Settled single handedly raising bond prices with this series

Only Settled could make a 20 minute nailbiter out of a video game character fixing a fence.

I don't know how you keep finding ways to make this game less fun to play and simultaneously more fun to watch.

A video about repairing a fence in a 20 year old MMO did not need to go this hard. Banger first episode

I would have never thought watching someone trying to do dwarf cannon without taking damage for 20 mins would be riveting content. But settled always finds a way.

I made a joke to a friend, "Did you hear settled's new youtube series? Every point of damage sends an electric shock to his ball sack" This is so much worse.

Regardless of how many people try, nobody can quite match the cinematic feel of Settled. This was amazingly fun to watch, the storytelling just grabs your attention and drags you in. Can't wait to see what's in store for this insane account. I think an interesting idea for the series might be to add extra lives to the account for completion of monumental achievements, like completing certain collection logs, beating certain bosses (is that even possible?), or certain levels of diaries/quests. Just as a one-time bonus for crazy achievements to allow for the slightest bit of breathing room.

I love how the tension in the video INSTANTLY goes from 0-100 once the fucking railing grind is introduced.

Settled once again changing the game. You're crazy! 10/10

I'm curious if Settled realises how incredibly well made his videos are 20 minutes barely felt like 5, completely invested in it, already fiening to watch the next episode

Settled is by far my favorite osrs content creator. The context, the commentary, editing, it's so well put together and he is so wholesome there is nothing more exciting to watch.

There is no way he just made me watch 20min of fixing railings, and still got me excited for the next episode

Gudi did such an incredible job on the plugin and settled is the perfect person to make this series!

Not gonna lie that Pinball event animation you did genuinely kinda scared me, also was really funny. Great content as usual, still the best runescape KZfaq by far

Absolutely insane. Never have I been so invested in a hammer drop on a metal fence. Here's to another great series!

Damn he wasnt kidding when he said it will be sadistic

Settled in 2026: If I take damage on OSRS, I die IRL

This series is gonna be INSANE! I honestly hope this series goes on for a long time!

What i love the most about watching settled's videos is how exciting he can be about, normally, super small things. It is such a joy to hear how happy he is that he has done a thing which on normal accounts are super simple, but because he does challenge runs, it is not, haha.

This is going to be a new classic I can feel it. Masochistic playthrough.

I’m so excited to have new “Settled tortured himself” content. Easily my favorite thing to watch on KZfaq.. it should be said, I do like him. He just makes misery enjoyable to watch.

First OSRS video I have watched since 2020, glad I came back. Loved it! ❤

It’s only the first episode of the series and it already gets you incredibly invested. Great job Settled :)

Only Settled can make a 20 min video on fixing a fence and have it be super entertaining and anxiety inducing. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this series!

I love that even though he can bank, he kept the gp in his inventory the whole time and dropped all the bowstrings. Man lives as a UIM by default

This is unreal bahahahah. The only thing more impressive than your creativity is your tenacity, man. I’m so stoked to see how far you can take this series

Some quick theorycrafting after this has been on my brain since it came out Magic/Ranged are his best combat options clearly. The Arceus library would be a great 0 threat option to level magic for access to high alch, so that he can semi-afk prayer and make gold on...something. Not sure what a good option is, that would require individual route assessment. Agility can be done safely at the Gnome Agility Course. Other than that, I'm not sure of any great options until higher levels Thieving can be lamped to 5, then done at stalls and the Sorceress's Garden Minigame safely. A fire cape is a surprisingly reasonable ask for the account. Not sure about other high-end goals because of random instances of small damage, but I could see it being an early goal for the account. I can't wait to see the level of risk he is looking to take with the account, as bossing content is going to be incredibly tense but doable.

Man's really pushing Runescape into a Dark Souls-esque hellscape.

Fucking wild concept, can’t wait to see how this plays out.

14-year-old me lives vicariously through you, and I absolutely love every video idea you've ever had. Your commitment is unwavering, and it is SO satisfying to watch you achieve the greatest things in this game! Much love!

I can't think of any other content creator that could pull this concept off and actually have me thinking 'how long and how far can he go?!' You're one in a million, man. Can't wait for the frequent updates, always love the stuff you put out! Best of luck!!!

I actually had the thought that a no damage run would be your next challenge, then IMMEDIATELY dismissed the thought because it would be TOO INSANE. So psyched!

