Hello ELMO! Thanks for the comment and the awesome feedback buddy 😁😁😁 hoping to get a full set of guides for F2P done ASAP… 😅🤷🏻♂️ god knows when that will be though 😂 maybe Christmas 🎄 stay safe and thanks again 👍👍👍
2 things regarding Moss Giants: 1) I believe they are actually the fastest ranged XP all the way to 99 in f2p, since they have much lower defence than Ogress Warriors. I think people prefer to switch to Ogress Warriors at higher levels because they offer much more valuable drops and are more AFKable, even if the XP per hour is lower. 2) An alternative training location to the Varrock Sewers is Crandor. Five or so spawn on the southern end of the island and they can be easily safe-spotted using the nearby Adamant and Coal rocks. It's a bit trickier to get to, especially if you're low level since you have to run past lvl 82 Lesser Demons, but this also means that there's rarely anybody else training on them. It also isn't a multi-combat area, so other players can't steal your kills.
Hello TurmutHoer! Thanks for all the comments man, really good hints and tips! Apologies for my delay in replying, I've been struck down and spent the last few days recovering... Yeah point 1 is certainly true, Moss Giants are far easier to kill than Ogresses but I recommend switching between the two just to farm some good drops to make some money out of your training, and to mix things up a bit. 👍👍👍 I never twigged the fact its not a multi combat zone on Crandor, so yeah definitely a useful one for ironmen if they don't want there kills stealing! 😎😎
@@TheLumbridgeKnightbro goes to crandor you have to go to varrock down under where the deadly spiders are you can save spot the hill giants from there or you go to karamja for the demons
Hey man, I know this is an old comment but I tested this and you’re right. In a nutshell from my testing, Ranged lvl 75 the following results: Ogresses - Corsair Cove: 1k xp every 3 minutes (e.g. 20k per hour) Moss Giants - Varrock sewers: 1k xp every 2 minutes (e.g. 30k per hour) This means it’s 50% better xp wise, however, the loot table is indeed shit compared to that of Ogress. Added bonus with the loot pool drop of Ogress is that they drop all the runes to enchant lvl 3. Basically you can live out there, especially since there’s a bank not far away.
Pretty well put together as far as f2p goes,I do however have 2 issues/suggestions with it. 1 Accurate even pre 30 is lower overall dps than Rapid. Always use Rapid 2 Starting at range level 5 Iron arrows give +1 to your max hit over bronze arrows. Considering the costs bronze should never be used either.
Hello RawrTehehe! Thanks for the comment and the feedback 👍👍👍 Some great points! 🤦🏻♂️ totally missed the GE price points got too focussed on Ironmen 😅 showing my bias there… I’ll update the description to try to reflect what you’ve suggested 👍
@@M0odez that’s not true. Rapid fires 33% faster, so after your max hit is 4 with rapid even if it was 5 with accurate that’s only 25% more max hit than 4, so rapid is still better. So with only a few minutes of gameplay where the max hit goes from 1-2 or 2-3 before rapid is always better, mind as well just always use rapid.
Hello Payne! Yeah I know the feeling… I took a big hiatus from RuneScape in general only really got back into it because of covid and the lockdowns 😅😅😅 it’s changed so much since RS2… I feel old… 😂😂😂 Anyway thanks for the comment! Glad there was something new in there for you! 👍👍😁😁
Hello Anc1ntkn1ght! Thanks for the comment bud 👍👍👍 Glad the video was helpful! 😎 Appreciate the positive feedback man 👌👌👌 Got loads of ideas and material just need to get the editing done 😅 hopefully got guides for the rest of the F2P skills coming…
Great video. I planned on getting Ranged and a lot of other skills up before becoming a member. I spent quite a while doing Iron ore runs from the Mining Guild in order to buy a Bond and want to make sure my skills are good enough to go through Members content and earn enough GP for another one.
Hello Venoxium! Definitely a wise approach if you ask me! I always aim to get dragon slayer and the F2P quests done before going members. 🤔 That said you can accelerate extremely quickly just starting off straight in members 🤷🏻♂️ Guess it’s just preference. I love doing F2P just cos there’s so much content in P2P it’s hard to keep up/catch up 😅 If you have the combat and the runes/arrows farming gem drops for Jewellery and rune drops for high alc from the ogresses can be very profitable too! A good extra step for ironmen is you can also use rings of forging to make steel and sell steal bodies in Varrock for a good profit. 🤔 I need to make a video on that a few ppl suggested it in my money making video and it’s definitely a good idea! Thanks for the comment and the feedback bud! Good luck getting your bonds! 👍
Cheers GaigeTheRage! 👍 Honestly, every guide I start thinking it will be simple, but as soon as I start researching it there’s so much depth, even in F2P! Glad you found it useful bro! And thanks again for the comment 👌👌👌
Thanks you sir this was instructive on how I can level my 1 atk/1 def... On the topic of the crossbow, I was given a free xbow with 3k bronze bolt by a random and used it with a sword for easy swapping between melee/ranged training for the 20 first levels.
Nice work scoring the free bolts! And thanks 🙏 EthTgeSpurned for your comment and feedback 👍 Hey if someone gives you a load of free stuff early on why not use it? Like you said the first 20 levels are pretty fast. The shame with crossbows is just how limited they are… By now I think at least up to Mith should be added to F2P. 🤔 Id have to look up the stats to be certain, but I think if they did that then, crossbows would potentially be the best range weapons in F2P 😅
The one and only application I can come up with for Longbows besides aesthetics (and it's *very* niche) would be something like taking advantage of the increased range in PvP. Best case scenario I can think of for this is playing defense in Castle Wars and doing the whole battlements archer thing. For folks wanting to try that the Maple Longbow has identical stats to its short counterpart but fires two ticks slower on rapid... *or* non-ironmen can grab a Willow Composite Bow off the GE and try to split the difference. You lose 7 Ranged Attack Bonus and you're limited to mythril arrows (which as a fringe benefit are about 7 times cheaper off the GE), but you only lose one tick off your fire rate compared to shortbows if you're both on rapid, and your rapid ties with shortbows on any other style.
Yeah that’s true, if you were going to use it PvP I’d probably carry a short bow and switch to it once your opponent was within range. For none irons the composite bow seems a good option… Shame there isn’t a maple composite…
Sticking with lumby knight for all my guides. Love your work and your edits! Can tell you are passionate about this. Subscribed and like all your videos homie. Keep on hustling!
Cheers Luis Nieves! Awesome comment and feedback brother! Love it 👍 Would love to be making videos full time 🤞 hopefully I can get through F2P this year and then get some members guides down (until my HCIM dies and then I’ll spend 6 months in mourning 😂😂😂 Thanks again bro, stay safe!
Honestly love your videos bro literally I got back into runescape a week ago I'm at 460 total level and your guides have made the new account an absolute breeze keep it up bruv
Welcome back to the fold brother! 😂😂 As someone who had a long hiatus from the game myself, it good to hear people are coming back! Bring back the glory days! 😎😎👍👍 Thanks for your comment codybgaming1414! Good luck with your account going forward! 🤞🤞🤞 I hope the RNG gods are with you! Let me know how you get on!
Thanks for the vids used to play rs years ago before rs3 And just getting back into osrs as that was my favourite thanks for the vids very helpful with refreshing my memory
Only tidbit I'd add is training on minotaurs in the stronghold there is a safe spot on the first level and they drop arrows to train with, I'd use this over the giant frogs.
