I think I found a candidate for most useless item - Broken Pole. It's only use is as a hint on the Mountain Daughter quest. Which means that even though it's technically a quest item, it is not meant to be used in the quest.
I absolutely love this type of content! Magnet isn't useless. a magnet is actually used in three quests - Witch's house, fremmy trials and recruitment drive.
The magnets in both Trials and Recruitment Drive are two separate items that are both useless distractions, while the magnet in Witch's House is a separate third item needed to progress.
I can't bring myself to sell them for something cheaper with lower stats. I have full Masori (f) with Zaryte vambraces, and if I was wearing blessed d'hide, my OCD would be like "your BIS setup is missing something. You're wearing cheap gear" So a one-time purchase to take away that nagging voice in my head is definitely worth it 😂
@Mr_Spaghetti I'm not a guy, but I also didn't know that was actually a thing. I play RuneScape a lot but I don't always interact with the community, so I'm not aware of the memes. I only found out about "Angler Gloves" last night, even though I've been playing the game for 20 years.
I think the Golden Hammer, Golden Tinderbox, Golden pot, and the 3 other golden items from Priest in Peril deserve a mention. They serve no purpose, aren't tradable, can't be used like the normal version, aren't relevant to the quest they are obtained during, aren't acknowledged during the quest, and can't be re-obtained after the quest is over. At best, they're an interesting easter egg.
When i saw a guy buying burnt food at ge after i finished my cooking run i felt like a bazillionare. I was going to just drop it but i made a good 50k from nothing. Now i gather burnt food and crushed gems for next time i run into one of these collectors. Thanks for shouting out the burnt discord, ill actually know the value of these burnt things without havjng to trust the buyer to not low ball me. Subbed
Absolutely love this type of content as well Ever since Mote Plox and A Friend's misc vids, defo been kind of an unoccupied niche Subbed, keep similar stuff coming. Would love to seem something on examine texts maybe
woah I didn't expect your first vid to be this good , unique idea, editing is dope, good talking skillls. just the thumbnail sucks no offence deffo earned my sub
I have no idea why but when you said "an alcoholic's worst nightmare" my mind immediately thought "an alch-o-holics worst nightmare" and was thinking it was an item thats terrible for alching
I only just figured this out not too long ago, but with the rats in dave's basement there are 4 different type of large rats that drop the specific color you want when you defeat it. They're behind the curtains in the room and it's a cut scene fight where you can feed your cat while it's fighting the rat.
After the Evil Dave subquest you can fight the big rats that always give a 4-dose shaker of a specific color of spice. If the skill you need to boost is over like 60 it's usually faster to get the spice.
The flier has a use. It is one of the items that an NPC can ask for on a big list of items for a quest. I forget which one, but I remember grinding for it because it isn't tradeable on the GE.
The extremely low bonus of Pegasian boots is fairly common for items at it's level. There are like, at least a dozen items around that level cap that are barely 2% of an upgrade for 100 times the cost.
The spice drops aren't RNG, you can kill hell rat behemoths in the basement for 4 dose spices of whatever you want. The problem is that the boosts increase or lower your stats randomly, so you can just as easily get -5 as you can get +5 and for some skills that don't have good boosts, its useful.
I mean, kind of - it’s more so should be categorized as - junk: always intended as junk; boot - One/few time use: Liquor bottles - Forgettable: Smithing items that never end up getting used (2h swords/battle axes) - Essentially Useless/Flex items: Peg boots and 3rd age Or something like that
Spices grant 1-5 levels, not 1-4, and if you're trying to make something above 85 in a skill (such as crafting) it's definitely not faster to level the skill 5 times than it is to get one spicy stew boost.
@@MusicalRadiation Irrelevant. It takes at most ~8 stews to get a +5 boost to a skill. I don't have to tell you how much time you can save with using a stew boost to get a +5 with a stew and a +3 with a crystal saw to boost to something like a luxury jewelry box or an occult altar. The amount of time saved is colossal. Leveling 5 times in a skill might not mean much when you're maybe like 65 to 75, but once you get to ~80 skills are incredibly time consuming to level.
5:28 so many items like pegs but pegs are a great example. I have a friend who started playing again and he buys the most useless garbage because its "BIS". He's getting better but still has pegs and no b ring (i) which is almost a free two melee max hits. I have pegasians for extremely niche bosses and consider having them take a walk often.
Hi, editor here! Thank you! It took me about 2 days to edit but definitely could’ve done it in one if I locked in. And yes we have another channel, I’ve been editing for a little over a year now :D
(hint for those curious: it's a ruined version of a very useful item, you can hypothetically farm the item but it'd be a pain, and it isn't the broken pole, which I just learned about reading the other comments)
I'm more likely to call them a waste of 32M. Blessed d'hide boots and even devout or echo boots are way better and also all cheaper. They need a range str bonus before you can actually justify spending 32M on them, rather than on something else.
@@currentcommerce4774 LOL no it isn't, blessed d'hide boots still way better. You're paying 32M for + 5 ranged accuracy and -1 prayer from blessed d'hide. There are far better upgrades that you can get for that price. I have BiS ranged for every slot, including a Tbow and in spite of the fact that I could easily afford pegasians I still refuse to buy them. That is how insignificant they are as an "upgrade".
so.. what's wrong with RS3? once you get away from "muh nostalgia". And I guess the microtransactions. (yes I have nostalgia for OSRS too back when it was just regular RS.)
so pegasian boots have some use if you have the cash/lvls think of them as bronzes and iron armor, spice shaker is usefull do to the only way to get it is to use or combined the spices. also it go up to a + 5. note its really usefull to get a +8 to con for the pool. 90 con vs 82 or 84 for with the tea. everyone have there corks so all collectible i would add as usefull do to it make them happy. so the rare black lobster usefull.
Holy shit dude!! 20k views on your first vid? Have you done this before on a diff channel? That's impressive to someone who is baffled by the magic of youtube
if wine bottles and ceramic remains have npc interactions they are not less useless then an item that doesnt have any, if something serves no purpose and no value, then its useless, having interactions is literally 100% more usefull then something that have zero, past examine options of course, all items have that afaik

