M any OSRS beginners are wondering how to start making tons of gold, so that they can buy high-tier gear, and enjoy the game like the rest of the end-game players. Actually there are many methods to start making money, but in my opinion most of them are not worth it, based on the time needed, the complexity, how boring they are, and the low. Land's End is a small village in Great Kourend that is located in the south-western corner of the kingdom, within the kingdom's Woodland. Players can reach Land's End via Port Sarim or Port Piscarilius by speaking to Veos, and can leave the village via the small port where Captain Magoro is. Sep 13, 2017 Talk to Veos and travel to Lands End Walk to raids. When you get here, talk to the Mountain Guide east of the bank and you won't have to walk here next time. Stat Requirements. 90+ 85+ 85+ 45+ Somebody on the team needs 30+ for storage chest; Somebody on the team needs 90+ (or 75+) for overloads 25% of the team needs 78 for brews.
Old School RuneScape Leagues have arrived! Leagues is a brand new game mode. Each League offers a different spin on the game, challenging your knowledge and skill in ways you never imagined!
In this first League, The Twisted League, you’ll be playing as an Ironman restricted to Kebos & Kourend. As with future Leagues, you'll be racing to complete tasks and score points in order to unlock Relics and rewards that you can show off in the main game!
To start your Twisted League adventure, simply log into any of the worlds marked in green on the world selector page. Upon your first login into Twisted League, you will start off on Tutorial Island with fresh stats. Completing (or skipping) Tutorial Island will land you at the Kourend Castle Courtyard where you will meet the League Tutor and begin the challenge for real.
Following the release of the Twisted League we have made a few alterations to the content based on your feedback. Please note these changes will only affect the Twisted League worlds, not the main game.
Changelist:
- The sandworms at Port Piscarilius have had their respawn timer reduced
- Players can now unlock Slayer boss tasks from Konar
- Bakery stalls now show the updated version when empty
- We've fixed an issue where random events would sometimes fail to return users to the spot they came from and instead teleport them to Kourend Courtyard, thinking that they had escaped Kourend and Kebos
Read on for more information about the Twisted League.
Words from the Team
'My role in the development of the Twisted League was focused around the design of Relics, tasks and rewards. This involved doing research into training methods on Zeah and what it would be like to be locked to Kourend and Kebos as an Ironman.
I also worked on implementing core mechanics such as preventing accounts from leaving the designated zone, unlocking key quests, and adding all the League-specific content changes to the Information interface.
Designing the Relics was the most fun. We really wanted players to feel the effect of their new power, for it to be fun and, most importantly, for it to be a hard choice. I feel confident that as a team we've achieved those goals. I look forward to seeing the reactions from players as they unlock each subsequent tier of Relics to see all the crazy power ups they have to choose from. Even now, during the week leading up to Leagues, I have changed my mind at least three times on which starting Relic I want to go with. I look forward to revealing the stats for which Relics have been selected the most for each tier.'
-Mod Husky (@JagexHusky)
'I started my work on Leagues by discussing the Relic design with Mod Husky and helping out in the overall core design process, including the side panel that can be opened at any time to check your progress. I also provided feedback and aided the balancing process to get the game pace and general flow of Leagues right. I am very happy with the end result and I cannot wait to play it together with all of you!'
-Mod Flippy (@JagexFlippy)
'My role in the development team on the Twisted League has been less focused on the Twisted League itself, and more on the concept of Leagues as a whole, looking at the systems that support it and make it all possible. These generic systems are the things that will make future Leagues possible with significantly less work than the Twisted League, as the same foundations can be used with different sets of tasks to complete and different Relics available.'
-Mod Lenny (@JagexLenny)
'My role in the Twisted League was primarily the development of the system that allows League Points and rewards to be transferred into the main game. I also did general HiScore administration that allows players’ League Points to be recorded on the HiScores page so players can see where they rank as they progress through the League. I also made the engine changes for the in-game world selector page that allows players to log into the League worlds.'
-Mod Boko (@JagexBoko)
'My job was to break as much stuff as possible so the developers could make sure it was all fixed before the release date. I spent the early days of Leagues testing trying to escape Zeah by using the PoH, spellbooks, jewellery teleports, and even random events.
I remember Mod Husky tried to force players to complete the Leagues Tutor dialogue and every time I logged in with a new account that had not completed it, I was teleported across the map and forced to complete the dialogue over and over again no matter what I did. I had to complete it about five hundred times.'
-Mod Curse (@JagexCurse)
'My role for the Leagues project was to create a variety of cosmetic rewards that could be obtained from the mode. I was very excited to start making them as a few of them had been heavily requested before and it’s always great to see player suggestions make it into the game. Although one of my favourite rewards failed the poll, there was still quite a demand for it and I’d imagine these will get requested again in the future, perhaps for a different type of update.
Being an Ironman player myself, I took the opportunity to playtest a little of the early-game of the Twisted Leagues and it was incredibly fun - if you’ve never played an Ironman account but have been interested in the past, this is the best way to get into it!'
-Mod West (@JagexWest)

