New for fun speedrun I created that's a bit too RNG heavy to be a serious run. But I had a blast with it regardless.
-Rules to start out:
-Time starts once you land on the Lumbridge lodestone.
-No items or starting money, Untradeables are okay but you have to retrieve them.(deposit required cash & you have to speak to NPC that you would get item from.)
-Turn off quick tele.(can turn on once you buy viswax and add charges.)
-No MTX, or Weekly / Monthly events like oyster.
-More to be added as discussed or if I miss something critical.
So I explain my thoughts behind this run in the first part of the video but I'll go ahead and reiterate it here as well.
I've loved watching speedruns ever since I found out about the hobby via early 2011-2012 GDQ and ESA clips. Ever since I try to watch every event now days with my wife and kids.
However, I really wanted to try a speedrun. My main thing was I didn't necessarily go with one of my old time favorite games like SMB, SM64, Pokemon Emerald, ect. I really wanted to try my hand at routing something. In comes Runescape, which I have played since 2002. The runs on RS are pretty limited to making new accounts and running quests, which makes the most sense as far as a clean even slate goes. I wanted to somehow use my Maxed account. As such I came up with this very RNG and more "fun" category of From Scratch to 10m.
I'm hoping we get a couple more people who give routing this run a shot and seeing how fast they can drop the time, I think we could have a fun small community trying figuring out different options.
If not thats fine as well, I really enjoyed the process and will try picking up another game to run in the future.
Thanks for reading!