Omfg! I didn't know about Ranged Tutor toggle on auto equip arrows on pick. When I trained mine, just making way to Lvl 30 (just killing poor Monks really hehe..), I was camping at Karamja Volcano for Imps for their valuable beads until Lvl 50. When Lvl 50 up to current, I'm now Lvl 65 just all camping at Ogress. Haha.. what I got from sold beads and mind talismans, I bought like 50K Mithril Arrows sure to get like Lvl 80s. I also brought magic combat set, staff of fire, robes and runes. Since I got enough Lvl 55 Magic for High Alch, I also made combat style switch when I got more Minds, Chaos and Deaths. Good I got Lvl 60 Magic as well. Camping Ogress is like you can stay forever. 😂 I'm quite on and off playing, got bored.. because you know now an adult.. not unlike when I was playing RuneScape on my teens. 😁 Nonetheless, I really like how you represent your guides in your video such detailed and informative. 👍 Thank you Lumbridge Knight! ☺️
Hello Calludeus! Firstly, thanks for the comment and the feedback 😁😁😁 it’s much appreciated! Yeah the monks are a good training location, especially when you can get free healing from talking to them! Couldn’t agree with you more on the ogresses when I was doing F2P I’d just switch between ranger and magic there 👌 some good drops 👌 You must be very patient! Killing Imps just to get enough beads for the quest drives me crazy! 😅 their teleport is so annoying 😬😬😬 Question, are you playing as an iron? Yeah, I think most people tend to zone in and out of the game 😅 I’m struggling to get back in full time after playing leagues so much… The grind just drains you 😅
alternate training areas: Lesser demons in karamaja have an easy safe spot to the south of their peninsula and have decent rune item and runes dorps. For non-HCIM, you can camp Greaters at the demonic ruins in the deep wild with monk robes and a holy symbol; never even have to disable your overhead -- it lasts forever.
Yo KrazzyKlown! Thanks again for another awesome comment 👍 Both are really good shouts! I’ll have to check out the greater demons on my main 👌👌👌 The only reason I went with Moss Giants and Ogresses in the video is there proximity to a bank and the moss giants have a similar amount of hp but much lower defence, while the ogresses are very similar to the lesser demons but have slightly better drops. Absolutely nothing wrong with heading to Karamja instead of the ogresses though! In fact quite a few people still prefer the classic method of training on lessers 👍 Anyone who does do this should take runes to cast LA or HA with you and plenty of ammo so you don’t need to worry about heading back to a bank too often 👍👍
Bit late to video but as others have said, monk robes and a holy symbol at greater demons in deep wildy at the demonic ruins means your overheads never run out as the prayer regen from the area offsets it, those demons have a chance at dropping a rune full helm too but you can get PK'd easily being so remote, it's how I got my first one on my ironman. I just took barronite mace so only thing I risked was the loot drops, they give decent prayer xp from the ashes too
Yo walruslegion! All good buddy! It’s a great technique to be fair! I’ve got it on the future updates list for sure 😁 I had no idea there was a regen technique in F2P! 😁👍
I range train on the level 7 dark wizards in draynor. At 55def and 40 range I don't need any food and it's ridiculously easy to stack runes and wizard bodies. Even at low range levels you can tank hits and you have fishing, a bank, and WC/FM resources where you'll never zero out your run energy. Draynor is a skiller's paradise. Great spot for Ironmen.
Hello Tyler Scholten! Thanks for the comments man, some awesome hints and tips there! I should have thought about Draynor as it’s so close to the bank! I just assumed better drops from the level 20 dark wizards so south of Varrock was the best place 🤦🏻♂️ I’ll have to add that as an alternative in the video description 👍👍👍 Thanks again bro! 😎
The level 20s outside varrock are a little better with drop rates on talismans but the rest of the rune drops are basically identical. For early levels, those wizards are arrow sponges and an easy way to build past their aggro and you can skill in peace for all sorts of goodies on draynor beach.
@@TheLumbridgeKnight yeah! I'm in the process of maxing a f2p main so I'm doing a ton of skilling. It's also a main so I don't have a p2p for monetary abuse meaning I'm skilling for at the very least, a balanced profit/exp/sanity rate or purely for profit in the case of smithing, where I'm smithing solely platebodies for hi alch value. It's been a ride but I'm close to maxing cooking and fm simultaneously. The rest is just gonna be a mix of grinds to maintain sanity because I've one shot FM from 63-99 using maple logs which is over 90k logs lol.
Wow you have some staying power man! I did a month of getting two accounts to 99 FM at Wintertodt and that just burnt me out lol took a 2 month break from the game after 😅😅😅 Definitely mix it up man! Burn out is real 🤣🤣🤣 Stay safe and good luck brother!
i train my ranged at karamja volcano, there is a safe spot against lesser demons, i use adamant arrows,takes 30 seconds to kill them, with 320 exp per kill. so within an hour thats alot of exp, although the rarest drop they have is rune med helms
Yeah that’s definitely a good spot! And Rune Meds are still decent money for training. My only issue with the Karamja Volcano is getting into some of the safe spots can be a pain, like you kill a tone of demons from one position, but sometimes others can get to a point where they ignore the safe spot or your character keeps running out to hit them 😂
A good tip for IM would be to farm some iron and bronze arrows on minotaurs and farm some range levels on zammy monks this way also farming some sets for magic training seems they drop both top and bottom red robe with prayer bonus.
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ive been playing since 2004 off and on and p2p for years. tbh playing my new hcim on f2p reminds me so much of being a kid and trying to figure out the game and how to make enough money to buy rune armor etc. I think I like the challenges of f2p for hcim and the minimized version of the game
I’m probably about the same though I took a long break and just got back into it when a friend told me about them bringing old school out. I definitely have a soft spot for F2P. Though it does make me think 💭 how terrible I was at the game when I was like 14 😂 probably took me months to do dragon slayer and now I recon I could basically get to it in a couple of days maybe less with a fresh character 😂
Ironmen should STRONGLY consider getting mass addy arrows from LMS tokens; then farming tokens more as needed, if your not getting another arrow as drops. 350 arrows per token or 286 token/100k arrows You shouldn't be massing hundreds of thousands of arrows (ie: for 70/80+) from NPC gold vendors.
Can also get a coif from doing the quest for...I think his name is traveler Jon or something. He's at lumbridge and has a combat path (ranged) that will reward you with a coif when you get (I think) 20 ranged
Ahh yeah fair point! You can definitely get ranged rewards if you have access to the adventure paths. 🤔 I think it’s Adventurer John 😅 but yeah that’s a good point! Thanks for your comments Cal Ripplebear! 😁👍👍👍 for anyone who’s interested in doing this you have to tell the guy on tutorial island your NOT a confident player, if you select that option (or become an Ironman) it won’t be available.
Yo Rurn! Nice tip man 👍 No harm in trying it if you aren’t a HCIM. Just bank your items before you head out! Cheers for the comment and the tip man 👍👍👍
Good question… Ranged is a tough one for afk in F2P 🤔 hmm I would say if you have a lot of mithril arrows to spare or you can afford to buy them, try the lesser demons or the ogresses. You might use a lot of arrows but these guys have a lot of HP so you just have to click to collect your fallen arrows and to attack them. Then you can sit back while you safe spot 🤔 unfortunately that’s probably the best I can suggest. You could also try flesh crawlers in SOS just don’t safe spot and they will be aggressive for 10 minutes at a time. Obviously you will need food and decent defence as you will be taking damage. 😅 Hope that helps man! 👍
I was kind of having the idea that it would be interesting if some mid to high level f2p monsters could drop iron and steel crossbows for f2p players, mainly because that would give F2p some more options in the ranged department, though, this would thoroughly upset the f2p im and hcim's ect. But it would be I think, a fun thing to test perhaps.
Yo Adam! Aww I 100% agree! F2P needs a few more bosses, I think crossbows up to steel or mith and some more magic options! IMO Jagex/OSRS are underselling F2P and by developing it a bit more by adding some of the mid tier options, (that let’s be honest members barely ever use), would probably result in more players and more members. Plus it can’t hurt to have the F2P world be a bit more full! 🤷🏻♂️ When I was a kid I dreamt of being a member and that was all off the back of how much I loved F2P.
