Build An OSRS Account From Scratch (2024 Progression & Goals)

[@guchy2ndfloor]

Ty for another guide! Most crucial part of an acc for me has been chipping away at diaries. I never bothered with qpc in 07 and only started taking the main account grind 'seriously' since 2018. I doubled down my semi casual efforts during covid playing and it has made me enjoy the game so much more. Achievement/Combat diares are the best indicators of progression. It's a long road, but we're spoiled for choice when it comes to content in osrs. Ty again for the guide. Currently tackling hard combat and elite achievement diaries. RSN : Tormentor837

I found your videos about ~2 years ago when I got back into the game and am turning the corner on a 2B bank and base 90s now, and wanted to thank you for how informative your guides have been while staying concise and lighthearted.

@@Combustibleporcupine welcome back to the community brother, I’ve also started playing osrs like a year ago first time playing it to, also you are in the right place to be up to date with the videos that kaoz has in his channel there’s a ton of info in all the skills and progress to your account

[@zuloph]

I'd say the most important thing for a new account is set yourself small, realistic goals after playing the game for a couple weeks and figuring out what you like about it. That way you can know where to set your goals, and setting smaller ones as opposed to say playing for 2 weeks and setting a goal of infernal cape you'll be able to complete your goals and feel that sense of accomplishment rather than burning out on the unrealistic goal. Then you can even set yourself new goals sooner, and work towards those to get that dopamine rush again. RSN Don Arden

FYI, you do not need holiday tracks to unlock the music cape, only the trimmed variation. No need to wait a full year for a holiday event if you're close to the music cape!

As an Ironman I got the Quest cape last week and can say that better gear is very ideal. You need to spend a lot of time learning PVM bosses for the quests and you'll feel at times it's jsut not possible. Desert Treasures 2 is a nightmare and who knows how hard While Guthix Sleeps will be soon.

[@MoltarKaio]

Great Video. I just got Quest Cape back after doing Desert Treasure 2 so I've been a little lost on what to do next. I've been AFKing Barbarian Fishing (lvl81) on weekdays and doing Fortis Colosseum (can only do the first 2 waves the majority of the time) so I'm sort of doing a mix between PVM and skill route

[@m4gnif1cent39]

Questing has to be the most important part of any account. It unlocks so much content whether its new map areas, equipment, abilities, perks, teleports, PLUS it forces you to have goals for levels in skills that maybe you wouldn't normally train. RSN Capt Falco

[@zackjohns323]

100% so true. I played the game for years and didn’t know the content I was missing out on. Got into a Group Ironman and the boys helped me do a ton of quests. Didn’t realize I was only playing a quarter of the game or so. Unlocked so much stuff! And it was fun to do them

[@killerbas40]

This game has also some of the best quests, sadly people skip dialogue often in favor of efficiency

[@jamesdienow]

The most important part of an account is getting your quest cape as it literally unlocks all areas of the game and brings your account up to a decent level.

i wish i got on the quest grind sooner, im on the upper side of a mid account i think with most 80s sprinkled with a few 90+ and 1 or 2 70s, but im so far behind on quests and just general account unlocks. now when i look at some activity i want to do or some item i want like bone crusher as an example and see the list of quests i need to unlock and its so daunting

[@moodishere]

Can you make a video on what returning mains should do, and whats important to know in 2024?

[@Siks7Ate9]

I think the most important thing about playing a new account is deciding if you want to be a ironman or main account. I have been enjoying ironman way more due to not having to worry about upgrading stuff via making money. Everything I get will feel more rewarding. I'm currently working on getting 77 magic for super glass make and then I'll be getting 99 crafting as my second 99. I basically ditched my main account at nearly 2050 total.

[@HookahOtaku]

if you have no life to enjoy and want to stroke your ego, yeah, irons the way to go. Trading is essential in a MMORPG. Otherwise its just a single player game. Many folks ive seen regret being iron, not being able to participate in some activities or using the trade feature.

[@Siks7Ate9]

@HookahOtaku it's literally none of those you mentioned (the ego and no life). It's a different way of playing the game in general that I found more enjoyable. I don't get to spend hours a day on my account. Yeah the progress on a ironman is slower, but I can login whenever I want do whatever I want and not worry about gp or item prices dropping etc. Im still not 99 crafting btw although im now actively training it, i still have about 70 hours left on the skill. I'm 1710 total now and completed a bunch of side goals such as prayer and stamina pool in my house, gathering supplies for pvm, herbs, money for 83 construction. I haven't done a single bit of pvm, yet really. Still 85 combat and absolutely loving the game whenever I login because I'm not in a rush.

[@dean8147]

I’d remove the idea of maxing first then going for inferno. Mega weapons after inferno is not what I’d suggest. It’ would feel impossible to pass inferno without the help of better gear. It is after all, a very challenging piece of content. I’m almost ready for a T BOW and will then set aside time to do it once I have it banked. I’d suggesting once you start the PVM route, explore a bunch of boss content and money making methods, switching it up as you go along. You’ll be forced to learn mechanics that are transferable. I’m not a skiller, I don’t focus on diaries, but there is content that not many people have achieved that if you want to explore a bit of fashion scape then you could go for cosmetics such as the “champions cape “. Point being, I’d rearrange the order according to this comment (personally ). It is after all, an opinion. Cheers- RSN- Dropkickwho
