There were even notes in my bow string running money-making strategies that were stapled to one page. To summarize, I spent many months stumbling among the fields of RuneScape gold flax and spinning and the bank of Seers' Village in complete monotony after which I successfully rewired my brain to have fun. The end result was the summer I spent developing my Construction skills. It was well worth it.

It's fascinating to examine the diverse playstyles I've engaged in over the years; From running through bosses or running a roleplaying group to a long list of skills in order to achieve an achievement.

Today, I like to take my time and not use anything that might boost my base XP yield, so I can fully enjoy the long journey to levelling up. I usually read while doing so . It's relaxing to have the clink of my mattock or pickaxe as background noise.

What keeps me coming back to RuneScape is the feeling it gives me as a living entity, always evolving with new challenges , locations and challenges. Then there are the tools of the interwoven tapestries, which bring the different aspects of gameplay together, allowing me to move from making runestones to finding dinosaurs. My personal favorite is Archaeology because of the way it connects lore discovery with excellent skill progression.

When it comes to RuneScape legends, never forget the questlines. In this game, I've experienced gothic terror as well as epic fantasy, and cheap OSRS GP one man's dream of baking a cake. I'll never forget the hours of my time in the Temple of Light, even as I'm sometimes wishing I could. Then there's Old School RuneScape through which I can take a time trip back to the first game I discovered and fell in love with.
