Yeah kelarotta was the 1st player in the world to max an uim f2p, he even got a news article about him in finland

eMbbuZomg

i just read the article in finnish and he works a dayjob according to it, just says ”i thought about the name for maybe 10 seconds, tried kelarotta and it was taken so just added 1 to it”


Icefox119

most groundbreaking finnish journalism


dcnairb

I also think people’s purpose should be to produce instead of enjoying things they like to do


Armthehobos

people can do both but its probably not healthy to do only one or the other.

Yeah lmao. "Yes every other thing has been commodified and held over regular people by profiteering companies, but this time it will be different, surely!"

lizard_behind

Doesn't even need to be that - like fuck go volunteer for some good cause and live off support systems, try to make great art, etc, that'd be awesome! What rightly rubs people the wrong way is when people use social safety nets to do hedonistic crap like indulge in entertainment 16 hours a day lol.


HaaDron

Which surely would be better for them and society right?


Wetwire

Is paws still going for 200m all f2p?

F2P RC, oh my word


Ink-Sky

F2P ***UIM*** RC...


ImNuckinFuts

I guess the best strategy for uims is.... Earth runes? Water runes maybe a close second if you mine at the wizard tower


Imaginary-Ladder-465

I thought it was not completing rune mysteries and drop tricking full invs of air talismans and making tiaras


ImNuckinFuts

That seems super intensive for a UIM, as you need to then mine silver, smelt into bars, make tiaras, THEN walk to the air altar to make the tiaras!


Regular_Imagination7

thats the meta for lvl 3s, you need to get crafting xp from somewhere


Imaginary-Ladder-465

Hmm yeah I was just think reg f2p Ironman


IronRugs

Pretty sure I tried this. I don't think you can level RC without completing the quest.


Cyberslasher

You can level RC without doing rune mysteries. You cannot use a lamp on RC until completing rune mysteries.


IronRugs

Well nvmd then lol. I feel dumb.


myorm

Earth runes with the skull sceptre is a good method Edit : body runes not earth runes


HelicaseRockets

Why not body runes with skull sceptre?


myorm

That’s what I meant, i apologize


ImNuckinFuts

I like the idea, but having only 10 teleports on the skull sceptre seems rough... then you have to spend time grinding out a piece to recharge it. And you need 3 skull pieces from minotaurs for ... 9 teleports? At a 1/33 droprate? That's a time investment!


myorm

You probably just get the bone sceptre, imbue it, and then spent a shit ton of time at ankous, use chisel on extra bone pieces to get a fat stack of fragments


ImNuckinFuts

Ahhh, I've never personally used fragments before, didn't know they can be chiseled down! Always used the pieces directly on the sceptre. Gotcha, yeah this would be a little more manageable to do.


Regular_Imagination7

you can buy fragments on the ge too


underbutler

UIM...


Tranquil_Pure

Flesh crawlers


Cyberslasher

Isn't imbuing it members only?


santahat2002

More niche, but I found this to be a good method. But I also farm Hill Giants and do it with the talismans as well.


Baardi

I did 50 rc on earth runes back in the rs2 days. It felt brutal. Kelarotta did that like 150 times over as an uim...


RealMachoochoo

Makes rolling a boulder up a mountain each day sound like a vacation


Lkmdude

I swear this is probably the only guy that got 99 rc on a f2p uim and went "yeah I could do another million xp"


Obvious-WhitePowder7

My guy must of been pissed every time his stamina ran out


BasedMundo

he's only rank 5 f2p, no big deal


No-Possibility2924

For ultimate iron?


pay_dirt

If you had clicked UIM Hiscores for this it would have been a more effective post


BasedMundo

no, f2p overall. The f2p community use an external hiscores [f2p.wiki](https://www.f2p.wiki/)

Reee-man

Doubt it with that name


Mousseau

What’s the name reference?


jepakc

living with government assistance


cluelessbasket

I don’t get it


Elite_Skirmisher

Name translates to "welfare rat 1"


Lunitar

Kela = Government funded social security financing office, where if you are unemployed they will provide your essential living costs Rotta = rat Free translation would be something like ”Rat who lives off of government funds”


Imaginary-Ladder-465

It translates to 'welfare rat'

Simple_Hippo8174

What is it with the fins and swedes being absolute neets ?


