These Are Runescape's Biggest Noob Traps [OSRS] 

While I do love farming engagement, It seems like some of you missed the point of the graceful section. It's better to focus on agility xp, than graceful. It's not worth farming out graceful at terrible xp rates once you have unlocked something better. Notably, the wilderness course at 47 which is roughly 4x the xp of canifis.

Dont play this game until you maxed

"Why not wait with Graceful for 20 more levels?" >Hard Kandarin My guy.

Getting graceful is so easy and so nice to have as early as possible. Hard diary has a lot of requirements and you can use all those marks on Stam potions at that point.

Why you gotta come for me like that? “Scared of raids because you actually have to talk to people”😅

The Seers agility method is pretty darn misleading in this, considering you wouldn't have the stats capable of doing Hard diary, it'd just be much easier to farm it out in Canny and using that gear to do quests than to have to go through a bunch of quests without it before getting to the stage of the account that is capable of doing hard diary.

Questing without graceful in the eqrly game is a very long walk

I got my graceful by lvl 56, don't even remember because I watched breaking bad

Quick note on void: Medium CAs also get you 7 points per veteran game. This tier is more realistic for people actually on the void grind, especially irons (btw)

Wtf, my guy got a haircut mid video, efficient

I completely disagree with the don’t camp Canfis for graceful. First this is assuming you have Seers hard diary done which is a big if. Second. This doesn’t account for time/ gp you save by getting graceful early to wear for questing. I did canifus rooftop until I got graceful then focused on questing for awhile before training agility again

Getting graceful and agility early is probably one of the best starts to any account. You get better run energy with the higher levels, and you also get a set of gear that is an amazing substitute for your lack of energy/stam potions, that you can wear around the game while you spend 80% of your time running around early game anyway.

Video immediately outdated on release, crazy

Sins of the father before graceful seems…silly

Repeatedly doing the Canifis course got me to full graceful like 10 laps before 60 agility. Also a hard diary is a pretty high requirement.

"don't use guthans just bring food or use blood spells " Me: afks slayer for ever while I play other games on the side don't ever check my character .

"The biggest noob trap is playing Runescape in the summer months." 😂👍 I wish I had taken that wisdom to heart as a teenager. I wasted too many summers.

Those marks rate for the seer course are with the diary. That's a tough sell for a new account. Canifis graceful isn't at all a waste of time though I would also consider / advise doing barb fishing to fairly high levels just to reduce failure rate before heading over to the rooftops.

I wouldnt call getting graceful early a noob trap, theres plenty of quests youll be thankful you have it for with the bonus run restore. Irons dont have access to staminas like regular players do. 40-56 does not take that long on rooftops and with the update today giving a bit more exp for rooftops specifically i dunno why youd genuinely suggest they level by doing barb fishing over just getting it

Also as a 99 farmer Chad (95 combat lmao) I only really concentrate one patch of herbs, at the farmers guild, where I teleport often as my "hub" the rest of the patches are a "if I have time" thing and I usually go around planting some herbs and if I am around the area or feel like it I grab them all for a few 100K..

This guy makes me think if "Graham Stephan" became a runescape mentor.

7:17 ABSOLUTE best advice for new players. You don't need that much money, AND you can't make that much money efficiently anyways. Just work on training, questing, building your gameplay skills, and unlocking untradeables. Much better than acting like RS is a job and you just have to clock in, spend X hours doing the "most efficient" money maker, to afford something. If you play like that, you'll quit, because it isn't fun to force yourself to play like that.

Having a max fire cape and putting this video out is insane lol

My one thing is "have fun" so many players have lost the plot man. Everyone is so caught up in tick perfect this and use all the plug ins to turn it into a tile clicking simulator. People! This game is a fantasy RPG and one of the best one's! It's charming, witty, funny. You're not some god selected hero destined to save the world, you're just an adventurer who wants cool stuff and cool powers. Don't be afraid to get into that. Thats the best part of the game and you can enjoy it at any level. Click the funny dialogue options, be a jerk to NPCs, have fun with it. Finally, stop forcing your tick perfect, no time waste BS on the people who can still have fun. People keep telling me I'm playing "wrong" because I'm not afking at crabs and I kill everything with knives, even when the mob is weak to magic. I don't care, I'm having a blast, my adventurer solves every problem by throwing knives, that's the role I am playing and I'm loving it, that shouldn't bother you lol. But boy have I made people mad on reddit over this

Just wanted to show I enjoy your videos. Don't even need half the tips as ive been playing for time but still enjoy watching. Keep up the good content.

