Safe spotting bosses is really only a thing in early game quests and for slayer monsters. It’s a charming feature, but don’t you worry! The game ramps up in difficulty starting at the fight caves (jad) and much more so with content up until the inferno (zuk). There will be monsters that you safespot from time to time, but none of them will be actual bosses and often times there are other mechanics like prayer switching you’ll have to worry about from the safespot. Anyways, I enjoyed the vid! Good luck on your journey :)
@acow1385 I actually did Vardorvis on my first try, and killed Leviathan shortly after the first special attack (only one stun). Only Whisperer gave me some trouble but I swapped my gear then did it in one (never died to her enraged phase, I actually killed her the first time I reached enraged). Honestly I don't know why I was always afraid of Jad, maybe it's just the time it takes to get there again if I fail 😂
@@ShizuruNakatsu Honestly, if you’ve got 90 ranged and some decent gear, you could easily rush through the waves in under an hour. If you want some more practice for the prayer flicks, Scurrius is an alright method. I’ll be honest though, that first Jad fight will have your mouse shaking.
@acow1385 90 just happens to be my exact Ranged level. And that's kind of my problem, I panic and get overwhelmed easily if I'm trying to keep track of a few things at once, especially when I'm either very close to beating something, or one mistake from dying. I can't imagine just staying calm when I get there. I will try using a simulator for the prayer flicks though.
Also, watching noobs be noobs is so great cause you get to see someone make the same mistakes, and creating the same fun memories that you did like 20 years ago. And sometimes the way new players think is revolutionary, like asking for features that veterans would never think to ask for, but which would be amazing.
I've been playing for 19 years and love seeing people experience and discover the game for the first time. My first time playing i didnt leave lumbridge for 2 months! I didn't know there was more to the game outside lumbridge lol. I enjoy seeing your journey.
0:48 of course, its like reliving through our nostalgia through you, also interesting to watch a new player go through things the first time is always entertaining =p also for thieving, if you want alot more laid back method thats not click intensive at all, its in varlamore
menu entry swapper and its variants on runelite are a must. You can change left click on almost anything to whatever you want. 1 click tele while wearing jewelry among 1000 other useful things.
if you havent found out yet on runelite you can shift - right click just about anything/objects/npcs/items in inventory or worn and swap the left click to be anything you want. Helps a lot for left click dropping useless items or changing teleports to be left click on certain items. Also Huge GRATZ on the wedding. love the vids
This is adorable. Keep grinding king. It's almost more fun to be in the dark than know everything about the game so best of luck having fun and avoiding everyone telling you the "proper" way to do everything
I just started my own Ironman after returning to RuneScape after a long time. I like watching these videos along my own playthrough. Keep it up, earned a sub!
Heck yeah bro, congrats on the wedding and glad you're having fun with the game! The account upgrades just keep getting better making the game more fun the more you play!
We do like to watch new players play lol. For me it reminds me of when I was a kid first experiencing the game.. which was almost 20 years ago. So it’s fun to watch you experience everything and progress for the first time. Keep them up!
Subscribed! Really nice videos. Great thing about the runescape community is that we all enjoy watching other people play while doing some afk activity in the game. You have great commentary and edits, so I will for sure follow your journey if this turn into a series :) Keep it up man
You could have taken a charter ship from Port Sarim right to Catherby. Once your magic level is high enough, you can teleport to Camelot which is right between Seer's Village and Catherby. By the way, I really recommend not skipping dialogue. Not only is the dialogue in the game entertaining and worth reading, but you often get key details from it, as you figured out here. And as for safespotting, early bosses like this can be safespotted, but that mechanic stops being feasible for bosses by mid-game. By then you should have the "protect from" spells for magic, ranged, and melee, and have to make use of those protection prayers. Then in upper mid game you have to learn how to switch prayers during a fight, then by late game you're precisely flicking prayers since most late-game bosses will switch attack types multiple times every second or so. THEN by endgame, you're doing that while dodging attacks by moving and sometimes doing other mechanics, like clicking specific equipment slots to parry attacks. The skill ceiling is quite high.
Yep ive definitely been reading more, there some really funny dialogue in this game lol. Like "No Shirt Sherlock" I came across haha. Also nice to know there will be more challenge later on!
I'm an "experienced" osrs player. I've played the game off and on for years mostly f2p. But yours and Karadus' content as WoW players trying OSRS is some of my favorite right now. I just found your 3rd video and had to start from the beginning. Can't wait for more
This has been great content, watched this one and the previous RS video. I still enjoy WoW but Runescape has this sort of great feeling while playing so I enjoy both quite a bit and it's been very fresh seeing your experience in this since I also come from that kind of mmorpg background too. I think what I like about RS the most is it doesn't necessarily feel like it's "pushing me" in any direction and I sort of just end up doing a bit of whatever.
Hey just a tip, there's an option in the banking section of runelite that lets you use your keyboard to type in your bank pin. Would be useful so you dont have to blur it out in your video and its honestly just a lot faster because you don't need to look at all the buttons changing hahaha.
love seeing new players start their RuneScape journey, cant wait to see you progress through all the stages from Noob to hopefully PVM God, congrats on your wedding mate :)
Love this series, a couple of advice: - Train your agility, it makes your run energy charge faster - Do Fairy Tale pt.1 and start pt. 2 quests, it will unlock a ton of free teleports (fairy rings) all over the world - Train your combat levels (eg. with higher magic you can teleport to a lot of locations), questing is fun but it is much easier when you are beefier - Train your prayer (bury bones), with 43 you get all the protection prayers and can basically nullify most of the damage from normal mobs Keep up the good work! ♥
Subbed! I hope you keep making videos on your journey through OSRS. I left a pretty lengthy comment on your last video, but didn’t realize it was already a month old (just watched it before this one). Based off your reaction to demon slayer, can’t wait for you to get to some of the other quests!! There’s so much, I’m so excited for you to experience this game fresh. Woo!