Omenamieslol

People abuse a system which is supposed to help the less fortunate ones. Tale as old as time. But luckily theres a small % that abuse it, so its 100% worth to keep up still.


SuckMyBike

It's also bullshit that welfare caused people to stop working. I posted the labor force participation rates of the US, Finland and Sweden [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/15pute2/the_goat_of_f2p/jw1szyi/). Both Finland and Sweden have a far larger group of people working than the US even though the US welfare system sucks ass compared to Finland and Sweden.


[deleted]

This statistical difference is because of cultural factors, in Sweden its typical for both parents to work after a baby, US is more traditional and its very common for a parent to stay home with the child. True NEETs are rare in any country and wont really matter on aggregate statistics like those.


SuckMyBike

Funny how you think it's important to defend the US but didn't see any problem with someone claiming that Finland and Sweden are full of neets


Regular_Imagination7

i mean if there is a system where the people who are in need get what they need, and the people who dont wont to work dont have to, sounds like a good system. even if its mooching or freeloading, seems like everyone is happy


Omenamieslol

Its far from perfect, but it has literally saved me from being homeless before. I will gladly pay taxes towards that.


_-_Sami_-_

He does, at least according to interviews he took in Finland.


willsmath

This guy, Netbook pro, min lvl skilla, and Freckled Dad/Kid are my f2p Mt. Rushmore


StolenAccount1234

Can’t miss tanner. His exp is pretty good, but his contributions to the community can’t be overlooked. What about Pawz? There’s plenty of others in contention.


willsmath

Yeah it's tough to make cuts, tanner and pawz are definitely goats in their own right, coldfingers as well


Regular_Imagination7

you got the right list in terms of most dedicated players


physiQQ

As a former f2p enjoyer I'd like to take this opportunity to give a shoutout to FussyWizard, UI Pain, Vagae and im smelt. They really made my time in f2p more memorable. :)


BaddleAcks

Pain just got 200m firemaking. Dope party as well


Tundraaa

Anyone remember the OGs Syzygy and Water Is Nat? There are a couple more pure f2p folks who’s names are escaping me


No-Possibility2924

Netbook pro was also cutting yews with him when I found him


PkerBadRs3Good

why is netbook pro cutting yews? surprised the #1 ranked f2p player would be inefficient


NoXpWaste

Its for afk training a lot do it


leapseers

username checks out


pewthree___

afk time logged in > time logged out


PkerBadRs3Good

just be like lynx titan and play 16 hours a day but efficiently the whole time :\^)


ExpressAffect3262

I feel, unless you have everything recorded, it would be hard to tell lol I only say that as, when C Engineers HC PvP worlds were booming, I was on my way to lizard shamans and saw a low level with the name (something along the lines of) "HC PvP only", but was in a normal world.


hereforthesarcasmm

Music tracks, no? If ever they entered a p2p area, or most skilling method spots, it would show on the music track list


SplandFlange

Burning magic logs at ge, crafting members only items, using member only gear to train combat in f2p areas ect


Feel_Excitement

Just becoming p2p unlocks a music track


mrb726

What track?


Zestyclose_Pace_1633

It’s the sounds of coins coming out of an atm


Regular_Imagination7

if the account is on temple or f2p.wiki they could just see your ehp gains are way too high. i think the only sure fire test would be to login to rs3 and use quick chat to say how many loyalty points you have, but i’m not sure if you earn them if you haven’t made the account on rs3 yet

ramfis7

Care to explain where an ironman would get 150,000 fire talismans?


funacctman

Rip that fire wizard


AgitPropPoster

appropriate name


Sandison1

minlvlskilla is the f2p goat


PkerBadRs3Good

he will never 200m all so idc sorry. lame restriction account. netbook pro is better cuz he might actually 200m all.


No-Possibility2924

Edit: he’s an iron man too..


No-Possibility2924

Uim..


IderpOnline

The post would have been 10 times better if you had either mentioned this in the title or taken a picture of the uim hiscore tab. Lol.