Doing fresh start at 46ish ranged, wizard can be done foodless assuming 40 def, green dhide and you tag only the level 7 wizards, the level 20s hit for 6 the level 7s hit for nothing, and at least on fresh start the rune/fire talisman sells for way too much, sold a talisman for 11k each? Also maybe an option for iron men is minotaurs for infinite iron arrows
Ahh that’s cool I went to the Minotaurs on my HCIM but I didn’t seem to get that many arrows 😅 was I doing it wrong? It’s from the drops right? Same with the wizards I did about an hour training as a proof for the video and I didn’t seem to get many rune drops 😅😅😅 bloody RNG!! It’s cursed I swear!!! 😂😂😂
I love training at ogresses! I started hunting them at lvl 50 range though. I run into the cave to the otherside by the bridge so i dont bother other players as much. I have 65 range now off and on range training for a couple weeks. But the drops😮 i stayed and didnt leave till i used all my mithril arrows about 2k of them and walked out with over 200k worth of runes and cash. I high alch
Yeah I definitely think the Ogresses are a worthwhile investment in terms of training and drops! They are a great resource! Just annoying that it can be very crowded! 🤔 I almost never check that side of the cave is it usually free? That’s a great tip if it is 😁👍
@TheLumbridgeKnight oh yeah! I'd say 80% of the time it's clear over there and after the 10 or 15 minute agro goes away you have 2 warriors and that one mage and all can be safe spotted
Yo Kiyan, I think I recommend the monks there in my melee guide 🤔 can’t remember why I didn’t use them for magic or range I think it was just because you can do some pretty easy quests to get you to a level where you can train on the giant frogs 🐸 and possibly because the monks are a bit harder to safe spot, though you can speak to them and get free healing too!
Hello Matheus! Yeah a totally valid strategy, I only disregarded them due to their distance from a bank, as catching the boat and running all the way to Draynor Bank in F2P is a pain. With good safe spotting, runes for high level Alchemy and a tone of arrows though, you could stay there for a long time. Moss Giants are still probably better though as there defence is really low, like only 30 or something so you will do a much higher DPS and they only have 19 less HP. I guess you got to weight up the chance to get some rune meds versus speed of XP 🤔 Maybe an alternative to the Ogresses Warriors as their defence is higher. Your call man! 👍👍 Thanks for the comment!
The Frogs are better from a pure efficiency/speed perspective 23 hp / 6 def verses 35 hp / 26 def, so you will land more hits on the frogs and they have a decent amount of hp for their level. They only drop big bones though so Hill giants have much better drops and are still a good option for sure, just because of their higher defence you will hit less often 👍 Hope that explains it 😅 Nothing wrong with training at the Hill Giants, plus you might get some giant keys which are needed if you want to fight Obor! Thanks for the comment 😁👍
How were you even able to film the swamp/frogs with No bots there? 😮 I haven't found any f2p server yet, that doesn't have at least 10-20 bots killing frogs and rats at all times. All in starter meelee gear, up to 70s CL. Cycling between "killing mode" and walking around "collecting bones mode" ...
Yo Maxfrischdev! Thanks for the comment man! Erm to be honest I haven’t found the UK worlds too bad, unless they have got way worse recently 😅 And as a consummate antisocial I use a RuneLite plug in to turn other players off when I film (and most of the time for general gaming these days)… Obviously they are still there I just can’t see them anymore 😅 you should try it, it’s liberating 😂😂😂
Yeah the counts assume you manage to pick up all your dropped arrows. So the calculations in the video work off a 20% loss rate, and reusing the arrows you have a lot, so you will need a hell of a lot more arrows, so for example, in step 1 to defeat the 140 cows for that step you will need probably 5-6x the number of arrows, so about 1,120. I think looking at this very quickly, (so don't quote me on this), 5-6x the figure in the video seems to be about right, but it will heavily depend on how much you miss and max hit etc. Hopefully that answers your question! 👍👍
Yo buzzandbass! Thanks for the comment! If you check out the arrow table in this guide: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Free-to-play_Ranged_training it will show you which arrow type will give you max hits at each ranged level. In most cases Addy arrows will offer you the highest max hit, but those are very expensive arrows. Unless you have a hell of a lot of money I’d save them for tougher enemies and bosses. Steel is much cheaper and for most of the levels only a 1 point lower max hit! 👍
hmm that's weird, you have have left with a shortbow and some bronze arrows. No worries though, speak to the ranged tutor in Lumbridge to get a training bow and 25 training arrows!
11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
This math doesn’t make sense for Lvl 20-30. To kill 118 barbarians you need more than 166 arrows
Yo, thanks for the comment! So all of the arrow calculations assume you recover all arrow fired (so you use the same arrow multiple times). 🤔 There is a 20% chance (I think) of losing an arrow each time you fire it. So you will need to fire more than 118 times but if you make sure to collect your arrows you should be able to do it with about that many 👍😅 Hope that makes sense 👍
Yo beckhend 94! How it going brother? 😅 yeah there’s like 10 seagulls in port sarim and 9 in Corsair cove but they are pretty busy usually 🤔 I usually use the chickens and then the cows 🤷🏻♂️
Yo chikentrain2099! Sorry bud not quite sure what bit of the swamp method you mean? 😅 Let me know and I’ll happily have a look at it and get back to you 👍
Both are good choices, I tend to just go from the Giant Frogs to the Moss Giants, just because they only have a 6 defence level versus the Hill Giants 26. They are still a decent choice though, slot them in between the Frogs and the Moss Giants. Lesser Demons, again are a good choice too, decent drops, but much higher defence than Moss Giants. The lower defence just means you will do more DPS so its just a bit faster, if that makes sense.
Or if you want to be as cheap as hell train Minotaurs to as high as you want but use iron arrows because they drop iron arrows and you will never run out!
I’ve trained to lvl 70 range at the lvl 27 Minotaurs and all you do is build your stockpile of iron arrows so if you want to do that just expect to kill a lot of Minotaurs.
That’s good to know man. Definitely a good one for low budget and ironmen! Cheers daniel! So when you were there you actually never managed to run out of arrows?
With 33 magic you can use safe spot and grab the loot from distance too. (Needs law runes tho). I might do this for some time before moving to moss giants.
Yo Sir ruthford2388... I was hoping no one would ask... 😅 And its taken me 20 minutes to work it out as I think I binned some of my notes... Ok so I believe this is how I calculated the amounts (ill use the cows from the 1st section): I took the HP (cows have 8 HP) / Average max hit (from levels 1-20 is 2) = 4 - This number represents the number of arrows needed to kill a cow assuming you hit constant 2's, so 100% accuracy. So to account for arrows that miss I've doubled this number to get 8. I then multiply the average number of arrows by the number of cow I need to kill = 8 * 140 (the 140 is from an exp calculator) = 1120 However, since we will only lose 20% of arrows we only actually need 20% of this number, so 1120 * 0.2 = 224, which is the magic number. Hopefully, that makes sense, I was searching for some kind of guide online, but couldn't really find any thing concrete. So I created this very rough estimation. The average max hit is just from the arrow max hit table on the F2P Ranged Guide on OSRS Wiki so like for bronze arrows 1-5 is 1, 6-14 is 2, 15-20 is 3. So in this case I used 2 as the average.
