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

⚠️ WARNING: RoatPkz Gambling, Lottery & Boxes Are Likely Rigged We recently received internal RoatPkz source code screenshots from a former developer that clearly reveal the presence of rigged mechanics in gambling, mystery boxes, and lottery systems. Below, we’ll break down each system being abused—with exact code used in the official RoatPkz server files. 🎰 Rigged Gambling – Flower Poker Players can be manually added to a rigged list called flowerPokerHringur. If you're on this list, the system will force wins based on whether you're wearing a Berserker Ring (i). Here's the code: 📜 Code Snippet: if(FlowerPokerRNG.flowerPokerHringur.contains(getPlayerOne().getClient().getPlayerNameLowercase())) { if(getPlayerOne().getClient().getEquipment().getRing().getId() == ITEMS.BERSERKER_RING_I_11773) { riggedWinner = getPlayerOne(); } else { riggedWinner = getPlayerTwo(); } } This is duplicated for both player one and player two—manually favoring whoever wears the right item if they’re on the rig list. 🎁 Mystery Box Rigging – Preselected Rewards Developers can rig box openings for a specific account using the rigNextBox flag. Once enabled, the first reward from the list is returned, ignoring normal RNG. 📜 Code Snippet: if (c.getMysteryBoxInterface().rigNextBox) { c.getMysteryBoxInterface().rigNextBox = false; return getRewards().get(0).getRandomItem(); } Players not on this list go through modified chance tiers—some even with boosted RNG—but it's clear this is manually controlled. 🎟️ Lottery Winner Can Be Manually Assigned The RoatPkz lottery appears fair on the surface, but here's the truth: there’s a hidden command that allows a developer to set a specific winner, overriding all real entries. 📜 Code Snippet: case "checklotterywinner": if(o != null) { if(username.length() > 0) { LotteryHandler.TEST_WINNER = o.getPlayerNameLowercase(); } } Later in the lottery logic: if(TEST_WINNER.length() > 0 && getLotteryParticipants().containsKey(TEST_WINNER)) { return TEST_WINNER; } This means the lottery is entirely predetermined if TEST_WINNER is set. 🧠 Weighted RNG Control for Flower Poker Another system called flowerPokerRNGHashMap allows the server to assign custom win percentages per player. The final winner is then chosen based on who has the higher weighted RNG value. 📜 Code Snippet: FlowerPokerRNG.flowerPokerRNGHashMap.put(playerName.toLowerCase(), new FlowerPokerRNG(playerName, winPercentage)); Then used during gambling: boolean shouldTheRiggedPlayerWin = rigInFavorFor.getWinPercentage() >= Misc.randomWithoutZero(100); This means a developer can assign 90%, 100%, or any win rate to specific names, overriding natural odds. 🚨 Why This Matters These systems reveal deliberate backdoors: 🎭 Players are unknowingly gambling in rigged environments 🎯 Staff can select winners and manipulate outcomes at will 💸 Real money may be involved in what appears to be fake RNG If you've donated, staked, or bought boxes on RoatPkz and lost suspiciously—this is likely why. ✅ Final Word: Protect Yourself At RSPSToplist, we strongly advise: Avoid gambling systems on RoatPkz Do not purchase mystery boxes Avoid lotteries if you’re not favored This isn't RNG—this is rigged. 📢 Have Proof?

💀 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.

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.

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.

