I am a 62 year old grandpa, I haven't played since around 2007 and thanks to my very bad memory I've almost forgotten everything about runescape. So I just wanted to thank you a lot for this guide, I can now finally start playing again and hopefully have as much fun as I did many years ago. Again, thank you Sir.

One time I accidentally typed “M” and everyone started spamming “M” it’s my proudest achievement

"this is my beginner guide... ...And so that's how you get a cape from the hardest thing in the game"

That music you used on tutorial island. Right in the feels

This feels so overwhelming. I am new to runescape.

Where were you 11 years ago my original runescape years consisted of me running around lumbridge and then dying by the scorpions in the ore pit

Incredibly comprehensive video. I played for a few years back in the early 2000s and am thinking about diving back in. This was a great refresher video. Very well done!

This is cool man, I wish I had this video 2 years ago when I started... I was so lost having not played since very early ‘06... but this is great for anyone that’s about to have their life ruined.... I mean start the game.

What the community has needed, not that many great guides out there for the new lads coming through. Good timing we got a lot of new players now.

Theo! Thank you for making this video. My brother is getting into OSRS. I couldn’t have asked for anything better than this. Thank you for making it MUCH easier for my brother to stay and enjoy this game with me!!

Instructions unclear, social life deleted. Please send help.

As a new player i find this guide very useful and not confusing like many others. Thanks.

I’ve been playing RuneScape since 2005, and while watching this, I cleared my mind as if I was a brand new player. I understood everything you mentioned and was intrigued to play! Good job brother!

Make sure to watch *SlayerMusiq1* quest guides!

New OSRS players, Please do not use Soup's quest guides. You'll thank me later

I just came to the comments to point out that where he is talking about worn gear and he says "the bag in the corner is your rings slot" the bag he is talking about is actually a ring with a gem on it. It doesn't take away from how good this video is, but nobody else said it so I did 😂 awesome video though very informative and in depth, love it.

Guide for beginners Talks about infernal cape

Watched it even though I am nearly maxed

omg i just started the game because of your video. joined and after the tutorial started farming. some guys gave me free gold/armor and weapons and told me everything i asked. best community ever.!

Free to play weapon training.15:12 combat training, 15:41 melee weapons , 16:32 range weapons , 16:53 magic weapons

@Theoatrix OSRS - @ 20:40 you say that a regular ironman cannot use a bank by mistake. Edit: Glad someone made this. Good job.

I love that this video goes in depth about how to navigate the games interface and things like that before we even tackle the game itself... very important yet overlooked in other guides.. thank you

Great guide man! I consider myself an experienced player but it can be very difficult to explain to a friend how the game functions without giving them information overload or just plain confusing them lol. Definitely gunna share this to some friends I’ve been wanting to introduce to the game! Appreciate it man!

Quick correction for anyone still watching: Your Agility level does not affect how quickly your run energy depletes. This is determined by your weight. Your Agility level only affects how quickly your run energy restores while you're not running.

I just got the game and have no clue what I’m doing Update: I have completely given up

Regular Ironman: "You can't use a bank." Ultimate Ironman: "The same capabilities as regular Ironman, but this time, you can't use a B A N K"

Thanks for the video. I played Runescape 2 back in 2005 until roughly 2009 and just came back to Runescape (OSRS) a few days ago. Since I was extremely young when I played Runescape in the mid-2000s, I wasn't really paying as much attention to a lot of things as I should have. That caused me to now feel like a completely new player to the game. Thanks to your video, I now know enough to start off my journey through Runescape once more and feel a lot less lost. Again, thanks a lot, Theoatrix!

I use to play this back in 2007 or so with my brother. We use to walk to the library just to play runescape on the weekends. When I learned that osrs was playable on phones that blew my mind and I decided to start playing it again. Yeah I completely forgot everything and only vaguely remember locations. Glad this guide exists tho

So basically I learned: A lot of useful things for getting started Have a lot of free time or die Get a membership or you’re basically playing a third of the game

Thank you, honestly this was the first newb friendly guide I have watched. It is hard to find runescape content out there that does not either rely on you having previous knowledge, or is TOO vague and basic.

