United StatesTo satisfy your curiosity on what it would look like:
I remember seeing an unlisted video of Framed dying to a jail guard too... not particularly interesting though, lol
Please change the name "Runescape 3" to "RuneScape" to match the current branding. This change happened several years back, just now getting around to fixing everything. https://www.speedrun.com/rs
Developer's official page, showing the branding as "RuneScape" https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/products
Would also be consistent the already correctly-named "Old School RuneScape" https://www.speedrun.com/osrs
This sounds fun, kind of hard to make an actual leaderboard with how much luck there is though. Feel free to join the discord linked in the sidebar if you want to talk about this some more. Do hidey holes count as "from scratch"? I think easy clues would be a pretty strong start.
All of our current categories either require starting from a fresh account or using a members account to redo a minigame/quest. So no, using an existing members account does not count for Dragon Slayer. If you have any ideas for other categories feel free to try them!
I don't know the people who maintain the spreadsheet. This site also isn't very good when you have TONS of sub-categories, it's hard to find exactly what you want. Not worth the effort to fix something that isn't broken.
A group of PvMers keeps track of them here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RnVGPcgEElxxjju39YRdfw6ZhnTwh3vkZQektsj6S1g/pubhtml#
I was initially against breaking the "spirit" of the game originally because I've played runescape for quite some time and have always stuck to Jagex's intentions. For example, the newspost for ironman mode (http://services.runescape.com/m=news/ironman-mode?oldschool=1) states "No help from other players; if you're an ironman, you are on your own." Although they left ashes in, I believe this is a glitch allowing help from other players. When a more serious glitch was found (https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/552eyq/bug_game_breaking_ironman_bug_glitch/), Jagex took action and de-ironed all players who used the glitch at all. This shows they are serious about preserving the independence of ironman mode; ashes are known, but it's likely not worth the engine work to assign a player ID to each fire to ensure ironmen can only get their own ashes, and it only has like one use ever.
However, EZscape's "I really can't think of a commonly ran any% speedrun that is ran with the "spirit" of the game in mind, or at least how the developers intended the game to be played." makes me believe differently. It shouldn't be a matter of respecting the game, it should be a matter of going fast, like any SPEEDrun.
Therefore, my stance is multilogging is acceptable. Use all the fires, ashes, safespots, trades, scouts, and wine restocks that you can.
In order to keep the barrier to entry low, however, the categories should still be separated by a "multilog" tag like BOTW's Amiibos. Most new (and old) runners will not wish to get an account up to the status of being able to assist with shield of arrav or do the micromanagement across multiple clients.
(if we're sticking to the original spirit of the game, should we be using count check? chronicle? none of these were originally in the game)
Have fun farming 25 dead accounts for bones!
We could add categories for all of the clue scroll tiers if there's interest. A lodestone-only category would not be popular or fun because it arbitrarily slows down the clue and makes some locations extremely annoying to get to. Also join our discord https://discord.gg/EhAfGND
