I don't have any "mistakes" in OSRS because I play and enjoy the game the way I want to... Some might call me a shitter for not having an inferno cape, but guess what? Those people are just a bunch of nerds and losers who are probably unhappy about their sex life and release their frustration on other players on OSRS. RSN - Extsi

My biggest mistake so far is relying too heavily on guides and the wiki, instead of enjoying and learning the content as I play. RSN: BadMittenz

My biggest mistake was putting off quest cape. I didn’t get it until like 115 combat and I regret it. Not having to worry about doing quests does wonders for my mental and helps me focus on other grinds!

My biggest mistake was not knowing you could set warnings on alchables, and accidentally equipping a platebody and alching my graceful top

I go for all the skilling outfits just because it usually gets me a few levels in the skill without really focusing on xp/hr

6:02 I disagree for the lumberjack outfit. It takes like 30 minutes to get it in the minigame.

The last point is a really good one! Even at my worst, I buy a bond a week which is only $32/month (even though realistically I buy 1 bond a month or less now). For how much time I spend on this game, the value is there for me EASILY. But in reality, I don't mind supporting this game since i LOVE OSRS and want to see the game do well. Also, the bossing tip is actually low key a really good one. I didn't believe you at first when you said it, but now that I've taken a break from PVM, I've made much more significant progress towards maxing. Once I max, I can then focus all my energy on PVM!

Lumberjack outfit takes less than an hour... comparing it to the other outfits that take 12 hours is crazy

I am a maxed player that only regrets leaving construction and crafting as the last skills to max

About the skilling outfits: I recommend the construction one. 2.5% bonus xp means 2.5% less gp spent I went for it before the maxing grind, and it's not a waste of time, since you also get good xp for good xp in the path towards it

Just did the fishing trawler grind so I have to correct one thing. Games take 5 minutes yes, but there's a 1 minute wait between games. This means you can only do 10 games per hour, and roughly 5 hours for the set.

I think my biggest mistake since 2004 was thinking i could never max because of skills like runecrafting, agility, farming, thieving, construction and mining I'm not maxed yet, but i have 99 in those skills and others which kinda cleared the path for me to max my acc with the other skills

I make this mistake, despite being aware of it. I still hyper fixate on a grind and burn myself out doing so. Every year I would do a massive quest grind only to stop questing for a whole year. Another mistake I used to make was reselling gear to buy other gear for short term playing. Every time I buy gear, I ask myself if I will actually use it and use it enough to justify the purchase.

Drop rates: I do herb runs. the expected value is ~9 herbs per patch.... I conditioned myself to say "That's not how probability works" when I got more or less than 9 herbs. ie, "Hell yeah! I got 96 herbs on 8 patches! I'm rich!" *that's not how probability works* "Damn, 3 herbs died & this game sucks!" *that's not who probability works* Just grind, and probability will work itself out.

I'm glad you made the point about bonds. In my clan chat I've seen people imply that it's bad to spend any real money on the game, even for membership. It's like they have something to prove by playing members for "free." Personally I do not have time to do grinds just for members, and I also don't think it's actually free if you have to earn an extra 10mil+ every couple weeks. Personally, I bonded a few key construction levels and do not feel any type of way about it. But we all play how we like :)

I would never buy Bonds as for me it devalues my accomplishments. I'd look at my bank and see not the hours I grinded to get that gear, but instead my credit card. However, I appreciate that you buy gold the official way and not blackmarket.

the mistake i made that i feel kinda was big was making a hardcore ironman when im very paranoid about death in the game

a tip i would add is if you care/going to care about collection logs, get alot of those grinds done at efficient times. get the skilling outfits early, lower level collection logs like camdozal, brimhaven agility course before 99, etc.

My biggest mistake would be focusing so much on melee stats early on. I’m level 125 and have so much slayer to do, but I’m already almost maxed so I feel like I could’ve leveled both slayer and melee at the same time. Rsn: 28 Grams

My biggest mistake was not learning about bossing/PvMing sooner, it's such a fun and rewarding content, and you don't need to be maxed to enjoy it (i'm almost maxed).

