i just take breaks and come back 2 years later RSN: seyrig

To avoid burnout I just play how I want. You don’t always have to skill the fastest method possible.

Utilizing multiple of these tips together helps the most. I have some things: 1. Set multiple small goals that you can work towards at the same time so you can switch between activities. 2. It's okay to break from goals if you find something you want to do temporarily. 3. Do something while you're motivated. You wont know when that weird motivation will come again. 4. Be social. A clan makes things much much better.

I like the 1 hour at a time method so much I repeat it up to 12 times a day, great tip!

I used to hate clue scrolls and questing (played a lot before the EOC days), but I started to used them as a way to force account progression. I would only do quests when a step required it. That was until the quest cape seemed a lot more achievable. Quest cape eventually lead to the achievement cape grind, which may lead to a music cape after. Setting small goals is a great way to chip away at account progression without losing to burnout. -Frinbar

Damn bro, on your way to 100k I remember the vid when you were quitting your job, it feels like that was so recent. GL, much love

I’m a returning player, took a fresh account to 70 combat skill, 60 in nearly all non-combat skills and acquired roughly 150qp. I did all this in about a month and a half. I’m so burnt out that I just had to take an extended break

I treat RuneScape like one of my other hobbies, I give time to it last though. So I only play when I have done my other hobbies or feel burnt out on the others. I set goals and only go after the ones I want. This has helped me loads as right now I’m chipping slowly away at inferno.

It is definitely hard to stop a burnout. With work kids or another game. Keeping things fresh with short and long goals is what's stopped me personally with burning out.

Burnout is hard to avoid, but having a good group of friends that also play the game is really important in my experience. If all else fails and you hate the particular grind, maybe a friend will tag along and grind with you

In the past, I avoided burnouts by taking short breaks. Sometimes that's all you need to miss your lil pixelated game. Now, the burnout sensation has greatly diminished being active in Kaoz's community. Everybody come come RSN: MalCrossing

Great content! This doesn't apply to me yet, plenty of levelling to do. But after Leagues I really had to adjust to the "lack of speed" in the main game (RSN: Harry 87)

Recently I took part in a bingo with my clan. This was probably the most exciting month of OSRS ever.. I honestly can recommend it!

just started an ironman, and its got me hooked again. also another thing that kept me going was trying to get my base levels up. gets me grinding all the skills.

These are good tips, I'm stuck on DT2 bosses as I'm not great at PvM. Will try some other stuff and come back to it later

I burned myself out getting the Crafting cape so absolutely thank you for this.

Came back to the main game after enjoying leagues but not getting too burned out, jumped into slayer and got an imbued heart at 81 slayer! Proper motivated me to push to new goals, upgrade my gear and push for achievement diaries.

I like to set a few bigger goals for the year, more medium ones and a bunch of small ones. When i get tired of one grind I work on the next little goal, knock them out, working towards those medium and larger goals.

As a player who burnout super fast this is my advice - Only play when your brains feels like it and ignore everything else. Personal favorite goal is Quest Cape such refreshing feeling when i beat Desert Treasure 2.

I think burnout is natural with this game. It might just be a sign that you're playing too much and need to take a break. This game demands a lot of time and grinding repetitive task to get to late game. That will inevitably get tiresome and you will feel like there are other uses for your time that will give your life more happiness. Other games. The gym. Social activities. Going on a date. Get all that stuff in when you want it. You'll probably eventually say "i wonder what's been going on in Runescape", and then youll probably find the fun in it again pretty fast. And boom, youre back in it. That's why they say no one quits Runescape, they only take breaks. So if it starts not feeling fun to you, take that break. Youre not going to level down just because you log out for a bit.

Avoiding burnout for me was to start setting goals before going after items and skills I needed for the goals. Being a noob, I had to do some quests and grind agility, while also grinding magic and ranged to get Swamp Trident and Blowpipe for Zulrah, before going onto the rest of my road map to the Inferno. Joining a clan can also help, as talking to people can really help these grinds get over with. And if you're burning out anyway, I recommend afk. While not that great, it's still developing your skills while you do work or homework like I am. If you're maxed or at/near high level, you could also try streaming or making videos like I've been doing for a week now. This will develop IRL skills like editing and talking to people that come by and chat is always a neat and fun experience. + This adds to the AFK thing I was talking about, as editting while cutting down Redwood, Sand Crabbing, or NMZ for imbuing those rings and Slayer helm is a productive way as your account level up. I sincerely hope this helps a few people out with burnout. Good luck with your grinds, gamers, and may Luck favor you! -EdwardRanger

Something I don’t see recommended often is to take SHORT breaks. I define a short break between one day and one month. Sometimes even a couple days away from the game helps reset the mental and even helps with my wrists/hands (though proper posture and ergonomics helps immensely as well). Breaks don’t need to be half a year or longer. RSN: Nox Lion

This has actually been the best burn out video ives seen nice vid!

i already know you will hit 100k this year cant wait to see you in the sky

So I've noticed in a few of your videos that your prayer screen has many icons hidden, but you're not using the in built prayer filter to my knowledge. How are you doing that? I'm assuming it's a plugin

Hello Kaoz, " questions. is your gear guide still valid for 2024? second, should i go Fang or Rapier? just doing casual slayer never done bosses. might ofc start thats the goal. but got much to fix before. reckon buying prims or tassets now is also quite expensive and new wep would help me do more dmg than tassy or prims?

