Gnomonkey's opinion
- In the description Gnomonkey says he cannot tell people to look at the Wiki for gear advice because it is so bad, and that the Gear Discords do not keep up with new meta changes quickly either.1
- Gnomonkey considers the OSRS Wiki's strategy guide downgrade charts really stupid, and plans a mini series where he completes bosses the way the wiki thinks they should be completed.1
- In the description Gnomonkey says he still thinks the information on the Wiki is accurate and good otherwise.1
- Gnomonkey calls the wiki's downgrade charts a blight on what he considers the best wiki for any game, and says they are the only thing wrong with it that he can think of.2
- Gnomonkey says the wiki downgrade charts are misleading because they lack context, for example recommending a Dwarven helmet for crush bonus as the worst downgrade and also a fang, which stabs.2
- Gnomonkey says the downgrade charts should be deleted, or at least replaced by a small tool like Gearscape where you enter a gp amount and it recommends items.2
- In the description Gnomonkey says he did this Giant Mole wiki-gear challenge so viewers would not have to, calling it the longest Wiki Guide challenge he had done even with edits.3
- Gnomonkey says doing Giant Mole in the wiki gear at normal max combat was not too bad, but not having max combat and wearing that gear as the wiki suggests makes it absurd, and that people who did it would quit the game.3
- Gnomonkey finds it strange that the wiki's Giant Mole page mentions a bow of Faerdhinen with no crystal armour and no explanation, calling it there for no reason.4
- Gnomonkey says even Gearscape could not really save the low-level Giant Mole setup, adding that you know it is bad when Gearscape cannot come up with a better solution.5
Trivia
- This Wiki Guides series is recorded in the morning on Twitch and YouTube and then continues on Kick.3
