My Most HATED skill is... a quest? | Unguided #42
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Welcome to Unguided, where I'm trying to complete every quest in old school runescape without using a guide, wiki or plugins. I'll only be using my limited knowledge and in-game learnings. Full rules below.
Watch the full Unguided series here: • Unguided
RULES
No use of OSRS wiki (or any equivalent) for anything - this includes looking up item spawns, quest guides, boss guides, anything
No use of any other quest helper sites
No use of quest helper plugin
Essentially no use of any outside-game assistance
CAVEATS
I love OSRS RUclips, I might inadvertently learn something I don't know by watching my favourite content creators, but I'm not going to stop watching them so that's just a risk I'm willing to take + it's unlikely going to be relevant for me
I may use some QoL plugins, but only a few. Loot tracker to prove grinds, ground items so I don't miss drops (and to add cool loot beams lol) and left click to use bones. Nothing that will give me info I didn't previously have
I'm going to try and avoid any spoiler comments. If you can, please try not to help me if there's an episode where I'm stuck on something. I appreciate the sentiment but telling me an item spawn or quest step could spoil the fun :)

34:04 "You use the dormant object that lies between your ears, that's how."
I fricking love the dialog in the garden of tranquility. It is I think my favorte quest in the whole game.
never understood the hate. it's funny, and "oh no I have to wait for everything to grow", I just went and did another easy quest or two and swung back around once I was back in varrock
Same, it had hilarious and sometimes pretty clever twists (like fishing the ring from the well)
@@hannibal-rb3goPeople are full blood ADHD nowadays so any waiting or doing something else than clicking rapidly on two rocks is unbearable.
I actually know what happened with that Maple > Oak tree thing. So the server doesn't send the client individual information (called varbits) about every farming patch in the world. Instead there is a small set of varbits that are re-used, and only tell the client about the farming patches in the region you're currently in. In the base game this is mostly fine, as view distance is limited, but with view extension methods like the GPU plugin you can see beyond your current region.
So, what happened is when you TP'd to camelot, the server told the client "hey varbit 4771's value is 31", which corresponds to the harvestable tomatoes in the Catherby north allotment, and the client held onto this value when you TP'd back to Burthorpe and were approaching Taverley. That value of 31 on varbit 4771 *also* corresponds to a growing maple tree in the Taverley tree patch, so the client rendered that until you crossed a loading line that prompted the server to send the correct value for the oak tree (value 12).
That’s genuinely so interesting!! Absolutely no idea it worked like that. Thanks so much for the comment
Oh that's why I often see dead or still growing trees from the distance that are actually fully grown. I knew not to care about what a distant patch looks like but never exactly why. Thanks
You also see that kind of issue in Mahogany Homes, and Iʼd bet itʼs also true with the statues being stolen here.
@@Hannah_GBS I figured it was some kind of roll over of a previous value, but I didn't know it was that detailed. Thank you!
I would hazard a guess this is why I occasionally see herbs snap from freshly-planted to fully-grown a frame before I teleport to my next herb patch - the game has loaded the data for the fully-grown herbs at the new location slightly before it de-renders the old location.
I also suspect this same system is being used for the Mahogany Homes furniture data - there are two houses in SE Falador that are close enough where if you start fixing items in one house, you can see similar items being updated in the other house even though nobody is working on them. There would just be one variable for all houses e.g. "range is repaired: true/false"
The ring of Charos received a ton of utility when it first came out, but then Jagex very quickly stopped adding new functionality to the ring and it's completely forgotten content at this point. I find it unfortunate, I loved using the ring everywhere as a kid, gaining freebies and discounts, but I eventually realised none of the new content had any options to use the ring and I stopped carrying it with me
The best Ring of Charos usage never made it to OSRS. In RS3 you can use it to buy skillcapes for half price.
That's right, 92k instead of 99k.
@@bool. That's so funny, it needs to come to osrs!
@@bool. I could've sworn that was a thing in OSRS too.
Best use is on Gertrude.