10:00 yes there is! Just pickpocket some money like 30gp or so, run to Rimmington, and take the Captain’s ship to Ardougne. I hope you found Death’s coffer also however (multiple places to get to Death)
Watching newbs play RuneScape reminds me of playing for the first time so it's just something I can empathize with. We all have had the shared experience of dying far away from lumbridge and running back to our grave lol. FYI there's a tunnel between Camelot/Catherby and Taverly that you can unlock by doing the fishing competition quest.
For me, as someone who's played runscape for almost twenty years now, It's about trying to capture that feeling of the past, by watching someone whos new.
You don't need to stand behind NPCs to pickpocket them, it has no bearing on success rate. There is only 1 that it matters, and that is a part of a quest.
@@d0onut If they did there are probably other factors that made them feel like there was a difference, but this came straight from Mod Ash that it doesn't do anything for success rates.
A few things: Congrats on the marriage! 1. Only do the special events that give xp rewards, Jagex will not think you are a boy. 2. Definitely do the new Varlamore thieving method, blackjacking is awful. 3. You're going to want to train magic to unlock teleport spells. These are essential for getting around the game. There is a Camelot teleport which brings you right next to catherby. It also unlocks combat spells which will be useful for your first bossing adventure at Barrows! 4. Dragon axes chop logs at a faster rate than any other axes. 5. Constantly look things up on the wiki, this will vastly expand your game knowledge
MOREEE. I wanna see the progress up to end game :) Also use minigames teleports (in the Grouping tab at the bottom) to get around early game, its a 30 minute cooldown but that passes by fast when you're doing stuff here and there until your magic is higher. GZ on the wedding as well!
at 50 thieving you unlock access to varlamore thieving which i personally find to be the most fun way to get experiance in the stat as i also hate pickpocketing, its about breaking into rich peoples houses and stealing valuables from then and is very entertaining. one big tip i have is to get monkey madness 1 done as it has massive exp rewards in combat, also dont overlook farming as its one of the most useful skills especially on an ironman to get herbs to make yourself potions. good luck on the journey
Thanks! Ahh ok didnt know what the varlamore thieving was, my friends have mentioned it. Ill def start farming soon once I learn a bit more about it lol
@@yhonasthe guide will get your farming sorted (early game it's tedious AF to get the supplies), but I don't think it's been updated after varlamore was released. Go check it out with your group once it tells you to do black jacking or when you get bored of doing it.
A really big upgrade for early ironmen is doing the Ardougne Easy Diary. You get a reward called the Ardougne cloak 1 which gives you unlimited teleports to the Ardougne Monastery. It's a great teleport to that half of the map before you get the materials together for jewlery & magic spell teleports.
To skip white wolf mountain, there's an easy quest called Fishing Contest which unlocks a passge to go under the mountain. It's better to do it sooner on your account because you'll eventually unlock teleports that are better than the passage under the mountain.
You experienced something on ice wolf mountain that was ubiquitous for us playing back in the early 2000s, which is totally avoidable nowadays. It's actually something quite nice to see.
recipe for disaster is a solid starting questline. but im excited to see you do the 5 grandmaster quests. also runelite is amazing... you could get quest helper if you havent tried it yet. also there is a load of great teleports you unlock.
Ardy cloak is an incredible upgrade for early game ironmen - basically gives you easy access to that side of the continent. Good luck on your way to barrows gloves, fire cape, fighter torso, and ancient magicks! There are many many adventures ahead :D
It is plenty of fun watching new players in the game make similar mistakes that we made in the past. If you complete The Fishing Contest, you are given access to an underground pass that goes right through white wolf mountain. Another thing to know is that the cheap easy to replace stuff still towards the start of the account is easy to buy back from Death's Domain.
to get from lumbride to catherby 1. walk from lumbridge to edgeville 2. Bank all your items 3. walk to the ruin south of the edgeville bank 4. pull the red lever on the wall (This teleports you to the deep wilderness, where PVP is enabled. hence the banking your items) 5. Pull the red lever on the wall, it's right next to where you got teleported to. 6. You're now in ardougne, Walk north east to go to catherby Alternatively, get 45 magic and teleport to camelot, then walk south east.
Honestly, if you could post your stats or your team’s stats per video, people could give more specific advice. Also, as a long time RuneScape player, seeing number go up=good. Being able unlock traversal options within the game is definitely one way to improve your QOL. This includes but not limited to: Fairy rings Teleportation spells (depending on your magic level) Jewelry teleportation( ie:duel ring, games necklace, etc.) -there are many more niche and specific ways to get to certain areas in the map but the above list cover alot of the areas you might frequent when starting out. Thank you for continuing to give this game a chance.
I'm sure its been mentioned already but getting the ardy cloak early game is essential for ironman travels. Its doing the ardougne achievement diaries. With that and the chronical it makes travel a lot nicer. Update I just got to the part where you talked about the cloak. You got it, gl gl.
