Oh woops, 4 game ticks, you're correct. I'll edit that in. And I'm interested in doing Teaks for WC xp and FM xp, however, I'm just curious about xp rates for the other methods as well, for a comparison. And I hadn't considered fletching at the same time. I forgot you could do things like that. So maybe I'll be considering this in the future.

Advanced Barbarian is faster than Advanced Gnome, as it's roughly the same lap time, but more experience for the Advanced Barbarian course. And it'd probably be best to do Advanced Gnome until you want to move on to Advanced Barbarian. I personally go back and forth, for the change in scenery, as it's about the same xp/hour at max speeds at level 85.

83 won't be a huge difference from 80, but obviously the higher level, the better xp/hour you'll get. I'd say start at 80.

Alright, so I'm invested in finding the fastest xp/hour with Woodcutting. Normally, people would recommend Ivy, or Sawmill if you feel like concentrating. HOWEVER, I am not looking for recommendations. So, I'm interested in if you have ever timed yourself Woodcutting. And I mean, really timing yourself, for at least 30 minutes to find an xp/hour rate. An hour is best, fully concentrated, if you've done it before. Anyways, I'm trying to decide, on average, if Ivy, Sawmill, or Teaks is the best. I did 90-99 WC with Ivy, and with decent attention, I noticed roughly 75-80k xp/hour. Sometimes I could see it spiking more than that, however, I have some doubts about the average versus max experience per hour with Ivy. Since you cut the ivy at a similar pace to Yews (little faster, obviously), but with a ton of experience, it's a bit more random. As I recall, it's roughly, what... 4 game ticks between each log is possible, at the fastest. So, normally, Ivy is cut slower than this, but it CAN be cut within 2.4 seconds or so from the last Ivy being cut. So this means, if you happen to get lucky, you could get well over 100k xp/hour, but then the next hour, being unlucky, could get you 60k xp/hour. Potentially, if you can cut it every 2.4 seconds, that means that the max xp/hour would be about 498,750 xp/hour without lumberjack. So, that just shows, Ivy won't give constant experience, it'll vary some. So your average and your max will be different. Then there's the Sawmill. I was testing out a few things there at 96 Woodcutting, and I didn't actually time myself very well there, as I was only going to be there for no more than a few minutes really. However, I tested how long it takes to complete a task, and figured out all the experience from what I did, and at about max speed, I calculated roughly 80k xp/hour. Now, this could vary a bit obviously, and it wasn't that accurate. However, I felt as if it'd be extremely difficult to get over 90k xp/hour there, at any level. Maybe 99 could just barely hit it? I don't know. And finally, teaks. Remember when everyone that wanted to get fast experience went and cut these? Well, guess what, they're still really fast. I just did a complete hour timed at Teaks today, and I'm impressed. In exactly one hour, with Lumberjack, Fire Ring and Flame Gloves, as well as an ADZE, with WC cape boost and Beaver familiars, at obviously 99 WC, I got 93,110 Woodcutting experience. This came out to be 37,137 FM xp as well, for a total of 130,247 experience in an hour. This was also 1,069 Teak Logs, 337 of which were burned by the ADZE for a 31.5% burn rate (in case anyone is interested). tl;dr: So, my question for you guys, as I stated before: What are your Woodcutting experience rates for these three methods? I don't need xp/hour rates that people believe, or haven't completely tested, as I've heard and seen lots of different rates myself. So only if you've tested it out for a decent amount of time. Also, if you do have any rates, please post your level at the time, and if you were using any extra equipment, such as Lumberjack, etc. Thanks so much guys. This is just to figure out some hard facts, and not just speculations. Hope this all makes sense :D EDIT: Changed to 4 game ticks. Not sure why I thought it was 3.

Nice lie sir. Red chins are 60-70k hr/at max. Grenwalls can be upwards of 100k-110k. NICE LIE@@@ :P Actually, Red Chins, at levels over 80 on average, are about 40k faster. Grenwalls are more along the lines of 70-80k xp/hour, except with lots of experience doing it and at high hunter levels, can top 100k xp/hour. Red chins, I've been able to get at about 110-120k xp/hour at just level 85 Hunter (requires the right spawn times, your location, your concentration, level, and the number of people around you. Sometimes slightly crowded worlds work to your advantage depending on your spot). Grenwalls ARE slower, assuming you have the same concentration for both, but get more money, and are still decent xp/hour.

I don't believe there's any outfit that will help you Hunt them. However, a very good method, if you don't have pawya meat handy in your bank (very few do...), is to use a Fruit Bat and use its scrolls in order to get your papayas to bait the traps. This will start getting you some pawya meat, which then you can bait 2 or 3 traps with pawya meat in order to catch Grenwalls. If you want to hunt Grenwalls, then you can do it at 77+ Hunter. Doesn't matter all that much on your level, as it's more for epic profit, than just xp. As for the location, I'll link a video for you. And it also shows a decent way to set up your traps, and which ones get which bait. Have fun :) Edit: Some people believe Larupia will increase your chances, but I don't believe this. However, feel free to use it.

I'd have to ask what you're running diagonally for that you'd need to inquire about the speed? In general, running diagonally is faster, but if it's a short distance it won't matter, and at most a game tick or two, depending on the distance.

It will only work for one pouch. It is more efficient to cut up the pieces though. It takes a bit of time, but that bit of extra time used up will mean lots more pouches to make.

