A complete guide to Keybinds | Runescape 3 2019

So many words could be said how important this was but... its fundamental, easy to follow, great benefit and extremely effective

[@pizzafacesuperleipoman8634]

how does it work? I assigned things to the keys but when I press the key (F) it just enters FFFFFFFFF in chat

[@tegantravis7100]

There is a setting where you can push enter to chat I don’t remember how to turn it on did it a long time ago

[@tunod-]

A useful tip for people who use a mouse with only 2 side buttons. Make one side button act as an ALT key and the other as a SHIFT key. Makes your life easier (=

Thanks ❤

[@giovanniyoussef1048]

Everytime i think i'm getting decent at pvm i see videos like this and realize how far i have to go lol

[@davidyang5131]

Yeah I just started doing higher level bosses and I’m trying to learn manual or 4taa and my eyes are just looking straight down at the ability bar lol.

[@davidyang5131]

After a month. Fuck 4taa. Go melee lol

[@j4l777]

You just changed the game for me with this video. I’ve been playing for years and I’ve half-cheeked my way with pvm which caused me to fall below the curve as new bosses came out which required accuracy and dedication to learning/practicing. Now I’m really putting the effort into learning and this video was exactly what I needed to get better so thank you! You’ve gained a fan for life!

This makes me want to use manual over revolution finally. Thank you for this!

JUST bought a new PC and had to re-map my keybinds since I was going from trackpad to mouse. Thanks so much, perfect timing.

[@Dy_Lon67]

How has it gone? I'm in the same boat. I've just built a pc and bought nearly the same mouse. Also came from a laptop and trackpad. I hope you had great results.

As a returning player, this is the MOST helpful thing I've seen so far!! Thanks man. I also need to get into the dps guides, etc.

@@xDelta7x if u wanna do end game stuff and improve overall... meh, players kinda have to

[@wasabeininja]

@@whotfdis okay, improving once you've ironed out all the easy things which help (eg better gear) does usually involve starting to work on the harder things which also give a boost (switches, 4taa etc). It's the same with all things in life, not just RuneScape. If you don't want to get to the best of the best you don't need to do this, you can comfortably do all bosses in the game on laid-back Revo, it's been proven plenty of times

[@Abdul-vb3vw]

[@TheLostPizzaman]

I was always so intimidated by higher level bossing so I've stuck mostly to all the God Wars Dungeon 1 bosses including Nex and Corporeal Beast. Your channel helped me overcome that intimidation and made the daunting task of killing the newer bosses seem more reasonable.

[@Zaxynn]

April 15, 2023 Thanks for the video. It is a great first time or as for me refresher of exactly how do you do that again.

[@ellisroe6527]

I guess I'm just incompetent, but I've never been able to reliably use alt/ctrl/shift + other keys with rs3. 50% of the time, I end up just hitting the key without the alt, or both actions take place when I only wanted the one. I've tried to practice this, but I just can't do them with high enough accuracy. There are so many key-binds you need to have for pvm, without the combo binds it is difficult.

[@Robin-ue6py]

more then a year later.. but i've finally followed this guide. Now the hardest part.. getting used to it.. Thanks for the good Guide!

[@itsbind]

Thanks for the guide. I am terrible with PVM but this guide makes me feel a bit more confident in taking on bosses. I play as a mid-tier Ironman (base 70+) and haven't done much bossing.

[@JeffZuccMusk]

Ty so much :D I got some great ideas even though I'm a noob Surge = 1 (1 step ahead) Escape = 2 (two steps back) XD just like you have I like to use S for soulsplit D = devotion A = anticipation F = freedom 4 5 6 for deflects pretty fun to plan these tbh. Was so confusing at first

[@LuvKumarcanabis]

The only thing i like about you is because you put videos like this when i need it the most . Just got the trinity and was looking on how maximise the use of it. Thanks a lot for the vids.. keep up the good work . these things are very small but very important so yeah thanks :)

[@captainwetbeard]

Thank you for this, my action bars and keybinds are due for an update now that I'm learning to pvm!

[@Guilopes99]

Just returning to RS3 after 1 year break and loving your channel! Would be cool to have a "DPS Advanced Guide" from you where you'd explain every little trick in the book concerning abilities, stalls and other tricks people know from speed kills!

[@vinceagashi1121]

Me personally, I put all of my defensives on my mouse side-keys, all centered around the shield switch, meaning that I simply hit the shield switch and move my thumb in a specific direction for a specific ability. I then have 4 switches on the far corner numbers, my main weapons on the corners closer to me, and misc switches on the numbers farthest from me.

[@scope402]

So i learned about action bar binding lol that helps so much ive been shift + 1-6ing them all this time. Thanks alot my man.

[@emmittkison2321]

Wow. Just wow. This was such a well though out and easy to understand guide. It also makes me realize how far away I am from being a pvm god lol. This will help me get started though I imagine. Thank you ryan.

[@johnclarkeiop97]

Wow you learn something new every day. I never knew my mouse scroll thing could go right or left!!!

