35 RS3 Videos to Watch from the Month of May
Hello folks, I think some of the reddit folks remember my post from a few months ago which was a list of all the currently active RS3 YouTube Content Creators (which has already changed since some people have become active again), if you haven't here is the link. I had previously posted a similar spotlight post of some of the best RS3 videos for the Month of March and April an wanted to keep it to a monthly theme and have created this May centered post.
These are my opinions but I will provide the title of the video, the name of the creator, a summary of the video and the link of said video.
These videos will be listed based on the alphabetical order of the titles and is not a ranking guide since some of these videos are basically raw and unpolished. Please note a majority of these creators do not make RS3 Content as a profession and they post these videos as a passion project for the game we all enjoy and play, RuneScape 3. If you enjoy any of these videos, please like, comment and subscribe to whichever Creators you enjoyed.
59s Raksha
PupRs
If you haven't heard of Pup, you've been living under a rock for the last few years in RuneScape. Known as one of the best PvM'ers, a notorious Clue Chaser, recently Animation Expert and a multitude of other titles that he has probably had over the years he's played the game, has done something that has long been attempted but not achieved. He has reached sub one minute for the Raksha boss solo. The reason why this is so impressive is that most people consider this as the hardest boss to solo in RuneScape 3 to date and that sub one minute would take another few years with the additional power creep that naturally happens. I recommend watching the video to see all the perfect dodges, ability usages and timing of rotations to see this impressive feet be completed.
2:54 #1 Warp Trio (we finally beat the 306)
Dat James
Spoilers ahead, with the new information of what is planning to be released based off the End of Year Roadmap, we have big changes coming for Daemonheim. Now we know that the surface world is going to be graphically reworked, but the question is, will the Dungeons also be affected? Well, that's going to be an interesting question, that Dat James and his team will have to figure out again now that they just broke the Warp Floor Trios by beating it in sub 3 minutes for the first time ever.
Best AFK Training Methods for Every Skill in RuneScape 3
Silenced
I have included another AFK guide that focused more on the extremely lengthy grinds in this list but this guide by Silenced covers all the skills. If you’re a much more casual player, a lot of these methods that Silenced goes in detail about are highly achievable. He might've missed a few, so if you have any others that the comments haven't picked up you might want to post it in the comments of his video for a future updated video, he makes of this.
Dragonstone Jewellery Crafting is AFK & Huge Profit! One of the Must Buy Items from Bonus XP Live?
Meep272
Out of all the new RuneScape 3 Content Creators, the man who knows the best about all the hidden money makers is a man known as Meep272. He has a multitude of different series types that focus on making money, they range from money making as a new account (Road to Ult Alt), to RS Wiki Money Makers Monthly Review, to Marketwatch (where he follows the trends of items) and a few more. This particular video I have highlighted for the month is his bread-and-butter style video format where he goes into detail about one of the Crafting Skills most popular money-making method in RuneScape 3. If you’re a new or returning player, his videos are an excellent guide on how to make money with modern day skilling activities.
Evening Fishing #runescape #fishing #animation

Check out this short showcasing his animation skills where the man is Fishing at a quaint location with the Tavia Fishing Rod. If you are looking for a better version of this video, I recommend checking out one of the top posts of this month on the subreddit or going to his Twitter/X page.
Fashionscape: Fremennik Outfits - Runescape (Female Outfits)
Wings of Absurdity
With the new graphical rework of Raellka that looks breathtaking may I say, Wings of Absurdity has showcased a set of Fremennik Themed Outfits in her FashionScape Showcase. There's a lot of unique elements she utilizes that many people have forgotten but the highlights are her drinking scenes, pet interactions (I love the bear and the first big cat) and just the aesthetic style of clothing the Fremennik wear. Jagex, if your reading this please update the NPC models to wear clothes like these especially the Freminnik Warrior Outfits she created!
Great Gielinor Run Runescore Achievement done in Under 5 Minutes !
Trye RS
Trye RS, posts a variety of guides and money makers but this new one is a game changer especially if you're aiming for the Completionist Cape. In this video, he showcases a new speed running method that makes it possible to do exactly what he explains in the title. Normally a very stressful achievement but this new tech that he cooks up is an amazing shortcut that really makes the achievement a lot more reasonable. Make sure you do this quickly before the method gets patched!
