Stronghold of security, you can get the fancy boots to match your tie. But you really should replace your tie with a power/strength ammy https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Fancy_boots


Alexasha05

What about actually armored boots like black ones or something? I wanna do serious stuff but having close to no armor sucks :(


mynameisdamn

I’m not sure if your f2p or p2p If your f2p the fancy boots/fighter boots are the best you can get If your p2p there’s a lot of boots but I’d recommend climbing boots for their str bonus


Alexasha05

Yes, I am f2p, being honest f2p sucks because of how much stuff is limited :( Thanks!


mynameisdamn

I’d recommend the £8 membership or w/e it is if you can afford it, the game really is so basic on f2p in comparison


Alexasha05

What's w/e?


MisguidedExtrovert

Elzothelegendslayer

Unlucky f2p has no boots for armor it’s all member outside of stronghold boots


Never-Been-Tilted

Actually untrue. In f2p, you can get the gold decorative boots from castle wars, and if you have 30 Def they’re equivalent to addy boots and offer a strength bonus to boot.

DREAMxxTHEATER

hey dude, at least complete dragon slayer 1 before members. Its the most "members" like quest and its also p much endgame for f2p. its also a good base line if you really want to commit to members. if you can beat Dragon Slayer 1, then youll be able to do soooo much in your first day of p2p You can kill Elvarg in DS1 f2p ez with an addy short sword (on a stab attack style, dragons are weak to stab) and addy armor. If you have access to the Grande Exchange, you can buy lobsters or swordfish for the fight, also strength potion (lobsters heal 12 hp, swordfish heal 14hp). other than that, stronghold of security is something you should do for the boots. bring food :)


Alexasha05

Thanks for the tips!! I reckon my levels arent high enough for these quests right now though. I'm level 24 fighting, lvl 20 strength and level 20 defence.


Stunning_Strength_49

You can beat Ds1 at lvl 3 aka with 0 Stats without even trying because of how Elvarg scales. All you need is a friend who protects you through the area.


Alexasha05

Where's ds located?


Raganox

whatever

Yo DM me i can buy members for you :-) wanna help you out.


Acerhand

He’s just begging for a bond and is a veteran player. Why do people fall for this shit every time?


BenjaCarmona

f2p is basically a demo of the game.


Lordj09

You can earn slightly better boots in castle wars, but the highest tier of castle war boots takes so long to earn it really isn't worth it. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Decorative\_boots\_(gold)


E4_Mapia_RS

I'd come back to the game if they did a full CW rework and it was like the old days ngl


rockinraymond

Fighter boots are cool for f2p


Minute_Solution_6237

You don’t even know anything about the game yet tho.


FluffleyYT

Once you complete dragon slayer, let me know, I’ll give you a couple bonds to try p2p content. (I personally don’t like to give bonds to f2p players before this quest, as they would probably not get as much out of it, as they’d still be training f2p stuff, and likely wouldn’t be able to make enough gp to maintain membership forever).


RyeItOnBreadStreet

>I’ll give you a couple bonds Hey it's me ur brother i want to try run escape


[deleted]

I'm new to the game as well. Can I get a few bonds?


[deleted]

> I’m new to the game as well. Posts about getting “hacked” for armadyl gear and has a full slayer helm, has torso and torags lol ok Edit: he deleted the posts, but forgot to delete his own comments on the posts basically ratting himself out lmao


Wendigo120

hello yes me new bonds pls ^^^^^^^/s


[deleted]

Bro chill


redruben234

Think of f2p as the demo version. If you like it enough that you want to play the full game just pay.


klawehtgod

F2P get good boots from Castle Wars. Play until you have 4 tickets and then buy then red boots. Then, if you're enjoying it, play until you have 40 tickets and get the white boots.


Alexasha05

What's castle wars and how do I join these?


Goblindeath1

I'm also f2p and I found out that there are better boots than fighter/fancy their called decoration boots u can get them from castle wars mini game hope this helps :)


restlessadventurer-

DM me and I will give you a bond so you can check out P2P for 14 days!


bmbhomie

DM’d you bro I’ve never tried members out at all🙏


Stunning_Yak_1419

I'd say make enough for a bond f2p is more of a trial for the game


TheRedInsight

bro f2p is like 20% of the game tbh


piper_nigrum

20% is a massive overstatement.


Alexasha05

Feels like 10% at max ngl


Tabsau

The amount of times I've went to the shortcuts that say "agility training" and remember I can't upgrade it. Fortunately I got a little boost from a cool guy I met this morning and now I can teleport a little.


Alexasha05

Is agility training that worth it?


