But what that is can be hard to pinpoint. There is something about MMOGs, and the way they land with particular types of player, that creates a bond. "Honestly, a lot of it stems from creating content for YouTube, if it wasn't for YouTube I wouldn't have continued to make different accounts and put in all the time I did." "RuneScape was introduced to me by a friend in around 2005 so it was the first MMO I ever played so when Oldschool came out it was originally nostalgia for me," said Devious, "but I have always been grinding leaderboards on different games so I figured naturally since I had experience with it from when I was growing up I might as well try to do something in it. There is one thing that I always wonder about with stories like this. Devious is currently posting updates on a collection challenge he's undertaken on his Ultimate Ironman account and, amusingly enough, needs to find the time to "max my main account on the side since it would take a lot less time than an ironman." I suspect he'll somehow get there. Devious also has a good sense of humour about the achievement, and takes the usual internet shellacking with grace. Another remarkable element of this achievement is that those 19,000-odd hours were logged while the player was also engaged competitively in PUBG, Call of Duty: Warzone, and other games. "That alone was insane compared to now you can just do the Runecrafting minigame." The Herblore skill on Ultimate Ironman was apparently the toughest of the lot, because it requires amassing lots of rare items in specific combinations and your character's pockets are only so big.Īs Devious would himself put it in a quick Q&A on the OSRS subreddit: "Life?: No."ĭevious produces YouTube videos about his OSRS exploits, as well as detailing his successful career in esports. "To get 99 Runecrafting, for example, you would kill around 10,000 Zulrah bosses to get 1 million pure essence and then use the essence making lava runes for 99," said Devious. Players were still feeling out the mode, and strategies that Devious would use later hadn't been discovered or weren't in the game. 19100_hours_and_85_years_later_i_have_maxed_4 from r/2007scapeĪs you might expect, the first maxed-out Ironman was the hardest, or at least took the most time, despite being technically the easiest option. Thus when the Group Ironman option was added, he decided to go for the four-piece. At the time he was racing another player to max all three, a race Devious narrowly lost. But nothing like when Ironman came out."ĭevious' played a ton of the mode and, after maxing his first Ironman account, decided to move on to the Hardcore and Ultimate modes. I also made a few of the first dragonfire shields that came into the game because my Smithing was so high, so that was cool.
I was within the top 10 people to get 99 in the Smithing skill on the game's release, and around top 200 for 99 Slayer. When OSRS came out I grinded pretty hard. "I never maxed my RS3 account although it does have a lot of 99s. "I played casually when I was a kid," Devious told GamesRadar+. Maxing out one is an incredibly rare feat, and arguably not something the mode was ever designed to particularly accommodate, so the commitment here to the ways of OSRS is astounding.ĭevious has a long history with RuneScape, having got into the game as a kid, but it was the release of the Ironman mode in 2014 that tempted him back. Ironman characters are supposed to make even playing the game 'normally' a challenge. Eight-and-a-half years and approximately 19,128 hours later, Devious is the first and will possibly be the only OSRS player to have maxed a Normal Ironman, an Ultimate Ironman, a Hardcore Ironman, and a Hardcore Group Ironman (which is allowed a small circle of in-game friends).