Good news buddy it got a new function in varlamore only recently
I loves this quest back as a kid, the fact you actually changed the world while moving those statues was amazing to me. And used that ring of Charos for soooo long. Being able to go to Karamja for free was the best thing in the world in my mind.
Not only Karamja, but Ardougne and Rimmington as well. Just gotta hitch a ride through Captain Barnaby instead of the Port Sarim boys
Ring of Charos was my favorite item back in the day, it was the first thing that made rs2 feel less like a "click mob kill thing" kinda game, I loved all the little interactions it had all over the map
This series is by far one of my favorite things on youtube rn, keep it up!
It's interesting how polarized people can be about Farming. The same reasons you said you hate Farming are many of the reasons I really enjoy it.
Doing Farm runs for me is kinda zen; it's not as AFK as something like Fishing, so I still feel engaged and focused on something, but I also don't need to really use my brain, while still feeling like I'm being productive. It's monotonous, but for me it's the comfortable, relaxing kind of monotony rather than the tedious kind.
Runescape is massive, and it's easy to get a bit overwhelmed with the sheer volume of things you could/should be doing, so it's nice having a simple, easy, regular routine to give a bit of reliable structure to everything.
For me I have had opposite feelings about Farming on my main vs my ironman. My main I could create a routine and be optimal about it. I never loved how time-gated it is but on a main it's relatively low time investment and high exp with tree runs, just spread out over time. On my ironman I despise Farming because good seeds are always a struggle, you have to put fruit/veges in baskets yourself for protection, and there is never a routine. It's always grind time, because herblore is torture to level on an Ironman.
I'm still enjoying my Ironman but if any skills get me to stop playing it's gonna be Farming or Herblore.
Honestly, I despised it. Then, I learned to actively train it in every possible way and grew to adore it, especially once you’ve unlocked all the teleports and got a nice routine going. It was my 2nd 99, and the cape is so damn useful. Now I’m 99, I actually kind of miss it. I think I’ll definitely spread it out on my iron man a bit more.
@@KeytarArgonian I had a 4 patch route i took using mainly free tp's and just did fishing while waiting for doing the next run.
Couldn't agree more. Was kinda sad when I got 99 farming on the main
Hating Farming on an ironman is gonna be rough lmaooo
Up until quest cape it's not too bad
@@Lichtkrieger13it’s never bad, farming best skill
It's never been better to hate farming on an iron at least, since Hunter Guild gives hella herbs
My 1800 total Ironman with 29 farming 😅
Fortunately he only has a few more quests where farming is a major component. Forgettable Tale is ass though.
From one Englishman to another, I love the way your character and dry humour has shone through throughout this series. It's been entertaining, compelling, and fantastically presented throughout, a reason to smile while I've been recovering from norovirus, and an inspiration to get back into this wonderful game myself. Huge respect to you, and luck in your future trials with this series.
So the reason your maple turned into an oak, is that a few years back jagex stopped sending farming patch data (what state, what's in it, etc) unless you are within a certain range of the patch. A runelite or similar plugin existed that could monitor your patches for you using it and they felt it was too OP vs an amulet in the game. As such, there's placeholders in farming patches until you get close enough to receive the data.
Those white tree fruit have a use, and the queen can tell you more.
The pass requirements aren't too bad for the original ring of charos part, but in general it's diplomacy so being agreeable was the idea.
You didn't need to take the ring off, you could have just not used the charm option for Alain.
Great episode, your production quality just keeps getting better! Seriously think you deserve a golden gnome for this series.
Thank you so much Riley! Your support is always so so appreciated, incredibly kind donation and words. I’m so glad you’re still enjoying the series and thanks for the kind words about a golden gnome, that would be an absolute dream!!
jesus Lyra is a fucking siren. i spacebarred through this quest each time never knowing that, thats grim.
I'm currently 300 qp and I still learn something in every one of these videos 🤣When you're doing the quest you're just trying to get to the cheese at the end of the maze, but in this videos you can really enjoy the ride and the presentation of the lore.
