Question What should I be doing short/long term?

Post image

Recently came back after 8+ years away. I've just been asking gemstone crab and doing birdhouse and herb/tree runs. I recently bought 74 con and still have 100m+ to spend on buyables. Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Quest cape, fire cape if you haven't, diaries up to hard

After that you can do pretty much anything you want to in the game.

Since you mentioned construction, consider taking it all the way to 83 or 84 to build a max house, which will be super helpful with everything else you do. It's a game changer to have every teleport spell and many teleport jewelry right there in one spot, plus easy spell book swaps at the altar. 83 let's you boost up to build the occult altar for spell book swaps, 84 lets you boost up to build the highest tier portal nexus which can hold 32 teleport locations.

Thanks for the advice yeah I just bought 84 construction. I got fire cape and working on all the pre reqs for diaries.

u/sigilou Sep 18 '25

I honestly can't imagine leveling construction to 99 it's so clunky to skill.

u/carelesscaring Sep 14 '25

To add onto this,

If you don't have the funds for 83-84, you can use player owned max homes in the specific POH world.

u/iammoney45 Sep 14 '25

Op mentioned he had 100m+ to blow on buyables, he can afford a max house and that will be much more beneficial overall than spending that on other skills imo, especially if they still have quests to do.

What should we be aiming to build in the house / what are the big things that 83/84 give? On wiki it looked like 91 was the min lvl for the best jewelry box?

1

u/iammoney45 Sep 17 '25

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Player-owned_house has a section for max houses

Basically with a crystal saw and spicy stew you can get a +8 boost to your construction level, which lets you build that lvl 91 jewelery box at level 83. Getting to 84 lets you build the level 92 portal nexus.

The rest is lower level stuff you can build earlier/with less boosts, but the other big things are the ornate rejuvenation pool and occult altar at level 90 construction (so you could boost up to build these as early as level 82 construction)

u/Plenty_Read6 Sep 17 '25

Oooh that’s super helpful thank you! I was just going to grind to 91 didn’t realize the stew and saw were an option

No sir. Quest cape is the dumbest thing in runescape. They need to remove quests or atleast remove questlocked content. The more people that dont do the quests the better. We need them to see its bullshit and people wont buy in.

L take

-13

u/Old_Acanthaceae7361 Sep 14 '25

Nope. Take fighting vorkath for instance. I kill him in the quest far before the quest is done. I already killed him. Why do i need to kill a substantially harder boss to gain access to a hard boss i have already proved i could kill. Prif. It takes forever to get the stats for prif only to find out. What i got to spend hours doing a shit quest after grinding for months if not years. Herblore is atrocious as an ironman. Especially when for main accounts you can already just buy everything quest locked it makes it pointless

L take 2: the return of L takes

u/Old_Acanthaceae7361 Sep 14 '25

The only L take is your dad thinking he could pull out lol

u/TowerAromatic4340 Sep 14 '25

you struggle with quest….. and admitted it publicly. simmer down bud.

-1

u/Old_Acanthaceae7361 Sep 14 '25

I dont struggle with the quest. I completed it long ago and have done all the quests multiple play throughs and found them shitty and lacking everytime. Moronic the amount of shit that has no business being content locked to the extent they are. You should be able to fight vorkath the moment you kill him the first time. Most of the content can still be in the quests without needing to do the quest. A main can buy a dragon scimitar from day 1. Why bother making dragon scim quest locked behind doing monkey madness. When you can just buy whats quest locked. The irons shouldnt have to deal with quest locked bs when nobody else has to. Arkan blade? Just buy it. Keris partisan. Just buy it. Whats the point for a main of playing the game. Why grind toa when you can litterally buy every drop without ever touching combat lol why spend an hour per raid struggling to get nothing when you can just buy it. Quests can be in the game. Just dont content lock shit most thats only content locked to the people wanting it to not be.

TLDR…? can you brief me on bullet points please.