[@jeroenjager8064]

I never feel like taking the time to set this up, more of a casual-after-work gamer. Even though I'm online all the time.

[@FluffySheep222]

Very good video. While I don't think I'll be copying your binds because of what I already have setup there was still a lot of good stuff - for example doubling the prayer binds so I don't miss click when holding shift/not holding shift down. Taking the time to think about how to make each combat style setup similar and make sure each is setup thoughtfully and comfortably was a good way to take a step back and analyze the binds I had and make a few adjustments. Great job!

[@robertjohnson1070]

Would like to see ability bars for each style/dw/2h

Great vid fam, lot of people just looking for that motivation to keybind/use manual; happy to see you helping the boys when you can :D

[@sexyhinatahotty]

You know something... i know a lot of people use qwer as they base for keybinds (myself included) and there's nothing wrong with that but... if you are new to keybinds i would prolly recommend much more to use wert as your base if you haven't got used to it yet cause it have a bigger advantage to set more keybinds in the long run, i just cannot bring myself to relearn my keybinds from 0 again but if i would be knew to it i would def do it with wert as baseline just throwing this up.

[@tahersiddique8707]

Why wert?

[@Dino_Pony]

@@tahersiddique8707 if QWER are your home abilities, and you need another ability close by, you need to bind T if you need another ability and asdf are already bound... well... good luck trying to hit Y. However if you have wert as your home keys, you can bind q and y and hit them no problem

[@SSSFanBoy11]

you sir might have just saved me so much effort

[@Zorrolord]

Unless you have played league of legends before then you are doomed for life!

[@Tosfoy]

Here I am, after years of denying RS3, playing OSRS, never thought I would have setup keybinds in RS Gotta agree, the game is fantastic, there are a few cons but rs3 is getting better and it feels good playing an updated version with good graphics

[@drews.6274]

I feel that. I made an rs3 iron back in april as a joke but I've been playing it nonstop ever since.

[@timothykeller9419]

I must say. i didnt really like your content the first few times i watched. But the more of your videos i come across and having watched your ironman series. Youre by far one of my new favorite content creators for RS3.

[@freakyjos]

i have a question, how do you move your camera without WASD?

[@glitchloading]

Hold down your middle mouse button and move the mouse around

[@lenny5023]

Thanks so much for the guide, i finally went full manual and this was very helpful!

[@rjbrandon9643]

Ryan > Can you please make a new/updated/more in-depth video of your new interface and keybinds? Actually go into detail, like how many action bars you actually use (is 15 overkill?), show each action bar that you have binded to certain combat styles? (i.e. 2H Melee, DW Melee, 2H Ranged, DW Ranged, 2H Magic, DW Magic, Nex, Raksha, etc.) It would be MUCH MUCH appreciated! Thank you SO much in advance!

[@James-wc1mt]

Thank the runescape gods for revolution 😓

[@streetsweeper7632]

How effective are you at soul split flicking while being on full manual? Seems difficult to be hitting 4 5 6 keys while triggering offensives. I like my prayer switches on my mouse personally so the 2 don't interfere but I would like some extra real estate on the mouse keys. Just curious what your hand technique is there

[@devin2559]

I got a question, when you switch to shield to use resonance, how do you switch back to your staff properly? Do you also got a keybind for your staff near them or do you just click the staff in your inventory?

[@jazzysocksdude]

How do you show which abilities you've used?

[@jazzysocksdude]

@@jonathondelemos4609 thanks it works

[@ellisilio]

What do you use to change camera angle on the left side of the keyboard?

[@jezzamouse5644]

You don't just press scroll wheel down

[@hydra2688]

Omg finally this guide came out i died waiting thank you so much lol

[@KlElNlNlElDlY]

when I equip my staff/wand switch the action bar isn't changing. Why is this happening?

[@EverythingFixed732]

keybind wont work for me even know the letter i picked shows in the box but why am i typing when trying to use keybind

[@JeffZuccMusk]

Can you keybind ''use magic notepaper'' ? When I drag it to keybind slot, the keybind becomes ''destroy magic notepaper''

[@zergetrh5705]

My protection prayers are QSD (ASD for qwerty) i find it more convenient for prayer flicking. Food and potions are AZ (QW for qwerty) because it easier to eat in case of emergency or drink restore if prayer fall to zero. Thresold ability and ultimate are binded to 1,2,3,4 and basic that i rarely trigger manually are the other number after 5 ( if playing full manually it would be not convenient). The key idea is to have all the most important key bind near my left hand.

[@jrthomson1001]

i also use a razer naga trinity. the only thing i don't know how to do is set your mouse wheel buttons. Does anyone know how to do that? thanks

[@tristanjones5295]

Damn this is really great I think I will try out these keybinds for myself and maybe move towards revo instead of revo++, these keybinds make a lot of sense to me I've just had a hard time figuring out what works best for my own keybindings so I will definitely try this out!

[@StyIoire]

Hello Ryan, I can't seem to bind my thumb buttons on my mouse. Any idea as to why this is? Outside of RS3 they work and function like intended. I have a Razor mouse.

