Ive been playing for 15+ years, and I still cant get a firecape.

[@bknighty28]

@@sweis12 leg in air = pray mage, big stomp = pray range, use long range with any range weapon and just focus on swapping between range and mage prayers. When little heal douchenozzles come, click one of them right after a prayer swap and go back to swapping prayers. Repeat that for all four healers then just auto attack Jad focusing on swapping between the two prayers. The hardest part is not getting too excited. Dealing damage might make for a faster run but the goal is to not die. If you need to stand still not attacking and sorting your prayers out and calming down, then do it. Remember there is nothing on the line and the 45 minutes or so it took to get there is nothing in comparison to any skill related grind. Slow and steady.

The vast majority of rs3 KZbin content is just people talking about news and updates. It feels like J1mmy is kicking down a door and bringing fun content back to this side of the game again and it makes me so happy.

As someone who works full time, has social obligations, and wants to play other video games sometimes, RS3 lets me play a MMORPG and actually build progress on my account without having to spend my entire life on it. 10/10 would recommend

[@otaviorbs]

Yeah, that is why I play rs3 over osrs. I can play very little and get easy high xp rates the few hours I have

[@nawab256]

i get the appeal but it also drags the game down badly. the point of the grind is to learn the game and everything it has to offer. this game is so simple and drops so much xp that you literally dont learn anything. you literally skip 80% of the game doing that. at that point your not even playin anymore. i played rs back in 2003-2009 and i knew the map like i knew my own city. i knew quests, drops and lure. you also had to learn how to pvp because it wasnt just point and attack, it was switching gear and positioning. their was also high risk vs reward. rs3 is just brainless but i get it. its easier to play when you are an adult.

[@TheTarble1]

@@nawab256 I think it's a matter of target audience, maybe the 9-5 adults and people who cannot play 24/7 are the target audience for this features. I know I am definitely in that crowd and it appeals to me a lot. Brainless or not I just wanna chill a few hours after work. :/

[@nawab256]

@@TheTarble1 i definitely agree with you there but you could also do the same with OSRS. ya you'll be grinding more but its not like you have to spent more time. that way over time you learn the game and eventually get to the higher level stuff that you can pick from and enjoy. that's just my take.

[@XSquibX]

​@@nawab256 Are you trying to suggest Runescape hasn't always been brainless? lol I remember one of the last things I did in RS before all my friends and I quit was we formed a clan (cause that was just added in) and we went to clan wars. I had some friends over and we had laptops and played some clan wars. My mom graciously had made us lunch and called us over... and we just left our characters while in combat. We won... Auto attacks with good gear... though obviously our group was better than the opponents, but we still won without doing anything really... brainless lol

[@JohnFromAccounting]

Runescape 3 has a ton of pre-EOC quests that never made it to OSRS. They're in a weird limbo where they would fit perfectly in OSRS. These quests are actually amazing. They feel like adventures and its very easy to get swept up in the story.

[@awyrlas]

there's a ton of pre-EOC content that would fit really well into OSRS or at least be tweaked to fit.

[@belstar1128]

They have added a few from 2007 but they should add almost everything from before 2012 i missed out on a lot of them because i never got my account on a high level my main account had combat level 85 when i quit to play wow and then a few months later eoc came out.

[@anonyninja7737]

I actually recently started playing RS3 this last month. In fact, it's the first time I've ever tried playing ANY runescape game, ever. All I can say is WOW, THE QUESTS!!! THE FRIGGIN QUESTS!! They actually make you feel like you did something. They have little cutscenes and stories that are so awesome and don't take themselves too seriously but still provide very satisfying gameplay! I keep saying it over and over - the quests I have played in RS3 remind me SO MUCH of the optional quests in Zelda: OOT, and Zelda: MM on the n64. Even some of the "boss battles" at the end of the quests remind me of zelda, having to learn the attack pattern of the enemy, work around it, to do whatever it is you need in order to deal damage. It all started with me, for whatever reason, thinking "Maybe it would be fun to play WoW again"..... and I sat and thought about this a lot over a period of several weeks....but all I could think of is how boring and long the early parts of the game are, and how many times i've already done that, and debating if it was worth it to do all of it again just to access the more recent content. Bottom line is that WoW quests "TELL" instead of showing, and at the end of the day I couldn't find it in me to play that game again. .......BUT THEN! It was brought to my attention that several members of the HAM radio group I hang out with like to play RS3......and since I have never played runescape at all, in any form, decided to give it a shot.... and holy CRAP I don't regret it! MY CURRENT GOAL is actually to take the game nice and slow and enjoy the quests for awhile before I start to actually grind hard. Runescape 3 is quickly becoming "comfort media" for me..... a game I default to, a game i can play while doing other things, and a game that is literally unexplored by me at all.