I'm stuck in the early mid game... At that special level where some bosses are technically possible but unless you have a foundation they are nearly impossible to learn BTW thank you for the speed run thing for jad... 15 attempts and zero fire capes largely from not getting the healers pulled and killed before jad fully heals, and I die from resource starvation Being able practice transitioning from prayers to npcs would be fantastic

one thing on the outfits, the angler outfit is used for tempoross which is one of the best training methods for fishing as well. similar to prospectors.

Rogues and Graceful outfits are truly worth it, everything else is extra from doing minigames. You might as well get them if you intend to 99 the skill and they're not that hard to get. You're not a bot, you're not gonna efficiently get to 99, that 2.5% helps when you're already spending so much time grinding. You can only spend so much time 2/3 tick skills to 99 before you want to blow your brains out. The outfits benefit people who afk grind more than anything.

RSN Long Donk #1 mistake is putting off skulking in favour of PVM. It’s what I enjoy but there’s so many other aspects of the game that compliment your PVM journey if you take the time to invest time outside of killing monsters.

The biggest mistake ive made was playing a main account. I honestly got burnt out really fast just chasing gold and buying stuff. When I switched to exclusively playing iron ive been going strong for over 2 years without getting demoralized because everything you do actually matters for your account

Hmm... I'm working on the soulreaper axe at 3/4 pieces Whisperer being my last grind without a shadow on my iron so when you brought up that goal it hit a little close to home although I've been pretty spooned on my axe pieces but 4 min kills is kinda miserable.

On the topic of drop rates, when I was getting my dragon defender (just the dragon, not all the way up) I got both halves of the crystal key and multiple rune full helms in the basement before I got my defender. RNG is weird sometimes.

I think you are missing the point with some of those skilling outfits. Fishing Trawler is easy, quite fun and v short. The fish rewards are good for cooking. The outfit helps at Tempeross and will be upgraded, and you need it for an otherwise trivially easy combat achievement. Most importantly, collection log is more fun and rewarding than mere 99 grinds.

My mistake was not setting good goals. The biggest break I took from the game was in the middle of a massive vorkath grind. But after I learned to set REASONABLE and SPECIFIC goals, I was having way more fun playing. Goals like "catch one of every impling barehanded". It sounds silly, but seeing it written down got me to finally train hunter and visit Puro Puro, not because I "needed" to, but because I wanted to.

My biggest mistake is trying to learn every single boss mechanic and their attacks first without just trying to the boss out with slight knowledge then going back and learning everything. A good example of this is ToA. You can watch in depth guides on every boss mechanic and you'll end up overwhelmed because it so much. The way I avoided this I did a learner 0 to 50 invo DUO raid with someone that knows it and I had them explain just the basics just get through the raid with them on the spot. Once you do this, then I recommend going and watching in depth guides because they'll make more sense from there and you can progress your learning quicker and at ease that way. A lot of bosses/raids have so much mechanics, specials, attacks, etc... but a lot of them can honestly just be ignored with min detail and there might be 1 more 2 things you actually need to really look out for. I did this same method learning new invos to add to my solo runs too. Another example is Vorkath, he has a lot of different attacks and specials, but honestly, you just need to know when to move over 2 tiles and count ever 6 attacks for his 2 specials and that's really it.. you don't need to know every detail, it'll get overwhelming. Why do you think people like "to the point" guides that makes sense. RSN: Zoom Reload

My biggest mistake is sticking to the best/most popular ways to train a skill. I really dislike wintertodt, even though that's what everyone says to do. Just do what you enjoy. RSN Murunix

the woodcutting outfit is worth cus every walk you do you get xp books for different skills. so its worth doing :)

My biggest mistake was avoiding certain gear and aesthetic upgrades out of efficiency (i.e., not dyeing graceful outfit). Now I can have mad swag during herb runs while telling the peasants not to touch my foot. RSN: YunoHarmony

Yeah, I feel the empty inside right now. I set out to get the untrimmed slayer cape, and now that I achieved it, it took me about a solid week before I made a new goal. I am still bouncing between goals with no real commitment, but I am hoping to find the next grind... just slowly banging out combat achievements for some sick upgrades :)

what is the very relazing xong called?