Hello Giacomo Berisso! Fair point but the only greater demon spawns in F2P are in the back of the wilderness so I wouldn’t recommend Ironmen farming greater demons there 🤔 maybe standard Ironmen would be fine but for HCIM it would be suicidal. Plus the distance to the bank? So that’s why I didn’t really consider or mention greater demons, Ogresses is much safer and quicker for ironmen. Fair point though, and thanks for the comment and the feedback 👍
Yo Roansino! Erm basically due to cost and the diminishing returns. For example at level 24 and 25 there’s no difference between bronze, iron, steel or mithril. So you should only use them when you can afford them and when they offer an increase to you max hit. Check out the guide on OSRS wiki: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Free-to-play_Ranged_training
I mean if you rly want to be technically on BOS gear a skill-cape could be better due to defensive bonus it provides they say cooking is the fastest but who is going to do that, plus u always safe-spot anyway
These are definitely a good alternative to the giant frogs, and everyone seems to forget about the group over in Al Kharid. Plus you can start gathering some giant keys if you fancy taking on Obor at a later date 👌👌👌
Yeah F2P is not the most efficient... Jagex has definitely designed it that way. Good place to get started writing guides though. Also there are so many ways to train in members I get lost. Plus I do have a soft spot for F2P from when I used to play back in the day 😅
Hello Benjamin Navarro! Hope you're enjoying OSRS bud! You can train on the lesser demon if you want. However, unless you have 33 magic to cast telekinetic grab, you wont be able to get any drops and you will lose all of your arrows. Plus at level 1 range you will use a lot of arrows to kill the demon (as you will hit a lot of zeros). When it comes to enemies you want to look for more than just good safe spots. Enemies with a low Defence and high HP are good because they maximise your DPS, and the higher your DPS the higher your Exp. Hope that makes sense 😅 Welcome aboard & good luck with your training! 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks for the advice, i really don´t know much about defence on mobs but i practice magic to lvl 40 casting the first spell on lesser demon because it was cheap but not faster enough :), i will follow your guide, nice video!
Yeah theres a lot to OSRS behind the scenes. My videos generally show some of the most efficient methods so you don't have to do the research yourself 👍 Good luck on your OSRS journey bro!
If you're buy from a vendor then do a world switch to keep the cost down. Buy 50 arrows on one world, then go to the next one, check that the store has full stock and do the same again. Repeat this until you have the right quantity you want. Unless you have tones of money and don't care that is... 😅😅😅
Ahh I always think of it in terms of a HCIM buying arrows from the stores. 3 gp on the GE... they used to be 60! damn! 😅 Thanks for the comment brother!👍
Yo Milan Van Welden, great question/suggestion, 100% you could AFK using the flesh crawlers (floor 2) or the giant spiders (floor 3). The only reason i didnt consider these guys in the guide is that they have higher ranged defence than the other monsters. My first thought was to train ranged to 99 in SOS, but while these guys would still be easy enough to kill and can be done AFK, if you are willing to click once or twice every couple of minutes your DPS versus my suggested monsters would be technically higher. Plus you will get some better drops from the monsters in my methods, particularly useful if you are playing as an ironman. Be a good thing to compare the exp rates and to be honest an AFK based guide would be really useful as in reality not many people are going to be able to click all the way to 99. Though, for me personally, I'd recommend going members when you hit base 50, 99 in F2P would be very time consuming.
Harsh! 😂😂😂 I’ll work on my pronunciation! I guess the presentation voice needs some attention! If you watch my prayer guide (wip) please have pitty I was dying from flu while trying to hit my deadline 😂😂😂 Thanks for the feedback Leo! 👍
Hello Instalocktaka! Thanks for the comment bro! Erm I do agree it’s a tall order going for 99 in F2P but there’s a surprising amount of people going for it 🤷🏻♂️ Equally these guides have been getting some really good responses. Plus it just made sense to me to make F2P guides first before looking at members content in depth because there’s way more ways to do things in members so it will take a lot more time to research and learn. Also I’m not sure people are leaving the game. www.misplaceditems.com this site claims to track the player count and OSRS is on an upward trend, which would makes sense considering the game just launched on steam recently. I think a lot of people drop in and out, not doubt but I don’t think the player base is declining?
nahh get to 20 at cows for ranged, thenhead to barb ville pit and go down ladder and train defense there instead with melee. faster than getting it with ranged. def is def either way. so use melee for it since its faster. also because at the minotaurs u get free iron arrows =]
Yeah definitely recommend training defence with melee. A lot of people have recommended the minotaurs because of the arrow drops 👍 Thanks for the comments 👍
This channel is easily the best f2p level guides
Hello ELMO! Thanks for the comment and the awesome feedback buddy 😁😁😁 hoping to get a full set of guides for F2P done ASAP… 😅🤷🏻♂️ god knows when that will be though 😂 maybe Christmas 🎄 stay safe and thanks again 👍👍👍
fax
It’s the only one I use as a dedicated f2p only player
Thank god for people supporting F2P
Cheers kg30004! I'll always try to keep supporting F2P! Love this side of the game!
2 things regarding Moss Giants:
1) I believe they are actually the fastest ranged XP all the way to 99 in f2p, since they have much lower defence than Ogress Warriors. I think people prefer to switch to Ogress Warriors at higher levels because they offer much more valuable drops and are more AFKable, even if the XP per hour is lower.
2) An alternative training location to the Varrock Sewers is Crandor. Five or so spawn on the southern end of the island and they can be easily safe-spotted using the nearby Adamant and Coal rocks. It's a bit trickier to get to, especially if you're low level since you have to run past lvl 82 Lesser Demons, but this also means that there's rarely anybody else training on them. It also isn't a multi-combat area, so other players can't steal your kills.
Hello TurmutHoer! Thanks for all the comments man, really good hints and tips! Apologies for my delay in replying, I've been struck down and spent the last few days recovering... Yeah point 1 is certainly true, Moss Giants are far easier to kill than Ogresses but I recommend switching between the two just to farm some good drops to make some money out of your training, and to mix things up a bit. 👍👍👍
I never twigged the fact its not a multi combat zone on Crandor, so yeah definitely a useful one for ironmen if they don't want there kills stealing! 😎😎
Crandor only has 3 giant spawns...I should know since I recently lived on that island getting all my melee stats up to 70 lol.
@@TheLumbridgeKnightbro goes to crandor you have to go to varrock down under where the deadly spiders are you can save spot the hill giants from there or you go to karamja for the demons
I get the same exp per hour on both spots.
Hey man, I know this is an old comment but I tested this and you’re right.
In a nutshell from my testing, Ranged lvl 75 the following results:
Ogresses - Corsair Cove:
1k xp every 3 minutes (e.g. 20k per hour)
Moss Giants - Varrock sewers:
1k xp every 2 minutes (e.g. 30k per hour)
This means it’s 50% better xp wise, however, the loot table is indeed shit compared to that of Ogress. Added bonus with the loot pool drop of Ogress is that they drop all the runes to enchant lvl 3. Basically you can live out there, especially since there’s a bank not far away.
Your guides are comprehensive, easy to follow, and overall well produced. Thank you!
Cheers for the comment InfamousNyro! 🫡 The feedback is much appreciated sir 😁😁👍👍
Pretty well put together as far as f2p goes,I do however have 2 issues/suggestions with it.
1 Accurate even pre 30 is lower overall dps than Rapid. Always use Rapid
2 Starting at range level 5 Iron arrows give +1 to your max hit over bronze arrows. Considering the costs bronze should never be used either.
Hello RawrTehehe! Thanks for the comment and the feedback 👍👍👍 Some great points! 🤦🏻♂️ totally missed the GE price points got too focussed on Ironmen 😅 showing my bias there… I’ll update the description to try to reflect what you’ve suggested 👍
1. is not true: it depends on whether accurate boosts your max hit over rapid. If it does then accurate will be better than rapid.
@@M0odez that’s not true. Rapid fires 33% faster, so after your max hit is 4 with rapid even if it was 5 with accurate that’s only 25% more max hit than 4, so rapid is still better. So with only a few minutes of gameplay where the max hit goes from 1-2 or 2-3 before rapid is always better, mind as well just always use rapid.
@@johnmichaelmorrow1589 I meant only within levels 1-30 as per the original comment.
This is super helpful. Love the visuals. Thank you!
