The Red Topaz Rollercoaster - Skill Guided #7

[@clairevoyantarachnea]

Never thought I'd be so hyped to see someone cut a red topaz.

[@IIxIxIv]

I'm almost crying lmao

[@Tysteriskians]

The fact that it was discovered only a month after this upload that there is a 1/1k chance to get an uncut red topaz from searching empty crates is both soul crushing and hilarious

[@FrankGlymes]

It had been discovered on prior to this I believe, and I use it later on to get one! I just hadn't discovered that it had been discovered haha

[@K16711]

The surprise crafting xp from forestry was pretty funny, reminds me of the time j1mmy accidentally got farming levels from tears of guthix on by release, the agony was real

[@FrankGlymes]

Haha true! Agony is correct, stupid Forestry

[@Potatezone]

Ah yes, crafting! Just get 75 farming first to do this thing at level 19. Absolutely bonkers skill guide. What an insane account!

[@FrankGlymes]

Weird requirement for it hey, wonder what the mods were thinking some times haha

[@sjoerdglaser2794]

That jumping in the barrel animation was the best and totally unexpected! I always love OSRS series that explore these weird unknown parts of the game.

[@FrankGlymes]

First time I saw it I was speechless hahaha

[@DanielHatchman]

I found out today that if you fail the fishing trailer, you have to climb on a floating barrel to get back to land. Also I almost made it solo, was a good effort, had less than 1 min remaining.

[@DanielHatchman]

​@@FrankGlymestrawler

[@FrankGlymes]

Haha yeah I found that out on my main when going for Angler's. So weird. Solo sounds difficult!

[@Freezinggreece2]

​@FrankGlymes dude, i lucked way out with my angler set. Only took 19 games. While i was there, I saw some people who had been through 100+ games 😅

[@burkedigital]

The turns of luck have been so funny to watch. This is such a unique take on OSRS while also leaning into the inherent system.

[@FrankGlymes]

Thank you so much! It's definitely taking me to weird and wonderful parts of the game

[@Machinist_2]

The jumping in the apple barrel, the red topaz grind, the beers…it’s all SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!! 😃😃😃 GZZZZZ mate!!! - Machinist_2

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks legend for the continued support!! I love the silly animations in this game

[@MrCrockpotter]

My favorite part of the Red Topaz journey was you sniping those hatchets with absolute ease. Well done!

[@FrankGlymes]

Maaate you're a legend for watching it all, thanks! And yeah I love getting spooned hahaha

[@Bradnauseam119]

obligatory "big spoon or little spoon?" comment @@FrankGlymes

[@Haerdalas]

For the record, if you run out of plant cure in the future; You can buy plant cure (and a few other farming tools/goods) directly from the farmers overseeing each patch by going through a dialogue tree. Its more expensive, and very slow, but its faster than walking to Draynor and back. Great episode. The hunt for the Red Topaz has been very entertaining.

[@FrankGlymes]

Onwards and upwards! So glad to be done with it haha

[@CeruleanSpider]

An hour of skill guided for me to watch as soon as i wake up later? Mr Glymes you shouldn't have! Lookin' forward to this one.

[@FrankGlymes]

I couldn't wait any longer I was so keen to get another video out! Hope you enjoy it!

[@CeruleanSpider]

@@FrankGlymes Finally got around to watching the vid, was super busy yesterday. Mith Axe on first kill, hell yeah. Skill Guided's luck is on the up and up!

[@CeruleanSpider]

and then straight back down with the crafting XP from the shitty secateur's blade. Funny shit.

[@CeruleanSpider]

After all that fuckin' around, finally the cut red topaz!

[@FrankGlymes]

hahaha a lot of nonsense that's for sure! Glad we got there in the end, thanks for watching mate!@@CeruleanSpider

[@HughMungusXD]

That ice giant fight was more enjoyable than watching actual boss fights

[@FrankGlymes]

It felt like a boss fight tbh haha

[@Falkuzrules]

Somehow I totally forgot to watch this even though I had it bookmarked, so then the new one showed up and you talked about having cut the red topaz and I was like "I don't remember that!" Still loving these videos, and I certainly won't say 'no' to hour-long episodes. Now onto the next!

[@FrankGlymes]

Glad people like the longer videos! Takes a while to edit and I feared they were too long but sometimes there's just too much progress!

[@repetitivemusicenthusiast]

Man what a rabbit hole this has been!! Keep up the great work and grind! Cant wait to see furture adventures!

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks legend! Expect more rabbit holes soon!

[@alexmachan3255]

This really shows how bad cooking the new unlocks is in terms of the burning rate. Love the series so far!

[@FrankGlymes]

Glad you're loving it! And yeah it really does haha

[@jeram116]

glad the PC got fixed, was getting worried. this is my favourite series right now

[@FrankGlymes]

Me too! Thanks for your continued support legend!