The tip on the skilling outfits is VERY important, you can go a lot longer than 4 hrs without the angler set, and in the meanwhile you’ll have NOTHING to show for it. I’d recommend at least 76 fishing before you do the trawler grind so you can at least get sharks.

Speaking of not trusting drop rates, my duo and I went 92 COX dry averaging 55k points. We then hit 2 elder mauls (RIP Tbow dream) and a set of claws within 10 raids. It balanced out the dry streak nicely

Honestly the friends part is the hardest part. Had lots of friends in the main game. Rs3. I got sick of it and came to OSrS and in turn, left my friends behind in rs3.. I have one irl friend that plays occasionally with me but mostly solo.. hard to find friends these days. Maybe when I'm ready to do raids I'll find a clan to tag along with.. Hopefully I don't get ripped on drops 😅☠️

RSN MacAttack21, I make most of my money in game flipping. My biggest mistake is hording the gp in my bank to get bigger flips to make more money rather than spend it on better gear or getting a maxed house lol. And I will continue to make this mistake despite being aware of it.

I would counter the buy bonds to sell for gold point with the argument that several individuals may feel that their experience has been devalued as they effectively paid for the upgrade and it may not feel as impactful than if they grinded for the gear or even if they grinded out the gold to buy it themselves.

My mistake is not valueing my time. Like you said grinding 10 hours for a bond is pointless if that amount of your time is more worth than few euros. Would you buy 10 hours of free time for few euros, I'm sure many of you would. Also doing stuff you don't enjoy. OSN: su dokuke

My biggest mistake so far was trying to train hunter by getting the fish sack at aerial fishing. Top that! RSN: Agilaius

Over a year ago I said it was time to get my Quest cape. I got really far took a few month break and am back. 12 left

BIGGEST TIP! ~~> stay top right (north east) then drag enemies to walls and always pray mage after wave 30 !!! Do not forget to practice jad with the little trick easily searchable on KZfaq

I'd say I made two large mistakes the first time I played. First, was trying to focus too much on the "optimal" way to level skills. Rather than trying the large variety of methods out there and finding what I enjoyed. The second was putting off quests in favor of grinding. Only to get stymied when some content I wanted to do was locked behind those quests I ignored, and that would have done a bunch of the leveling grind for me.

Much love for this video and and the previous!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Worth noting that if you are australian and wanted to use a VPN to lower your ping in certain worlds it doesn't let you if you're on a jagex account, will just disonnect you from launcher. EG i want to use a VPN to lower my bing for BH worlds as alot of people do, it just dc's me from launcher while trying to. care!

man for me Jagex Launcher was the biggest mistake, but that's more of a personal/regional issue... 🥲Good vid again! luv 'em contents~ RSN Color Wolf

If you don't upgrade your account you can't get the last emote to finish the varrok medium diary so it forces your old account to be a Jagex account now. Atleast that's what it's appears to be unless you can work around it.

My first goal was quest cape; and only doing novice quest first then training the skilled needed for the new level of quest makes it fun

How are you un-noting your items when ur fighting nex?? Also what’s the add on called that you use to hide your spells and prayers you don’t need?

My biggest mistake was recolouring my graceful a second time instead of just getting another set of graceful. Also a good one for your next vid would be to NEVER BUY PEGASIANS. these boots should literally be the final upgrade you get after full torva, ancestral and masori and mega weapons. D hide boots are basically the exact same stats, cost 1/80th of the price and gives you prayer bonus, imo they are better than pegasians but ppl love to break the bank on pegs while wearing full arma

I really like the not trusting drop rates one. I've gotten so demoralized so many times because of it. It took me 2.5k cave horrors to get the black mask and it made me so frustrated. But just killing until i get the item feels more liberating

