I just started playing OSRS recently and have been just drifting around from one activity to the next, as I find stuff that catches my fancy. Currently I'm about 20 games into Fishing Trawler and haven't seen a piece of the angler set yet; I ended up liquidating some of my food and crafting materials on the GE to buy more rope. I notice a lot of people prefer to play the lower deck even though swamp paste is so expensive; what's the appeal?

Previously I spent a while in Camdozaal because I liked that it was a pretty self-contained grinding area; I stayed long enough to unlock all the buffs, and get the barronite mace and the Imcando Hammer. I like the concept of the Vault but it seems like the actual loot is worthless compared to how much time you spend mining to pay for vault runs. The best drops are adamant armor that you could buy on the exchange.

What's everybody else working on? Grinding skills, making money, minigames, bosses? Having fun?

People don't do fishing trawler for fun typically, they just want the outfit so that's why people are happy to burn more money. Also at a certain point it just isn't much money anyway.

I'm currently grinding to 90 range because the gargoyle boss has a healing phase and I really want to skip it, but I can't reliably skip it. 90 range is my next +1 boost from my ranged potion, so I'll be 5 levels higher when I get there and hopefully can skip the healing bit.

The only reason I did camdozaal stuff was for the hammer, it works for smithing and construction while being equipable instead of just sitting in your inventory taking space. The rest is kinda worthless afaik

Good luck on the anglers gloves!!! Took me quite a few games to finally get them!

I saw someone get them today, I'm sure it won't take too many tries! ;D

Playing a group ironman, and yesterday my teammate got the Hydra claw after +1800 kc. So naturally we're doing even more cox now!

When we're not raiding, iam fishing karambwans, so I can get 91 fishing, so I can boost for the morytania elite diary

I’m working on maxing my main. 17 levels to go. Questing on my new ultimate Ironman.

Havent played my main lately because I only have terrible skills left to max. Instead, having fun playing a GIM with some friends.

Grinding Agility. I don't really like it, but it will make everything just better once I get it high enough.

Besides that, I love Arceuus Library for grinding magic so that's what I'm doing when I need a break.
