Orion.ps: Rise, Rebrand and a Tarnished Return What was Orion — and what came before The fledgling RSPS domain orion.ps did not emerge from nothing. It was born from the ashes of a previously popular server known as RuneSaga — a name many in the community still recall with a mixture of fondness and frustration. RuneSaga distinguished itself from typical RSPS servers by offering an entirely custom world. It boasted over 20 unique bosses, more than 30 custom armour sets, an innovative “invention” skill, cosmetic overrides, free-to-play mounts, and custom ranks and items. Players could unlock mounts and items through normal in-game progression — without needing to pay. The server was also among the few with full integration into the official client toolset: HD graphics support, compatibility with popular RuneLite-style clients, as well as features like weekly updates, a comprehensive collection log, achievements, a “luck” attribute, and even critical-hit mechanics. At its peak, RuneSaga regularly hosted 500+ players online and maintained an active Discord community boasting over 5,500 members. For a time, it felt less like a private server and more like a parallel Rune-scape universe — immersive, community-driven, and continually evolving. Then, on 24 March (year seldom specified, but well remembered among players), RuneSaga abruptly shut down. The reasons were never officially disclosed. The silence left a void and many unanswered questions: why the shutdown? What happened to the loyal community? A new dawn — but with no refund After a period of inactivity, the community witnessed the rebirth of the project — now under a new name: Orion.ps. New figures appeared on the scene: “owner” known as Effigy Swiper (a prominent YouTuber), alongside a collaborator named Wet Wizard. On paper, this looked like a strong rebrand. Perhaps a second chance — but without any official explanation for the shutdown or any offers of donation refunds, or compensation for previous supporters. This absence of transparency — no statement to the community, no refunds, no outreach — raised eyebrows. Many longtime players felt betrayed. Others questioned the ethics of rebooting under a new banner while disregarding past contributions. Legal pressure and looming crackdown What makes this transition even more precarious is external legal pressure. According to public records, the UK anti-piracy agency Web Capio — which cooperates with the specialist law-enforcement unit PIPCU at City of London Police — has in the past seized domains that hosted or distributed copyrighted content without authorization. (cityoflondon.police.uk) Web Capio describes itself as a provider of “bespoke anti-piracy services based on quality and speed.” (Publishers Association) Through cooperation with PIPCU and other authorities, it aims to identify and remove illegal domains, often via domain seizures — especially when the site is alleged to host or distribute unlicensed content. (Wikipedia) Allegedly, the relaunch under Orion.ps has attracted the ire of rights holders (in this case, the original game owners), who have reportedly enlisted Web Capio to take action. As a result, any content associated with Orion.ps — such as videos by its promoters (Effigy Swiper, Wet Wizard) — is now at risk of being automatically taken down by anti-piracy enforcement. By all indication, their primary YouTube channels (built up over a decade) may have already been wiped or shut down. The message sent to the community seems chillingly clear: any creator associating with Orion.ps risks losing their presence and revenue overnight. Why the rebrand is unlikely to survive Even beyond legal pressure and community distrust, Orion.ps faces a more mundane but powerful challenge: economics. Running a project like this at scale isn’t cheap — especially if you want to maintain high-end content and staff. If the main owner (believed based in Florida, USA) is subject to U.S. corporate taxes, there are significant obligations. While the state of Florida itself does not impose a personal income tax, corporations operating there face a corporate income tax. (QuickBooks) Assuming Orion.ps operates as a corporation — and assuming earnings subject to tax — a portion of revenue would go toward state taxes, and additional obligations may arise under federal U.S. tax law. (PwC Tax Summaries) Now consider expenses. Hiring high-profile personalities like Effigy Swiper reportedly costs roughly USD 15,000 per month; Wet Wizard around USD 12,000; a top-tier animator like “Jesse” might demand USD 5,000; a senior developer perhaps USD 8,000. Total monthly payroll already approaches USD 40,000 — before accounting for hosting costs, server maintenance, security, potential legal costs, marketing, and other overhead. Without the ability to monetise through YouTube content (given the takedowns), without a loyal playerbase ready to pay — and with the spectre of domain seizures looming — it’s difficult to see how Orion.ps could be financially sustainable. In short: the economics look brutal, and collapse seems almost inevitable within a month or two. A warning to creators — and to players For content creators thinking of associating with Orion.ps — this revival is a minefield. You risk losing years of hard work, subscribers and monetisation for content that may be wiped out overnight. For players seeking a “second chance” with their old community: proceed with caution. No refunds, no guarantees, and a shaky foundation. The rebirth of RuneSaga under a new name might have seemed promising — but with transparency missing, legal risk rising, and financial burdens mounting, what looks like Phoenix rising from the ashes might be heading straight for the pyre again. What we still don’t know — and what needs confirmation No official explanation has been published for why RuneSaga shut down on 24 March. It’s unclear whether Orion.ps is officially registered as a company in Florida (or elsewhere), or what its precise corporate structure is. That affects tax liability significantly. No public audit or financial statement has been shared; we don’t know their actual revenue, or how many players they’ve attracted post-rebrand. Claims regarding creator contracts — USD 15,000/month for one, etc. — are unverified and come from community whispers. It remains to be seen whether anti-piracy enforcement (via domain seizure or takedown) will definitively succeed against Orion.ps — but given precedent with other piracy sites, the risk is non-negligible. Bottom line Orion.ps may market itself as a “revival” of a beloved server, but beneath the fancy promises lurk serious problems: lack of transparency, no goodwill restitution to former donors/players, mounting legal risk, and dubious financial viability. For creators, the warnings are loud and clear. For players, nostalgia may not be enough — and for watchers, it may all collapse again, faster than it re-appeared.

