Final Tip: Don't abandon your pet rock. It has feelings, it's alive. And it can move to get it's revenge..

[@MichaelChiklisCares]

Don't forget to hug it.

[@TheJasperson]

The beauty about RS is your account never goes backwards. Other MMO’s do resets on content releases, but Runescape’s simply stack on top of the old content. If you’ve been gone for a few years, your character is still as powerful as it was when you were playing (maybe even stronger), now it just has a higher ceiling for you to reach. Once you understand that, it’s easy to not worry about the FOMO and it’s easier to enjoy the game. I take a 6 months on / 6 months off approach to the game and this is the #1 thing I’ve come to realize that helps make RS so enjoyable, cause there’s just no rush even though it feels like there is.

[@PigPissBeUponThem]

Until a group of Chinese RMTrs crash you equipment and you come back to 80% of your wealth being erased. Not long ago bonds were 10m now they’re over 100m

@@TheJasperson yeah true. I’m still salty from when EOC erased 12 years of money making over night.

[@TheJacob232]

Necromancy and Forinthy are definitely some Key Quests to start up on. As someone who played OSRS exclusively up until last year and decided to check out their OG character and the new content ive fallen in love with the Fort and has even made me look at construction as a skill which i hated prior. so much QOL in those areas, Menaphos aint shabby either, my next goal is Priff (hopefully im at the requirements by end of this DXP)

[@Aioaverona]

DO note that a lot of people seem to not mention: Necromancy is a P2P skill, as a F2P you can level it up to level 20.

[@FostuRKid]

False

newer player here. I have played before but I was a kid. Quests are 100% something you should do at the start. My account i've done 100qp on the first day, 200qp 1 week and after a month 300 qp. the amount of exp and treasure hunter keys you get early game is insane. and it will help you progress your account quickly.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

As someone coming back to the game having been away for over 10 years (and someone who will has his 20-year old RS account), I really appreciate the tips from you and the community. Going to give RS3 a try and see how I get on - the nostalgia of just looking at my bank, which is like a snapshot in time, brings great memories!

[@holybrail9191]

i haven’t played this game in a over a decade, when i did i was HOOKED for years lol. glad to see it’s still thriving.

[@anialator1000000]

Skills often have fairly AFK ways of training, and there are some really afk ways to make money as well. If you don't really feel like playing or want minimal input, find those methods and do them while you do other things. Things like using Perfect Juju Mining potions and stone spirits, or filling your inventory with unfinished smithing projects, or Yoga in Priff. There are lots of very or extremely afk things you can do to take a break yet still progress in useful or meaningful ways.

[@yt.personal.identification]

Start Anachronia ASAP. It can do the collecting while you work on other stuff. It requires time.

[@CarterCarter-xn3sg]

As a new player i found unlocking invention early on was a big help

[@bearwater8747]

the grind to 80 div makes you a seasoned player and no longer a new player :P

[@TheJacob232]

@@bearwater8747 as someone currently working on unlocking Priff as my returning goal......I agree with this statement wholeheartedly. Even Smithing and Mining take long enough that you should've learned plenty from others talking to no longer be 'new'

[@darianlalla8322]

My biggest tips: Do all the non members quests and available diaries before paying for the game, otherwise it will seem too boring and you'll likely get swept up in members things and then its a chore to go back later 2: play however you want, but try and do at least one quest a day, quest cape is a daunting but highly rewarding achievement and will not feel too bad if you just do a daily or every other day quest 3: god wars 1 is for learning combat, god wars 2 is for learning dps after you know the system, everything else can be done earlier but i highly recommend these 2 sections of the game for learning while making some coins 4: necromancy is broken and cheap 5: have fun and look for guilds, even if you're a primarily solo player, citidels give buffs and talking to people is more fun than just using wiki non stop

[@TheCooderix]

ONE QUEST A DAY? I feel like this alone will discourage a lot of people, I think that's a no-bueno tip.

[@darianlalla8322]

I mean, that's coming from a veteran player, so sure a quest a day sounds aweful, but for a new player treating the game like an rpg game is very beneficial and actually quite fun, there is a solid story in runescape and many fun sideline stories as well that we can't appreciate cause we've already done it or just want to send it just for the minimum rewards and requirements to boss endlessly or do optimal clues or be skiller pures or whatever niche thing it is we like in the end game, for a new player the questing isn't nearly as rough as vets make it out to be@@TheCooderix

[@couchman7749]

6 years ago when I started playing again, I was so glad I got membership right away, being a low level is so much easier as a p2p and you get the best early game quests like waterfall and ardy achievements for the cape, BUT it is most certainly a chore for me to now go back and do the f2p quests lines haha so definitely a double edged sword

[@darianlalla8322]