I can't believe I spent all that time making the plugin only for you to go and MESS IT ALL UP by DYING. You could've at least tried...

"I needed someone who looks like they could handle the stress of this challenge" literally just makes keanu reeves

Hell of a storyteller and a hell of a challenge. Gonna be tuning in every week for the next 10 years.

Settled dude, you're one of the few people on this planet who can get hundreds of thousands of people invested in a pixel character fixing a railing on a game. You are elite kind of talented.

I am so happy that this series is going to have a weekly episode, waiting for weeks at a time for McTile was painful.

We've really got something magical here when a man literally dying to railing so many times for twenty minutes is a gripping challenge run video.

Honestly man Swampletics was epic and unique, but not really my thing to keep up with. Obviously settled was incredibly impressive as well and McTile was cool, but none of those videos truly kept me on the edge of my seat like this one. This one is truly something special. I popped off when you fixed the rail man. You struck gold, can't wait to see where this one goes!

Freaking love the new series. Hardest part is knowing how hard of a challenge this will be for you, and the anticipation between episodes. Gonna be such a grind. I’m eagerly waiting xD

This is gonna be the series where Settled finally makes a video, somewhere along the journey, admitting he bit off more than he could chew. Love the videos man & best of luck!

What a series, can't wait to see what the future holds for Lowlife108

This is quite possibly going to be the greatest OSRS KZfaq series out there EVER!!! I’ve been on the edge of my seat since the first second. It’s so suspenseful, so surprising, so unexpected! I can’t wait to see where this goes!!! 😃😃😃 Keep it up my guy! - Machinist_2

Solid production! RuneScape really does have that sandbox DNA 💯

This might be the most ridiculous and difficult challenge ever tried on runescape and im all here for it. This series is gonna be a cult classic

Taking into account that failing to fix a railing first try has a chance to not damage you and let you try again changes the probability from 24% to 0.48/1.24 which is about 38.7%. With this altered probability, the probability of fixing 5 railings (at level 1 crafting, per account) is then 0.869156055%, or about 1 in 115. Seeing that happen twice (lowlife 13 and 108) before even hitting 109 is pretty good luck! Blessed series.

Once again I am glued to a series about a game I’ve never played

I've genuinely never played RS at all. But I *LOVE* game knowledge. Thinking about how much you learn, use, abuse or take advantage of in each series is crazy and definitely one of my favorite parts about watching these. And the statistics just *chef's kiss* Good luck Settled, you're gonna need it!

I love this channel so damn much, and I'm terrified that you've invented a series with a constant, easy to hit failure state. I'm so in for spending the next few months stressed for like 20 minutes a week over this

Seeing you have fun doing something that’s incredibly tedious is both entertaining and inspiring. You’re a real professional settled.

And here I thought that Settled's previous challenges were already insane, then the dude just cranks it up to 11. Really excited for this series!

For anyone wondering, the mathematics (without simulations) of why it is approx. 1/300 are as follows: the probability of successfully completing a rail (with retries) is 0.24+0.38*0.24+0.38^2*0.24+... = 0.24/(1-0.38) ~= 0.3871, because it is a geometric sum. The 0.38 is the probability of a retry after failing (because (1-0.24)/2 = 0.38). Then you simply need 6 independent successes in a row, so that would be (0.3871)^6 = 0.003364 or a one in 297.2232 chance of successfully repairing 6 rails.

HOW?! HOW DO YOU KEEP COMING UP WITH ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE FOR YOUR SERIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?!

I was genuinely upset that the video was over. I have watched all of your series, and I can't wait for the next episode. This is god-tier content. And hell, I don't even play osrs anymore.

Imagine how it feels to be Captain Lawgof seeing this. Some random guy comes up and enlists himself to help you and your camp out against the Goblin menace, and you ask him to do something simple. Just go replace some pieces of the railing and he'll have been a great help already. You've done this before, many adventurers have come by and this is just one more for the books. You look away for ten seconds and hear a yelp as said random guy hits his hand with the hammer by accident. Happens a lot. And then he falls over dead on the spot. Perfectly healthy to instantly dead. And then someone else who looks exactly like that guy comes up about ten minutes later, the only difference being the number at the end of his name. This process repeats itself one hundred and seven times, and then the 108th finally fixes five of the six, only to leave on a several hour long detour to "improve his skills" before he comes back and hammers the last one back into place finally.