Do you have any idea if there is a plug-in that helps with tracking daily tasks or gives arrows like a Quest Helper would to complete those dailys?

I don't think that Graceful in low level is a noob trap. You'll train agility anyway and the best way in low-mid levels to train it is rooftop course anyway. Yes, you'll change to seers village at lvl 60+ but NOT to Sepulchure. For Sepulture you need to complete quest Sins of the Father and I don't think that true noob won't have a full graceful at the moment when he will be able to complete this (in matter of skills and equipment)

I learned to just ride woodcutting and cooking crafts into several tens of thousands of common runes for skilling magic into the varrock teleport as I play the game. Very useful, well pointed video here early game gold farming is a totally misread thing.

I disagree with not doing graceful early. Sure, the exp won't be as good as it would if you waited for 60, but it's not like the quests are gonna give you xp faster than you could get by just grinding it out. Plus, graceful makes doing early quests SO much more bearable.

The time value point you made is probably one of the most important. Everyone goes through this it’s almost natural for people to wanna stack gp but there’s a point where you have to just start buying stuff because it’s a waste of time to get the supplies

Honestly the best way to start account is to pick the account type, then google a speedrunning google doc, do the outline and then you play as you wish on which ever account type , its setup so you could (at 8hrsa day) get quest cape in a month

Watched a few of your videos but the “smoke a joint and space bar your way through the quests” line got me to sub

I didn’t touch pest control until i had medium combat diary and was lvl 101, it was a lot faster getting elite void. Great video my dude!

Think the biggest tip I gave my friend was don’t worry about mid maxing everything. Bis gear doesn’t matter much vs practice and leveling. Get items that compliment every style like the fury, combat bracket, barrows gloves, ligh bear. Minimize swaps and upgrade your gear once you start doing things like raids, vorkath and so on. Skilling for you gear will take a painfully long time. Vs rocking a 30m set and raiding.

Just started a group ironman with a buddy. This video was awesome. I'm trying to not get burned out again. I'm coming back from a year long break after being in a sweaty clan that kinda ruined the game for me. This time around, I'm trying to play efficient, but not at the expense of fun. I guess I'm trying to intelligently enjoy the game, but not over stress being super efficient. I actually read quest dialogue last night instead of spacebar the whole way. Idk if you already have a video for it, but what advice to you have for new group irons?

I remember when this game was about looking cool in Varrock with my new Rune Platebody

Gz on 10k

I got graceful as soon as possible at Canifis. I used mobile whenever I had some free time. It has helped me out a ton. I use it constantly for questing and herb runs etc. Waiting for that long is pointless.

i dont agree with the first one as a iron rushing graceful is actually one of the best things u can do to start for one most agility requirements are done u also finish around 60 which is amazing to then start about 200k gp per hour at a really low level at desert pyramid and also helps since u will still need to do most quests and wont have energy pots i start my iron man with mills because of agility grind and u will easily hit 70 plus without seers while making huge profit

Great videos bro keep it up 👍

do you think soulreaper axe is gonna be actually useful after the rebalancing?(i know its off topic XD)

quest helper also helps with the diaries which is amazing

Void is essentially max strength, its early game gear bro all then way to max

I grinded out full graceful on Cani and then my account was hacked because I was dumb, and they sold the graceful back for packs when they liquidated my account. So now Im grinding it again. Dont be me. Set up two factor authentication.

This would make a lot of sense if it didn’t take almost equally as much time if not more completing the diaries to get graceful/void faster. Other than that, I agree. Having graceful at 57 agility definitely helps me fly through quests, so I’ll take that. Void could be useful for jad, but I probably will wait to do the diary for that since I can just use blessed d’hide instead.

I've been using my graceful for months...much longer than a weekend of grinding when 99 is probably my last agility. Agree to disagree tho bud

The real truth about graceful is that you can afk it and don’t have to spend the full time running circles if you don’t want to. Marks of Grace can only spawn once every 3 minutes and after that every time you begin a lap they will have a chance to spawn. Canifis has the highest spawn chance on a new lap, being 2/3 chance for a mark to spawn. So you can literally just have a mark spawn, get it, wait 3 minutes at the end of the course and then start a new lap after the 3 minutes are up until another spawns. There is no need to make it more painful than that.

Great video!