@@Ink_spott try out "By Release" J1mmy explains all lore quite well
And the fact that Elstan is having you grow Marigilds for him so that he can get lured by Lyra is hilarious
"i use my feminine arse i mean feminine arts to lure young farmers"
maybe thats how her dad died... fenkenstrain got her dad. and she promised to bring farmers to keep fenken off her and her moms back.
even though the estimated last completion date is almost always: "i have no clue" i still appreciate the addition
also! i always see you click to continue dialog options but you can also just press "space" to continue it :o
I think he purposefully doesn’t use the spacebar, as to not accidentally miss key dialogue hints.
@@Oct0ber_Skyy definitely makes sense tbh it could be easy to accidentally hit it and lose a dialogue
Yeah exactly it’s to avoid skipping something important just in case
Alien food dropped another BANGER
This series singlehandingly made me come back to osrs. Thanks alot for great content! Seeing your uploads is always a highlight!
Thanks so much for the kind donation and words! I’m glad I could have inspired you to jump back on, hope you have a great adventure
I always had such a mental block about farming that I literally completely avoided it until I came back to the game a few years back. Even then, still probably my lowest skill.
Great vid as always!
Put your tool in the leprechaun? Hmm....
Poor fella...
I absolutely love this series! Can't wait to see what is next!
Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying
I love these moments in OSRS quests like trying to shortcut the quest and grab the seeds from the rose bushes, but then getting confronted by the quest NPC. Your quest really feels like it is developing as you play because of this.
I too hate dailies in most games, but for some reason just love farming. Idk, from the very beginning when I started my account my goal was to get the most efficient farming routes possible, and that led me towards things like diaries and quests. It ties in so neatly with everything else in the game. It's a bit like combat in that sense, only instead of clicking crabs every 12mins you click herbs every couple hours.
Maybe it's about the self-direction aspect, that I chose it as my goal. In other games they usually push the dailies, like it's always the first thing you see when you log in. I don't even use the runelite plugin, I just remember my timers or cast geomancy when I forget.
But yea, each to their own as with all things.
Happy friday and thanks for another banger Alien ❤ I remember finding your channel with just a few videos and i watched them all in a row. Ever since then I'm always waiting for a new upload. You've already come so far and at the same time your journey on youtube and in game is just getting started. You are such a breath of fresh air to the osrs community.
Much love ❤
V.
Thanks you so so much for the incredible kind words and the continued support Vilbe. I remember you popping in to the live streams way back and commenting super early on. It really means a lot to me I still see people from a while back still commenting and enjoying the series. Thanks again ❤️
there was 0 typing/shaking of the screen in the last video i think and i can't tell you how excited i was to see it again in this one!
40:40 (no spoilers) there was a bit of dialogue with King Roald you could have had there that would have been a great laugh, but you happened to pick the right dialogue option first. I was looking forward to hearing you bicker back and forth with him hahaha
It was so satisfying watching you figure out some of the puzzles/challenges of this quest, it's really cool to watch you improve after learning some more about how the game works/flows through Legend's Quest
14:40 thank you for that mate, happiest I've been in ages watching someone rake.
If you can get into the rhythm of doing a farm run every time you login at the start of your play session, it adds up really fast.
That's how I've always made myself train Farming.
That or if you really want to train it quickly there may be a certain method on a certain continent...
You don't even need to do it every play session, just doing hardwood patches is like 45k xp and you can add in other ones as you want.
@@Robert-mx1io he's a first time Ironman. I'm not even sure if he knows what Fossil Island is, and I try to keep all of my comments as spoiler-free as possible.
Besides, doing herb/allotment runs is really important for ironmen. He's gonna want those herbs later.
The trouble is, how is he going to know the more efficient farming methods if the goal is to not use guides or outside help? Unless he makes an exception for non-questing skill training. I recall in RS3 that I also considered farming to be a tedious chore until I relied more on guides for how to power through it faster/more efficiently, making achieving 99 more practical (this was years ago so it was before a while bunch of content added since, but even then there were so many options and factors that it's really hard to know what is the "correct" way to train it).
@@TheBruin42The dude wants to play the game unguided, so I guess he's going to do Farming unguided too...