Probably some of the easiest ways to get over and around that mountain early on are unlocking the level for camelot teleport, using the charter ships, or using the non-charter ships in port sarim to go to karamja, then going from brimhaven to ardougne. There's also using the edgeville lever twice that briefly puts you in the wilderness, but will get you from Edgeville to Ardougne basically instantly. If you continue the HAM questline as well it has a really great way to get low-mid level jewelry for teleports.
Oh shoot ya know what I didnt even think of the port sarim to karamja, then back to ardougne. Ive taken that route a few times now, I was kinda in panic mode cause I was on a 15 min timer lol
there are actually two methods you could have used to get to Catherby quicker: 1. Teleport to Camelot (45 magic required) and run south 2. Take the ship from rimmington to Ardougne and run east (still way faster than walking over that damn mountain) Hope it will help you in the future.
Additionally, there are two other methods... Pull the lever in Edgeville, then pull it again in the wildy to get to Ardougne Complete easy Ardougne achievement diary for a cape that teleports you to the monestery below Ardougne
@@yhonas you can fletch some long bows/short bows (without the string, so it says unfinished x bow. x being the type of wood like oak etc) and sell those to a general store for enough gold to take a ship if you lose your money again in the future. Just need an axe and a knife
Since he unlocked spirit trees this episode can also spirit tree from Grand Exchange to Tree Gnome Village, you're overshooting it quite a bit but you don't have to deal with the aggressive wolves
Don't have anything in your inventory when you do this. You can pull the lever in edgeville to take you to the deep wilderness and then pull it again to take you to ardougne near the castle. There is also a cheap boat in rimmington that can take you to ardougne. At lvl 15 fishing you can use the fishing trawler minigame teleport to port khazard.
The tome of fire is very good. getting unlucky on the Tome from wintertodt is a source of frustration for many players, so getting it early is extra lucky to most
Do read as much quest dialogue as you can afford to, they are all packed with personality and humour that really make this game stand out in a way not many others can. GL friend!
Loving these videos! Are you a big endgame WoW raider? If so, I'm really hoping someday we get to see you fight Verzik Vitur in the Theatre of Blood raid, or Sol Heredit the champion of the Colosseum
In such a meta fueled game it is honestly so refreshing to watch someone play who doesn’t really know wtf they’re doing 😂. And I mean that with tons of love and encouragement. Keep em coming!
Early game most teleports really comes from magic spells, spirit trees are great but not that useful by themselves, but once you'll add ardougne cloak and fairy rings you'll be able to go nearly everywhere in no time !
@@yhonas As someone who plays both games, RS3 is probably the harder game to get into. The new player experience needs a shitload of work, and it's true that it's kind of overrun by MTX. There's things it does better, too, though, and there is a very vocal portion of the OSRS community that just shit talks it 24/7 for the meme when they've given it little to no shot in several years. A lot of what are or were peoples' biggest complaints have improved significantly. The launch of EoC was a disaster. A year or so later, legacy combat mode was released (it's literally OSRS combat). It's not as viable as EoC except niche situations, but it is there now. Revo was also released a year later -- It's essentially OSRS-gameplay combat, with abilities (the game triggers them automatically for you). Last year, we got Necromancy, which might as well be EoC 2.0... in all the good ways -- It is supremely intuitive. MTX is a far more volatile bear. We've had ups and downs; There was a battle pass system for a while that people... tolerated, called Yak Track. Most of the community preferred it to TH about 100 times over. And at times it seemed to keep the more insane TH stuff at bay. On the flipside, last year they tried a new battle pass system, Hero Pass, and broke the trust thermocline. Huge swathes of players left -- *that* was EoC 2.0 in a very *different* sense. Now... Hero Pass was heavily nerfed almost immediately and now that it's over will not be brought back, and we haven't had a battle pass at all in almost a year, since Hero Pass. TH is still here, but there's been several months of particularly outstanding content updates alongside it. Scrapping Hero Pass cost the game a lot of already-invested devtime for the first half of 2024, so it was a little dry, but since returning to running on full cylinders the team has put out banger after banger. I'm not saying the playerbase fully trusts Jagex won't "do some fuck shit" again -- I quit after HP and only came back with this year's stream of back to back banger content updates and I certainly am still bracing for "the fuckening," but I also can't deny that I AM enjoying the game right now. Which leads me to my point: Worst case scenario, Jagex IS gearing up for "some fuck shit." If they are, the best time to try RS3 would probably be before it -- i.e. now. You've been enjoying quests on OSRS; RS3 has a shitload more of them, and, I'll be frank; RS3 does lore better than OSRS, without question. Every content update has a story. None of that "There's a big fuckoff spider over there. Go kill it." without explanation -- not anymore. OSRS still does that all the time, there's a lot of updates with minimal to no lore or story. There's also no forced engagement in PKing on RS3. If you like PKing that's fine, but if you're just trying to go through the Wilderness to play other content RS3 lets you do that safely if you choose. It's one of many many QoL updates that RS3 has over OSRS. Some that even a significant portion of the OSRS playerbase itself genuinely believes should port over to OSRS -- Things like the toolbelt and the money pouch and bank presets. I can't tell you how much I miss those things when I go play OSRS. RS3 also has a much healthier economy than OSRS does. There's a singular massive item sink for essentially every item in the game in the form of a skill -- Invention. That keeps items flowing in and out of the game much more; Little ever gets oversaturated, and even gear far lower than the current BiS will still be in demand and therefore actually worth something. Flipside, Invention is also the singular biggest buff to any account ever, so it's inherently worth the trouble sinking a shitload of items. Consider it! Think about it. And if you do try RS3... please make a video on it too! Maybe you could even convince your GIMPman mode teammates to give it an earnest shot... GIM is coming to RS3 soon, so you'd have the opportunity soon enough.