You got my sub at “turn that brain off, smoke a joint, and go do your quests”

I have to say, void and not elite is worth it in the early game, because its really good low level armour for pretty much free Edited part I used reg void, up untill I got my first 80m and don't regret it one bit. Prayer bonus+attack stats omg so usefull

I will say, healing with guthans is useful in 2 occasions, AFK slayer and god wars dungeon if you're tanking. AFK slayer is good because while it is slower, you don't have to bring supplies and you're AFK anyways, and it's great in godwars dungeon for tanking because you are gonna most likely use bones to peaches. Also healing with guthans is cheaper than blood spells

Biggest noob trap upgrades are any of the cerb boots, and armadyl or bandos chestplate. Just use d'hides or torso+ obby/tassets. I also think a lot of the zenyte jewerly is a trap just get anguish suffering and tormented. Lots of upgrades have a mid lv varient that is really good and cheep vs its bis. Odium ward vs twisted buckler for example. Also the glove upgrades for bis are super late game. tormented bracelet and barrows gloves is all you need. Rapier, blade of Sally and inq mace are overrated. Dragon claws and voidwaker are nice in some situations, but a crystal halberd/dragon hally or abyssal dagger are good cheep fill ins. Now lets flip it. Huge upgrades are Dragon warhammer, Bandos godsword, bowfa and crystal, fury, Guardian/echo boots, Saradomin godsword , tormented bracelet, brimstone ring, Accursed scepter, bandos tassets, light bearer. Elder maul if they give it a spec. Dragon hunter crossbow before bowfa for cox, brutal blacks and vorkath if your grinding those. Dual macuahuite is a low key great crush weapon and cheep as fk atm. abby dagger for stab is solid and a good spec weapon. I personly like imbued archers and berserker ring if you can afford it with lightbearer Dinh's bulawark and the urserang chainmade are good if you like wildy content, webweaver is slightly over rated.

Your guides and videos have helped me alot for being a new comer. Never been part of a clan s othat would be super cool to join!

Baited and immediately addressed. Nicely done! Got my sub.

1:10 with the hard kandarian diary. yeah buddy...

I've been living off bonds on OSRS since they were released basically and haven't started regretting it until very very recently now that they're over 10m. All the dailies mentioned can generally be enough to make that every two weeks for about a fifth of the time. Definitely spent way too much money on bonds but it never really bothered me.

The Amethyst portion not being worth the time is very debatable now, considering the massive buffs it and the mining gloves got with the update this week. True the price has dropped slightly, but with getting 3 or more from each node now, it requires far less clicking. Each one is still roughly 3800gp, and making them into dart tips makes even more. You can essentially click one, and make a minimum of just over 11k without needing to click again.

I really like the last point. I have loved RuneScape since I was a kid in 2005, but I know something is wrong in my life if I’m playing too much RuneScape. It’s great, but there’s a lot of life out there too

I think I only disagree with one point. When it comes to training agility it is such a boon to have as soon as possible and by the time you hit 54-57 agility using the Canifis course you will have enough marks to get the full set. It is the best course to use basically until 60. The time gap between low level agility and the Hard Kandarin diary is massive, for any account but especially for irons so it is better to have the graceful and not wait, it will be helpful and likely the only thing you wear running around Gielinor.

What I like to do is do my farm runs with kwuarm herbs in all but 1 patch and limp roots and the last patch as toadflax. I do a birdhouse run after then I crush them and I make Super Strength potions and Saradomin Brews. Not only do I get good Herblore experience, I also make more money than if I were to sell the herbs, limp roots, and birdhouses individually

As someone who did 40ish - 80 it's not worth it. The new Hunter Rumour gives ironman bird nests. If you stick to farming guild contracts you get better rewards with the same engagement time.

Don't start questing until you've maxed agility, but only run the gnome agility course.

Ive just bought my first membership i been doing alot of stuff in this video so im glad came up man I almost burnt myself out 😂

I subbed at "smoke a joint or something" You got me

Here's the thing about paying for runescape instead of buying bonds: Everything you said makes sense and is totally correct. It is not worth my time spending 10 hours just to earn the money required to play the game. That being said I don't see the difference between spending real money on a bond instead of in game currency, and buying bonds to sell for extra in game currency. Paying real money for membership is essentially just buying gold but in moderation. I can't convince myself that it's reasonable to spend real money on a bond for this reason but then again, I have been in this bond loop for years now.