I'm an ironman and my normal account is roughly half the total level my ironman is and my fear is losing items when going to fight something, or lose pots/food when bossing only to fail, I had/have to get over that fear using items to progress, and honestly I still have the issue but it's slowly getting better

My biggest mistake is being afraid of dying, as soon as I started not caring about dying I started to do bosses and it's the most fun I've ever had in this game!! rsn 0mnix

Might be long for a youtube comment but I agree with the bond tip: I'm on my 5th or 6th account (the others being lost for 1 reason or another) and this is my most progressed by far because I was able to afford a few bonds (finally a real adult with an income) to buy entry level PvM gear. That got me to the point where I finally wanted to sit down and do the fighters torso /dragon defender/questing grinds etc. I understand why some people would feel like they didnt earn their account if they got bonds early, but for me idgaf if the trident in my account is purchased by bonds. Eventually, I'm going to sell it because my account is still in it's infancy and I'll replace it with something better that I grinded for. The grind to a maxed account takes several years sometimes and I was able to skip the very early parts to get to a point that made grinding feel worth it bc I had the bare minimum gear to make it worth it in terms of gp/hour.

Community is huge. Joined a clan years ago. They've taught me bossing and we even got a sigil drop at mass clan corp. Nice to have people see my progress with me.

Great video as always G

how do you unnote your food and pots inside of your inventory?

Think the best advice I can give is no one can take away your xp drops. 13m/skill/max, even if it's 10k xp, will get you closer to your goal. remember it's a grindy game on purpose and there's no time limit to get to where youre going. The biggest mistake imo is overfocusing on a singular thing: once you get tired of one activity/grind, move on to another, even if it's just for an hour RSN

rsn 6mountain9 THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS my biggest mistake was setting goals of more than I could chew just like you mentioned

The Jad tip is huge! Will be trying asap

I just had to get the angler’s outfit for a master step and it was so brutal. I only regret not doing it earlier - my biggest mistake is putting off untradeable upgrades. Took me until 78 slayer to imbue my helm. RSN: Mustard Frog

I'm sure plenty of people will consider these as mistakes. My combat level is 116 and I never did fight cave nor gotten a fighter torso.

Wasting time grinding for supplies rather than doing a money maker and buying them. Also putting off doing quests until their difficulty was trivial and therefore not enjoyable.

My biggest mistake is going for a boss pet. It's making me want to quit. Send help.

Will you consider making a video on the optimal way to get an account ready for raids?

from the past few vids we are legally allowed to say wear blessed d'hide not armadyl

People love talking about opportunity cost, when not buying bonds is the biggest and most obvious lost opportunity cost.

The biggest mistake I see people constantly make is thinking there is a “right” way to play the game. The game is meant to be fun and you should do the activities you enjoy. EHP and tick manipulation may be fun to some but some might enjoy nmz to get to bosses asap and foregoing skills.

The point at the end of the video of doing x thing in game = earning X Dollars an hour in real life is exactly why (in my opinion) the only mode in the game worth playing is ironman. And its purely because the fact you can BUY progression. The second you can convert real money to in game success is when the game no longer respects you.

My biggest mistake was trusting someone I truly didn’t know. An in-game friend that I’ve know for 1 1/2 years messaged me asking for help with a Bond. Since they were an Iron Man, in exchange for a bond they would let me kill them for items of equal value. Needless to say, after giving them the bond they blocked me and hopped worlds, never to be seen again. RSN: King Vanhala

My biggest runescape mistake was not buying climbing boots... if you know you know. I was about to invest in a lot of them literally the night before the price change but my fridend talked me out of it. We woke up the next morning and just stared at each other. I never let him live that down. Rsn exlaax

Biggest mistake was thinking that TOA was fun for the first few months of release and I fix that by not doing TOA anymore!!!! RSN Cyberrite

My biggest mistake is waiting to buy bonds lol. Once I decided to my account really took off. Felt like the midgame grind was never ending (well it is, I'm still there, but it's much better now). Now I'm able to actually start bossing and doing the PvM things I really enjoy in the game. I appreciate you advocating for this, it makes the game so much more enjoyable if you're feeling stuck and don't have as much time to play as you would like to. RSN Scuba Steef

Not buying membership and attempting to earn a bond while on f2p. Worst mistake I’ve made in osrs.

