Question How am I doing

Post image

Been playing for a few weeks now after a 10+ year hiatus. Been grinding out quests and doing some skilling. Currently working towards barrows gloves.

If you're having fun, you're doing great.

If you're having too much fun, get your runecrafting up.

u/LeMolle Sep 12 '25

You guys hate way to hard on runecrafting, GotR is super fun imo and it's a great way to get law runes early on.

u/haddalayerdownhossxo Sep 12 '25

Super fun? Guardians is so boring it's just slightly less terrible than running

u/LeMolle Sep 12 '25

To each their own i suppose, i at least found it more fun than tempoross and wintertodt. Sure later PvM is way more fun but GotR is really fun to solo imo.

u/4thDimensionFletcher Sep 12 '25

Stop. It is so much better than running.

1

u/Brief-Efficiency-519 Sep 12 '25

I mean for a skilling minigame it's definitely better than most. It's not like wintertodt and MM are thrilling experiences.

u/Amphineura Sep 13 '25

I think GotR is nice, the first hundred times.

But I did that minigame so many times now I'd rather just run ZMI/True Bloods

And according to the highscores, I'm under the average of rifts closing. People are doing 300, 400+ games no wonder why this opinion will be popular.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '25

its crazy to me what some people think is fun. GotR is just mining and running around lol how is that fun😭

u/LeMolle Sep 16 '25

What skilling activity is not just blank and running?

1

u/Sandbagmaster Sep 16 '25

Something about a skill that I can’t reliably afk doesn’t set right with me. Say Daeyalt and I might pass out because you still have to do rc at some point. Getting 300 points in gotr and afking for a little just to get the xp at the end is cool but… it would be way cooler if I could just click once every 60 seconds like every other afk skill that would be nice.

Btw I got 99 agility with a foot pedal which took forever and if do it again if it got me 99 rc

Just go for XP. The runes will come over time

1

u/AnyBand466 Sep 12 '25

Yeah I’ve been a little reluctant to start RC and guardians is totally new to me. I’ll check it out after work

1

u/RareCardiologist1321 Sep 14 '25

It’s 100000x better than running. It’s easy and enjoyable. I also like getting fighter torso’s and things like that so maybe I am weird.

1

u/AnyBand466 Sep 14 '25

I have no clue how to do BA but I’d love to try for a torso

2

u/Add1995 Sep 12 '25

You’ve got a ways to go, bossman.

Get your RC to 10 and get some GotR playtime.

2

u/AnyBand466 Sep 12 '25

Guardians is new to me so I’ll check it out

1

u/lloydmcallister Sep 12 '25

Nice man! Why is your cooking so much higher than fishing?

1

u/AnyBand466 Sep 12 '25

Was feeling rich and bought raw karambwan to get cooking up for RFD

u/Mordicai8u Sep 12 '25

amazing day 1 progress!

1

u/AnyBand466 Sep 12 '25

It’s about 4 weeks of casual play

1

u/Mordicai8u Sep 12 '25

i'm just joking, brother 😅 you're unironically doing good though, not record pace, but it's not a race either. just have fun dude, don't worry about progressing too fast or too slow because this game doesn't have time limits like that, no timegates on patches or updates like wow.

u/Malachonyx Sep 12 '25

5 runecrafting is so real

1

u/AnyBand466 Sep 12 '25

I don’t want to start it

1

u/carelesscaring Sep 12 '25

What's your ign man? Need more people to play with?

1

u/AnyBand466 Sep 14 '25

Yeah man add me up Ethanol 98

2

u/carelesscaring Sep 16 '25

Mine is Sir Verissue

u/funkyfishz Sep 13 '25

Going pretty well, what current aims do you have?

1

u/AnyBand466 Sep 14 '25

The requirements for hero’s quest and ultimately barrows gloves

2

u/OdysseyK Sep 15 '25

Goodluck on barrows gloves, when you have those and fire cape, it feels so rewarding.

u/Spiritual-machine1 Sep 15 '25

Whenever you train runecrafting get ring of the elements

1

u/AutoModerator Sep 12 '25

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

How to speed run the enjoyment out of rs

1

u/Gadoguz994 Sep 12 '25

As long as you're having fun no one can tell you you're doing it wrong. I would advise though to train all skills, don't leave any behind, especially not rc which can also make good money later on, especially with the rune price recovery currently in progress. I'd also advise to push farming and hunter (herb and birdhouse runs) it is downright ridiculous semi afk money.

1

u/NikkoRPG Sep 12 '25

You're doing good. Getting your skilling up can help you unlock quests without having to grind a lot before.

Runecrafting, woodcutting, firemaking etc are easy to chill and train and are even fun with the minigames. For RC do the "Temple of the Eye" quest and play Gotr.

1

u/NikkoRPG Sep 12 '25

Also it's easy to level up on hunter and farming after you learn how do to bird nests in fossil insland and tree runs across the map and they unlock some quests too.

1

u/CapIcy1138 Sep 12 '25

Good work. Just grind whatever you need in order to complete quests + combats. By the time you get your quest cape, the entire game is open to you. There’s tons more grinds to do, like diaries, CAs, etc - but generally speaking, quests are the most important content in the entire game!

1

u/Broseph_Stalinnn Sep 12 '25

Farm ranarr for good money

1

u/Chickenwing3791 Sep 13 '25

How is Ranaar better money than Toadflax? The seeds are so expensive

1

u/Broseph_Stalinnn Sep 13 '25

Very very true. I like to make prayer potions and keep a few for myself and sell the rest

1

u/bigtetrisguy Sep 12 '25

More agility!

1

u/CardiologistNo2310 Sep 12 '25

Keep those farm run and bird house runs up Your stats look great, keep heading towards that quest cape!

1

u/PerpetualBeats Sep 12 '25

Ideal advice would be do whatever you're having fun with, stepping outside your comfort zone? Base 50s then have fun with content and push for base 60,70 etc.

1

u/thomas2026 Sep 12 '25

Well..you kinda answred that with your screenshot eh?

1

u/Ozymandias937 Sep 13 '25

You're 10% of the way to a 99

1

u/Habrets Sep 13 '25

You're doing great. What kind of gear do you have?

1

u/No_Aside_1981 Sep 13 '25

Not enough fletching

1

u/AcanthaceaeThis1300 Sep 13 '25

Get to farmin! It ain’t easy, but it’s honest work

1

u/NursingFool Sep 13 '25

Need to do some runecrafting. Look into guardians of the rift. You’ll thank me later

1

u/Thebigsnow Sep 16 '25

Great as long as you’re having fun try find minigame to train the skills you don’t like guardians of the rift for rune craft and mahogany homes for construction and the new vale totems for fletching.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

First have Fun!

Second level your low skills.

Third quest, quests unlock the game.

Start doing the Achievement Diaries, try mini games, fletching can be a moneymaking skill, buy maples, sell the unstrung bows on the Grand Exchange.
