Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says very few things in OSRS give hybrid XP, naming driftnet fishing and the underwater agility on Fossil Island as the main examples.1
  • Gnomonkey finds hybrid methods rare, fun and engaging when they suit what an account needs, and thinks they are underutilised and no longer made by Jagex.2
  • Gnomonkey says hybrid skilling methods on Fossil Island see little use because underwater agility is clunky, driftnet requires making nets that is not fun for Ironmen, and none of them have a pet chance.3
  • Gnomonkey says he has been trying tick-manipulation hybrid methods on his Ironman, such as fishing trout and salmon while also cooking each fish at the same time, which is very difficult but gives lots of Cooking XP on top of Fishing if mastered.4
  • Gnomonkey says some of the most interesting and fun skilling methods are the weird ones that players figure out.4
  • Gnomonkey would love each skill to have many fleshed-out methods with varying hybrid options depending on whether the player has gp or higher stats, and says removing old methods discourages that.5
  • Gnomonkey says choosing between Trouble Brewing's hybrid XP and the new Fletching activity's rewards would be a fun trade-off, and that skilling in RuneScape is already grindy so it should not become less fleshed out.5
  • Gnomonkey asks viewers whether they want more hybrid methods and says he would love to see Jagex add more.6