RSPS YouTubers Hit With Jagex DMCA Takedowns — The RSPS Scene Faces Its Darkest Hour The RSPS community has entered one of the most turbulent periods in its history. Multiple major RSPS YouTubers — including Wet Wizard, EffigySwiper, Vibranium RSPS, Artz — have now received official DMCA takedown notices from Jagex, confirmed to be issued through Web Capio, the anti-piracy service Jagex contracts for copyright enforcement. For weeks, many players speculated these DMCA claims were fake or automated spam. Some creators dismissed the notices as trolls. Others believed Jagex would never directly target content creators given the RSPS scene’s long coexistence with the wider RuneScape ecosystem. But that speculation is now over. Jagex Mod Ragnar Confirms Enforcements Are Real An official response from Jagex Mod Ragnar has publicly confirmed that Jagex is issuing and validating these takedowns. Ragnar has now personally confirmed actions against RSPS-related YouTube channels — even creators who weren’t hosting files, servers, or leaks, but simply posting gameplay, reviews, or commentary. This marks a massive shift in Jagex’s enforcement strategy: Not just servers Not just websites But now content creators are being directly targeted For an RSPS scene fueled heavily by YouTube exposure, this is a severe blow. Why Are These YouTubers Being Targeted? The affected creators have one thing in common: They helped popularize RSPS servers. Their videos: Featured gameplay from private servers Showcased new updates, PvP, gambling systems, or custom content Linked server websites in their descriptions Were monetized through YouTube or affiliate deals Under the DMCA, this is enough for Jagex to classify the content as: “Unauthorized usage of proprietary RuneScape assets.” With Web Capio acting on Jagex’s behalf, the strikes are: Legally valid Fully enforceable Extremely difficult to dispute And once a channel receives multiple strikes, YouTube can permanently delete it. The RSPS YouTube Scene Is Now Hanging by a Thread Creators who built their entire identity around RSPS content are now at a crossroads: Do they stop posting RSPS content entirely? Do they risk more strikes? Do they move platforms? Many are already purging videos, disabling links, or going silent to avoid losing their channels. This is easily the biggest crackdown on RSPS creators in over a decade. A Safe Bypass: Why Many Creators Are Moving to Kick While YouTube is aggressively enforcing Jagex’s DMCA notices, Kick.com is currently the safest alternative for RSPS content creators. Why? Kick does not use YouTube’s automated copyright detection Kick has no established enforcement partnership with Jagex Kick does not auto-scan metadata or video frames for RuneScape assets Strike systems are less aggressive Streamers have more freedom with private-server content Several creators are already testing streams on Kick to avoid the risk of losing their YouTube livelihood. For creators who rely on RSPS content: Kick may be the only viable long-term platform. What This Means for the Future of RSPS The RSPS ecosystem has always survived waves of shutdowns, domain disputes, and DMCA waves against individual servers. But this is the first time in years that Jagex has: Directly escalated action against influencers Used enterprise-level copyright tools Publicly confirmed enforcement through a J-Mod Targeted all RSPS promotional channels at once This crackdown could: Reduce RSPS exposure Harm new server launches Limit marketing Shift creators away from YouTube permanently But at the same time, it could strengthen the RSPS community if creators adapt quickly and move to platforms like Kick where they can continue producing content safely. Final Thoughts The RSPS world is changing fast. As Jagex escalates legal pressure, creators and server operators must adapt or risk losing everything — channels, revenue, partnerships, and years of content. Whether you’re a creator, player, or server owner, one thing is clear: The RSPS YouTube scene will never be the same again. But the RSPS community has always survived shocks. This is just the next chapter — and right now, Kick.com might be the lifeline everyone needs.

⚠️ The Fall of Ataraxia RSPS — Legal Heat, Domain Hijacks, and the End of a Legend For years, Ataraxia RSPS stood tall as one of the most advanced RS3 private servers ever built. Running on revision 936 and featuring nearly every modern RuneScape 3 system—from Necromancy and Archaeology to mobile clients and Sanctum of Rebirth—it was once hailed as the true RS3 experience outside of Jagex’s ecosystem. But today, Ataraxia.gg no longer exists. The domain redirects to unrelated and sometimes malicious pages, its listings have vanished, and even the owner Jaedmo has requested all toplists to delete Ataraxia entirely. What happened to the RS3 powerhouse that once ranked among the top 10 RSPSs worldwide? 🧩 From Ambition to Achievement At its height, Ataraxia delivered: Full Necromancy release (Rasial & Hermod) Sanctum of Rebirth, Zamorak – Lord of Chaos, Kerapac, Croesus, TzKal-Zuk, Arch-Glacor, Solak, Rex Matriarchs 110 Mining & Smithing, Player-Owned Farms, Skyboxes, RS3 cosmetics & animation overrides Fully functional Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android clients It was one of the few RSPSs to actually feel like RuneScape 3, not a 718 remake. Technically, it pushed the private-server scene forward. 💀 The Shutdown — Ataraxia Bows Out In early 2025, Ataraxia officially shut down. Sources confirm that Jaedmo chose to retire the project voluntarily after years of maintenance pressure and the growing legal landscape around high-revision servers. Following the closure: All domains were released or deactivated, allowing parked-domain networks to grab them. Players visiting the old domain were greeted with adware redirects or malicious scripts. The official toplist entries were removed at the request of the owner to avoid confusion or impersonation. While some assumed a hack, the truth is simpler: Ataraxia ended peacefully—its domains didn’t. ⚖️ Enter Stobbs IP — Jagex’s Legal Enforcer To understand why RS3 servers are disappearing, you need to know who Stobbs IP is. Stobbs IP is a UK-based intellectual-property law firm representing Jagex Ltd., the developer of RuneScape. Their responsibilities include: Managing and protecting Jagex’s global trademark portfolio. Initiating legal actions against third parties using Jagex’s intellectual property or confusingly similar domains. Acting as Jagex’s representative in UDRP proceedings, WIPO disputes, and UK IPO filings. Recent actions handled by Stobbs IP have involved cases like runescape.ai and bitrune.io, showing that RSPS and crypto projects using RuneScape branding or content are squarely within their sights. Insiders in the RSPS scene believe Stobbs IP has begun issuing new rounds of legal notices targeting servers that directly replicate RS3 assets or distribute official clients — exactly the type of content Ataraxia was built upon. 🔥 The Legal Reality for RS3-Based Servers Unlike OSRS or 317-based RSPSs, modern RS3 private servers rely heavily on proprietary Jagex code and art assets. That includes: Decompiled RuneScape 3 client binaries Extracted cache data and map models Repurposed mobile client files This means they aren’t simply “fan projects”—they’re unauthorized reproductions of commercial software, making them easy legal targets. When Stobbs IP sends a notice, domain registrars and hosting providers often comply immediately to avoid liability. That’s why high-revision RSPS domains have been vanishing across 2024-2025, and why owners like Jaedmo have proactively pulled their listings. 🧨 Aftermath — Domain Parking and Player Risks Because Ataraxia.gg once ranked highly on Google, opportunistic networks quickly parked the expired domain. These parked pages now host: Fake “Ataraxia Download” buttons Pop-ups and redirects to unsafe sites Scam clones pretending to be a new “revived” Ataraxia Players should not attempt to access or redownload any Ataraxia clients—these are no longer official. Always verify domains through trusted RSPS toplists like rspstoplist.com or verified Discord communities. 🧠 Lessons for RSPS Developers Protect your domain. If you close, either renew or lock it to prevent hijacking. Avoid official assets. RS3 caches and mobile clients are high-risk and legally protected. Expect enforcement. Jagex and Stobbs IP are watching high-revision clones more closely than ever. Transparency matters. Announce closures, remove listings, and notify players to reduce confusion. 🏁 The Legacy of Ataraxia Ataraxia’s story isn’t one of scandal—it’s one of technical brilliance meeting legal reality. It proved that an RS3 private server could reach professional quality, but it also showed how fragile that success is when operating in a grey zone. Today, all that remains are memories, screenshots, and lessons for the next generation of RSPS owners: Innovation means nothing without stability—and survival means knowing when to bow out.

