The Bot Farm I Never Caught 

Imagine someone peeking at their bot screen and seeing SirPugger looming in the distance. The Chris Hansen of botting.

If there was actually a bug with bonds Jagex would fly engineers to the HQ at 3am on a sunday.

Plot twist, sir pugger is one of the biggest botters in OSRS and he just uses this channel as a facade to keep his business undercover

I dont believe the bond bug is actually a bug, this happened to me, if you buy a bond on the GE or get given one, it'll use bonds in your bond pouch before the one in your invent, I did this same thing thinking I got unlimited bonds but actually it used the 5 I had in my bond pouch from months prior when I won them at a clan comp haha

The bond situation uses any bonds you have in your bond pouch before using the last one in your inventory. So that player would've had two in the bond pouch which were used, causing the third redeem to take the one in the inventory.

Sirpugger, check out the bots north of barbarian village on f2p, they keep the woods empty and they have serial number looking names, they're woodcutting every log and keep the forest cut clean, and then they run to the ruins of camdozal and mine clay

I think the 70+ fighting stats bots might also be starter acounts . So many sites sell 70+ accounts for people that just can't be bothered to level .

Bot farms: Jagex turns nose Player getting 60 - 69 hunter: Jagex ban hammer

was really hoping you checked out the bots thieving the area outside the hallowed sepulchre. lots of accounts with 100-200m xp found there that have somehow not been banned yet.

should check out rev imps and goblins, they have bots that prayer switch and trash talk when they die lol

Been noticing a ton of bots at guardian of the rift. Most around 80-90 rc with about 50s in mining and crafting and absolutely nothing else. Most don’t even use the robes. The biggest giveaway is that they all stand on the same tile before a round starts.

I remember doing blast mine on my Island only Iron and I saw a bot doing it, so I started setting off dynamite to try and KO them. I got really close to killing one of them, but it hopped so that's probably why there programmed to hop straight away.

There is another huge bot farm run but 1 single person. Every world have 2-3 bots to not get noticed. They use house teleport tabs with fairy ring. It works like : Tab to House - > Teleport to Karamja by POH Ring -> Craft Natures -> Ethernal to Edge Bank every world have 2-3 bots. many of them are 99+ RC

A ton of priff thieving bots that log off when they see other players. Was thieving elves the other day with loads of bots logging in 1 sec before logging off again. Presumably because it spotted me and logged out again. Their stats were all the requirements for Sote.

Concerning the bond problem, yes there is a big bond bond problem at the moment. I had several bonds that simply did not work... I used them, and then they were gone, no membership. Talked to jagex, they admitted their was a problem and are working to fix it. I believe it's related to the server crash a while back.

sir pugger, i legit had that same issue happen with bonds. i used and it didnt consume so i thought it didnt go through and they it again and it have me a month of membership for for 1 bond, real weird and it shook me and i couldnt find anything about it but this video showed what happend to me. somthing jagex need toto see and fix. love the vid bud.

There's bots at the GE that's just there to pick up dropped loot. They have a like 5k limit for them to pick up the loot. You can't beat them to the loot if you didn't know it was being dropped.

Hey, thought I would let you know. I keep seeing level 15s on different worlds filling up water at the varrock fountain right besides the smith (Horvick). They all have same builds - a few combat stats and high woodcutting.

The bond dupe happened to me before, used it twice and hopped so had 28 days membership. what happened next is when I claimed a bond again when my members ran out it didn't give me any. So yes it dupes the bond but your account is essentially in membership debt. Any bonds duped will be consumed by future bond usage.

Ah, that gnome restaurant bot guy was the loser ruining my money maker

the thing with the bonds is that the game prioritizes bonds in your bond pouch instead of the ones in your inventory. I stumbled upon this once and tried to exploit it, using 30+ bonds from my bond pouch.

Sir Pugger, as much as we value your work against high end member boss bot farms, I for one would really like to see you try and take down some of the more insidious bots that are so prevalent they seem to basically be accepted. For example there is constantly bots mining Iron at the South East Varrock mine. Its one of the best sources of Iron for Free to Play accounts and its been rendered essentially unusable due to the sheer volume of bots using it. At best you might be able to compete with and out-mine a bot for it but that can be stressful and requires more attention. Do F2P users not deserve a stress free semi-afk mining experience? The same can be said of most low level free to play grind zone like the Oak Trees by the West Varrock bank.