Hey Scaleon Khan! Thanks for the comment dude! 👍 Glad you found it useful and liked the visuals! 😁😁😁
I’ve been playing this game for so long and still learn new stuff
Hello Payne! Yeah I know the feeling… I took a big hiatus from RuneScape in general only really got back into it because of covid and the lockdowns 😅😅😅 it’s changed so much since RS2… I feel old… 😂😂😂 Anyway thanks for the comment! Glad there was something new in there for you! 👍👍😁😁
bro i just got back in to osrs and you my friend are the goat my god
No worries man! Thanks for the comment and support! Welcome back! 👍👍👍
Very helpful video mate, just got back into osrs a few months ago and I love your videos and content. Keep it up 😃
Hello Anc1ntkn1ght! Thanks for the comment bud 👍👍👍 Glad the video was helpful! 😎 Appreciate the positive feedback man 👌👌👌 Got loads of ideas and material just need to get the editing done 😅 hopefully got guides for the rest of the F2P skills coming…
Great video. I planned on getting Ranged and a lot of other skills up before becoming a member. I spent quite a while doing Iron ore runs from the Mining Guild in order to buy a Bond and want to make sure my skills are good enough to go through Members content and earn enough GP for another one.
Hello Venoxium! Definitely a wise approach if you ask me! I always aim to get dragon slayer and the F2P quests done before going members. 🤔 That said you can accelerate extremely quickly just starting off straight in members 🤷🏻♂️ Guess it’s just preference. I love doing F2P just cos there’s so much content in P2P it’s hard to keep up/catch up 😅
If you have the combat and the runes/arrows farming gem drops for Jewellery and rune drops for high alc from the ogresses can be very profitable too! A good extra step for ironmen is you can also use rings of forging to make steel and sell steal bodies in Varrock for a good profit. 🤔 I need to make a video on that a few ppl suggested it in my money making video and it’s definitely a good idea!
Thanks for the comment and the feedback bud! Good luck getting your bonds! 👍
They should put this guy in the game as one of the tutors.
'The Master Tutor'
Haha I’d love that! 😂 just kill off explorer John bring in the Knight! 😂😂😂
I like how you throw a lot of useful information in!
Cheers GaigeTheRage! 👍 Honestly, every guide I start thinking it will be simple, but as soon as I start researching it there’s so much depth, even in F2P! Glad you found it useful bro! And thanks again for the comment 👌👌👌
Thanks you sir this was instructive on how I can level my 1 atk/1 def... On the topic of the crossbow, I was given a free xbow with 3k bronze bolt by a random and used it with a sword for easy swapping between melee/ranged training for the 20 first levels.
Nice work scoring the free bolts! And thanks 🙏 EthTgeSpurned for your comment and feedback 👍 Hey if someone gives you a load of free stuff early on why not use it? Like you said the first 20 levels are pretty fast. The shame with crossbows is just how limited they are… By now I think at least up to Mith should be added to F2P. 🤔 Id have to look up the stats to be certain, but I think if they did that then, crossbows would potentially be the best range weapons in F2P 😅
The one and only application I can come up with for Longbows besides aesthetics (and it's *very* niche) would be something like taking advantage of the increased range in PvP.
Best case scenario I can think of for this is playing defense in Castle Wars and doing the whole battlements archer thing.
For folks wanting to try that the Maple Longbow has identical stats to its short counterpart but fires two ticks slower on rapid... *or* non-ironmen can grab a Willow Composite Bow off the GE and try to split the difference. You lose 7 Ranged Attack Bonus and you're limited to mythril arrows (which as a fringe benefit are about 7 times cheaper off the GE), but you only lose one tick off your fire rate compared to shortbows if you're both on rapid, and your rapid ties with shortbows on any other style.
Yeah that’s true, if you were going to use it PvP I’d probably carry a short bow and switch to it once your opponent was within range. For none irons the composite bow seems a good option… Shame there isn’t a maple composite…
amazing guide, one of the best ive seen
Hello Aroynt! Thanks for the comment and the feedback it’s much appreciated 😁😁😁👍👍👍 glad you liked it!
Sticking with lumby knight for all my guides. Love your work and your edits! Can tell you are passionate about this. Subscribed and like all your videos homie. Keep on hustling!
Cheers Luis Nieves! Awesome comment and feedback brother! Love it 👍 Would love to be making videos full time 🤞 hopefully I can get through F2P this year and then get some members guides down (until my HCIM dies and then I’ll spend 6 months in mourning 😂😂😂 Thanks again bro, stay safe!
Honestly love your videos bro literally I got back into runescape a week ago I'm at 460 total level and your guides have made the new account an absolute breeze keep it up bruv
Welcome back to the fold brother! 😂😂 As someone who had a long hiatus from the game myself, it good to hear people are coming back! Bring back the glory days! 😎😎👍👍 Thanks for your comment codybgaming1414! Good luck with your account going forward! 🤞🤞🤞 I hope the RNG gods are with you! Let me know how you get on!
Thanks for the vids used to play rs years ago before rs3
And just getting back into osrs as that was my favourite thanks for the vids very helpful with refreshing my memory
No problem at all! 😁👍 Thank you for the comment, and welcome back to the game 😁👍 🍀 good luck out there!
Only tidbit I'd add is training on minotaurs in the stronghold there is a safe spot on the first level and they drop arrows to train with, I'd use this over the giant frogs.
Ahh yeah I do like the Minotaur's! And its a lot less crowded that the frogs at peak times! great tip cheers! 😀👍
Omfg! I didn't know about Ranged Tutor toggle on auto equip arrows on pick.
When I trained mine, just making way to Lvl 30 (just killing poor Monks really hehe..), I was camping at Karamja Volcano for Imps for their valuable beads until Lvl 50. When Lvl 50 up to current, I'm now Lvl 65 just all camping at Ogress. Haha.. what I got from sold beads and mind talismans, I bought like 50K Mithril Arrows sure to get like Lvl 80s. I also brought magic combat set, staff of fire, robes and runes. Since I got enough Lvl 55 Magic for High Alch, I also made combat style switch when I got more Minds, Chaos and Deaths. Good I got Lvl 60 Magic as well.
Camping Ogress is like you can stay forever. 😂 I'm quite on and off playing, got bored.. because you know now an adult.. not unlike when I was playing RuneScape on my teens. 😁
Nonetheless, I really like how you represent your guides in your video such detailed and informative. 👍
Thank you Lumbridge Knight! ☺️
Hello Calludeus! Firstly, thanks for the comment and the feedback 😁😁😁 it’s much appreciated! Yeah the monks are a good training location, especially when you can get free healing from talking to them! Couldn’t agree with you more on the ogresses when I was doing F2P I’d just switch between ranger and magic there 👌 some good drops 👌
You must be very patient! Killing Imps just to get enough beads for the quest drives me crazy! 😅 their teleport is so annoying 😬😬😬
Question, are you playing as an iron?
Yeah, I think most people tend to zone in and out of the game 😅 I’m struggling to get back in full time after playing leagues so much… The grind just drains you 😅
These guides are so phenomenally good!
Thanks 🙏 alicebogosian 😁👍 Glad you liked them! Thanks for the comment 😁👍
alternate training areas:
Lesser demons in karamaja have an easy safe spot to the south of their peninsula and have decent rune item and runes dorps.
For non-HCIM, you can camp Greaters at the demonic ruins in the deep wild with monk robes and a holy symbol; never even have to disable your overhead -- it lasts forever.