Divination RSPS – The Most Embarrassing Copycat in RSPS History A Stolen Source, A Delusional “Owner,” and a Server That’s Already Dead Divination RSPS is the textbook definition of what happens when a clueless wannabe developer steals someone else’s hard work and still can’t figure out how to make it run. Marketed as “The Ultimate 317 Custom Experience,” it’s actually just a ripped, butchered version of RedemptionPS — once known as Dreamscape317 — the most premium custom source ever built. The only thing “ultimate” about Divination is the level of public humiliation it’s achieving with every Discord post. 💀 Mike Wlods (aka “Morty”) – The Developer Who Cries for Donations Let’s start with the man behind the meltdown: Mike Wlods, the self-proclaimed “owner.” This is a developer who spends more time writing emotional essays in Discord than actually developing anything. Every week it’s another wall of text begging for help, pity, and PayPal transfers. “Having 0 players on for nearly a week… I am at a loss.” “I don’t know if I should even continue working on this project.” — Actual quotes from Morty, October 2025. Translation: “Please send money, I have no idea what I’m doing.” Instead of fixing the game, he’s running therapy sessions in his announcement channel. The only “update” the community gets is a new excuse for failure. 💸 Nine Months, Four Scams, and $1,300 Gone Divination proudly announced it “lost all its donations” trying to buy a RuneLite/HD client. You can’t make this up — they burned through 100% of their income buying fake plugins from random Discord sellers. That’s not development. That’s Darwin-Award-level stupidity. If you can’t even vet who you’re sending money to, maybe running an RSPS isn’t for you. And yet, this is the same guy asking players for more donations “to rebuild.” Rebuild what? The trust he never had? 🧠 “Custom Content” — Straight From Someone Else’s Source Folder Divination brags about: “Custom skilling like you’ve never seen” “Unique prayers” “Forging systems” “Constant updates and transparency” News flash: Every single one of those systems came from Dreamscape/Redemption’s original codebase. The same code Morty had zero part in creating, maintaining, or understanding. He’s the kind of “developer” who renames a variable and thinks he invented a new mechanic. The “constant updates” he’s talking about? Probably him editing the MOTD and restarting the server. 🪦 A Server With No Players and No Direction Morty admits the Discord is a ghost town — “0 players online,” “entire staff team gone,” and “community has dwindled to nothing.” That’s not a temporary dip — that’s death. The so-called “relaunch” is nothing more than a respawn timer on failure. His polls read like a cry for help: “What needs to change so people would play?” Everything, Morty. Everything needs to change — starting with you not running it. 🚫 No Leadership, No Vision, No Dignity Divination isn’t just bad — it’s pathetic. It’s a desperate man clinging to a stolen source code while pretending he’s some misunderstood genius. It’s a sad echo of a legendary project (Dreamscape317 / RedemptionPS) that he had no right to touch. The RSPS scene deserves innovation, not imitation. And definitely not Morty’s public therapy sessions disguised as “development updates.” 🔥 Divination RSPS Is an Embarrassment to the Scene If you’ve ever wanted to see what rock bottom looks like in RSPS form, visit Divination RSPS — just don’t expect anyone else to be there. It’s an empty lobby filled with recycled content, delusion, and defeat. The only “custom feature” Divination has left is the art of public self-destruction. For the real experience — with real developers, real updates, and an actual player base — head to 👉 RedemptionRSPS.com, the original Dreamscape317, still thriving while imitators like Divination burn out in the corner.

RuneTopic.com Owner Exposed: DDoS Threats, Leaked DMs, and Hostile Behavior Introduction RuneTopic.com presents itself as a trusted hub for the RSPS (RuneScape Private Server) community. But behind the polished front, its leadership displays threats, intimidation, and unprofessionalism. After approaching the current owner of RuneTopic (known as Rage discord tag vixelstudio) to discuss services, I was met not with professionalism, but with insults, false accusations, and even DDoS threats through alternate accounts. This blog documents the exchanges directly, so the RSPS community can see the truth for itself. Hostile Responses to Simple Questions When asked about RuneTopic’s operation and partnerships, Rage quickly turned hostile: Accused me of “releasing ratted bases” with no proof. Called me “a rat” and “scum of the RSPS community”. Leaked DMs and bragged about it. Threatened DDoS attacks via an alternate account. What should have been a professional discussion about advertising turned into outright harassment. DDoS Threats and Alt Messaging The harassment didn’t stop on his main account. Rage (or an associate) also messaged me through an alt account, continuing with insults and veiled DDoS threats: “Nice IP… you live in the UK… send another message I’m waiting boss man.” This was accompanied by repeated name-calling and warnings not to “message my boy” (Rage). These actions demonstrate a clear intent to intimidate instead of engaging professionally. Why This Matters The RSPS community depends on trust, credibility, and collaboration. When the owner of a major platform: Leaks private DMs, Threatens DDoS attacks, Accuses others falsely of malware, Uses alts to harass and intimidate, …it undermines the entire ecosystem. RuneTopic.com’s brand is directly tied to its leadership. And when leadership behaves like this, the platform itself cannot be trusted.