Getting up your prayer level might be a good one, the protection prayers you can activate can offer alot of help. (Bones on wildy altar, your friends will know).
Fishing trawler minigame teleport is a nice way to get to the ardy side of the game. Also very close teleport to a bank if you need it. It does have a minute timer though.
Something you may wish to do is find a way to get prayer up. A common way is to use magic spells on safe spot Lava dragons in the wilderness and bury their bones. You can bury lava dragon bones on the lava dragon isle where they spawn to get bonus xp so its not a bad way to train mage and prayer, though you indeed are at a decent risk of getting killed by Players so don't bring all that much in there. A less risky way would be to go without anything, to the locations where big bones spawn in the wilderness, get an inventory (and optionally fill the looting bag which is easy to get), and take it to the wilderness altar on the middle/upper left area of the wilderness for 350% xp and 50% chance to not consume the bones. Getting at least 43 prayer for all 3 protection prayers is huge.
Your Ardy cape will be your quickest tele to the Catherby side of the map until you unlock the Camelot teleport spell at lvl 45 Magic. Right now you could use the Spirit Tree in the GE to Tree Gnome Stronghold which is a safer route than White Wolf Mountain but, is still pretty long.
you can ignore the randoms those people telling you the game will think you're a bot are just people who haven't played in 10 years. it was a a botting detection system in like 2005. doesn't matter anymore some of them give you really good rewards mainly the dunce (red imp) and the old man when he gives you a maze random. (gives you a lot of chaos runes/death runes based on your combat level. 500 chaos/deaths if you're over like 100 combat
Congrats on the wedding man! Also thieving hot tip, your chance of failing a pickpocket is exactly the same if you’re behind or directly facing the NPC.
Now that you know about Shift clicking to drop, its time to learn the Menu entry swapper plugin, letting you choose what options are left click and shift left click and more for each individual item. Don't want to bury bones on accident, swap it so Left click is use, Want to always drop items during a grind, left click is now drop. Its great. Also, Good news, they are talking about reworking Wintertodt so its damage wont scale based on your max hp anymore.
You’ll probably learn them soon but there is ALLOT of ways to travel around the map in this game teleports , fairy rings , spirit trees , items , boats , canoes , jewelry , random levers , magic carpets there’s pretty much a teleport anywhere in the game some way or another
If you want to get somewhere the wiki has info on it and then you might need something to unlock that transportation method which requires a quest or something that’s the rabbit hole of this game
No one will think of you as a bot if you ignore random events, but you should still do most of them as they can give you nice rewards :-) Also I noticed your chat has a lot of drop notifications for items like bones, you can adjust the value an item needs to be to notify your group of the drop along many other tweaks you can do! Hope you have a nice time in oldschool runescape
someone tell this man about the Ardougne Cloak!!! unlimited teleports to ardougne side of the map for completing the Ardougne easy diary set of tasks. edit: not two seconds after I made this comment, you mentioned it was in your gameplan. whoops
Rfd isn't the quest that everything in runescape leads up to, what you were told isnt true. its a big quest and is involved with a lot of storylines but it is by no means the main quest or what everything else is leading up to. its very good to get done and unlocks some exceptional gloves once done, but theres lots of other, unrelated quests to it to do as well.
Ignoring random encounters won't flag your account as a bot. Many years ago when they were introduced they were a valuable metric to catch botters, but that quickly changed once people programmed their bots to be able to complete their mini challenges. Initially jagex was going to remove them, but I believe they stayed in by popular vote.
It's so entertaining watching newer players Can't wait until you get to some real bossing (try scurrius early on for a bit of fun and xp) and minigames like Barbarian Assault Also tempoross is another fun skilling boss thats based on fishing, definitely try that out
There is a bank at the Fishing Trawler though, so even if you forget to take the money, you can get it from the bank there. The minigame teleport has a 20 minute cooldown.
This is so pure! He finishes RFD and didnt even mention Barrows Gloves but mentioned ingredients he could buy.

yeah "new beginnings" always means "hey lets min-max and skip early game and half mid game!"
those random events aren't used for bot hunting anymore. But it USED to be the case like 20 years ago. Now you get exp lamps as reward for many of them if you have gotten all rewards they have to offer, which is why you should do those specific ones.
Wait, really? I've been playing since 2005 and I just dismiss them all because I thought you just get dupes of mime outfits and camo clothes 😂

Safe spotting bosses is really only a thing in early game quests and for slayer monsters. It’s a charming feature, but don’t you worry! The game ramps up in difficulty starting at the fight caves (jad) and much more so with content up until the inferno (zuk). There will be monsters that you safespot from time to time, but none of them will be actual bosses and often times there are other mechanics like prayer switching you’ll have to worry about from the safespot.
