Other notable things: When prepping an inventory in 2004, there also wasn't a one click teleport (to my knowledge). Players had to carry runes for a teleport or utilize a ring of life (risky). Amulet of glories existed but did not have the rub/teleport option from within the equipment tab. I have vague memories of even having to take the glory off in order to "rub" it, but I could be mistaken. The dragon chainbody dropped a bit day after day after news dropped that the dragon platebody would be released (2008). The chainbody rebounded in price though shortly after.
10:50 unlocked a memory for me. a bunch of kids me included were hanging out after the school discussing if anyone had yet seen a dragon 2h in game and when someone had seen one and described it to the rest of us we were all dumbstruck with awe lol
I remember back in like 08 having a stroke every time rune chain was dropped thinking it was d chain. Thanks for coming back man, been binging your videos like a lunatic. Kudos from Ireland
I remember forum discussions about strategies back in about 05/06. I’ve recently been soloing KQ and even in A tier gear she still shreds, lots of respect for that and for Jagex not retuning or nerfing her.
I'd normally agree, but the fact they buffed her because they originally wanted her to NOT be solo-able is the opposite of today. With the head being a darn diary requirement, it's entirely intended to be solo now. If they'd just undo that buff of adding the range attack too or something, I'd be happy. This is a miserable boss to grind even in Leagues.
This was an epic boss fight back in the day with a potential d chain drop of about 20-30mill. I wish the d chain was still worth even 10% of that. I never fought her myself until earlier this year because i have like 5 slayer helms unlocked but my personal favorite is the kalphite one which i have unlocked but havent got the head drop yet. The pet is also one of the coolest in the game imo.
I just started this one my uim and it's kinda really fun... it's not supposed to be a money maker just a chill walk under fight The run sucks without elite diary but it's chill
I remember having dragon legs, obbyshield, rune boots, dragon med helm, granite plate body, and dragon long sword, chasing after that 20 mill chain body
The only pet I ever bothered to grind. I hated every single one of my 1509 kills. I remember watching myself climb into the top 2k of all players on hiscores. To get that high with only 1500kc is proof of how awful it is. But the pet is freakin' sick it was worth it. Going to do it again on Leagues next month. Lmao
Yeah it is haha. I remember paying 1.2m for my first one. Totally wiped my bank and did the dmed rebuild. Then went to flex with it at the catherby lobster spot. Was worth it.

This used to be the OG final boss of runescape
For sure!
It truly was
I'm a relative new player (2018) and it's really interesting to see what the game used to be!

Lmao I remember buying one for like 3m in 2006, instantly regretting it & trying like hell to get rid of it. D2h is def memorable
Reminds me of how prestigious monkey madness was to get that sweet d scimmy, kids in school were like damnnnn you got a d scimmy!!
I freaking love these types of videos takes me back to the good ole days 😂

Same, same. Only it was my dumb friends that would be spamming "chain" when they got the drop lmao
Good to be back, thanks so much!
I was there 3000 years ago

Doing this boss with my friends in middle school as well as kbd was the peak of my life
That agility shortcut locked behind the elite diary is just salt on the wounds lol
Lmaooo 😂
so glad you are back
Glad that you are glad!
Man you never lost the talent for this during your break. Videos as good as ever.
Tysm, means a ton. I have imposter syndrome sometimes haha
Another great video that took me down memory lane. Keep them up my friend these are so good.
Great video. Perfect flow of information.
Tyvm, I appreciate you
glad you're uploading again, good vid
Tysm

Kq with a friend back in the day was dope, loved the veracs setup lol
For sure lmao, then you'd lag out and die for a verac helm.
if you're reading this and cant stand KQ, send it duo
its really not bad with duo & blood fury
I could see that being chill for sure.
I feel so old watching these videos lol
Dude same. Especially when going through osrs launch photos and realizing that was 11 years ago as a re release of what I played in 2005 😅
0:28 that horrifying microphone quailty makes me very nostalgic
Haha, its like old xbox live lobbies
I just started this one my uim and it's kinda really fun... it's not supposed to be a money maker just a chill walk under fight
The run sucks without elite diary but it's chill
Yeah for sure. You're nuts playing a uim though 😂. Agree that it can be chill at times
The kings back
Patreon??
The most aesthetically pleasing boss in my opinion. I hate bugs in real life but something about KQ feels so right regardless of the time period.
50 mil drop then
150k now
😂 yeah how the mighty have fallen

2M for the Dmed is hilarious.
Yeah it is haha. I remember paying 1.2m for my first one. Totally wiped my bank and did the dmed rebuild. Then went to flex with it at the catherby lobster spot.
Was worth it.
Seconded about hating KQ
Watching this at 1.5x speed just makes this video so much better. Slowest speaker ever
You're not wrong
Y'all remember the vid from 18 years ago about the guy soloing KQ in full Veracs
first...... to say that i hate KQ
funny timing for this to come out just a few days after i got my kq pet on osrs (~3450 kc)
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The good ol days
& a santa hat for 2.6m with that spare 3m 🤣
Haha
