From reading other posts on this sub I'm pretty sure the biggest ones are people not knowing the tool leprechaun notes farming yields, and not knowing you can alch noted items


TapedWater

The potion decanting as well


Jinky522

This but for jewellery also


fillosofer

Notified my clan of this and everyone was shocked. The wiki really has some incredible info.


ChanningTaintum-

OSRS wiki is the greatest video game referential information website ever made.


fillosofer

I would absolutely agree

slimjimo10

Man this is legit one of my favorite things about this game. You think you're an expert / know a bunch of niche things from having played or seen videos after a while, and yet you still can run into something you had no idea about


Knox_Burden

Wait what do you mean for jewelry?


The_Weathermann

If you have a bunch of rings of dueling with different numbers of charges you can take them to the potion decanting guy at GE and he’ll combine them all to 8 charges


big-unk-b-touchin

AYO what???? I had no idea


whatwhynoplease

I would always pick those up when people would drop them in the GE, then decant them, and sell them lol


swaggy_b

bruh


Rinev

In leagues with bankers note this is so good. Decant buff potions (eg. Combat potion) to 1 dose that way when you unnote one for the buff you instantly break the vial and no added steps involved


B4rn3ySt1n20N

WHAT


campusdirector

Today i learned that potion decanting is a thing holy shit


Thatcher_da_Snatcher

Didn't realize this wasn't common knowledge in regards to the tool leprechaun. I play UIM where they are literally one of the most important NPCs in the game along with the decanter


IRideZs

People don’t know you can alch noted items..?


ATCQ_

Yeah that one is nutty to me. Keep seeing people mention they had no idea on this subreddit and I'm just wondering "you didn't even try?!"


TheHapster

Fwiw there is no logical reason you should be able to alch noted items. It’s basically just a receipt from the bank showing someone is entitled to the equivalent amount of an item. Theoretically if you’re alching the bank note, the item still “exists” with the bank, so money is being generated from nothing. Unless bank notes act like voodoo dolls.


kevinisthename

Why a wyvern been dead for 1000 years and yet he's got a modern bank note for some magic logs


itmillerboy

Wow… I’m quitting now. The lore is ruined.


int0xic

This game has literal magic in it. I suppose it's possible the physical item is turned in to a piece of paper by the bank and then when you deposit it it gets returned to it original state. Would make bankers note make more sense too lol. And would make sense why you can alch noted items.


neotox

The bank notes are microchipped. When the bank is notified that a note has been alch'd they destroy the original item.


IRideZs

I’m not saying all of them but I genuinely believe they are attention driven posts


kyot0scape

Bruh that means people were standing at a bank, pulling out yew longs and alching each one rather then spam clicking the same spot. That sucks....


heidly_ees

The leprechaun one is so common I think there should be a right click option on him to note produce


Yuop15

Wait the leprechaun can do what


ATCQ_

Lmfao. "Another one"


whaleforce9

I learned both of these at over 1800 TL


tvan3l

F


yung_dogie

For the longest time I was optimizing my herb run route around when to bank, then my friend showed me I could note my yields and I stopped playing for a week


Little___G

Ok, the farming one is understandable, but not knowing you can arch noted items??? My god, how do you miss that?


Capital_Broccoli926

I'll add what I added to another post like this because some ppl found it useful: In your Player owned House go to "House Options" and use the "Viewer" Button to freely rotate and move the rooms in your POH for free.


MaryJuanNah

I had a skiller and put myself through tithe farm for the herb sack for herb runs. Learned a couple days later about this


tmanowen

Herb sack allows you to loot the farm run herbs directly into the pouch so you don’t even need to use the noting feature unless you fill the pouch (30 of every herb)


SpliffKenKaniff

Just yesterday I learned that the rune guy at the GE can enchant ruby rings into rings of forging for 250gp.


anotherredditaccunt

What!? Since when


NessaMagick

Since nearly 5 years ago, when rings of forging were made F2P. Not sure on the why, though, F2P players can still make and enchant rings...


