30 Ranged and I unlock Herblore and Fletching - Skill Guided #11

[@FrankGlymes]

What is with me and Red Topaz's... Thanks for watching legends!

[@UntouchableSSB]

I would watch 100 videos of you crushing red topazes, it's like the best content on the internet.

[@FrankGlymes]

Hahaha the pain in my voice is so grim

[@K16711]

I can't believe red topazes from boxes is a thing? That is absolutely absurd. Hope you find more of these obscure features this was an interesting one for sure.

[@FrankGlymes]

Yeah this is crazy, glad I ticked it off the bucket list haha

[@clairevoyantarachnea]

Red topaz- the true antagonist of this series.

[@FrankGlymes]

Final boss vibes

[@Toptoughy]

Actually awestruck at this red topaz journey lmaooo dudee no way

[@FrankGlymes]

Haha it's a wild ride, didn't want to make another title about Red Topaz's but it's a meme at this point

[@Haerdalas]

The Red Topaz will never stop being your nemesis. Somehow, you will one day be nearly maxed and still hunting for red topazes.

[@FrankGlymes]

I'll be crushing gems forever haha

[@nicolaeileen4197]

It’s dark for you because your lantern is technically one candle, if you carry 3 lit candles it will be at max brightness and solve the issue ❤

[@FrankGlymes]

I had no idea about this!

[@kezron88]

You explaining the entire route in the beginning was the best part

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks mate! I've had similar comments and think myself sometimes that when I don't explain it, everything may seem a bit chaotic! I'll do a theory dive at the start of each episode from now on!

[@crystalcvt]

love the planning that has to go into this series. I used to plan grinds all the time as a kid and get the math down to the exact number of pickpockets I had to do, or monsters I had to fight... I'd never actually do the grinds though. this is the perfect combination of very doable grinds, and tons of planning!

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks legend, I was the exact same! Maybe it's why I'm loving the series :)

[@insectisland]

just wanted to let you know that this is my favorite OSRS series on KZbin :) it's so wholesome!! i watch it most nights before I fall asleep, making progress about 10 minutes at a time (given so many views by this point lol), and it's actually really helped me through a difficult period in my life, so thank you & please keep the series going all the way to the max cape!!

[@FrankGlymes]

That is such a nice comment to read, thank you! Though I'm sorry you've been going through a difficult period, I'll make sure to keep going!!

[@CeruleanSpider]

Started rewatching this series after stopping last episode and I fuckin' knew you'd crush the first red topaz you got from the crates, called it. Curse of the Red Topaz, so funny as well as being miserable.

[@FrankGlymes]

That's so cool you're rewatching it haha I'm a master of crushing a topaz

[@Chealder]

To cut or not to cut. The greatest question in life. I never thought a red topaz could give souch suspense

[@FrankGlymes]

Absolutely, it's been the unexpected bane of my existence haha

[@tiltmasterflex7220]

I dunno what was more crushed, those Red Topaz or you

[@FrankGlymes]

Absolutely, probably me haha hope you enjoyed

[@guapking1000]

Man the smile on my face when I saw that another vid of this series dropped on my FYP. Legend

[@FrankGlymes]

You're the legend! Thanks for watching!!

[@Potatezone]

I don't know if you're going to encounter another grind like this, but if you need to spam click like that in the future, I'd suggest turning on mouse keys. The shortcut is Alt + Shift + Numlock, and it allows you to move your mouse with your numpad and- more importantly- click with the 5 and enter keys. It's a lot easier on the fingers!

[@FrankGlymes]

Ohhhhhh! Handy tip! Thank you! I literally changed to an old mouse and just went nuts on it haha My hand/finger was a bit sore after

[@AnUncleanHippy]

Fahkin huuuuuuuuuuge mate. I can't imagine how devo you were about the red topaz though.

[@FrankGlymes]

Super devo haha it was painful

[@sonuvvabith]

'That seems shit' - New favorite reaction irl. Keep up the great work, legend 💪

[@FrankGlymes]

😂😂 glad you enjoyed it! Thanks mate!

[@lordjosh3]

Amazing, just finished binge watching the entire series this weekend and out pops the next episode. Love the videos mate, it's an awesome series!

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks legend!! Appreciate that you binged it that's awesome!

[@DanielHatchman]

Skill guided's worst enemy. A pink gem. 😂 I can not believe this!

[@DanielHatchman]

You literally couldn't script that crap!

[@FrankGlymes]

Absolutely not! I was in disbelief haha

[@strikefield3824]

Pity about the red topaz's the suspense when you were cutting them was unreal!

