I would really like to find that sort of diversity come to skills like Herblore and Agility, and I'd like to see more skills interact with other abilities, like the way I trained Woodcutting when leveling Hunter. Efficiency is fun, and Runescape is at its finest when you are not stuck doing
OSRS gold.
Happily, some of Old School Runescape's latest upgrades introduced minigames that assist liven up boring skills like drinking and Firemaking. And while some skills continue to be dull to train, they're at least more worthwhile thanks to the addition of skill-gated regional diaries which provide you with a globetrotting to-do list--kill this monster, speak to the NPC, finish this quest, craft this item and so forth.
Completing diaries unlocks exceptionally useful utilities and shortcuts, so they inspire you to train abilities and complete quests. They also offer a small but valuable dose of direction: if you need a new target, you can always work on your own diaries.
Like diaries, new game styles also encourage players to train their abilities. I said earlier that there are no courses in Runescape, and there are not, but there are just two different account types: normal accounts and ironman accounts. If you play a standard accounts, you can do whatever you want, but if you're an ironman, you can't trade with other players, which means that you have to make and craft all of your items yourself. This makes Runescape much more demanding, but it also amps the payoff of having things done.
As such, it's quickly becoming the most popular way to
cheap Runescape gold. True devotees can raise the problem further by playing as ******** ironmen, that are demoted to normal ironmen and kicked off the ******** leaderboards should they die even once, or ultimate ironmen, who can not store their items and have to carry everything on them constantly.
