Few edits: I recorded a minute of footage showing the new run to DKs and it somehow didn't end up in the vid. Really disappointed in myself for that, and a big reason why I don't normally make game update videos, because I don't like rushing out content.. but anyways.. There's 2 new shortcuts to dks. 85 agility shortcut from the waterbirth teleport takes you just past the pet rock/rune thrownaxe section. And 81 agility shortcut brings you most of the rest of the way through the dungeon. Also the christmas crackers are maintaining a decent street value for now because people are turning them into death for the still-inflated ge value. Since recording this, they changed mining gloves so now they no longer work for sandstone/granite

Al Kharid palace window req removed>, never doing the diary finally paid off

As someone who has played the game for almost 20 years im happy for all the newer players that get to experience the quality of life changes because im not a weird, vindictive piece of shit who derives pleasure from arbitrary standards of monotony. :)

heya, clicking through the empty rock was done via Custom Menu Swaps, just have to paste Mine, Granite rocks into the first box and you're all set

The thing I really like about these videos is getting to see all the updated things without having to personally run all over the Gielinor to look at them myself. You spend the couple hours running all over so we don't have to. Appreciate it!

I think when you sold your christmas crackers those who bought them were doing the same thing when you went to death's coffer. I was laughing cause I was like you did the same earlier lol

first time i've related to your "just log out and wait until the game gets easier". I grinded the pirates hook, could have gotten xp as well from it :P

ty now I know what a brimhaven voucher is

I actually had no idea coal gave no exp at motherlode mine. That makes a lot of sense why my exp varied so much, and why I kept seeing everything say not to go there at lower mining levels.

I have a feeling that "filter" is just to standardize the special shop UI for future uses around. Not necessarly that one brimhaven shop to have need for filter.

Lots of cool changes here, glad to see we are working on smoothing out the early and mid game for newer players to help with retention long-term. Thanks for putting this together Mudkip, feels like the team at Jagex is pumping out a new massive news post like 2-3x a week lately and keeping up is hard when you're on a break

I did about two hours of gnomes at 88 thieving and got 5 clues from 824 successful pickpockets. Includes clue completion time, I suppose you could stack a bunch and do them that way now as well

I've been one of the RS players that never quit (all of them), and I have seen the game and all of OSRS slowly develop throughout the years. This has to be one of the biggest efforts to date to finally update the older parts of the game and make them relevant/more convenient/more feasible to interact with but again it took this long to do it. Makes me wonder if Brighter Shores releasing soon has lit a fire under Jagex to finally fix up the game as they should have ...

Loving the Agility and Thieving changes! Great video, thanks for the update! :)

that shortcut and the long rope combo is the greatest thing ever man im so happy

It's just Menu-Entry Swapper for clicking through the rock. The empty rock is a different entity, so you swap the left click to "Walk Here" and it clicks through.

Thanks for covering everything mudkip! Bonus if it helps you out to kinda work through all the changes!

The reason people are purchasing them are exactly what you showed. They are purchasing them to put into death's coffer. Another youtuber a friend put out a video regarding this so its had a fair amount of exposure today to make people more aware and may be impulsively participating due to this information.

Thanks for this, I really didn't want to read through that massive blog today

Ty for the summery Mudkip, this update is amazing for all accounts especially newer irons.

These changes are great! Thanks for covering this.

This update really solidified that the team cares about the game and it's in good hands

i really enjoyed "look at this insane deaths coffer value you can get from these" followed immediately by "why are people buying these?" for like 5 minutes straight

Holy crap I'm glad I waited with runecrafting! 70k xp/h for double nats! I was about to do true blood altar for 55k/h and less money as well.

All the agility stuff was polled. I remember voting on it and commenting that marks of grace need to increase as you get better rooftops Also zalcano is really messed up right now. Rewards are default recused by like 90% and mass kills are too fast to get credit

i was curious how they were gunna implement the upstairs hopper without it looking ridiculous. They did a good job with it, the bridge is a cute touch

Surprised you didn't show the new DK's shortcuts, it's nuts!

Thanks! It was a lot to read, so this take on it is nice.

@25:55 pretty sure they were buying them to stuff them in death's coffer, taking advantage of the ge value to save money in the long run.

All of these changes at least SOUND good to me. Some of these skills have needed some love for a long, long time.

my grinds for zealots robes and mining gloves just got so much nicer. waiting for the game to get easier pays off yet again thx mudkip

Why are people buying at 950k... Right after showing that death offers 2.4m..... I bought 2 at 925k just to bulk up my coffer

Dude shows there currently worth 2.5x value in deaths coffer and then is confused for several minutes as to why people are buying them.