About Ataraxia 936 – Popular RS3 Server Hit by Discord Attack Ataraxia 936 is one of the most well-known and feature-packed RuneScape 3 private servers (RSPS) in the community. With years of development and a loyal player base, it has stood out as a premier destination for RS3 content outside of the official game. What Makes Ataraxia 936 Stand Out Ataraxia offers a rich selection of high-level RS3 content and unique features, including: 🪄 Necromancy – Fully functional with Rasial and Hermod encounters. 🏛 Sanctum of Rebirth – Endgame bossing content for experienced players. ⛏ 110 Mining & Smithing – Advanced skilling systems beyond traditional RS3 limits. ⚔ Zamorak, Lord of Chaos – Epic boss fight and rare drops. 🐉 Kerapac – Challenging time-bending combat mechanics. 🔥 TzKal-Zuk – Master the Inferno’s ultimate test. 🍄 Croesus – The first skilling boss in RS3. ❄ Arch-Glacor – Icy challenge with customizable difficulty modes. 🐾 Rex Matriarchs – Trio of dinosaur bosses. 🌳 Solak – Group boss with intricate mechanics. 📱 Android & iOS Support – Play anywhere on mobile. 🏺 Archaeology – Fully functional with excavation sites and mysteries. The Discord Attack – 10 Years of History Lost On August 7th, 2025, Ataraxia’s owner Jaedmo shared devastating news with the community: the official Discord server had been completely wiped. According to Jaedmo, the attack was the result of a compromised bot token. The attacker gained access to the bot and used it to delete nearly a decade of community history, including: 📜 Player discussions and memories dating back to the early days. 🛠 Staff Discord history, including punishment logs, game logs, and meeting records. 📚 Guides, bug reports, and suggestions from players over the years. While the in-game server logs remain intact, the Discord wipe erased irreplaceable conversations, development discussions, and nostalgic records from past members and staff. Moving Forward – A New Era for Ataraxia Despite the loss, Jaedmo remains committed to rebuilding: “We have built such an amazing community over the past 10 years. Consider this a new era, we're forging a new path forward, let’s make it a great one.” – Jaedmo, Ataraxia Owner The Ataraxia team is calling on players to help restore the Discord’s valuable resources by reposting guides, advice, suggestions, and bug reports. Incentives for contributions will be announced soon, and all Discord-to-game features are being patched and restored. The server itself remains fully operational, and development is continuing as planned. The community is already rallying to rebuild what was lost, proving that Ataraxia’s legacy isn’t going anywhere.

Exposing SnowRSPS: Fake Stats, DDoS Attacks, and Shady Practices SnowRSPS (also known as SnowScape) has been a fixture in the RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) community, but behind the scenes, there are some serious issues that players should be aware of. From fake player counts to DDoS attacks, fraudulent donations, and even racism, SnowRSPS has been involved in several unethical practices. If you’re considering joining this server, it’s essential to understand the full picture before making that decision. 1. Fake Player Stats and Misleading Advertising One of the most significant issues with SnowRSPS is the falsified player statistics. The server has been known to artificially inflate its player count to make it appear more active than it truly is. This misleading tactic is designed to attract new players, but once they log in, they quickly discover a much quieter server. This kind of deception undermines the trust of the community and raises serious concerns about the server's overall integrity. 2. DDoS Attacks on Players In addition to the fake player statistics, SnowRSPS has been accused of DDoS attacks on its own player base. This is a particularly egregious action, as DDoS attacks disrupt the gaming experience for legitimate players. Instead of maintaining the server and ensuring it runs smoothly, the owner has allegedly used these attacks as a form of manipulation or control. This kind of behavior is not only disruptive but also illegal, and it raises serious questions about the server's management and its treatment of players. 3. Mining and Exploiting Players Another concerning issue is the use of mining software to exploit players. It has been reported that SnowRSPS has used "ratting" programs to access players' devices and steal resources while they are actively playing the game. This is an unacceptable violation of player trust and privacy. Players should never have to worry about their personal information being compromised while enjoying a game, but this kind of exploitation appears to be a recurring issue with SnowRSPS. 4. Toxicity and Racism in the Community The atmosphere within the SnowRSPS community has been described as toxic and hostile. Players have reported instances of racism and offensive behavior that have gone unchecked. This creates an unpleasant environment for those who simply want to enjoy the game. A healthy, welcoming community is vital for any RSPS, and the fact that this issue has persisted in SnowRSPS is a significant red flag for anyone considering joining. 5. Stealing Content and Fake YouTube Presence In addition to the manipulative tactics within the game, SnowRSPS has been involved in stealing YouTube avatars and creating fake content to falsely boost its online presence. The channel SnowRSPS on YouTube is known for being bot-driven and faked, which undermines the credibility of any content associated with the server. This fraudulent behavior is yet another reason to question the authenticity of SnowRSPS. 6. Fake Donations and Misleading Financial Reporting Perhaps one of the most concerning issues is the fake donation stats. SnowRSPS has been accused of inflating its donation figures to make it seem like more players are supporting the server financially than are actually doing so. This fraudulent activity is used to manipulate players into thinking that the server is thriving and well-supported, when in reality, much of the financial backing may not be genuine. This lack of transparency raises serious questions about how the server is being run and whether funds are being used appropriately. 7. Conclusion: Proceed with Caution With all these allegations – from fake player stats to DDoS attacks, fraudulent donations, content theft, and a toxic community – it’s clear that SnowRSPS has serious credibility issues. If you're looking for an honest, transparent, and fair gaming experience, this is not the server for you. There are many other RSPS out there that provide a much more reliable and respectful environment for players. Before getting involved with any server, it's important to do your research and be cautious of servers that engage in deceptive and manipulative practices.

RoatPkz Enhances Fairness with Provably Fair Gaming RoatPkz, one of the leading RuneScape Private Servers (RSPS), has taken a bold step forward in ensuring the transparency and fairness of its in-game gambling systems. As of July 1, 2025, RoatPkz has integrated provably fair gaming, a technology that allows players to verify the integrity of their bets and game outcomes through cryptographic hashes. What is Provably Fair Gaming? Provably fair gaming uses cryptographic techniques to ensure that every roll, deal, or outcome is determined by a combination of client-side and server-side seeds. This setup guarantees that no party – not even the server administrator – can manipulate the results. Here's how it works: Client Seed: Chosen by the player, which can be changed at any time before betting. Server Seed: Secretly held by the server but revealed at the end of the game. Nonce: A unique number that ensures randomness for multiple rounds. Each game round is tied to a hash derived from these seeds, which can be checked by the player using an open-source verifier to confirm that the results weren’t tampered with. This system has been implemented across multiple gambling systems, including Flower Poker, Dice, Mines, Blackjack, and Boxing. How It Works The process is simple and transparent: Before the game: The server publishes a hash of the server seed, which is only revealed after the round is completed. During the game: Players can change their client seed and confirm it’s part of the hash. After the game: The server reveals the actual server seed and nonce, allowing players to verify the results. This setup ensures that the results are reproducible and tamper-free. With provably fair gaming, RoatPkz provides a level of transparency that builds trust with players and eliminates any potential concerns about rigged results. Quick Implementation for RSPS Owners For other RSPS owners interested in implementing provably fair gaming, RoatPkz offers an easy-to-implement Java-based solution. Simply import the provably-fair helpers, and you’re ready to roll with a Flower Poker, Dice, or Blackjack game that’s verifiable by both players and admins. It’s designed to be lightweight, requiring no third-party dependencies, so integrating it into your existing server is a breeze. Why It Matters for Players For players, the introduction of provably fair gaming is a game-changer. It ensures that every bet placed is completely transparent and free from manipulation, giving players confidence that their gameplay experience is not influenced by outside factors. By providing cryptographic proof, players can always double-check the outcomes and know for sure that their winnings are based purely on chance. A Step Forward for RoatPkz This new addition sets RoatPkz apart in the world of RSPS, as it demonstrates a commitment to transparency and fairness in its gaming systems. It also opens the door for other RSPS platforms to adopt similar systems, enhancing the overall reputation of the RSPS community. If you're a server owner and want to make your gaming systems provably fair, check out the open-source tools provided by RoatPkz and join the growing number of servers offering verifiable gameplay.

