Old School RuneScape — Which genre have you completely written off?

I have read the FAQ and it does not cover this case. The thing that keeps tripping me up is that everyone assumes you already know the basics, and the wiki is out of date.

Still open to better approaches if anyone has one.

This is the bit people miss — the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

Had the exact same issue. this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

Good luck, it is a common snag.

Slightly different take — the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.