@razorednight That'll have to be the price he pays to create some unique content. But may God have mercy on his soul when he has to figure out how best to grind some of these skills to higher levels for some of the grandmaster quests. At least I don't think there are many 90+ level requirements, if any, so maybe getting 80s isn't too bad for most.
Of course, he has a far bigger future concerns with a few of the especially notorious quest puzzles than a few measily skill grinds...
Possibly my favourite osrs series! What you have done is very impressive, using only your wits and sometimes vague memories to solve puzzles within quests is seriously satisfying. I really hope you continue the series much further but it makes me wonder, how on Earth are you gonna beat some quest bosses, as they can be quite punishing, especially without knowing the mechanics. Can't wait for future episodes!!
Best osrs series right now. So glad you decided to go ahead and make this! Love listening to the quests while I work and get more insight on the lore. Thanks again mate 👍
30:12 the most normal reaction I’ve ever seen in a video game to someone breaking into your house 😂
I've played this game for over 15 years and use the wiki for every little thing in the world and I still manage to learn something from watching you every episode. Love it
Thanks for the channel support and the kind words! Glad you’re enjoying :)
For farming I just logged in and out at the Farming Guild every session. I'd plant whatever I could there and do contracts. I didn't have to go out of my way but got some regular passive xp in. I now have 99 :)
WOOOOOO thank you, watching this as I power through the last hour of work.
You’re amazing!
I have not played runescape in what feels like 16 years. And have no plans to start again so have no idea why the algorithm threw ypur videos at me a few weeks ago
Your video series is fantastic and I have watched them all.
11/10
I can't believe he fished the ring up on the second try, that took me sooooo long to do my last go round the quest
Could be like j1mmy on by release and throw it down again and spend an hour getting it back
These videos are so fun to watch, really good stuff mate. Can't believe you gobbled the fruit and seeds of the last surviving white tree in Gielinor
Fun tidbit about the Wise Old Man's Farming question. This quest came out shortly after (Or roughly the same time) as the release of the Farming skill, hence the question asking about Farming with zero negative options.
Stellar video once again. Your editing and pacing for these videos is so pinpoint fucking perfect, it amazes me every video you put out. Keep up the amazing work.
I hope this series keeps going until its upto date! If averaging 0.75 quests a week per video, theres like over 100 quests to go so easily 3 more years of vids, wooooo!
18:23, thought we were about to segue into an ad for mental health advisors
“and when I need a little help, I contact my friends at BETTERHELP”
So glad it didn’t turn into this, BetterHelp sponsorships give me the ick
This is hilarious 😂😂
knock knock, BetterHelp come sponsor this man
There is someone you can talk to. You can talk to Alain.
@@appullplease no, betterhelp are awful
Eyyyy! I finally caught up! Been watching this amazing series for a while now, and I just realised that autoplay didn't queue the next one haha. Thank you so much for the incredible content so far, I'm really loving the concept! Whenever I did questing in rs3 I always went in blind to quests and only looked up solutions when I got stuck, so this style of playing really hits some nostalgia for me. Some of these puzzles you've figured out would've left me stumped for so long. Really looking forward to the rest of the Mahjarrat quest line (especially desert treasure!). It's probably my favourite in rs3.
Ngl, the video title made me think you were doing My Arms Big Adventure.
This series is so freaking good. And I’m learning so much about the quests since I just spacebar’d through most of the dialogue
Seeing the "you softly stroke your cat." was 100% the best part. I got scared you were gonna have a runaway!! 😂
I've never paid attention to the specific day a youtuber uploads before, but now I love fridays
Thank you Alien Food for encouraging me to get back into this game that I’ve loved for so many years!!
I can’t explain the joy I get from these videos. Thank you for this incredible series!
Really enjoying the series! Looking forward to Desert Treasure 1!
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind donation!! And also the really kind words
I love this spoiler free content. I cant wait for some of the big quests. Like one small favor
Another great video! Helping me through my recovery from my eye operation! Been here from the start and I’ve loved every episode!!
Thank you so much and hope you’re recovering well!