RuLocus: A Fresh Start for the RSPS Community After nearly two decades of being a vital part of the RuneScape private server (RSPS) community, RuneLocus is embracing an exciting new chapter! The platform has officially rebranded to RuLocus, a modernized and more universal name that signals an exciting transformation. Though the change may seem small—just two letters removed—the shift represents a big step forward for RuLocus in adapting to the evolving landscape of the RSPS world. The new domain, RuLocus.com, is now live, and all existing links from the old domain will continue to redirect, making the transition seamless for users. “It’s a small change. A big step,” the team explains. “A name that’s easier, cleaner, more universal—and one that works for everyone, even if we still need a moment to get used to it ourselves.” What’s Changing? The great news is that not much is changing at all—at least for now! RuLocus continues to offer the same trusted features that have made it a go-to platform for RSPS communities, including server toplists, vote tracking, and community tools. The main difference is the rebranding: a fresh, shorter domain and a more modern identity that reflects the platform’s continued evolution. While the change is mostly cosmetic and strategic, RuLocus encourages server owners to update their callback URLs and API integrations to ensure smooth, uninterrupted service in the future. So, go ahead and take a moment to future-proof your setup! “Please: take a moment, delete 2 letters, and future-proof your callback connection,” the team kindly reminds us. Why the Name Change? The decision to rebrand comes at a time when Jagex has been actively enforcing domain takedowns, which has led to uncertainty for long-standing RSPS sites. The team behind RuLocus saw this as a great opportunity to modernize the platform and create a more universal name—one that can stand on its own and avoid any potential confusion with RuneScape branding. “We’ve been exploring a rebrand for a while now,” the team shares. “As we looked to broaden our scope and modernize the platform, we knew it was time for a name that’s more universal, more future-proof, and frankly—easier for everyone to get behind.” Why No Advance Warning? RuLocus acknowledges that change can be tough, especially after so many years of familiarity. Instead of building suspense with a teaser campaign, the team chose to make the change quietly and efficiently to avoid any unnecessary disruption. “If there’s one thing we’ve learned in 18 years of running this website, it’s that people don’t like change—even when it’s for the better,” they explained. “So, we made the change cleanly and quietly.” What Should Server Owners Do? Update your callback URLs to use https://www.rulocus.com instead of the old domain. Check your scripts or integrations for any references to runelocus.com. Bookmark the new domain and share it with your community to avoid confusion. A Platform Looking Forward Though the name "RuneLocus" will now be a part of RSPS history, the platform's mission and community commitment remain as strong as ever. The RuLocus team is still focused on providing the same great service under their new, more universal identity. “We’re not going anywhere—just continuing under a new, more universal name,” the team assures us. “Same service. Same focus. New name.” For those of us who have been around the RSPS scene for a while, this marks the end of an era—but it’s also the start of an exciting new one. As RuLocus continues to grow, we can’t wait to see what’s next, and we’re excited to be part of this next chapter in the RSPS community!

📰 Project Zanaris Paused Indefinitely – The Irony of Jagex and the RSPS Scene In a surprising yet quietly handled update, Jagex has indefinitely paused development of its mysterious “Project Zanaris” — a project many speculated would be the company’s official entry into the RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) space. By viewing the source code of the official site, a telling <meta> tag reveals the current state of affairs: <meta name="description" content="Project Zanaris is paused indefinitely, but we're grateful for your support and interest. While there are no current plans, we’re keeping the door open to future possibilities. Thank you for being part of the journey."> ⚠️ A Dead End, For Now Jagex’s message is clear — Project Zanaris is on hold, with no active roadmap or development timeline. Despite initial buzz, secrecy, and speculation in the RSPS and OSRS communities, it seems the plug has quietly been pulled — or at the very least, the power's been cut temporarily. This update douses the hopes of those curious about whether Jagex would truly officially embrace RSPS-style mechanics, sandbox experimentation, or seasonal rogue-like servers akin to popular community Leagues or custom game modes. 🤔 The Ironic Twist: Jagex Owns r/RSPS Let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: Jagex currently owns the RSPS subreddit. Yes, the very company that spent years issuing takedowns and cease-and-desist notices across the RSPS world now owns and moderates r/RSPS on Reddit — a community originally built by private server enthusiasts. Many saw Project Zanaris as the next logical step — an attempt to monetize and control a space Jagex had once shunned. But now, with the project shelved and r/RSPS in corporate hands, the situation feels more surreal than strategic. 🧠 Was It Ever Meant to Happen? Without official gameplay reveals, development updates, or even a basic announcement trailer, some are left wondering if Project Zanaris was ever intended to be a full-fledged product — or if it was a failed internal experiment caught between nostalgia and market confusion. Whatever the case, Project Zanaris is no longer a threat or competitor to the RSPS scene — for now. Stay tuned to rspstoplist.com for the latest RSPS news, updates, and server rankings. Whether it’s Jagex’s next move or a new server rising to the top, we’ll be the first to break it. Want to discuss this with other RSPS veterans?

