pure. Lmao I did random builds back then 😅
A couple years ago I visited this minigame on RS3 because it was the featured minigame of the week (or month? Can't remember). I was hoping for a nostalgia trip, I loved playing it around 2008. I was disappointed to find only people farming points huddled around the middle, not engaging in combat and getting angry when I tried to hunt my target. Jagex would have to make sure this doesn't happe for an OSRS version.
When I was younger my uncle Jim used to come into my room when I was sleeping and wake me up with the fist of guthix! My parents don’t allow him around the family anymore.
If fist of guthix did come back I feel like it would benefit from expanding on typical pvp defense. Let attackers use melee/ranged, give the defender more food + brews and protection prayers. It also makes sense giving that the minigame gave coifs and gauntlets.
I loved playing this as Hunted. I can still remember my strategy. Run around the obstacles on the outskirts in max mage def till they caught me and spec’d to use the orb teleport to negate damage, then just spam click around center to keep moving. There were so many people in center so it was impossible to grab a right click. 9/10 games the hunter would leave.
I remember when I first played this way back when. I thought it'd be a great idea to stand in the center because I thought, "there's so many people stacked on top of each other, there's no way they can find my name and click on me!" but they could and they did and I rage quit and never tried it again lol
I doubt FOG would have an affect on rune economy. It'd be fun for a week but quickly turn into a dead minigame. It was only popular because the Runescape community was really big at the time and there wasn't a no-xp waste meta.
They should release a weekly rota for the PvP minis and give a secondary currency for the rota to buy cosmetics and 3t training weapons (ex. swift blade,) or small amounts of gold or trouver parchments, animations.
If it improves the game I would say that these items are fine to add. that free to play has more stuff to work towards than back in 07 isnt bad. nostalgia is gone. there are very few players that would still get into the game because of their childhood memories. if it makes the new player experience better for actual new players then why not. Adjsutments can always be made ofcourse, like the free runes and rune saving ability of the robes.
Some mistakes: Combat and Druidic robes were flipped, Battlemage robes were not f2p. Fist of guthix as f2p mage traing would only be really good between 1-55, as high alching can be profitable and will be more xp/h than using magic there. You have lots of dead time chasing, or waiting game to start or waiting to be killed.
Fist of guthix definitely should return , especially for the f2p side cause its definitely needed there.. Such a nostalgic game mode I remember playing with my friends back in the day
I remember while being the hunted and higher levels than most f2p, I would kick the opponent and they would usually rage quit. Made farming tokens a lot faster
We have so many dead minigames already, I liked FOG a lot, it was the most fun I had as a f2p back then. I don’t know if it would be played with the dame loyalty
@@hahe412 im implying that its a extremely simplified version of a battle royale, before it was a real concept. not quite one, but has the similarities. its also a joke.
I used to love this minigame man. I always wished they brought it back. But I also feel like jagex tends to let their minigames die sometimes and I would be worried that this would suffer the same fate. But generally, I always really thought this MG was solid. Fun game of cat and mouse
The dying minigames bit is certainly true for RS3, but I’m confident that the OSRS team is able to balance minigames and inject enough new rewards into them to keep them popular. Think about tithe farm’s QoL rewards that you can’t find anywhere else, or pest control’s elite void upgrade. Barbarian assault is still sought after to get essentially a bandos chestplate with lower defenses, and even castle wars was given new f2p boots with a strength bonus. (Ignore trouble brewing)
I remember when it very first came out, everyone was loving the free mage exp lol. This whis back when the economy was so good that even high alching wouldn’t yeild a profit. There was truly no free exp that wasn’t a gathering skill
I think this returning would just wind up being another soul wars where the nostalgia and hype dies off within weeks. At least the rewards in soul wars keep it relevant for irons, leagues and for cloggers/pet hunters. The rewards from this would have to be relevant for all accounts and builds for it to maintain popularity

I miss the rune zerker shield, that thing was a f2p badge of honour lmfao
Yes this and str amy (t)
I had a 40 def gravite pure with rapier and gravite 2h melting people. Good times
I remember when I achieved full rune and the rune Berk shield, I felt like such a badass
The gloves were the best
depleating it and selling it was my fav moneymaker :D
I really miss this era of RS. Such great memories
I had forgotten all about it, but this video started bringing back all the memories.
I remember doing a ton of FoG F2P as a kid when it first came out, getting the green FoG mage robes and killing people who only used melee. I also remember finding several places that I could hide while charging the stone, and making so many people upset because I rarely just rushed the middle, while most other players I fought rushed mid and died immediately.
This was one of the highlights of my childhood, hiding in FoG and getting the sick robes and berserker shield before school each morning
FoG was in 2008, just a year after OSRS's save.
Free magic training isn't a problem, since we already have Alching which actually profits.
FoG is a great alternative that's less xp per hour, but is more fun. Remember you have to wait for a game to start and then chase people around. It's more downtime than uptime.