"Osrs beginners guide" Step one - go outside Step two - find some grass Step three - look at said grass for 4 hours Step four - ask yourself if you enjoyed that, and if you did Step five - tutorial island

I still have a 2008 character named Burt595 out there somewhere lmao

lmao man the "bag" in the bottom right in the equipment tab is a picture of a ring lmfao

"This video is for total beginners", so guys kill zad and you get the best melee cape in the game...

I wish there was a tutorial like this for life, nice video!

I cant even beat goblin diplomacy on Osrs mobile yet my 11 year old self could at release. Wtf

I like how i joined runescape in 2009 but i still need this video

I just got back just an hour ago. Batch 2008 player here (on and off from 2010 to 2014 retirement). And I must say, the game right now is full af. The community as always, is helpful. I asked some few questions to some guys talking on lumbridge to help me refresh. They all gave me coins and some stuff to start off. Damn this game really hit that nostalgic spot. I am so ready to take on all the quests again.

as a completely new player who is really into the game even though I wasn’t even alive when it first came out, this is rlly helpful! Thanks!

I wanna get started with this game but it looks so damn complicated and over welming

My dad: Do not cite the deep magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was born

Thank you for making this. It's good to come back and brush up on the basics before starting my account! I'm back to playing again after about a year.

Your content is great for the community, your videos got me back into Osrs last year. Keep them coming mate, cheers.

Started this game again in 2015, played for a year and had no social life and was depressed. Its a trap this game takes too much time get outta here right now don't look back pls

This game I remember playing it when I was like 9 fun times. Much more entertaining then WoW it's like everything a Mmorpg should be crafting cooking killing random mobs. First thing after school poured me a glass of grape soda and enjoyed some RuneScape.

I'm primarily a RS3 player, but I recently started playing some OS on my phone because I want to check out some of the original OS content. Think I just found the main OS content creator I'll be watching. A lot of effort went into this video and it's clear to see.

HEY! thank you so much i needed to get back into it seeing OSRS pop back up i was so excited to relive being a child again in this world and it helps that this awesome guide is quick and easy to follow! I cant wait to play around with the NPC's and the role play i see so often in this awesome game!

cheers for this man nice refresher :) speedy recovery on your surgery :)

12:16 Higher agility does NOT make your energy run out slower, it ONLY makes it restore quicker. Only weight is factored for drain rate. 16:48 Mithril arrows for some reason are cheaper than Steel arrows, making Iron and Mithril arrows the primary training arrows for F2p. 20:41 You said Regular ironmen can't use a bank, simple mistake I think.

Im completly new to OSRS and this was super helpful thanks

Played rs 2004-2009, sort of starting again now. I did NOT know about the mouse wheel tip 2:22. This was super helpful. Thank you

one thing to mention; you dont need to do quests to level up. you can just train the skills to max level without ever touching a quest. and you dont pick a class. you can be both a mage, ranger and melee. :)

So I ended up within the first hour, die to a level 2 goblin.....3 times

Very helpful. I dropped by after The Lazy Peon was praising the game. Will definitely check it out and this guide will surely help. Thanks for all the work.

"The bag in the bottom right is the ring slot." It's a ring, my dude. lol

look mum im on the internet, snuggle quest is also a very good person to use for quest guides

I havent played since i was 6. Im re learning everything

I’ve been playing old school for years, using this guide I finally managed to get 6 combat at chickens, thanks! 🐓

I'm 30 years old and just getting into OSRS. It's the ultimate "2nd screen" game. And very good to play when stoned.

I found a chef's hat and killed like 50 rats. I love it already 😂

I remember when i had NO IDEA how to lvl str and def. The good ol days

I have been playing for over 10 years, but I still found this very helpful and learnt a few things

This is an awesome video for all the new players out there!! I have a few friends trying to get into it but they’re too overwhelmed with everything going on.

I played when I was 8, I’m 24 now. I had no clue what I was doing before.

Free to play skilling. 21:41 fishing , 22:13 cooking , 22:43 woodcutting , 22:52 firemaking , 23:08 mining , 23:30 smithing , 23:51 crafting , 24:19 runemaking.

lol @ all the comments pissing about how he's mentioning end game content in a beginner's guide. He's showing you goals, he's showing you what you can look forward to, he's showing you how far you could go. smh. idk about you, but I like knowing what I'm looking forward to.

