Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is more than just a nostalgic MMORPG—it's a living, breathing sandbox where your journey is entirely your own. Whether you're a brand-new adventurer or a returning veteran, this complete beginner's guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from creating your account to stepping into raids and endgame challenges.
A Brief History of OSRS
RuneScape began in 1999 as a browser-based game called DeviousMUD, created by the Gower brothers. Over time, it evolved into RuneScape Classic, then RuneScape 2, and eventually RuneScape 3.
In 2013, Jagex released a preserved 2007 version of the game—now known as Old School RuneScape. What started as a nostalgic throwback quickly became a thriving MMORPG with weekly updates and one of the most dedicated player communities in gaming.
Since then, OSRS has expanded with:
The Grand Exchange (2015) – A player-driven trading hub
Ironman Modes (2014–2021) – Including Hardcore and Group Ironman

If you've ever wondered why Path of Exile players sound unhinged half the time, this is why.
One moment you're calling every outcome before it happens. The next, you're frozen, mana-drained, one-shot, or watching a boss fly away while you stand there questioning your life choices. And somehow, in the middle of all that misery, POE goods hands you the biggest drop of your entire career.
This is Path of Exile at its purest.
"I Knew It" – When PoE Confirms Your Worst Fears
There's a special kind of dread PoE veterans feel—the kind where you know something bad is about to happen.
You don't see it.
You don't understand it.
But you feel it.
And then it happens anyway.
You freeze an enemy… and they fly away.
You dash in confidently… and instantly die.
You think you've won… and the boss survives at one HP.
PoE has a talent for making players feel both outplayed and personally targeted at the same time.
Diabolical Mechanics and Mana Nightmares
Some deaths feel fair.

Not because they're difficult to execute—but because you'd never think to try them. This guide breaks down advanced map knowledge across multiple zones, showcasing hidden loot spots, silent alternatives to breach rooms, and movement tech that quietly gives you an advantage in every raid.These aren't beginner tips or basic loot routes. This is the kind of knowledge that separates experienced raiders from everyone else.Dam Battlegrounds: High-Value Hidden Loot and Vertical ControlEast Broken Bridge Drop-Down Loot SpotOne of the best-kept secrets on Dam Battlegrounds is the hidden drop-down loot spot at the east broken bridge. By edging carefully to the right and continuously spamming jump, you can mantle into a concealed interior area.

To explore this reality, one OSRS gold player set himself a brutal challenge: live for a week as if he were a real-life Venezuelan gold farmer, with RuneScape GP directly determining whether he could eat, pay bills, or even afford a date night.The rules were simple and unforgiving. His real-life bank account started at $0. Food, rent, utilities, and daily expenses could only be “earned” through OSRS buy gold GP. If he didn't make gold, he didn't eat.Converting GP Into RealityUsing current black-market rates—around $0.26–$0.29 AUD per million GP—the numbers quickly became sobering. A $3 loaf of bread? Roughly 12 million GP. A kilogram of rice? Around 8–9 million GP. Daily rent and utilities, based on Venezuelan averages, worked out to roughly $8 per day—about 27–30 million... less