The Most Expensive Items in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) 2025 Old School RuneScape (OSRS) boasts a vast array of items, but some stand out due to their staggering prices. Here's a rundown of the game's most coveted and costly items: 1. Twisted Bow Price: Approximately 1.1 billion GP Why It's Valuable: The Twisted Bow's unique mechanic increases its damage based on the target's Magic level, making it exceptionally effective against high-level bosses like Commander Zilyana and Olm in the Chambers of Xeric. How to Obtain: Reward from the Chambers of Xeric raid. 2. Scythe of Vitur Price: Around 900 million GP Why It's Valuable: This two-handed slash weapon excels in multi-target scenarios, dealing massive damage in raids and high-level PvM content. Its versatility and power make it a staple for endgame players. How to Obtain: Reward from the Theatre of Blood raid. 3. 3rd Age Pickaxe Price: Roughly 2.1 billion GP Why It's Valuable: While not the most efficient pickaxe for mining, its rarity and status symbol appeal drive its price sky-high. It's a coveted item for collectors and those wishing to showcase their wealth. How to Obtain: Reward from Master Treasure Trails. 4. Elysian Spirit Shield Price: Approximately 1.2 billion GP Why It's Valuable: Offering a 70% chance to reduce incoming damage by 25%, this shield provides unparalleled defensive capabilities, making it a top choice for players tackling the game's toughest bosses. How to Obtain: Dropped by the Corporeal Beast. 5. 3rd Age Druidic Robes Price: Over 3 billion GP for the full set Why It's Valuable: These robes are among the rarest items obtainable from Treasure Trails. Their scarcity and aesthetic appeal make them highly sought after by fashion-scape enthusiasts and collectors alike. How to Obtain: Reward from Master Treasure Trails (clue scrolls). Why Are These Items So Expensive? Several factors contribute to the high prices of these items: Rarity: Items like the 3rd Age Druidic Robes have extremely low drop rates, making them scarce. Utility: Weapons like the Twisted Bow and Scythe of Vitur offer significant advantages in combat, justifying their cost. Status Symbol: Owning rare items serves as a display of wealth and dedication, driving demand among players.

🚨 Why Runelist.io Is Falling Apart — and Why Top RSPS Owners Are Leaving Over the past several months, Runelist.io has faced a sharp decline in both traffic and community trust. Once seen as a rising alternative to the older RSPS toplists, today, many of the largest private servers are abandoning Runelist.io altogether — and the numbers don't lie.

SpawnPK Faces Catastrophic Data Loss — Announces Full Economy Reset and Fresh Start After a decade of operation, SpawnPK — one of the longest-running and most popular RSPS servers — is facing a major reset. On April 8th, 2025, a catastrophic hardware failure struck SpawnPK's game server, causing the complete loss of player data. According to Ryan, the server's owner, the off-site backups had not been updated since December 2024 due to internal oversight. Ryan’s official statement on Discord: "Our off-site backups for player data had stopped uploading after December, plainly due to my own negligence. On behalf of the entire SpawnPK team, I sincerely apologize for not having a stronger recovery plan for us." A Fresh Start for SpawnPK In response to the disaster, the SpawnPK team has announced a full economy reset and the launch of a Fresh Start world. Key changes coming: Economy Reset: All inventories, banks, stats, and in-game wealth are being wiped to rejuvenate the server economy. Donation Recovery: Players who donated via PayPal after 2020 can use ::retroclaim to redeem up to $250 worth of donation credits under the original in-game names. Highscores Data: Player stats stored on the website’s highscores are unaffected and will be partially transferred into the new world. Account Amnesty: All previous bans and punishments will be lifted, giving previously banned players a second chance. Appeals and Community Reset Information Following the economy reset announcement, the SpawnPK staff team provided further clarification regarding appeals. A statement from staff member Scooby Doo confirmed: All punishments issued before the Fresh Start are lifted. Players who were previously banned are encouraged to submit a new appeal, even if their last appeal was declined less than 28 days ago. The 28-day appeal waiting rule is waived for this Fresh Start. Important: Do not DM staff members regarding your appeal status. Open a ticket via the ⁠⚖︱appeals section or comment on your existing appeal thread instead. The goal is to offer a