Wait people were angry about a 5k adjustment for agility 😂

I need 2 mining levels for 99, 5 for RC and 3 Slayer lvls for Max. These updates are kinda nice.

Been playing for over 20 years. While I enjoy the changes and improvements, part of me does wish we had a pre GE game. As original as it was in 02-03.

Rogue's chest in wildy also seem to have changed. No one talks about them. 3rd chest changed spot and lower spawn rates

Thank god. My first task at Chaeldar was 8 steel dragons. I was level 70 ish with no gear.

Glad they decided to rework skilling at this scale. For someone who is maxed already, I like that players now can do skills less tediously for their alts!

damn i missed the shades update, thanks!

I did not know you could give death barter items. That will save me some money as I’m pretty good at going after bosses out of my league

Hello just started today, how do you get the fishes to stack in your inventory like that? mine dont

So imagine wearing the full smithing gear to give more xp when smelting at the blast furnace but also having the effects of graceful so you dont waste your run energy as fast.

This would have been a perfect time to add a timer upstairs of volcanic mine

They need to have perks for each graceful set recolor instead of just cosmetic" for looks" like green hosidius for wcting xp or somerhing. Storing skilling outfits into graceful sets similar to having max cape and having all the perks from that.

Qol is goated

At least getting 99 agility for the third time wont be as bad at rooftops did 1st main pre sepul, 2nd main at sepul and now iron will most likely be a mix of ardy and sepul.. also about time for the 96 for the legends shortcut

This is interesting.. I'm working on agility at canifis and usually I get 1 mark of grace every 4 turns but now I get a mark every 2 turns.. going to make the graceful set more easily. I already got the head, chest, cape.. and I'm going make agility my first 99.. as annoying that maybe it will be worth it.. to get it over with

OMG of course they update mage training area after I spent the last week there to get bones to peaches

As someone who's highest skill is Agility (96), this is the first time I've ever felt the urge of "well it was hard for me, so it should be hard for everyone!" that seemingly every OSRS player has, but I will fight that urge down. Would have been cool to get some compensation for all those Ape Atoll laps I did markless though

I logged in today after 177 days, saw the note about the skills update and had to go to work. Watching this at lunch has me so flipping excited about the timing I picked to Re-Scape.

That explains why I got lucky on the one of those rings and now wish they increase from 10 to maybe 15 or 20 makes a little fair because a 100% grantee. I don't want ask for anything higher than 20 because than it little unfair, but it be worth it at 20 maybe 25 but than it being pushing it. Like meet I the middle 15 will be cool. Now I going try the gem and agility thing.

This is crazy, im reading through the patch notes and they are buffing skilling massively across the board. Seems not bad, I only play iron so I like skilling, but imagine for the average player skilling is mostly dead content. This seems to be a decent way to bring back dead content, albeit at the cost of power creep and "easyscape".

TIL Blowpipe crafting requirement was only 53 fletching. That's like, less than a yew shortbow lol? What a weirdly imbalanced thing to have had in the game for so long and I never once questioned it XD

Superiors should be boosted in single combat areas from konar because of the variety of monsters and locations not blocked and the lack of multi combat area and then that assigned monster even having a superior variety. Like a crazy amount increase like 5x. For balancing slayer exp a hour. Also every slayer monster should have superior variety. Even like dogs, which killing ardy dogs in ardounge with just fire strike unlocked and on long range you almost get like the same slayer to defense experience but you should hit def first assuming you started training them at lvl 3 , because most monsters share the same hp regen health as players in normal game(unless they added superior to every monster in slayer has a superior) and should hit like 30 def and slayer after two task. So it should be “a sketchy dog” and konar wouldn’t assign that but if you got it , it should always drop a long bone. And it should have a aoe range attack with bones if out of melee range and it should be like 10 ticks lol and a low regen rate or none .

The agility changes are a bandaid solution. XP bumps don't make the skill more fun to train. What makes them more fun to train is actually having something worth grinding the skill for. Right now, the only reason people train agility is for the shortcuts and/or bowfa requirement for later. That's why most people don't train past 70-75 agility. No reason to. If you want to make agility more impactful/rewarding to train, then make it actually do something EFFECTIVE with run energy and make it so we actually fail shortcuts and agility courses less or not at all past a certain agility level. RN it pretty much does nothing to your run energy.