Saving quests to do for when you actually want to grind quests! I had night at the theatre to do for ages but didn’t wanna do it, played leagues came back to the main and completed the new sub quest so smacked on my gear and completed the theatre and got my quest cape!

Just started playing OSRS and got membership thanks for all the helpful tips

I really like to switch between multiple activities or bosses to keep myself entertained and from burning out. Like I'll be killing Vorkath for an hour and then I decide to go kill Vardorvis and get like 10KC, and then I go and do farm runs and herb runs, and so on. I really like having variety and the option of doing multiple things. I will afk, and then when actively playing, I like to not be stuck to just one thing because I spent all my money on just one combat style, so I like to be able to go and kill Zulrah, and then do melee Vorkath, go to Vardorvis, do Muspah, woodcut, fish, and so on. I also it is really important to take breaks, and that has really helped me. Whenever I feel myself about to burnout and like I'm going to play the game because I have to instead of wanting to, I take a break and go play another game for like 2 months and take extended breaks.

Took a like 15 year break, had to start over. Was well worth it

RSN AlterBlitz I think the main way I stop burnout for myself is to set goals. Take a break every once in a while from the goals but not too long. But that's pretty much it for me. I have many goals and am far from completing them so I won't be stopping anytime soon

Started a new account and speed ran all the quest as fast possible. Probably got it done in around 3 months IRL. A was very burnt out and decided to a break. What got me motivated to play again was watching content creates/different series. RSN Murunix

I've been edging the burn out into the end of leagues, it's funny to be that i do a lot of these things already. Its one of the things i love about osrs, always something else to do.

RSN - Phrendly Joining a clan was a huge change for me. I spent the entire early and mid game solo. Meeting some great people and participating in clan events plus learning raids together has been a huge part of of the experience.

I just came back from a 2 year break and wanted to get a 99. I saw how cheap 99 cooking was with wined, but didn't realize the grind it was even with how fast of a 99 it is. I just do 1000 wines at a time when I don't have time to do something else I'd rather do in game. Another method I learned from this is instead of looking up how many x I need to do from an xp calculator, I just grind out 5000 at a time. Example, I just cut 7000 rubies instead of going for a specific level. Taking big bites at a time when I feel I can handle it, otherwise if I set too lofty of a goal or too much, I will get discouraged (looking at you oak planks in my bank to get 83 construction). RSN: Fen Rau

Im in pet hunter mode right now since I’ve been burned out. Basically just do 3 trips of Vorkath, Muspah, and Zulrah a day to try and get their pets. Keeps the bank growing too.

Current method is just getting really into another game and watching osrs content until I’m essentially starved for it lol

What helps me is to have daily achievable goals I'm maxing atm, and atm i'm 1.3M away from mining 99 What helps me is to have a daily 100k xp goal. That way i know that probably in 2 weeks i'll have another 99 Achieving daily goals make the game fun for me, and it's even more rewarding when i get to play more and get maybe 200k xp. That means i'll reach my long goal a day earlier, for instance Because RS is such a grindy game. All goals are weeks, months away So this little things are really quite helpful to me

My personal tip that worked for me: If you burnout from osrs, give RS3 a try. It'll give you a whole new outlook and understanding on the game and tons of new content and bosses to try while still maintaining the same core game itself. Starts out pretty poorly but I promise it gets fun the further in you go and the progress goes much faster.

My GIM team compete against each other to green log bosses. Once one of us finishes a boss the other four of us buy each buy him a beer

My tip is DON'T PLAY GUARDIANS OF THE RIFT FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT I literally almost felt like crying after searching the reward guardian over 230 times and still be 2 pearls away from finishing the RC set On the other side, having my Clan mates teach (carry) me through CoX and ToA was an awesome feeling and I am now a ToA fan, but fuck the monkey room

For me it's to make small goals. Even if it's as little as one bird house run per day, or one awful slayer task.