[@Myazmic]

Nice, just finished watching last episode and saw there was a hidden video, so I knew this was coming soon. Really liking the logic paths and hyper-niche methods you've done.

[@FrankGlymes]

Ahhh nice find! So glad you're enjoying the series!

[@krisyums]

I'm so happy you have your new best-in-slot ring now! Never thought a Red Topaz ring would be that, yet here we are!

[@FrankGlymes]

Haha it probably will be for a while!

[@washingtonirving9726]

Another Episode? Love that for us.

[@FrankGlymes]

I really do say that a lot haha

[@UntouchableSSB]

I hope I wasn't the only one rooting for you to crush that red topaz, it's so entertaining. When you got the axes so quickly, I thought it was fate making sure you could go back to hunting those gem rocks and crush some more Red Topaz.

[@FrankGlymes]

Hahaha I think I'd crushed enough for a lifetime. Though I'm sure I'll crush more when I come back to them

[@DanielHatchman]

You are devil incarnate 😈 😛

[@BluecapBC]

Loved it when you got that mithril axe, nice!

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks! Felt like a big achievement haha

[@celtich]

An hour of skillguided?? Well my day is off to a great start! 💙

[@FrankGlymes]

Love that for you mate! Enjoy the rest of your day!

[@CTRIsTheBest]

i laughed so hard when you kept burning the trouts xD

[@FrankGlymes]

My pain and frustration even I laugh at when editing the episode haha

[@singerderek1404]

My favorite series on youtube!! love it

[@FrankGlymes]

That's awesome!! Thank you!!

[@Bradnauseam119]

Love this series! Best part was definitely the 6 opals in a row. Painful for sure

[@FrankGlymes]

You're a legend, thanks for watching mate! So painful haha

[@oldOlorin]

Omg this series is incredible!! Btw I believe you can talk to any farmer to buy cure... For next time 😉

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)

[@leflavius_nl5370]

babe wake up Frank uploaded again!

[@FrankGlymes]

Hahaha worth waking up for I hope!

[@MainEC-]

My guy. I was having a horrible day and then I saw you uploaded and it made it not so bad. Thanks FrankGlymes

[@FrankGlymes]

Glad I could help mate! Tomorrow is a new day

[@MSilentstrikeM]

For future brewing you can do it at Keldagrim. You don't need to finish the Giant Dwarf, just start it to enter the city. The brewing there just requires coins to buy the yeast. The fastest way to get there is also the Blast Furnace minigame teleport you get after getting to Keldagrim once.

[@FrankGlymes]

Doesn't starting Giant Dwarf require 16 Firemaking to start? I need to do some more crafting for Shades of Mort'ton first, but yeah I'll brew there at some point in the future!

[@hippieboy16]

The butter churning got me. Then you hit me with the comment below. It's like you're in my mind

[@FrankGlymes]

It got me too hahaha

[@celnex-is4ls]

love the longform video ty so much! it helps with my own grinds :)

[@FrankGlymes]

Love to hear that! Good luck on the grind

[@DanielHatchman]

Holy shit! The Red Topaz cut!!!!

[@FrankGlymes]

I almost thought it was never going to happen hahaha

[@jxntxn1462]

What up Frank Gloiymes?! Love the series!

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks mate!! Much appreciated!!

[@ulabgaming]

Just so you know you can talk to the farmers at each patch and buy plant cure. Its just one at a time and slow.

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks mate! I won't forget!

[@DanielHatchman]

Whaaat!?

[@diegofernandeztrujillo2517]

Bless this long video Mr. Glymes!

[@FrankGlymes]

Seems everyone likes the long videos!

[@kezron88]

Great episode, loved the ending

[@FrankGlymes]

Love that! Thanks legend for watching the whole thing!

[@KaradachTheHun]

I've been playing this game for 19 years and I've never once seen that apple press animation. Crazy the things you see with bizarre accounts like this

[@FrankGlymes]

Hahaha I mean who would actually go and make their own cider

[@PiikachUwU_OSRS]

Lol I was wondering if someone would mention the Xerician thing. It's Zerishun - rhymes with Phoenician (spelling wise) or "secretion" is a more recognisable word but with "i" sound not "e" sound in middle :D

[@FrankGlymes]

I try to say it properly now haha

[@Florida_Kilo]

You never disappoint chief been looking forward to this!

[@FrankGlymes]

Me too! Thank you so much! You're such a legend

[@tristanross4557]

awesome as always. love the videos!

[@FrankGlymes]

Thank you so much!

[@jackstaumer2498]

the irony of the red topaz is the one thing you took a break from ended up being where you got the topaz lmao but hey that cooking is going to be needed for other things especially rfd so i dont think it was waisted time

[@FrankGlymes]

I could've saved a whole lot of time haha But you're right, would need to Cook and Farm eventually anyway

[@matte5705]

Hey just a heads up, if you talk to the gardener at any farming spot you can buy plant cure through dialogue for 25gp instead of walking to draynor :)

[@FrankGlymes]

Ahhh yes, I'll remember this now I completed forgot!