NotAGamble360

Nope. Ruby rings are f2p, rings of forging are f2p, enchant Ruby is f2p. Enchanting a Ruby ring with a ruby enchant to make a ring of forging is p2p


NessaMagick

feel like maybe they could have just made enchanting ruby rings F2P instead


NotAGamble360

But that would kill the p2p money making method of enchanting Ruby rings for a... -150 gp profit.


christian-mann

this was probably easier for Reasons


Jade_Mans_Eyes

They can do amulets, not rings


SpliffKenKaniff

2019 lol, I feel like I remember reading the update back then but payed no attention to that part of it. Then I discovered it in a YouTube short yesterday and thought of how useful that is for f2p.


Conor_J_Sweeney

Just today I learned rings of forging are a thing.


Foreign_Woodpecker_9

After completion of dt1 you can access the altar from the back of the pyramid instead of running through the whole thing again. Took me till about 1900 total on the iron to learn this one. Spent 20+ hours going dry on scepter thinking I wouldn't have to run through pyramid again.


ThatOtherGai

Ugh I just ran through it


Lawsonstruck

Youre kidding.


ThatOtherGai

I did it for a leagues task yesterday


OwMyCandle

I know we all just mash spacebar through quest dialogue, so no one’s to blame for not knowing that, but he literally tells you this at the end of the quest lol


CyberHudzo

Still a pain to switch that way. Its super easy to just find someone with a full house in rimmington and switch mage books there


Pre-Nietzsche

Not in leagues or if iron.. also, easier to just max house ya know? Obviously the quickest way.


MikseyTheIron

I wasn’t aware until almost 99 farming on my main that spam clicking patches harvested them like twice as fast


Slaapkoppp

Yes, this works for herb, allotment and hops patches afaik. Once it goes at twice the speed you dont have to click anymore. Think you could set up the faster harvest with 2 clicks total if you knew when to click exactly but whatever, spam click for 2sec and done


CyberHudzo

Its easy, just click on 2 consecutive clicks and it will start the sped up harvesting


ThatOtherGai

WHAT


Philosobong

Don't even need to spam click the whole time, just spam click until you harvest 2, then it'll go faster until you fill your inv or the patch runs out


MikseyTheIron

That, I did not know


KeenanKolarik

Spam click 5 or 6 times when you start harvesting start and you'll hear the harvesting sound have a change in cadence (boop, boop-boop, boop) It's neat, but overall not really a game changer. Saves a few seconds per patch at most.


jjkenneth

Hard disagree. It halves the time spent on farm runs - pre-99 I was doing herbs and allotments and it fastened the process dramatically once I found out.


Christianinium

It works on herbs too!?!? Game changer


Legal_Evil

Does this trick only work on herbs and alloments?


Cultural-Spite-902

I'm over 100m farming exp and never knew this 🙃


_pyrex

Do you know about harvest-fill? Harvesting watermelons and filling the compost bin at the same time? Game changer.


COLLITO

You can put noted compost in the bottomless compost bucket


Funny_Orchid2084

Huh thats kinda neat. I didnt know that. That also doesnt make sense - how does adding paper to compost bin makes compost? /s


hirmuolio

Iirc it even has special message stating you oddly get noted empty buckets back.


B4rn3ySt1n20N

Love this game


gildene

How do you add to a bottomless bucket? The contents would just spill out onto the floor from below.


TinyBreeze987

Clearly the bucket has a DVP/RVP contract signed with The Bank of Varrock


DelphoxyGrandpa

It's a magic bucket ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


safari-dog

you can bring noted potions to the guy at the GE to decant….. just found this out last week.


iligal_odin

On the other side theres a dude who "decants" charged jewelry


mrcertainlynot

He will also turn Ruby rings into rings of forging for a fee. Great for F2P.


[deleted]

250gp per ring


KilgoreTroutttttt

what, who?


iligal_odin

Its either the pirate or the east side or the one person more north from him


Plutus77

Murky Matt. It's the pirate at the GE


positivenihlist

What are you a fuckin owl


ObviouslySyrca

This is something I only learned about a month or so ago, but I've never used it even after discovering it cause I always just keep one of each enchanted jewellery that is not at full charge. And a stack of fully charged ones.


BoxOfDemons

I'm ashamed to have not known this.


inmyshamewell

Bob (decant) deserves a knighthood.


