Spark the flame, light the way. Ok, so Firemaking in OldSchool RuneScape isn’t the noblest or most heroic skill. Instead of wielding Ancient Magicks, slaying dragons, or bringing peace to the kingdom… you’re just lighting fires. But don’t let that...
Do you have the heart of a spellcaster? In OldSchool RuneScape, the key reagent in all magic spells is the rune. For years, the only source of runes was seasoned wizards and witches in magic shops, which isn't exactly an efficient supply chain. Cue...
Some folks look down on Crafting. Perhaps they think if you're not producing food to keep heroes alive or forging molten metal into implements of war, you're wasting your time. Their loss, I suppose. It's easy to dismiss Crafting as just another time-consuming skill...
Potions clink softly in your backpack — insurance for a fight you know will eventually come. The only light that guides you through the cave is the dangerous, orange glow of lava roiling through fissures in the surrounding walls. The man (or perhaps beast?) of molten...
In the realm of Gielinor, there exists a pantheon of deities to call upon for power and protection. The pantheon is split into the archetypical deities of Order (Saradomin), Chaos (Zamorak), and Balance (Guthix), but you don't necessarily have to worry yourself with...
Runes. The keys to arcane powers and abilities beyond the ken of mere mortals. No, the game isn't Run Escape. It's RuneScape — and with good reason. The magic in OldSchool RuneScape may be dated, but when you're slinging spells and...
Across all cultures and planes of existence, from our grounded reality to the far-flung reaches of fantasy, food is a universal constant. It's a language that speaks straight to the heart by taking the expressway from the stomach. And in OldSchool...
The singing swing of a keenly honed blade sets the blood to dancing in the veins like nothing else. From time immemorial, great warriors have risen to do battle with the monsters that plague humankind, whether they were literal beasts in the forests and vales or...
Ah, the bow and arrow. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. The Ranged skill in OldSchool RuneScape is a fundamental part of the combat triangle. It's a powerful skill often overshadowed by the showy excess of a massive two-handed sword or flashy...
Swing your pick, let it sing. For ore and gems and wealth it brings. Also, experience points — which you may find to be the most valuable treasure of all. Even in the F2P realm, you can enjoy a full virtual career of extracting raw resources from Gielinor's...
The ringing sound of a hammer and anvil at work is a gossamer sort of music — sharp but delicate, piercing but brief. Perhaps you agree and could likewise wax poetic in pages of exalting prose. Of course, superheated metal isn't the sort of thing a writer interacts...
Back in my day, we had to beg our parents for a RuneScape subscription. Some of us even mailed(!) our subscription payments all the way to the UK. It's quite a bit easier nowadays, but a lot of Runescape players are still unsubbed (also called free-to-play/F2P). No...
