Today we are going to be looking at the most common mistakes players tend to make while getting accustomed to osrs. These are mostly geared at mid level players, but a lot of these are common across many skill levels.

In the wise words of Mudkip: “playing efficiently and burning out is less efficient than playing inefficiently and enjoying yourself”

[LPcrazy_]

I don't often hear people talk about how loosely we define "AFK" in OSRS, and it's always made zero sense how someone could say clicking every 10 seconds is somehow AFK. Glad to see I'm not the only one who bucks this trend.

[toharnaftaly]

thank you for telling people to do what they want, not everything is efficiency people forget to enjoy what they are doing because they are so deep in efficiency

[masterofthecontinuum]

A bond costs around 1 hour of minimum wage work. Keep that in perspective if you are grinding 15 hours ingame just to sustain your membership.

7:21 agree 100%. Im currently in the middle of my 99 construction grind (lvl 92 rn so literally halfway done) and constantly take vorkath run breaks, fishing, mining, anything else when i feel like i dont wanna train con at that particular moment. Never lock yourself to a grind, burnout is usually what follows

[weezer]

I own pet stingrays, so for fun I absolutely refuse to purchase or eat any stingray I find. I have an entire bank tab dedicated to keeping any stingray I find in the game.

[Isaac-ulyz]

the AFK method has helped me so much. Ill AFK while im doing something that doesn't require my full attention, and when I want to focus on the game ill do a high xp high attention method and it feels fulfilling getting a level up after a few hours and I dont get burned as easily. the XP adds up slowly but surely.

A note on the manta ray/dark crab comparison...

Dark crabs weigh less than mantas, granted only 0.05kg less but still this does actually make them better than mantas as well.

[Noxlion]

Great video! Even as a max combat player I didn't realize Dark Crabs heal the same as Mantas. I also agree that I have way more fun playing inefficiently than efficiently.

[freshhobos]

This video came at a perfect time for me! just started yesterday and i'm pretty addicted. Thanks for this!

Me hiding my Rapier after watching this..

Bro, your videos are generally full of great advice, but the comments are LOADED with great advice. Love the feedback you get on this channel. The community is awesome.

Agree w AFK methods, I'm nearing base 80 on all combat stats via AFK training, and I plan to AFK Runecraft and Mining for sure.

I will say I am HARD leveling Construction to 86 to be able to fill out a house because I feel like the value is so there. 81 now 💪. However, I'm doing Mahogany Homes because the standard construction leveling is mind-numbing to me and outrageously expensive.

I hopped back into the game recently after ~10 years and have been loving it. End goal is the quest cape I think but I’m gonna take my time just enjoying unlocking new content I haven’t seen before.

[sylvariatzaka]

Slow and steady wins the race.

I hated mining/runecrafting so I did shooting stars and zeah runecrafting all the way to 99.

It took ages, but because I didn't hate doing the content (since it was so afk/easy), I was able to reach my goal.

Efficiency is pointless if you only want to do it for 30 minutes or 1 day before giving up. Know yourself and your limits.

[oscargonzalez]

Can you make a video analyzing the 3rd age prices? The "cheap" ones seem to be going wild

[moveit]

I just started playing about 12 days ago... and while I've been playing a ton this time around... one of the best things I did to give me a direction and motivation was using the Quest Helper Plugin using the ordering option "Optimal".

Then as you get further into the quest guide you start realizing you'll need certain things to progress... a few levels in woodcutting... or a few levels in fishing... This gives you a really really long path to play the game... eventually you'll hit a wall (probably agility) but by that time you'll have a firm grasp and understanding.

This was super helpful just getting me into the game because I always felt overwhelmed playing runescape - even as a super veteran MMO player.

I remember keeping Krakens blocked because every guide said they were awful slayer xp/hr but when I tried them on a lark once I was blown away by how chill the kraken boss was and I have over 2k kills on him now, I definitely got a lot more xp out of them than I did a lot of the more commonly seen 'efficient' tasks just because it was easier for me to toss a fishing explosive than to focus on higher intensity barraging methods at the time. Great guide and I'll definitely be showing this to people if they ask me for rs tips for newbies

[dvgolf]

I play this game for 20 years and I actually found myself enjoying the game more when I lock myself to some grind, Iam doing it like for last year and its more effective for me, I tried Zulrah for the first time and when I get my first kill I told to myself that I wont leave until blowpipe. I have done almost 600kc in 2 weeks (with 10kc/h :)) and it was quite enjoyable, or last grind was 76-92 mining, i was afking stars for like 14h a day and i was enjoying it.

Mby iam weird lol, but i like it

[ohXerosis]

but what if im 3/4 on soulreaper axe? i have to stay at whisperer before i go anywhere else lol

[GamerFozzy]

I totally agree with the "Finishing a Grind" segment. I spent two weeks doing nothing but Wintertodt to get 99 firemaking and then spent another two weeks doing nothing but Guardians getting 77 Runecrafting and trust me when I tell you, it crushed me. Mentally I was done with the game but after a weeks break I came back with renewed energy but I lost out on a week of progress

Thanks for the content. Was aerial fishing whilst watching this and just got my heron at 4m xp. Thanks :D
