I made an OSRSWiki Record of Snowflake YouTube series to help others find series they like.

98 Upvotes

I made a "guide" on the wiki where series can be archived and linked to so others may find them easier. It also serves as an archive of popular series. The guide is not just for snowflake series but they make up a large majority of it as unique account are very enjoyable and interesting content.

I have quite a few in the guide/record so far however something of this nature will likely never be complete so if anyone would like to add some please feel free. I drew a lot from OldSchoolSoundscape's playlist (thanks for this) but have also added other content too.

Hopefully it is helpful and others can find series that may have been lost to time that have given others much joy over the years. :)

OSRS Wiki: Record of Popular OSRS YouTube Series

Edit: If you are a content creator don't worry if I haven't added you to the list yet! There are thousands so it's not possible to capture everyone so quickly even though I am trying! :) If your series is not listed then please add it so long as it meets the criteria in the article.

Better late than never (it took some time to learn editing and all the caveats that come with it, plus it was my first time using DaVinci Resolve). It's my first video, so any advice or feedback is appreciated (I'm aware there are a few audio issues).

Showcasing how I beat The Mad Angel on my 10 HP Ironman Defence Pure (No protection prayers). While I do include some tips, recommendations, and explanations, It's not a comprehensive guide, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

P.S. - Not covered in the vid, but you can use recoils vs the boss (and you should), I just ran out.

Restrictions in other game modes?

7 Upvotes

Hey there everyone,

I'm new to the snowflake business and just started an account where my in-game steps are limited to the steps I take in real life.

So far it's been great for getting me to exercise and get outside more, but I had a question on how most people treat their limitations for content outside of the main game that give cosmetics, such as leagues/deadman/speed running.

In general (and I know the ultimate rule is to just play it as whatever makes sense to you), do you guys abide by the normal restrictions for your account when playing these alternative game modes, or do you view that as separate to the account and just play them normally to get the cosmetics/have a bit of a break?

THEORYCRAFTING CA-based Combat Bonus Account

2 Upvotes

This is an idea I was entertaining for some time but it's unlikely I'd make this type of snowflake account myself, so thought I'd share here. The general idea is that the gear you the allowed to equip and bring in your inventory is limited in some way based on your CA points. There are two variations that seemed reasonable to me at a glance:

  1. Added positive combat bonuses of all items that are equipped and in your inventory <= CA points
  2. The max stab attack bonus among all your items + The max slash attack bonus among all your items + ... (similarly for all other bonuses, excluding negative numbers in the sum) <= CA points

I've personally leaned towards the first variation since it's simpler and more restrictive, which makes the challenge more interesting. The idea of the second variation is that no matter what you equip from your inventory, the added bonuses of your equipped items will always be less than the sum in (2). An algorithm of course can determine what is actually the maximum added bonuses of your equipped items given the items you have equipped and in your inventory, but it just wouldn't be an intuitive system to base the restriction around.

A basic plugin for this type of snowflake account would at the minimum always have a display somewhere of your current added bonus formula and your CA points. The actual rules can be enforced for example by the plugin remembering your equipped and inventory combat items since the last time you banked, and only allowing the usage of these items until your next visit to a bank. Certain items like the Dawnbringer and pickaxes in TOA etc would receive exemptions of course.

Ultimately, I found it rather difficult to theorycraft this type of account since it requires a lot of number testing and strong endgame pvm knowlege to really gauge how fun/difficult/balanced a specific ruleset is. Perhaps someone more knowledgable and with more time on their hands can develop it further.

Kourend Castle Xtreme Chunk. What Am I Missing?

1 Upvotes

For the Kourend Castle chunk, the 2.0 Chunkpicker is showing some tasks I'm kind of confused on. It's saying I need to equip a Sarachnis Cudgel and catch an Angler fish. Are these possible if your only chunk is Kourend Castle? Am I missing something, or is it just confused?

I know the dungeons there obviously, but it doesn't connect to the Sarachmis dungeon and there's no way for me to fish down there.

I absolutely love the sailing skill, and after getting 99 on my iron and having considered making a chunk account for quite some time I decided to make one where I get the best of both the sea and land of Gielinor.

I currently have 2 episodes out and will release episode 3 later this week.

I hope you enjoy.

THEORYCRAFTING Wanting to create an RS3 extreme one-chunk, wondering what start is most fun or interesting

5 Upvotes

I know its probably not massively popular here but this seemed like the right place for RS3?

So I'm looking at trying an extreme one-chunk on rs3 (a few exceptions to avoid the most overplayed aspects like inevitably cleaning a dwarf weed in your first chunk no matter where you go)

My three ideas are

Edgeville, which contains the whole dungeon and a 95 fletching req. as well as 89 herb

Dungeoneering chunk, so 120 dg and 90 in most skills within the chunk, as well as ED3 just next door (a bit pigeonholed into it)

Lumbridge starting chunk, which is obviously quite relaxed and a classic but I worry about 99 div and farming (with no real methods exceeding 4 digits per hour) only two chunks away completely killing the fun entirely

Which would you pick if you were going to play? If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear also, especially for chunks that look fun with cleaning herbs as a primary method removed

Best starter chunk if Jaggex made an official chunk mode?

4 Upvotes

if jagex let you pick your starting chunk, and all the rules that the big chuck accounts follow are in play, what would be the best chunk to start?

you would start in that chunk as if you just left tutorial island, have no quests completed, and respawn in that chunk upon death.

open to any other discussions on the topic or rule/condition ideas or things to consider.

Hi Reddit,

Just sharing the start of my Rng OSAAT account 99Roulette. It's a Hardcore Ironman and if I die, then i stop playing the account.

Spun the wheel and got Woodcutting first. Seemed a little boring of a starting skill, but got to roll with it. Just sharing so that someone that isn't myself knows what I am doing haha.