Anyways, I enjoyed the vid! Good luck on your journey :)
"Starting at the fight caves"... I've got my quest cape and haven't been to fight caves yet 😂

I’m laughing so hard tn 😂 thanks for that
Also, watching noobs be noobs is so great cause you get to see someone make the same mistakes, and creating the same fun memories that you did like 20 years ago.

Its this reason that i like to watch new people quest
RS quests can be so good

You could have taken a charter ship from Port Sarim right to Catherby. Once your magic level is high enough, you can teleport to Camelot which is right between Seer's Village and Catherby.
By the way, I really recommend not skipping dialogue. Not only is the dialogue in the game entertaining and worth reading, but you often get key details from it, as you figured out here.
And as for safespotting, early bosses like this can be safespotted, but that mechanic stops being feasible for bosses by mid-game. By then you should have the "protect from" spells for magic, ranged, and melee, and have to make use of those protection prayers. Then in upper mid game you have to learn how to switch prayers during a fight, then by late game you're precisely flicking prayers since most late-game bosses will switch attack types multiple times every second or so. THEN by endgame, you're doing that while dodging attacks by moving and sometimes doing other mechanics, like clicking specific equipment slots to parry attacks. The skill ceiling is quite high.
Yep ive definitely been reading more, there some really funny dialogue in this game lol. Like "No Shirt Sherlock" I came across haha.
Also nice to know there will be more challenge later on!
I'm an "experienced" osrs player. I've played the game off and on for years mostly f2p. But yours and Karadus' content as WoW players trying OSRS is some of my favorite right now. I just found your 3rd video and had to start from the beginning. Can't wait for more
This has been great content, watched this one and the previous RS video. I still enjoy WoW but Runescape has this sort of great feeling while playing so I enjoy both quite a bit and it's been very fresh seeing your experience in this since I also come from that kind of mmorpg background too. I think what I like about RS the most is it doesn't necessarily feel like it's "pushing me" in any direction and I sort of just end up doing a bit of whatever.
Hey just a tip, there's an option in the banking section of runelite that lets you use your keyboard to type in your bank pin. Would be useful so you dont have to blur it out in your video and its honestly just a lot faster because you don't need to look at all the buttons changing hahaha.
love seeing new players start their RuneScape journey, cant wait to see you progress through all the stages from Noob to hopefully PVM God, congrats on your wedding mate :)
got my sub keep it up! We osrs players enjoy watching others learn our game and have fun along the way
Keep up the good work! I love seeing you learn the game!
Love this series, a couple of advice:
- Train your agility, it makes your run energy charge faster
- Do Fairy Tale pt.1 and start pt. 2 quests, it will unlock a ton of free teleports (fairy rings) all over the world
- Train your combat levels (eg. with higher magic you can teleport to a lot of locations), questing is fun but it is much easier when you are beefier
- Train your prayer (bury bones), with 43 you get all the protection prayers and can basically nullify most of the damage from normal mobs
Keep up the good work! ♥
Subbed! I hope you keep making videos on your journey through OSRS. I left a pretty lengthy comment on your last video, but didn’t realize it was already a month old (just watched it before this one).
Based off your reaction to demon slayer, can’t wait for you to get to some of the other quests!! There’s so much, I’m so excited for you to experience this game fresh. Woo!
Thanks for the sub! I'll definitely be making this an ongoing series so stay tuned ;D
10:00 yes there is! Just pickpocket some money like 30gp or so, run to Rimmington, and take the Captain’s ship to Ardougne. I hope you found Death’s coffer also however (multiple places to get to Death)
Watching newbs play RuneScape reminds me of playing for the first time so it's just something I can empathize with. We all have had the shared experience of dying far away from lumbridge and running back to our grave lol. FYI there's a tunnel between Camelot/Catherby and Taverly that you can unlock by doing the fishing competition quest.
For me, as someone who's played runscape for almost twenty years now, It's about trying to capture that feeling of the past, by watching someone whos new.
YES, bro make a series. with ep.1 - ~, I will watch the whole thing
Evil dave shall never die ! He is so evil even the grim reaper is scared of him !
You don't need to stand behind NPCs to pickpocket them, it has no bearing on success rate. There is only 1 that it matters, and that is a part of a quest.
ardy diary gives u a global buff to pickpocketing
Didn't soup or solo test this and show better rates from behind lol
@@d0onut If they did there are probably other factors that made them feel like there was a difference, but this came straight from Mod Ash that it doesn't do anything for success rates.
Oh weird, I felt like I had more success when I was behind them 😅
@@yhonas That was same for me too as a newbie.
Mind can play funny tricks on you.
One way to get through the mountain is to do the Fishing Contest quest, it unlocks a dwarf tunnel that bypasses the monsters
As a longtime player, videos like this warm my heart. Glad to see osrs bringing in new players still
A few things:
Congrats on the marriage!
1. Only do the special events that give xp rewards, Jagex will not think you are a boy.
2. Definitely do the new Varlamore thieving method, blackjacking is awful.
3. You're going to want to train magic to unlock teleport spells. These are essential for getting around the game. There is a Camelot teleport which brings you right next to catherby. It also unlocks combat spells which will be useful for your first bossing adventure at Barrows!
4. Dragon axes chop logs at a faster rate than any other axes.
5. Constantly look things up on the wiki, this will vastly expand your game knowledge
MOREEE. I wanna see the progress up to end game :) Also use minigames teleports (in the Grouping tab at the bottom) to get around early game, its a 30 minute cooldown but that passes by fast when you're doing stuff here and there until your magic is higher. GZ on the wedding as well!