Please note, there are some Slayer unlocks which will not work in this League. We do not want to give out Konar's Slayer task list but anything on it can be extended if it has an unlockable extension. The only unlocks that will work are red dragons and lizardmen.

- Travel to the Fairy Ring south of Mount Karuulm
- Cast Monster Examine on a troll south of Mount Quidamortem
Tasks are a collection of goals and achievements which can be completed in the League. These tasks can be for various activities such as skilling, obtaining drops, killing creatures, completing quests or even playing minigames. Completion of a task will award a number of League Points which can be used to unlock Relics and other rewards. Tasks will range from Easy to Master tiers where Easy tasks are considered simple and Master tasks are considered extremely difficult.
Below is a list of League Points you can obtain when completing tiered tasks:
League Points
- Easy: 10 Points
- Medium: 50 Points
- Hard: 100 Points
- Elite: 250 Points
- Master: 500 Points
Want to see the full task list? Check the Twisted League Task Interface in-game or head over to the Official Wiki.
Relics are a Leagues specific source of buffs which are unlocked with League Points. Relics can be boosts to XP, buffs to combat prowess, additional luck when obtaining drops, or even buffs to specific skilling activities. Upon leaving Tutorial Island you will be presented with three Relics to choose from without the need for points. This will allow you to choose which strategy you want to use in the League and give you incentive to strive for the next set of Relic options. Once you choose a Relic you will be locked in and will no longer be able to change your Relic selection for that tier. Choose wisely.
Below are the first three Relics you will get to choose from when entering Kourend and Kebos:
Abyssal Accumulator
- You have an 85% chance to not consume any ammunition fired (chinchompas excluded)
- You have an 85% chance to not consume runes when casting any spell
Endless Endurance
- Your run energy will never drain whilst running
- Your hitpoints restores 4 times as quickly
Dark Altar Devotion
- Bones dropped by creatures are automatically buried and award 4x XP, this stacks with any existing XP multipliers
- Ensouled heads now drop 2 at a time
- Your prayer drains at 1/2 the speed
As you unlock more Relic options, the buffs become more powerful. To unlock them you will have to continue gaining League Points by completing tasks. Below is a list of the points needed to unlock the different Relic tiers:
- 2nd Relic: 400
- 3rd Relic: 1,200
- 4th Relic: 2,500
- 5th Relic: 5,000
It will take grit, strategy and perseverance to reach the top of our brand new HiScores table. Points are given for completing tasks, with harder tasks offering more points. The more tasks you complete, the higher you’ll climb!
If you finish at the top of the leaderboard you will be crowned Champion of the Twisted League.
On top of having a new HiScores page we have also introduced League Firsts. League Firsts are awarded to the player who is first to complete the League’s most impressive feats. These will be represented in-game on the noticeboard next to the League Tutor. There will be no extra rewards or points for achieving a League First, although pride is its own reward!