RSN: King Gryndo - My biggest mistake was wearing my fire cape in the wilderness...TWICE! Easily avoidable by double checking in not wearing during clue scrolls / KBD slayer kills

RSN: ZEEP0 My biggest mistake was buying ToA drops a couple of weeks after the raid launched. I should have waited for the price to settle, because the DPS difference was not worth losing millions every day due to the price dropping.

Got d helm from demonic gorillas yesterday 1/128k chance or something like that :( I only been there a little while though only like 90 kc. I'm pretty sure I've gotten d med helm drop multiple times on this account. Got ranger boots in like 40 clues once though l.

My biggest mistake? not getting the Text so Speach plugin sooner... Hopefully it will get better as time goes on but as a solo player having it is a game changer. RSN: Nexus-X

RSN Beefzilla #1 mistake is not being as adventurous as you should be.

did not know about the practice jad! tyvm RSN: Muh Kween

Hello my biggest mistake is not looking at guides sooner. I've played sense 2007 and just in the past year or so started really paying attention to guides and how they work and I feel foolish for not doing it sooner

RSN biggest mistake is avoiding quests, achievement dairies and combat achievements, while knowing all the benefits of them.

My biggest mistake was being born with a brain that fucking DESPISES construction lol Edit: And quests. Idk why. Just despise them entirely

Jagex accounts have even more benefits than you listed, and it will become mandatory in the future so i would really recommend anyone to upgrade.

biggest mistake for me is probably not buying bonds RSN

RSN v arlamore, my biggest mistake was not subscribing to this channel sooner. Great content and very helpful insight after returning from a long break.

RSN Shaedytree , biggest mistake is being too scared to die and lose all my stuff T.T

Great video until the end. "Players make a mistake by not paying to win" - real hot take there.

God damnit I need the magma mutagen and you got in the the video lol. Well need the zulrah pet also

15:39 I enjoy earning gold in-game to pay for the bond making it completely free, its a great feeling and a great motivator! So I disagree enormously with that last tip

Idk if I call this a mistake, but I used to make like 7-8 farm runs per day, without unlocking the most efficient teleports and herb pathces. So by the moment I got a maxed house and did morytania elite diary I was so burnt out of farm runs I barely do them anymore 😅 RSN: HeskSwag

My biggest mistake is not enjoing the game enough. RSN: Gobaaak

Buying bonds to sell them feels like cheating though. Being able to afford a Scythe one day is my ultimate goal but I'm going to get there by raiding with the boys with my trusty whip. Already got a 33m split on my third ToB ever!

My biggest mistake was not having clear goals, i finished barrows gloves and just died off the game for a while, recently back and loving it again! Also losing full graceful twice - Dont take that shit to wildy RSN Hanneslon

True the outfits for the most part are completely useless however, who has more style in the end a player with full spirit angler and a 99 fishing cape or a player with only a 99 fishing cape.

On that last point, I spent the money on a 3 bond pack and rushed 83 construction. Now I have a maxed house, and use it between almost literally every activity, and I've probably saved hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of gp along with many hours on teleports, spellbook swaps, or walking to a fairy ring/spirit tree/etc. As far as mistakes, I think my biggest thing is spending more money than I need to on convenience, while I still only have a 100M bank, and 5-10M cash stack. Like yeah, I COULD not bring a cannon to every slayer task. But it's so much faster. I COULD use Maples instead of Yews for tree runs. But they're so much faster. I know could avoid the mistake by just...not doing that. But being honest, I'm probably gonna keep doing it.

My biggest mistake is borrowing a tbow from my friend as soon as I could wield it , I have made so much gold bought new pieces of gear then instead of selling my old gear I just kept farming more and more gold and buying better and better gear

RSN my mistake is i sometimes take to high targets.