Yeah, that was kinda my point, its way easier and faster to start members but that's kind of the issue in a sandbox style game with a quest progression system that's as half implemented as runescapes if you actually care about beating the game starting in members is a hindrance, you don't need lvls quickly in f2p and can just blast through the quests and achievements available and still feel like its progression, but if you start membership and speedrun yourself to mid game you will quickly forget about all the early game skipped content and its a pain to go back at close to max and do stuff that ultimately has no benefit aside from checking off the box, where you could have actually used the exp boosts and achievement rewards at lower lvls to help progress anyway@@couchman7749

[@Krononex]

Don’t use chat to ask questions that can be answered by wiki, that’s different than socializing or asking for opinions

[@couchman7749]

Clue scrolls are a baller on a budgets dream. Seriously all it takes is one dye drop from a clue scrolls for you to level your account up in a major way. Also huge for getting fortunate components stocked up before you’ll need them! Plus clue scrolls will give you proper motivation to level many different skills and unlock different areas!

[@kiyoshiinoto]

Even if you don’t want fortunate components you can sell it for 1.3m ish and you get one of these items about 40% of the time

[@MzCatieShorts]

iv been boss pet hunting and not worrying about the drops... so far i have all of the GW1 and GW2 boss pets and im slowly moving up through the harder bosses and learning as i go... the pets just give me a fun goal to shoot for whilst i learn all the new boss mechanics

[@betterthanmost9549]

thats pretty much how ive done it. ive gotten every pre 2017 boss pet aside from kalphite king not on purpose just started going for the easier boss pets which happen to be the older bosses. Lately ive been doin some arch glacor hard mode and elite dungeons and realy enjoying them.

[@nathanloosemore4141]

Necromancy has broken the game for me. I just casually got to 99 recently and then bought all t95 pieces and perked them out. I beat all my best times with best in slot ranged gear with little experience in the necromancy style. It kind of feels like it has made other styles redundant. I love the style it's in dire need of rebalancing though in my opinion. I don't think other styles need buffing I think necromancy needs a nerf. Although it is fun doing a 1 shot on high end slayer creatures.

[@MonsiTheKT]

I like the phrase analysis paralysis. It's a great way to describe me trying to play catch up with years and years of content. Working on something afk while frantically flipping through tabs upon tabs of the wiki.

[@rmt3589]

Thank you for this. Is The Death Of Chivalry still broken at higher levels? Are there any other quests that I should do at lower level as to not get softlocked?

[@TheMahjarrat_]

I'm a returning player and I haven't played since 2018 and I feel severely lost, lol. Me playing Souls games made me miss the online interaction I had with players online. So, I'll slowly be opening up to Runescape again and this has been a helpful video!

Hopefully you've caught up! I'm coming back after about a year and there's always a slight learning curve

[@melocitygaming7081]

I am an on and off player. And all I do is do questing and grind for super rare items you can get from kills. I know it's very pvp/pvm oriented but. It's what I like to do lol. Runescape is a fun game and don't worry about getting caught up in the game. Enjoy the game for what it is.

[@ShegoLego]

The game takes time, enjoy it. I have been playing for over a decade and have never purchased any MTX. I play casually on the weekends and for about an hour after work during the week. I have 64m bonus XP and 20b bank. I feel like i had more enjoyment in the beginning when i was just unlocking everything for the first time. Also dont burn yourself out, its a game that will be there tomorrow, go outside and do other things :)

[@vambylamby83]

Quit the game at 2022, last year found out it was hijacked, not sure what's going on in my account, got it back but haven't logged in to check, maybe I will try to rebuild everything from scratch if I happen to play it haha.

[@TheButteryGamer]

how did you set your UI like that?

[@bigoof1399]

As someone who was a previously comped player quit around the time of divination release...Do you think it would be better to go back to my old account or start a clean slate to learn everything?

[@HoboWally]

Depends on your preference, if old acc feels overwhelming i'd say just start fresh, the more you play the more the game will just throw free xp at you anyway to help you grind up. But if you've got a bit of quest progression etc on the old character i'd say just pick him back up and have some fun!

[@cfortner100]

Guide should be yearly focused like a series. (Which I did notice) Not bringing up curses and cannonball making. I'm just returning after year break, but good guide inityeah

[@EmeraldCavaliers]

as a new player my skill mostly activate themself, I saw you put it and use it from bar is there a settings for that?

[@HoboWally]

In settings - gameplay - combat or something or other there should be an option to whether you manually press every button, or use the 2012 "Revolution" system where your abilites are used in the order you've set them up on, on your bar. Then in the same settings - gameplay - action bars area there should be a way to change your keybinds to easily press the buttons you want to!

[@user-bg8wo2pi8u]

I've had my account for like 15yrs now, I used to play it properly but for saying the last 10 years I've just done the daily log ons, I've bought keys if there is a special offer and I've got 99 in everything pretty much but have no idea how to play the game now lol it's too overwhelming to try and relearn it all even though I want to

[@Joutja123]

I'm a returning player from way back when normal runescape was still old school runescape so I've got a lot to relearn.