[@danvexx]

enjoy man, as a player since classic I wish I could relive what you just explained haha, you're in for an adventure of a life time and a grind that never ends lol

[@RafaSheep]

You offer a very nice perspective. A tip if you're interested in story progression: there's sorting options for your quest list. There's a setting that pretty much arranges the quests based on chronology lore-wise. That way you'll be able to follow the story in order to avoid feeling lost.

[@brutakon]

i very much suggest doing the low-combat quests before you get so strong as to trivialise them

[@JuniusGaming]

Returned back to RS3 since having a 4-5 year break, Im having a blast. RS3 Is really fun as an adult who doesnt have the time I did when I was playing this game as a kid. Ive been doing Archeology and thats really one amazing skill. The lore behind everything is fantastic. Im now starting all the quests I never did years ago like Desert Treasure and having so much fun.

[@NimaTareh19]

Same situation here. Archaeology absolute favourite, it's genius

[@azaldie]

This is also what a lot of people seem to forget when they call RS3 "EasyScape" or that you can level up too fast... The game has *28* different skills, some of them go beyond 99 and requires 8x more experience to 'max out' than said 99's. Many of the people that played RS back in the day have grown up and have lives to attend to, and don't have the time to grind like they used to, just like you mentioned. RS3 simply caters more towards having people experience the new and exciting content released, a lot of it that happens to be towards the end-game (for relevancy's sake). Glad to see you're enjoying the game again! The lore sure is amazing, and if there's one suggestion I'd give to people trying out RS3 - *Don't space-bar through quests!* - you might actually find that you'll enjoy questing a lot more when you understand what's going on and get to part-take in all the little intricacies of the dialogues/cutscenes! :)

[@stellamariss3335]

Lol I’m currently doing archeology too. I never played as a kid tho so I’m a new player

[@ralphlee781]

I would love to see a series on RS3 quests. I really think J1mmy would appreciate what they've done with Runescape's story. I don't necessarily care about all of the small quests but watching him play through the last couple questlines from Missing, Presumed Death onwards would be a great watch.

[@MrBrad12435]

RS3 quests are absolute bangers, the power fantasy is top tier. Interacting with gods in a conflict that controls the fate of the world, crazy shit.

[@glumreaper8885]

I actually disagree and go more with J1mmy's thoughts. OSRS is charming because every quest is basically just some wandering adventurer getting caught up in shit that doesn't really matter. Nothing is on any sort of power level, and the drama is created by the game's politics and factions. When all is said and done, we feel more the absolute fucking thrill of getting the Fremennik to faction with the Falador Knights and kill some dragon much more than we remember the dragon fight. RS3 went too far with the savior and gods shit in my opinion.

[@soulsreaper7145]

I got back into RS3 for a few months this year and had a blast. My biggest compliment - the mining and smithing rework was AMAZING.

[@catass]

Love to see this. There really is a lot to love about rs3 once to push past the early learning pains

[@Californ1a]

Questing by release order definitely wouldn't work in RS3, because of some removals of older ones and some changes to miniquests instead of quests, so you wouldn't have enough QP to do dragon slayer, for example, if you go by release order. However, RS3 has a "Timeline" order you can sort by in the quest list, which is the true canonical story order of the full quest list - that's the actual recommended order to do them in on RS3.

