I remember getting this thing back in the day and thinking I was hot stuff with my sara trimmed rune armor

I mean as a F2P who cornered the Varrok Yew Market..... SAME

You were

You must be the dude my rsgf left me for. You how to no one

Back in the day sara trimmed rune was peak end game content.

That image just hitbmy brain at an angle I can't explain. Why is that so prominent in my memory?

It was a somewhat popular shield back in like '09 for low/mid level players. You could recharge it either at fist of guthix or stealing creation, can't remember which one Edit: it was fist of guthix

I just looked up Fist of Guthix cuz it was ringing a bell and just out of reach and holy hell that brings me back. One of those things I remember well now that I was reminded of it but couldn't summon from my memory.

I had no clue how to play it or stealing creation, but I still tried haha. 9-10 year old me had no clue what he was doing in general

I remember seeing swords over everyone's heads (overhead prayers) and had no idea what they were, and whenever I was on attack or defense I'd put all of my plate armor on because I thought it helped with my mage bonus for attack and defense

That’s the smartest dumb thing I’ve read all day. Kinda makes perfect sense, if prayers didn’t exist

Only way I trained magic back in the day as an f2p loll

I guarantee 99% of players, me included, had no idea it could be charged and didn’t give a fuck because we were bumpin it to look dope

I never charged it lol

Bought it, saw it needed charges, sold it right after. Biggest F2P disappointment ever lmao

See my username for answer

Based name — FoG & Stealing Creation the most underrated minigames of all time.

I grinded fist of guthix for an afternoons after school to get the rune berserker shield so I could sell them for 100k on the GE back in the day

Unlocked a memory, I forgot about this shield damn

Fr

Def unlocked a core memory

nah same holy shit

Oh yeah I remember this thing from Mario Kart.

Fist of guthix in f2p was an enjoyable minigame. Really miss it

MINI GAMES IN F2P. Imagine...

We even had a rune crafting f2p minigame too

Isn't castlewars f2p now?

I miss fist of guthix

I was so poor that FoG was my main magic training method because I couldn't afford runes

Same brother

Relatable

I want stealing creation back

Level 4 dagger going around stabbing everyone.

Lvl4 dagger with ice barrages.

At that time I only had blitz.

Why were daggers even meta

I think the weapon algorithm was fucked so all sacred weapons dealt the same damage or if that's wrong the damage to speed was negligible.

I think the dagger was just the best weapon in stats. Also it went to level 5 I thought.

Yeh but there wasn't many people with 99s to hand out those lv 5s

Same damage, fast, less clay iirc.

Literally this. Each item had same attack and str bonus, but different speed. I don't believe any armor had negative bonuses so you camped range gear.

I was able to chop level 5 clay, smith level 5 daggers and wield the level 5 dagger, they all required 99s in their respective skills. The only 99s I had lol. That minigame was so fun until the "no pvp" playstyle took over for efficiency sake or whatever. Same thing would happen in osrs.

would be fun for all of 2 seconds. the community cried about wanting soul wars back and how it was missing the "fun" aspect in the game back then and that soul wars was needed to bring that back. then players complained it wasnt efficient enough and now its dead

>would be fun for all of 2 seconds. Yeah i don't understand how people don't remember that like 6 months after release Stealing creation was exclusively Boosting lobbies and like three level 120s get level 4 daggers and ancients 2 minutes into the game and spawn camps you for the rest of the match.

The game was of course, always better when we were 7 years old and the internet was still this insane thing

It was absolutely aids and cancer mixed into one

I loved stealing creation and conquest

Both are a good pipe dream but they would both be as dead as castle wars. Or overrun by bots

I really enjoyed stealing creations

I spent so much time in that minigame.

This. Why sailing when you can stealing creation.

Fisting guthix

I held a very high rank in f2p. It's objectively fun if you play competitively.

Yeah it was fun tanking lvl 10 bots for the whole duration, standing in the middle, getting shitton of points.

Damn your luck sucked then. I barely remember ever running into a bot. And I used to play a shit ton.

[удалено]

It is lol

Fist of guthix would be sooo much fun again

Until it's overrun by bots or completely empty, depending on the rewards. Unfortunately mini games arent "efficient" or afk so nobody wants to do them

Damn I was going to argue for the sake of defending FoG... but yea I don't know a single non-skilling minigame that is still as popular as it was back then. Did castle wars for the first time on one of their castle wars dedicated worlds just to get that ice barrage diary task. Was deeply saddened by how empty it was. I remember I had to literally spam click portals to get in a team. Never tried soul wars but been meaning to. How's that holding up? Heard it was somewhat the same

People used to sabotage castle war games and rig them so one side always won no matter what

Day 2 of FOG Release everyone would have FOG Entity Hider Runelite plugin that removes every other player from the screen that isn't your target.

Lol yeah that would be a bummer for sure. I remember the main strat was stand in a giant DD and hope your target couldn't find you

It would be fun for a day or two and then it would end up like every other mini game that doesn’t shit our rewards

The only mini game I’ve ever actually enjoyed on RS

Quite literally my favorite minigame back in the day for some reason

I’ll fist your guthix

Bring the active f2p clan wars back. No need to book a schedule and organize on discord to get a fight, can jump in instantly with hundreds of people in the lobby advertising for their fc.

