Are the F2P Bosses really worth it?

Some players set themselves the Free to Play Bosses, Obor & Bryophyta, as goals for f2p accounts. But is it actually worth it?

Ive been wanting another giant boss for f2p for years. It wouldnt be too difficult to add an ice giant boss in the blurite mining area. I saw a reddit post a while back that was perfect. Talked about the ice giant boss dropping a blurite crossbow as an upgrade for f2prs. And its never left my head since.

[@Dicerz]

That sounds awesome!

[@yosiahw4305]

That's actually a fun idea.

[@Courier_Seven]

Would be cool if blurite had some kind of use outside of the quests.

@@Courier_Seven It would force bots to thin out too since mining blurite would actually become profitable in F2P, maybe new players could mine iron in peace.

One of my most nostalgic memories was fighting and accidentally dying against some bigger skeleton in in the Varrock sewers. Lost some stuff, went back to get them and a guy traded me. Turns out he took the stuff I dropped and held it for me, waiting for me to come back. Such a nice person, that was way before the death mechanics we have nowadays.

I remember dying to Graardor in 2012 EOC. There was a bug on the website client at the time causing a white screen disconnect. Logged back in and 3 people were laughing at how I sucked and thanks for the free bandos (including my gloves drop). Another time in 2013 I died to commander zilyana saw the person take my virtus off the ground and they claimed they didn't see it.

[@NUCCubus]

That takes me way back, I saved a lot of peoples stuff back in the day

@@NonsensicalSpudz Yeah, graves where not even a thing back then and you just dropped your stuff on the ground. I remember when they introduced graves, one of my goals was to get 70 prayer so I could "bless them". That would add an entire hour to them, was a nice way of being able to help others. Nowadays, you have both graves as well as death's office. Only time you really risk losing something is by getting killed by a player. @GameWithAdam damn, that sucks. even if bandos isn't "super expensive", still quite allot of gold.

Decided that I would finally try Bryophyta, had gathered over 70 keys from moss giants. Had some really good luck in the beginning, got a essence drop after the first six kills. Short time later, got a second essence drop. With the random rune items added, had a bit over 13m in loot from my 75ish Mossy keys. Had been putting off using them until now, felt totally worth making use of them.

You can in fact craft jewellery on multiple accounts to fund a bond easily. Jagex allows you to play as many accounts as you can handle as long as all inputs are from you and crafting jewellery is fairly low input. As of this message bonds are 6.7m and crafting ruby necklaces requires only 34 crafting and nets over 220k profit per hour on one account would be about 30.5 hours to a bond. On four accounts which can be easily done is under 8 hours which you can also work up more gp to give yourself a head start in members, this may not be for everyone but it does work and you can use lower tier jewellery if needed it would just take a little longer. So lets say you do it and you're not really super focusing on 3 accounts with dicerz videos playing in the background earning about 180k per hour on each account for a week and maybe 4 hours a day with 2 days not playing, this would net you 2.16m at the end of those 4 hours and 10.8m after 5 days of doing it in a week. 10.8m would net you a bond, with the remaining gp you can fund quests and gear upgrades in members with gp to spare. Hope this helps any f2p players get a bond.

[@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441]

moss giant f2p boss would be better if they improve the drop rates and mabe a boss pet? or a weapon that can damage it even when it summons minions or mabe make it less rng. also if lets say u have high enough agility level and can use pipe even if f2p. u should be able to use it. that way u can easily get to it very fast. and a bonus mabe if no... I would love kebab shops to be buy 28 of them instead of this one at a time thing...

Ive played rs since classic and vividly remember the painful switch to rs2 which i eventuallly grew to like better than rsc. Still have my OG character stuck in rs3 whos up for a 20 year cape anyday now. Nowadays with bond prices n such i feel bad for the new people trying to get out of f2p like i did a few years ago without spending rl money. That was one of the funner times ive had in osrs from starting back on it since mobile release as it was very nostalgic going through all the f2p stuff again for a few months. Eventually i got my stats to a decent place, done all the quests and made 3m for a bond by merchanting as thats the least painful way of escaping the eventual f2p prison of horrible money making methods. It wouldnt be so bad amd easier to make money as a f2p if skilling items werent so cheap now. I went straight to money making as a p2p determined to never have to go back to f2p with only buying bond with gp. First week of members i got a 7m dagon hai robe piece from my very first wildy slayer chest which solidified my stay in members without paying any irl money and i never looked back. Members was largely new to me cuz as a nooby kid and no bond system i didnt get around to seeing most of the content. I got to experience all the members content for the first time, started making alot of money and got my character more levels and money than ive ever had, did my first boss fights, got my first ever 99s in first cooking then strength, made it to level 115 with 100m and almost every stat except runecrafting to 70 or above all on mobile while paying gp for bonds. Im happy it got a mobile port that allowed me to experience all this again. Good times, i havent played in awhile been taking a long break but i might just log in for a few today.

[@BlightningBrightling]

Now this is the kinda content I love for f2p. Would love to see one about beginner clue hunting now. Also, for the Moss Giants, you can add in the big bones you're burying into the calculation of GP, since it is a money sink even as a member. -- For the sewer: 151 kills = 2265 exp in 2:10, 1038 xp/hr. Dragon Bones are 2560gp each, gives 252 xp at a gilded altar, so ~10gp/xp. Multiply by 1038 xp/hr, about 10.5k gp/hr saved on that skill. Still only 61.5k/hr if you include this ridiculous calculation to the end result lol. -- For the Wildy: 60 kills in 40 minutes = 90/hr, 1350 prayer exp/hr, or an extra 13,500gp/hr saved from offering dragon bones at a gilded altar, meaning over 120k/hr.
