This Runescape Myth is Actually Real

Mythbusting Runescape! I had a lot of fun putting your suggestions to the test. If you have a myth or theory you'd like me to test out, make sure to leave in the comments below. OSRS is such a massive, in-depth game, I'm sure we can come up with some awesome things together. :) Enjoy!

Soup please try and die on a HC Ironman with your cat while in a clan chat. Usually Hardcores get a message of what they've been killed by. Never seen it be a cat tho.

Counting tiles is not the most accurate way to tell what takes longer because of how running is calculated in this game (i.e., traveling forward 2 squares in one tick). Since you can never run 1 tile, it's possible paths that include more tiles are actually faster if they include paths that never have you stopping to walk single tile distances. It's more accurate to just use a stopwatch.

I feel like the boars have something to do with SouthPark in the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" They killed a bunch of boars to level up so they can kill the griefer.

13:16 you say you need 63 agility for this shortcut but you actually need 91

[foragingadventures]

take a shot every time Soup calls Ahrim "Ahrims"

[WelcomeBackMeHere]

Myth: The Barrows brother's name is Ahrims. False. His name is Ahrim. The "s" is only at the end to indicate possessive form when talking about an item that belongs to him, like Ahrim's staff.

[PerseRipuli]

A classic Jagex move would be to slap a 96 agility requirement to climb the tiny little rocks that block the path on Castle Drakan wall

[pressf]

Since you move up to two tiles when running, comparing which of two paths are quicker is not the same as counting total tiles. I counted both birdhouse paths taking 15 ticks of movement (including the run back to the mushtree).

[Low_RAM_Advantage]

Soup calling him "Ahrims" unsettles me.

[Kungfujoe]

I haven't done like _a ton_ of barrows runs...
...but TIL about the Strange Old Lockpick working at Barrows. That would've been nice to know beforehand, lol

[podageelife]

soup I have a myth for the next episode!

Myth - Pouring compost before planting your herb seed yields more herbs vs planting your seed and then pouring the compost

[jonwhan]

Ngl. If this series goes long, it's going to be cited in so many arguments.

This series could save friendships haha.

[Davion]

12:48 - That beep randomly playing throughout this music kept making me think my oven was finished preheating...

[zachsawyer]

I wanna know whats the best possible percentage you can get from the maze random event

[jadsosad]

I get irrationally irked when people call the brothers "Ahrims, " "Dharoks, " etc. and not Ahrim, Dharok, Verac, etc.

[genghisdingus]

This video made me realize I should get strange old lockpicks on my Ironman and use them to skip door routes which require me to loop all the way around.

[drakemcfayden]

9:40 you say blue path is faster because 28 tiles < 29 tiles, but you didn't account for the number of ticks it takes to get to each house/the mushtree. Taking the sum of the ticks to each checkpoint shows that the running for each path takes 15 ticks.

BLUE:
To first House
5 ticks
To second house
6 ticks
To Mush Tree
4 ticks

RED:
To first House
2 ticks
To second house
6 ticks
To Mush Tree
7 ticks

[Sigel]

I'm assuming the boars are a "Make Love, Not Warcraft" South Park reference.

I don’t care if it’s more efficient. If you go to the northern birdhouse first, you are weird haha.

[OmnieStar]

Now what I wanna know is. Is using your digsite necklace to go to the digsite and taking the boat faster then going to the mushrooms and having to walk back down for the first birdhouse, faster or slower.
