Thanks for all your support. I regularly go live on Twitch, and we have a community discord! Please do come hangout if you wanna see more content! Both are in the video description. ♥ Update: Episode 2 is in the works and will be released soon, Hopefully in the next few days!

[@roberthicks8835]

the Mining & Smithing Updated is the best thing to ever come to RS3. The addition of the ore box and metal bank along with rewarding active play with rockitunities is the greatest QOL i have seen Jagex do.

[@thisisntsergio1352]

It's how I got 120 mining and smithing

[@TheMahano]

the ore box and metal bank is actually really cool.

[@srboromir452]

I've 99'd smithing twice after the update, but I still miss being able to make arrowheads and stuff in just a few ticks

[@amp4105]

That's not QoL. Stop calling everything QoL when theyre huge changes.

[@SilencedRS]

Welcome to RuneScape 3! It’s always a fun adventure starting from scratch again. Good luck on your adventure!

[@TheMahano]

Thank you! Enjoying what I have played so far

[@tomgola3]

Hello. Someone who was a long time Rs3 player with several 99s here . I switched to old-school five years ago and havent looked back. My main problem was when i saw a friend buy a maxed account by using prismatic lamps. It cost him 3000 usd and it just completely disillusioned me and made my achievements feel worthless

[@TheMahano]

Ahh I get ya, you got your achievements without spending stupid money tho, should be proud!

[@tomgola3]

@@TheMahano very true! But it still stings a bit haha! Overall rs3 has very fun lore and even though it's pretty lonely and quiet it's story and cutscenes are very well crafted. Something I wish osrs had more of.

[@MegaChickenfish]

It's wild going in the other direction as an RS3 player playing OSRS. People go on about that combat being "simpler" but it really isn't. OSRS iterated on the combat by really heavily emphasizing the tick system, turning the whole thing into an incredibly challenging 0.6 second interval rhythm game. _I've gotten better,_ but it's certainly a night and day difference to try OSRS content like The Leviathan when the last time you did "challenging content with the old combat system" was Fight Caves. So on the inverse of that, while RS3 has more buttons to push, you can keybind *everything* and have *every* interface tab open at once if you want. You don't have to re-click your opponent every time you drink potions, eat food, or swap gear, and the expected reaction time on things is typically one global cooldown, AKA *three ticks.*

[@TheMahano]

Yeah its cool how each game does end game content. especially OSRS with its limited mechanics.

[@skiwee]

​@@TheMahanowhile it is very cool what OSRS has done with limited mechanics, it has gradually changed from the days of fighter torso, nezzy helm, prayer switch. I wonder how the OSRS community would have responded if what we have now was implemented instead of EOC. I imagine it would have been similar Either way, I hope that you keep playing at least long enough to so some of the end game bosses. Not being limited on mechanics allows for a richer experience in my opinion.

[@Fleato]

yeah it's part of why I dont like osrs. the difficult comes from acurate clicks. which I dont have that hand eye really.

[@DillanDabz]

love seeing osrs players try rs3 great content!

[@TheMahano]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Tinky1rs]

In case you're wondering why ranging the mager, but especially maging the warrior in the blood pact quest took so long: you're wearing melee armour. Wearing off-style armour can heavily affect your accuracy, which means your damage potential is very low. See target info window: the 100% at 35:06, the 69% at 35:37, and the 15% at 36:10. this means your damage is 100%, 69% or 15% of what it could be at 100% hit chance.

[@TheMahano]

Suppose this makes sense, thanks!

[@Daltonownzyoulol]

if you havnt found it yet, you dont choose attack styles like in osrs, you go to the combat section in the settings and you can choose what xp you get from which combat style you do

[@letsdiscussrs]

Hey Mahano, it was really nice to see you work through things without getting frustrated and just taking things as they came at you. Really appreciate that about the video. Really hope that you stick with it as I feel Rs3 will really surprise you in a good way the deeper you get. The reason it feels empty is that a big majority of content now is instanced, obviously its still vast in its scope but yeah. I suggest you join a clan and start experiencing some quests. Another commenter said to switch your quest category by “age” and I also highly recommend that too. Looking forward to the next episode!!!

[@TheMahano]

Thank you very much! Thanks for all the tips!

[@wildpkz3]

I remember when I was in a discord call with a friend of mine whom I haven't talked to in months and I'm like "What do you play nowadays"? and he says Rs3 and I remember Roasting and flaming him (jokingly) but little did I know is that he convinced me to hop on for a a bit to "Mess around" fast forward to now.. am now maxed on Rs3 haha anyway what I'm trying to say Rs3 is an amazing game, but it’s frustrating to see it overshadowed by a lack of content and predatory MTX. People often suggest playing an Ironman to avoid this, but I prefer Mainscape. It’s a bit of a turn-off when I see OSRS getting updates and new content, New game modes, Leagues, DMM and whatever, while we mostly get weekly Treasure Hunter promotions as updates.The game has changed a lot since EOC. I remember playing during the EOC update and hating it. However, when I joined RS3 in 2018 it felt completely different (it felt good)-or maybe I just approached it with a completely different mindset and I think more players should too!

[@TheMahano]

A good insite, I'm definitely wanting to play more, but I doubt it will take over my love for OSRS :p.

[@slayer100141]

Honestly if they had launched EOC with revolution and legacy combat I don't think there would have been such a drop in player count. Before I switched to mainly OSRS I maxed my RS3 account and the game was still fun, the MTX and fomo with all the dailes were a nightmare but other than that the core gameplay was still fun...... Now the lore on the other hand I hope the Jmod that made The World Wakes never gets another writing job in the industry, they made it so all the Gods could come back and the mess that made, also was involved with making a mess in the Vampyre storyline as well. As a final word it is such a shame they got rid of the Fixed Mode interface, Part of RS3's problem is the interface is such a nightmare for new or returning players and having the fixed interface made it so much easier to understand.

[@williamadams5471]

I've done that tutorial about four times. Never did it even occur to me to try to fish more than one shrimp at a time. I would get one shrimp. Follow the instructions, burn the first shrimp. Go back to get another shrimp. Then cook that shrimp and move on. For however many times I've done the tutorial or watched someone do it on a KZbin video, this is the first time I've seen someone come out of Tutorial Island with Fishing at level 3. Amazing.

[@TheMahano]

😂 ez levels.

[@austingreathouse]

Welcome in man! I still go back and forth between osrs and rs3 but been pretty much exclusively playing rs3 again since a bit after TOA came out. There’s a lot to love. If you want some easy agility levels, recommend getting silver hawk boots asap and just passively getting agility levels with them. I made my first 300m on my alt by getting my herb, smithing, and crafting up to around lvl 85-90. Slow buying and slow selling supplies, tons of profit on great exp methods. Recommend doing some of that earlier to get yourself some money to boost the account. Necromancy is an amazing resource for early pvm, abilities make a lot more sense than the other cb style abilities and will set you up better for training the other styles. That said, you’ll still want your def and stuff up too. Rs3 has endless content for you to explore so wouldn’t really recommend anything specific just yet. Keep enjoying whichever path you set yourself on! Gwd1/2 are soloable rather easily with t70 gear and equipment. Don’t lamp archeology or necro, they punish you for boosting exp. Both are relatively fast to train. Getting invention unlocked early will help a lot for augmenting tools and weapons. Worth noting; you don’t need to perk your weapons when you augment, it just gives you the ability to. So if you can’t afford good perks, don’t worry about it, augment and then siphon/disassemble as necessary to level it up. Looking forward to more content :)

[@TheMahano]

Half of this is gibberish to me aha but thank you for the advice! Please tell me hawk boots give you agility for just running around ?

[@austingreathouse]

@@TheMahano yup, silverhawk boots give you passive agility exp for using them while running or gaining exp. TLDR, don’t use exp lamps or bonus exp on necromancy or archeology, but do train them early on. Play the game how you enjoy it. Most optimal methods of getting through the early game are the same as osrs, lots of questing. Inflation has done a number on rs3 so often times shop runs can be good money. Buying runes, meats, etc and reselling on the Ge can be decent cash to start too.

[@2254narken2254]

Would definitely love to see this continued, probably the best trying rs3 video I've seen

[@TheMahano]

Episode 2 is out and episode 3 will be out soon!

[@thisisntsergio1352]

I recommend legacy combat interface to simplify the menus if you're confused

[@BcuzIC4n]

I love this new series, it's great to see someone come back to the game I never left. It's changed a lot over the years, and the new player experience can be a little janky, but I look forward to seeing your progress!

[@kaoskn1ght850]

The Pathfinder armour you get from Gudrik in Port Sarim is really good for the early levels. It's hybrid type and beats most armour till level 20 stuff. The weapons you get from him are better than the ones from "The Blood Pact" quest as well.

[@roberthayes3223]

Love seeing someone from OSRS jump in and give rs3 another run. As a vet of runescape in general I think both games have plenty to try and enjoy. Both are worth sinking time into. Excited to see you continue!

[@hackspawn1]

i'm generally not a fan of the combat, but all the other QoL I love

[@yannaedc5934]

Why all the hate...Idk either. I'd hate if I wasn't able to use the old combat system anymore, but since that is still there, I'm okay with it. I went to OSRS because whenever I searched something runescape related, youtube keeps recommending me OSRS instead of RS3 so I was like "ffs, enough" and finally made the leap. Happy I did it, but no hate towards RS3 :)

[@MegaChickenfish]

24:30 As far as improvements on the tutorial since I last saw it I do like that it by default puts your basic abilities on revolution and has you manual cast the rest. I'm max level and that's still how I do it. There are guides to make more "optimal" revolution bars but honestly as long as I can kill things I'm happy.

[@johnbalkin8223]

Happy to see someone try out the superior game. I recommend doing things in Age order. Avoid the 6th Age.

[@TheMahano]

Good to know! Any particular reason why to avoid it?

[@johnbalkin8223]

The switch from Osrs to rs2/3 was the best type of rs, then when fully blown rs3 came out it sucked

[@jordanlego]

I think it’s crazy how much the rs3 community loves and most play osrs. But osrs players are so toxic towards even the thought of rs3. It’s wild. Most of which played eoc for a day and quit.

[@TheMahano]

We have bad memories from RS3. EOC really did hurt!

[@MrHuntervad]

I play ironman in rs3, it is easy scape, but the reward is there, because of some much you can do, open up stuff, being self sufficient is cool, because it is easy enough, but you still don't easy scape into GE.

[@jamiemac12580]

The interface for RS3 isnt very intuitive and can b confusing, but i think its a much better game than people give it credit for. Unfortunately you dont get a max cape on day 3 unlike what a lot of people say, but a lot of skills are interesting and due to the years of content updates there is a lot of things to do in easy skill

[@YoutubeStyleChannel]

Welcome to RS3, It still gets a lot of hate because of what EOC took from people, but I feel it was necessary to give us the amazing depth of content and combat we have compared to OSRS. Hope you enjoy your time playing

[@AfkingEnvo]

[@juliotavares3638]

Thx for giving a chance to rs3! as a player of rs3 and enjoyer of the old school content, im happy to see you joining the dark side!

[@YonahWise]

The majority of the hate comes from people that have never played rs3, and are just opposed to their childhood game changing.

[@TheMahano]

I mean it's definitely not the RuneScape I remember it, feels like a completely different game in a familiar world. Saying that though it's rather fun.

[@CKing724]

I personally "hate" it because I spent countless hours getting every 99, max cape in 2012. And now it can be done in a literal fraction of the time. But it is still fun in it's own way. Just depressing how fast everything is to train now

[@bogus6741]

@@CKing724 Well even after EoC training methods other than combat skills didnt change/speed up. The reason you hate it is because you haven't played it in 12 years resulting in power creep and just updated methods of training. The same can be said about OSRS, training methods continuously get updated and methods from 2007 are now outdated and slow.

[@The-Explorer..]

The majority of people quit since EoC, that’s the actual reason overall. Overhauling the combat system into something nobody understood or wanted was just a complete mistake. If OSRS wasn’t reanimated I’m sure RuneScape would’ve died. I’m max on RS3 (with the skills until EoC) and maxed all over on OSRS again since I simply like that combat system more as it’s unique to RuneScape. If I wanted abilities I’m sure that I would’ve played WoW instead. The ‘simplicity’ of OSRS is what made people fall in love with the game. As a veteran RuneScape player I still don’t understand EoC and don’t want to put time into learning it as the majority of us is over 30 now with more responsibilities and less time to ‘learn’ a whole new game combat mechanics.

[@TheMahano]

I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would tbh.

I quit rs3 and swapped to OS mainly due to rs3 dev team continuously driving more microtransactions and devaluing actual in game achievements. Just didn’t get that satisfaction from grinding xp when it could be bought with 5k in a few hrs.

Glad you gave it a go. I love(d) RS3. Die hard supporter post EOC. IDK game feels dull now.. notice how empty the worlds are.. notice how you wont interact with anyone at all. Jeez some worlds have like 20-50 people. Crazy, I've never hated on RS3 or OSRS both games have pros and cons. I just think RS3 got boring/dull to me and I predict it will die within the next 3 years unless something changes to bring new players. It's the same veterans that keep the game alive. The alt accounts etc. There's no new player base, they can't bring any new players at all because the game does not attract any regardless of how fun early game RS3 can be (assuming you've never played the game before) its a great game honestly if you've never played it before.