Actually, the odds are pretty easy to calculate: There are three possible outcomes from trying to repair the fence: - Success, 0.24 of the time - Damage, (1 - 0.24)/2 = 0.38 of the time - Debuff, (1 - 0.24)/2 = 0.38 of the time Importantly, since after the debuff you can just try again, we can treat any attempt where you get the debuff as though you didn't try at all. That gives you the adjusted success rate of (0.24)/(0.24 + 0.38) per attempt, and raising that to the 6th power gives you the exact chance of success, which is around 1/297.

This series is an advanced form of self harm.

Settled is the only person who could make me watch someone fix railings in this quest for 15 mins and enjoy it. 😅

This is so much more insane than anything else I've seen you attempt before - and I love it. Keep em coming!

The cry's of "noooo" on Account 13's 6th rail failing really sounded like Woody in Toy Story 1 when his match gets blown out before he lights the rocket.

If I was a Jagex mod and I had any idea that it was Settled making 100+ accounts I’d deffo be like “Hol’ up. Let him cook.”

i'm imagining the dwarf pov. a guy comes in and offers to fix the railings. he smashes his thumb with a hammer and dies on the spot. 15 minutes later, his identical twin appears and smashes his thumb with a hammer, dying instantly. this repeats 108 times.

This takes one of the big aspects of what made swampletics so great that was kinda missing from tileman. The whole, "what's even possible? " element was so much fun in swampletics. The room for experimentation is huge with this though, and who knows what the true limits are.

This series is going to break my heart I just know it.

I just noticed how many things are after Settled in the intro. Bro's got half the WILDERNESS surrounding him. Brilliant analogy for Nightmare Mode, honestly.

This is amazing! Thanks for your hard work.

Settled the type of guy to post a 20 minute video of himself fixing railings and has EVERYONE including myself, super invested. cant wait to see more of the series man!

"I needed someone who looked like they could handle the stress" *makes Julian from Trailer Park Boys*

6:38, really did not need to simulate that. Your probability of repairing a single fence is the probability of repairing + probability of failing but not taking damage + probability of failing twice but not taking dmg +…, and so on. This is a geometric series that converges, and you can calculate it with probability of repairing/(1- probability of failing but living). And since each fence is independent just take this single formula to the power 6 to get the probability to repair 6 fences. Giving a 1 in 297 chance, pretty close to the simulation, but this one is more exact.

How is every series more hype from the onset than the previous, this is insane

You continue to surprise and impress with progressively more difficult accounts. Keep it going!

You're such a special content creator Settled, I really enjoy the stuff you do and how it gets me hooked right away.

Oh man! I'm here for it!! Thanks for staying positive even through the toughest challenges! super excited for this one.

Honestly dude after Swampman & Tileman you'd think there would be nothing left. But you are something else my dude, what a pleasure to watch!

I don't even play Runescape for years now, played it mostly as a kid, being 32y o now, I'm glad KZfaq got that channel on my main page one day and I could've experienced the Tileman idea, and now this which is even more interesting and devastating 😂. What a creative idea to change whole perspective and way of playing such an old game :) . Kudos to you Settled and I wish you achieving your goals and succeeding in your new journey! I will be a part of it, watching safely from a side for sure, good luck! 😁

me: (scoffs) this is a stupid idea. Watches video. Also me: DAMN I am fully invested in this series now.

This is such a wild intro to a series. The suspense at the end of the video was crazy

LUDICROUS CONCEPT HERE!!! You really leveled up on the editing for this one and your storytelling has already hit the ground running on just the first episode alone! I'm REALLY looking forward to tuning into Mr. 108's journey every week

Swampman never fails to amaze me when it comes to finding ways to play the game as masochystically as possible. Godspeed, Settled.

Picking flax and crafting bowstring is significantly faster at the south-east corner of the Tree Gnome Stronghold. The gem cutting method can also be done at Falador.

The content and the cinematics are incredible! god i love your videos! have to go finish tileman after this!