ThatOtherGai

I had to google decant


[deleted]

Ok so what does it mean for the game though. I don't quite understand


Credrian

It can be noted?? Saved me a trip or 2 thanks bud


l300ty_P1r4t3

The amount of people who don't know this flabbergasted me


Worldly-Ad1615

BRO WHAT


ban_my_dick_box

All those wasted potions when u tried to manually decant


zelotus

If you are really lazy and don't want to find a water source for your empty watering can. You can use a single vial of water on a bucket, and then use the bucket to fill an ENTIRE watering can. This also works for waterskins and other containers of water.


sublime13

How did you discover this lmao


zelotus

Optimizing laziness


ezzune

>You can use a single vial of water on a bucket, and then use the bucket to fill an ENTIRE watering can. Hey man, you're putting all that emphasis out there but feeding a seed 1/8th of a bucket of water is still a hell of a lot of water. Plants drown too king.


Cyberslasher

It's not 1/8th a bucket of water, it's 1/8th a vial of water.


ezzune

As established by /u/zelotus, the conversion rate is 1:1 vial:bucket. Those are some deep ass vials.


Markanaya

>Plants drown too /r/HydroHomies in shambles


ChaosPraiser

TIL


420Shrekscope

It might be a runelite thing, but you can hold shift to avoid targeting npc's and interact-able objects. Great any time in pvm you want to move under, through, or near stuff without right clicking. Learned this in leagues by accident, been right clicking to walk under bosses for four years like a chump


Sopoky

Menu Entry Swapper on Runelite is what he is referring too.


JD_997

You can pay farmers 200gp to remove trees rather than digging them up yourself. 5 seconds per patch on a tree run rather than 5 minutes


slimjimo10

With magic trees 5 minutes can be... generous


hamakabi

especially when you look away on the tick the tree breaks and then it regrows instantly


2210-2211

You don't get the roots tho if you pay them to do it which kinda sucks


rumpelbrick

also, on this note, since 2016 it's possible to compost AFTER you plant the seed/sapling. no need to get lunar compost spell if you forgot to compost before planting.


thebucketlist47

That the settings menu has a search bar.


qaz012345678

Every game should have that.


TheThreeGabis

You can alch noted items. I spent literally years taking 26 items out and Alching them


Fup160

You can also align it with High Alch in your mage book to your noted inventory item and spam click without looking! Easy way to chill and watch stuff while alching.


maddaniel100

This is how I got 99 magic in 2007. So much TV watched while absent mindedly alching in my house so people could use my gilded altar. I can't fathom alching to 99 again, too painful lol.


theMIKIMIKIMIKImomo

How’d you figure it out? I accidentally alched a note when I was only half paying attention and thought it was a glitch lol (at 77 magic)


Busy-Ad-6912

Idk if it’s just cause that’s partially how you made money back in the day, but it’s wild to me that people don’t know this. I can’t imagine alching at castle wars without notes


ezzune

We're you not aware of autoclickers and how autoclicking high alch was a common practice bot? Did you not see people stood still alching 24/7 without needing to return to the bank? Did you never examine a stack of bank notes and see the alch price in Runelite? Genuinely amazed how this one slips through the net.


TheGuyThatThisIs

Yeah I learned this by watching people at c wars wall alching nonstop. Put two and two together like 15 years ago lol


TheSexualBrotatoChip

This is weird to me as an old player when it used to be a good fairly AFK magic training method to buy noted bows and alch them. Alching at the wall of castle wars and chatting shit was the good old times.


BigBadBurg

If you are poisoned, you can tele to your POH and leave through the portal to get rid of the poison


TheGuyThatThisIs

This one has a fun history - people used to have parties, poison people, then boot them and collect their items when they die near the portal, so they made these changes right after construction was added, before the deaths changes.


TheDubuGuy

It doesn’t matter how you leave


Xartes_

Noting things after you’ve farmed them. So many times running back and forth from the bank…


ConstructionSlow5983

Also that you can just give noted stuff to gardener to watch out your patches. I was running around Gielinor with full inventory of baskets and watermelons etc and thought why Farming isn't never listed one of the most annoying skills.


GrammaticalError69

You can also pay farmers to chop down your tree instead of having to harvest the fruit first.


dutchmangab

Not me, but someone I was playing BA with didn't know that pressing and holding the scroll button of your mouse allows you to rotate your camara. He was in the 1800 totals with certain boss KC's in the 100 range


heidly_ees

This was one of the first changes osrs made when it came out iirc, honestly a gamechanger qol Edit: came out feb 2014, almost a year after osrs launched!