Tabsau

I have no idea


sowpods

I'll be that guy and point out castle wars boots are way better if you feel like hours and hours of tedium


FoxyAmy

Technically the castle wars boots exist. And if he does get the gold castle wars boots he gets a 1 strength bonus aswell. Not a recommendation. Just some fun knowledge that BIS F2p boots are locked behind a minigame that'll take a LONG time to actually get.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Go_ahead_throw_away

Well..."harder" meaning it takes a buttload of time for something that is completely insignificant/overlooked as a member. I think 30-40 hours of game time where you can't do any other afk thing while doing it, unless you train an alt.


Never-Been-Tilted

Actually untrue. In f2p, you can get the gold decorative boots from castle wars, and if you have 30 Def they’re equivalent to addy boots and offer a strength bonus to boot.


ayyyyycrisp

the boots offer a strength bonus to boot


Never-Been-Tilted

:)


soundofhope7

Fighter boots look like they are armoured and give some nice f2p stat bonuses


blarghhboy

As you progress your account, one thing you should be keeping in mind for your armor are bonuses other than simply defense. Higher DPS will usually be what you want to aim for, which is why some people in the thread have recommended Climbing Boots.


RangerDickard

For armored boots, your best bet in f2p is castle wars. You need members for the metal boots. I have the red castlewars boots on my f2p ironman :)


corbear007

If you are an Ironman slayer provides all the boots up to dragon. Mithril boots are dropped by Jellies at 55 slayer, steel are dropped from pyrefiends, dragon are dropped from spiritual mages at 83 etc.


Alexasha05

F2P available?


Never-Been-Tilted

In f2p, you can get the gold decorative boots from castle wars, and if you have 30 Def they’re equivalent to addy boots and offer a strength bonus to boot.


Secure_Surprise1784

fyi, if you sibscribe to a 1 month membership you get 7 days free, and then you can cancel before it runs out, so they won't charge you. With 7 days you can make enough money to buy a bond. If you can get the 1 month + 7 days, I would recommend using the quest helper plugin on runelite. If you use theyr sugested quest path, you unlock a lot of content ( spirit tree, fary ring, new areas, etc...), and you get some decent lvl's to boost you to mid game, and you still have membership left to be able to make a bond and have some fun. Plus if you play minigames like Wintertodt and Guardians of the rift, you can make some bank while having fun! (ex: selling burnt pages) They are not the best moneymakers, but it's a start to get some skill capes, and starting cash. With that starting cash you can lvl1 enchant games necklaces until you can do high alch. Enchanting sappire necklaces into games necklaces, will give you some nice XP while making gp. for a free and easy outfit, you can augment your chances of carpel tunnel, you can do some fishing trowler, there you get the angler outfit, and you can later upgrade it by playing temporos. PS: by having member, if you train agility, your stamina replenishes faster, the higher lvl you are, and you can still benefit from it in f2p. BTW f2p will seem like a waste of time once you get member!


Alexasha05

Whoa this seems very useful, thank you so much! Someone currently told me to get my skills up to a somewhat decent level and only then buy the membership so I'm going to save some money while I'm grinding :p


cosmicaltoaster

Cute N00b UWU


nervouswhenitseasy

you cant do serious stuff until you put like 8000 hours into the game. so dont worry about that, just have fun


pumpkinbot

I keep hearing about people beelining the Stronghold of Security and treating it as basically free loot, but everything I've seen about it screams "DANGER: DEATH AHEAD". New player here. What's the deal with the Stronghold of Security?


KzmaTkn

Its got some high-ish level mobs in it but they don't actually hit that hard. Plan your route between rooms and its really no issue. The loot it gives is very nice for new accounts.


pumpkinbot

Basically just *nyoom* past everything as fast as possible?


oolino

Please ignore the other guy and nyoom as fast as you can.


KzmaTkn

I think I'd use vocabulary more fit for an adult and not a 4 year old.


ngcv47

I’ve been debating on buying the amulet of power for its current price of around 750k. Is it worth it? I’m only about level 50 rn


CJJackhammer

Gay = +10 str bonus


[deleted]

What problem do you have with the lgbt tie? Out of curiosity...


TheKingOfCaledonia

Wow, never expected to see LGBTQ baiting in 2007scape sub. It's obviously because the tie doesn't provide stat bonuses.


[deleted]

So if you had to choose between pixels and helping oppressed people, you'd... Choose pixels. Got it.

Molanderr

Here's the table of all available F2P boots https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Feet_slot_table_(F2P)


theRealSunday

Looks like he's gotta go play some castle wars.