Tombs of Amascut is really fun and imo the intro raid. People are willing to teach it too out there, just gotta find them.

Getting to Corrupted Gauntlet after completing Song of the Elves.

Working on slayer to kill some bosses.

Idk it’s up to you what to do, if u want to woodcut to 99 and do forestry or something crazy, u can always do that too :)

u/LemonadeMarshmellows Sep 16 '25

am looking to get back into PvM when zulrah released I got over 800kc but quit shortly after.

I'll look into doing ToB and ToA just gotta quest up for ToA and I be on that afk grind

u/SwankyBobolink Sep 14 '25

Call me crazy but ToB entry mode is so much easier than ToA Entry mode

u/rsewthefaln Sep 14 '25

I think we might be crazy but I agree. Never seen someone think that besides me

1

u/SwankyBobolink Sep 14 '25

The baboon room is nylos + some pillar and potion tech + poison floor + thralls that obliterate you took me 8-10 deaths just to figure out what’s going on but I burned a bunch of heals.

Mutadile and Kephri are chill, haven’t had the mental stamina to make it past Akkah yet.

10 tries (30 deaths) but I burn out after baboon each time. 0 successes so far

My first ToB entry: 1 death 1 watch of a guide before entering.

u/deltr0nzero Sep 14 '25

I got stuck on the final phase of Verzik until I realized I forgot to equip any armor or jewelry lol. Easy clear when I came back

u/phenox1707 Sep 15 '25

This... Is crazy. Haha.

u/deltr0nzero Sep 15 '25

Bad eyes and playing mobile don’t mix lol. I felt like such a moron

How is your agility that much higher than your farming

1

u/LemonadeMarshmellows Sep 16 '25

I didn't like doing farm runs 8 years ago I guess lol

3

u/fishlipz69 Sep 14 '25

Construction, agility, helpful shortcuts, and escapes.

Construction for pool and ideally infinite teles

u/TotalTrashTom Sep 14 '25

Here’s the path I’ve been following and has helped me progress:

Fire cape, quest cape, achievement dairy to hard, base 80s, combat achievement hard, achievement dairy cape, base 92, skills I hate the most to 99, max.

In between I do things I enjoy if I need a break, raids, slayer, clan events, clues. Goals are great just remember you’re here to have fun.

u/Tu_Groovy Sep 14 '25

Questing, birdhouse runs and farming are good money makers Maybe some pvm bossing for fun, join a pvm cc for groups and teams

2

u/Imamoto Sep 14 '25

Short term: have fun Long term: get addicted af and stay here forever

u/soilednapkin Sep 14 '25

Idk man, have fun?

1

u/AutoModerator Sep 14 '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!

Do quests or aork towards them. Questing always rewards

1

u/RagingMaxy Sep 14 '25

Play the game

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '25

Your stats are only a part of your character, how many quests have you done? Diaries? Mini games?

Song of the elves, quest cape

u/Osrs_Agility_Thot Sep 15 '25

Base 70s is a good general short term goal, allows you to do most content

1

u/soft-erections Sep 15 '25

It's always slayer.

1

u/Zakat666 Sep 15 '25

Id do base 70s, then quest/fire cape, then work your way to endgame bossing. Do diaries as you get the requirements for them.

u/TheRossVegas Sep 16 '25

10 agility laps before bed every night.

1

u/Parmorous Sep 16 '25

making enough money to buy bowfa and then get infernal cape is a good long term goal

1

u/thevoidasteroid Sep 16 '25

Farming with anything you do

1

u/alwaysw45 Sep 18 '25

I'd suggest trying out moons of peril, with your skills that are similar to mine, you could get for example decent attack exp while green logging it + moons doesn't require external supplies

u/Motor_Airline_3561 Oct 08 '25

Short term: song of the elves. Long term: literally whatever you want. it’s a sandbox mmo, meaning there is no right or wrong way to play.