Impact.gg Investing into every premium sponsor spot as a new server — But Who’s Really Behind It? In a groundbreaking move for the RSPS scene, the newly announced server Impact.gg has made waves by securing the every premium toplist spot. This level of investment is unprecedented for a server launch, signaling massive confidence from the team behind it. With such bold ambition and momentum building, all eyes are on Impact.gg to see how it delivers on launch day. 🛠️ Feature Showcase — What Is Impact.gg Offering? Despite the controversy, the server does appear feature-rich, taking clear design notes from top RSPSs: General Market Interface A massive market with static prices ranging from 1M to 125M+ Gear ranging from basic weapons to best-in-slot gear available via a centralized system 🛡️ Account Modes Realism, Ironman, Hardcore, and Ultimate Ironman Custom XP rates (10x–20x) and trade restrictions to cater to all playstyles Gear Loadouts with F1–F6 Switching Switch between setups instantly using hotkeys like F1, F2, etc. PvP-ready loadouts including Melee, Max Mage, Hybrid, and NH setups 💬 Clan System & Logs Full clan system with role management, logs, and event access control Timestamped actions for transparency and abuse prevention (or so it seems) 🤔 But Who Owns It? The strange part? No major figure in the RSPS scene has come forward to confirm involvement — and that’s after such a massive marketing push. The simple answer is no one actually knows. 🧵 Final Thoughts This marks a first in RSPS history — a brand-new server entering the scene with a every premium sponsor spot. It’s a bold and risky move that shows serious ambition. With over 400 players already in their Discord awaiting launch, it’ll be exciting to see how Impact.gg evolves from here. 👉 Join their Discord: https://discord.gg/zkfc9QjFJv 👉Join their Website: https://impact.gg We wish the team the best — but as always, the RSPS community will be watching closely. 💬 Got insight, concerns, or insider info?

🛠️ How to Find RSPS Modelers in 2025: The Ultimate Guide As the RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) scene continues to grow in 2025, custom models have become the standard—not the exception. Players expect fresh content, custom NPCs, unique bosses, and HD gear that stands out from the usual recolors and reused Jagex assets. To compete at the top, you need a skilled RSPS modeler on your team. This guide will walk you through: ✅ Where to find trusted modelers in 2025 🛑 What red flags to avoid 🛠️ What to ask before hiring 🔥 Who the current pros in the scene are 🎨 What Is an RSPS Modeler? An RSPS modeler designs and integrates 3D assets into your client and cache. This includes: Custom gear (armor, weapons, wings) Pets, bosses, and animated NPCs Particle effects and spell animations Scenery, objects, and even full maps They typically work with: Blender, Autodesk Maya DatMaker, RSPSi RSPS cache editors for 317, OSRS, 667, and other revisions 🔎 Where to Find RSPS Modelers in 2025 ✅ 1. RSPS Models Discord – The Official Modeling Hub 📎 Join: https://discord.gg/rUXDSYGc9H Run by reputable veterans Jesse and J Beezy, this is the most trusted and active modeling community in the RSPS world today. Inside the server: 🖼️ Model Showcases Preview real work from experienced modelers 🔗 #model-showcase Channel 💰 Active Sales & Commissions Buy ready-to-use models or commission your own 🔗 #sales-listings Channel This community has been responsible for many of the best-looking custom RSPS live today. 💼 2. Freelance Platforms (With Developer Help) You could also hire an established RSPS developer like Walied (walied on Discord) to convert your cache system to support Maya-format models. This lets you hire high-end 3D artists from sites like Fiverr or Upwork, where Maya expertise is more common. ⚠️ Warning: This is a premium solution and can be very costly. You’ll need advanced cache editing and format conversion. If you go this route: Ask the freelancer for RSPS-ready output (e.g., .dat or .gz) Request previews with rigging and animation if needed Use terms like “RuneScape 3D Model”, “low poly fantasy armor”, or “game asset modeling” This route is best for large-budget servers looking to stand out with cinematic-level visuals. ✅ What to Ask Before Hiring a Modeler Make sure to clarify: What RSPS revisions do you support? Do you animate or just model? Will I receive fully cache-ready files? Are you available for future edits or bug fixes? Do you have proof your models worked on a live RSPS? Asking these saves you from: Paying for broken models Compatibility errors Wasted integration time 🚩 Red Flags to Watch For Avoid modelers who: ❌ Refuse to show a portfolio ❌ Charge full upfront with zero trust or vouches ❌ Deliver stolen or recycled models ❌ Don’t offer help when their model crashes your cache 📊 Trending RSPS Model Types in 2025 Here’s what’s hot in 2025: Trend Description 🧬 Fully Animated Bosses Custom attacks, death animations, and particles 🗺️ Map Extensions Custom raids, zones, and POIs 👑 HD OSRS-Style Gear Unique weapons and armor using enhanced textures 🌀 Particle-Enhanced Capes Glowing, moving FX for cosmetics 💬 Final Thoughts If you're running or launching an RSPS in 2025, custom models are a must to stay competitive. The safest route is to join the RSPS Models Discord and work with verified creators like those managed by Jesse and J Beezy. 🔗 Quick Links Recap 🎯 Join RSPS Models Discord: https://discord.gg/rUXDSYGc9H 🖼️ View Work: #model-showcase 💰 Buy or Commission: #sales-listings

💀 Why RWT on RSPS Isn’t Safe Anymore — And Why You Should Stop Now Real World Trading (RWT) has always been a gray area in the world of RuneScape Private Servers (RSPS). For years, players have risked buying or selling GP, items, or accounts for real money, often enticed by quick profits or cheap gold. But those days of relative safety are long gone. Today, the tools and tracking methods used by RSPS developers have evolved — and if you’re still RWTing, you’re playing with fire. 📉 Detection Has Become Automated and Highly Accurate Modern RSPSs don’t rely on staff manually reviewing suspicious trades anymore. Most established servers now use automated systems that: Track item syncs to average value based on GE history, shop value, and drop frequency Log unfair trades, random ground drops, and player-owned shop discrepancies Cross-reference new accounts receiving high-value items or unusual wealth transfers In many cases, these systems automatically flag transactions and send instant Discord alerts to staff for investigation — often within seconds of the trade happening. 🤥 "Safe Methods" Sellers Claim Are Mostly Lies Gold sellers often market RWT as "safe" or claim to have methods that bypass detection. In truth, these are nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Common tactics like: Splitting trades across alt accounts Trading in remote locations Using obscure items for value transfer …are already monitored or trigger behavioral flags that get you noticed even faster. Sellers don't care if you get banned — they’ve already made their money. You're the one risking a ban or worse. 🔓 Selling Accounts Isn't Safer Either Think selling the account instead of transferring gold is safer? Think again. RSPS owners can easily: Check inventory slot placement of rare or valuable items Cross-reference IP history, bank tabs, and login patterns Search based on the account name or username details you publicly share Even if you "leave the items on the account," those items are still fully traceable — and once flagged, both the seller and buyer are at serious risk. In 2025, this method is just as unsafe as direct RWT. 🧠 Hardware & IP Bans Are Real Many RSPSs have started to implement hardware ID tracking and IP association detection, meaning: If you’re caught RWTing, you could be permanently HWID banned Any linked alternate accounts could be wiped or suspended It becomes extremely difficult to appeal — especially when the logs are irrefutable In some cases, bans extend to entire households or VPNs, making it even harder to return. 💡 A Better Choice: Support the Server Legitimately If you're going to spend money on a server, why risk it all for a few dollars saved or earned? Supporting your favorite RSPS through official donation systems not only: Keeps the server running Rewards you safely with in-game bonuses or donor perks Keeps your account protected …it also helps the community thrive and grow, instead of fueling the underground markets that get players banned daily. ✅ Final Thoughts RWTing on RSPS in 2025 is a losing game. The technology to catch and punish offenders has outpaced the old tricks that used to work. Don’t gamble with your account, your community reputation, or your entire computer’s access to the game. Play safe. Support the server. Stay unbanned.

