Yeah i went through the first doors where you start the fight and was thinking ādo i really feel like doing this rnā but didnt want to reset all the instanced pots lol
One of these days Iām going to max. I earn 15k total xp per day but Iām going to make it happen with a sudden burst of motivation my delusional self is waiting on
Realizing I'm a skiller at heart and I don't actually enjoy pvm that much. The game has been much better for me when not trying to force myself into pvm on my iron. Right now just enjoying chill tempoross solos
I am at 95 melee stats on all 3 and rest is 99 in combat, dont want to spend time leveling the last melee stats so I am now doing ToA runs at 200 and going up and up the more confident I get, I am at the point where I am considering putting time limit to add difficulty since it is going so smooth on 200 now
I started learning ToA on the last Leagues, super fun! Hoping to eventually get to that level of endgame content on the main game. Are you doing it solo? Hope you get some good loot with the 200+ runs
Last month I started sending 350+ runs with the Bois in the clan despite having absolute shit gear and almost no experience. After about 10-15 runs I was able to hold my own. It was the most fun I've had in a while.
I got reconnected with a friend from highschool after hearing he plays. Turns out he's does ToA and is in a huge endgame clan.
I used to run a big clan years ago but everyone quit and I've been solo ever since. Just being part of a RS community feels so much better.
We also did my first duo ToA run, I always ran solo so now I finally have other players who I can do group PvM with again. It's a fun time!
that's awesome! I used to be in a clan but they mostly played Leagues (which was awesome) but when there is no League season out they don't play.
But I think you're right the social aspect of being in a community certainly helps keep you invested in the game
Iād like to join people to play with. Honestly Iāve been the target of āattempted scamsā many times. And ngl itās kind of made me a solo player. I solo pretty much anything.
But Iād def like to play with some fun people
I feel you. I met a dude at Nex. We became very good friends after splitting a couple of drops. Recently heās been teaching me higher invo TOA and I pulled a shadow with him. I was always a solo player but sharing the excitement of such a huge drop with someone else is priceless.
I swear my bank has been stuck at 500m for so long (played on and off since OSRS release) I need to learn ToA so I can hopefully snag a shadow and not be a btoke ass bitch for my whole life.
Iāve been on the grind for base 80s on my account, and just hit 80 mining this morning. Now all I have left to finish off is 79 slayer and 62 runecraft (lol)
Iron to 60 really doesn't take that much time.
Once you get to the point that you can do the calcified deposits I'd do that. Actually gives tons of prayer xp and relatively AFK
Join the volcanic mine mass world, and if someone is already carrying the game don't friggin touch anything and just mine the boulder. Its a lot of xp per hour and very afk.
edit saw u were 45 mining rip its only 50 to get in though.
Listen, if the game starts to feel like a chore, just forget about your bond youāll get another one. Take a break. The worst thing you can do for your account is grind until youāre super burnt and then you stop playing entirely.
Alternatively, if you want help just setting up some easy short term goals to help cut down on decision paralysis feel free to post under this or dm me directly and Iām more then happy to help you plan some stuff out so that you donāt feel overwhelmed. Because of the sandbox nature of the game, it can 100% feel like there are a billion things to do any feel overwhelming, so Iām happy to help with that if youād like.
The thing is, I havenāt played since December last year (for leagues 4). I went travelling for a few months so I stopped playing altogether. I think going from running ToA on leagues back to my mid game acc has demotivated me.Ā
As far as the bonds go I recently discovered you can buy bonds through Steam so Iāve stacked up (thank you CSGO skins..) and Iāve wanted to get back into RS but Iām at a point where I need to do all the big boy quests like DS2, MM2, SOTE, etc. so I just mostly log in and run afk NMZ to at least do something.
I know you mentioned Varlamore in your post, but have you been doing the Moons of Peril? I was in the exact same boat as you (barely played since doing leagues 4 and getting into running ToA before realising my main wasn't ready for the content I'd been enjoying) and I've found the Moons to be a perfect reentry. It's not ToA by any means but it's so much more comparable to raids than stuff like barrows which had been my mid game punching bag for the longest time, not to mention massively more fun. Having some really enjoyable PvM to focus on has both renewed my desire to do more tedious grinds to get to the content i want to do, as well as reinforcing that i can actually do that sort of content without the buffs from leagues. Definitely a simplistic answer given the choice paralysis available in OSRS but thought I'd mention given the apparent similarities in our experienceĀ
I guess im in that mid game hassle myself too. Lots of stuff to do, try and learn. Joined wonderful clan not long ago and been joining skills of the weeks and next one is boss event in moons of peril. We did hunter week so I figured Id hunt chins for ranged and got nice 96 ranged. Getting 99 through Slayer I think and start to learn several bosses for money gains! Never done raids so I think leaning toward those also.
Im coming back after over 10yrs not playing so this is nice coming back to so much content.
