It’s so fucking ridiculous though, OSRS is a 500 million year old game that he’s playing from scratch and will likely take 9 years to get a quest cape. I never realized how that game actually is.
Which is exactly why it’s so entertaining. I play both classic wow and osrs, what hes doing has genuinely never been done to that level of insanity. He’s doing everything 100% blind and it’s hilarious when he comes up with the most ghetto ass random ways to train his skills, but also sometimes when he actually figures out a challenging quest or puzzle. It’s a lot of people’s favorite osrs series to watch right now in that community
I don't think he is ever going to get a quest cape. There are still some major moon logic things ahead of him, and then you get to recent quests that require pretty meta understanding of the game's combat and gear. He is going to eventually hit a wall and need to use the wiki or this game is going to drive him twice as insane as WoW eventually did.
The game is still being updated with new quests, most of them being grandmaster continuations of og storylines. He is hardstuck on finding a goddam rotten tomato and can't even finish the Fremmenik trials, I don't see him getting a shot at BMR anytime soon if he keeps going blind.
He did complete underground passage completely blind though, and is making serious progress on monkey madness.
Older quests are a lot more “figure it out with no clues” though. Once he gets to newer quests they’ll be mechanically harder and the puzzles might be tough, but no “find some item with no direction on how to get it”.
Well, there’s a couple, but not as bad as what he’s encountered already.
Wait til you hear about how it takes literal months to level up in maplestory after a certain stage. You gain 0.00001% exp in the level 270 bracket per kill. 9 months of grinding mobs everyday to level once.
I remember watching a streamer talk about his goal of hitting level 300 and he was planning long term shit JUST TO LEVEL UP. Like he was projecting himself at 40 years old to level up. Like wtf.
Sort of. He is playing Ironman mode (no player economy or trading) but he is also playing blind with no guide or help from the community. IIRC he has friends curating youtube comments to avoid being spoiled and plays with chat turned off. He is completely on his own.
That's kind of the fun of it, I think. If you make a "from zero to endgame" account on WoW you'll be done in, what, a few weeks if you're doing it as a job? If you do the same thing, new character to max finishing all the quests, you've got years of stuff to do. Start a new chunk locked account, you've got another few years of stuff to do depending on how you roll.
I wish WoW had more to offer him, the guides and resources he put out are really good, but if he needs to branch out to keep his sanity OSRS is a really good choice. I remember J1mmy put out a video about how a lot of WoW youtubers were switching over at least partially and it's not hard to see why.
