Anyone else enjoying OSRS leagues?
I went harvest, hotfoot, evil eye, butler, larcenist, and culling so far and I’m gonna go back for the clue one and maybe take the axe for t8
I did kandarin and kourend regions and planning on doing mory for 3rd
Did the mage water/air build but kinda messed it up so I need like 2-3 more pacts to echo boss to fix it
Regret butler kinda, but idk I go back to work tomorrow so it’ll be nice to log back in to a big xp drop. Evil eye has also been meh but I know itll be great once I actually start bossing
How about yall?
Where are people playing OSRS? Is the Steam version the only option?
I think most people play it through RuneLite, a third party client with a bunch of plugins you can enable. It's an option in the Jagex Launcher that you can download from the runescape website.
I’m on Linux and use Bolt Launcher through flatpak to play on RuneLite
There's a few options, Jagex has a launcher available on their website, but most people use RuneLite a third party approved for use by Jagex. RuneLite users just have to be careful to use the official download, there are lots of fake runelite sites with clients who will steal your account.
I've been playing it a lot - I'm an extremely casual osrs player, so my leagues character has already overtaken my main in most stats. I also managed to defeat the frost boss thing under the twilight temple; kinda notable for me because I'd never fought a boss with actual mechanics before (Elvarg was basically the only big one I'd done prior).
I've mostly just been doing clue scrolls, because I found out that if you don't bother unlocking more regions they all point to the same couple places. And it's fun being able to walk around decked out in gear I'd never get in the actual game (my first one had ranger boots for example)
You did amox???? I need to do that but my build is kinda messed up so Im scared still haha what were your stats/build?
Yep! I followed the wiki guide for fighting her to the letter, kept protect from magic up at all times and went in with an inventory full of swordfish and prayer potions. Nearly ran out of food mainly because I was really bad at dodging the floor icicles, but managed to get through it.
I had ~70 ranged and defence, used a yew longbow and green dhide armour that I got from a clue scroll. And rune arrows that I bought from the Tal Teklan shop (I went for the starting relic that gives tons of money)
EDIT: Oh, and the aforementioned ranger boots!
I actually died to the earlier stage of the quest, the trial fight with all the cultists. But not to her at least!
ahh range build that makes sense, ranged is so good everywhere. I went mage build and so its taking me a bit longer to get to bossing bc it seems just about everything is strong to mage
I did 75 easy clues already. With Larcenist you can pickpocket 100 clues from wealthy citizen, go stand at Aldarin bank, pull clue and if it's not your position you just re-pull - clues progress do persists across clues in league. I did it with only Karamja unlocked and I got exactly 20 boxes from 100 easy clues.
Ive decided to go for a shadow tank build.
I finished the fight caves to get the Obsidian armor, and took Desert as my first area for ancients. Im going to get the earth spell pacts which should give my shadow spells a guaranteed minimum hit as well as boosting my defence, and then pair that with the thorns pact. Im hoping the flat consistent damage will compensate for my lack of skill.
For relics the best one so far has been Transmutation. Really useful for dealing with the item availability constraints.
Im targeting Kandarin as my next region, I want to try and get that echo trident weapon.
Haven't heard of that one before, that sounds awesome!
Has mage been slow for you early game? I'm kinda struggling but I might just be a chicken
Yes, starting mage was difficult due to the lack of gear.
Getting transmutation helped alot because just upgrading a bunch of runes to high tier let me autolevel to 99 while doing other stuff.
How I got through the fight caves was by using the thorns pact with the Air and Water rune pacts. The rune perks meant that casting water surge gives both hp and prayer recovery, and the thorns deal pretty consistent damage over time, so it worked really well for that particular challenge.
However outside of that Ive been avoiding any difficult combat until I get enough pacts to unlock the end of the skill tree. Ive just been meleeing in Obsidian gear otherwise.
Funny that you post this, I've been contemplating starting OSRS (never touched it, barely any clue what to expect) over the last few days. I like the idea of a long-term progress game that I can (partly) play while watching a show or chilling at the PC. The temp seasons are another factor that I probably find fun, if the schedule lines up well :) Seems like a good thing as a palate cleanser.
I just have to figure out if I can motivate myself long-term since the goals are pretty much self-defined...
Once you start on 99 WC you can never go back. It’s a fun game if you like grindy, old school games.
I'm having fun. I got the 4th region unlocked even before I unlocked my 3rd (which is the first free choice) following Faelkrane's guide.
I haven't play OSRS for quite a while. After I got quest cape in 2018 I switched to RS3 and got a quest cape in 2019. I was surprised how fun skilling in RS3 was, compared to OSRS. But the game is showing its age, and EoC doesn't get much better. Still, free death week and PvM hub make it much more fun to experiment compared to OSRS where I am mostly a skiller, which make me poor as my job has been replaced by automations (and noted drops) for years.
This time I'm playing on HDOS, another lesser-known but legal client. Unlike RuneLite, it is completely closed source and has less plugins. (RuneLite is not completely open source either - Jagex made all the open source client illegal). It tries to adapt RuneScape HD client and graphical style to OSRS, and playing it feel like this is exactly what I wanted OSRS to be. If you want to try HDOS it is on Bolt launcher, or you have to install it manually then it will show up on Jagex Launcher.
Anyway back on to league. I'm playing water mage, and once I got that overheal I don't know why but that makes me able to face tank Huey easily. Still, I did tried the fight caves and with how I am unfamiliar with the models on HDOS I got the prayer swapped at Jad and died in two hits after 80 mins of effort. Maybe I'll try after I get the faster attack speed.