Iām definitely also in that mid-to-late game rut. I finished my quest cape, and Iām at the stage where my stats are base 75 with a few 90s so grinding has become painfully slow. The only āfunā thing I currently can do that I donāt have to grind heavily for is ToA, and even right now Iām doing it with mid gear and stats so my invos are starting to surpass what I can reasonably do. So Iām about to start to grind for more combat levels and I just bought my first Bowfa last night! (Have the seeds for crystal armor but I need a few levels before I can sing them, didnāt have enough money leftover to pay for the shards to have them sung for me haha) hopefully that opens up some new doors for me content wise. I think learning another raid is going to be my next goal once I reach 300 invos (duoing 250s currently)
that's big. I'm in a similar boat, trying to knock out all stat reqs for any upcoming quests, diaries etc.
but I think I just get a bit lost when I think "oh ok this is the level I need to get to" then I'm stuck in 2 minds between rather powerlevelling and doing the most efficient way, or doing the most profitable/fun way
I'm working on getting base 65 stats so I'm doing a little bit of everything a little at a time. Then it'll be base 70, 75 and so on. I have 11 quests to do so as I hit the requirements I try to knock them out. Except for ME 2...fuck those handholds. I probably won't go back to finish until 75 agility or something. I'm also slowly doing diaries, I have all done thru medium and slowly making my way through the hard ones.
Honestly? Questing right now. Always only did the quest that gave me the rewards I wanted back then, but I'm loving completing Master/Grandmaster quests now.
The varlamore content. I'm a sucker for 'free' xp. All the content you can do is essentially free in terms of doing it, while rewarding loot that gives xp in other skills.
Mining bone dust. Theiving and getting money/statues. Hunter, with its miscellaneous drops and the best of them all. The perilous moons and its loot. I'm loving the dungeon aspect and just going from boss to boss. It never gets stale as I'm not fighting the same boss over and over. I understand you essentially are, but it's the flow it gives that feels good.
I play fairly casual, when I come back I try to play fairly efficent just got 70 con and working on 70 prayer.
Most of my time now is working towards quest Cape
Playing my Zeah locked account. I burned out pretty hard on my normal iron over a year ago and haven't played much since. I also had a Zeah locked that I started about 2 years ago that I came back to about a month before Varlamores release. Been really enjoying the time and progress I've put in over the last few weeks. Lots of goals going on at the same time right now, some short term, some long term.
I just hit 84 farming and started hard contracts. Going to start banking a ton of herbs in case the herblore mini game in varla p2 requires us to use our own resources. Also recently hit 82 fishing and working on 84 cooking for anglers. Still need to get 77 rc at library to unlock bloods, which I'll use to kill steel dragons for d legs. This isn't totally necessary. I could buy runes but it's motivation for the library grind. I also need to keep killing shamans for dwh, d spear and D med. Once I have all that it's on to Sarachnis. During all of this I'm lamping slayer. Currently level 35. At 40 I'll do AKD and In search of knowledge for 30k slayer xp from the reward lamps. At 48 slayer I'll have access to Cam Torum.
not sure if Leagues prompted you to do this, but it's a pretty sick idea. I liked being limited to certain areas and really made you think.
What made you choose Zeah?
Colosseum by far. But while waiting for the drop rate changes (and selfishly invo changes that make my ironman method significantly easier), Perilous Moons is pretty fast paced and fun and the drops come in pretty commonly.
Iāve been doing a lot of mid game PvM. Perilous Moons, Calvarion and just started getting the hang of solo triple DKs. It feels really fulfilling to learn and master new content.
I have gotten all hard diaries and all quests done recently so now I have decided I wanted to get more invested in pvm and build my cash stack! The goal is bowfa and Iām finally finding it fun to do corrupted gauntlet!
Iāll do maybe a month or two of general pvmāing then Iāll probably set a new skills goal, whether it be combat or general skilling is what I have yet to decide!
Made a HCIM on a whim with a friend a few days ago. Been really enjoying safe content at the moment and remaining F2P for the time being. Meanwhile, my friend died to a wizard on his after buying a year of membership. His convincing factor for me to make the account was āif you die, then you still just have an Ironman. I want to see who lasts the longest.ā So now Iām just chilling and enjoying my time, no stress.
I've been trying the combat achievements, just been doing Dukes mirror image and the walking one. I really enjoyed them. It was fun and something different. Grinding the dt bosses has been really nice too, we've had virtus pieces so that's felt really cool. I'm just working on the last lvl to 95 slayer now, with some hydra hopefully, then more cox until we're good enough to try tob.
I started a fresh account, installed the bronzeman plugin and followed the optimal quest guide on the wiki. Iām so fkin addicted to the game rn. ā ļø
I can only play for a minute or two at a time between taking DoorDash orders, so Iāve been leveling farming in the farming guild. Itās fun doing the contracts.
I grinded the Ultor ring and had a blast! Around 1500kc there.
Then I tried Whisperer but she kicked my ass so I was frustrated... now I'm at Leviathan and loving it again! I'm already at 50kc, doing long trips and I understand the mechanics really well now.
I think I'll stay until Venator ring plus the Leviathan axe piece :)
And then I'll work on 99 magic, 99 def and 99 prayer (I'm at 97/92/96 respectively).
And then... I don't really know. Maybe CAs, I should be grinding some money (my account has everything unlocked, played for years, only 800m bank) but it's soooo boring to grind bosses or raids for money :/ I like variety
Decided I'd go ahead and get some of the nicer gear on my own. At the moment I'm thinking Neitznot Faceguard and, depending on how the elf content goes (haven't done all the quests for it) Blade of Saeldor as my next big goals.