Tip: turn on the GPU plugin, you can change the render distance within the settings, handy for clicking and seeing a bit further! Love the vids!
congrats on the marriage! Love the content so far as well.
You explaining your group name was required for me, and it’s great lol
at 50 thieving you unlock access to varlamore thieving which i personally find to be the most fun way to get experiance in the stat as i also hate pickpocketing, its about breaking into rich peoples houses and stealing valuables from then and is very entertaining. one big tip i have is to get monkey madness 1 done as it has massive exp rewards in combat, also dont overlook farming as its one of the most useful skills especially on an ironman to get herbs to make yourself potions. good luck on the journey
Thanks! Ahh ok didnt know what the varlamore thieving was, my friends have mentioned it. Ill def start farming soon once I learn a bit more about it lol
@@yhonasthe guide will get your farming sorted (early game it's tedious AF to get the supplies), but I don't think it's been updated after varlamore was released. Go check it out with your group once it tells you to do black jacking or when you get bored of doing it.
A really big upgrade for early ironmen is doing the Ardougne Easy Diary. You get a reward called the Ardougne cloak 1 which gives you unlimited teleports to the Ardougne Monastery. It's a great teleport to that half of the map before you get the materials together for jewlery & magic spell teleports.
To skip white wolf mountain, there's an easy quest called Fishing Contest which unlocks a passge to go under the mountain. It's better to do it sooner on your account because you'll eventually unlock teleports that are better than the passage under the mountain.
You experienced something on ice wolf mountain that was ubiquitous for us playing back in the early 2000s, which is totally avoidable nowadays. It's actually something quite nice to see.
recipe for disaster is a solid starting questline. but im excited to see you do the 5 grandmaster quests. also runelite is amazing... you could get quest helper if you havent tried it yet. also there is a load of great teleports you unlock.
Ardy cloak is an incredible upgrade for early game ironmen - basically gives you easy access to that side of the continent.
Good luck on your way to barrows gloves, fire cape, fighter torso, and ancient magicks! There are many many adventures ahead :D
Can't wait to see your reaction to seeing mid and end-game bossing content. You're going to love it.
It is plenty of fun watching new players in the game make similar mistakes that we made in the past. If you complete The Fishing Contest, you are given access to an underground pass that goes right through white wolf mountain. Another thing to know is that the cheap easy to replace stuff still towards the start of the account is easy to buy back from Death's Domain.
to get from lumbride to catherby
1. walk from lumbridge to edgeville
2. Bank all your items
3. walk to the ruin south of the edgeville bank
4. pull the red lever on the wall (This teleports you to the deep wilderness, where PVP is enabled. hence the banking your items)
5. Pull the red lever on the wall, it's right next to where you got teleported to.
6. You're now in ardougne, Walk north east to go to catherby
Alternatively, get 45 magic and teleport to camelot, then walk south east.
Honestly, if you could post your stats or your team’s stats per video, people could give more specific advice. Also, as a long time RuneScape player, seeing number go up=good.
Being able unlock traversal options within the game is definitely one way to improve your QOL.
This includes but not limited to:
Fairy rings
Teleportation spells (depending on your magic level)
Jewelry teleportation( ie:duel ring, games necklace, etc.)
-there are many more niche and specific ways to get to certain areas in the map but the above list cover alot of the areas you might frequent when starting out.
Thank you for continuing to give this game a chance.
I'm sure its been mentioned already but getting the ardy cloak early game is essential for ironman travels. Its doing the ardougne achievement diaries. With that and the chronical it makes travel a lot nicer.
Update I just got to the part where you talked about the cloak. You got it, gl gl.
Probably some of the easiest ways to get over and around that mountain early on are unlocking the level for camelot teleport, using the charter ships, or using the non-charter ships in port sarim to go to karamja, then going from brimhaven to ardougne. There's also using the edgeville lever twice that briefly puts you in the wilderness, but will get you from Edgeville to Ardougne basically instantly. If you continue the HAM questline as well it has a really great way to get low-mid level jewelry for teleports.
Oh shoot ya know what I didnt even think of the port sarim to karamja, then back to ardougne. Ive taken that route a few times now, I was kinda in panic mode cause I was on a 15 min timer lol
please make this a series. Also congrats on your marriage!
A lot of people want to hold the space bar during quests when they have the runelite plugin; but osrs lore is top tier comedy sometimes.
there are actually two methods you could have used to get to Catherby quicker:
1. Teleport to Camelot (45 magic required) and run south
2. Take the ship from rimmington to Ardougne and run east (still way faster than walking over that damn mountain)
Hope it will help you in the future.
Additionally, there are two other methods...
Pull the lever in Edgeville, then pull it again in the wildy to get to Ardougne
Complete easy Ardougne achievement diary for a cape that teleports you to the monestery below Ardougne
Shoot my magic is just under that - 43 lol
Also dont you need gold to take a ship? All my money was on my body XD
@@yhonas There is also safe passage under the mountines from Taverley to Catherby, which you can use after you finish Fishing contest quest :)
@@yhonas you can fletch some long bows/short bows (without the string, so it says unfinished x bow. x being the type of wood like oak etc) and sell those to a general store for enough gold to take a ship if you lose your money again in the future. Just need an axe and a knife
Since he unlocked spirit trees this episode can also spirit tree from Grand Exchange to Tree Gnome Village, you're overshooting it quite a bit but you don't have to deal with the aggressive wolves
Don't have anything in your inventory when you do this. You can pull the lever in edgeville to take you to the deep wilderness and then pull it again to take you to ardougne near the castle. There is also a cheap boat in rimmington that can take you to ardougne. At lvl 15 fishing you can use the fishing trawler minigame teleport to port khazard.
