What you should know before starting OSRS

Available for the next 30 days only!

Oldschool runescape is an extremely indepth game. It's one of the longest lasting MMOs on the market and that has given players like me time to make mistake after mistake. In today's video, I cover the things I wish I knew before I ever started my journey.

This video will hopefully give you a sense of direction on your account and help you succeed in the game.

What you should know before starting OSRS 2023

Play Oldschool Runescape now, a free to play (F2P) online MMORPG:

The reason why I like Old School instead of runescape 3 is because leveling up is like affection from a parent: having less of it makes it so that every time you get it, you feel a lot better.

Biggest thing is:
Do stuff you have fun with, don't do grinds you don't enjoy at all.
If you have to do something that is annoying - do it a bit every day, just small sessions
Helped me a lot :)

"Insane requirements, such as having friends" I felt that dawg

[Luthstorm]

I maxed almost 4 years ago. I was one of those kids who started out in f2p who couldn't really fathom getting past level 50 in a skill. I mean wow....50k xp till the next level? Who could possibly do that? I eventually realized that what I needed was distractions while playing such as watching youtube. Doing stuff like that definitely helps out the long hours.

Now, obviously I wouldn't recommend this to everyone. However if you happen to have a job that allows you to have your phone or maybe a tablet out but you can't really do intense stuff, you could try to get super big goals like say 200m cooking. I managed to get 200m cooking in 2021 almost exclusively at work. Of course not every job will let you do that and it took me about 3 months roughly of just cooking sharks but if you can afk at work that's a good goal to work for in my opinion.

I get you gotta get paid, but 20% of the video being an ad is rough

[rickysutphin]

What I like to tell people is, If you get 75 woodcutting you can chop magic trees and sell them to the ge for 1k each. I'm really bad at rs. I'm pretty good at woodcutting though.

[SculptedThoughts]

I wish someone warned me before I spent two days tricking the mage NPC into giving me 2k+ mind and 2k+ air runes that I couldn't take them off Tutorial Island, lol

experienced player here, came across this video to get a friend of mine into osrs and gota say you did a great job covering the basics and how the game should be played to enjoy! good work my guy

[baddksounds]

Great video as always. I got outta my shell in this game by watching your vorkath guide and just jumping right into bossing and it’s totally changed my experience in a positive way. It felt so good to finally overcome nerves and do something new. Thanks again!

[xenic]

I just started playing yesterday and it's been a lot of fun 😄 videos like this really help noobies like me!

[xJPJ]

Pretty much everyone’s goal is to max in this game and I truly believe base 70s, 75s, 80s and so on is very key

[DeSchft]

Man, I love watching your videos while grinding skills, makes the grind less of a struggle!

[DainerCalderon]

Nice video, I was a goldfarmer back in 2016-2020 and I hated this game so much for the reason of making lots of xp and gp everyday for hours (logical feedback for doing something that don't like you or you aren't comfortable with), now 2 years later, I want to give a new try to the game because I know there is a lot of fun things that you can do in game. The way and dynamic of your video motivate me to do so. In my 4 years trip playing for real money, I have to say the most fun thing that you can do is joining a clan, if you are lucky enough you can meet nice people there, playing others game or even make lifetime friends! That happened to me, and the end, I thank this game for many things that gave me in the hard times. Now is my time to give back a bit of respectful play, thanks for your video, see you in Lumbridge!

The best runescape experience is that limbo state where ur not playing it, but kinda want to because of good RS youtube vids.

[Noman]

You touched on gp efficiency efficencyscape but I think a lot of charm of doing quests in whatever order you want is a good thing too. Setting medium term goals for quests like getting barrows gloves or an unlock like lunar/ancients is a good way to not burn out doing that as well

[caddydaddy]

Great tips, I just started playing and I've been bitten HARD by the RuneScape bug. Can't wait to see all that RuneLight can do

[theinsanegamer]

That last tip... trust me, the grind is way easier if you manage to socialize. It's scary, it's not for everyone, but when you have someone to talk with when you're doing things, whether bossing or just skilling, it becomes way easier to manage. Way more fun. One of the best memories I had was being in a discord call, killing some ice giants on white wolf mountain for slayer, and watching my character dance around half the mountain, occasionally taking shots at the giant. It was frustrating but funny, and way more manageable because my friends were listening to me talking about his dance around the mountain.

[MitchellWinning]

Appreciate the mindset point of view on this one, why not grind and have fun!

[runeritari]

mentality is that i am hunting vorkath pet, working towards that cerberus pet hunt aswell and gg pet hunt, i do phantom muspah about 20-30 kills for pet (only one i need for greenlock) or afk mining amethyst towards 99 magic, then do some slayer whenever i feel like it and back to afk mining when im tired of game