Yo KrazzyKlown! Thanks again for another awesome comment 👍 Both are really good shouts! I’ll have to check out the greater demons on my main 👌👌👌 The only reason I went with Moss Giants and Ogresses in the video is there proximity to a bank and the moss giants have a similar amount of hp but much lower defence, while the ogresses are very similar to the lesser demons but have slightly better drops. Absolutely nothing wrong with heading to Karamja instead of the ogresses though! In fact quite a few people still prefer the classic method of training on lessers 👍 Anyone who does do this should take runes to cast LA or HA with you and plenty of ammo so you don’t need to worry about heading back to a bank too often 👍👍
As a new player, all I can say is … THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hello ethan6437! No problem at all! Thank you for the awesome comment! Welcome to the game! May the RNG gods smile on you! 🍀👍😃👍
Bit late to video but as others have said, monk robes and a holy symbol at greater demons in deep wildy at the demonic ruins means your overheads never run out as the prayer regen from the area offsets it, those demons have a chance at dropping a rune full helm too but you can get PK'd easily being so remote, it's how I got my first one on my ironman. I just took barronite mace so only thing I risked was the loot drops, they give decent prayer xp from the ashes too
Yo walruslegion! All good buddy! It’s a great technique to be fair! I’ve got it on the future updates list for sure 😁 I had no idea there was a regen technique in F2P! 😁👍
Leather boots spawn in lumbridge castle basement, leather body spawns in Varrock near the mage shop,
Chicken and cows for feathers and leather...
Man in all the time I’ve played I never knew there was a leather body spawn in Varrock 😅
This guy makes the best videos 💯
Thank you for the awesome comment man 😎 It is much appreciated! Glad you like the videos! 👍👍👍 Stay safe man!
Great clean guide. Ty.
Hello Victor Seborowski! Thanks for the feedback and comment man 😎 it is much appreciated 😁👍👍
I range train on the level 7 dark wizards in draynor. At 55def and 40 range I don't need any food and it's ridiculously easy to stack runes and wizard bodies. Even at low range levels you can tank hits and you have fishing, a bank, and WC/FM resources where you'll never zero out your run energy. Draynor is a skiller's paradise. Great spot for Ironmen.
Hello Tyler Scholten! Thanks for the comments man, some awesome hints and tips there! I should have thought about Draynor as it’s so close to the bank! I just assumed better drops from the level 20 dark wizards so south of Varrock was the best place 🤦🏻♂️ I’ll have to add that as an alternative in the video description 👍👍👍 Thanks again bro! 😎
The level 20s outside varrock are a little better with drop rates on talismans but the rest of the rune drops are basically identical. For early levels, those wizards are arrow sponges and an easy way to build past their aggro and you can skill in peace for all sorts of goodies on draynor beach.
Ahh fair point, and like you said its really close to a bank too! Updated the description to include your feedback, thanks again dude!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight yeah! I'm in the process of maxing a f2p main so I'm doing a ton of skilling. It's also a main so I don't have a p2p for monetary abuse meaning I'm skilling for at the very least, a balanced profit/exp/sanity rate or purely for profit in the case of smithing, where I'm smithing solely platebodies for hi alch value. It's been a ride but I'm close to maxing cooking and fm simultaneously. The rest is just gonna be a mix of grinds to maintain sanity because I've one shot FM from 63-99 using maple logs which is over 90k logs lol.
Wow you have some staying power man! I did a month of getting two accounts to 99 FM at Wintertodt and that just burnt me out lol took a 2 month break from the game after 😅😅😅 Definitely mix it up man! Burn out is real 🤣🤣🤣 Stay safe and good luck brother!
i train my ranged at karamja volcano, there is a safe spot against lesser demons, i use adamant arrows,takes 30 seconds to kill them, with 320 exp per kill. so within an hour thats alot of exp, although the rarest drop they have is rune med helms
Yeah that’s definitely a good spot! And Rune Meds are still decent money for training. My only issue with the Karamja Volcano is getting into some of the safe spots can be a pain, like you kill a tone of demons from one position, but sometimes others can get to a point where they ignore the safe spot or your character keeps running out to hit them 😂
A good tip for IM would be to farm some iron and bronze arrows on minotaurs and farm some range levels on zammy monks this way also farming some sets for magic training seems they drop both top and bottom red robe with prayer bonus.
Yeah, those are some great tips for IM! Thanks tomsanders6219! 😀😀👍👍 I'll make a note to add this when I get to updating this video!
Great guide. Thank you!
Hello GTN_Cory! Thanks for the comment and the feedback dude 👍👍👍 Glad you liked it 😁😁🙏🙏
1-99 in SoS, 1-20 Goblins, 20-30 Minotaurs, 30-99 Flesh Crawlers, if you need big bones, and are under 85 combat afk moss giants in tank gear.
Yeah SoS is certainly a great location. Especially with the Flesh crawlers and giant spiders being AFK-able! 👍😁
These videos are awesome dude!!
Thanks again! Are you staying in F2P or thinking of going P2P at some point?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight ive been playing since 2004 off and on and p2p for years. tbh playing my new hcim on f2p reminds me so much of being a kid and trying to figure out the game and how to make enough money to buy rune armor etc. I think I like the challenges of f2p for hcim and the minimized version of the game
I’m probably about the same though I took a long break and just got back into it when a friend told me about them bringing old school out. I definitely have a soft spot for F2P. Though it does make me think 💭 how terrible I was at the game when I was like 14 😂 probably took me months to do dragon slayer and now I recon I could basically get to it in a couple of days maybe less with a fresh character 😂
Ironmen should STRONGLY consider getting mass addy arrows from LMS tokens; then farming tokens more as needed, if your not getting another arrow as drops. 350 arrows per token or 286 token/100k arrows
You shouldn't be massing hundreds of thousands of arrows (ie: for 70/80+) from NPC gold vendors.
This is good advice. P2P only though to earn points right?
Can also get a coif from doing the quest for...I think his name is traveler Jon or something. He's at lumbridge and has a combat path (ranged) that will reward you with a coif when you get (I think) 20 ranged
Ahh yeah fair point! You can definitely get ranged rewards if you have access to the adventure paths. 🤔 I think it’s Adventurer John 😅 but yeah that’s a good point! Thanks for your comments Cal Ripplebear! 😁👍👍👍 for anyone who’s interested in doing this you have to tell the guy on tutorial island your NOT a confident player, if you select that option (or become an Ironman) it won’t be available.
there are about 16 bronze arrow spawns west of the ferox enclave if youre willing to risk it and world hop.
Yo Rurn! Nice tip man 👍 No harm in trying it if you aren’t a HCIM. Just bank your items before you head out! Cheers for the comment and the tip man 👍👍👍
Anything you'd advise for something more afk 40-60? love the videos Lumbridge knight, straight to the point and nearly all bases covered each time!
Good question… Ranged is a tough one for afk in F2P 🤔 hmm I would say if you have a lot of mithril arrows to spare or you can afford to buy them, try the lesser demons or the ogresses. You might use a lot of arrows but these guys have a lot of HP so you just have to click to collect your fallen arrows and to attack them. Then you can sit back while you safe spot 🤔 unfortunately that’s probably the best I can suggest. You could also try flesh crawlers in SOS just don’t safe spot and they will be aggressive for 10 minutes at a time. Obviously you will need food and decent defence as you will be taking damage. 😅 Hope that helps man! 👍
great guides man!!
Yo man thanks again for the comments 👍 means a lot that the videos are useful to people 😁👍👍
I was kind of having the idea that it would be interesting if some mid to high level f2p monsters could drop iron and steel crossbows for f2p players, mainly because that would give F2p some more options in the ranged department, though, this would thoroughly upset the f2p im and hcim's ect. But it would be I think, a fun thing to test perhaps.
Yo Adam! Aww I 100% agree! F2P needs a few more bosses, I think crossbows up to steel or mith and some more magic options! IMO Jagex/OSRS are underselling F2P and by developing it a bit more by adding some of the mid tier options, (that let’s be honest members barely ever use), would probably result in more players and more members. Plus it can’t hurt to have the F2P world be a bit more full! 🤷🏻♂️ When I was a kid I dreamt of being a member and that was all off the back of how much I loved F2P.