This guy knows best ways to play def smoke a joint most times while playing

The graceful you wind up wanting to train agility anyway at a low level since then you can run around for your questing without it costing tons of stamina potions so I disagree there, it was definitely worth doing first. And you DEFINITELY can't do the hard combat tasks as a "noob", I only just finished them recently and it took mastering dozens of really difficult bosses like the DT2 ones to finally get the points. Easy or medium maybe, since those also reward void point improvements.

canafis gives you more grace per hour than even hard seers diary, also elite void for range isnt that bad, tis also BIS for chinning. though ur right its a 6 hour grind and u probably dont even use it I dont think its BIS in tob

You look like if a member of the Hitler Youth won a 3 year vacation to the Bahamas. Amazing video, keep up the good work.

Lol, when I played OSRS I must have been the only lv 100+ without full graceful. I had 2 pieces, boots of lightness and spotted cape. Never once did I think that I needed to finish the set off.

Excellent guide Siraah

Herb runs are really a big thing. I really reccomend doing them. Even at lvl 118 combat I still do my herb runs. I have all patches except the one from Harmony Island whose requirement is insane (dunno why Jagex is not lowering it to hard Morytania diary) and I make 300-400K profit in a herb run.

Smoke a joint or some… as im smokin a joint lmfaooo this is one of the reasons why im subbed🤣

One thing I made mistakes with was avoiding skilling items early on (1mil for dragon harpoon, dragon pick type things). Avoided them because of the cost. But the earlier you get them the better return value from faster gathering and higher levels. Much more useful purchase than spending a few mil on other minor upgrades Another is not recognising good hybrid gears. Blessed D Hide is amazingly useful both ranged and melee. Amulet of fury really useful. Brimstone ring was really useful even though most regard it as rubbish except magic. Being that its defence and all attacks makes it a decent value early to mid item, than buying and imbuing 3 others. Graceful I pushed for but holy gods rooftops are boring. I play on mobile so hard to watch something to alleviate the boredom and 15+ hours it takes for graceful sucks. I found just doing a few laps here and there and only really grinded for chest and legs originally at canifis. Boots of lightness filled my boots slot and you can get spottier cape or some gloves for those slots too as a budger version to begin. Slowly working myself to full graceful and using alot of lamps on agility because I wanted 70 for SotE and quest cape. Just hit 70 agility now after Sins of the father quest and I used 3x exp hits on agility. 15marks short of graceful now as I predominantly did seers from 60 onwards. Nice set but 15 hours is alot of time to recoup from the weight reduction and run energy replenishment. Definitely don't advise canifis unless able to do it afk or really low engagement.

to get money just to dragon slayer 2 and spam vorkath with ruby bolts and dragon bolts. the rune crossbow is more than enough to get fast times. plus if you dont get void armor you use black dragon hide and that gives you all the tankiness you need to use less food but at the cost of speed.

I'm glad I found your channel, down to earth and good content. Keep it up :)

The meta for graceful in canifis is to be so inefficient that you get marks way before level 60 agility.

It tastes to lvl 58 agility to get full graceful you get all the marks of grace before you can even do the seers agility course ;)

Wish I saw this video before wasting my whole weekend grinding for Graceful...

Inferno nearly fucking killed me, but after getting the cape at 51 attempts/4th zuk (bowfa), I genuinely think I can take on anything in this game

Great vid! maybe ill be less antisocial and get you to drag me around raids one day LOL

Other noob traps: Venator Ring, Armadyl ranged armor, and Arcane Spirit Shield.

I just grinded an entire day of canafis.. i was 54 at the start of it, made about 120 graces, ah well. Atleast I enjoyed it😁

Any man that says Suquah's are a good task, take their information with a grain of salt.

the canifis course is not that bad, and getting graceful helps with the quests you recomend doing. also its not like the marks u get at seers are worthless either.

Does this list change if you are a UIM or HIM

Ive been at Canafis for a bit, might have to move on 😅

I AFK magic logs while working from home because I like it though, still 50 mill gp without actually doing much.

the marks of grace into crystals for herb training

I was getting around 17 marks per hour in canifis I feel, and wiki lists it as 16-18.

I love how people say you need your quest cape nowadays..... thats a whole damn desert treasure 2

You only need graceful if you want to get herbiboar high score. Literally tele everywhere.

I pushed to 75 agility right off so I could use a ton of short cuts lol

do you have this same video but for ironmen?

Brimstone ring is good for all classes and a must in any kit

Funny enough, I was able to get my full Graceful at 58 and it has saved so much time. Now the 72 grind starts. Edit: also being a GIM gave me a reason to

never ever ever sell your toad flax if you dont want to spend mils and mils on herblore. i am keeping all of my sara brews so i can do future bossing. trust bro its going to be super worth

Guthans is dirt cheap lol definitely not an overrated buy