Thank You So Much! I Don't Played OSRS For 1 Year And I Forget About The Game And You Helped Me To Get That Feeling To Play This Masterpiece Again! Thank You Thank You.

Ive had ios Runescape for about a week now and i havent even left Lumbridge yet and ive only completed the chef quest lol.

Got to level 78...dragon armor etc than quit. Felt like work 😳😳

I used to play as a kid in like 2004-2005 and am getting back into it. This was helpful, the game is really overwhelming haha

I'm a grown man, 33 to be exact. Started playing back in 2002, back when it was just Classic. The rune 2 hander was the best weapon at that time, and the party hats were only worth like something around 100k maybe less -- I remember Ardougne was just being worked on and they were just about to release dragon items -- I remember first exploring Lumby and meeting friends from school in the Cemetery "Our meet up spot". With our little group was a player named TKS. TKS eventually became one of the greatest and earliest forerunners and players of the game until the Zezima takeover. I've played this game on and off over the years never really resulting in any great achievments besides maxing out one or two levels, attempting to make a pure and a lucky instance where I somehow managed to catfish someone into giving me a white party hat back in 2006. I held onto this party hat and still have it to this day. I'm keeping it there in the hopes that it will be so rare in my 90s in real life. I'm about to seth forth on a new adventure on old school. WISH ME LUCK

Why do I think that this will be a famous runescape vid?

Long time vet but I still watched anyway. Love your content as always Theo. Hope you get better soon!

great video! i remember playing this as a kid! i hope everyone has a great day!

Thx, im seeing and hearing about runescape quite a bit nowadays, and it looks very fun. the first time i played it i was confused on what to do. this’ll help, thanks.

I tried OSRS years ago but didn't even get past tutorial island. LOL! Since the mobile beta release...I really missed out. I am loving the game so far. Another "new" game for me to be addicted to. /sigh

Good video mate.Well done :P

Dude! This video is awesome. Super high quality stuff!

I remember back in 2007 I went to someone's house and their son was playing runescape. At that time i wasn't allowed to play RS or use a computer . I'm 23 now and I guess it's never too late to learn how to play.

You should watch snuggle quest

DON'T PLAY OSRS IT'S A TRAP

Trying to learn osrs for my bf as he plays a lot. I do his fletching as its just spam clicking. Can’t wait to gain more knowledge

My brothers have been playing runescape for 13 WHOLE YEARS. Now I am playing, I love it.

Osrs is my joob ;D Also:where is the vid for -rwt- Venezuelans?

Still not sure if I should start this again... use to play ages ago and eventually went P2P but after amassing quite a wealth and some of the rarest items in the game and climbing the ladder on the leader boards I was hacked and lost it all. Now the game I knew has split and changes in both versions. I hate the new version with my account tied to it and im still overwhelmed by everything after being out of the loop for so long that starting over seems to much. Honestly think im better off staying away forever even if I think of coming back. Good video though, the mobile version spiked my interest but the screen is too small to truly get into the game and the rest I just mentioned.

I’ve got 1600 total skill and did not know the that holding the scroller on the mouse did that... this is why I’m always watching as many OSRS guides as possible

been runescapin since 05 this is a good video

Thanks for making such a comprehensive guide,as a new player I found it extremely helpful.

Thanks I just got it on mobile

Played this around 2008, just now saw that its comming to steam in 2 weeks. So looked it up just to refresh my memory. Thanks!

okay I just have to say. I really appreciate u showing stats all being 73 except for herblore and runecrafting. having lvl 2 herblore was only an option back in the day from boosting with botanical pies and Rc is legitimately the worst skill to train hahaha

Us freetoplay players get screwed over so much

6:48 bag... are you kidding me? Its a picture of a ring

watching this as a now experienced member. love you buddy. this is where it began for me

I am TOTALLY new to this game and I just started two days ago.... and the first time I played I had no idea what I was doing but I got around and watching this I understand what to do.... kind of

Touch Grass. End of guide.

iOS isn’t out yet

Great Starter guide probably the best one I've seen keep up the good work

Why am I watching this? I am a seasoned vet, and I still watched the whole thing!