I would have included an enemy or two that drops arrows as part of its drop table. Like Ankou
Ahh a fair point! Thanks for your comment 😁👍 I’ll add it to the update list for the video 😁👍
Doing fresh start at 46ish ranged, wizard can be done foodless assuming 40 def, green dhide and you tag only the level 7 wizards, the level 20s hit for 6 the level 7s hit for nothing, and at least on fresh start the rune/fire talisman sells for way too much, sold a talisman for 11k each? Also maybe an option for iron men is minotaurs for infinite iron arrows
Ahh that’s cool I went to the Minotaurs on my HCIM but I didn’t seem to get that many arrows 😅 was I doing it wrong? It’s from the drops right?
Same with the wizards I did about an hour training as a proof for the video and I didn’t seem to get many rune drops 😅😅😅 bloody RNG!! It’s cursed I swear!!! 😂😂😂
I love training at ogresses! I started hunting them at lvl 50 range though. I run into the cave to the otherside by the bridge so i dont bother other players as much. I have 65 range now off and on range training for a couple weeks. But the drops😮 i stayed and didnt leave till i used all my mithril arrows about 2k of them and walked out with over 200k worth of runes and cash. I high alch
Yeah I definitely think the Ogresses are a worthwhile investment in terms of training and drops! They are a great resource! Just annoying that it can be very crowded! 🤔 I almost never check that side of the cave is it usually free? That’s a great tip if it is 😁👍
@TheLumbridgeKnight oh yeah! I'd say 80% of the time it's clear over there and after the 10 or 15 minute agro goes away you have 2 warriors and that one mage and all can be safe spotted
I definitely need to remember this spot! 😁👍
surprised no one ever talks about monks west of edgeville.... level 5, low def, 15hp and they randomly regenerate 2 hp constantly
Yo Kiyan, I think I recommend the monks there in my melee guide 🤔 can’t remember why I didn’t use them for magic or range I think it was just because you can do some pretty easy quests to get you to a level where you can train on the giant frogs 🐸 and possibly because the monks are a bit harder to safe spot, though you can speak to them and get free healing too!
the greater demons in wildy drop rune fulls helm as well as Obar.
Ahh yeah forgot about those! I hide from the Wildy 😂😂😂 Thanks for the comment and the tip man 😁😁👍👍
*Lvl 14 Minotuars* in the Stronghold are notable for ironmen because they drop LOADS of iron arrows.
Thanks for the tip CocoMura! 😁👍
What about lesser demons? They have 0 defence against attack styles, and -10 against magic.
Hello Matheus! Yeah a totally valid strategy, I only disregarded them due to their distance from a bank, as catching the boat and running all the way to Draynor Bank in F2P is a pain. With good safe spotting, runes for high level Alchemy and a tone of arrows though, you could stay there for a long time. Moss Giants are still probably better though as there defence is really low, like only 30 or something so you will do a much higher DPS and they only have 19 less HP. I guess you got to weight up the chance to get some rune meds versus speed of XP 🤔 Maybe an alternative to the Ogresses Warriors as their defence is higher. Your call man! 👍👍 Thanks for the comment!
Why the frogs and not the hill giants? The bank is not very far and the loot is decent. They can also be safe spoted.
The Frogs are better from a pure efficiency/speed perspective 23 hp / 6 def verses 35 hp / 26 def, so you will land more hits on the frogs and they have a decent amount of hp for their level. They only drop big bones though so Hill giants have much better drops and are still a good option for sure, just because of their higher defence you will hit less often 👍 Hope that explains it 😅 Nothing wrong with training at the Hill Giants, plus you might get some giant keys which are needed if you want to fight Obor! Thanks for the comment 😁👍
How were you even able to film the swamp/frogs with No bots there? 😮
I haven't found any f2p server yet, that doesn't have at least 10-20 bots killing frogs and rats at all times. All in starter meelee gear, up to 70s CL.
Cycling between "killing mode" and walking around "collecting bones mode" ...
Yo Maxfrischdev! Thanks for the comment man! Erm to be honest I haven’t found the UK worlds too bad, unless they have got way worse recently 😅 And as a consummate antisocial I use a RuneLite plug in to turn other players off when I film (and most of the time for general gaming these days)… Obviously they are still there I just can’t see them anymore 😅 you should try it, it’s liberating 😂😂😂
are these arrow counts counting picking up arrows?
If so +\- how many arrows would we be looking at without picking them up?
Yeah the counts assume you manage to pick up all your dropped arrows. So the calculations in the video work off a 20% loss rate, and reusing the arrows you have a lot, so you will need a hell of a lot more arrows, so for example, in step 1 to defeat the 140 cows for that step you will need probably 5-6x the number of arrows, so about 1,120. I think looking at this very quickly, (so don't quote me on this), 5-6x the figure in the video seems to be about right, but it will heavily depend on how much you miss and max hit etc. Hopefully that answers your question! 👍👍
The grind is real in f2p
You know it! It’s too much for me to try and get all F2P stats to 99 that’s for sure! 😅😂
If I use adamant arrows, will that be faster and better due to higher damage and quicker frogs killed? for level 30-60 range?
Yo buzzandbass! Thanks for the comment! If you check out the arrow table in this guide: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Free-to-play_Ranged_training it will show you which arrow type will give you max hits at each ranged level. In most cases Addy arrows will offer you the highest max hit, but those are very expensive arrows. Unless you have a hell of a lot of money I’d save them for tougher enemies and bosses. Steel is much cheaper and for most of the levels only a 1 point lower max hit! 👍
I’m done tutorial island I believe but I didn’t get any arrows or bow ?
hmm that's weird, you have have left with a shortbow and some bronze arrows. No worries though, speak to the ranged tutor in Lumbridge to get a training bow and 25 training arrows!
This math doesn’t make sense for Lvl 20-30. To kill 118 barbarians you need more than 166 arrows
Yo, thanks for the comment! So all of the arrow calculations assume you recover all arrow fired (so you use the same arrow multiple times). 🤔 There is a 20% chance (I think) of losing an arrow each time you fire it. So you will need to fire more than 118 times but if you make sure to collect your arrows you should be able to do it with about that many 👍😅 Hope that makes sense 👍
5k subs only with this much video effort is crazy
It’s been a slow burn 😅 hopefully 🙏 it will keep growing
ty!
No problem 👍 Thanks for the comment 😁👍
*Rats behind lumby castle are in more numbers than seagulls just hitn10lvl there and go for chickens since they have 3hp*
Yo beckhend 94! How it going brother?
😅 yeah there’s like 10 seagulls in port sarim and 9 in Corsair cove but they are pretty busy usually 🤔 I usually use the chickens and then the cows 🤷🏻♂️
Hey man idk if this is correct but i think the lumbridge swamp method only gives me 20-24-4
Yo chikentrain2099! Sorry bud not quite sure what bit of the swamp method you mean? 😅 Let me know and I’ll happily have a look at it and get back to you 👍
Why not Hill Giants or Lesser Demons?
Both are good choices, I tend to just go from the Giant Frogs to the Moss Giants, just because they only have a 6 defence level versus the Hill Giants 26. They are still a decent choice though, slot them in between the Frogs and the Moss Giants. Lesser Demons, again are a good choice too, decent drops, but much higher defence than Moss Giants. The lower defence just means you will do more DPS so its just a bit faster, if that makes sense.
Or if you want to be as cheap as hell train Minotaurs to as high as you want but use iron arrows because they drop iron arrows and you will never run out!
I’ve trained to lvl 70 range at the lvl 27 Minotaurs and all you do is build your stockpile of iron arrows so if you want to do that just expect to kill a lot of Minotaurs.
That’s good to know man. Definitely a good one for low budget and ironmen! Cheers daniel! So when you were there you actually never managed to run out of arrows?
With 33 magic you can use safe spot and grab the loot from distance too. (Needs law runes tho). I might do this for some time before moving to moss giants.
@@TheLumbridgeKnight yes but lower levels will so aim for mid 40’s and u should be good!