[@FrankGlymes]

Haha hope you enjoyed it mate!

[@Danielroest]

I saw the 1/1000 red topaz on Reddit and immediately thought of you!

[@FrankGlymes]

Love that from you!

[@jenaf4208]

Yeah time for some chill guided.

[@FrankGlymes]

Hope you enjoyed/chilled out!

[@Ectograss]

30:47 the scream I scrumpt at the chips part LMAO 😭

[@FrankGlymes]

😂😂 glad you enjoyed! I speak such nonsense at times haha!

[@RoseOfTheDawn]

THE RED TOPAZ STRIKES AGAIN

[@FrankGlymes]

Thrice!

[@alynnidalar]

Saw the reddit post and IMMEDIATELY thought of you!

[@FrankGlymes]

Yesss legend! The red topaz lore is mine haha

[@GaybrohamStinkton]

Flank is an fan of Mind Goblins.

[@FrankGlymes]

Not today buddy!

[@carldawson1]

It's a new year, a new day. a nd Skillguided is back! With hardcore status still intact. EDIT: This is still the best snowflake account. Both the account itself and the idea. It's so perfect

[@FrankGlymes]

Really appreciate this! Thank you! Some scary stuff for the status next episode I think! Regardless of the hardcore status though the account will continue no matter what :)

[@Graive17]

This red topaz grind had to be the funniest adventure I've seen in looong time. I think skipping the necklace is much deserved after crushing so many gems 😂

[@FrankGlymes]

I'm glad it was good entertainment hahaha It was a great chapter of the series!

[@Graive17]

@@FrankGlymes This is my first time watching anything related to you, and this series is pure fucking gold. Glad I stumbled upon you!

[@deathstrike369]

The crushed gem crushed you

[@FrankGlymes]

Absolutely 😂😂

[@anonopossum]

saw the red topaz box thing just earlier from limpwurt and immediately thought of this account

[@FrankGlymes]

I'm becoming the Red Topaz guy that's for sure hahaha

[@hollisterlasers-ion8939]

Oh god. The red topaz debacle is horrifying to watch.

[@FrankGlymes]

It's beed a ride

[@strawhatbunny6149]

i saw the post on the subreddit and instantly thought of you lol

[@FrankGlymes]

Love that!! Happy to be the red topaz guy haha

[@Lonelupin]

The more I think about it, the more I realize if the level up system actually made sense, 80% of the gameplay of RS would change completely.

[@FrankGlymes]

Absolutely correct, the relationships between all of the skills and level up system does not work currently - as I've experienced multiple times haha

[@Machinist_2]

Nice video again man! I might try that red topaz method cuz I can’t get to gem rocks yet, lol. 😂 😂😂 - Machinist_2

[@FrankGlymes]

Oh god! Good luck with that haha Surely a better way!

[@Hedgehogking5]

Wooo! So excited to see what’s next!

[@FrankGlymes]

Me too, loving this series!

[@mahdinner]

Crushing the topaz. Hooooooow baaaaaaad!

[@FrankGlymes]

😂😂😂

[@anonopossum]

for those dark areas bring multiple lanterns and it'll be brighter, 3 or 4 i think is the max

[@FrankGlymes]

Wait, what?!! I never knew this!!

[@SpiteOSRS]

theres a wardrobe you can search for a red topaz too. I recently watched a video about it, but I cant remember. Ill try to recall

[@FrankGlymes]

All good! There's actually a map on the wiki of all the places it works

[@celtich]

For that torture you more than deserve that like dude 🤣 loved the video!

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)

[@richardwilliamson3040]

Hasn't it now been discovered that you can repeatably search a variety of storage containers and you'll eventually get a red topaz?

[@FrankGlymes]

Yep! That's why I did it haha

[@redletter007]

I thought of you when I saw the topaz post on 2007scape

[@FrankGlymes]

Love that from you! Thanks legend!

[@tpotshax8703]

After the fossil island goal you should aim to complete shilo village so you can just mine gem rocks directly dammit.

[@FrankGlymes]

Watch this space!

[@Elleander1]

Mind is officially blown

[@FrankGlymes]

Yeah it's a ridiculous thing to have in the game, but I love it

[@sylv5586]

You should only need to start icthlarian's little helper for pyramid plunder unless they changed it as soon as you get into the city during the quest you can enter pyramid plunder

[@FrankGlymes]

Yes I think you're correct - to start it I need Gertrude's Cat completed - will have to check my Cooking XP allowance haha Currently I can level to 31 and that unlocks Fishcake - so I might be starting RFD. Though the Fishcake quest in RFD requires 42 Crafting for a Fishbowl... so will have to revisit this after I do some Crafting quests/unlocks in the next episode!