clean slate, rebuild the community, and ensure everyone has a fair chance to participate in the new SpawnPK experience. What Caused the Data Loss? The SpawnPK server's hard drives completely failed, and while recovery efforts are ongoing, the chances of fully restoring the old player data are slim. Ryan noted that if any data is recovered later, the team will reward players' Fresh Start progress by linking it back to their original accounts where possible. Community Reaction The community’s response has been mixed: Veteran players are disappointed to lose years of progress. Optimists see the reset as an opportunity for a more balanced economy and fairer game experience. SpawnPK staff are actively gathering suggestions from the community to help shape future updates through the #finished-suggestions Discord channel. What’s Next for SpawnPK? The development team is: Preparing the Fresh Start world with economy and gameplay adjustments. Ensuring players can log in with their original usernames. Making improvements to create a healthier meta and economy post-reset. While the team is working as quickly as possible, they stress the importance of handling the relaunch carefully to avoid further issues. "We want to make as many changes as we can (in a timely manner) so that SPK can potentially see a far better meta & economy after this fresh start." — Ryan

Rune-saga SHUTS DOWN! The recent domain disputes surrounding Rune-Saga have stirred significant controversy within the RuneScape private server community. Two domains, rune-saga.com and runesaga.net, are currently facing pending UDRP actions initiated by Jagex. Previously operated by the well-known YouTuber Wet Wizard, these domains have now been officially shut down, as confirmed in a recent message from Isaiah on the RuneSaga Discord. RuneSaga was notably distinct in the RSPS scene, standing out with its entirely custom world and extensive customizations. It featured over 20 unique bosses, more than 30 custom armor sets, and an innovative invention skill. Players enjoyed cosmetic overrides, mounts, and ranks and items achievable through free-to-play. The server boasted impressive popularity, regularly hosting over 500 players online and maintaining an active Discord community exceeding 5,500 members. Additionally, RuneSaga consistently delivered weekly updates, achievements, a comprehensive collection log, critical hit mechanics, a luck attribute, and full RuneLite integration—including HD graphics. According to Isaiah's announcement, the closure of RuneSaga was due to circumstances beyond their control, despite exploring all possible alternatives. Isaiah expressed sincere gratitude to the community for their passion and support throughout RuneSaga's existence, highlighting the difficulty of the decision to cease operations. However, Wet Wizard himself has remained completely silent, despite having heavily advertised RuneSaga to his followers as the next big server destined to thrive for years. His lack of direct communication or explanation on his YouTube channel has significantly disappointed the community. Players who invested countless hours and financially supported the server through donations have been left abandoned without notice or acknowledgment from Wizard himself. This lack of transparency and accountability from an influential figure has deeply frustrated those who trusted him. Moreover, the absence of a refund program has further heightened frustration among players. Isaiah's announcement suggested an alternative for players to consider, recommending Project Zanaris by Jagex as a potential new avenue. The RuneSaga situation serves as a cautionary tale highlighting the critical importance of clear communication and accountability in private server operations. The community rightfully demands transparency, especially from influential figures who promote these servers. Players are encouraged to remain cautious and demand integrity from RSPS operators to protect themselves and their investments.

