I will ask you the reverse question to this, namely: Why did I just watch an hour long beginners guide to a game I have never played and never will play? Answer: Because I like this content creator and it's still interesting to learn about this game and why it's so popular, even if I personally have no intention of ever playing it.

@@yunglazerbeam8673 Meaning absolutely no offense to anyone who might be a fan of this game, but this looks incredibly boring and tedious. I don't need to try it to know I will hate it. It's a long, slow and grindy game. I may not have tried this particular one, but I have tried others that have those qualities and I didn't enjoy them. And they had actual nice graphics, so at least there was eyecandy to enjoy. This doesn't even have that. Maybe old school fans enjoy the throwback of these kinds of graphics, but I do not belong to that group. If it doesn't have an interesting story or gameplay that moves at a brisk pace, it's just not for me. I watched a friend play this once and watching paint dry on a wall would have been about just as 'interesting'. I appreciate the hardcore dedication of the fanbase and their insistence that it's a great game, but it's just not for everyone. Some things you don't need to try to know you won't like it. I never tried any of the FIFA games either, but I know for a fact that I would hate the everloving fuck out of them if I did try. It's in a genre I don't like with little to no story, no fast moving gameplay and no other elements I like in my videogames.

I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I want to genuinely thank you for this guide. I had sort of played rs3 blindly when I was a little kid but quickly stopped because my laptop had broken. When this game came out on mobile, like most beginners I quit within a few minutes because I didn't know how anything worked. A few months later I wanted to try again, but this time I looked at a guide and clicked through one or two that I didn't understand, then I came to yours. The information from the guide stuck with me and I've progressed pretty far into the game where I don't have to scrape up money to buy a bond anymore. This game was a life saver, it made me happier, I made new friends playing it, I got some of my real life friends playing it, this is the best game I've ever played. I just wanted to sincerely thank you for making such a well put together guide that helped me progress through the game and become a better person today, even if it's only been like eight months. I love you man, thank you.

This guide is fantastic. I think the strongest part of the video is that you explain *how* the game works internally, more than the usual “go here and do this when you get to this level”. Also the beginning bit on “is this game for you?” needs to be in more reviews and guides!

Honestly, so happy this exists! This is so needed to bring new players into OSRS! I was watching a guide on how to train your account in mid game, and throughout the video I would pause and look up the item or training method mentioned in the video, but then the thought occurred to me that even though I am coming back to RS after many many years, I have a very solid understanding of the fundamentals and so the game is more inviting than daunting for me. But then I realized that the biggest reason that happened was that because when I started RS my friends played as well and so I was quickly able to learn from them. And imagining myself as an actual newbie in RS made me realize that dammm this is a deep and complex game! And realized that 99% of the OSRS tutorials that exists today on KZfaq are 100% for advanced players, most noobs would not understand any of the reasoning or terminology used in 99% of today's OSRS videos!

For years I've watched Runescape videos on a second monitor while playing an MMO of my own. I've always found the game fascinating and interesting even though I had no clue what was being talked about in any of the videos that I watched. I'm finally sitting down and giving this game a chance. Super excited! Coming from FFXIV with 6800+ hours, this should be a nice change of pace!

Just discovered this gem of a video looking for something to listen to while doing stuff around the house. Really enjoying it! Note at 12:35. Your weight only affects how quick your run energy depletes, not how fast it recovers. Your agility level does impact the recovery rate though and despite it being a members skill, the recovery rate still works on f2p worlds.

Just some additional info for the combat system and attack speeds: the attack speed means how fast your next attack will come. It is important to know, especially in pvp. Slow attack speed weapons have a potential to destroy your opponent in 1 hit. But their attack speed is so slow, the enemy hits 2 or 3 times until your next attack. So if you equip a faster weapon, like magic shortbows with rapid attack style, it's attack speed is 3 ticks. After you shot, you can attack again with any other weapon in 3 ticks. So if you shoot with your magic shortbow, then you can equip a ballista and activate it's special attack in the next 3 ticks and shoot a potentially deadly special attack at your enemy. Some special attacks allow you to perform an attack in the next tick, like dragon throwing axes, dragon claws or the granite maul. This means you can potentially stack your opponent out so fast, he will not have time to properly react or eat. But this requires much practice and resources because you will probably die and have to re-buy your gear and supplies, as they are lost on death. The combat system is much more complex than just click and wait.

Fantastic, I too for some reason watched an entire guide on a game I've played for almost 20 years... Only part that I feel is misrepresented is the "Questionable AI" 34:42. It's the way it was designed and even in a dev Q&A (which I would also recommend to people where devs answer reddit questions) they said they could fix it pretty easily. But most of the time this is an easier (or more afk) way to do things, or to get skills of the ground.... like sure I could go round up all the mobs and ice barrage them and get mass xp or I could safe spot and be more relaxed.