The tome of fire is very good. getting unlucky on the Tome from wintertodt is a source of frustration for many players, so getting it early is extra lucky to most
Whoever told you you need to do random events is trolling you btw, you wont get flagged for botting by not doing them.
Good to know 😅
@@yhonas But the genie, Count Check, and Dunce (Imp) ones are worth doing as they give EXP lamps :)
@@skilldove The ones that give cosmetic items too, because they'll eventually start giving lamps too.
@@yhonas Doing the Maze random event (Mysterious old man) is also really good for ironman supplies, such as arrows, runes, and coins.
@Sliacen good to know! I'll keep an eye out for it
Do read as much quest dialogue as you can afford to, they are all packed with personality and humour that really make this game stand out in a way not many others can. GL friend!
Loving these videos! Are you a big endgame WoW raider? If so, I'm really hoping someday we get to see you fight Verzik Vitur in the Theatre of Blood raid, or Sol Heredit the champion of the Colosseum
In such a meta fueled game it is honestly so refreshing to watch someone play who doesn’t really know wtf they’re doing 😂. And I mean that with tons of love and encouragement. Keep em coming!
minigame tele to fishing trawler maybe? still a big run from there, looking forward to the new vids
4:55 we will come back to that eventually... oh boy yes you will ^^
Early game most teleports really comes from magic spells, spirit trees are great but not that useful by themselves, but once you'll add ardougne cloak and fairy rings you'll be able to go nearly everywhere in no time !
Consider trying RS3 next, I'd love to see your take on it from the unique background of fresh OSRS player + veteran WoW player!
@@JerkWarlord I actually am really interested to try it, my friends don't like it very much so they always tell me how bad it is lol.
@@yhonas As someone who plays both games, RS3 is probably the harder game to get into. The new player experience needs a shitload of work, and it's true that it's kind of overrun by MTX. There's things it does better, too, though, and there is a very vocal portion of the OSRS community that just shit talks it 24/7 for the meme when they've given it little to no shot in several years. A lot of what are or were peoples' biggest complaints have improved significantly.
The launch of EoC was a disaster. A year or so later, legacy combat mode was released (it's literally OSRS combat). It's not as viable as EoC except niche situations, but it is there now. Revo was also released a year later -- It's essentially OSRS-gameplay combat, with abilities (the game triggers them automatically for you). Last year, we got Necromancy, which might as well be EoC 2.0... in all the good ways -- It is supremely intuitive.
MTX is a far more volatile bear. We've had ups and downs; There was a battle pass system for a while that people... tolerated, called Yak Track. Most of the community preferred it to TH about 100 times over. And at times it seemed to keep the more insane TH stuff at bay. On the flipside, last year they tried a new battle pass system, Hero Pass, and broke the trust thermocline. Huge swathes of players left -- *that* was EoC 2.0 in a very *different* sense.
Now... Hero Pass was heavily nerfed almost immediately and now that it's over will not be brought back, and we haven't had a battle pass at all in almost a year, since Hero Pass. TH is still here, but there's been several months of particularly outstanding content updates alongside it. Scrapping Hero Pass cost the game a lot of already-invested devtime for the first half of 2024, so it was a little dry, but since returning to running on full cylinders the team has put out banger after banger.
I'm not saying the playerbase fully trusts Jagex won't "do some fuck shit" again -- I quit after HP and only came back with this year's stream of back to back banger content updates and I certainly am still bracing for "the fuckening," but I also can't deny that I AM enjoying the game right now.
Which leads me to my point: Worst case scenario, Jagex IS gearing up for "some fuck shit." If they are, the best time to try RS3 would probably be before it -- i.e. now. You've been enjoying quests on OSRS; RS3 has a shitload more of them, and, I'll be frank; RS3 does lore better than OSRS, without question. Every content update has a story. None of that "There's a big fuckoff spider over there. Go kill it." without explanation -- not anymore. OSRS still does that all the time, there's a lot of updates with minimal to no lore or story.
There's also no forced engagement in PKing on RS3. If you like PKing that's fine, but if you're just trying to go through the Wilderness to play other content RS3 lets you do that safely if you choose. It's one of many many QoL updates that RS3 has over OSRS. Some that even a significant portion of the OSRS playerbase itself genuinely believes should port over to OSRS -- Things like the toolbelt and the money pouch and bank presets. I can't tell you how much I miss those things when I go play OSRS.
RS3 also has a much healthier economy than OSRS does. There's a singular massive item sink for essentially every item in the game in the form of a skill -- Invention. That keeps items flowing in and out of the game much more; Little ever gets oversaturated, and even gear far lower than the current BiS will still be in demand and therefore actually worth something. Flipside, Invention is also the singular biggest buff to any account ever, so it's inherently worth the trouble sinking a shitload of items.
Consider it! Think about it. And if you do try RS3... please make a video on it too! Maybe you could even convince your GIMPman mode teammates to give it an earnest shot... GIM is coming to RS3 soon, so you'd have the opportunity soon enough.
