Summary
- Old School RuneScape player achieves 200M Construction XP in a month.
- Even at high XP rates, this could have taken 250 hours or more.
- Zulohh's achievement stuns gamers, highlighting dedication and grind in Old School RuneScape.
An Old School RuneScape player has shocked the game's community, by managing to achieve 200 million Construction XP in just a month of playtime. Many players will spend years in Old School RuneScape attempting to get 200 million XP in a skill, but one player has reached the maximum number in an incredibly short space of time.
Old School RuneScape continues to go from strength to strength. Over 11 years after its initial launch, the game has become established as one of the best MMOs on the market, and its popularity even surpasses the main game, RuneScape 3. There's something about that 2007 RuneScape charm that gamers can't seem to let go of, but it's not all down to nostalgia. Jagex has done a great job of producing new content for Old School RuneScape, putting each update to a community poll that must have a certain percentage of support to make it into the game. This means the community is always broadly happy with the direction the game is taking, ensuring a long and healthy lifespan.
RuneScape: 8 Most Controversial Updates
Several of RuneScape's updates have been controversial in almost every sense of the word.
Redditor Zulohh shared the absurd achievement after they managed to get over 200 million Construction XP on their "One Skill at a Time" run of the game. This is the maximum XP for a skill in Old School RuneScape, which takes most players years to achieve. Gamers in the thread noticed their last update for this run was around a month ago, meaning they had gone from 0 to 200 million XP during this short period. There are no minigames for training Construction in Old School RuneScape, so they've had to grind out this achievement the old-fashioned way. Considering how expensive Construction is to train too, it's no small feat.
Old School RuneScape Player Gets 200 Million Construction XP in One Month
Gamers in the thread were universally shocked by the achievement, with one player saying, "you are incredibly ill," while congratulating Zulohh. Another user pointed out that even at 800,000 XP an hour, which is already an absurd number, it would take around 250 hours to complete the feat. In a month, that's not far off 10 hours a day, which is incredible dedication to a grindy MMO like Old School RuneScape. For many, the achievement was so impressive that it simply seemed unfeasible to actually complete.
The constant updates continue for Old School RuneScape, but the one that has players the most excited is still a little while away yet. At some point either later this year or early 2025, the Sailing skill is coming to Old School RuneScape. Sailing first passed its poll back in August 2023, and was selected to be Old School RuneScape's first-ever new skill. It's a landmark moment for the game, with the community understandably reluctant to make large changes to Old School RuneScape. However, Jagex has developed the skill alongside consistent community feedback, making it one of the most exciting updates to ever come to the game.