[@Hedgehogking5]

These damn red topaz are evil.

[@FrankGlymes]

Absolutely!

[@jzipsRS]

The crushed topaz oh my god no hahaha

[@FrankGlymes]

Red Topaz's can get in the bin hahaha Thanks for watching legend

[@MainEC-]

ANOTHER SKILL GUIDED? WOO

[@FrankGlymes]

Time off over Xmas/New Year was good for the progress!

[@saw1833]

I mean, you DID do the action of "cutting" a red topaz, and got XP for it, so surely that counts?

[@FrankGlymes]

This time I needed to make a Necklace with it though haha

[@saw1833]

@@FrankGlymes you may need to invoke the rights of KZbinr/Streamer luck. Luckily I think that only requires sacrificing your second born to the Jagex gods!

[@djgray3393]

Should try using more than one light source in lumbridge cave. You’ll see better 3 is best

[@benjiboy1337]

9:55 oh hey it's me

[@FrankGlymes]

Legend!

[@Ragellian]

Such bad luck with the topaz. did you know you can take multiple light sources and the light they give stacks? 3 candles is better than 1 for example

[@FrankGlymes]

A couple of comments mentioned this and I genuinely had no idea!!! Thanks :)

[@AnonymousMiner2]

Good content thanks man

[@FrankGlymes]

Thank you!

[@Xinderkan]

26:30 I'm confused, why do you no longer have to do the red topaz?

[@FrankGlymes]

I did, I just got the topaz through a weird method once but went on the unlock them properly so I could do the unlocks

[@Unrealtopgap]

This series is goated

[@FrankGlymes]

Maaate thank you so much!

[@dagger1331]

I wonder what was xp/h on the crushed gems?

[@FrankGlymes]

Wish I checked but it would've been abysmal haha

[@o90op00]

You could use another account to cut dense forest for the gem Rock and mine it on this one 🤷‍♂️

[@FrankGlymes]

I did use an alt for a few venom-related methods earlier on - I guess I could've done that with the Gem Rock, so you can just steal other people's gem rocks?

[@dagger1331]

Wouldn't it had been better to do the lower-tier jungles? I feel that medium jungles might've given a better chance.

[@FrankGlymes]

I thought there may have been a difference too but straight from the wiki "The chance for an event to happen is not dependent on successfully cutting jungle, jungle type, or machete used"@@dagger1331

[@dagger1331]

@@FrankGlymes But you would've gained lower xp rates, giving more time.

[@FrankGlymes]

Ahh true I guess, I think at times I was doing whatever jungle was close to me, but non of this will matter come the next episode ;)@@dagger1331

[@Lollaksyotuube]

They patched it before Leagues already, I was going to use it :(

[@FrankGlymes]

Ahhhh damn, that sucks!

[@MusIc-xo1kh]

Start a crush gem collection 😂

[@FrankGlymes]

Well underway haha

[@meatwad515]

Sorry I was right about the wise old man task. Was hoping it just didn’t work in leagues 😂

[@FrankGlymes]

Haha thanks for the tip off though! You're an absolute legend, it was cool to get new tasks though

[@lowkey1202]

Could have also panned for the red topaz at the dig site

[@FrankGlymes]

The Dig Site is part of my major goal atm, I can't get there and do the quest until I do some Herb levels. Guess I could've started the quest and done it halfway? Not sure. Either way need some thieving levels to start

[@lowkey1202]

I believe you can pan even without the quest done you just need a cup of tea, definitely worth trying

[@FrankGlymes]

The wiki says panning for gold only rewards Opals and Jades, not Topaz's. Do you have a reference for the Topaz's from Digsite panning?@@lowkey1202

[@lowkey1202]

Haha I guess I was wrong always though it have topaz

[@MattMeetsma]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FrankGlymes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@DrPippy]

honestly I feel like you should maybe space these out. When you gotta dig up ridiculous progression methods it might be worth it to save some vids for a bi-weekly release as something to put out for when you get another massive grind to work on

[@FrankGlymes]

A good point! I had some time off over the Xmas/NY period so had time to work on the account/editing more. This is definitely slowing down now that I'm back at work, so will likely be doing fortnightly vids on this account, and a different vid in the off week. Hope you enjoyed the episode though!

[@dagger1331]

However I think these videos are long enough.

[@essanbessan334]

yoooo nice