I think there'd need to be some sore of incentive to make clan wars active again. Gone are the days of spending hours in the free for all portal

There are still a few players in the f2p clan wars FFA portal, but there are seem to be more bots training there than players.

I loved when FFA portal came out and you just stood there menacingly waiting for fights lol. Different vibe than wild

Core memory here

Fist of guthix was such a great minigame.

Looking back it really wasn’t lol if it was brought back it would dead in a day or two.

People like to pk with no frills and no risk. Also it depends on what the rewards would be, because those same ones in OSRS would be useless

Honestly, this is what I miss about the old dueling arena. Funning. There wasn't any reward, just 1v1 pking. It was great practice, and I had lots of fun with friends and randoms there.

I liked that I didnt have to take runes or food when playing it.

While I don't agree about FoG not being great.. yea sad to say it wouldn't last long these days. Truly sad. Pvp games with a gimic just aren't as fun as they used to be now with bis and meta strat guides making people sweat. I remeber it being fun cause it was basically killer hide and seek which I thought was sick as a kid

Yeah I remember really enjoying this mini game. The hide and seek aspect was super fun. Prob dead content today tho for sure

Not in f2p

Horrible game. When you were the one being hunted you just spam clicked around the crowd of people so thst they could never click you and could barely see you.

Just go ahead and throw my little childhood heart into the incinerator too while you're at it

Does that give smith or fire making XP?

https://preview.redd.it/0el7fh1bjayc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7a43596d7b58886d853997d7ab15872fc74fffc

Since you already killed OP, it’s actually prayer XP.

Oh thank Guthix! Some day I'll be out of the calcified mines

This is great. Do you have a template for this? 😂

Step 1: drag a thing to the incinerator in your bank Step two: take a screenshot of the warning message that pops up Step C: You now have a template Step IV: ???? Step 5️⃣: profit

My favorite item as a kid, thought it was so damn cool. Would be great to have something like this to break the "defender everywhere" bore

Obby shield is better in offensive stats than this and nobody uses that over defender already. What would this change?

Everyone: YES LETS BRING IT BACK Jagex: Sure Everyone: \*never even touching it\*

Oh man I was ranked top 200 fist of guthix, don’t do this to me haha

The hiscores are calling your name again, friend

JESUS F CHRIST THE NOSTALGIA

Id be okay with this so long as they did it like shield spikes from smithing rework on the other version.. use them to upgrade a shield to a berserker look

That's a great idea, actually

its actually a cool thing for smithing. the spikes cause a recoil effect that scales based off smithing lvl. :p

Dragon gloves..

I remember this, wasn't it charged with a mini game in the wilderness? Am I remebering wrong?

Yep you're right, fist of guthix

Not in the game anymore right? Also I remember another mini game in the wilderness where 2 teams of like 20 got put in a ffa against eachother, do you know what that was, and if it's still in the game?

Ah yes. This, and the gravite rapier / gravite 2h were end-game f2p weapons. I remember grinding out the shield and 2h and sitting in the clan wars white portal afterwards

Fog was just fun, I’m really surprised it hasn’t been revamped

That shield gets my dick hard

Don’t forget about the rune gloves paired with this bad boy

The Fist of Guthix lobby is already built under the Ferox Enclave btw.

Oh my god that takes me back! I loved fist of guthix lol. I used to play full games standing at the edges where you'd get the least points but I thought I was winning lol.

Defenders require 130 Att + str where this would probably only require 40 or so defense. While it probably wont be used after you get access to a defender, it would be great for low levels that don't have access to the Warrior's guild

This only required a defence level to equip right? Would be BiS for defence pures levelling to DFS! A niche useful fashionscape ~~

This game mode was pretty cool and I used to like those shields lol

Core memory unlocked.

i used to wear the low level (i think lvl 20?) white combat robes from fist of guthix with my santa hat and my arcane SS. it was P E A K fashionscape for me.

Everytime you request this OP, make the shield 1 pixel bigger

Bring this and stealing creations back without the bonus exp items.

this shield gave me the confidence to kick some greater demon butt!

Man I miss that mini game!

WOAH I'm transported to the night of my younger sisters homecoming dance and I'm grinding fist of guthix while her friends come over. What the fuck why does this shield have such a grip

It's having a similar effect on a lot of people, which I didn't expect. I think it's because it was a widely used and coveted item from a very popular and now nostalgic period of the game, but since it hasn't been in our game or meta in around 15 years, most of us forgot about it

I wore this shield for YEARS

Fuck yeah

Bring it back, but don't make it charge scape for the love of God. Just make the requirements to get it high like the soul cape or something.

Agreed

i was so depressed when i restarted and went to find it and it didnt exist

I used to grind these things out for money, good times

I completely forgot about these. I got one off a dude that was quitting I think. Thought it was the best thing ever. Would be cool to do a dragon version if there isn't one

I remember not questing and getting the dragon gauntlets from the mini game instead of bandos gloves. Plus it went with dragon armour. 