How I FARM CORES at Arch Glacor: RS3 200ks Guide
CarguyRS
Arch Glacor is the most farmed Boss in RuneScape 3 for various reasons. Now most people are usually using the boss to get the insane Summoning Charm drops with the occasional rares but if you want actual Money while fighting the boss, Mr Carguy RS teaches the ways to Farm Cores at this boss. In this guide, he showcases recommended gear, numerical stats with optimum gear but the most important portion of the video is the exact positioning of where to place yourself in the various different enrage mechanics of the boss. Like normal the man knocked it out of the park with this great high end pvm guide.
I Got An Early Sneak Peak Of RuneScape’s Most IMPACTFUL Update
ChevalricRS
Many of the folks who have probably watched YouTube RuneScape content have probably seen a video or two of Chevalric's content. In the current era of the game, he has transitioned from his completionist content to providing feedback videos about the latest content being released. Contrasting to his normal videos is this video about the upcoming update for next week which he has been advocating for over the past year. I'm not going to leak what the video is about, but I think it is a very valuable topic and I am happy that Chevalric has had such a positive impact that has resulted in massive improvements for the RuneScape community.
I killed Dagannoth Kings for 10 Hours without Banking!!
JC RS
A veteran creator who focuses on mostly bossing content or unique challenges, JC RS showcases his grinding capabilities at the Dagannoth Kings in this video. Considered as one of the easier tier bosses, this trio requires understanding of prayer switching affectively. In this long 10-hour grind, where he showcases his boss drops every step, we find out the bosses aren't the tough part of the challenge it's something else completely.
Import RS3 Models into Blender
PupRs
One of the coolest videos of the month is by PupRS and it’s been a hidden secret for most of the normal content creators for a long time. However, if you've seen any OSRS content, you've seen this type of content for a long time which is Custom Avatar/Location placement that they use in their Thumbnails. In this excellent tutorial video, he showcases the viewers on how to import your avatar into a 3d modeling program along with a location you have in mind. Using that information, he then showcases the initial process on how to play with some of the cool features to get some awesome looking imagery/poses.
In the Beginning | Semi-Extreme Onechunk Ironman RS3 #1
Captain Smosh
We have a new Chunkman in RS3 and he goes by the name of Captain Smosh. Starting from the iconic Lumbridge Chunk that Limpwurt starts in OSRS, his first video showcases some of the insane new grinds that are needed to be completed to leave this Chunk in RuneScape 3.
Jagex Deleted England: Rellekka’s Graphical Update, Hitlist Patches, Persuading the 2024 Roadmap
RSBANDB
RuneScape has gone through many iterations but one of the oldest communities that has existed for almost 20 years is this community known as RuneScape Bits & Bytes. They go by RSBandB on YouTube and have a variety of different social media profiles. Currently their most well recognized piece of content is their Podcast/Video which reviews the weekly updates which they have been doing for almost 1,000 episodes at this point. I highly recommend watching or listening to this podcast where they go detail by detail over every single thing that happens in RuneScape with a variety of guests. This selected video is pre-roadmap reveal where the hosts review the massive Rellakka’s rework, Calendar updates and a multitude of other items that were surprise releases.
Let’s Talk About Necromancy’s Visual Design Part 2 – Ft. Bucket Cultist
A C P L
In the second video of his study of the Necromancy Visual Design, A C P L with Bucket List (an Art themed content creator), go through a variety of different ideas that they think Jagex can utilize for the next level of development for Necromancy but before doing this they restudy the visual aspects of Necromancy and what themes they currently represent with a recap of what they learned from the first episode. If you are a fan of new weapon / new conjours / new themes for necromancy, this is a fun video to watch where both of the creators are dissecting what currently exists in game and how it can look in the future.
Marthh’s Road to 5.8B XP | Episode #9 – Necromancy completed, time for 200M’s!
Runescapers
A majority of the end game player base is chasing for the 5.8 billion experience number, but most people don't make video content about it. In this video we follow Runescapers aka Marthh who showcases his massive grinds for the last several months. This very slice of life like video is a nice casual watch with solid edits, numerical stats for progression and some other fun stuff. I recommend his series and this video in particular to be a great casual watch while you’re at work and occasionally pop back in to see some of the highlights.