Fist of Guthix is cool, but I would perfer stealing creation.
Stealing creation was a game changer!!!

The rewards need to be reworked from the ground up, but truth be told I just played it for fun back in the day. My points would stay maxed out because I just wanted to rush back into a game before I could spend any of my points
Bro has 0 boss kc
@@alex3rd11 FOG shits on SC
@@RsChrisG in what way?
This was hands down my favorite minigame as a kid, would be amazing if it ever made it into osrs
same here! I was so surprised when I came back to osrs that it was taken out :(
fist of guthix and stealing creations were the best
pretty sure the "old school feel" is not only out the window but totally baked in the sun by this point. the literal only thing old school about old school rs these days is literally the name and the graphics.
I'm not looking forward to seeing people sail past me while i fish for shrimp in draynor
I remember going out of my way to get the rune berserker shield, was so cool having one as a kid and I cherished it. Nothing cooler than a spikey shield
Truuuu
FoG and the chess version of Pest Control were my fav pre EOC mini games
Wow, the chess PC was so cool!
I love how you keep saying that “it may take away from the feel of the 2006 version of old school”, that feeling ended back in 2015😂
exactly what I was thinking, If people keep worrying about 'nostalgia' the game will never blossom and updates will stay boring
Right? It's already had years worth of updates that weren't there back in the day. Also OSRS started off from the 2007 backup, so not sure where he got 2006 from.
this wouldn’t work because people would add you and turn on entity hider. cant hide in the center anymore and you are easy to find.
it would only be that busy for like 2 weeks. afterward it would be dead content
Damn man...Fist of Guthix was like the last major content I engaged in with RS2 before going on a long hiatus.

it is this year. a new grandmaster quest called guthix sleeps will unlock it
The nostalgia earned you a new sub
Berserker shield, i forgot about those Core memory unlocked
Nothing broken with any of these items, especially the skilling gloves. By the time you get a skilling glove it’ll probably take you anywhere from 3 to 5 hours (estimated)
Also the Fist of Guthix cave entrance was in low level Varrock wild & created a popular multi pk hot spot
I MISS FIST OF GUTHIX SO MUCH, I stayed up all night on the days my parents went out and played this all night until they showed back up, I miss the good days
The rune berserker shield for the Clan wars back in the day
I always wanted one of those spiked shields as a kid
So many memories of trying to earn that rune berserker shield before my bus picked me up in the morning 😩

Man unlocked a core memory.
I miss thing mini game, along with Stealing Creation. Loved both of them!
When I was younger my uncle Jim used to come into my room when I was sleeping and wake me up with the fist of guthix!
My parents don’t allow him around the family anymore.
Was he "wildy pking"?
That's awesome! My uncle used to wake me up with his "wildy Stryker wyrm" 😭
My uncle would always Entangle me and then cast Water Surge

I can't believe I forgot about that shield. It was so epic I don't even know if I ever got it.
I doubt FOG would have an affect on rune economy. It'd be fun for a week but quickly turn into a dead minigame. It was only popular because the Runescape community was really big at the time and there wasn't a no-xp waste meta.

I think adding this to the game would bring a bigger feel of old RuneScape than most updates in the game have been, inferno or the whole of kourend
I used to love this mini game
ooo please do a Stealing Creation video next, that was my favorite minigame and I really hope it comes back
crazy you upload this if u know u know how much fun u had as a kid playing the minigame or doing firemaking down there for off time
Definitely possible without summoning from helping kill little as two ticks, and tick eating items. The fog robes as nice bridge mid-game even with IM
I miss this minigame. It was awesome even on f2p
“The prestige of 99 runecrafting” -> pans over to zeah rc.
If it improves the game I would say that these items are fine to add. that free to play has more stuff to work towards than back in 07 isnt bad. nostalgia is gone. there are very few players that would still get into the game because of their childhood memories. if it makes the new player experience better for actual new players then why not.