[@jonfunny]

Yoooo init! I stopped playing last year and I am considering returning soon, bond prices are sky high but I reckon it's doable with 7m per day profit so no big worries for end game player? Also it seems word on the street is necromancy is OP, should I focus on that? It looks exciting, but Is end game necromancy a big step up from end game ranged gear? (SGB and ECW?) or even mage ? An update from you or anyone in the community would be much apreciated :D Cheers and happy scapin'

[@HoboWally]

Necromancy is busted bro, and your gear progression literally comes from you just dedicating a bit of time to the skill. If you're gonna start necromancy, a small suggestion to start is when you're doing your gear upgrade tasks, do the communion rituals, not the combat, the souls from the rituals give you really good necromancy perks further down the line, so the earlier you start progressing it the better.

As a osrs player thats been gaming sone rs3. Theres alot going on. Runelite has some QOL features that would improve rs3. Rs3 has a few QOL over osrs as most the skills are less clicky. The GE is less active on rs3 so quests are very ironman like having to source the supplies.

We do have alt1 which is far less baked in than runelite but is still helpful.

[@TehRealC3TZz]

Can you define “end game”?

[@nickman287]

Early early game: first 50 hours, you've done most of the f2p stuff Middle early game: around 100 quest points, 40ish most stats Late early game: tier 60 most combat styles, start to unlock some side content through skills Early mid game: you have vanquish and start being able to do early bosses Mid mid game: you start understanding abilities, don't really use defensives. You have invention and priff. Late mid game: you start having decent perks, and gwd1 armours for all styles. You love your sunspear. Early late game: you're getting close to max, and most of your goals are sidegrades like arch relics and such. You're close to quest cape or have it. Mid late game: you are maxed and are pretty much only working on getting mats for endgame perks. You most likely have t85+ weapons for each style. Late late game: you can do anything and are chasing the very best in slot things.

[@thefaceless760]

If the release of a new quest takes away your completionist trimmed cape, that is an endgame account, "endgame content" means you have mostly BIS weapons, armour, and perks, and can atleast kill every boss in solo or groups of 4-12, that's endgame content.

[@___m16]

is there pvp in rs3?

[@kiyoshiinoto]

Yes but both players have to opt in, so basically it doesn’t exist.

So y'all's DMG mindset is way way sqewed. Listen to what you're saying. You're upset you can't kill a boss in 10 seconds? That isn't even what's meant to happen and like only the top players I'm sure are doing that.

[@julianbeard5400]

Everyone claims necromancy is user friendly compared to othee combat styles and I dont see why. I played the tutorial for it yes but the skill as a whole, is alot more confusing than the other combat styles. Other combats I google a rotation and click a monster and buy new armor after levling. Necro has soul collection and rituals and you gotta do mini game type quests to collect pies and other crap to upgrade your armor etc etc. Not a fan of the skill. Hense why mines 20 lol and every other combat is at 90+. I started again 7 weeks ago.

[@zaknafein254]

It's only really confusing when you first start using it. At higher levels, equipment upgrades are significantly cheaper and easier to obtain than other combat styles. It is also pretty well rounded with built in sustain and aoe. The other styles work well enough though so you're fine with using them if that's what you prefer.

[@julianbeard5400]

@@zaknafein254 I can see it has the best sustain and DPS but for a video for new and returning players, its not exactly new user or returning user friendly in my opinion. I started playing in 2001 and have quit and returned several times throughout the years and jumping into necro felt strange and difficult. I still dont fully understand it. Ill have to watch a guide to better understand the skill or something. Invention is also rough to into but thats a different beast all together.

[@zaknafein254]

@@julianbeard5400 It's not really all that confusing though. I took a super long hiatus (since before the death changes lmao, that was a curveball) and came back when the christmas event started. I picked up necromancy and it was very self explanatory. The tutorial, tasks, and quests all lay it out very simply. You can level it through rituals, combat, or a mix of both. It's fun and unique compared to the other combat styles. Just because you found it hard to understand doesn't mean it's not new player friendly, no offense. The other combat styles are actually way more unfriendly to beginners due to the combat rebalance.

Clan avatar boost is double edge, because if you are very casual maybe only have 1hr /day or less clan avatar isn't going to matter. 30mins to cap is more hurtful then helpful due to limited time. Plus if you are type get busy and maybe forget, lose fealty got start over. It's huge part of what what ruin rs version of clans for me personally ( years ago), i do admit clans themselves are helpful for helping you answer question and find mates to join you in activities. Worry about avatar and capping i feel are just part of toxic behavior of daily scape, 6% only matter if you rushing to 120/200mil. getting 99 is easy overall, you be lacking and earning so many perks/boost that 6% wont matter. As earlier and later remarks talk about not falling into efficient and remember it's a game. Clans are good for people not exp buff.