Getting up your prayer level might be a good one, the protection prayers you can activate can offer alot of help. (Bones on wildy altar, your friends will know).
newbies doing stuff is alot cooler to watch than watching some high end player
Fishing trawler minigame teleport is a nice way to get to the ardy side of the game. Also very close teleport to a bank if you need it. It does have a minute timer though.
I saw someone reacting to your video, the moment I saw the title of the video he was watcning, I clicked out searched you up. And here I am
These videos are perfect lol 😂 keep em coming brother.
Something you may wish to do is find a way to get prayer up. A common way is to use magic spells on safe spot Lava dragons in the wilderness and bury their bones. You can bury lava dragon bones on the lava dragon isle where they spawn to get bonus xp so its not a bad way to train mage and prayer, though you indeed are at a decent risk of getting killed by Players so don't bring all that much in there.
A less risky way would be to go without anything, to the locations where big bones spawn in the wilderness, get an inventory (and optionally fill the looting bag which is easy to get), and take it to the wilderness altar on the middle/upper left area of the wilderness for 350% xp and 50% chance to not consume the bones. Getting at least 43 prayer for all 3 protection prayers is huge.
Your Ardy cape will be your quickest tele to the Catherby side of the map until you unlock the Camelot teleport spell at lvl 45 Magic.
Right now you could use the Spirit Tree in the GE to Tree Gnome Stronghold which is a safer route than White Wolf Mountain but, is still pretty long.
you can ignore the randoms those people telling you the game will think you're a bot are just people who haven't played in 10 years. it was a a botting detection system in like 2005. doesn't matter anymore some of them give you really good rewards mainly the dunce (red imp) and the old man when he gives you a maze random. (gives you a lot of chaos runes/death runes based on your combat level. 500 chaos/deaths if you're over like 100 combat
Oh wow, so probably still worth talking to them anyways 😅
@@yhonas others also give cosmetic items that are nice to have
Congrats on the wedding man! Also thieving hot tip, your chance of failing a pickpocket is exactly the same if you’re behind or directly facing the NPC.
Subbed and patiently waiting for the next upload😂
dude i am in tears i love this
Now that you know about Shift clicking to drop, its time to learn the Menu entry swapper plugin, letting you choose what options are left click and shift left click and more for each individual item. Don't want to bury bones on accident, swap it so Left click is use, Want to always drop items during a grind, left click is now drop. Its great.
Also, Good news, they are talking about reworking Wintertodt so its damage wont scale based on your max hp anymore.
You’ll probably learn them soon but there is ALLOT of ways to travel around the map in this game teleports , fairy rings , spirit trees , items , boats , canoes , jewelry , random levers , magic carpets there’s pretty much a teleport anywhere in the game some way or another
If you want to get somewhere the wiki has info on it and then you might need something to unlock that transportation method which requires a quest or something that’s the rabbit hole of this game
No one will think of you as a bot if you ignore random events, but you should still do most of them as they can give you nice rewards :-) Also I noticed your chat has a lot of drop notifications for items like bones, you can adjust the value an item needs to be to notify your group of the drop along many other tweaks you can do! Hope you have a nice time in oldschool runescape
omg hes so lucky!!!!! i miss the not knowing...
someone tell this man about the Ardougne Cloak!!! unlimited teleports to ardougne side of the map for completing the Ardougne easy diary set of tasks.
edit: not two seconds after I made this comment, you mentioned it was in your gameplan. whoops
3:52 PLEASE tell me youre using the RFD gloves. Thats the whole reason tk do RFD. The best in slot gloves item!
Rfd isn't the quest that everything in runescape leads up to, what you were told isnt true. its a big quest and is involved with a lot of storylines but it is by no means the main quest or what everything else is leading up to. its very good to get done and unlocks some exceptional gloves once done, but theres lots of other, unrelated quests to it to do as well.
you can use a plugin to use numpad to type your bank pin so you dont have to blur it.
Ignoring random encounters won't flag your account as a bot. Many years ago when they were introduced they were a valuable metric to catch botters, but that quickly changed once people programmed their bots to be able to complete their mini challenges.
Initially jagex was going to remove them, but I believe they stayed in by popular vote.
In the port next to draynor the last boat offers you travel for gp to any other port in this case cath
Def keep making these vids bro would like to see u get into end game Tob
him dismissing that imp hurt me
Amazing video bro
It's so entertaining watching newer players
Can't wait until you get to some real bossing (try scurrius early on for a bit of fun and xp) and minigames like Barbarian Assault
Also tempoross is another fun skilling boss thats based on fishing, definitely try that out
already not paying attention to the story of quests. Becoming a true osrs player indeed :)
Do the fishing contest quest, very short quest gives fishing xp and acess to the underground passage thru the white wolf mountain
Started it! Just gotta finish it up, sucks I had to learn the hard way lol.
Congrats! 🎉
Lol that death run had me rolling.
.. please tell me showing your Bank Pin was a joke and you changed it 😂
wait did you just show your bank pin in the first minute of the vid? lol
I KNOW I forgot to cut that XD Just blurred it over
Use your Fishing Trawler minigame teleport and charter a ship to Catherby; costs like 40 seconds, but you need 15 fishing and like 1,6k
There is a bank at the Fishing Trawler though, so even if you forget to take the money, you can get it from the bank there. The minigame teleport has a 20 minute cooldown.