Why RS Partyhats Are Worth More Than a Car In the world of RuneScape, few items are as infamous—or expensive—as party hats. These colorful, utterly useless crowns have become the game's most iconic collectibles, with some now valued higher than luxury cars. But how did a silly holiday item reach such astronomical value? This blog explores the history, economic factors, market manipulations, and Jagex’s role in shaping the journey of party hats. Whether you’re a veteran or new to RSPS and OSRS, here’s everything you need to know. 🎃 The Origins: Holiday Fun Turned Collector's Gold It all started in October 2001, when the Gower brothers launched RuneScape’s first Halloween event, introducing pumpkins as a novelty item. These items were consumed for healing, and players had no idea they’d become rare collector's pieces. In December 2001, party hats were introduced via Christmas crackers—a mechanic that split rewards between two players. While the hats offered zero gameplay advantage, their colorful appearance and limited availability made them a curiosity. Most players discarded them. A select few held on. The Birth of Scarcity and Value By 2002, party hats were being traded for up to 200,000 gold—a major leap in value. By 2003, they reached 4 to 18 million depending on color. Why? Scarcity. No more were being made, and players started hoarding them. Jagex responded by making future holiday items untradeable (like bunny ears and scythes), but the damage was done. Party hats became RuneScape’s first major status symbol. 💥 The 2003 Duplication Glitch A major exploit in November 2003 let players duplicate rare items, including party hats. Prices crashed. Jagex cracked down and removed thousands of dupes, but the long-term value of party hats persisted. Interestingly, this glitch reshuffled rarity: the blue party hat became the new king, overtaking the previously rarest purple hat. 📈 Merchant Clans and Market Manipulation By 2004–2005, groups of rich players coordinated to manipulate party hat prices, buying them en masse and flipping them later. This “buy low, hoard, sell high” strategy became a cornerstone of RuneScape’s rare item economy. ⚔️ The Duel Arena, RWT, and the Grand Exchange The Duel Arena turned party hats into high-stakes gambling chips—until Real World Trading (RWT) forced Jagex to clamp down in 2007. Enter the Grand Exchange, RuneScape’s centralized marketplace. It added convenience but also introduced flawed price caps, which made hats nearly untradeable due to mismatched real prices and listed values. 🪙 Lending, Spirit Shards & Max Cash Limits To avoid price restrictions, players started lending hats or trading them with spirit shards, which became the unofficial high-value currency. Jagex finally eased trade caps in 2011, and the blue party hat soared to 2.47 billion gold—RuneScape’s max cash stack. 📉 Price Drops and Modern Resurgence In 2023, Jagex finally raised the coin cap, allowing players to trade up to 2.147 quintillion gold. This stabilized the market, with party hats dipping slightly before bouncing back. Today, a blue party hat is worth around 85B GP, equivalent to over $6,000 USD in bonds. 🧠 Why They Still Matter Today Party hats represent a fascinating mix of: 🧢 Digital scarcity 💰 In-game investment 🧓 Player nostalgia 📉 Inflation hedging They're not just cosmetic—they’re a legacy. 🔚 Conclusion: More Than Just Paper Crowns The party hat is more than a meme or an accessory—it’s a living example of how digital economies, game design, and player psychology intersect. For the RSPS and OSRS communities, these hats are proof that sometimes, the most useless item can become the most valuable. 👉 Want to explore more rare RuneScape phenomena?

⚖️ UDRP Complaint Filed Against Battle-Scape.com — What It Means for RSPS Owners Another RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) is now under legal pressure, as a UDRP dispute has been filed against Battle-Scape.com via the official Arbitration Center for Internet Disputes (ADR.eu). The case status is currently marked as Pending. 🔍 What Is a UDRP Complaint? The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a process used to resolve disputes over domain ownership, typically involving trademark infringement claims. When a UDRP is filed, it may lead to the domain being suspended, transferred, or cancelled if the complainant proves: The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark. The registrant has no legitimate interest in the domain. The domain was registered and is being used in bad faith. ⚠️ What RSPS Owners Need to Know The ongoing complaint against Battle-Scape.com shows that no server is safe from legal action. This could be part of a larger wave of crackdowns following increased IP enforcement from Jagex Ltd., the creators of RuneScape. If you're running a private server, you should: Ensure your domain doesn't use copyrighted terms like “RuneScape,” “OSRS,” or game lore. Trademark your own server name if possible. Avoid hosting copyrighted client or cache files. Set up your web presence on non-commercial or regional domains if you're at risk (e.g., .su, .to, .io). 🧠 Final Thoughts Whether you're a fan, player, or RSPS owner, this UDRP case is a wake-up call. Battle-Scape.com is a long-standing RSPS, and the fact that it's now facing domain seizure suggests a rising legal threat across the scene. Stay updated with rspstoplist.com for the latest RSPS news, UDRP filings, and legal developments in the private server community.

