Contents

Stats and numbers

  • Troll Invasion monthly gives roughly a 30k XP lamp for about five minutes of effort, according to Gnomonkey.1
  • Gnomonkey lists RS3 dailies including the Traveling Merchant, daily challenges, Jack of Trades XP, Soul Reaper boss tasks, Player-owned ports, and Gethixian caches which are the main way to train Divination.2
  • In RS3 all shops are daily and do not restock until the day resets, so Ironmen must buy their runes, vis wax and feathers each day.3
  • Gnomonkey estimates efficient dailies take about two hours a day, and up to six hours if pushed, plus weeklies and monthlies.4

Tips

  • RS3 dailies listed by Gnomonkey: caches, Jack of Trades, soul obelisk and squishing scarabs for Menaphos reputation, mining sandstone for glass for flasks, Nemi Forest for raid reputation, the Reaper boss task, and shop runs since RS3 shops reset daily.5
  • RS3 weeklies listed by Gnomonkey: tiers of Gothics like in old school, Herbi Werby (Herblore XP), Helping Meg (an XP lamp each week), killing Agaroth twice (a bonus XP crystal) and finding all the penguins.1
  • Other RS3 monthlies Gnomonkey lists: building all the god statues for construction, prayer or slayer XP, and feeding the giant oyster, which gives the same as a master clue casket plus farming and fishing XP.6

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says RS3 has so many dailies that you will be doing them for upwards of an hour a day, and that it is one of the things he hates most about RS3.7
  • Gnomonkey says the dailies in RS3 are far worse than the microtransactions and are an overlooked reason people dislike the game; the FOMO is absurd and designed to make players log in daily.8
  • Gnomonkey says the lack of a quest helper client in RS3, endless dailies and hourly flash events made him crash out on day one.9
  • Gnomonkey says Jagex could have cut dailies from Leagues as a test and then started removing them from the main game, though he thinks some players would complain about losing them.10
  • Gnomonkey says RS3 has been adding endgame content constantly while neglecting the early game, and that levels are not fast until the 80s and some skills are even slower than in Old School.11
  • Gnomonkey considers dailies the worst part of RS3, with entire skills trained only through daily events done once and then ignored until the next day.12
  • Gnomonkey says RS3 dailies are heavily rewarding and feed FOMO, making you feel you play the game just to do dailies, and he praises the goal of a game you play for what it is without a checklist of chores.13
  • Gnomonkey says RS3 Ironmen were hit especially hard by upkeeping resources through hours of daily activities such as hourly Wilderness flash events, and with dailies cut they should play more like Old School, where you train a skill by training it.14

Events

  • The roadmap blog says Jagex will take a holistic look at all daily escape systems, from shop stocks to Viswax, Daily Challenges and hourly Wilderness flash events.12

Trivia

  • Most RS3 shops restock every 24 hours.13