Most useless item in OSRS gotta be my BGS since it never hits when I spec
relatable asf why tf its so consistent on hitting 0-4 dmg
You’ve got to buy and sell them on GE until you find one that hits good

@@TheGudeGamer isnt it bit cheeky say those are different items, magnet is magnet even if it have different item id its still magnet 😅
I would like to point out that there is also a literal "red herring" in Trials which is awesome.
@@CinderTheFox which is needed to complete the quest! love the jokes like that in the older quests
For empty spice shaker... You can argue that you can use it to redistribute doses so it has *some* use lol
Pegasian boots is a fashion, therefore not useless.
I also liked to peg Asians.
We call them Jordans

This might be one of the most successful first videos on a new OSRS youtube account, great work and congrats!
I have a "funny items" tab in my bank filled with these bad boys. Some of them are rarely kept so they make for decently unique fashionscape
Great content also, good job on the thumbnail it really caught my eye and seems unusual for OSRS videos, so good on you for originality. Subscribed
I can tell you put a lot of effort into this vid brother it’s good work
Thank you! I really appreciate that
I love the research you put into this. Excited to see your upcoming videos!
Actually super impressed. I had to double check when I realised that this is your first video
Absolutely love this type of content as well
Ever since Mote Plox and A Friend's misc vids, defo been kind of an unoccupied niche
Subbed, keep similar stuff coming. Would love to seem something on examine texts maybe
Nice vid lol I already knew about burnt food collectors but the other items were pretty interesting to see
Great vid, dropped a sub! Sad you didn't mention 'Potion' tho - but after looking it up, it actually can be needed for the drunken dwarf quest
41k views on your first video. Not Bad. Looking forward to more!
Okay wow I did not realize this was your first video. Subbed. Interesting content. Nice narration. good job my friend.
Content this good on a channels very first video?!? Definitely worthy of a sub! Excited for future content!
Dang this was a great video. Never woulda thought it was your first until you mentioned it
This is really good dude. 10/10 would tune in again!
how is this only ur first video?? lmao it was so good bro keep em coming!
It's my first video on this channel, not my first video ever. But will do!!
Great video! Looking forward to see what you do in the future. Subscribed. :)
Awesome, thank you!

