We all love to skill certain skills, but theres a few we all hate because its boring. Lets face it,some skill were ment to be boring. This can include but not limited to fishing,farming,woodcutting,mining essence(mining). THIS GUIDE IS MADE TO MAKE THING A LITTLE LESS BLAND section1~woodcutting~ section2~fishing~ section3~farming~ section4~mining(ess)~ ~WOODCUTTING~ All higher level woodcutters now this can be a long strenuos skill. One unfortunate fact that is skill requires some attnention. Heres some ideas to do when you are woodcutting! 1] talk to people! chances are your going to be there long, might as well make some friends :D 2] set goals and plans! your probably trying to make some money off of this right? try to figure out how many trips you can make in 1 hour, and determine maximum profit. I usually have a graphing calculator in front of me trying different variables, such as trip numbers and cost per unit for maximum profit. 3]report macroers! dont be an ignorant person and report every level 3 that you see! Try to make sure they are macroers. Do things such as ask questions directly to them. Also see how they react to randoms. They will often just run away, just before they become un-visible to the map in the top right of yor screen. YOU CAN HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM :XD: ~FISHING~ This is an extremely repedative skill that requires very little attention. You click, wait a few mins, repeat. This is what i do when i fish! 1]Study up on some skills and facts! Knowledge is power on runescape! being a slow and less attentive skill you can read up and learn a thing or to! You can learn item prices if you plan to merchant, or learn whats the fastest way to skill your lower levled skills. Also you can read quest guides you plan on doing in the future. 2] Photoshop anyone?! Learning photoshop is a very useful, and fun thing! I love taking pictre from google and re-creating them as my own. Half the fun is just letting loose and expirementing. I have read maybe a paragraph or 2 about this exciting program, but i have done things such as this (ONCE I GO TO MY HOUSE COMP I CAN GIVE YOU A LINK TO MY BEST WORK OF ART). Remember theres always an "undo____" button for us "perfectionist" 3] Write a guide! Guess what i am doing now? Fishing! I am writing a guide not only because its fun, they are helpful and time occupying. I have always wanted to write a AOW guide, havent you? This way you can put alot of effort into your guide (like me :thumbsup: ) 4]Report macroers! They just plain flat out ruin the game. Dont be ignorant and report every level 3 you see! Just once again repeat what you would do with atuo woodcutters. If a fish comes and spits there lobby pot or w/e out and they dont pick it up they are most likely macroers. ~FARMING~ This cn be a very rewarding skill once your in the higher levels. But lets face it, herbs take 70 mins averageto grow, and thats how you mainly get money from this skill. This skill requires almost no attention if you farm like me. 1] High alch baby! This is a wonderful spell! It gives 65 exp per alch. Not only is this great exp, it gives great cash! Some great examples are steel plate bodies at 1.2k ea, yew longs 768 gp ea. Watching the cash flow makes time fly by, just like having fun! 2] Buy/Steal seeds! Runescape forums and Tip It forums are a great place to buy tons of seeds! On Runescape people are litterally selling millions of gp worth of seeds DAILY! Tip It may be on a a wee bit smaller scale, but it rocks! You can alsways head to draynor and make Master Farmer become the worlds most seedless farmer, but getting higher level seeds is harder 3] Plan ahead your food, flower, and herb use! Theres a reason people farm, to get what they need! Need strength potions, use your limpwurt roots, dont sell! Trying to get SARADOMIN BREWS, LIKE FROM TRIPSIS! then grow toadflax seeds, not higher level herb seeds! ~MINING (ESS)~ This isn't necessarily a skill, but some people just gotta do it, like trying to get runescrafting up (I JUST GOT TODAY ) This can also be very profitable when you have pouches (i get 47 ess at a time, 4.7k a trip if i sell!) Its ashame this requires a somewhat amount of attention. 1] Turn up those tunes! I frequently listen to my itunes when i mine ess. It just seems to make things go by a bit faster. Why not sing along while your at it? Look up the lyrics and have a blast! Also you can buy songs on itunes (i wont be doing this so much because some (very naughty bad language and lots of swearing) jerk stole my ipod shuffle that i got for christmas :cry: ) 2] Talk it up! Get in touch with your friends! you can plan events, such as the one i am planning ,MEMORIALS DAY ABLAZE! . There are plenty of other great events that are planned by the great TIP IT EVENTS TEAM. 3] Report macroers! Dont be ignorant and report every level 3 that you see! Unfortunatly there are many of these macroers. Theres always a few signs i look for, such as full camo (very popular macroer uniform) bronze pick axe,and always taking the same route or always using the same banker. Also take precautionary seps like with the woodcutting macroers and fishing macroers. I REALLY HOPED YOU ENJOYED MY GUIDE! IT TOOK MY 2 HOURS TO WRITE AND I PUT EFFORT INTO IT! PLZ NO FLAMING, AND READ THE WHOLE THING :wink:
