The City That Changed Runescape Forever

[@princeofopinion2692]

Imagine if something as difficult as the inferno was released back then with the lack of guides 😅 The inferno cape would practically be an urban legend among players.

[@kylewatson6890]

That would make obtaining it that much more badash

[@apesy800]

Or the miners that much more rich

[@gunars12345]

that 05 footage brought me back. thank you so much for this time capsule of a video

[@therunescapehistorian]

You are so welcome, glad u enjoyed it!

[@Trinity_RS]

Dude I remember camping it for the obby cape … man I couldn’t sell enough chaos runes to buy it lol I remember getting the fire cape before my 8th grade Hawaii science camp field trip! I stayed up till 4 am doing fight cave attempts and when we came to the field trip the next day I had not slept … but I was so proud to brag to my friends I got the first fire cape at school

[@offspringfan100]

Now that's a nostalgia right there

[@smiletoday9468]

I just unlocked a memory of my mom, my uncle (a little older than me) and me staying up all night watching my uncle try to beat the boss to get the fire cape

[@CrippledMerc]

I remember there was a Jad flash game where you had to watch the animation and click to the correct prayer and people would use it to practice their prayer switches so that they could be prepared when they finally got to Jad. I remember doing that for ages before I ever even made it to Jad, finally got to him, and died anyways due to nerves.

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

there are new tools for this exact purpose outside of Flash now, and it's neat that they exist at all! It's so cool how quickly people built that learning tool, and a little sad that time is moving so fast these little things become harder (or impossible for some) to see and appreciate.

[@JoshPillault]

Damn that was awesome. I always assumed Onyx came out with the release of the city alongside Jad and the rest. Interesting to know how it really unfolded.

[@therunescapehistorian]

Yeah I had no idea either. It was definitely interesting to see different release dates on them.

[@imethdup5050]

I blame josh for getting me hooked on this channel😂

[@JoshPillault]

@@imethdup5050 I told you this channel is fucking dope!!!!

[@nickmeyer238]

First time I walked into Tzhaar on accident and saw the landscape I thought it was so cool. Saw a bunch of high level monsters and freaked out thinking I was going to get mauled and lose all my gear. Didn't realize they were non-aggressive. Used to love cape/shield hunting with my buddy.

[@Sphaera]

The fight caves clip @ 7 minutes into the video reminded me of something that I definitely did not miss from the old days; interacting with the prayer menu would interrupt your character's combat and you would have to click on the monster again to continue attacking. >.< Anyway, nice video.

[@therunescapehistorian]

Hey Thanks, also nice piece of info! Didn't remember that until you said it!

[@adam7802]

I remember once going to the fight pits for fun, and there was a clan event happening on the world. They basically must of had 100s of people there, it was pretty sick since the fight lasted well over an hour an was mostly them trying to survive the monsters and constant 1s (after a certain point you would actually take 1 damage every tick)

[@DivineAndDemonic]

When the fight kiln first came out, the cape was only melee and it had no effect, just the obsidian triangle going down design. They updated it quickly after to add a glow effect as well as the range and mage versions.

[@Void_Delphox]

The fight kiln didn't release the mage and range variants until 2 years after the initial kiln release. I wouldn't call that quick.

[@jakeholcombe4229]

Damn buddy, I'm glad you're still around, I was afraid you had dropped off the map forever! I'm happy as hell that you came back to making videos

[@therunescapehistorian]

Thanks! Had some irl stuff go down but i'm back now. Hopefully can make at least 2-3 a week

[@ronlivingstone1634]

That is right, Tzhaar city, I do like the black floor tiles with the red circuitry

[@Joshua-yh7iz]

loved the fally market screenshot, holy nostalgia!

[@Camelotsmoon]

8:25 I remember back in the day when I got my first firecape I went with crystal bow and guthans.. it took me like 3 runs, and the time I did it was when I got him behind Italy.. I nearly passed out because I had a panic attack, and I had to put on auto retaliate and kill the healers behind the safespot while calming myself down lol. Jad is for some reason, the only thing in my entire life that causes me to have panic attacks when I get to him lol; I've even done the fight kiln like a dozen times and it never makes me panic like fight caves Jad does.

[@brookie6969]

great vids, underrated channel

[@AlphaCrucis]

This place is so memorable and I loved the music.

[@grandcanyon2]

at 7:40 hes so right, thou jad is even a chanledge even on old school, i got my first fire cape at 99 rng and combat 124, using blow pipe and dragon darts and vigour. I out dmged all the healers, all i had to do was prayer flick the mage and range prayer. i think i finished it in 56 minutes.

[@ScrubMyTub]

thats rough lol

[@JustifyTheseHeathens]

:54 not that good for those stats. I got my first one in about an hour using amethyst darts and 80 range and i am by no means good at this game

[@DarkGarry1]

with the kiln, it didnt have the other 2 capes to begin with, they came out a while later and also the melee used to have a different design on launch

[@therunescapehistorian]

Ooo yea the original black cape right? Blanked on that. Good catch

[@DarkGarry1]

@@therunescapehistorian love this type of content though, nice to relive alot of stuff!

[@therunescapehistorian]

Thanks! Always good to get additional info on it. With stuff from even 10 years ago the details are hazy and on outdated websites usually

[@King_Kristof]

cool, never understood much about the caves besides lvl-3 can do it, and you can cheese the shop using chaos runes. Thanks!

[@WintersWolfRS]

14:50 is extremely wrong. Fight kiln on release was the hardest content in the game that few people got It was neutral combat style and was pure black called tokhaar kal I used it on release for corp/sigil hunting after watching “castlewars” becoming first trim comp in runescape

[@mikes7095]

I'm the one that was getting the fire cape on the Danny9760 account 😂 I think it had around 74 ranged and I was about 17 at the time.. You're right about it taking around 2 hours 😃

[@dropatrain]

7:25 And you couldn't zoom out as much, you could barely see what attack Jad was using.

[@_Jason_Animates_]

I remember seeing a lol 70 there with a d chain, d chain was 30m at that time which was insane, d chain was best in slot chest

[@giveittomebaybe5112]

Yea boi 30 mil d chain. It was always constant 30 for years

[@Pop_A_Chaderall]

Tzaar always scared me. i never liked going in there lol it just LOOKED like i was gonna die

[@Mcskittelybiscuts]

happy memories lol yeah when I quit for 6 months cause I couldnt get my cape only to come back lose again and quit for another 2 months, but hey I certainly won't forget it

[@jre5811]

I can happily watch this type of content after finally defeating Jad after years of resentment and failed attempts

[@redcloudblackcloak5677]

"Almost everyone can get a sub one-hour fire cape" Hahahaha yeah, totally. 'cries pre-zulrah ironman tears'.

[@zylle1993]

You can do sub 1 hour with RCB dude

[@MerkedTrick]

ur the classic ironman legend welcome back

[@therunescapehistorian]

:p thanks!

[@DrunkDoglol]

I remember getting the fire cape and having my name put in some tip it forum thread with fire cape owners. Good times.

[@m92quad55]

Think I used 2 crystal bows and veracs for my 1st cape. Attempts around 3 hours. Counting shots so only 1 bow degraded

[@kiptaylor3567]

The first battle royal.. good ol Jagex

[@ironman-rb8xc]

When the city first came out, I got a shield drop and sold it for 700k. I bought dragon med helm right after for 900k. SMH!

[@AnonymousAnonposter]

Back in pre eoc era the city had a graphic update and let me tell you something, personally the place look amazing. BTW next Munday rs3 will probably get new TzHaar creatures with the release of God Wars 3, fighting for the Elder God Ful, who's sleeping under the city.

[@100chickeneggs5]

nostalgia indeed, thanks.

[@ezpzfakie]

i remember i saw a firecape at duel arena like the 5th day out. everyone was following him and trying to ask him how lol

[@Datheft]

Awesome video

[@grymgaming5541]

i use to freeze up as an adult lmao. then when i came back i wanteto get kiln cape, so i had to give away fire cape so i suited up and went and beat jad. i felt amazing lmfao........ now its zuk

[@modsbymorgue7808]

I recognize that voice! RSC ironman, yeah? Subscribed.

[@tildir8516]

Every once in a while, I forget how insane Woox is, and then I'm reminded about another couple of herculean things he did a long time ago.

[@tylerkulchinsky2167]

I remember when this update came out

[@blankname8052]

I remember thinking that it was the coolest thing ever. Asking everyone what cape that guy had and how to get it.

[@ArizonaGrapeade]

Keep up the content

[@gadec4lyfe]

You were right on the shield. I tried farming them for money back then and the shield and capes were the goal. 600k for shield, 300k for capes.

[@theseek7278]

Hold on my dog is about to snore in my chair

[@nuvotion-live]

My brother, inexplicably, would pronounce it “tee-zee-kee-tum” 😂 Oh also chaos runes were “chose”. We also said “mee-lee”. Fun times

[@ricardomilos5893]

i used to buy chaos and deaths in w2 fally and hire a crafter to turn the onyxes into furys in 2005. solid 1m-1.5m profit per onyx.

[@Socomhunter]

the mage & range cape of the kiln weren't on release.. on release it was only the melee variant.

[@aleckazamproductions8139]

i'm sad. i played at this time, but i was such a scared skiller, I never went until this year lmao.

[@catlover5998]

Im simple person i just like going to interesting places that why i like this place

[@dr.rockzo7193]

Didn’t the kiln cape have ridiculous stats like +16 defensive and prayer upon original release?

[@Stoff_Rocks_Packs]

kiln was only melee cape first theey added mage and range in eoc

[@rttt159]

A dark bow or a crystal bow? My boy I did that shit with a rune crossbow as soon as I hit 80 ranged back in the day lol

[@PrincipalityofZeon]

Good ol innocent days The dial up, cmon that was 90s

[@beaubanhagel3345]

Battlegrounds for WoW were released the same month.

[@willow6566]

I remember having to fight people for kills the day it came out lol

[@jeff230394]

People used to buy obby shield for 500k or 550k and sell for 700. That's how I made my cash 💸 💰

[@Tahha5544]

Now adays if dont have a firecape ppl will legit bully you till you get one lol, i was rocking obby cape for a while, mainly only did jad cuz i was tired of ppl trashing me for using obby cape lol

[@Timmothy_plays]

Ah the lava cape,.... the cape I've seen plenty of times over the years and never owned one myself~

[@pacman_pol_pl_polska]

Microsoft WMO

[@waldevv]

I remember the release week, there was a whole bunch of people running into the fight caves and fight pits in 3 items probably thinking they weren't safe deaths. Noobs bragging how they made it to wave 20 etc

[@johndoe1139]

I started this game at 6 years old. Lmao