Can’t believe it’s already been a year since you started this series, been amazing watching your channel grow
When I first came back to RuneScape as an adult, I refused to use RuneLite and only used the wiki to look up items I had never heard of. Playing unguided is so rewarding, it's cool to see someone else doing it too.
You know, I have been wanting to get into the lore of runescape and this is a fun way of absorbing it. Great videos
"Good heavens, Morytania is fucked up" oh just you wait for the vampyre questline
4:27 after this, one could almost say, that you are the master of the lore of the ring
I used to agree 1000% with your takes on farming, but I've found that if you route your farming paths right you can treat it more like a lap running skill than a daily. There's enough allotment and herb patches in the game that if you start at one and go around harvesting/re-planting all of them by the time you've finished the last one the first one you hit will be fully grown; repeat until you hit your farming goal or simply can't stand to do it any longer.
I think it’s a mental block more than anything lol. Even starting a loop like that feels long to me 😂
that sounds like hell, i'll stick to forgetting about my trees
Honestly this is gonna be a great series. Especially when you get to Song of the Elves. That'll be the best episode.
Loving the vids Alien! Hope you enjoy making these as much as we love watching them :)
your skills over each episode have increased so much. Legend's Quest shaped you.
I keep forgetting you upload fridays so every week I feel like I’m getting a little present ❤
just wanted to show my love for the series! Please keep it up!
This series brings me a lot of joy. Thank you @Alien Food
Honestly best series on RUclips atm can’t wait for the next episode
My man so deep into osrs logic and quests, "What's long with a hook to get the ring?"
Just finished binging this series yesterday! Happy to see another upload from the GOAT
I caught up :( no more binging. The playlist has been on every time I go to sleep. Thank you man ❤️
the hilarious thing is, other players see the trolley, but not whats on it :p i saw a guy push that trolley few days ago and didnt know what i was looking at 😂 great video again man!
I love the part in Garden of Tranquility that just interrupts the quest with a little survey of "Are you enjoying the AMAZING new farming skill?" [yes] [definitely] [ABSOLUTELY]
Also the quiz mentions PKmaster0036 and I just noticed on rewatching the cutscene he's the guy that brutally murders the two guards.
That dragonstone from the gem grab bag is huge for him and he didn't seem to really realize it. He's been rocking the noob amulets for months, and he could get up to four really good teleport items if he buys a few more bags to get more. Shame he found it so late because he has RFD done now and the bracelet isn't an upgrade on top of that.
"I think this guy's gone mental"
"Can I do anything to steal from him? No."
"Poor bloke" 😂
I forgot about stealing the statues! This series is so fun to watch.
Thank you!! Glad you’re enjoying and thanks for the channel support
About the Shooting Stars activity, actually -- the whole incentive behind why they made the activity was to encourage player-to-player interactions, like sharing star location info with other players. Some plugins and cc's do take it a bit farther than might feel organic, though, you're fair to assess that.
Given the spirit of the activity, could I maybe suggest opening up a line for viewer "participation" via your in-game chat channel? (Players can join a chat channel by typing a user's name in the chat channel tab on the in-game UI, the two yellow smileys with helmets on) Where players could join your chat to tell you about a star they organically discovered themselves. It'd have to be on the honor system, to be fair, but also in fairness, I think viewers have been pretty polite with your Unguided wishes so far! (And if any bad actors try to stir trouble, I believe you can ban them from your chat channel.)
HAPPY FRIDAYYY, been looking forward to this all week again! Let’s go!
Alienfood: Morytania's fucked up. Everything going on inside Morytania is fucked up.
Settled: Am I a joke to you?
Farming is gonna be a struggle on an Ironman but try to keep up with it because when you need those levels there is no quick way to level the skill on an ironman. Love the content man.
Like the series and your commentary:) may I suggest you put the series name in the video title "Unguided - ***" maybe even give them an additional number, this way videos would be easier to find, and the order would immediately be obvious
Loving this series and currently binging it! I wonder if OSRS will go the same way with Charos that RS3 has. It's certainly an interesting way to continue his story, I like it
I love this series a lot! Cant wait for some of the bigger quests 😊
I loved farming. I never thought of it as a chore, but rather as a nice break in the middle of a big grind or between tasks.