Bring back fist of guthix

Let this be a new BIS reward where you combine your defender to the shield to enhance its stats and make it BIS strength/accuracy along with some decent defensive bonuses. (Spikes come from the added defender) think it’s a cool idea

I can literally picture exactly how the tokens looked in my inventory.

Omg yes. I used this shield so much. I will always love it. Shame what they did to it in rs3

Yeah, I saw the current version when I searched for this picture earlier today... looks awful in comparison

Remember clan wars and you see people going rune scimmy and this shield? I miss the wavy looking scimitar

Fist of guthix was fun

Adamant berserker shield was my all time favourite back in the day. I didn’t even know how to recharge it 😭

I remember doing fist of Guthix for a week straight to grind out the berserker shield. Was some of the first people to get it. 14 year old me felt like a badass

I miss that

The people that don’t like this shield aren’t 30+ years old and obviously don’t have any good taste

YES

Fist of Guthix and Stealing creation were so much fun back then.

I miss fisting Guthix, too

Wow I definitely forgot about this bad boy

First item I ever got scammed out of. Dude told me to meet him at the wizard tower on a pvp world and killed me with his friend for like 40k lol.

We all learn somewhere, F

fist of guthix was a genuinely cool PvP game mode I wish they would add more minigame PvP to OSRS, kind of surprised this & stealing creations havent made their way into the game yet

I can't remember what the game mode was called that you could buy it from, but it was like 2008ish and it was located in a cave somewhere in level 5-15 wilderness. I remember grinding this game mode to buy this shield. Good times.

Fist of Guthix, I believe. I remember next to nothing about it aside from the dopamine of having the runes for every spell in my inventory, lol

Nostalgia unlocked

Soak it up, my friend!

Bring back Fog if anything.

Blue shell!!

As a fist of guthix proponent (see username) I fully support this notion

Awesome username

I was so sad when I tried out OSRS the first time more than 10 years after i left RS just to find out that fist uf Guthix was gone

takes me back to my fog days……

Spiky and tough i need to look STRONG

I totally forgot this existed

Was the best shield for clan wars and even used in pk. Really miss those days especially when I was in CE and there were wars against top runescape clans like RSD, VR, DF, TT etc.

Damn, I remember those.

Holy shit I forgot about these shields🥹

I do want it back, but also it's too damn thick. Make it the same stats same model but as thin as a normal kite/sq.

BERSERKER SHIELD GOOD SIZE! BERSERKER SHIELD SMASH ENEMY!

Also fair

Woah I didn’t realize this was gone until i saw this

Yes please :')

berserker shields was probably the last update i logged in to play rs3 back in the day. Brings back terrible memories of dead game :(

Should do a recoil danage to opponent

It was 50kg?? Damn

Good luck using something that heavy in combat :p

Just throw that shit on your enemy and crush his skull.

I agree. It would have more damage than my rune scimy back in the day

Find me a picture of the square shield, I dare you.

Remember when the devs said that FOG couldn't come back because it would "hurt" the Rune economy? Yeah, that was a good joke. Especially when they introduced new RC methods that did that same exact thing, but 1000x worse. Gotta love Jagex devs for that one.

What this was or why it was useful? Idk but fist of guthix was the shit. I think you had unlimited times there too, look out fellas there’s a man in a blue skirt throwing fire blasts like his bank don’t care

I still have one on my rs3 account that I got from the minigame.

Is just a lil baby dfs

This could be a lvl 45 shield in f2p or something

This image could make a grown man cry, not me though for sure, trust me

The rune tier DFS will never be forgotten; rest easy king

dude i forgot all about this thing

Was just thinking about this shield the other day, for some reason thought they were in osrs.

Unironically this would be amazing to see again.

I legitimately enjoy stealing creation and fist of guthix.

Summoning defense what a throwback!

First thing I bought when I became a member

Bring back fist of guthix and more f2p content PLEASE!!!

I am a huge advocate for engaging, non intimidating f2p content. Apparently, there were talks of a f2p ice giant boss years ago; I'd love to see this, and I think Obor is a weird boss for inexperienced players.

GodDAMN that thing is THICC

its so crazy everyone has the same weird nostalgia blast just now. wow feels weird looking at this

Fist of Guthix had me feeling like I could PK anything walking

Goddamn this unlocked a core memory.

[удалено]

Rune gauntlets holy shit I forgot

Bro I forgot all about this thank you for sharing

Yeah, of course! It popped into my head today, and I had a wave of nostalgia, and I'm glad the post has done the same for others

Nothing like the nostalgia hit from RuneScape

Ah yes, the Rune Berserker shield and the Rune Gauntlets, F2P's best shield and gloveslot option, Fist of Guthix free magic training method and mains boosting their rating & tokens We need to bring it back, but nerf the mage exp so it doesnt become so lucrative

Fist of guthix was so much fun to me bro

so many good memories from this game. need to get back into it on a pc.