OS-Veldahar RSPS: A Final Farewell or a New Beginning? The inside scoop on Mr. Matt’s departure and OS-Veldahar’s future The RSPS community was recently hit with surprising news: OS-Veldahar, one of the most consistent and feature-packed RuneScape private servers, is shutting down. After years of dedication, Mr. Matt, the sole developer and owner of OS-Veldahar, has announced his retirement from the project. The server will officially close its doors on March 16, 2025, when their dedicated server expires. But was this a sudden decision? Not really. Over the last three months, Matt’s Discord activity offers a clear window into his mindset and what’s been happening behind the scenes. A Developer Deep in the Trenches For anyone following OS-Veldahar’s Discord announcements and update logs, it’s clear that Matt was doing all the heavy lifting. He handled bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and worked on massive projects like Tombs of Amascut (ToA) and D2 bosses, largely by himself. Here’s a brief timeline of Matt’s activity over the past three months: 🔧 December 2024 - Holiday Season Hustle Despite the holidays, Matt stayed active. Rolled out fixes for Nex drops, Alchemical Hydra, Cerberus, and improved achievement diaries. A new Donator Slayer Dungeon was introduced. OS-Veldahar’s Christmas event wrapped up on January 1st. ⚒️ January 2025 - All Hands on Deck Matt doubled down on bug fixes and server improvements: Runecrafting, Slayer Tasks, Collection Logs, and QoL tweaks were made. Pushed highscores to the website and teased future updates like ToA and new D2 bosses. Active communication in Discord with rapid-fire patches and player support. 🏁 February 2025 - The Last Push Continued behind-the-scenes development on ToA. Fixed longstanding issues like Battlestaves crafting, clue scroll bugs, and slayer unlockables. Delivered bonus weekends, AFK skilling zones, and automated gambling updates. Yet, there was a noticeable tone shift: his posts suggested burnout and time constraints creeping in. By March 2, 2025, the inevitable announcement came: "After much consideration, I’ve decided to step down from running the server, as I no longer have the free time to continue managing it on my own." Was It Inevitable? Matt’s solo development workload was massive. Without a team or consistent financial backing, the project depended solely on his passion and free time—two things that eventually ran out. Despite his unwavering dedication: ✅ He was actively fixing bugs until the very end. ✅ Constantly engaging with player feedback. ✅ Making content promises, like Tombs of Amascut, which sadly, didn’t reach release. What’s Next for OS-Veldahar? While the server’s shutdown is imminent, Matt has left the door open for potential buyers or new developers. His message was clear: "If anyone is interested in taking over or has any questions, feel free to DM me." Rumors are swirling about a revamp. Whether OS-Veldahar comes back depends on if someone steps up to take the reins. Why OS-Veldahar Was a Fan-Favorite Here’s what made OS-Veldahar one of the best RSPS experiences: ✅ Five game modes, including a unique One Skill Mode ✅ Challenging XP rates ✅ Bonus weekends & Well of Goodwill events ✅ AFK skilling zones & player-owned shops ✅ Over 200 achievements & 12 diaries ✅ High-end raids like CoX, ToB, and ToA (in development) ✅ Runelite client with HD plugins ✅ Custom POH, monthly leaderboards, and Hall of Fame rewards Final Thoughts from rspstoplist.com Matt’s exit is bittersweet. On one hand, the OS-Veldahar community got to experience years of his hard work and consistent updates. On the other hand, running a top-tier RSPS solo in 2025 is an exhausting job. As we say goodbye to OS-Veldahar (for now), we also remain hopeful. There’s talk of a revival, and with the right team, this could be the next big comeback in the RSPS scene.

The Evolution of RuneScape Private Servers: A Deep Dive into RSPS History For over two decades, RuneScape Private Servers (RSPS) have shaped an underground yet thriving subculture of MMORPG gaming. Built by passionate developers and fueled by dedicated communities, RSPS has evolved into a phenomenon of its own—offering custom adventures and nostalgic gameplay far beyond what the official RuneScape ever provided. But how did it all begin? And why, in 2024, are private servers still alive and kicking despite legal threats and game-changing updates from Jagex? At rspstoplist.com, we’re not just listing the top RSPS—we’re preserving the history of how this extraordinary community came to be. The Birth of RuneScape: The Spark That Started It All (2001) It all began in a quiet town in England, where brothers Andrew and Paul Gower had a bold idea: create a fantasy MMORPG that anyone could play in their browser. In January 2001, RuneScape Classic was launched, changing gaming history forever. 