Trolls definitely will say they have "retired farms". I wouldn't believe anything without proof from a random discord message

I think there is another botfarm in the West Lumby mining pit mining coal. I mine mith and world hop and every world has the same level bots (level 15) in some type of purple attire and all with the same name format: (Example: "30 Cool 1073" or "31 Save 1648")

I've had the bond one with No bonds in the pouch. I sent a bug report to Jamflex but still got to keep the 42 days I got for free.

I'm not using a bot but I used to use monks to train my defence-only pure. 1 atk, 1 str, 75 defence. The idea I had with it was to get full maxed defence gear + 99 eventually, but I wanted to push the account to its absolute max. The endgame plan was to get a fire cape and turn it into a pker that used DFS to kill people, but DFS was nerfed in the wild. I've seen a lot of people doing the same account build in most f2p worlds. They might be botting but I don't see the appeal of a tank only account anymore.

if you have bonds in your pouch and use one in your invy , it takes the pouched bonds before the ones in the invy , so if you forgot you had bonds stashed and bought one to use , you may get this "bug"

I've found a new kind of bot farm. They pickpocket the elf in the building south of of the house portal in priff. If any player is detected near them, they will log/hop worlds until they are alone. Considering the requirements to pickpocket these elves, its probably not a big farm.

I've seen a bot farm standing with nothing on at the dock of zulrah talking to the npc over and over again,

I'm seeing a lot of red spider egg bots in the Fothros dungeon again. Monks robes, 1 in all stats except for 45 prayer, and they make a run then log out at the ladder until the eggs respawn, probably to be detected less. I wonder if there's a way to break them or lure them somewhere dangerous

My account was hacked a couple years ago while I was on a break. When I got unbanned and logged in to my account I had 108 mining and 93 fire making. Apparently someone was blast mining botting for a long time, and I now never have to do any mining. 10/10 would recommend.

How am I only seeing this video now?! Can’t miss new sir pugger vids like this…

Dude, I’ve been reporting 5 bots a day at the blast mine for the weeks. I’m glad you found them.

That monkey bar nice cause you can auto click it 😂

"On the day of release" LMFAO! 😂

Mod ash just explained the bond dupe on twitter. its a sort of failsafe so that if you disconnect while redeeming you dont lose the bond and be out the price of the bond but can only redeem twice

Last time that I was in the hero's guild, there was lvl 112ish mining per account that rotated in and out for the rune rocks. The gp gained if u take their xp divided by xp/ore multiplied by the 6 or 7 I saw over 25 mins multiplied by gp/ore...I think is roughly 30bil

Found a bot farm in mort myre swamp, farming mushrooms you collect during natures spirit quest.

ayyyy fuck yeah, i sent you an email months ago about the monkey bar bots just going in and out of edgeville dungeon while i was going to afk cannon some moss giants... i swapped soooo many worlds and there were always like 10-20 of them running in and out of the wildy area there.. sadly i was too high lvl on my only account to attack any of them and see what they were getting up to.. glad you looked into it tbh, i thought the email was just ignored

I've noticed the blast mining one when I have a clue step there. Also go to Priff and look at the stats of theiving bots. I've found multiple who have 200m xp and still theiving.

My main was banned when i was not botting, but multilogging...

I duped a bond a few times, no idea how I did it. I used the bond just like you show in the click, but it remained. I could use it twice more, got the bond time from all 3 stacked up & world hopped, where it then vanished.

Lol I do the gnome restaurant money maker and I might have seen one of that guys bots. But probably not, most people you see have the average low level set up like I do, chronical, disgraceful set, and a staff for teleportation( if inexperienced). And now that the bots have stopped and there’s a boom in wilderness bossing, I’ll be making the most powerful flips in the game.

it's virtually impossible to level up mining on f2p right now, all iron ores are heavily botted

The blast mining bots have been around for at least 2 years. I got 99 mining in 2020 and they were really annoying, always coming and stealing my worlds. You could tell they were bots because at the time they would ignore the damage. I would break my pattern to try to kill them with the explosions but I only ever ended up killing 1 on my way to 99 mining.

the reason for the eternal glorys is it makes the script far simpler instead of having to make a script that goes to the ge to swap out glorys it just has to runecraft

