Starting Over

[vardhamana]

Say you were to create a new account to be your "main" one, and never go on any of the other accounts you have made until now again.

While training the account and playing on it in general, how would you use the knowledge you had gained in all your previous Runescape experience to benefit yourself? What would you do differently in this new account then in your old ones? What would you do the same? And why?

Hard to say...the game has changed so much since I first started, even since I first started this account (Goldmage162). It goes without saying that training things would go quicker for me, simply because I'd already know a lot of the good methods, but more then that...

Well, for one thing I would probably do more quests a lot earlier then I did in this one. I used to make sure I was absolutely certain I wouldn't die or fail at the quest before I started, which often meant getting many levels a lot higher then the quest actually needed.

This also applied to regular monster hunting and fighting as well. For example, I was well over level 100 when I killed my first Green Dragon. I was scared to go to bosses for the same reason.

Getting back to quests, I also, in the beginning, used to use a guide for every single one. However, I found that ruined my experience of quests, and started to make them just into another grind. So I stopped doing so, and should I have to start over, I would not either. (Of course, I'd still remember a lot of what I did before, but that can't be helped )

Another thing I had trouble with were unfamiliar skills. I was very hesitant to try something different in skilling, and as a result started such skills as Hunter and Slayer off much after my other skills were quite a bit higher.

If I were to start anew, I would start them earlier, especially slayer. I could save all that time I spent grinding melee skills and making money doing something a bit more fun and varied.

That's all I can think of for now...