📌 Key Milestones: Developed in Java, making it highly accessible for its time. Offered free-to-play access, with optional membership benefits. Introduced 2D point-and-click mechanics in a medieval fantasy world. Attracted millions due to its low system requirements and browser-based accessibility. RuneScape Classic wasn't just a game—it was a revolution. And it planted the seeds for something even more disruptive. RuneScape 2: A New Age of Adventure (2004) By 2004, RuneScape’s popularity demanded an upgrade. RuneScape 2 delivered: 3D graphics, vastly improving the visuals. Revamped combat mechanics and skill systems. The introduction of iconic features, like the Grand Exchange, that reshaped in-game trading forever. But as Jagex continued to evolve the game, some players longed for faster progression and custom experiences. That’s where the private server revolution began. The Rise of RuneScape Private Servers (2006 - 2007) Disillusioned by Jagex’s updates—or simply craving customization—developers began reverse-engineering RuneScape’s client. By 2006, RSPS was born. Early RSPS Highlights: Often hosted from home computers with minimal stability. Focused on faster XP rates, custom weapons, and instant PvP access. Attracted a tight-knit underground community willing to risk account bans for a different RuneScape experience. Projects like Frugooscape and 2Speced became legendary, setting the stage for a booming scene. Jagex Cracks Down: Legal Battles and RSPS Resilience (2008 - 2010) Jagex wasn’t thrilled. Between 2008 and 2010, they launched a legal assault on RSPS, targeting the biggest names and shutting down domains. What Happened: Major RSPS like Frugooscape were forced offline. Developers scrambled to rebrand or go underground. Despite lawsuits, RSPS flourished in the shadows, proving that passion beats politics. This era saw the birth of Rune-Server, Moparscape, and Runelocus—forums that provided refuge, support, and collaboration for developers and players alike. Open Source and Expansion: The Golden Age of RSPS (2010 - 2014) Rather than fade away, RSPS exploded in popularity. Thanks to open-source projects like Project Insanity (PI) and RuneSource, anyone with a bit of coding knowledge could spin up their own server. Big Names Emerged: Near Reality, SoulSplit, and Emps-Scape rose to dominance. Custom bosses, items, and even new skills started appearing—years ahead of Jagex. The first RSPS toplists and automated donation systems made their debut, helping servers fund dedicated hosting and development. This was when RSPS became more than a hobby—it became a profession. Old School RuneScape (OSRS) Rekindles the Fire (2013 - 2016) Jagex surprised everyone in 2013 with the release of Old School RuneScape (OSRS)—a return to the beloved 2007 era. RSPS developers were quick to adapt: OSRS-based servers like Zaros and Ikov launched, combining nostalgia with innovation. Hybrid RSPS combined RuneScape 2, OSRS, and even elements of RS3, giving players everything they loved in one place. RSPS gained momentum once more, balancing nostalgic authenticity with modern conveniences. Professionalism and Innovation: The Modern RSPS Era (2017 - 2020) Between 2017 and 2020, RSPS developers stepped up their game: Ironman modes, raids, and custom minigames became standard features. Servers introduced professional websites, Discord communities, and advanced anti-cheat measures. Some servers even experimented with crypto-based economies, turning RSPS into a business model. Leading the Charge: Zaros, Alora, and Ikov set new standards for quality, stability, and player count. Donator zones, custom pets, and exclusive events attracted thousands of daily players. RSPS had officially entered its professional era. RSPS from 2021 to 2023: Pushing Boundaries Further The RSPS scene didn’t just survive; it thrived. Between 2021 and 2023, the community introduced: 117 HD plugins, bringing high-definition graphics to RSPS. RuneLite-based clients, offering seamless integration with popular tools. Custom skills and brand-new quests, keeping gameplay fresh and unique. Discord servers, YouTube marketing, and social media giveaways became key to growing player bases. The days of posting on a forum and hoping for players were long gone—RSPS had gone mainstream within its niche. RSPS in 2024: The Future Is Unwritten 2024 has already been a dramatic year for RSPS: Jagex has renewed efforts to take down RSPS domains, especially ahead of their Project Zanaris release. Despite this, developers are more innovative than ever, creating decentralized server solutions and leveraging cloud hosting to stay a step ahead. New servers launch weekly, often featuring unique game modes, custom interfaces, and mobile client support. The RSPS community continues to evolve. And here at rspstoplist.com, we’re proud to support this resilient and innovative scene. 💡 Why RSPS Endure RuneScape players have a saying: "We never quit RuneScape; we just take a break." The same applies to RSPS. Whether you’re seeking nostalgia, faster XP rates, or custom gameplay you can’t find anywhere else, RSPS offer something for everyone.