Slayer task complete -> herb run -> get new task
The writing in this quest is so good, I love it.
I love this quest. It's a bit of a pain (although not as bad when you realize it was released RIGHT after Farming, so it was still novel) but Queen Ellamaria is genuinely one of my favorite characters. She's got it made in life and she's gonna make that everybody else's problem. Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss, you know? 😂😂
Plus SHE at least thinks the garden turned out nice!
The best time of the week just dropped!
"I use my feminine ars-- i mean feminine arts to lure young farmers back to the land"
friday! cant wait for the next episode later
Such a great series. Definitely one of my favorites on youtube.
‘Charos? The name *RINGS* a bell’ 😂
This is why I love RuneScape.
These videos are always so good, thank you!!
When you've completed this series in OSRS I really do suggest you do a similar series for RS3. The lore continues for a lot of quests there, but it also diverges. Could be a cool thing to do as a parallel experience.
This channel is goated. keep it up brotha you'll blow up
FINALLY, someone who isn't afraid to bash on FARMING!
WE HATE FARMING
Hate normal farming, love tithe farm
Farming was my first 99. Farming is best skill. It was perfect to do in work breaks and on breaks from other hobbies.
Don't integrate it with normal play, outside of tree runs. Integrate it with times you're not playing. Like I could play guitar, paint, work out, or read for an hour and keep my inventory set up for it.
Farming is great because it essentially levels up when you're offline. Any amount of herb farming is decent cash too. You don't need to do it every couple of hours. Do it once when you log-in then again before you log-out regardless of what else you're doing and it will be 99 in no-time. Or do what the other guy suggested. Farm runs on your work breaks/lunch.
@@MeanderingSlackerThe last thing I want to do while I'm out, is pull out my phone to do my chores on a game.
But! Along the lines of your reading one, gearing up for a double fruit tree run, and doing 1 was often how I ended my sessions, and then when you play the next day you are already ready to harvest and replant.
White tree fruit restores some energy. Those grow all the time and you can pick those for some energy. Its like stange fruit, but you only get those from white tree. Love this series!
I used to hate farming aswell, but its not that bad after you do some quest and achievement diaries for some good teleports. After you have these important teleports its chill skill to do couple times a day.
Least favorite skills, fishing and woodcutting. Favorite noncombat skill, farming. I love daily like content, OSRS needs way more.
13:53 I knew Lyra had a dark backstory but playing these back to back I didn't realize how much she had in common with Fenkenstrain to survive in these lands, even worse that she says she recognizes the power of Charos. _Those two have a history?!_ That or some other malevolent force on her mind, but just bad news all around living in Morytania, sheesh.
14:15 The worst part is for all I know they did exactly that and I never noticed. Wouldn't be the only time a doppelganger replaced a dead quest npc...
Realizing Alien food walked from canifis to the farming patch hurt me so much, but thats why I love the series
My friend I’m walking from Varrock 😭
I am aware of the ghosts ahoy quest teleport thing just havent got round to it yet lol
The Wise Old Man quiz is about being worthy of using the influential power of the ring. The reason you passed the second try is because you picked all of the options that fulfill the wishes of the other person in the scenario, which would make you a good diplomat.
What are you talking about Alien Food, youre a natural at farming.... views with banger series! 🔥
This is one of the few quests where the obviously wrong dialogue is so tempting.
Sooo tempting 😂
14:17 lol probably. Never thought of it like that 😂
6:45 without being to specific, I believe your supposed to choose the option that would be most likely to persuade each of those individuals in the proposed scenarios, Im sure passing is 5/7 or something like that
Around the time I did this quest, I also hated farming and didn't like the idea of it. But when I finally gave it a real shot and started doing regular tree/herb runs, I got really into it and it quickly became my highest level skill now about level 103. I liked that I could do the run and then log off for a while or do something else while still feeling efficient
you poking fun at past you in the edit is so funny haha
Yoooo, another banger video for the algorithm 💜