Life is good though. I watch your videos even without being in the MMO space. I thought I would try and play old School RuneScape. I went that it for 4-6 hours but after that I needed a guide to figure it out. I saw you had one and it is a great help. Also had 2 guys in Lumbridge give me some gear and gold and talk me through stuff. Great community from what I've seen so far and looking forward to progressing further.

I've spent a good portion of my chilling time in f2p worlds in lumby just gor the hell of it, and it made me realize that this game can be really fucking cryptic to new players. I more often than not had to explain how to train att, str and defence respectively, because the game only briefly glances over this aspect if at all. Also the sandbox aspect usually confuses people who are new to mmo's, and they end up confused as to what they should do after tutorial island. The game's great, but it doesn't explain its core mechanics at all.

For years I’ve been a part of a guild that I love for gw2. Many of our members play OSRS and for a few years I have lovingly poked fun at them for the crazy amount of hours they each have sunk into it. For a few months now one of them has been trying to sway me into playing and has slowly been breaking away at me. I think he has a rare pet featured somewhere. I think a thieving pet with no thief skill? Anyways his name is Bigfoot and sometimes he streams. A week ago I was watching another one of them stream and he got a raccoon which just melted my heart and as of tonight I’ll be playing for the first time and it’ll be as a hardcore group iron man! I’ve been watching your content for years and now I am watching a video I never thought I’d watch all in excitement for this new experience. I guess you could say the joke was on me all along. Also I’ll be trying my hand at streaming for the first time in effort to document my first time experience.

I started yesterday. I missed RS when it came out and my comp is totally ass right now... I saw it on steam yesterday and decided to go for it. After binging out on your MMOs that suck videos I felt like I needed to play an MMO. I was amazed (somehow) when I saw you had old school RS covered: Thank you Sir Broham!

My advice to new free players is to level up woodcutting to sell logs. Do not increase the quality of logs until your woodcutting is high enough that the next better tree can produce logs at a pace you’re comfortable with. Also, gather feathers from chickens to sell. Both are used for many different things and in several skills so sell well and at a decent price. The good ol kill or collect cow hide is also good. Basically, make money by providing items that are used up instead of ones that last indefinitely. For leveling, I always just focused on whatever I needed for whatever quest I wanted to do. For leveling to quest, money is important for grinding it or you can level up the supporting skills to provide the materials needed to grind the skills needed for whatever quest you’re doing, which is what I mostly did/do. For members, remember that you don’t need to complete a quest to get some good stuff, like Ivan’s (Iben? The one from Underground Pass) Staff or access useful fighting areas for loot or exp.

In all honesty, I dont plan on playing old school runescape, I just want to learn so I can watch my favorite streamer's gameplay and to cheer them on. Because I don't like playing these games, I like watching the gameplay.

i've been binge-watching your videos ever since i discovered your channel (i only have about 1/4 of them left, then its on to twitch VODs, lmao). i watched this video expecting just to enjoy the content like i have been doing, never having been someone who got into osrs (i was a WOW-loyal kid in the 2000s). by the last third of the video, i had the client downloading. by the end of the video, i was halfway done the tutorial island. by midnight that night, i had my boyfriend and his roommate playing with me. they don't really Get It yet (bf has never played an mmorpg, rm is a guild wars 2 guy), but i'm going to make them watch this video, lol

im very late to this video and im sure others have said it here in the comments. But defense level does not reduce the damage you take it just reduces the chance of you getting hit. And no those 2 things are not the same. there are true "damage reduction" mechanics in osrs and these mechanics are meant to be partnered with your defense level to first reduce the chance of you getting hit and then when you get hit the other mechanics come in to actually reduce the damage you take

Last year I got back into OSRS. I had played the game religiously when I was younger, but had quit before the GE was created. When I returned I was a bit dismayed about the GE. I felt that it ruined a critical part of the game from when I was a kid; that you had to talk to other people or even post on the forums to buy and sell large amounts of materials. I rerolled as an ironman and have been having a blast ever since. I am questing without any guides and sometimes it takes me several days to figure them out. I know the community has a reputation of extreme min/maxing, and I'm happy to say I've stayed completely ignorant of those things for the most part, and am enjoying blindly running around the world doing things as I encounter them. I knew almost everything in this video already, but still found it extremely engaging to watch and listen to. Thanks a lot for making it.

This is amazing. I've played for years but have been trying to find a good guide to teach my friends how to play properly. I watched Theoatrix' guide but he was going too much into useless information for new players. This guide is exactly what I was looking for. Quick thing to note though: If you die, after one hour your items just disappear. They do not first show up for other players.