On the Menu: Cooking my way through Geilinor (Part 1)
MenuGuide
An awesome video by Menuguide which is completely different from the normal RuneScape 3 content you find. She normally streams her RuneScape 3 shenanigans and accomplishments on Twitch but in this video, we see her cooking up quite a few of the iconic food items in game via the new RuneScape: The Official Cookbook. This is part 1 in her food exploration, but she showcases her humor and fun personality, and I couldn’t wait to watch the next one. Check out the full video and what items she's cooking up and don't miss a step otherwise you might have landed yourself with some Rotten Food.
POV: You Are A Goblin Lumbridge
IronAraxxor
Not known for his meme capabilities, we have all underestimated Mr Iron Araxxor. In this iconic 1 million + viewed Twitter/X post (which is uncropped and better in my opinion) of his which he has also posted on his YouTube channel is a must watch of the animation skills the man has. The video speaks for itself so enjoy. Also they should add a best Meme video at the Golden Gnome Awards since I think our man has it probably wrapped up with this Short.
Putting Zamorak in his place – RS3 UIM (#28)
NixRS3
There's a few RuneScape 3 Creators who have created UIM Accounts and have posted content about it on YouTube but Nix is the first that has beaten Zamorak. If you are confused on his inventory, please read the rules in his video description where he explains everything in detail before watching the episode if this is your first time watching. Now enjoy the show of a man who has reached the late game of the Ultimate Ironman mode in RuneScape 3.
PvPlatform Intro
PvPlatform
Player verse Player in RuneScape 3 has slowly become a lost art but there's still a community that wants to rekindle its flame. In this introduction video of the PvP Community, PvPlatform showcases the different safe PvP minigames they host multiple times in a month. If you’re worried about it being a legit community, then you'll notice a few of the iconic Jagex Moderators lurking in their Discord. Even if you decide that PvP isn't your thing, check out this fun montage that their community has posted just recently to show the shenanigans they have every weekend.
Relearning Runescape – Ironman Series | Episode 1
Braygs
Braygs is one of RuneScape 3’s newest active YouTube Content Creator and has started a new ironman to explore the all the new content RuneScape has released over the last several years since he had achieved most of the big feats on his main account a long time ago. The background music, his great narration and storytelling mixed with increasingly better- and better-quality episodes makes this a series I highly recommend to watch. I’ve only recommended episode 1 but man has he improved already massively by Episode 4 in all aspects of video making.
RS3 PvP | THE WARNING | Me Bigger
ME BIGGER
A few months old, this video should've been in my January List if I made one but ME BIGGER is someone you want to watch for PvP Content. His skills for PvP are awesome but honestly his edits and music selection carry the video even harder. In a story telling format where he describes the action in his description as if it’s a play, he informs the viewer of the major scenes. A unique watch and something way different than what most people will expect.
RUNESCAPE IS BACK [SKIT]
StormionRS3
An iconic era of the RuneScape content era was the skit era which might be back. There’re a few new folks doing it of late again, one person does it by including a skit before he heads to a boss while the more classical format is what Stormion is utilizing. In this fun skit video, which I honestly don't want to explain since it’s so short and would the ruin the fun utilizes the iconic phrase of the month 'RuneScape is Back'.
STARTING THE STREAK | HCIM (#11)
Menoe
There are only a few Hardcore Ironman’s present day that elevate what the end game of bossing is and Menoe is one of them. This episode that I have shared is the beginning of the end for his account where his goal is to achieve the max streak for the Arch-Glacor. His first 10 episodes showed all the ridiculous grinds and upgrades that he had to unlock to make this even remotely possible and provides great edits showcasing the functionality of these unlocks. This video showcases the start of his long streaking fight against this powerful foe. Will he win or die? Watch the series to see if he succeeds or not, it’s definitely a thrill seeing him skirt death over and over.

LetsDiscussRs
In the continuation of the lore behind Morytania, LetsDiscussRS focuses his scope in this episode to the famous City of the Icyene; Everlight. Now in ruins which serve as an Archaeological Dig Site, LetsDiscussRS, details the arrival of the Icyene, their impact on the lands, their backstory of the race, the building of the city and how it came to be and the eventual fall of the city. If you plan to buy the upcoming RuneScape: The Fall of Hallowvale book which is releasing November, I highly recommend checking out this series to understand the depth of how in intricate RuneScape Lore goes.