The best way to look at it is that if it starts to feel like a job, walk away.

what song starts at 11:44? PLEASE

People burn out because they try to reach certain levels as fast as possible because they want to max or want a certain item. Most important is just making sure you have fun. Also, when creating a new account, consider making a pure, they can be quite amusing to play.

the main reason for me burning out on osrs is because no one I know plays anymore, I know it's a solo game but it's still more fun with some friends

i been grindin for duke pet while also goin for first inferno cape. balance is key

super cool you shouted out torvesta and odablock

When i'm feeling burnt out I log in and use some of my dopamine items to gain a minor amount of dopamine per hour. As shown by the finely dressed gentlemen standing behind you at 6:00 my main dopamine item is the Golden Tench. RSN: LOB-119

as a main i go for items you cant buy in ge and shows a flex status like raids cape,zuk helm, pets, champion cape,clue milestone rewards,dragon cup from leagues. make bank on the way try and keep reserve gp for future content.

Do a video for the ones burntout: How to return to osrs / what to do to regain the joy

Rsn Rallies I just keep switching my focus and aim to achieve one level in a skill a day just to avoid burnout and losing interest. And keep a major goal of eventually getting rich lol 😂

To avoid burnout I just take small breaks (2 weeks) and after that time I just want to play again. RSN: Dawn Sage

i get burnt out by staying way too 99 focused or not skipping lame slayer tasks. but recently i have avoided the burnouts by making unique accounts like zerkers and pures and even 10hp accounts

To avoid burnout I started mostly only merching for money and doing quests / content new for me when I feel it.

All I do to avoid burnout is simply quit playing for a year or so. I dont think the solution when you start to feel burnt out is hunting a 1 in 5k drop

Nice video

Been burnt out trying to get mole pet. At 11k kc like man why. Also all the new best in slot gear came out and having to make billions of gp while going dry everywhere is a buzz kill.

I mostly hunt clues when I'm burnt out lol Rsn da killas

RSN IverBigOne, I avoid burnout by doing totally random tasks. My xp tracker is wiiild but not efficient. It goes from fletching battlestaves to crafting air ones to alching them while doing laps of seers village and chatting in clan chat. Then going to barb fish and do slayer in the wildy!

i went balls deep for the inferno pet got it at 123kc, that was burn out worthy :)

I just chill in the game. Not worried about getting the highest XP/hr. Just do what I'm having fun with.

To avoid burnout I play with specific goals and I take my time to get them

I hit burnout a lot to be honest, even though OSRS is one of my favorite games. The best way I combat it is to set short but achievable goals for my account, then once it is achieved, move on to the next one! As an example, if youre close to leveling a particular skill, make your goal to get that level up, then take a short break. RSN Just_Dasa

I'm still laughing at the title for this video XD

After grinding for 1.3B gp i feel so burntout especially since the next upgrades cost billions no satisfaction from getting the gp and bossing as upgrades take like 200+ of the best money makers

i feel this. rsn: Nice Dumper

Bro respectfully, they way you click there is no way in hell you got all that gear and an infernal cape on your own 💀

every time i get burnt out i go do lms on my lvl3 skiller

rsn PoizonDart currently on the struggle to max woodcutting :P

I'm burned out of every thieving skilling method after trying it for 10 mins and I want to reach lvl 70, what do I do now? xD RSN PepsysSoul

RSN: StormK1D as im on ym maxing grind i avoid burnout with afk dart tips or crafting blood runes on Zeah

Why have 1 burnout when u can have 2 burnouts? - Kaoz, probly.

I just stopped playing for 2 years. Im back baby.

If i start to feel burnt, i like to pick a afk skill i can work on while playing other games. Give you time to step away from osrs without feeling like your xp wasting lol

RSN: Baked epic

I play many hours a day m-f afk at work and don't get to spend as much time doing "fun stuff" on weekends and evenings. I organized weekly clan events and look forward to spending a few hours on Friday gaming with the boys! RSn dillanryan

I´m about 250 hours for max, i´m already burnd, after agil

Just take breaks to avoid burnout

stopped playing for a few months lol

Hey Man, great video! Just max quickly in order to avoid burnouts.

Might as well make a new account on RS3 if you are an osrs player

Best way to avoid burnout is logging off.

Rsn- RuckingFunes To fight burnout me and some friends give eachother tasks to complete each month half of us our on a reward system and the other half on a punishment system

How to avoid burnout - quit playing until not burnt out lmao

Best way to avoid burnout, DO WHATEVER DAFUQ YOU WANNA DO. Have fun, nobody is gonna be impressed by your pets or 99s irl.

its hard not to play something else, because your brain looks for something exciting instead of the same you do everyday. addiction is not always about what satisfies you, but progression and a sence of accmplishment from certaint activity, which OSRS have too much of and you just trying to be simple, as for me i done my goal and now i quit.

To avoid burnout I just AFK a skill while I think about what it is I actually want to do. RSN Beanz3110

I made another account so I can duo bandos and keep all loot

Afk helps avoid burnout - RSN- powers735

Macro all skills to 99

Start an Ironman!

Hunt for a pet to avoid burnout... tell that to my 5.5k kc sire pet that made me want to leave the game >.>

How to avoid burnout. Step 1, give in to burnout and make a new account. Step 2. Play the game and kill bosses haha