The Most Advanced RS3 Private Server? Since its launch in August 2018, Ataraxia has established itself as the leading RuneScape 3 private server, constantly evolving with updates and improvements. The server recently upgraded to RS3 Revision 936, keeping it at the cutting edge of RSPS development. But what truly sets Ataraxia apart? Unlike any other RS3 private server, it is fully accessible across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and even iOS—a feat that required custom store development to bypass Apple’s restrictive guidelines. Voting Data Analysis & Player Growth Predictions Using voting data from the past seven weeks, we can predict Ataraxia’s player count trends based on its current growth. Here are the weekly vote counts: Week 09 (current): 2,197 votes Week 08: 1,881 votes Week 07: 2,352 votes Week 06: 2,308 votes Week 05: 2,298 votes Week 04: 2,036 votes Week 03: 2,362 votes Observations: Ataraxia’s vote count fluctuates between 1,881 and 2,362 votes per week, indicating a highly active community. The most recent 3-week average suggests a steady increase in engagement. The dip in Week 08 appears to be an anomaly, possibly due to in-game events or voting system changes. Estimated player count 60-250 Using this trend, we can estimate Ataraxia’s projected votes and player activity for the next few weeks. Let’s analyze the data. Projected Vote and Player Growth The graph above illustrates Ataraxia's voting trend over the past seven weeks, along with predictions for the next three weeks. Based on the model's projections, the vote count is expected to rise slightly, showing a stable and engaged player base. Ataraxia's Latest Updates & Unique Features Staying Ahead with RS3 Revision 936 Ataraxia recently upgraded to RS3 Revision 936, making it one of the most feature-complete and advanced high-revision RSPS available. This update introduced major content additions, ensuring that players experience cutting-edge RuneScape 3 gameplay. Key content includes: Full Necromancy Skill Sanctum of Rebirth 110 Mining and Smithing Zamorak, Lord of Chaos Kerapac, TzKal-Zuk, Croesus, Arch-Glacor, Rex Matriarchs, Solak Player-Owned Farms Elite Dungeons 1, 2, and 3 Group Ironman Full RS3 cosmetic override and animation system Custom progression sets for easier leveling Play-to-win mechanics that also allow fast-track progression Ataraxia's iOS & Mobile Expansion Ataraxia is the first and only RS3 private server to offer full compatibility across all major platforms: ✅ Windows ✅ macOS ✅ Linux ✅ Android ✅ iOS (Custom-Built Client) Creating an iOS-compatible RSPS client is an impressive technical feat, as Apple's restrictions often make it difficult to distribute game clients outside of the App Store. Ataraxia bypassed this by developing its own store, ensuring seamless installation. 🛠 How to Access the iOS Client Players can follow instructions at ataraxia.gg/ios to set it up. While it requires a few extra steps, once installed, it allows full mobile play without downgrading devices. Recent Major Updates Ataraxia's frequent updates keep the game fresh, and the past three months have introduced significant content expansions. 📢 February 2025 Update (Latest) Necromancy Perks & Special Attacks New Moonstone Jewellery New Titles Garden of Kharid content 📢 January 2025 Update Necromancy Rituals & Runecrafting Well of Souls System New Bosses: Hermod & Raisal Hybrid Armors New AFK Skilling Nodes 📢 December 2024 Update Donator total scrolls now grant extra Rank Dollars Drop catcher perk now collects event tokens Major Quality-of-Life Improvements for Slayer, Farming, and Banking "Quicker Artisans" Event: Boosts skilling speeds for 1-hour periods Major Bug Fixes & Performance Enhancements New Domain: ataraxia.gg (Transitioned from ataraxia-ps.com) Ataraxia's Future & Player Growth With its constant updates, cross-platform availability, and strong voting engagement, Ataraxia is positioned to continue growing. The iOS expansion alone has the potential to bring in new players, especially as more RS3 players look for an alternative to Jagex’s monetization-heavy ecosystem. Predictions suggest steady player base growth over the next three weeks, likely surpassing 2,300 weekly votes consistently. If Ataraxia maintains its strong community engagement, it could establish itself as the undisputed leader in high-revision RSPS. Final Thoughts Ataraxia is not just another private server—it’s setting new standards for the RS3 private server scene. By offering: The first true RS3 experience with iOS support Frequent updates & new content A balanced economy with play-to-win mechanics A strong, engaged player base with active voting trends It’s clear that Ataraxia is here to stay. 👉 What do you think?