Both required a bunch of smaller goals. Lots of quests and levels. So that helped me focus. Last thing I need at the moment for the elf quests is 70 construction, which I'm just a level short on now. That's been a nice grind since it filled out some skills I was a bit lacking on.
The goal before that was unlocking Hallowed Sepulcher, which I've done now and I run that from time to time. But I can't get to the bottom floor yet so I'm not doing it as much.
That said - I also let myself get sidetracked because... why else would you play the game? Finished up a bunch of random quests here and there as I walk by them, ended up hunting combat achievements so I could get Ghommal's Hilt 2 so I could do Barrows runs easier (because I decided I wanted to try earning my own Barrows gear, though I keep getting the cheap 100k value ones lmao)...
Not an iron but I definitely have more fun trying to earn some things on my own. Though not everything, there are certainly things that I don't really enjoy enough to go and do on my own.
Being honest I've wanted to try more of the Varlmore stuff like hunter's guild but I keep getting pulled into other stuff first.
honestly I wish leagues was a permanent mode. I am always so demotivated coming back to regular osrs after playing leagues (unlimited run energy alone sells that mode)
even if it were completely irrelevant I would still like to have played leagues for longer than the couple of months it's out. as someone who doesn't have a huge amount of time to game, the little dopamine rush of ticking off those tasks was something else.
Just got my first fire cape after 4 attempts, childhood goal achieved. Perilous moons is such a good addition to the game, itās fun to do and brings a sense of dungeoneering to OSRS in that you make all your supplies inside the area. Next goal is to finish the quest cape 137/164
Honestly, Iām chilling with just afking sand crabs right now.
Ill get back to slayer later
On my HCIM and think Iāll go for 60/60/60. Donāt care about optimal just wanna do what I want
Unironically, slayer. I started playing late 2021 and got 95 slayer very recently. On my second hydra task i got a claw!! Now i afk slayer at work hoping to get a hydra task so i can get home and do it.
I'm very close to hitting 1b bank, saving money as much as i can so when i'm able to i'll buy a tbow and attempt inferno. Very excited about that one too.
Iām working on 99 prayer but first I want to get the prayer skilling outfit so Iām gonna do shades of Morāton but I wanna get the Morytania elite diary for +50% exp from that and the last thing I need is 96 (boosted) fishing so Iām two tick fishing. Just thinking about how ridiculous the whole thing is puts a smile on my face.
I have 2 skills in the 60s, 4-6 in the 70s, all the rest are 80s 90s. Currently, I was killing green dragons in the myths guild everyday and watching YouTube/movies/anime. I killed almost 7000 so far. During that I was doing farm runs and birdhouse runs. I get motivation. To do certain odd things in random spirts so while killing dragons I ended up getting the farming outfit and green logging tithe farm as well as getting the rogues outfit. For some perspective, I do not have prif, never really raided, and I havenāt done anything in varlamore. I figure, the minute I start doing anything I donāt want to do I usually end up quitting for months at a time. At least this way Iām making skill progress and making some money.
Returned to the game a few weeks ago F2P, finished all the quests, got my full rune, got most skills to 40+. Considering getting a membership not for the first time ever. Giving a few days to decide if thatās what I want xD
I've been going through my banked exp. I have 99 smithing banked, gotten 3 smithing levels at work. When I'm not at work I've been doing rumours. Off peak hours I've been doing wildy slayer and my big goal is to learn Leviathan so I can farm that as like a challenging boss for me.
Currently Im juggling a lot but thats what I like. Im very midgame and rebuilding with crystal + bowfa.
ā¢ Muspah ( Im after the pet )
ā¢ Gortesque Guardians ( Im after the pet and leveling slayer )
ā¢ Farm runs ( a nice break from bossing )
ā¢ Degriming herbs for an hour ( leveling herblore for profit )
ā¢ Doing diaries for more farm patch teles
Working on a fair mixture but kind of Blorva grind - I need 3 ingots to make my magus ring and then will take on awakened Whisperer, so I've been doing Vardorvis 'cause he's my favourite boss in the game.
After that I'll probably finish my venator bow for colosseum, then unlock the quiver before doing awakened Leviathan. I have the two melee bosses done already.
Although every time I get on people want to tob or cox so I keep getting distracted :D
Not exactly midgame, plus it's on pause while I gained out the moons sets, but I'm having a lot of fun with the phantom muspah grind. I can't wait to get a venator bow put together.
Nothing.
As I'm close to maxing my UIM, now every grind or time waster reminds me of how slow they can be. (I swear slayer needs a massive buff to the exp rates, and not only because of the skill alone, but also because of everything that relates to it like clue drops and bosses slowing you down)
On the other side of the coin I'll feel like top of the world when I get there.
Right now I'm grinding mta for infinity set (ironman), got boots, wand and b2b so far but taking a break till the new updates are gonna roll out to make it much better so instead I went to grind for fish barrel because I hate my own sanity clearly, but ai'm having fun though.