How did you work out the mathmatics to find the amount of arrows needed, I'm trying to work it out
Yo Sir ruthford2388... I was hoping no one would ask... 😅 And its taken me 20 minutes to work it out as I think I binned some of my notes... Ok so I believe this is how I calculated the amounts (ill use the cows from the 1st section):
I took the HP (cows have 8 HP) / Average max hit (from levels 1-20 is 2) = 4 - This number represents the number of arrows needed to kill a cow assuming you hit constant 2's, so 100% accuracy. So to account for arrows that miss I've doubled this number to get 8.
I then multiply the average number of arrows by the number of cow I need to kill = 8 * 140 (the 140 is from an exp calculator) = 1120
However, since we will only lose 20% of arrows we only actually need 20% of this number, so 1120 * 0.2 = 224, which is the magic number.
Hopefully, that makes sense, I was searching for some kind of guide online, but couldn't really find any thing concrete. So I created this very rough estimation. The average max hit is just from the arrow max hit table on the F2P Ranged Guide on OSRS Wiki so like for bronze arrows 1-5 is 1, 6-14 is 2, 15-20 is 3. So in this case I used 2 as the average.
Greater demons also drop rune full helms 😂
Hello Giacomo Berisso! Fair point but the only greater demon spawns in F2P are in the back of the wilderness so I wouldn’t recommend Ironmen farming greater demons there 🤔 maybe standard Ironmen would be fine but for HCIM it would be suicidal. Plus the distance to the bank? So that’s why I didn’t really consider or mention greater demons, Ogresses is much safer and quicker for ironmen. Fair point though, and thanks for the comment and the feedback 👍
I didn’t know Lumbridge was in Teesside lol
Hahaha! You know it! I mean there’s a few bridges over the river and plenty of goblins… 😅😂😂
Why not changing to mithril arrows when lvl 20?
Yo Roansino! Erm basically due to cost and the diminishing returns. For example at level 24 and 25 there’s no difference between bronze, iron, steel or mithril. So you should only use them when you can afford them and when they offer an increase to you max hit. Check out the guide on OSRS wiki: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Free-to-play_Ranged_training
why not use throwing knives? why not ice giants?
Definitely could use ice giants 👌 but aren’t throwing knives members only?
I mean if you rly want to be technically on BOS gear a skill-cape could be better due to defensive bonus it provides they say cooking is the fastest but who is going to do that, plus u always safe-spot anyway
Skill capes are definitely better than standard capes 😅 but I thought they were members only?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Oh sorry my bad you're right, i also love and enjoy your videos
how about safe spotting hill giants
These are definitely a good alternative to the giant frogs, and everyone seems to forget about the group over in Al Kharid. Plus you can start gathering some giant keys if you fancy taking on Obor at a later date 👌👌👌
sadly there are no very efficient range training methods in f2p, ogresses give 18k ranged xp/hr at 80 ranged
Yeah F2P is not the most efficient... Jagex has definitely designed it that way. Good place to get started writing guides though. Also there are so many ways to train in members I get lost. Plus I do have a soft spot for F2P from when I used to play back in the day 😅
@@TheLumbridgeKnight 😅
Yeah i started on RuneScape Classic with a 32 kbps dial up modem 😅 makes me feel old…
Can you level up range on mage tower with the lesser demon? or its a bad idea (i am level 1 ranged and new player)
Hello Benjamin Navarro! Hope you're enjoying OSRS bud! You can train on the lesser demon if you want. However, unless you have 33 magic to cast telekinetic grab, you wont be able to get any drops and you will lose all of your arrows. Plus at level 1 range you will use a lot of arrows to kill the demon (as you will hit a lot of zeros). When it comes to enemies you want to look for more than just good safe spots. Enemies with a low Defence and high HP are good because they maximise your DPS, and the higher your DPS the higher your Exp. Hope that makes sense 😅 Welcome aboard & good luck with your training! 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks for the advice, i really don´t know much about defence on mobs but i practice magic to lvl 40 casting the first spell on lesser demon because it was cheap but not faster enough :), i will follow your guide, nice video!
Yeah theres a lot to OSRS behind the scenes. My videos generally show some of the most efficient methods so you don't have to do the research yourself 👍 Good luck on your OSRS journey bro!
Greater demons drop rune full helms
Indeed they do! Unfortunately the only greater demons are in the wilderness right?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight yessirrr
What if iron arrows are the same price as mithril? Lol
If you're buy from a vendor then do a world switch to keep the cost down. Buy 50 arrows on one world, then go to the next one, check that the store has full stock and do the same again. Repeat this until you have the right quantity you want. Unless you have tones of money and don't care that is... 😅😅😅
Chickens can't even hit you I think
ankous
Mith arrows 3gp nowadays lol
Ahh I always think of it in terms of a HCIM buying arrows from the stores. 3 gp on the GE... they used to be 60! damn! 😅 Thanks for the comment brother!👍
Masicistscape
😂😂😂😂 its certainly feels like that at times 😂😂😂
Afking in barbarian sewers not an option?
Yo Milan Van Welden, great question/suggestion, 100% you could AFK using the flesh crawlers (floor 2) or the giant spiders (floor 3). The only reason i didnt consider these guys in the guide is that they have higher ranged defence than the other monsters. My first thought was to train ranged to 99 in SOS, but while these guys would still be easy enough to kill and can be done AFK, if you are willing to click once or twice every couple of minutes your DPS versus my suggested monsters would be technically higher. Plus you will get some better drops from the monsters in my methods, particularly useful if you are playing as an ironman. Be a good thing to compare the exp rates and to be honest an AFK based guide would be really useful as in reality not many people are going to be able to click all the way to 99. Though, for me personally, I'd recommend going members when you hit base 50, 99 in F2P would be very time consuming.
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks! indeed an AFK combat guide for both F2P and P2P would be a great video and useful for a lot of us
I dislike how you say money, good guide tho
Harsh! 😂😂😂 I’ll work on my pronunciation! I guess the presentation voice needs some attention! If you watch my prayer guide (wip) please have pitty I was dying from flu while trying to hit my deadline 😂😂😂 Thanks for the feedback Leo! 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Haha I can get behind that. Will do once it comes out :)
Who are these guides for? People are leaving the game not joining. And only crazy ppl go for 99 in f2p
Hello Instalocktaka! Thanks for the comment bro! Erm I do agree it’s a tall order going for 99 in F2P but there’s a surprising amount of people going for it 🤷🏻♂️
Equally these guides have been getting some really good responses. Plus it just made sense to me to make F2P guides first before looking at members content in depth because there’s way more ways to do things in members so it will take a lot more time to research and learn.
Also I’m not sure people are leaving the game. www.misplaceditems.com this site claims to track the player count and OSRS is on an upward trend, which would makes sense considering the game just launched on steam recently. I think a lot of people drop in and out, not doubt but I don’t think the player base is declining?
nahh get to 20 at cows for ranged, thenhead to barb ville pit and go down ladder and train defense there instead with melee. faster than getting it with ranged. def is def either way. so use melee for it since its faster. also because at the minotaurs u get free iron arrows =]
Yeah definitely recommend training defence with melee. A lot of people have recommended the minotaurs because of the arrow drops 👍 Thanks for the comments 👍
and u never mentioned needing 40 defense at all in the beginning. nor does this guide get u 40 defense
You need 40 defence to wear Green D’hide. I literally say ‘you need defence levels, I recommend level 40, at about 0:42 seconds into the video…
Great guide! I’ll use it when I train range on my series! 🫡
Hello MaxsMillion! Cheers man! Glad it will help! Good luck on series and thanks for the comment and feedback dude 👍👍👍
Dude i spent like 2 hours killing mossy giants, & got 0 KEYS! 🔑 👎
LIKE... WTF?
Aww sorry brother! RNG can be a brutal mistress 😔 I hope your luck changes 🍀🍀🍀
@TheLumbridgeKnight haha thanks