Great vid helped a lot!

I've noticed the loot drops at Zalcano are a lot less than they used to be, might just be bad luck but I only made 680k in 22kc in a 4-man group, not counting the crystal shards. I suspect they wanted to nerf the drops since they expected more kills per hour there, but its terrible money now compared to how it used to be.

My next grind is brimhaven and monkey course. This could not be better timmed

Mta doesnt sound like an actual nightmare now.

For multiple clues I found a bug back in like 2008 where if you had multiple clues on the ground you could drop them across worlds moving them to a F2P world then pick them all up because they became member objects, pretty sure that bug would still be in the game now. I don't play osrs so can't try

The mage training arena changes are BIIIG. Shame I already grinded out my bones to peaches and Infinity boots. Might go back and get the master wand if I can't think of anything else to do.

That diary update finally means I will use the herb patch at troll stronghold

It's not about maxxing it's about the xp we earned along the way.🖤

I bought a few for 900k on the main, for deaths coffer funds. kinda cuts death costs in half

thank you for breaking it down

Man i just did Canafis to 60 agility last month. Ohh well, got red graceful out of it.

The people buying where people like me who were buying them for 1m to put in deaths coffer for 2m (was learning colosseum so had to make a big death coffer)

4:00 The nature runecrafting route is super cool! It would definitely be more useful if the diary cape didn't already require nearly 2k total level (including 90 some agility and runecraft), but it still seems like a neat little addition!

I’m just confused on the slayer canceling a task when asked part, is that going to erase your slayer points ?

The store task for free is nice. The cancel task im never going to use because my muscle memory to instantly open rewards and cancel is too strong. So its w.e. I'm all for making QOL stuff, even if im already 99. Some of the grinds were absolutely garbage and totally unfun, if they make them fun and a bit more efficient im ok with that.

81 agility for waterbirth shortcut that lets you completely skip the entirety of the walk to DKs? Not since graceful have I actually had the excitement to grind out agility!!

Good Morning, I woke up today and chose violence. That is what I thought I was about to hear..

How does the desert diary affect the pollvineach course xp rates?

watching this on .25 speed and having a blast! lol

I WAS WONDERING WHY MY MINING GLOVES HAD A 100% SUCCESS RATE ON RUNITE!! I had no idea this update happened lol thought i had some crazy luck

Small sample size I know but 300 heroes gave me 2 elites

Be me, constantly hunting master clues at 85-ish agility. Be crapped on by wholesome youtuber for newb skills. Go train harder. Thanks for the consistent inspiration, king.

Just started playing again 3 days ago trying a skiller based hardcore, i guess it was the perfect time to play again.

I finished my ape atoll laps at level 81 last week… pain

Wow this is somthing new I wanna see

Granite and Sandstone got removed from the Expert mining gloves affected rocks

2024 and KZfaq creators still aren’t using timestamps. Bye

i like how you showed death gives 2.5M GP towards coffee for the Christmas Crackers and then were so confused as to why they were being bought for 940k..😂

Don’t assume ppl at amethyst don’t pay attention, just finished making 800k amethyst arrowtips on my uim lvl skiller, took months and now this comes out, I had idle notifier on for 2 seconds to try to make the grind a lil faster but took me about 7 months but 2 months was leagues, btw I never saw u at ape atoll agility course on leagues, I knew u would be there but wasn’t lucky

you can still gamble. the host picks a color and the gambler guesses which color. then trade to confirm

That Nature Rune shortcut is a game changer for RC exp. Let us fucking go.

Runecrafting having a graceful alternative allowing you to wear the full runecrafting set and giving you the ability to wear full graceful for long trips.

I do not like the removal of most superior slayer task from the lower slayer masters, why even have 1-40 slayer monster at this point if you need 85 cb to even see them.

As a f2p I dont see anything effecting my methods... 0:14

why did i spend all my gold nuggets on gem packs when i got 99? i still do mining for a little afk stuff and i want that top floor hopper now

Fantastic job

"Cover your eyes and ears until I tell you to stop" … Can no longer receive audible or visual instructions … remains deaf and blind forever

Overall good changes, well done Jagex.

Did they change the mining gloves since this video? Blog post now no longer includes granite and sandstone.

Hey mudkip, how do you find motivation to play after maxing?

fever spiders are AWESOME cash for low level irons

I miss your cooking clips from leagues

So we can cancel tasks via NPC Contact now?

Did they ever fix the skilling outfit bugs