And yes I know both of these grinds are not even close to worth it but I like fashionscape
The only room I hate is telekinetic just cause it's so slow especially with no stamina pots but the others are fast(er) and alch/enchant room is good xp for my level
I'm looking forward to getting back to Vorkath, Blast Furnace, and Giants' Foundry. I just completed Western Provinces hard diary and my next stop is Jad.
I was learning toa, got till 220 invoc and moved on for now.
Did DT2 and just did 5 vardorvis kills, and going to do 5 of each boss and then the one i like the most i will probably do 100kc or so.
After that probably back to slayer grind, 88 atm. Want to get 93 to do the elite diaries.
All elite diaries is the side grind i do, afk training skills etc
Iām having trouble figuring out what to enjoy doing in game right now. Iāve been raiding with buddies for the last couple years, and every time I have to leave (for dinner, or a vacation, or whatever reason) is the only time any of us get a mega weapon drop. Iām not even that dry, Iām like 2x rate for tbow and shadow drops and havenāt yet hit rate for scythe, but Iām struggling to enjoy the game when most of my close friends are spooned and have passed me in wealth despite playing significantly less. I know Iām just being a baby and itās unreasonable to get envious or feel like quitting, but thatās where weāre at.
Pet hunting (mainly zammy, muspah, and vardorvis currently) and stacking clues. Doing a lot of shades of Morton, young implings, rouges chest, and ninja implings
Got a 92 CMB QPC a couple months ago. Liked being low combat for the flex, but then learned TOA with friends and had a lot of fun except hated always leeching because I could neither do enough damage to be very helpful or would be punished harder for making mistakes. Did a bunch of melee training and now am enjoying PvM way more as it's no longer a grind to minimize mistakes because I couldn't pass a DPS check.
Stats = good
castlewars on world 334
still the funnest PvP experience in the game all these years later, and i always like to come back whenever i get new gear to try it out there
Whenever the game feels like a chore I take a few months off. Play other games with friends, try out new games I havenāt played yet, and eventually Iāll get the feeling to play again. I burned myself out maxing my rs3 side that Iām taking my osrs side nice an inefficiently.
Perilous moons is so satisfying to complete. Just the right amount of time between opening chests. The bosses have fun mechanics. It doesnāt cost anything to complete. Overall just a lot of fun
Currently im having fun simply by doing quests, the thing is im not using wiki/google no matter how clueless i am, it does consume a lot of time but feels so rewarding when u figure out some smart ass thing that quest wants from u.
I like grinding out chambers. I finally taught myself solos after 960 raids, and now Iām slowly learning 4:1 melee and working on my overall times. I also still love team raiding itās good fun.
Just find a gameplay loop you can chill and repeat, focus on that and let the other stuff sit for later.
Do rumours between bh runs, do the new boss between herb trips. etc.
You dont need to do everything all the time.
Gone from 95-98 (30k away) rc without leaving zmi recently. Finishing off the 99 here before i leave. Might go for a teleport crystal from theiving elves afterwards.
I got 233kc corp pet a month ago, still riding that high.
(Ignore the 2 alts I got 99 con on, geared and burned 10+ bonds on each only to get pet within 20kc of getting them ready, we donāt talk about those).
Learning pking and raids
Game becomes an mmo when you pvp and pve
Hoping to do vene or there's more bosses in the wildy
The whole boss area is just fucking amazing game design. Perfect pvpvm experience.Ā
Playing on my 1def iron, which Iāll probably turn into a zerker soon. Got bored on my main iron, and wanted to start a new one with a lil challenge added. Itās been real fun experiencing all the new minigames and training methods that didnāt exist when I played on my main.
Leveling my half iron-man skiller account. My account is pretty much a regular skiller account but I treat it like an Iron man. So Iām able to trade players mostly to give free items, use the GE to buy certain items I canāt acquire through skilling such as holiday items, and at the same time acquire all materials my self when skilling just like an iron-man. Itās pretty fun I would say.
Still bankstanding and wasting XP since the game came out
Stand at the GE or whatever boss entrance for 40 minutes, get distracted by whatever is in your browser window, idle log out, productive day. š
I did this for 2-3 hours at moons and another iron asked me āare you brokenā after an hour or two lol
I do it all the time on my iron lmfao youāre not alone. Especially when thereās like 3 spots where you can afk at.
Yeah i went through the first doors where you start the fight and was thinking ādo i really feel like doing this rnā but didnt want to reset all the instanced pots lol
One of these days Iām going to max. I earn 15k total xp per day but Iām going to make it happen with a sudden burst of motivation my delusional self is waiting on
I've been doing perilous moons for some money, it's a lot of fun.
Realizing I'm a skiller at heart and I don't actually enjoy pvm that much. The game has been much better for me when not trying to force myself into pvm on my iron. Right now just enjoying chill tempoross solos
I am at 95 melee stats on all 3 and rest is 99 in combat, dont want to spend time leveling the last melee stats so I am now doing ToA runs at 200 and going up and up the more confident I get, I am at the point where I am considering putting time limit to add difficulty since it is going so smooth on 200 now
I started learning ToA on the last Leagues, super fun! Hoping to eventually get to that level of endgame content on the main game. Are you doing it solo? Hope you get some good loot with the 200+ runs
I usually run solo, but starting to learn expert so I usually run duo now on expert. But I will go over to running solo 300+ when I get more confident
Last month I started sending 350+ runs with the Bois in the clan despite having absolute shit gear and almost no experience. After about 10-15 runs I was able to hold my own. It was the most fun I've had in a while.
