22,000 hours in, MMO player becomes the first person to get every single boss drop in one of the longest grinds ever

You can't really beat an MMO in the way you would a single-player game, but Old School Runescape gives players a few uniquely exhaustive challenges that get you as close as you can to saying you've done it all. You can max all your skills and complete the Inferno PvE gauntlet, for one, but the ultimate endgame for some diehards is the collection log, which essentially requires you to check off every major drop and reward in the game. This includes around 250 rare boss drops, and for the first time ever, someone's gotten them all, and with a mere 919 days played.

Bazilijus was recently crowned the first OSRS player to fully "green" the game's boss collection log – that is, get absolutely everything and update the in-game log text from orange to a highly sought-after green. A quick look at the collection log hiscores confirms that Bazilijus is not only the first to clear the boss log, but also rank one for total rewards collected at 1,386 out of 1,443. A scan of the top 10 shows that another player Kacy, currently ranked third for collecting overall, is extremely close to finishing the boss log with just one drop missing from the dragon boss Vorkath.

Bazilijus shed some light on their long grind in replies on Twitter.

Amazingly, they managed to get a rare jar item, not to mention several magic orbs worth billions on the market, to drop multiple times before the statistically more common mace. As a result, this boss alone took nearly 1,000 hours. That's RNG for