Top 5 Goals for New Players in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) Starting your adventure in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is both exciting and overwhelming. With countless skills, quests, and bosses, setting clear goals early on is crucial to fast-track your progress and enjoy a rewarding experience. Based on expert insights and veteran tips, here are the top five goals every new OSRS player should focus on to build a strong, successful account. Whether you’re returning after a break or diving into OSRS for the first time, these essential goals will guide you toward wealth, combat strength, and long-term success. Let’s jump right in! 1. Establish Your OSRS Account Goals and Pathway Early One of the biggest mistakes new players make is wandering without a clear plan. OSRS offers complete freedom, but without goals, you can easily get lost or burn out. Key early goals to consider: Achieving 99 in a profitable skill (e.g., Woodcutting, Fishing, Magic). Unlocking iconic weapons and armor by killing bosses. Completing all major questlines for massive rewards. Building wealth through merchanting, skilling, or PvM. Pro Tip: Write down your goals in a notepad or use the in-game quest log to track progress. Having a clear direction will keep you motivated and efficient. 2. Use Thieving for Quick Starter Cash In Old School RuneScape, money is power — especially for new players. Thieving offers one of the best early money-making methods. Why train Thieving early? It’s quick to level up. Provides a steady income without heavy requirements. Unlocks better pickpocket targets over time. Start by pickpocketing men and women in Lumbridge, then move to Ardougne for faster profits. A few hours of thieving can bankroll your early gear upgrades, quest supplies, and even help you train other skills faster. 3. Prioritize Herb Runs for Long-Term Passive Income While Thieving is great for fast cash, herb farming is the ultimate long-term money maker for beginners. Benefits of daily herb runs: High profit margins from herb sales. Consistent income with minimal effort. Boosts your Farming and Herblore levels simultaneously. Getting started: Unlock herb patches by completing quests. Plant high-demand herbs like Ranarr or Snapdragon. Harvest and sell herbs daily via the Grand Exchange. Tip: Set timers or reminders to check your patches — consistency is key! 4. Complete Waterfall Quest and Other Combat-Boosting Quests ASAP Efficiently leveling your combat stats early in OSRS makes the entire game easier. Waterfall Quest is the perfect starting point. Why complete Waterfall Quest first? Instantly boosts Attack and Strength from level 1 to 30. No combat required during the quest itself. Unlocks access to better weapons and armor immediately. Other critical combat-boosting quests for beginners: Vampire Slayer – Huge Attack experience reward. Fight Arena – Strength and Attack experience. The Grand Tree – Defense and Attack boosts. Tree Gnome Village – Strong early experience rewards. Complete these quests to avoid endless grinding and unlock more challenging, rewarding content quickly. 5. Train Combat Efficiently with Slayer After boosting your early stats through quests, the most efficient long-term combat training method is Slayer. Why train Slayer early? Trains multiple combat stats at once. Unlocks rare, high-value monster drops. Prevents burnout by offering a variety of tasks. Grants access to some of OSRS’s best gear and areas. Focus on completing Slayer tasks while training Attack, Strength, Defense, and Hitpoints. This will set you up for mid-to-late game content like bosses and raids much faster than random grinding. Bonus Goal: Work Towards Barrows Gloves (Ultimate Early Game Achievement) One of the best mid-game milestones is obtaining Barrows Gloves, the strongest gloves available to most players. Steps to get Barrows Gloves: Complete 175 Quest Points worth of quests. Finish the Recipe for Disaster questline. Why aim for Barrows Gloves? Massive boosts to combat stats. Opens access to powerful endgame content. Builds overall account strength through necessary quest completions. Barrows Gloves are a clear, tangible goal that also prepares your account for high-level PvM and bossing. OSRS Beginner Roadmap: Quick Summary Here’s your beginner’s roadmap to success in OSRS: ✅ Set clear, motivating account goals. ✅ Make fast starter cash with Thieving. ✅ Build passive income with daily herb runs. ✅ Boost your combat stats with early quests. ✅ Train combat efficiently through Slayer tasks. ✅ (Bonus) Work towards unlocking Barrows Gloves. Following these steps will save you hundreds of hours of trial and error and set you up for an incredibly fun, profitable OSRS journey. Final Thoughts: Your OSRS Adventure Awaits Old School RuneScape is a massive world filled with challenges, achievements, and endless opportunities. By following these top 5 beginner goals for OSRS, you’ll gain a serious edge, building wealth, power, and knowledge faster than most new players.

Stats You NEED For Raids (OSRS) When it comes to completing raids in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), the stats your account has can make the difference between success and failure. Whether you're playing as an ironman or a regular account, preparing the right skills will help you complete raids efficiently and consistently. Inspired by insights from Theoatrix2, this guide breaks down the essential stats for Chambers of Xeric (Raids 1), Theatre of Blood (Raids 2), and Tombs of Amascut (Raids 3) — plus expert tips on how to prepare your account. Why Stats Matter for OSRS Raids Raids are some of the most rewarding and challenging activities in OSRS. Your skill levels impact your ability to: Navigate tricky mechanics Manage resources effectively Contribute more to your team’s success Focusing on the right stats early saves you countless hours of unnecessary grinding — allowing you to raid smarter, not harder. Chambers of Xeric (Raids 1): Critical Stats Essential Skills: Herblore (78+): Create potions that boost damage, defense, and survivability. Absolutely vital for ironmen. Mining (70+): Speed through the Guardians' room by efficiently mining obstacles. Agility (70+): Manage run energy and dodge damaging mechanics more effectively. Cooking: Especially important for ironmen preparing their own food supplies. Why These Skills? Herblore: Boosts combat effectiveness through potions. Mining: Reduces time stuck at mining challenges. Agility: Increases survivability and raid speed. Cooking: Ensures you can heal during tough fights without relying on others. Theatre of Blood (Raids 2): Minimal Skill Requirements Key Focus: Agility (70+): Critical for maintaining run energy during the intense movements required throughout the raid. Additional Tips: Practice positioning and movement. Communicate with your team for supplies. Focus on precision and dodging mechanics to maximize your agility advantage. While Theatre of Blood is more about combat skill and coordination, having strong agility still massively improves your efficiency. Tombs of Amascut (Raids 3): Mining Becomes King Recommended Skills: Mining (85+): Crucial for quickly clearing mining-related obstacles and speeding up raid progression. Herblore and Cooking: Still highly recommended for ironmen needing potions and food. How to Prepare: Train Mining aggressively before tackling Raids 3. Stock up on supplies if you're an ironman. Organize team logistics — clear roles prevent supply overlap and wasted time. Ironman Accounts: The Extra Challenge Playing ironman mode in OSRS requires full self-sufficiency during raids. Here’s what you must prioritize: Herblore: Craft your own potions. Cooking: Prepare your own healing food. Mining: Handle mining rooms without team reliance. Investing in these skills before attempting raids will give you a massive edge — and save you from costly deaths. Summary: Key Stats for OSRS Raids Skill Minimum Level Why It Matters Herblore 78+ Essential for potion-making and survival Mining 70+ (85+ Raids 3) Speeds up obstacle clearing Agility 70+ Improves run energy and dodge efficiency Cooking Mid-High Ironmen must create their own food supplies For more OSRS guides, raid tips, and updates, stay tuned to rspstoplist.com — your ultimate resource for RuneScape private server news and gameplay strategies.