[@TheMahano]

Ayy honestly, I am having fun playing it, but yes the world does feel dull, in comparison to OSRS where people are everywhere, RS3 feels like an apocalypse.

its not even the changes they made to the game that upset me, I get that they have to keep updating things to keep up with other MMOs. Its the microtransactions... The game is firmly pay to win now. You can literally max an account without doing anything but opening your wallet. It invalidates all the work us veteran players put in for our stats...Thats why I quit playing RS3 and my original character has pretty much the same stats and XP it had 10 years ago.

[@TheMahano]

I get this, on the otherhand, you can play the game without touching the MTX.

[@ismokemid]

[@PowerfulVillain]

RS3 is great for its end game content. But early game is too easy, even on ironman accounts. Being able to configure and control how your interface looks and having a lot better graphics than OS will ever have is really great. If you love pvp though, RS3 will disappoint you. If you love tackling end game bosses using cool and awesome abilities, RS3 wins hands down. I came back after a couple year break and I noticed how necromancy (the newest skill) has eaten away the other combat styles. Everyone's doing PvM with necro. Other styles are dead unless you have bis gear and can sweat tick perfect kills. Still I'd argue RS3 EoC combat system is far superior to OS. MTX ruined RS3.

[@TheMahano]

I suppose combat is a preference tho, people love osrs combat for its simplicity with the ability to be in depth. Rs3's combat does seem quite complicated.

[@PowerfulVillain]

@@TheMahano I hated and quit RS when EoC came out. But learnt to love it as time flew by. It is the squeal of fortune - treasure hunter that ruined the game from the get go.

did you really just say rs3 combat is far superior to OS...dude..theyre 2 different games, os isnt trying to be like rs3..they both do combat that suits the players, neither is far superior to the other, OS combat suits os and at times can be challenging, rs3 is basically another mmo but slightly more refined than some games combat

[@PowerfulVillain]

@@Stonecrow99 True. By superior, I meant you can do everything OS can do and lot more as in just the ability to use keybinds unlocks way more potential than OS will ever have. OS is limited to switches and flicks using mouse buttons. But yeah, I really loved the real 2005-2010scape back in the day. Best thing is membership being shared by both games so you get to experience both, which is great!

[@Stonecrow99]

@PowerfulVillain well yeah, that will always be the case in a newer games but that's what makes OS more fun when pvming, rs3 you just tape 3 to heal, 4 to pray melee etc (example), once accustomed, makes it chill, OS you gotta hotkey prayer, combo eat and move before you die in 1 swift go lol, it has its own unique challenging charm, for me rs3s downfall is too much content, I stopped playing after EOC, I finished maxing then left until OS, I keep trying to go back to rs3 every so often but get overwhelmed by the 90k things you need to do before lvl 10, then you got the 400 slayer creatures to learn about etc, quantity isn't always best

@@sjellie2094 the phoenix event allowed your lamps to be “rebirthed” when you used them, i provided the context, you are an idiot. Over 4 days it’s about 20 keys plus all the challenges you get keys when you do dailies and quests, totaled maybe 30. Maybe take 4 seconds to google lmao

The best thing they can do for RS3 is to revert it back to RS2 1/2 and leave it at that. RS3 is their downfall and will never bring a profit.

Must be making some money if they are still hosting it and updating it ?

Bro RS3 TH is the only reason OSRS and RS3 even still exist. Without TH whales Jagex would've died a long time ago.

Imagine being this bitter over a decade later.

What a weird take. Just play OSRS with HD plugin lol. RS3 is great for PvM, but the past 3 years the content releases have just been horrendous. Dogshit reskinned bosses with barely any mechanics, environment "updates" and necromancy which just made everything irrelevant and all boss fights braindead due to powercreep. Recent quests also sound like they were written by a preschooler. And even with the current powercreep, they still refuse to release endgame pinacle content for the 1% because they want noobs to get comfortable with combat (which on paper is fine). But the issue with this ideology is that even if they make the current encounters and combat more accessible to the average player, those same players will still refuse to engage with future endgame content because the new content will once again be "too hard".

@@KhaldunRS This. RS3 is the version I'll always recommend to MMO normies (ff14 and wow players) average mmo player likes pumping damage and molesting their keyboard so I unironically think RS3 ironman is a more enjoyable experience to the average normie.

osrs players hate on rs3 because its different in the sense of skills go past 99, basic bosses like gwd1 etc is easy to do unlike on osrs. Osrs is toxic as it so that says alot