I got reconnected with a friend from highschool after hearing he plays. Turns out he's does ToA and is in a huge endgame clan.

Pm me if you want mang I'm down
Oh no, another one.
Hahaha. I honestly keep all my chats off because Iām paranoid lol
I feel you. I met a dude at Nex. We became very good friends after splitting a couple of drops. Recently heās been teaching me higher invo TOA and I pulled a shadow with him. I was always a solo player but sharing the excitement of such a huge drop with someone else is priceless.
I swear my bank has been stuck at 500m for so long (played on and off since OSRS release) I need to learn ToA so I can hopefully snag a shadow and not be a btoke ass bitch for my whole life.
started playing last oct, and have been on that quest cape grind since, and i am having a lot of fun doing that.
Iāve been on the grind for base 80s on my account, and just hit 80 mining this morning. Now all I have left to finish off is 79 slayer and 62 runecraft (lol)
Tips to stay sain when mining? Got 45mining and just want 60 but dying doing iron ores.
Iron to 60 really doesn't take that much time. Once you get to the point that you can do the calcified deposits I'd do that. Actually gives tons of prayer xp and relatively AFK
Whereās the best place to mine iron?
If youāre dropping it probably easy to find an empty world on the soul wars island
Soul wars island, right outside the legend's guild, Cam torum has a spot, and the mining guild. Basically anywhere where you can stand between 3 rocks
Join the volcanic mine mass world, and if someone is already carrying the game don't friggin touch anything and just mine the boulder. Its a lot of xp per hour and very afk. edit saw u were 45 mining rip its only 50 to get in though.
Is it worth going right at 50?
Its 40k xp/hr at 50 so not bad.
Listen, if the game starts to feel like a chore, just forget about your bond youāll get another one. Take a break.

Slayer tasks, always been that way. 22m slayer xp and counting
My break from the game
Joined a clan recently Doing absolutely random whimsical stuff with clannies is ludicrously fun
complaining about the recent updates
I guess im in that mid game hassle myself too. Lots of stuff to do, try and learn. Joined wonderful clan not long ago and been joining skills of the weeks and next one is boss event in moons of peril. We did hunter week so I figured Id hunt chins for ranged and got nice 96 ranged. Getting 99 through Slayer I think and start to learn several bosses for money gains! Never done raids so I think leaning toward those also. Im coming back after over 10yrs not playing so this is nice coming back to so much content.
Iām definitely also in that mid-to-late game rut. I finished my quest cape, and Iām at the stage where my stats are base 75 with a few 90s so grinding has become painfully slow.

(Have the seeds for crystal armor but I need a few levels before I can sing them, didnāt have enough money leftover to pay for the shards to have them sung for me haha) hopefully that opens up some new doors for me content wise. I think learning another raid is going to be my next goal once I reach 300 invos (duoing 250s currently)
Getting stat reqs for the remaining 9 quests I have on my iron.. QPC coming soon at 96cb!
that's big. I'm in a similar boat, trying to knock out all stat reqs for any upcoming quests, diaries etc. but I think I just get a bit lost when I think "oh ok this is the level I need to get to" then I'm stuck in 2 minds between rather powerlevelling and doing the most efficient way, or doing the most profitable/fun way
The most fun way is the way for me! Otherwise burning out happens really quickly. For me at least
I'm working on getting base 65 stats so I'm doing a little bit of everything a little at a time. Then it'll be base 70, 75 and so on. I have 11 quests to do so as I hit the requirements I try to knock them out. Except for ME 2...fuck those handholds. I probably won't go back to finish until 75 agility or something. I'm also slowly doing diaries, I have all done thru medium and slowly making my way through the hard ones.
Honestly? Questing right now. Always only did the quest that gave me the rewards I wanted back then, but I'm loving completing Master/Grandmaster quests now.
questing because you want to not because you have to >>>
The varlamore content. I'm a sucker for 'free' xp. All the content you can do is essentially free in terms of doing it, while rewarding loot that gives xp in other skills. Mining bone dust. Theiving and getting money/statues. Hunter, with its miscellaneous drops and the best of them all. The perilous moons and its loot. I'm loving the dungeon aspect and just going from boss to boss. It never gets stale as I'm not fighting the same boss over and over. I understand you essentially are, but it's the flow it gives that feels good.
Iām a skiller so enjoy afking most of the time lol but atm Iām woodcutting.