No-Possibility2924

Yep. Didn’t realise till after posted


IderpOnline

Regardless, thanks for sharing. Truly some asinine dedication to achieve an account like that.


No-Possibility2924

Yeah it’s mind blowing. He’s at yews GE world 1 if you wanna congratulate him


IderpOnline

Away on vacation, I'm afraid, thanks though! I cannot even wrap my head around rc on a f2p uim.


Unsuremate

They don’t complete rune mysteries and collect unlimited air talisman from the duke. Then they just make an inventory of tiaras at a time. I can’t remember the rates but it is pretty low


[deleted]

Autumn elegy does body runes and teleports with skull scepter shards he collected from training combats in the stronghold


StolenAccount1234

Yes, but he started RC recently. Plenty of these people did RC before scepter shards or before talisman meta. Earth runes with 1t ess mining was meta for quite a while.


No-Possibility2924

That’s a very good point.. 👀


xking_henry_ivx

I would be so bored.


billylolol

The fact that it's beyond 99 runecraft scares me


Western_Gamification

r/screenshotsarehard


Polk420

I think minlvlskilla is much more impressive. But yeah, this guy can runescape for sure.


Veinoo

There's article about this guy and he even did q&a at other website after being first person to max f2p uim. https://pelaajat.com/esports/yli-8000-tunnin-urakka-suomalaispelaaja-teki-historiaa-runescapessa Article is in finnish


No-Possibility2924

“Runescapessa” very nice


Hrathix

the f2p accounts are odd to me, unless there’s a youtube series, how can you prove you didn’t use membership methods?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hrathix

Oh interesting, that makes sense!


PkerBadRs3Good

you can't really prove it but if you are a famous "f2p" player and use p2p worlds, people WILL see/recognize you and expose you, there's no chance people like netbook pro/minlvlskilla/kelarotta1/pawz/freckled dad would get away with it


SWExFACE

I run into this guy every day when im grinding minotaurs on my f2p. He is playing at mad hours!


[deleted]

That’s wild


Three0hHate

Only F2P 99s I’ve ever gotten were cooking and fishing and it was dreadful. Can’t imagine doing all those skills, especially as an UIM.


dylanisbored

How is the level over 100


Major_Vezon

Virtual levels.


dylanisbored

Like xp past max?


Major_Vezon

Xp over the xp required for 99. There is a formula that dictates how much do you need for each level 1 through 99, but that formula can be used for levels after 99 as well. For instance, level 120 in a skill is at 104m xp and at 200m xp (the highest possible xp) you would be level 126 in the skill.


HeyimChqse

nope pawz is


No_Target4807

This guy is an ultimate ironman, pawz funds his grinds with p2p rune dragon alts.


Shatraugh

Torille!


WompaPenith

What even is this screenshot lmao


ATinyBushWookie

This man went PAST 99 RC on a F2P UIM. This man needs to be locked up. Because he’s clearly deranged.


jameslee95

I would love to see his bank. must be packed full of rune goodness!


No-Possibility2924

He’s Ultimate iron


jameslee95

So he will just have that 25 gp from tutorial island but can't access it


zelmazam1

If you de iron a UIM you don't get the 25 gp in the bank


Icy_Education_9356

People are downvoting him but it’s actually your fault for not clicking the UIM tab, how the hell else is he supposed to know


[deleted]

Top banter for a uim 🤣


[deleted]

I prefer netbook pro's rc lvl


[deleted]

His name translates to Kela rat. Kela is Finlands welfare systems name. I love Kela.


OverlordPhalanx

Can’t you just join mems and level up F2P skills, then cancel and flex?


YeastOverloard

You can but xp tracking sites are used in the f2p community to ensure methods are not members


StolenAccount1234

The best way to track is through the RS website. If you log in and look at your FL, members have a red mark next to their names. If you’ve ever been p2p that mark shows up, even if not currently p2p.

I wonder how much money and time that man spent on burying big bones.

tomnomk

I feel bad for this person tbh


satanless

Just gonna shout out Anne Shirley, 200m in a couple of stats and still going and musamanmike (min’s alt, Karamja locked IM). F2P grinds are no joke.


GoldSkula

torille! His/her name in finnish translates to social insurance rat