I've been seeing bots on lunar isle runecrafting as well. Would love for you to look into it

My irl friend who i got to play gim with me on release of gim, i gave him a bond, and he activated it ~10 times, and kept it in bank, the bond deleted itself roughtly on the next day, but he kept all of the membership days, or at least 2 months, as he quitted afterwards.

not sure if you've done a video or not but there is so many bots pickpocketing vyres rn, evertime i went there, there was someone there and they instantly logged when my acc got in mini map range, figured you could check it out

I have seen a lot of "bots" on the lumbridge swaps just killing frogs and rats with the training gear but with stats like lvl 50!

Plot twist, jagex let’s certain bot farms exist because if they ban all the bot farms it would reduce their profits in the form of membership by a ton

Theres also been tons of chaos druid bots in taverly dungeon

Nothing like some runescape investigative journalism... great vid

I've experienced the bond situation. Mem ran out, bought a bond, used it and hopped. Bond was still there. I did not have any bonds in the pouch. Used it again and it was consumed. No idea what happened.

I totally use to autoclick that edgeville dungeon monkey bars! How I got agility for regicide lol. My buddy convinced me to play OSRS and to use Gary’s hood until we all got temp banned 4 years ago. Haven’t used it since cuz we all have too much progress in our accounts and getting them permed isn’t worth it at all

I discovered a bond dupe and can prove it, no extra bonds in pouch either. It was a unique situation due to an update that will likely never happen again. At the time I only had one bond, but I made it into 2. Dm for more info

Bot farm in the lower 300’s worlds at vyrewatch sentinels actually got the bot owner to speak, look for the name “pack yack (random numbers)” only seen them in usa worlds

I keep wondering, if almost every bot that has an agility requirement utilizes those edgeville wildy monkeybars (in order not to get reported in regular agility courses, I presume), why doesn’t jagex reduce the xp you get from this obstacle to like 1 xp? Yeah they would probably go to gnome agility or something like that but at least the chances of the farm getting spotted and reported increases? Idk if it would do something but I guess at least it’s worth a try

I not sure in OSRS, but in RS3 if you use a BOND in the inventory but you have others in the "pouch" the one in the pouch is consumed first, so it seems that it doubles at least in RS3

I wish they’d hire you for bot busting.

So I had a similar situation with a bond. I purchased 3 put one into my inventory while 2 more were in my "bond pouch".. I redeemed bond in my inventory and it didn't disappear.. redeemed it again nothing.. checked my bond pouch and there were no more bonds in there. Probably what that fella did.

My favorite Runetuber, looking forward to the next one!

$12.50 for a tv dinner? LOL

bots with interesting names picking up toad legs in swamp of tree gnome stronghold.

The bond thing happened to me once and I assumed it was a fluke. One bond worked twice and that was it (I got 28 days membership) and it was a few years ago

The bond isn’t duping, an it doesn’t give you multiple 14 day periods it’s just that if you already have membership it doesn’t disappear from inventory because it doesn’t actually get redeemed. Sorta like buying monthly. You can’t do it if your memberships already active. It’s happened to me an I was freaking out cause I couldn’t redeem it. The membership does not stack up

i think sir pugger should try and make a account, with bot like name, act like a bot and try and have the same play time and stats with same method of training, then report him self with the other bots that he has found, see if jagex banns his account even though its legit. Kind of want to see if jagex just lazy banns people that sir pugger finds :D

Notice how quick Jagex are to ban bots on F2P… and how slow when they’re on members worlds. It’s deliberate. Source: I work for a SaaS company that has Jagex as clients.

I just recovered my account that got hacked. And guess what, they used it for botting. Do you know what? I have 19k Zulrah kills now. Never did that boss. So it means it took Jagex a VERY long time to ban my account. Idk how it is even possible that Jagex couldn't have my accoutn botting sooner...