Oak planks aren't necessarily the "way to go." It all depends on how you value your time, value your money, as well as what you value the experience at. If you don't care about money, have it all, and want fast experience, then of course Mahogany is the best. However, if you have troubles making money, and it's always a burden to spend money on skills, then Oak is a more likely scenario. I used Oak for a while, and hit 90 Construction with Oak. However, I'm planning on going to 99 with Mahogany without SC, as it's fast, and I value my time at a high rate of income, as well as don't mind burning a bit of extra cash for faster experience. At the rates of experience that I get, Mahogany ends up being about twice as fast as Oak, which means it's actually worth it to me to spend more money in order to gain that faster experience. SC Hammers with Construction earn a total of 50,750 experience I believe. So that would be calculated to 9.1 hammers, or 10 hammers rounded. Hope that helps. By the way, only the last sentence applies to the OP's question :P

I apologize for the wait. I ended up getting busy the night I was originally going to test this, and then kept getting busy further on down the road! However, I finally tested out some things. So, even with near maxed out strength bonus, Super potions (didn't want to waste Extremes), and Piety, I wasn't able to get over 250 damage with the flail (not upgraded at all). This was against Vampyre Juvinates and Vyrewatch. However, I was able to hit higher damage (~300) on other monsters with the same setup. So I've added this in and credited you! And, the max hit will increase as you cremate Vyrewatch corpses (every 50), so if you continue, you'll be hitting higher damage :) But this only applies to Vampyre Juvinates and Vyrewatch, of course. Anyways, thanks for the wait, and thanks so much for the information! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate to PM me or reply :) I will be keeping this thread open for a little while in case you happen to get any of the normal Treasure Trail rewards from Vyrewatch cremation. If this happens, it'd be great if you could take a picture! :D -Codguy

Alright now! So, we've been looking into the matter, and realized that some of the coding never got changed. Silly us :oops: So we're currently fixing this so that everything matches up. If you notice any errors in the future, don't hesitate to say something :) And if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to PM me. Thanks for your help. -Codguy

Since my last post, I'd just like to update something. The Crew has decided to change the ratios to (LP/10)/Level, which will make the ratios no different than they were prior to the Life Points update. And with this, as well as the problem you noticed with ratios in disagreement, lordkafei, we are currently working on getting the coding to be correct. Thanks for your help! I'll be locking this now, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. -Codguy

Thanks AquaTeen44! We used your information and picture to help create our entry for this item. You've been credited accordingly :) Thanks so much! -Codguy

Got 92 Firemaking, as well as my ADZE finally. And then I also finished up Ardy Elite. Did a solo Trawler run and finished up by using an Abyssal Titan. So was a great weekend :D Didn't get any Agility levels, but getting close to 86. And now I'm focusing on getting all the rocks for my first statue. Gotten most of them in the last couple of days, and just need Farming now :( Takes a while while just doing herbs. And most of my other time will be spent Fishing for the most part.

Ah yes, silly me. We will be working on this! :)

My guess would be that the pie and the scroll do not stack. And I'd recommend doing Ape Atoll until 81 or 82, just to use up less pies, and to fail less often. Especially because when you fail more at 85 Agility, it's comparable xp to Ape Atoll (no failing).

If you collect all the herbs yourself, and buy the seconds, you should profit a bit. Some potions will make you lose money, some will give lots of profit. But overall, more give profit than a loss.

I can confirm that the double ore that you get from the Varrock armor gives you experience. I happen to be mining Granite right now and received xp for both pieces.

Of potions, Serums are the cheapest, but very slow experience. It might be better in the long run if you use something that's more expensive, such as Super Energy Potions, but faster experience. It all depends at what you're willing to spend and what you value your time at in terms of making money. If you make a lot of money in an hour, doing something more expensive is the better thing to do, because it saves you more time, in which you can then go and make that money back. But either way, I use this in order to figure out gp/xp for Herblore: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators/Potions

Or you could refer to the Locations section of Tip.It's Familiarisation Guide. :thumbsup: Hey what a surprise, I was going to the say the SAME thing! :D I personally use Obelisk Chat, works pretty well from my experience. A lot of the chats quickly died after the first week or two, so only a few remain. You can always check on the Runescape Forums to find more.

100 is a pretty high number for that. With void (10% att+str) and SS, Piety, and Extremes, I was getting up to 120 per hour, and might possibly get a bit more as well if I repotted more often). Also at maxed melee stats. With your stats, setup, and at least Super Potions, I'd say probably around 80 per hour.

Correct, except that it doesn't matter about hot spots. It's Wilderness or not. Wilderness in PvP worlds = 4x, while non-Wilderness in PvP worlds = 1.5x.

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators/Cooking_fish This is a nice page to use to figure out how much gp/xp everything costs. Currently prices are a little out of sync because of the bonus xp weekend right now. But after it's done, prices will turn to your favor, so you might want to buy some raw fish in a few days if you want to buy them for your levels. You'll also want a combination of low cost/profit as well as decent xp/hour. Like, I would never cook anything below lobsters at 80. And would probably do mostly Monkfish until 94, for the most part, depending on the gp/xp at the time.

Ah ok. Well, you won't be taking much damage. EE won't be a problem at all. But it's not a big deal to take armor down there, because you're not running enough for weight to be an issue. Unless you were to have a very low Agility level, but that's not the case with your account.

However, I've timed myself before and gotten lucky hours of over 36k xp. Sometimes luck is played in with something like Monkfish. However, I do agree, rarely will you ever see over 36k xp/hour, especially an average. To answer your question, stick with Lobsters. However, Monkfish will be a great addition once you have the requirements finished for Swan Song. For all the way to 99 Fishing, if you want profit, stick with either Monkfish or Rocktails when you can. You could probably to Cavefish as well when you get there. Only do Lobsters if you are meaning to stay a low level and aren't planning on finishing Swan Song. If you want experience, get into Shilo (assuming you haven't done the quest) and then fly fish, until level 70 fishing, at which it's a good idea to do Barbarian Fishing and powerfish there by dropping your fish.