This mini-game was actually fun. Would love to see it again with some tweeks - maybe different items/exp rates.
I loved this minigame
fist of guthix was the place where i got 99 fm for the first time damn.
I used to get the shark gloves for basically no reason
I miss this mini-game so much. Great memories!
Literally none of the original rewards are an issue if you make them untradeable.
Battle mage wasnt available to f2p
Some mistakes: Combat and Druidic robes were flipped, Battlemage robes were not f2p. Fist of guthix as f2p mage traing would only be really good between 1-55, as high alching can be profitable and will be more xp/h than using magic there. You have lots of dead time chasing, or waiting game to start or waiting to be killed.
I miss FoG so much back in the day. It was the only PvP activity that i did.
So much nostalgia. I loved this minigame and only one i remember playing as f2p 12yo kid at library with friend.
Bro, this game was my shit back in middle school. The rune berserker shield was the F2P defender but it was more of an accomplishment.
i can't remember why, but i played this mini game a lot as a kid 😂😂
Fist of guthix definitely should return , especially for the f2p side cause its definitely needed there.. Such a nostalgic game mode I remember playing with my friends back in the day
I remember while being the hunted and higher levels than most f2p, I would kick the opponent and they would usually rage quit. Made farming tokens a lot faster
As a f2p only player id love these items lol
We have so many dead minigames already, I liked FOG a lot, it was the most fun I had as a f2p back then. I don’t know if it would be played with the dame loyalty
more minigame Pvp would make me happy
Ive always preferred the stress-free feel of safe pvp, its a different vibe
I keep begging for this game mode to come back. The only time i had fun with pvping. It was such a casual game mode
hope they add this to old school and keep the f2p items
my favourite minigame was fist of guthix.
If they bring it back to old-school I would get back into the game and f2p would get something cool for once
I miss FoG so much.
Fist of Guthix was the first iteration of a battle royale game.
How is that battle royale?
@@hahe412 im implying that its a extremely simplified version of a battle royale, before it was a real concept.
not quite one, but has the similarities.
its also a joke.
I used to love this minigame man. I always wished they brought it back. But I also feel like jagex tends to let their minigames die sometimes and I would be worried that this would suffer the same fate. But generally, I always really thought this MG was solid. Fun game of cat and mouse

Now we just need stealing creation
I miss being a druid
F2P needs some really big love, this is a step in the right direction
nostalgia, fuck!
Holy shit this jogged a memory from way back😮
This was my fav minigame! Loved matching up someone higher then me so I could train my magic and get the zerk shield 😂
I hope they bring back fist of guthix to osrs
Combat was the grey and Druidic was the green robes.
I remember when it very first came out, everyone was loving the free mage exp lol. This whis back when the economy was so good that even high alching wouldn’t yeild a profit. There was truly no free exp that wasn’t a gathering skill
I still have my spiked adamant sq shield from when I played fist of guthix! Miss the old days!
the good old days of 2008 use to love the shields with the spikes
I miss FOG so much, spent years as a kid playing!
This minigame reward of dragon gauntlets was what I used because I didn't want to quest for barrows gloves.
I wish rs did a weekly rotating mini game of the day. With rewards you only get points doing that specific game on that day.
Childhood memories doing this, I miss it so much
FOG was the greatest back in the day. It use to make f2p playable
I miss the gauntlets and Berserker shield. Its a shame they dont exist in f2p now
Are we all maxed or bored at this point? Let’s just add Summoning/Dungeoneering and EOC and put this game out of its fucking misery already.
Ughhhhh I thought this was coming back for a second !!!! Seeing the tittle
The best way to get free magic XP as a kid
I forgot about this. But now i get flashbacks after watching this 😂
I think this returning would just wind up being another soul wars where the nostalgia and hype dies off within weeks. At least the rewards in soul wars keep it relevant for irons, leagues and for cloggers/pet hunters. The rewards from this would have to be relevant for all accounts and builds for it to maintain popularity
back than people would get the double xp hammers for 99 con
Back in the day when I would make a new account the first thing I would do is train Magic at FoG because it was free 😂
I used to get up early and get runs in before the bus would come. Good times!
I miss walking around with that spiked shield
i legit don't remember the battle mage being f2p. Rune gauntlets for berserker shield were sick though
Use to enjoy running in finding the target on the outside and chasing them around
This was so fun back in the day
I want FoG In osrs so bad! Love this minigame back in my high school days
BRING BACK STEALING CREATION !!
I hate the argument of "it will take away from the old feeling of oldschool. They did that ages ago, just let new items come in at this point lol.
Jusr got back into OSRS is FOG still a thing please reply all info is appreciated!
Man what nostalgia.