Exposing Enchanta: The Stolen Source and the Blackhat Developer Behind It The RuneScape private server (RSPS) scene has had its fair share of drama, but few stories compare to the chaos surrounding Enchanta and its lead developer—a blackhat figure notorious for deception and sabotage. This blog will cover how the stolen source from Torva ended up in Enchanta's hands, the shady past of those involved, and why players should steer clear of this disaster waiting to happen. The Origins of the Enchanta Scandal In early 2024, the RSPS Torva faced an internal betrayal. According to its owner, Cyber, one of the co-owners, "Luffy" (also known as Leviticus, Quasar, and using the Discord tag leviticusplays, all linked to the same individual), stole the source code and began working with Kevin, the owner of Galanor. Cyber shared his frustration in a Discord announcement: "Firstly, the last co-owner 'Luffy' Aka Leviticus decided to steal the source and rework it with Galanor Owner 'Kevin'. The shock of that and the fact that the new advertisements I paid for didn’t help grow Torva, really kicked me down from continuing to work." This blatant act of theft set the stage for what would later be known as Enchanta—a server built on a stolen foundation. Confirmed Evidence of Source Theft The community quickly gathered evidence proving that the Torva source had been taken and reused. Cyber and other members of the RSPS scene provided multiple screenshots confirming the theft: Proof of stolen source 1 Proof of stolen source 2 Proof of stolen source 3 Proof of stolen source 4 Confirmation that 'Quasar', 'Luffy', and 'Leviticus' are the same person With overwhelming evidence, it became clear that Enchanta’s entire existence was built upon stolen work. A Developer With a Dark Reputation The main developer behind Enchanta, Leviticus, is a well-known blackhat operator with a track record of screwing over those who hire him. This isn’t the first time he’s been caught stealing code or injecting malicious software into RSPS projects. In an alarming revelation, It’sPolo, another respected figure in the RSPS scene, warned the community: "If you have received a message from the Torva Discord bot advertising another server, do not trust it. They are using source code that was stolen by a developer that was hired to work on Torva. They are using a compromised version of the source code that will ultimately lead to sensitive data being stolen." This warning highlights a significant risk: Enchanta is not just unethical, it is dangerous. Enchanta’s Malware-Infested Source Code As if stealing the source wasn’t bad enough, further investigations revealed that the stolen source used in Enchanta had been modified to contain malware. The purpose? To steal user data and compromise anyone who downloads or plays on the server. "It seems that once again, Enchanta is attempting to release their server using the same stolen source code from Torva. This has been confirmed, and to make matters worse, the code they are using has been verified to contain a virus designed to steal data." — It’sPolo The implications of this are severe. If you join Enchanta, you are putting your account security, personal data, and possibly even your real-world financial information at risk. Leviticus' History of Theft and Leaks Leviticus has a history of stealing assets and reselling them for quick profit. Insider information has confirmed that he stole cannon models from another server, claiming they were unique to his project. Additionally, last year he worked for a high-tier RSPS called RoatPkz, where he was also involved in questionable activities. He is well known for leaking sources and selling stolen work to the highest bidder. Why You Should Avoid Enchanta It’s Built on Stolen Code – Enchanta is not an original project but a stolen, modified version of Torva. It’s Managed by Untrustworthy Developers – The individuals behind Enchanta have a history of theft, deception, and scamming. It’s a Security Risk – The server has been confirmed to contain malicious code that could compromise player data. It’s Bad for the RSPS Scene – Supporting servers that thrive on theft and blackhat tactics only encourages more of the same behavior. The Future of Torva and a Legitimate Alternative Despite this setback, Cyber has reassured the community that Torva will return under a new name, featuring a rebrand with fresh content and a stronger commitment to quality. Meanwhile, It’sPolo has announced the upcoming Asterisk server, which will provide a genuine, high-quality alternative free from stolen assets or shady dealings. Final Warning: Stay Away from Enchanta If you care about your security and the integrity of the RSPS scene, do not engage with Enchanta. It is a server built on lies, managed by a deceitful developer, and filled with malicious code. There are far better alternatives that do not put your data or trust at risk.