[@damonbarber6828]

[@calvinnguyen1870]

I went down an RS3 wiki rabbit hole the other day, and holy shit. I wanted to look up the best money makers so I could point and laugh at the inflated economy and ended up seeing that the best money maker was killing Zamorak. Not K’ril, Zamorak. You fight Zamorak, the god. I needed an explanation. And so I started reading up on the lore and shit that happens in the quests. I learned about the elder gods, I learned about the Mahjarrat, I got to see images of what all the gods looked like (Guthix straight up looks like an NFT), I read up on the quest where Guthix fucking DIES - my god, I think I almost wanna play this game… or at least watch someone do it.

Been playing RS3 ironman for 8 years. Maxed and have had a crazy good time. Maybe people will listen to you and try it instead of instantly going lizard brain "rs3 bad" mode. Really happy with the team's decision to split the lore of OSRS and RS3 as well. Really cool stories in RS3 and they expand on a lot of the past history of RS. Learning more about the Gods and the creation of Gielinor and learning more about the Elder Gods has been awesome. Very cool how they fit our character into the narrative and even though I haven't been playing regularly as much, I'll always come back for the quests and the story.

Great vid. We need more j1mmy rs3 content.

The best solution for UI is changing it into legacy but keeping combat regular. I've been playing like that for years and its great. The whole UI was always cluttered for me and don't think I would ever play that way again. Also why is nobody talking about the music in RS3? It's sooooo good and relaxing.

[@HeavyMetalGamingHD]

nah the best solution for the UI is simply to build a proper UI for your needs. Legacy is not very good. You miss out on so much information you need

[@knowledge4741]

@@HeavyMetalGamingHD Not true really, haven't missed out on anything if you just pay attention when needed. What type of information gets missed? But yeah of course, the solution is always fix it, but use what you can.

[@HeavyMetalGamingHD]

@@knowledge4741 you really miss out when it comes to different hotbars and customizability. you will lose time by clicking more and switching between menus instead of having them open all at the same time

As a former avid RS3 player I gotta say at the end there, that is the most accurate representation of the community I found there - someone talking about others being mad - someone insulting some rando - two twin pigtails girl toons dancing at G.E - some guy just trying his best skilling - someone just laughing thats the place I remember :') mostly got burnt out from playing so many countless ages and falling out of touch with former friends there, found a nicer home in OSRS; only reason I dont play either right now is because MMO's in general kinda gatekeep me from playing through games I have in my backlog that also need attention, I will return to RS3 to complete the few quests I havent done though, I think you'd really like the Zaros questline Jimmy :) great music too

[@runespar]

For an OSRS KZbinr, Jimmy has a remarkably nuanced view of RS3.

[@TheEddagosp]

What? He just kind of ignored everything that's wrong with the game and went "eh, it was actually kind of of fun." That's a fair opinion to have, but that's the opposite of nuanced.

Being in rs3 just makes me feel melancholy more than anything else, but damn it sure is pretty. I still hop on just to grab footage but every time I do, I spend an hour sightseeing.

[@Nerdextrous]

Nice to see you put the time in to try the game fully, and that you enjoy it! RS3 doesn't get nearly enough attention.

[@limbeckk8632]

I thought it was always good. Despite everything I've always been along for the RuneScape ride.

[@Sagalink]

Man I know you won't do a by release on the rs3 quests, but I'd love at least like, a REVIEW of some of the top hitting quest(lines). Stuff like the RS3 vampire questline and the Majahrrat quests. I'm talkin halo level story in some of these quests

[@BinkyYT]

the fucking depressed nurse and the giga chad doctor has me in tears

[@fissionphoenix4995]

J1mmy mentioned that the dwarf storyline that dies off in osrs was (naturally) continued in RS3 and that it was a pretty banging questline so I was already considering it... I still want to get my main osrs account QC first, I think. Juuuuuuust after I get phoenix from wt. 544kc down rngesus knows how many more to go.

[@runetimmarkscape]

J1mmy I would love to see some vids / streams of yoou doing the RS3 quests. ( don't need to be iron/by release but would love to see your first experience / opinion of the story)

[@rubenleon9286]

I just play in legacy mode and i love it, so simple, just like runescape 2, and you can do almost every boss.