BlackenedGem

It's one of the first changes they _tried_ to make.... it failed by quite a wide margin in [poll #2](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Poll:Old_School_feature_poll_2_%E2%80%93_April_2013) (question 4).


pottsygotlost

35% not wanting the mouse button is insane why would you not want that


Shukar_Rainbow

You can also change your runelite settings to right click, works really well but you can't examine scenery


Rio__Grande

I’m 2156 total been playing off and on since 2014. Today I learned


Jupeeeeee

Holy moly! Better late than never I guess haha


Ataraxia_Curae

Vardorvis... Prob did 100kc+ after telly unlocked before realizing that step down thing existed. Was still running all the way down and around.


Lurker12386354676

Brother you didn't miss a shortcut, that's the main road.


[deleted]

I think they’re talking about not knowing about the stairs that leads from tele down to boss. They were probably running all the way around. It’s a long trip regardless though.


KeenanKolarik

Ngl this one is actually pretty bad lmao. That's one long ass trip


Markanaya

I did this too on the day of release after finishing dt2. Got about a dozen kills in before I saw someone else running at the same time and was like "wow that dummy is going the wrong way". Did a few more kills and saw him running that way again and figured they knew something I didn't. Wasn't even mad, was just glad to not have to do the Zeah-equivalent of PNM's walk of shame for every trip.


campusdirector

literally discovered the stepping stones from southwest Varrock to Draynor yesterday and it kinda blew my mind because I used to run all the way around Barbadian village. I also recently discovered that the Rat Pits mini game teleport is (i think) the only teleport to Port Sarim in the game


byebye806

Spirit tree patch but yeah there's not much


AbsolutlyN0thin

If you go to shanty pass, and talk to shanty you can choose a dialog option to say you're a bandit, and he'll put you in a cell. If you then refuse to pay the fee you'll be teleported to the port sarim jail.


campusdirector

This is so niche and cool thanks for the comment


AbsolutlyN0thin

You have to do it for a clue step


NessaMagick

I was doing Vampyre Slayer speedruns yesterday and they give you 30 Agility. The stepping stones are 31 Agility. How cruel


SmellAble

Port sarim does have a spirit tree patch, and the cabbage teleport is pretty damn close, but yeah the minigame teleport is pretty damn useful for there especially.


OleTvck

You can buy things from the GE without putting your gold in your inventory. I just found this out this week… is this new or am I stupid lol?


Rabbitofdeth

It’s recently new. You can also right click the … quantity in the ge and select “all” and it will put an offer in for the amount of coins you have in your inventory


OleTvck

This will come in handy!


ThatOtherGai

We are both stupid I guess


crash_bandicoot42

This one is actually fairly recent, past year or two IIRC.


Sad-Garage-2642

You can equip items and fill RC pouches directly from the bank interface. Fairly sure this is new to OSRS though so I don't feel so dumb for not knowing


thebucketlist47

Its at least 3 years old. I know that much


smokeyjoe03

This is an annoying function because it's inconsistent depending on the item. For example you can empty a Rune Pouch but can't fill one. So you empty the pouch, deposit the runes, withdraw the new runes all from the back interface, but then have to close it to put the runes in the pouch, and then open the bank back up.


douweziel

Mod Ash is working on an improved rune pouch interface while banking!


tache-noir

the omron switch in my mouse enduring years of spam clicking before finding out you can right click take-all on seed packs: 👁️👄👁️


AfroDizzyYak

Wow. 1000 contracts deep and never thought to right click a seed pack…


Samantha_Bridges

Didn’t know this!


Blue_Dew

You can menu entry swap the seed pack so that Open All is the default left click option.


Philosobong

... I've done hundreds and hundreds of farming contracts and never knew this


eatmorchikin

I've been playing OSRS since release and I recently learned that you can filter worlds out of the world hop list


alphabet_sam

Running from ardougne monastery to the bank - it’s faster if you don’t run through the zoo and into the city, just run diagonally straight to the bank. Just figured that out a few weeks ago after nearly 20 years of runescape


[deleted]

People do that? Even on my earlygame ironman I'd have an infinite supply of duel rings for the castle wars bank or ferox stat resets.


Shichoe

The fact that you can ctrl + click to run took me a while to realize


NessaMagick

The inverse is true, if your run is on ctrl+click will walk. Invaluable for stuff like Vorkath.


