Metal weapons that aren't the scimitar, or used for a special attack are also dead content. Who is going to use a rune longsword, if they have a rune scimitar?
@@2changJRPGmusic That is only because ironmen have a really hard time getting a rune scimitar. If it was easy for them to get a rune scimitar, then they wouldn't use the rune sword or rune longsword. Here is an example of how bad the balance is in OSRS. The sarachnis cudgel needs 5 more attack levels to wield than the dragon scimitar, and it has 3 more accuracy, and 4 more strength. Both are the same speed of 4 ticks. The new zombie axe needs 5 more attack levels to wield than the dragon longsword, and it has 36 more accuracy, and 36 more strength than the dragon longsword. Both have a speed of 5 ticks.
@@Sir_Lagg_A_Lotthe point of the zombie axe is to be a power crept weapon for ironman to bridge the gap between d scim and whip. As an iron I am happy itas in the game and itsna great qol improvement for mt account. Mains just buy a whip anyway so its not even a conern for most of them.
The Sad part is Mixes wouldn't be dead content if they just made them be able to hold 4 doses a potion. Even if you had to use 1 set of eggs per a dose it would still be worth it.
Some dead content that was a legit money maker back in 2006 are the thieving chests in a house in Ardy's centre square. There are two chests, one gives a nature rune and like 50gp, the other gives about 200gp. The chests 'respawn' about every 20 seconds if i remember rightly. I thieved thousands of nature runes there and it was always busy. it even had it's own random event that would shoot poison gas making everyone run away
Or just make stuff worthwhile for everyone, I'm tired of jagex catering to either iron men or no lifers who play 24/7. why don't they add worthwhile prizes for / rework dead content that all levels can enjoy, like castle wars and games room? I hate having so much fun dead content in the game that never gets revamped while they add in stuff like raids which 99 percent of players will never touch
Idk just get some of the old content revamped in anyway. I don't even play at all anymore I only watch TH-cam but It'd still be nice to see some of the old Nostalgia spots givin some love.
They do that in rs3, the dead content stays dead and content that would just be quiet dies because why bother when it’s not doubled. It’s like a final nail in the coffin
So much content has been added to replace something or to be a solution to something like runecrafting just for the original content to become redundant
stamina mix is actually useful for rev caves pking, only 2 dose but that is usually plenty for a fight and the extra 12 heals is minimal but better than 0
I'm confused by the comments on dorgesh chest thieving being bad experience. The rich chests are over 200k xp/hr which is extremely good and honestly chill.
fight pit used to be fun but its a good tele to get to fight caves/inferno and the diary task of course. u can also get friends and fight w barrows gear to get that 2006 feeling again 🥰
I recently had to do skullball for a clue and had never even heard of it before lol was hoping that would be in the video Also remember trying to get the +1 cooking food from the gourmets, and being absolutely lost when I realized there is some convoluted math involved that no one knows
There is one flatpack worth making, the chef's delight keg flatpack is worth a lot more than it costs to produce, so you can sacrifice it to Death's Coffer and save your GP on death fees.
I used to train construction with flatpacks. I collected thousands of the things lol. I also remember getting really expensive flatpacks on the GE super cheap. Like an opulent table was about 6k but if you made it yourself it was hundreds of K
i have bought flat packs on accs with lower construction to build the max wardrobes and chests to store all my outfits. especially for like the cape rack and stuff some of those need 90+ con and if u only 83 well..
rat pits is actually dead, theres some content outside of the minigame like filling the pole and getting the cat training medal but that’s about it. teleing to the rat pits is probably the only useful thing
Rat pits is still used by ironmen because it makes your kitten turn into an adult cat much faster. Therefore allowing you a source of death runes from west ardy
If it weren't for Dungeoneering or Fist of Guthix, I never would have made an rs3 account. Played enough to get to them, but it wasn't the same. I really miss them from rs2. Rune Spikeshield my beloved...
Barbarian mixes are not dead content at all for ironmen, they give a lot of extra herblore xp out of the many useless pots you make and can even be done 0 time while barb fishing
Osrs team are amateurs in making content dead most of it is just RS2 content that didn't got updated, meanwhile RS3 team is on their top game of making stuff irelevant last few months. Pretty sure that's why they move some devs from RS3 to OSRS right now. Just to list few achievments of theirs: - They made 3 combat styles basically irelevant by releasing overtuned 4th style that was fairly easy and cheap to itemize for 6 months ago and still not buffed the other three styles at all. (They are working on it.) - They are completely screwed for content because they had multiple months of mtx shit for hero pass made before they had to scrap it because 25% of their remaining playerbase quit within days of hero pass release. So there is currently bit of a content drought. (I gotta say those graphical updates to old zones are nice though, 10 years late but still nice.) - Last boss release which was "Vorkath but RS3" was released with really mid loot and basically no chase items making it most dissapointing boss release since Rex matriarchs. (which at least brought bis rings) - Our roadmap is literally valid till like May and in it we have easter event (who fucking expected that around easter?), combat style rebalance and few quests at best.
Iron man mode killed all the group necessity beyond achievements and completionists. We'll never have the group minigames we used to have without the reward becoming a necessary milestone in an iron man's account, and that's why content dies.
You know, RuneScape does have dead content BUT I don’t think any game makes as much evergreen content as OSRS. Other MMOs makes all content dead anytime new content comes out.
Yeah a game like RuneScape can only last for so long, they say that Free to play is basically ded Real players are intensely difficult to find instead it's just bot farms endless bot farms
1. They do, just sell it cheaper. 3. matter of luck like in most cases, in last shown trade you made money. Also if you get them for free, then your not really losing money either. Also usually dead content means no one can do it, but most of these listed are something that can be done since they don't require anyone one but the player themself. In a same way single player game that no one plays, cannot be consider dead since it can still be play, unlike many multiplayers that have their servers shut down.
In the old days, we didn't care if an area was good exp or not. We hung out there just because.

Unfortunately, everything is about the rewards, rather than having fun.
Should have added gnomeball and the games room in Burthorpe.
It's a shame that Trouble Brewing is dead content because it was a genuinely fun PvP game mode that wasn't about killing other players.
Only thing really keeping it alive is anyone doing it for collection log slots I believe. :/

LMS should have been remastered fight pits instead of a whole new separate thing. Final nail in the coffin.
The only use I found for mixes personally is using the anti poison ones for getting zaros kc on magers for nex since they can poison you often.
Flatpacks are still nice for costume room upgrades, can max evrything in there just from buying it of the ge.
I used to play Skullball before the rooftop courses! Fun times.
Getting chompy hats is also dead but I spent days to become a dragon archer
All the content mention is also dead in RS3. I doubt life come into the content in ethier game.