[@forgetfulfunctor1]

I'm giving this comment its 4th like, and I dont expect it to get more than 5, but goddamnit I respect your gumption kid

[@hamznaq6953]

Dimension of disaster was by far my most favorite Runescape quest on RS3

[@JohndrewtheSylveonking]

Ever since Legacy combat was added I just went back to RuneScape 3, put on Replica Metal Armor to look even more old school and just stuck with that. Didn’t really feel the drive to just start all over to play Old School. Especially since I have been playing since 2005 and made about 17 years worth of progress from RuneScape 2 into 3.

[@NEWGHOST9]

Honestly this kinda makes me wanna give RS3 a try again

[@TomJones-nh3fx]

It’s alright to be fair as long as you don’t like pvp, way easier to gain levels than old school and the combat mechanics aren’t bad once you get used to it

[@Ljrobison]

Please do a series on RS3. Even for the quests. I have been waiting for this moment and it's as great as I thought it would be. This video gave me so much dopamine and now I'm sad it's over.

[@cameronclark3418]

That was a video I never expected to see from you! Refreshing as hell! Even as a former no lifer rs3 your concerns are perfectly valid. I’ve found switching between the two versions every couple months helps with burn out

[@omegahaxors3306]

Ending reminds me of when I got the Captain title. I bought some pirate clothes changed my name and roleplayed as Captain Crunch.

[@hak-en-slash4636]

It’s really nice to see RS3 doing pretty well, I don’t think I have plans to play it anytime soon but I might look into playing it sometime in the future.

[@devonsenpai7907]

Both games are amazing and I'm tired of not saying it lmao. People really have to give RS3 a chance.

[@styxzero1675]

I gave it a shot before, it's not bad but the daily chores really burned me out, yea you can "not do them" but then you feel super inefficent. I don't really care about the MTX scheme because I played an iron anyway but the dailys are the worst part about RS3 and there are so many of them like 20+ they can fill up your entire daily schedual for maximum efficancy. If RS3 got rid of the dailys I think more OSRS players would give RS3 an actual shot. But as it is now this is the big scarecrow for OSRS players.

[@tomcustard]

Great point about the UI, fixing it or making the process simpler or even providing a tutorial on set up for new players should be a higher priority for Jagex.

Can you finish the quest series, for the love of bandos

[@Jamsterman25]

I don’t think anyone would mind you de-ironing by release as long as you still get the quest items manually. Easing the grind for faster content is always better!

[@3chromedomed]

J1mmy I think you'd really enjoy the latest quest lore with gwd3 or elder God wars. It ties in the elder artifacts, elder gods and even the new skills. Sadly it's the most developed story taking on lore from a lot of the other grandmaster quests too.

[@Smokethereport]

I’m 19 so never even played old RuneScape when I was young, I grew up playing RuneScape 3 and I absolutely loved the game, tried to get back into it recently but found it hard to play because it didn’t seem as good as my nostalgic version of it. Absolutely loved the god wars

[@bigbadbessy8467]

Most skills in rs3 have 1m+ xp an hour method. The game is really built for adults with full time jobs and families The worst part about the new quests is having to do archeology

[@SympleSyn]

As a 200m xp all skills RS3 player who consumes a lot of content both OSRS and RS3, it was fantastic to see J1mmy actually give RS3 a shot. Especially him enjoying the lore. I get the hate for early game RS3, but the endgame is top notch. Once fresh start worlds join the main game, I would fund some bils of GP to see him work through the Elder Gods storyline that just wrapped up with GWD3.

[@TakiUdon]

[@bergzwerver]

As mentioned in this weeks RS dev stream "rs3 is not easy scape, goals are faster but there are many more goals". This game has a lot to do even though it may seem crazy fast at the start.

[@cibrig8719]

as someone who just picked up rs3, and is fairly new to osrs the "the game doesn't suck only the early game sucks" argument applies to both. I've been playing osrs for like a year and I'm still barely even mid game, and if it wasn't for some friends dragging me through the dirt carrying me through content I'd be broke and unmotivated, and I still have people telling me when I complain about stuff like mage upgrades and get a fat "Oh it gets better you just have to get through that slog" and I dont think vet osrs players realize that since they've been playing it for so long they're used to the ancestrals being the only meaningful mystic upgrade or how the only way you can make it to said endgame is through degen amounts of hours played a day, or having friends like mine who are willing to take your venny looking ass to bandos and hope for a bcp to kickstart your cash