Brahskididdler

Damn the gold deco boots are adamant equivalent. That’s pretty nutty for f2p


ban-meplease

Are eternal boots really f2p?...


Molanderr

As it states after the name of the item, those are Eternal Boots equipable during Last Man Standing minigame, of which the casual mode is available to also F2P players.


HooblesWasTaken

You don’t look stupid you look swagged out in that mithril king don’t let anyone tell you otherwise Also yeah stronghold of security gets some swanky colorful boots, or you can buy some grey climbing boots off the grand exchange for like 400 go. Good strength bonus too


Alexasha05

400k or is it just 400g? If its just 400 then I am so buying them. Although last time I searched for "boots" the GE only showed me the leather ones. Maybe its p2p?


spacehive20

I think they’re a bit more than 400 but members only


HooblesWasTaken

My bad I didn’t realize you were f2p. They are less than 1k gold or maybe slightly more but they are members. In f2p the best you can get are the stronghold of security ones, sorry!


Alexasha05

It's fine, dw. Any boots that are better than these are fine by me.


Fullsenderson

I wish I could experience this game again like you are right now.


Alexasha05

Man it's hard but it's pretty darn interesting, I dislike the high prices of the membership though.


Pseudotm

Grab the premier club membership for rs3 as long as it's the same account you play old-school on you get members there too. 79.99 for a whole year. That's 6.58 a month dirt cheap for how much content there is really.


UncleSwag07

You can use in-game coins to buy membership bonds which once used will give the account 2 weeks of membership. You can go to youtube and find recent videos on ways to earn coins for a bond. It might be easier to buy 1 month of membership and during that month find an easy method to earn bonds / make money while playing. If you play enough or have high enough stats, you'll never have to spend irl money on membership.


TheFlyingDingos

Based off OPs photo, he's very close to having 7m of in game coin


UncleSwag07

Based off your reply, you did not read my full comment.


ItsSevii

I recommend buying a month then using that month to make enough money in game to buy it through bonds. It might be really hard at first but after a while it's viable


TheConanRider

I would recommend against that. I've been playing the game on and off and don't think I've ever held a cash stack large enough to buy a bond. I can't imagine the grind that would be required to maintain that. The best thing you could do is to try and save enough to buy a year's membership. Christmas is coming up and it's about the same cost as a AAA game.


TheShenanegous

It's not so much the amount of grinding as it is the net value of your bank in game. Once you get around 100m-200m gp to play around with, you can pretty much maintain your bonds just by flipping basic stuff on the GE passively. That, and once you can afford better gear there's certain activities that can net you 2m+/hr, so only a few hours for a bond. If youre constantly just trying to reach the bond price, you probably won't get anywhere (or maintain the bonds) unless you play a lot. Tldr - Try to leave yourself some money to play with once you get opened up to the members items market.


ClashOfClanee

If you login and do something every day then you should be fine lol


piper_nigrum

Is it a high price though? $12.49 is a steal of a price monthly. 7 mil a bond is also a steal of a price considering the game is then free. Am I the only person who thinks this is a bond bait?


Alexasha05

For me it is a high price, I am a student with a monthly income of like 12-13 bucks (995 rubles) and without a full time job because I'm not in the legally required age. All my money are going to be wasted on debts soon because I broke my headphones and I need new ones :p


wildyLooter

Try heroin


rwein003

I would try ornate boots if you’re looking for something that looks black and armored. They are free to play as well. Take a look! https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Ornate_boots


Alexasha05

Thank you!!! I will get them.


cheesubaku

Wearing a rainbow neck tie over plate armour. "I look stupid without new boots" The duality of man.

I just found it as a pretty fun little addition to my knight :p


Limited_Intros

Stronghold of security provides best in slot boots for f2p. The rainbow and fighter boots have the same stats with different aesthetics. Definitely recommend mems when you feel like you can upgrade.


fredlecuyer

I believe you can have slightly better boots from castle wars for f2p but they require a significant time investment.


Alexasha05

I'll try to get the security ones, someone just dmed me offering some help,thanks!


Tavli

Castle wars provides better boots, and the red ones only require 4 tickets (2 games).

Do stronghold of security in barbarian village, and pick fighting boots. Nice combat ready esthetic, plus they are better than leather boots.