The Challenge Account Begins! – RS3 Taskman Episode 1
Xamsesh
If you've seen my previous month posts, I generally like to include one Taskman video since I am a fan of watching this particular unique account series. In this video, we join Xamsesh on his introduction to the Taskman mode where the viewer sees how the account is started and how the game is played.
The Easiest way to Solo the Ambassador (T80 Necromancy, No Zuk Cape)

Well, The RS Guy has made you a great tutorial video on how to beat this boss with the perfect mid-tier set of gear that is easily accessible for any folks that are struggling with this boss.Video Link
The Mind Of A Speed Killer – 2.4s Hm Helwyr
I Dps
Have you ever thought about breaking PvM records? If so, this video is an in-depth study of all the things that a Speed runner thinks about before trying to achieve a feat. I honestly think this could be the best video of the month since I Dps explains every mechanic, every weapon choice, every ability, and strategy to the tiniest of details. I don't need to say much more besides saying go watch the video and appreciate it because it’s that good.
The Return of the King – Desert Only Hardcore Ironman (#41)
Kathaar
The most famous of all the Region Locked accounts in RuneScape 3 is a man that goes by the name of Kathaar. For the last several months he has been slumbering in the sands waiting to return to the surface lands. In this video, he has begun anew his 4-year journey to conquer the sands of the Desert. I don't need to describe it more since the video is a fun watch but if you really want to watch his earlier stuff, he’s made a compilation video of his Season 1 and Season 2 journey in the sands.

These Are ALL FREE! – Unlock Them Now!
Init Yeah
A variety of outfits that numerous people probably don't know about can be unlocked in some fun ways. In this video by Init Yeah, he goes into detail showcasing some of the best cosmetic items you can get in game that you can add to your wardrobe. Along with showcasing them he explains the numerous different methods to receive them since a solid portion of them aren't quest unlocks and are in fact hidden Jmod events, PvM rewards and more.
Vorkath, the failure – Original Composition
Gawkie
There's a lot of talented people who play RuneScape but anyone who can make music is at the upper echelon of these talented folks. This Music composition created by Gawkie is a must listen. Through his music he tries to combine the emotion of Vorkath as if he is a 'Dark Souls Boss' in his words. Give the soundtrack a listen, you might want to have it on as background music while you play RuneScape yourself.
What are the MOST AFK activities in Runescape 3?
Dr Funk Md
Dr Funk Md, an ironman who is chasing for the top of the Ironman HiScores has posted this guide showcasing some awesome and super afk (Away From Keyboard) activities for all different types of skills as an Ironman. Most of these are easily achievable and can be great grinds to knock out while you're playing at work on the phone or in the background. He provides constructive information about the positives and negatives of each activity and explains how to set these activities up.
We Rolled __ Chunks… | Extreme Chunk Locked Ironman #18 part II
Chunk Yony
If you thought Chunkman in OSRS is bad for grinds, I believe it’s worse in RuneScape 3. In this video Chunk Yony is rolling for the first time after a year of grinding. His goal? Avoiding the 120 Herb death chunk. Check out this video if you want to see his luck at rolling chunks where he and his friends are theory crafting all the painful unlocks that he might unlock.
Older Videos and Special Shoutout Videos
Not part of the monthly list of new videos but I still want to give shoutouts to some of the most iconic and best videos that I have seen over the years that people may have forgotten about in the context of a 20+ year old game. Some might be very new videos or they can be some classics. Enjoy.
Loot from 10,000 Tetra Compass/Ancient Chests – By TigerFang
TigerFang
So, one of my favorite videos of this year is from a Creator named TigerFang. If you're one of the top HiScores player, you might've heard of him, but I personally am a massive fan of his video format content. I would consider this video as one of the best videos released of this year as of yet. Yes, the title is quite crazy and impressive, but the more impressive component of this video is the raw data and statistical analysis he does for the Tetra Compass/Ancient Casket content. I recommend just watching the video since it’s just that good.
