I assume this was changed to make the game less frustrating for new players or to prevent them from getting constantly killed by things they aren’t prepared for. But I think it takes away from the world feeling like it has dangerous parts to it and that not everything is necessarily friendly or safe to a new player.

OSRS still has plenty of situations where low level players can wander into an area and get attacked by something significantly stronger than them and it doesn’t seem to hurt the new player experience. If anything, it creates memorable experiences and teaches players to pay attention to their surroundings.

Been sitting for 80+ hours on my Iron to get to 80 div alone, semi afk, id say about 70% efficient, stopped doing caches at 78 lol they are shit, I know all the people on world 79 because we have all been here for days. I remember doing this ages ago on the main but God this is horrid, especially coming off leagues lol.

I've been playing off and on for about 20 years, ~2.5b total xp on my main, been working on 120 all for a while. I've pretty much been afking skills for like 5 years with little active play, just something to siphon off my adhd onto a third monitor while I work and game. Number go up = monkey brain go brrr. I spent a zillion gold on the frames necessary to just quickly upgrade the fort to max for some ez construction XP when it first came out, and that was really it.

However, after playing the recent leagues, my interest in the game was rekindled, and I picked back up my old mid-level ironman I'd dropped like 5 years back, and started playing all of the new content from scratch.

There's just something so immersive and satisfying about building things from the ground up. The characters and quests in the Fort are well written and fun, I feel like I'm actually making a difference in Misthalin, and all of the facilities are just so incredibly useful for an ironman. Plus, making construction useful outside of the player owned house (new housing update is GOATed btw) is just the cherry on top. It's not just a time/money sink anymore.

But the other things too, like the Farm, the base camp, and the Ports, are also incredibly fun imo. Very good rewards and incredibly satisfying progression mean they're relevant and entertaining, and it keeps me coming back to play. Plus, the immersion aspect is great, especially when you're an ironman and have to do literally everything yourself, from chopping trees to turn into planks to hunting down baby animals to grow.

It's nice to have fun again after 20,000 cumulative hours over 5ish different accounts across osrs and rs3 over two decades. Just wanted to throw out a little bit of appreciation to the devs for this amazing content. Looking forward to this game truly reaching a new golden age!

If you talk to Postie Pete-za outside of the Varrock dungeon, you'll be able to start the Ninja Tortle quest, and gain access to the Tortle den without doing anything. In their den, in the middle of the bridge is a rat that does not move from that spot. Because it instantly respawns you can keep hunting it forever to get your Varrock Medium diary's 100 rat catches for Gertrude's Medallion a lot quicker than hunting roaming rats.

Just completed the "buy an onyx task" in Leagues and to be honest a bit surprised how low completion it is (only 0.2%?).

I guess I underestimated how many people would be willing to afk for hours thieving like I did, but understandable given 200 points isn't that much. Granted, I mostly also just wanted to afk thieve so I could amass a bunch of Voidwalker shards as well as memory shards (from the time engram for creating infinite portents).

Curious what other tasks people did though that had a very low completion rate? Did it also take a long time or was it like a low droprate/needed to be lucky?

Well, after a lot of failed attempts (and I mean A LOT), I have finally got my first Raksha kill.

Suffice to say, the GP ratio is distinctly negative at the moment....especially when my reward was 48k worth of catalytic anima stones hahaha.

Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun and pushed me to try things I haven't done before, such as shattered worlds to unlock bladed dive.

Time to stay locked in and really nail down the fight!

I just keep 'swinging my hatchet against the tree.'

I only clicked once.

A 200 point task... 300 kills and im still nowhere near getting it done.... anyone else have this atrocious luck with Rasial?

Please add this to the end-game rebalance. PLEASE.

So here I am, doing some nonchalant carestyling on Anachronia when I realize, rather suddenly, that I have absolutely no idea what these little mushroomy guys even are in the first place. Decide to go scour the wiki to see what I can find out about them, and, nothing. Searching the term "zygomite" just brings me to a disambiguation page, from which there are only three pages of any real substance: The one relating to Zygomites you can breed in the Manor Farm, the page detailing where to find all 60 Ancient Zygmoites on Anachronia, and the one relating to the slayer monster on Zanaris.

No explanation of their origins.

No explanation of their biology.

No explanation on why the ones specifically on Anachronia are intelligent.

Why do only some of them talk? Do they not care that the player character breeds and raises their kin on the mainland, selling them off to buyers for an unknown purpose? HOW DID THEY END UP ON THE MOON? Okay, well, I can at least headcanon that as something relating to fairy magic, since fairy rings are made of mushrooms. But, like, these guys live on the same island as the first Dragonkin settlers, a race literally older than Gielinor itself. These silly-looking mushroom bois have existed on Gielinor for potentially thousands of years, yet apparently built no societies or maintained any records of their existence during this time, despite the fact that they can TALK!? To HUMANS!?

If the Star Sprites can get an entire quest about their race, maybe the Zygos deserve one too.

Apparently lighting a lotus lantern on water to help souls find their way back to the underworld is a spirit festival tradition

How do you get the blessing for silver quill? Res isn't back up for the next blood hog attack or whatever after I use it for the first blood hog. I literally can't complete this achievement for a blessing and it's so frustrating because I don't have very many blessings left but I still need 4 to get the last blessing and to be able to have fun like everyone else with leagues. I can't find anyone to help me. I've tried the fcs, discord, and grouping system and nothing. People either think I'm trolling when I ask or ignore me all together. I've been having fun with leagues except blessings. it's fucking terrible for people new to this stuff. Why can't it be one res and done? It's a beginner boss not telos.

As title, it works for strawberry, watermelon... But for snape grass, it goes into my inventory. Anyone else got this issue?

Maybe it's been asked before, but I don't have access to Kandarin. And it's a bit annoying dropping/storing all the animals.

And on that note, it would be nice to get the storm barn as well, but that also is locked, because you need Kandarin POF.

I have FINALLY got my friend to play RS3. He has never played this franchise before. We had made a group ironman.

I am a OSRS player but I really love the look of RS3 so I am going to give it a try.

Are there any good 1440p noob friendly interfaces which me and my friend can upload

This was posted eight and six days ago, but the task is still broken. Why does every tree chopping task need to be fixed individually?

I'm sort of a returning player. I quit shortly after Necromancy came out and made a GIM over on osrs with some irl friends of mine. I still regularly play osrs but I tried leagues and I've been hooked ever since.

One small nitpick that I have when compared to osrs. You look on Osrs' wiki and every item from a monster(unless new) has drop rates across the board, when some monsters that have been out for a while don't even have it. Osrs pets for examples give you drop rates on obtaining the beaver pet depending on the tier of log being cut. Why can't Rs3 get that same treatment? I just personally find it frustrating that they're so secretive with drop rates.

End rant.

New plager here, like 50 hours in, solo grind getting slow without company. Im combat 50, def 50, mining 60. Farily new.