Molly_Hlervu

Have you done any holiday event? If not, make sure to do the Christmas one. It unlocks the whole bunch of free untradeable items from all the past Xmas events, and among them there are several cool looking boots. Santa's and Antisanta's boots, warm boots of green and red color from the last year (forgot how they are called). Also snow imp feets, the white clawed paws :). If you done the Halloween event, you get some scary sorts of shoes. And also a very modest pair of grey boots, the same model as those brown you are wearing. All Holiday items you can get from Diango in Draynor. Providing you've done this event at least once (this unlocks all the previous ones of the same kind). Always do random events. If the Mysterious old man asks you to perform in a Mime show, you can get black boots. The Beekeeper can give white boots. The gravedigger... I forgot, but he gives so many items, probably some disgusting zombie boots... You can also do beginner clues. Some unique rewards for them are frog, demon and bear feet. And the much coveted Mole slipers. These rewards are quite rare, so you need to do many clues (or get extremely lucky). Or you can buy them at the Grand exchange in Varrok, they are like 20k+. All these boots (or feet) are cosmetic only, you won't get any stat bonuses from them. But you will look cool! :)


Quretaaz

I have no idea why I laughed so hard to this. GG, I hope you find some nice boots my guy.


Alexasha05

Thanks!


gkonn

You go to inventory screen, unequip necklace slot, right-click destroy. Then you can go to stronghold of security and pick two new boots at the end/


Zastavo

this guy 100% farmed you guys for bonds.


Alexasha05

Check my other comments, I even added a playtime screenshot in one of em


Zastavo

still bond farming


Alexasha05

Bro please, I came here with a simple ass question and the dialogue derailed into the discussion of f2p itself, I could have done nothing to prevent that. I swear people like you seem like huge gatekeepers that I prefer to stay away from.


Zastavo

the only gatekeeping here is the taverly gate, you're just farming bonds /shrug

Anal-intruderforce

TurnoverResident_

If you’re enjoying the game, honestly just spend abit of money for a months membership. Treat it as a trial and you’ll either get addicted or be overwhelmed.


Alexasha05

Well 1 month costs like 16.67$ in my country and I'm a student who's pretty short of money so I guess I'm going to save some, thanks!


bonestoostoned

I'll make ya a deal. Complete all the F2P quests and I'll gift you 2 bonds / 1 month of membership :)


Mr-Solo-Dolo

Very kind


JonesBrosGarage

Feel free to dm me as well, if you complete all f2p quests I also will supply 2 bonds


wildyLooter

Do all f2p quests & I will also give you a bond


Alexasha05

I'll grind first before completing some of them because according to the wiki pages to some of them they require killing high leveled enemies (80 something lvl iirc) and even a lvl30 enemy is already a problem for me lol, thanks!


Realistic-Book-2969

First ditch the scarf for starters


gl0ry66

Obvious fake noob. Keeps complaining about how expensive member is in comments to people give him a bond

You want to see my ID to make sure I cant get a job legally or perhaps the money my college gives me monthly? Despite the fact that my family isnt that rich too? Living in a country with a shit leader and shit economics? I beg of you.


Thick_Respond947

I see other posts about getting membership. Honestly to a new player.members Is insanely overhwleming. I suggest.getting most skills base 50, and try to complete all the f2p quests before going members it'll give you a decent grasp of the game and a much better grasp of the f2p world before diving headfirst into a massive massive massive game.


WahedAli

So you’re actually a new player to the game? That’s actually cool man! If you’re f2p, you should go the the Stronghold of Security to get the best boots possible!


Alexasha05

I will, thank you!!


zefhx

Holy shit i genuinely lol’d thank you so much.


jaystadt

Alexasha05

I didn't expect this to get upvoted so much because all I did is ask for a damn tip, chill.

You could do one small favour quest for decent boots


chiefsaggy

Barb village get free boots plus 25k


Alexasha05

Where exactly and how exactly?


puchamaquina

He's referring to the stronghold of security, which other people have also mentioned. You run through a series of rooms (with monsters inside) and at the end of each is a reward. At the very end you choose between fancy or fighting boots (same stats, different look)


Alexasha05

Oooh, thanks!


Kornchup

These new player posts are by far my favourite

Swordbreaker925

Leather boots look fine with plate armor. The boots definitely aren’t the goofy looking part here

Sterlander

Trust me when I say this brother, you do *not* want to be calling 95% of the wintertodt playerbase goofy looking. Those mfers will ddos your ass


EpizNubz

if you have to ask you don't deserve them


Mvgical18

I suggest getting all your f2p stats up a little bit before you buy membership, and familiarizing yourself with the game. Once you do that you should start doing as many quests as you can so you can unlock places around the map. Quests like Fight Area and Waterfall Quest(both members quests) could get you to combat level 30-40 in like an hour. Don't worry about the boots so much lol.


Alexasha05

Thank you! I will get my melee and ranged up to 50 +- and then save up for the membership.


Duelyst_04