[@jzipsRS]

HOW GOOOOOOOOOD!!

[@FrankGlymes]

How bloody gooooood!!! Thanks for rhe support legend!!

[@TheAdypoker]

honestly, the best part was that opal roll of 8 in a row...

[@FrankGlymes]

Was it 8? Omg haha too many Opals!

Nice, finally a longer video!

[@FrankGlymes]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching legend

[@unlimitedshrimp]

THE CLUTCH AXE DROP

[@FrankGlymes]

Unbelievable scenes!

[@DanielHatchman]

The game feels bad about the Topaz 😂

[@anthonyanderson2447]

Maybe I’m missing a requirement here but.. I thought u are able to start giant dwarf without having the requirements for it, and it would give you full access to keldagrim and thus a war hammer shop carrying the black war hammer you need for str?

[@FrankGlymes]

I'll try it out to start it, but I thought I needed the Firemaking level! Will report back!

[@RoseOfTheDawn]

glad you finally got the red topaz but im ngl i wouldve laughed SO HARD if you failed to cut the gem again LMAO

[@regista4]

This video convinced me that Forestry is stupid, 10/10

[@FrankGlymes]

Indeed!

[@regista4]

@@FrankGlymes I was crying with laughter at you discovering they'd added even more stupid items to the forestry kit in the next episode. I didn't mind the idea of making woodcutting more social and a bit more interesting but they've managed to make it unnecessarily complicated and tedious with all these annoying items that aren't really worth the effort.

[@FrankGlymes]

100% agree with you there mate! Glad you enjoyed my pain hahaha

[@allstar2340]

Is it possible that you could get some form of weapon poison to save combat xp? Instead of relying on RNG with killing mammoths, or maybe the pre-venom NPCs with a main and just have some damage done by your account? Just a thought.

[@FrankGlymes]

I've gotten the venom to work for other NPCs but I thought maybe the mammoth regenerated HP too slowly and it wouldn't work - I couldn't get it to work! Poison I can get from some NPCs like Temple Spiders etc so may try this now that I have protect from melee

[@iSwitchMobile]

A new progress vid? How GOOD?! Xd

[@FrankGlymes]

How gooooood! Thanks for the support legend!

[@adolphin8342]

If I was going for the red topaz, I'd have just done part of one small favor until the part with the gnome glider and the runway lights. Crush it? Spend 500 go to get another.

[@FrankGlymes]

One Small Favour has a crafting requirement to start it unfortunately, I don't think I'd be able to do that

[@adolphin8342]

@@FrankGlymes I think the crafting req is to cut the gems on that runway. I could be wrong though

[@FrankGlymes]

Worth investigating when I need a topaz again in the future, I always take it at face value with quests that you need to have the level to start the quest - but I've already proven myself wrong with other quests haha! Thank you very much@@adolphin8342

killer stuff my dude

lol rfd thankfully a little way off

[@deinemama535]

Loooool Gz for you axe Nice

[@FrankGlymes]

Thanks!

[@J01000]

It might get explained later in the video, but why do you need black knives AND darts? why is that different from attack where you don't need to get a dagger, sword, longsword, scim, AND 2h before you get the next unlock?

[@FrankGlymes]

I mean, you're right. I probably don't need to have them for that reason... I guess in my head it kind of seemed like melee weapons are all equally obtainable like that but ranged weapons weren't. Yet I literally have a poll from earlier in the series where people voted for only one type of ranged weapon being needed haha Either way, Ranged will only continue until 16 when the Blurite Crossbow royally stuffs me around haha

[@J01000]

​@@FrankGlymes yeah, that obviously gets a lot less true as you go up in tiers but that's kinda the point i guess But as for specifically knives/darts/thrownaxes, since they're all mechanically identical (excluding blowpipe stuff) it seems weird to care about getting more than one

[@FrankGlymes]

True, tbh I'd prefer not to be so nitpicky about it all and progress with just one as I have been haha

[@J01000]

@@FrankGlymes Yeah, I like the warhammer / other weapon distinction for melee, though i worry for your sanity when you get close to level 65 in your various combat stats since 3a technically exists

[@FrankGlymes]

The sanity will be tested, though 3rd age will likely be an exception - way too rng dependent@@J01000

[@runeritari3]

Wouldnt one small favour let you cut red topaz at end tho? when you're fixing the lamps? but also my number 1 series upload is good day to see EDIT: Nvm, the shilo villaghe crafting exp would skip levels

[@UntouchableSSB]

You can crush the red topaz in one small favour, too. Then you have to go get more, which on this account has been painful indeed.

[@FrankGlymes]

Yep, you're right! So glad you're enjoying the series mate!