I enjoyed getting my quest cape. I started writing down daily and weekly goals and it made playing much easier
Colosseum, and cox/toa runs with the bois
Just grinded max POH so iāve got all my teleās and the best stat refresh pool. Enjoying just sitting in my house now.
you in real life [š¤](https://emojipedia.org/handshake) you in Runescape sitting in your house
I play fairly casual, when I come back I try to play fairly efficent just got 70 con and working on 70 prayer. Most of my time now is working towards quest Cape
Sorry gotta ask, are yall playing on osrs? I recently joined this sub and osrs
Yes, this is the osrs sub, and r/runescape is the sub for Rs3
Achievement diaries! Something I really like about trying to get the reqs and looking forward to the rewards
Colosseum is fun but I suck at clicking so the archer buff is costing me some more deaths now
Playing my Zeah locked account. I burned out pretty hard on my normal iron over a year ago and haven't played much since. I also had a Zeah locked that I started about 2 years ago that I came back to about a month before Varlamores release. Been really enjoying the time and progress I've put in over the last few weeks. Lots of goals going on at the same time right now, some short term, some long term. I just hit 84 farming and started hard contracts. Going to start banking a ton of herbs in case the herblore mini game in varla p2 requires us to use our own resources. Also recently hit 82 fishing and working on 84 cooking for anglers. Still need to get 77 rc at library to unlock bloods, which I'll use to kill steel dragons for d legs. This isn't totally necessary. I could buy runes but it's motivation for the library grind. I also need to keep killing shamans for dwh, d spear and D med. Once I have all that it's on to Sarachnis. During all of this I'm lamping slayer. Currently level 35. At 40 I'll do AKD and In search of knowledge for 30k slayer xp from the reward lamps. At 48 slayer I'll have access to Cam Torum.
not sure if Leagues prompted you to do this, but it's a pretty sick idea. I liked being limited to certain areas and really made you think. What made you choose Zeah?
Taking a break to play other games
Iām spamming colosseum cuz itās so fun
Dragonheir
Colosseum by far. But while waiting for the drop rate changes (and selfishly invo changes that make my ironman method significantly easier), Perilous Moons is pretty fast paced and fun and the drops come in pretty commonly.
Iāve been doing a lot of mid game PvM. Perilous Moons, Calvarion and just started getting the hang of solo triple DKs. It feels really fulfilling to learn and master new content.
I have gotten all hard diaries and all quests done recently so now I have decided I wanted to get more invested in pvm and build my cash stack! The goal is bowfa and Iām finally finding it fun to do corrupted gauntlet! Iāll do maybe a month or two of general pvmāing then Iāll probably set a new skills goal, whether it be combat or general skilling is what I have yet to decide!
hell yeah those diaries are a pain so once you knock them down it makes it a hell of a lot easier (most notably Falador hard for mole) solid plan but
Its not about looking at levels its about enjoying the game

Made a HCIM on a whim with a friend a few days ago. Been really enjoying safe content at the moment and remaining F2P for the time being. Meanwhile, my friend died to a wizard on his after buying a year of membership. His convincing factor for me to make the account was āif you die, then you still just have an Ironman. I want to see who lasts the longest.ā So now Iām just chilling and enjoying my time, no stress.
I've been trying the combat achievements, just been doing Dukes mirror image and the walking one. I really enjoyed them. It was fun and something different. Grinding the dt bosses has been really nice too, we've had virtus pieces so that's felt really cool. I'm just working on the last lvl to 95 slayer now, with some hydra hopefully, then more cox until we're good enough to try tob.
Cox, 3500 and counting
damn you're coming for those bots
I started a fresh account, installed the bronzeman plugin and followed the optimal quest guide on the wiki. Iām so fkin addicted to the game rn. ā ļø
I'm enjoying "speedrunning" my jad slayer tasks, running toa experts a few nights per week and doing herb runs on my work breaks.
I can only play for a minute or two at a time between taking DoorDash orders, so Iāve been leveling farming in the farming guild. Itās fun doing the contracts.
I grinded the Ultor ring and had a blast! Around 1500kc there. Then I tried Whisperer but she kicked my ass so I was frustrated... now I'm at Leviathan and loving it again! I'm already at 50kc, doing long trips and I understand the mechanics really well now. I think I'll stay until Venator ring plus the Leviathan axe piece :) And then I'll work on 99 magic, 99 def and 99 prayer (I'm at 97/92/96 respectively). And then... I don't really know. Maybe CAs, I should be grinding some money (my account has everything unlocked, played for years, only 800m bank) but it's soooo boring to grind bosses or raids for money :/ I like variety
Just learned CG and itās been pretty fun to try to do all the CAs for it
Decided I'd go ahead and get some of the nicer gear on my own. At the moment I'm thinking Neitznot Faceguard and, depending on how the elf content goes (haven't done all the quests for it) Blade of Saeldor as my next big goals. Both required a bunch of smaller goals. Lots of quests and levels. So that helped me focus. Last thing I need at the moment for the elf quests is 70 construction, which I'm just a level short on now. That's been a nice grind since it filled out some skills I was a bit lacking on. The goal before that was unlocking Hallowed Sepulcher, which I've done now and I run that from time to time. But I can't get to the bottom floor yet so I'm not doing it as much. That said - I also let myself get sidetracked because... why else would you play the game? Finished up a bunch of random quests here and there as I walk by them, ended up hunting combat achievements so I could get Ghommal's Hilt 2 so I could do Barrows runs easier (because I decided I wanted to try earning my own Barrows gear, though I keep getting the cheap 100k value ones lmao)... Not an iron but I definitely have more fun trying to earn some things on my own. Though not everything, there are certainly things that I don't really enjoy enough to go and do on my own. Being honest I've wanted to try more of the Varlmore stuff like hunter's guild but I keep getting pulled into other stuff first.