Use ::vote every 12 hours to get vote books. Each vote book sells for around 5M in the Trading Post, making it the best early-game money-making method. Once you have cash, go to ::shops to buy starter equipment and supplies. Get 99 Prayer (Fastest Method) Buy 100 Dragon Bones from the Trading Post (≈2K each). Find a player-owned house (POH) altar—ask in public chat for someone to host. Use all your Dragon Bones on the POH altar for 99 Prayer in minutes. Train Base Combat Stats Go to ::train and AFK at Sand Crabs to get base 70+ combat stats. Once your stats are decent, move on to Slayer. 2. Slayer – The Best Early Combat Money-Maker How to Start Slayer Use the supplies you bought earlier to begin Slayer training. Loot ALL: Caskets – Open for cash. 💀 Ensouled Heads – Sell to the Slayer Master for easy money. Gear Progression for Slayer First upgrades: Abyssal Whip Amulet of Fury Dragon Boots Unlock Untradeables: Dragon Defender (Warriors Guild) Fighter Torso (Pest Control) Barrows Gloves (Recipe for Disaster Quest) 3. Alora Events – A Fast Track to Millions Alora hosts weekly and weekend events: 🏆 Weekday Events: Wednesday & Thursday 🎉 Weekend Events: Friday–Sunday Win an event? You could make 100M+ in an hour! Some events require gear, but Event Managers can loan you essentials like Dharok’s for Dharok Tournaments. Check the monthly event schedule on the forums. 4. Skilling – Vote Book Strategy & Money Making When to Open Vote Books Instead of Selling If you have enough cash, open your vote books instead. 🔒 Enable ;;2fa first – you won’t get any points without it! Vote shop items worth buying: 🏴 Rogue’s Outfit – Double loot from pickpocketing! 🎭 Blood Shards (Vyrewatch) 💎 Enhanced Teleport Crystals (Elves) Profitable Skilling Methods Hunter (Puro Puro) – Catch Dragon/Lucky Implings for: Dragon Bones, Arrows, Darts, Ranger Boots → Sell for high GP! Dragon Longswords & Mystic Armor → High Alch for easy money. 5. Early & Mid-Tier PvM – Best Money-Makers Best AFK & Low-Risk Bosses Vyrewatches – AFK farm with high Prayer bonus → 1B+ from caskets! Phantom Muspah – Drops Venator Shards & Ancient Essence (2-3K each). Godwars Dungeon – Profitable if you have 2 alts tanking. 🏰 Gauntlet – Great for learning prayer switching & movement. Armor Seeds (80M) Enhanced Weapon Seed (400M+) Desert Treasure 2 Bosses (Duke & Vardorvis) Requires low-tier gear, but Awakener’s Orbs sell for 30M+. Virtus Armor drops are highly profitable! Demonic Gorillas Best for crafting your own Zenyte jewelry. Once done, farm & sell Zenyte Shards for profit. Skotizo (Wilderness Boss) Spawns every 30–45 minutes. Drops: Zenyte Jewelry & Archaic Emblems (sell at Emblem Trader). 6. Wilderness Money-Makers (High Risk, High Reward) Supply & Bloody Keys (Wilderness Loot Crates) Supply Chests → Spawn randomly in the Wilderness → Great loot! Bloody Keys → Sell for 4-5M (better to sell than open). Revenants – Huge Profits but High Risk Best for PvMers who can escape quickly. Drops Ancient Artifacts and Revenant Weapons. Watch out for PKers constantly patrolling the caves. 7. Endgame PvM – Best Money-Makers for Advanced Players Nex (Best Money-Maker in Alora RSPS) Torva Platelegs alone = 2B+ 💰 Best setup: Bowfa + Full Crystal, ZCB at minimum. Kills take ~4 minutes in trios with BiS gear. Tombs of Amascut (Raids 3) – Best for Money Grinding Level 400 Invocation gives high-value drops. Not as reliant on Donator rank as CoX (Chambers of Xeric). Drops like Lightbearer & Shadow = huge profits! Theatre of Blood (Raids 2) Highly profitable, but requires a team. Harder to find teams in Alora’s community, so join a PvM clan. Chambers of Xeric (Raids 1) Best on bonus weekends if you have boosters. Drop rates favor Donators, so TOA/Nex is better for profits.