LOL thanks for watching and subbing tho 😭
Nah the thumbnail is perfectly fine. Pegasians next to burnt lobster with a big fat useless makes you want to hear his reasoning
Here to hopefully watch you kick start your new youtube career, braver then me good luck you have put in the time with this video keep it up my man.
I have no idea why but when you said "an alcoholic's worst nightmare" my mind immediately thought "an alch-o-holics worst nightmare" and was thinking it was an item thats terrible for alching
7:30 don't you mean "believed to be unobtainable"
13:05 love the "This video is unavailable" card
Good first video, homie.
Also, you've reminded me I need to go kick Ranis Drakan's ass at the Theater, I'm gonna go do that.
this video is great i was shoked when you asked for 100 subs beacus i thought this was a way bigger channel judging by the qualety of the video
Hey, thank you so much for that!
Crazy to see that this is your first video, love the style.

Thank you!
3:42 You just made me realise I have *never* gone up the right staircase in Lumbridge castle even once in 20 years.
That's the way it should be

Very good for irons, although mostly at high levels for slow skills (crafting at 90+).
But you can't do that till post recipe for disaster (Evil Dave), which is what he was complaining about pretty sure
so the spice drops are RNG, there's just a second method to avoid that
maybe one about useless mechanics? for example every time you log in, your character is facing south and ive always wondered if it had any use
Good video. I get the point with pegs since it’s just a bit of accuracy, but placing it literally right after an empty salt shaker is ridiculous
4:44 spices dont boost 1-4, they boost between 1-5
Oh no! Disinfo on my first video
@@WildernessWatchOSRS It's understandable, you never get the 5 boost when you actually need it.
Even moreso, it's technically -1 to +1, -3 to +3, and -5 to +5 depending on the amount of spice
I mean, kind of - it’s more so should be categorized as
- junk: always intended as junk; boot
- One/few time use: Liquor bottles
- Forgettable: Smithing items that never end up getting used (2h swords/battle axes)
- Essentially Useless/Flex items: Peg boots and 3rd age
Or something like that
Sure, I'll give a like and sub. Great video, excited for video number 2, keep grinding
I always kept all my burnt food to sell to someone buying burnt food at the GE.
There's always one!
Old boot has some story to tell, you have been unlucky, so I would not count that item.
"you probably go up the right staircase at lumbridge" .....thats such a harsh burn dude....
Spices grant 1-5 levels, not 1-4, and if you're trying to make something above 85 in a skill (such as crafting) it's definitely not faster to level the skill 5 times than it is to get one spicy stew boost.

I wouldn’t consider empty containers useless even if u cant refill them. They’re use is immersion and realism.

A+ audio balancing, it's immediately noticeable.
The same puzzle that has that magnet has a literal red herring. Said red herring is more useful than the magnet!
Sure I’ll sub. Looking forward to the next one!
Keep up the great work loved the vid man.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've spent over a billion GP on buckets of rubble glad to see they made the list
I sold all my burnt food for 500K to some random guy at the GE.
Crazy that there are so many people collecting this junk.
I'm glad that i'm not crazy for telling my ironman colleagues that going for ranger boots are cope.

There is a limited amount of burnt food an account can make, since after a certain cooking level, you can stop burning some foods
You can purposely burn food by cooking it again
@@blackghostcat not all of them. But you can use the chill debuff to burn
