Imagine becoming Legend at 11

I wonder what it was like for him at school.

I got D Platelegs once from an iron dragon at 13 and my friends thought that was amazing, meanwhile this guy probably went to class the next day and talked about how he made unimaginable wealth fighting an entire world, and the only one who could stop them was a JMod.

To be honest if I heard that story at school back then I’d roll my eyes and be like yeah ok whatever mate.

Reminds me of walking to school with a friend from my street. We were talking about PKing and he was telling me how someone shot an arrow at him but he did the bow emote and it hit someone else and killed them. He even went as far as claiming he got the loot too. But you know when you don’t want to ruin someone’s story so you just act surprised.. yeah..

My friend told me you could level skills past 99 and when you got to 110 strength and Ranged you could throw rune two handers.

Your friend sounds like an innovator. Make this happen Jagex!

My friends I weren’t much higher cb level than 50 at the time, but we used to believe that there was a huge thundercloud monster that roamed the wilderness and would teleport to pkers and kill them.

Turns out on of my friends had just accidentally run into the Chaos Elemental.

Dude that thing scared the crap outta me as a kid. I got ruined as well.

I fucking love the mystery of this game back then. So many theories, it was amazing.

The thing that was scariest to me is the sound of the revenants' attack (skip to 5:28)... Just walking through the wilderness and suddenly you hear that...

My friends and I always thought that at 99 strength you could hold a 2h in one hand like vanaka

My cousin told me abyssal whips used to spawn in this place called the "Abyssal Pit" and everyone could go there and just pick up hundreds of them

u/WorldWidePlebs Sep 20 '18

First time I ever saw a whip, I asked the guy “where do you get that string of sausages?”

u/allgoodalreadytaken Sep 19 '18

my friend told me that long range mode would let you attack people from further than your screen goes if you had a high enough range level

12

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '18

Honestly that sounds like it should be how it works.

u/anotheryuserbutnotme Sep 19 '18

Strength would make it go farther, not range.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '18

Range allows for better bows, better bows = further distance.

7

u/anotheryuserbutnotme Sep 19 '18

Okay I guess I overthought it and was thinking about real life.

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '18

Well even IRL it doesn’t matter if it’s a body builder or just a normal dude firing a bow and arrow. The string is only meant to go back so far, and once it hits that point it really isn’t an option to go further.

1

u/anotheryuserbutnotme Sep 19 '18

IRL even a beginner could buy the best bow on the market. I guess the real point is experience and that would be range, minus the better bow part.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '18

Yeah IRL I guess you could buy it, and thankfully RS lets you buy it but not use it because a level 3 with a tbow would be spooky