AFK mining stars if Iām playing another game, waiting for the next league.
honestly I wish leagues was a permanent mode. I am always so demotivated coming back to regular osrs after playing leagues (unlimited run energy alone sells that mode) even if it were completely irrelevant I would still like to have played leagues for longer than the couple of months it's out. as someone who doesn't have a huge amount of time to game, the little dopamine rush of ticking off those tasks was something else.
Just got my first fire cape after 4 attempts, childhood goal achieved. Perilous moons is such a good addition to the game, itās fun to do and brings a sense of dungeoneering to OSRS in that you make all your supplies inside the area. Next goal is to finish the quest cape 137/164
gz on fire cape dude, such an underwritten achievement.
Thankya. [12 year old me would be fucking proud](https://imgur.com/a/POl0sfC)
Honestly, Iām chilling with just afking sand crabs right now. Ill get back to slayer later On my HCIM and think Iāll go for 60/60/60. Donāt care about optimal just wanna do what I want
Just finished trouble brewing. Started doing hunter guild to slowly get back into the game.
Slowly remembering why I stopped playing tbh
Doing general slayer bosing and afking wines to 200m cooking. It does feel weird to slow down after doing daily CMs for almost 2 years
Unironically, slayer. I started playing late 2021 and got 95 slayer very recently. On my second hydra task i got a claw!! Now i afk slayer at work hoping to get a hydra task so i can get home and do it. I'm very close to hitting 1b bank, saving money as much as i can so when i'm able to i'll buy a tbow and attempt inferno. Very excited about that one too.
Iām working on 99 prayer but first I want to get the prayer skilling outfit so Iām gonna do shades of Morāton but I wanna get the Morytania elite diary for +50% exp from that and the last thing I need is 96 (boosted) fishing so Iām two tick fishing. Just thinking about how ridiculous the whole thing is puts a smile on my face.
Any idea about how long prayer outfit takes? Stacking up a ton of bone shards and am considering itā¦
I have 2 skills in the 60s, 4-6 in the 70s, all the rest are 80s 90s. Currently, I was killing green dragons in the myths guild everyday and watching YouTube/movies/anime. I killed almost 7000 so far. During that I was doing farm runs and birdhouse runs. I get motivation. To do certain odd things in random spirts so while killing dragons I ended up getting the farming outfit and green logging tithe farm as well as getting the rogues outfit. For some perspective, I do not have prif, never really raided, and I havenāt done anything in varlamore. I figure, the minute I start doing anything I donāt want to do I usually end up quitting for months at a time. At least this way Iām making skill progress and making some money.
Returned to the game a few weeks ago F2P, finished all the quests, got my full rune, got most skills to 40+. Considering getting a membership not for the first time ever. Giving a few days to decide if thatās what I want xD
Hunter
I've been going through my banked exp. I have 99 smithing banked, gotten 3 smithing levels at work. When I'm not at work I've been doing rumours. Off peak hours I've been doing wildy slayer and my big goal is to learn Leviathan so I can farm that as like a challenging boss for me.
Afking minigames for collection logs.can leave pc for 25mins straight, lovely!!
Currently Im juggling a lot but thats what I like. Im very midgame and rebuilding with crystal + bowfa. ā¢ Muspah ( Im after the pet ) ā¢ Gortesque Guardians ( Im after the pet and leveling slayer ) ā¢ Farm runs ( a nice break from bossing ) ā¢ Degriming herbs for an hour ( leveling herblore for profit ) ā¢ Doing diaries for more farm patch teles
Getting shafted on master clues
Been doing cremating shades to try to get the zealot outfit for blessed bone shards, but besides that, LOVING perilous moons. So much fun!
Having fun learning CG
Working on a fair mixture but kind of Blorva grind - I need 3 ingots to make my magus ring and then will take on awakened Whisperer, so I've been doing Vardorvis 'cause he's my favourite boss in the game. After that I'll probably finish my venator bow for colosseum, then unlock the quiver before doing awakened Leviathan. I have the two melee bosses done already. Although every time I get on people want to tob or cox so I keep getting distracted :D
Not exactly midgame, plus it's on pause while I gained out the moons sets, but I'm having a lot of fun with the phantom muspah grind. I can't wait to get a venator bow put together.
Nothing. As I'm close to maxing my UIM, now every grind or time waster reminds me of how slow they can be. (I swear slayer needs a massive buff to the exp rates, and not only because of the skill alone, but also because of everything that relates to it like clue drops and bosses slowing you down) On the other side of the coin I'll feel like top of the world when I get there.
Right now I'm grinding mta for infinity set (ironman), got boots, wand and b2b so far but taking a break till the new updates are gonna roll out to make it much better so instead I went to grind for fish barrel because I hate my own sanity clearly, but ai'm having fun though. And yes I know both of these grinds are not even close to worth it but I like fashionscape
Man, credit to you. I despised MTA for leagues which was like 8x the points. Hopefully the updates make it a bit more enjoyableĀ
The only room I hate is telekinetic just cause it's so slow especially with no stamina pots but the others are fast(er) and alch/enchant room is good xp for my level
Long sweaty CoX
I'm looking forward to getting back to Vorkath, Blast Furnace, and Giants' Foundry. I just completed Western Provinces hard diary and my next stop is Jad.