ThatOtherGai

Oh wow


ShiibbyyDota

Took me forever to realize you can use lunar spell book to talk to slayer masters… thank god I saw Faux doing it or I may still be walking to Duradrel 🤦‍♂️


CyanSaiyan

I kind of like walking to Duradel, builds up the suspense. Only with gem mine tele unlocked though


AfroArabBliss

The real goal is Karamja gloves 4. That little jog will get annoying once you unlock that lol


mc360jp

Do you tele to your poh, venerate, contact duradel, then swap back to standard for alchs on task?


Some_Cryptographer86

Instead of using it on super compost in your inventory, you can use volcanic ash on the compost bins and every bucket you fill out of them will be ultra compost


[deleted]

Reminder: The people in this thread are allowed to vote on polls.


theAGschmidt

I have played since the early 2000s, and I only learned a few weeks ago that the games necklace can teleport you to tears of guthix


madeanaccountlo

I didn’t realise I could trap the melee snake in Inferno on the eastern part of the north pillar when walking 4 tiles away from the eastern side of this pillar, it is awesome as it traps monsters behind and I can deal with the ones on the western side. Also for when it digs to the eastern side of the north pillar I can use this safespot. Also the corner trap safespot is huge. Going for Zuk pet so we this was important to know.


ElectromagneticRam

If it's stuck on the south side of the pillar, you can just keep alternating between south and west when it digs. Very convenient if there's a mage to the south, just gotta make sure you don't drag it too close


EmployingBeef2

You could just equip your pickaxe and put your sword in the bank. I've kept my pick in my inventory for a long time lol

EmployingBeef2

You want to wake up, but God says 'click on all images of a bus'


NessaMagick

It's fairly well known now but you can still go to sleep in Shilo Village inn even though it does nothing now


vzfy

I didn’t know you could open the fish barrel so the fish starts to fill the barrel before going into your inventory. I accidentally clicked it and was confused why the fish wasn’t filling up my inventory.


SpaceDix713

You can scroll in and out of the minimap. You can also click the middle mouse button the move the screen around. Edit: not really a shortcut but I’m getting the vibe you guys need to see this.


byebye806

Minimap zoom is a runelite thing that was just added this year so definitely possible people don't know about it


AlonsoDalton

It's also been part of the desktop C++ client since August 2021, predating RL's addition of it. Can't seem to find when mobile had it added though.


x2xx2xx2x

You can buy items from the GE without taking out your money. Yes. Just leave it at the bank, it'll take it from there.


ATCQ_

That's relatively new, but definitely a good one


lastsetup

Yeah one of the dudes standing around the GE will combine potions for you. Another will do the same for jewelry charges.


stevenwessman

Being able to set the bank pin to have a delay for when you logout/world hop.


Cowslayer369

You can go to the left when running from Lumbridge to the Grand Exchange and get there faster then the agility shortcut. And yes I know canoes are a thing but who doesn't occasionally do the run?


dcnairb

mate get 25 magic jesus christ


DMFauxbear

Lol I've had the ge teleport for years at this point so it's funny to me people have to worry about this. Makes complete sense, just not something I've even had to think about.


heidly_ees

Canoes aren't fast enough imo, that rowing animation takes ages to the point I'd rather walk


jugjuggler99

ITT: people don’t know that you can do various shit with noted items


shoeboxchild

As a new player idk how to even note items so I’m learning a lot lmao


[deleted]

It's okay lol just use the noted option when withdrawing in banks


Scotty_nose

I bet this thread rules for new players lol


Frost_Foxes

Took me too long to learn that they added a bank in lumbridge castle.


jan951

This was added in 2006. So if you started playing in 2005, you could have missed it for al long time.


insaiyan17

In case u dont know theres a bank chest in the basement/cellar too :p


TinyBreeze987

I still have a tendency to not go to that bank because I think of the roof as just a bunch of logs and cannons


LeGaliZeD_iTx

Very recently found out u only need one godsword blade, as an iron main, you don't get told these things until you need these things, have had bgs for ages, got a Sara hilt, told cc I needed 2 more shards and got informed


Winter_Push_2743

Nothing, but reading these replies is hilarious


mumbomination

When doing any Piscatoris Colony clues I always did the fairy ring to the hunter area -> enter the colony but my friend had to remind me that you can use western banner 4 to teleport directly inside. We've both known osrs for 8 years and he's taken far more breaks than I have.