[@ryankerr2014]

I know this is an older vid and you might not see this, but what do you do for moving the camera? I'm used to WASD movement, but I'm trying to learn abilities/keybinds and to make it more intuitive, so I', willing to lose the WASD setup if there's a better option

[@Kaij-]

Finally someone who uses ALT as a modifier and not shift.. hitting ALT is so much more comfortable with your thumb that hitting shift with the pinky! one question, since you rebound WASD, what do you use to rotate the camera? Good guide!

[@m94w]

Is this mouse really helpful to high level PVM? I have a nice Logitech G903, but it doesn't have nearly as many buttons.

[@PJmakesMusic]

How do you press alt+6? I've got long, flexible fingers and I can't manage that

[@lucasmatsuoca]

this is probably a stupid question but how do you guys control the camera? my entire life i used WASD for it, but apparently this is the optmal place for a lot of keybinds

[@asmircar1]

im playing on legacy mode, is it possible for me to have action bar and bind prayer switching to my 2h weapons ? i like doing dagganoth kings but i dont like switching weapons and prayers, there is to much clicking....is it possible to do this with legacy mode ?

[@Qball_RS]

Helpful guide, just ordered my razor mouse last night so hopefully will tidy up my PvMing. Plus they are 20% off atm which was nice.

[@shaunclancey5883]

something i like doing is i have a mouse similar to rsguys (logitech g600)set all easiest to get to side buttons to 1,2,3,4,5,6 then the other 6 buttons are qwe/asd respectivly for each row, then by having that i have my 3rd mouse main button (ie theres left click,middle(normal rightclick) and my extra being the new right click button which i set to shift, which for ability bars effectivly doubles each keys use, then i only use my left hand for hitting ctrl and alt making my mouse able to use every single ability i use, this is very effective for people with small hands or if you have a lot of wrist trouble as your hand isnt straining for anything

[@ChaoticGamingRs]

i already was using these keybinds, just abilities were in wierd spots and felt wierd thanks for an idea to help clear things up!

[@ardechey]

I missed it in the video but what do you move camera with? I use wasd and cant get the hang of mouse wheel keep losing track of where im looking at bosses

[@yamahawins]

Do you use bars for weapon switches that automatically switch depending on your weapon you're currently using? Jagex keeps adding new abilities and weapons/switches without allowing more action bars to be added on the screen. I like using range dw and mage 2h/DW plus when I do Raksha I need bladed dive switches. It's gotten to the point where I can't easily switch between combat styles without removing stuff and added stuff to match the current combat style. It's really annoying

[@jgronewold5]

Do you have a video explaining what spells/abilities/etc. should always be keyboard? I was copying as much as I could just buy viewing but I know some stuff is very niche and was wondering if there was a basic general setup! Thank you so much for your videos!

[@ohno7582]

I feel like it is easier to bind alt and control to your mouse so your hand doesnt need to contort around.

[@rexxesgedden5341]

So, how do I keybind? good video. But I don't know how to key bind since everything changed in rs3 since I last played

[@brandondiesbourg3224]

my action bar settings only show 4 additional action bars and no others

[@kyleneeley1]

Do keybinds not work in legacy interface mode? In legacy interface some of the keybind options aren't even listed such as prayers and combat settings. And the ones that are listed when mapped don't actually open the menu that it says it will

[@nemzi5722]

great video ryan, except for the fact that each mouse is different also, so with exception to what ur using, it really makes a huge difference buying the right mouse that suits the player and how they use it, i use a logitech and its rly not worked out for me so decide to try out a razer naga and see if that makes any difference, hope you have recovered from the crash that was really shitty what happened for some players, ive seen a few crash during telos battles now, hopefully will get fixed soon gl bro

[@Dylan9664]

Two questions. Do you full manual regular slayer? And if you’re fighting something with no special big attack do you just resonate whenever you’re low on hp

[@sammgold1513]

Can someone tell me what the ability bar is in the bottom left corner (in the chatbox) and where I might find it in settings? I assume it's some sort of de-buff or queue

[@Gouron]

what size monitor (resolution) do you play on?

[@adamp4401]

Do you switch weapons in the action bar whenever you change to melee and range (assuming you bring both dw and 2h for those styles) or are the weapon switches specifically for 4taa mage?

[@shadow5k2]

Heyo is there anyway to get a screen capture of the key binds on each ability trying to figure it all out but i need some help

[@YeoWeiXiong]

Why am I not able to fire off abilities when I turn ability queuing off - full manual. Or am I suppose to spam my keys till they fire off?

[@alppuvaa]

can recommend taking off your keys and washing them once in a while, makes they keyboard feel brand new without actually spending the money.

Literally yesterday I was thinking about exploiting my Razer Naga mouse more because I really only used about 4-5 of the keybinds on it, and also about changing my keybinds that I'd been using pretty much since EoC came out and were really ineffective, such as having surge/food/brew on every bar. It's taken me about 2 hours to copy most of your keybinds setup, and I'm determined to learn how to use them properly, even if that means a couple weeks away from real PvMing and sticking to KBD/Graardor.