The Old School Team
Runescape was originally released to the public on the 4th of January 2001. This is when the first version of Runescape was released, where the game was a lot more different than how we currently see it today. However, Runescape 3 was only known as “Runescape 3” after a very big, game-changing update called the “Evolution of Combat”.
This update was released to the public on the 20th of November 2012. It completely changed the combat mechanics and added a whole lot of brand-new features such as abilities, which were not in the game before. Runescape 3 had a sharp downwards slope of the player base as time went on after the Evolution of Combat update as most players decided that it simply was not the game they used to love and enjoy anymore.
The uniqueness of Runescape was thought to have faded away as it began to phase into any other typical MMO out there.
The Old School Runescape was originally released to the public on the 22nd of February 2013. The game was the original Runescape game in its 2007 form. This was released after popular demand and a petition to bring back the old version of the game to a point where it had provided peak entertainment and enjoyment to everyone.

Jagex decided to keep the game separate to Runescape 3 as that game still had a small active player base. Old School Runescape gained mass popularity very quickly and popular content creators on the YouTube platform such as KSI, Syndicate, and more, are creating videos based on the game.
This goes to show how well known the game truly was at its peak 2007 stage. Jagex had made their greatest ever business decision by reopening this version of the game again.
Players were flooding in, eager to relive their childhood favorite game with all their friends again. The release of Old School RuneScape Mobile on the 30th of October 2018 had also helped bring in a load of new players into the game.
As this was a mobile app, many people from the mobile community were newly introduced to the game, which was very good news for Jagex as their usual typical player base are people who have been playing for many years.
With RuneScape Mobile, they gained more attention and players are able to choose to play their favorite game on their computers or wherever they might be with their mobile devices.
Why play Runescape 3?
Osrs Lands End Hill Giants
So, why should you play Runescape 3? Although there will never be enough reasons to persuade someone to “like” a game, this is completely player preference, which someone else can never change. Here are some reasons that you may like to play Runescape 3.
Firstly, Runescape 3 follows the style of a lot of other MMO’s out there. This is through features like the combat mechanics, using attack abilities with your hotkeys. If you are someone who enjoys this type of playstyle, then Runescape 3 will be a good choice for a player like you.
Another reason why you may like Runescape 3 is that it is actually the original game, so if you were someone who had played the game many years ago, your progress and items would still be there. Many players do not wish to restart their progress and so they find it easy to just simply carry on playing Runescape 3.
You may also prefer RS3 as the game has more skills that are unique to the game compared to Old school Runescape.
For example, Runescape 3 contains skills such as the Divination or Invention skill, which Old school Runescape does not have. This can make the game more fun and interesting, especially for players who have already maxed out the other skills.
Why play Old School Runescape?
How To Get To Lands End Osrs

There are several reasons why you should play the Old school Runescape. Firstly, if you were a player who had played the game many years ago, back when it was originally in its 2007 form, you may find Old school Runescape very nostalgic, allowing you to relive your childhood.
The game is also getting reasonably updated in a way where it can keep its nostalgic form, while bringing out new, exciting updates.
For example, new bosses, items, and new lands are being released however it does not get rid of the “Old School” theme of the game. Another large reason that many people prefer Old school Runescape over RS3 is that Runescape 3 has a heavily inflated experience level injection.
For example, double exp periods are something that you will only find in Runescape 3 and not in Old School Runescape. Many players find that double exp periods can actually ruin the game slightly as it kills the idea of working hard for gaining levels. You will never see these events occurring in Old School Runescape as Jagex developers have personally stated.
Another reason many people choose Old school Runescape over RS3 is because of the large community there is. The player base is incredibly larger than RS3’s player base so there is more space to socialize with other players in the game. Content creators on YouTube also mostly play Old School Runescape, so you will naturally be given more guides, tutorials, and fun videos to watch, which may drive you towards playing Old School Runescape more compared to Runescape 3.
Final Thoughts
Overall, there are massive differences between Old School Runescape and Runescape 3, hence Jagex creating them as two separate games. The economy is also heavily different. This can be seen on Runescape gold sites like Probemas, where the price of RS3 gold is significantly lower than OSRS gold. This shows that there is a lot more gold in RS3 than there is in OSRS.
However, gold prices should not really be a reason for players to switch their game preference unless your main focus is to make real money.
In the end, no game is “better” than the other, but OSRS is definitely more played in the community and is down to your personal preference. We have curated a list of the best devices to run such progams/games. Read more at Tech Consumer Guide.