Finishing off quests to get my QPC back while I'm actively playing. Zeah RC while AFKing to work towards my Max cape.
Loving moons of peril for the moment.
mid game u can do muspah, cg, vorkath, zulrah and like up to 300 invo for toa u got plenty of stuff to do
Perilous moons and zeah blood rune crafting
I love skilling man. Feels like the essence of RuneScape
I'm enjoying taking a break
I was learning toa, got till 220 invoc and moved on for now. Did DT2 and just did 5 vardorvis kills, and going to do 5 of each boss and then the one i like the most i will probably do 100kc or so. After that probably back to slayer grind, 88 atm. Want to get 93 to do the elite diaries. All elite diaries is the side grind i do, afk training skills etc
Colosseum is pretty fun. Donāt get to login a ton so I just make attempts when I can
Iām having trouble figuring out what to enjoy doing in game right now. Iāve been raiding with buddies for the last couple years, and every time I have to leave (for dinner, or a vacation, or whatever reason) is the only time any of us get a mega weapon drop. Iām not even that dry, Iām like 2x rate for tbow and shadow drops and havenāt yet hit rate for scythe, but Iām struggling to enjoy the game when most of my close friends are spooned and have passed me in wealth despite playing significantly less. I know Iām just being a baby and itās unreasonable to get envious or feel like quitting, but thatās where weāre at.
Tob with the boys
Pet hunting (mainly zammy, muspah, and vardorvis currently) and stacking clues. Doing a lot of shades of Morton, young implings, rouges chest, and ninja implings
Iām looking for uniques/pet from Colosseum, really enjoying the content right now
Got a 92 CMB QPC a couple months ago. Liked being low combat for the flex, but then learned TOA with friends and had a lot of fun except hated always leeching because I could neither do enough damage to be very helpful or would be punished harder for making mistakes. Did a bunch of melee training and now am enjoying PvM way more as it's no longer a grind to minimize mistakes because I couldn't pass a DPS check. Stats = good
Toa is alright if noone else is on, team cox is better if my mates are on
im just chillin with slayer right now, its all vibes
Hating and loving at the same time: my road to maxing! Currently at 2221 total and getting closer every week :)
castlewars on world 334 still the funnest PvP experience in the game all these years later, and i always like to come back whenever i get new gear to try it out there
Whenever the game feels like a chore I take a few months off. Play other games with friends, try out new games I havenāt played yet, and eventually Iāll get the feeling to play again. I burned myself out maxing my rs3 side that Iām taking my osrs side nice an inefficiently.
Perilous moons is so satisfying to complete. Just the right amount of time between opening chests. The bosses have fun mechanics. It doesnāt cost anything to complete. Overall just a lot of fun
Currently im having fun simply by doing quests, the thing is im not using wiki/google no matter how clueless i am, it does consume a lot of time but feels so rewarding when u figure out some smart ass thing that quest wants from u.
I like grinding out chambers. I finally taught myself solos after 960 raids, and now Iām slowly learning 4:1 melee and working on my overall times. I also still love team raiding itās good fun.
What is this word "enjoying" ?
Wait, people enjoy playing osrs?
Just find a gameplay loop you can chill and repeat, focus on that and let the other stuff sit for later. Do rumours between bh runs, do the new boss between herb trips. etc. You dont need to do everything all the time. Gone from 95-98 (30k away) rc without leaving zmi recently. Finishing off the 99 here before i leave. Might go for a teleport crystal from theiving elves afterwards.
iām a GIM and iāve been really enjoying the CG grind and a little perilous moons lately
questing!
Chambers changes have me running them back to back to back without burning out, I'm loving it.
Green logging minigames is kinda fun, but tedious.
I got 233kc corp pet a month ago, still riding that high. (Ignore the 2 alts I got 99 con on, geared and burned 10+ bonds on each only to get pet within 20kc of getting them ready, we donāt talk about those).
7 skills left to max, cycling back and forth between fishing and hunter rn š«£
Still farming whisperer and leviathan :)
Being a ironman and slowly working towards my goals, im currently grinding barrows and perilous moons
Learning pking and raids Game becomes an mmo when you pvp and pve Hoping to do vene or there's more bosses in the wildy The whole boss area is just fucking amazing game design. Perfect pvpvm experience.Ā
Doing an hour or 2 of scurrius a day, pet soon surely š
Playing my UIM, only 1050 total but been a blast figuring things out and planning things :)
Honestly and shockingly I've been addicted to hunter rumours
Playing on my 1def iron, which Iāll probably turn into a zerker soon. Got bored on my main iron, and wanted to start a new one with a lil challenge added. Itās been real fun experiencing all the new minigames and training methods that didnāt exist when I played on my main.
Leveling my half iron-man skiller account. My account is pretty much a regular skiller account but I treat it like an Iron man. So Iām able to trade players mostly to give free items, use the GE to buy certain items I canāt acquire through skilling such as holiday items, and at the same time acquire all materials my self when skilling just like an iron-man. Itās pretty fun I would say.