I was blast mining while this farm was going on. They were on like every world and logged when approach but if you stood at bank they'd keep going

i grinded that mini game for like 3 days to get one scarf on my ironman lol

currently, there's 10 fresh accounts per free to play world killing the lesser demon in the wizard's tower using magic. it's crazy, literally on every single f2p world

Can’t tell if she got really bad sideburns or if that’s just the hair from the top of her head falling to the side making it look like big side burns

Theres a bot farm in the security dungeon in the south-east corner of the second floor in members worlds all farming noted iron ore and grimy ranaars they all where the same armour and have amulet of glorys there on literaly every world

Botting is definitely a big issue. I feel like I have been seeing more and more bots lately. I saw a few Hallowed Sepelchre bots getting at least 500k xp per day and was surprised how far bots have come since the flax picking days. They were pretty easy to spot by just looking up their stats. I wish Jagex would find a better way to crack down on the botting and bring back the bot busting streams.

Guardians of the rift is a big bot spot. We're talking about 100k gp in runes every 10 games or so. Not much but 50-60 bots starts adding up

There's a bot farm, In the Lumbridge Castle. They run from the bank on the third level bank to the the second level. I'm pretty sure they're using the spinning wheel and banking again.

I recently bought some bonds. I used the membership and got 14 days and I still had the bond in my inventory. I instantly told jagex what happened

This shows that running programs and automated scripts is not as detectable as Jagex makes us believe.. Kinda sad how long these roaches can bot and ruin the game before they get banned..

Been playing my hardcore f2p ironman I often see mining bots by the champ guild bank in varrock, they mine clay then iron. Big bone bots in full mithril & an addy scim at hill giants maybe full rune with a chainbody, & combat training bots or big bone bots on giant frogs.

Sometimes I play with a few alts usually same world but people will be like omg its a bot farm cause 3/4 of my accs have similar names :D glad to see the community protecting us

Take a look into the priff elf thieving bots in almost every world. theres multiple accounts with 100m-200m xp and it just seems like jagex is doing nothing about them. the amount of money i make from thieving here alone scares me when i think of the massive bot farms that snatch enh crystal tele seeds here for days on end.

I've had that happened to me . About wen I used a bond it never used up I didn't spend it again I mentioned it to jadex I put it back in pouch and it was gone next day so I can confirm it happens as its happened to me 3 times last year

Man feel like bots have gotten a lot worse since ten plus years ago when I first started

This mans the Ops lmfao

I stopped playing like 6 Years ago after my account Collect Gems, got hacked, I had the biggest gem and unique stone collection in RuneScape, even featured on Sparc Mac's biggest collection videos with 14B+ gem inventories, don't even try..it's all gone, but with that said I love watching your videos and I get that spark of nostalgia everytime you upload, thank you!!

literal suicide bot farm: lumbridge swamp on all f2p worlds have bots with literally just training sword and shield spam killing anything in the swamp and more bots that are programmed to pick up the bones... its pretty funny seeing level 60-80s with training sword and shield dying to level 13 giant frogs...

I've had the bond dupe a couple times, it seems to only work with 1 bond at a time and both times I got 45 days mem before hopping. Wasn't trying to abuse it, but never saw any downsides of it

The bonds are getting used in his bond pouch lmao

Yo Pugger, I just found a deep wilderness bot farm that's tele grabbing noted wines of zamorack inside deep wildly dungeon. I saw at least one player in every group iron world and the surrounding worlds when sorted by activity. They're all below level 55 and have random names. Care to check this out?

bro f2p is completely rampant with bots at the moment, literally everywhere you expect, there's many, even on the german servers, check the worlds with the least amount of players and you'll find your men everywhere around varrok

I have seen these rc bots in canifis at ghoul graveyard just left from fairyring . I think i've seen their mule there too so good place to check

4:38 megly i see you

I wrote a script for this back in 2015… made over 3500m before most of my accounts got banned for running 14 hours per day.

I was getting the goggles for 1gp each after a dump... I used to buy items for 1gp all the times and I think its a good idea to find bot farms dumping their items.

The bond dupe - he may have had some in his bond pouch. It redeems them from there first

my GIM group had the bond dupe, we used one bond 3 times before it depleted, not sure why

Bots being up and running same day on a boss should tell you how much collusion is going on between jagex employees and people who run bot farms, or the employees runs bot farms themselves. Osrs is a irl money making cash cow if you know what you doing. I’m sure people have made millions of dollars botting and other shit like that. Jed was nothing compared to what’s most likely out there.

Yo swear this bond happened to me the other day. I thought I was crazy and just mistakenly bought 2 bonds. But now I think this is what happened

imagine watching pugger video and seeing your bot lmao
