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.

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).
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
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

@@jasonolson7966raising cats and selling them so they can catch rats in a place with a rat infestation isn’t anything nefarious or cruel, it’s just a fair exchange! It’s not like the cats get eaten or anything. Well, probably not, anyway.
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.
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
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!!
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.
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 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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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 👍
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...
@@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).
@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!!
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.
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
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 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
By the by, if you talk to Queen Ellemaria after the quest, she'll explain that the white tree fruits restore a bit of run energy, which is decent if you don't have easy access to energy potions.
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!
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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!
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 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
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.
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.
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
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!
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
Still can’t believe that Jagex decided to gaslight RS3 players into believing the queen of Varrock is a super strong adventurer and always has been when the reality is that she was was always a pretty but stupid barmaid with a bad attitude the king took a liking to.
I completely agree with farming feeling like a daily and not liking it for that reason. Same reason I was reluctant to do Sea-Weeds, same reason a lot of this 'max effeciency tasks/runs' that people kept bugging me about was stuff I really didn't want to do. In the end, none of it was necessary to begin with and it was widly overemphasized. If you're going to play the game until you max or get max gear regardless, the amount of supplies you'll get from just bossing itself is way WAY more than you'd ever need for maxing.
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.
10:00 I don't remember exactly but those bushes were added somewhere ~2015ish i think because it helps you path correctly inside the bank when clicking on a banker, as opposed to facing the wall where the bushes now sit. There were some complaints about this around that time.
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 :)
18:32 - When you aren't in the same chunk your crops are obfuscated if you haven't been back there since they've grown. This was done to break the OSBuddy Pro plugin that told you the status of crops in patches and if they were diseased.
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...
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.
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.)
Might've been an editing cut, but that cutscene with the guards is supposed to have a player spoof show up and start killing them. But I think Jagex broke it when they added some new scenery (think it's the flagposts) in that area, and they never went back and fixed it. Bit frustrating, honestly, because it's a pretty funny scene.
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.
the maple tree turning into an oak is a runelite issue, while it renders it cant know whats planted there so its just guessing until its into actual render distance
The funny thing is that farming CAN technically be done as a full time skill, and you will gain more exp in doing so, but you need to run across the entire map checking on your allotments, flower patches, bushes, fruit trees, trees, mushroom patches etc. etc. etc. so it's a lot of different things all at once. But it's technically something you can do. Especially if you unlock all patches in the game.
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
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.
I love Farming. The only time it really felt like a daily task was when I was lower level on my main trying to scrape by for Bonds. But honestly, I think Farming itself it great. You don't HAVE to do it perfectly timed every single time. You don't HAVE to do it daily and miss out on rewards. You can simply do plant the seeds and go do something else.
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.

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.
Put your tool in the leprechaun? Hmm....
Poor fella...
Ngl, the video title made me think you were doing My Arms Big Adventure.
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.
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 👍
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!!
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
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.
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 :)
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.
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
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
WOOOOOO thank you, watching this as I power through the last hour of work.
You’re amazing!
By the by, if you talk to Queen Ellemaria after the quest, she'll explain that the white tree fruits restore a bit of run energy, which is decent if you don't have easy access to energy potions.
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!
I keep forgetting you upload fridays so every week I feel like I’m getting a little present ❤
"Good heavens, Morytania is fucked up" oh just you wait for the vampyre questline
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
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
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!
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!
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!
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
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 ❤️
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.
I've never paid attention to the specific day a youtuber uploads before, but now I love fridays
Seeing the "you softly stroke your cat." was 100% the best part. I got scared you were gonna have a runaway!! 😂
Loving the vids Alien! Hope you enjoy making these as much as we love watching them :)
I love this spoiler free content. I cant wait for some of the big quests. Like one small favor
Can’t believe it’s already been a year since you started this series, been amazing watching your channel grow
HAPPY FRIDAYYY, been looking forward to this all week again! Let’s go!
Just finished binging this series yesterday! Happy to see another upload from the GOAT
This series brings me a lot of joy. Thank you @Alien Food
just wanted to show my love for the series! Please keep it up!
I caught up :( no more binging. The playlist has been on every time I go to sleep. Thank you man ❤️
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!
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.
Alienfood: Morytania's fucked up. Everything going on inside Morytania is fucked up.
Settled: Am I a joke to you?
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
I love this series a lot! Cant wait for some of the bigger quests 😊
What are you talking about Alien Food, youre a natural at farming.... views with banger series! 🔥
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.
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
Honestly best series on RUclips atm can’t wait for the next episode
4:27 after this, one could almost say, that you are the master of the lore of the ring
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.
Honestly this is gonna be a great series. Especially when you get to Song of the Elves. That'll be the best episode.
"I think this guy's gone mental"
"Can I do anything to steal from him? No."
"Poor bloke" 😂
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
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!
My man so deep into osrs logic and quests, "What's long with a hook to get the ring?"
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
Still can’t believe that Jagex decided to gaslight RS3 players into believing the queen of Varrock is a super strong adventurer and always has been when the reality is that she was was always a pretty but stupid barmaid with a bad attitude the king took a liking to.
I completely agree with farming feeling like a daily and not liking it for that reason.
Same reason I was reluctant to do Sea-Weeds, same reason a lot of this 'max effeciency tasks/runs' that people kept bugging me about was stuff I really didn't want to do.
In the end, none of it was necessary to begin with and it was widly overemphasized. If you're going to play the game until you max or get max gear regardless, the amount of supplies you'll get from just bossing itself is way WAY more than you'd ever need for maxing.
The best time of the week just dropped!
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.
your skills over each episode have increased so much. Legend's Quest shaped you.
These videos are always so good, thank you!!
"I use my feminine ars-- i mean feminine arts to lure young farmers back to the land"
‘Charos? The name *RINGS* a bell’ 😂
This is why I love RuneScape.
The writing in this quest is so good, I love it.
10:00 I don't remember exactly but those bushes were added somewhere ~2015ish i think because it helps you path correctly inside the bank when clicking on a banker, as opposed to facing the wall where the bushes now sit. There were some complaints about this around that time.
100% agree with you about daily tasks.. they really create an unenjoyable means of playing
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 :)
18:32 - When you aren't in the same chunk your crops are obfuscated if you haven't been back there since they've grown. This was done to break the OSBuddy Pro plugin that told you the status of crops in patches and if they were diseased.
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...
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.
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.)
Might've been an editing cut, but that cutscene with the guards is supposed to have a player spoof show up and start killing them. But I think Jagex broke it when they added some new scenery (think it's the flagposts) in that area, and they never went back and fixed it. Bit frustrating, honestly, because it's a pretty funny scene.
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.
Least favorite skills, fishing and woodcutting. Favorite noncombat skill, farming. I love daily like content, OSRS needs way more.
the maple tree turning into an oak is a runelite issue, while it renders it cant know whats planted there so its just guessing until its into actual render distance
This is one of the few quests where the obviously wrong dialogue is so tempting.
Sooo tempting 😂
Such a great series. Definitely one of my favorites on youtube.
The funny thing is that farming CAN technically be done as a full time skill, and you will gain more exp in doing so, but you need to run across the entire map checking on your allotments, flower patches, bushes, fruit trees, trees, mushroom patches etc. etc. etc. so it's a lot of different things all at once.
But it's technically something you can do. Especially if you unlock all patches in the game.
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
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.
I love Farming.
The only time it really felt like a daily task was when I was lower level on my main trying to scrape by for Bonds.
But honestly, I think Farming itself it great. You don't HAVE to do it perfectly timed every single time. You don't HAVE to do it daily and miss out on rewards. You can simply do plant the seeds and go do something else.