If anybody is curious about the math: The probability of one success can be calculated as follows. probability of sucess on first roll = .24 (24%). This is given by mod ash. The probability of sucess on the second roll means combining the probability of failing the first roll, the probability of not taking damage, and the probability of success for the new attempt. Probability of failing the first roll is 1-(.24) = .76 (76%) Probability of not taking damage: Since there are 4 possible outcomes that are equally likely, and two of them involve not taking damage (reduce crafting/strength), The probability of not taking damage is .5 (50%). The probability of rolling success for an individual attempt is .24 (24%) as previously established by mod ash. So the probability of success on the second roll is (.76)*(.50)*(.24) = 0.0912 (9.12%) This can keep repeating indefinitely, and for each successive roll you must contribute another chance of failure multiplied by the chance of taking damage, as well as the final chance of successfully completing the task. So the chance of success on the nth roll will be ([0.76*0.50]^n)*0.24 All of this is for the very first attempt. To calculate the total probability of success for this first attempt, you must add together all of the individual probabilities of success for each amount of rolls. P(Sucess) = P(Success on 1st roll) + P(Sucess on 2nd roll) + ... + P(Sucess on nth roll) Since the above process can go on indefinitely until you either fail and take damage, or succeed, this will be an infinite sum of the form: P(Success) = 0.24 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^1 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^2 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^3+... This infinite sum just happens to be a geometric series, which typically look like this: a + ar+ar^2+ar^3+... In this case, a = 0.24, and r = [0.76*0.5] = 0.38 the sum of an infinite geometric series can be calculated using the following formula: S = a/[1-r] Using this formula, and the fact that the probability of success is in the form of an infinite geometric series, we can finally calculate the probability of successfully fixing the first rail without taking damage: P(Success) = 0.24 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^1 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^2 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^3+... = 0.24/[1-0.38] = 0.38709677 ( ~ 38.7%) From there, the probability of completing 6 rails in a row without taking any damage is just taking this probability and raising it to the 6th power. P(Success 6 times in a row) = P(Sucess)^6 = (0.38709677)^6 = 0.00336447484 (~ 0.33%), which is very close to 1/299 :)

Settled's single handed attempt to drive up the cost of bonds 😂

Another settled series, can't wait to spend the next 2 years in anticipation

Bruh... you are just an absolute madman with these series. I love the hustle but wow this sounds just BRUTAL... woof.. Well I wish you all the luck in the world cause I feel like you are definitely gonna need it for this one damn...

*Sees a settled upload* "...this changes everything"

Love how much a video about just pickpocketing a man and doing dwarf cannon can be so entertaining and climatic

I actually flinched a bit when he joked about the pinball pillar falling on him

Dude I'm so excited I've been rewatching this video waiting for the next one! 😝

Your ability to withstand punishment continues to impress, can't wait to see how this series unfolds. Best of luck with the series, and hitting 1M this year!

Welp, he’s done it again. Congratulations, I’m invested in this series already and I’m jealous to those of you starting this in a few years time who can binge a load! Episode 5 is my favourite.

The fact that you can make plugins like this is actually so insane. We aren’t even playing the same game anymore 😂

the incredible power of your editing made dying to a fence extremely interesting

rates of tetanus deaths at the dwarf gate mysteriously skyrocketed

Settled's youtube channel is just a confession of being masochistic through ruescape

You know a wise man once said the role of a speed/challenge runner is the exact opposite of a game designer. A game designer painstakingly carves a beautiful sculpture out of wood, first chiseling it from a raw block before rounding off any rough edges, making sure it works when viewed from any angle. The speed/challenge runner than takes that sculpture and they look it over carefully from top to bottom and from every angle, making sure they deeply understand it, and that they appreciate all the work that went into making the design including all the strengths and weak points. Then once they understand it perfectly, they proceed to break it over their knee!

Incredible editing and storytelling! I'm not very sure how interested i'll remain in the account. Extreme consequences always have interested me less than exploring the limits of the ruleset, so the whole account deletion i cannot care for, instead of a "i'm no longer allowed to do this because i took damage from it". Furthermore, there is of course the fact that this is very much an execution based challenge, with the incredibly interesting earlygame challenge (which i will almost definitely watch), but once prayer flicking and other mechanics start entering the picture, the question semi-shifts from "what is possible without taking damage" vs "what -can i do- without taking damage". To an extent, it shows to me the difference of an account progress game vs a save-file progress game on a 1-hit challenge. Nonetheless you'll make an amazing series out of it, and i hope you really enjoy playing the game in a new way with this challenge! Remember to balance your mental health, enjoyment of the game, real life events with your content creation!

Settled, the growth you have had overtime that shows through your videos motivates me. To think that you take OSRS and pump out well produced, fun, creative new videos is awesome. Thank you for being awesome.
