Either he can lend it to your for 24 hours, or you'll have to balance the trade somehow. Other than that, you're out of luck.

Smithing works nicely too, if you smelt gold or something.

And I agree. But as skillcapes are (a) untradable and (B) reserved for only the most dedicated among players, it would be safe to make them accessible to nonmembers. Any player willing to put in the time to get 99 in f2p is deserving of the cape to show it, $6 or not. Skillcapes should have been f2p in the first place, but better late than never. Skillcapes really are not a big asset of p2p. Like I said, they're reserved only for the most dedicated of players. Nobody is likely to subscribe because they have 99 and want to get a cape. Very few free players have 99 skills. Giving skillcapes to f2p won't even make a dent in subscription revenue. Free players got the Duel Arena, Fist of Guthix, the Runecrafting Guild, and an Achievement Diary. Don't you think they can handle skillcapes?

The terrorbird is fine, although I prefer a fruit bat for extra profit.

Peaches heal 8 hp and you can only make them with bones to peaches...definitely not very good. Cod, perhaps, as it heals 7 hp for ridiculously cheap. (Less than trout.)

All ammo breaks 20% of the time. Obsidian rings are no exception.

Rionasta runs a parcel service in Tai Bwo Wannai that can send items to the bank at the cost of 10 trading sticks apiece. You can use the parcel service to bank teaks if you bring a large stack of trading sticks, and you'll earn good experience while making a profit. On this map, Rionasta's location is marked in yellow. Does that answer your question?

I've done brief timings of shared vs. individual chopping, and it's always been the same speed. Once you establish that, the rest follows, doesn't it?

ty edit- what is the fastest way to get lumbrejack like to get to the bridge part or do i have to complete it eveytime? The fastest way to get lumberjack is to take the easy route and skip all combat events, and to bring a slayer ring to teleport away from the bog that you have to cross by trial and error. (Use sacks of vegetables or baskets of strawberries to feed the starving travellers; make sure you carry a full druid pouch so the ghasts don't rot the food.) However, it's advisable not to skip all combat events--you should fight the snakes and nail beasts, because you get crazy amazing profit for killing 'em. Remember a knife to skin the snakes. Oh, and take the hardest follower. It doesn't matter how weak they are, because they never get attacked when you skip all combat events. Might as well get better reward tokens, right? Lumberjack is reasonably fast to get if you do it this way, fast enough to be worth getting unless you have a long streak of bad luck. In any case, at least it's much more profitable than any tree you could be chopping for that 300k experience.

The SS is swung at the speed of an abyssal whip, and the two have the same stats. So the SS is basically a two-handed version of the whip; however, it has a crush setting useful for killing waterfiends, and it can train strength without using controlled. A whip and defender will beat a Sara Sword except for non-controlled strength training.

At that point, you need to question whether herblore, smithing, and construction are also "n00b skillcapes."

fastest method for me would be killing green dragons with melee. but since i don't want to train melee for a while... since i enjoy killing dragons i thought it would be a good plan, and maybe be lucky and get a visage drop. (the main reason i'm going for black dragons, and because it's an empty spot.) on the other hand i'd like to earn the bones by myself, because i'd like to use the rest of my money for other means. Earning the money for bones works out essentially the same as earning the bones themselves, because the Grand Exchange cuts buying and selling time down to negligible levels. I recommend killing green drags, keeping the bones, selling the hides, and using the profit to buy more bones.

Actually, the best way by far to get seeds is to buy them. With the exception of watermelon seeds and the highest level tree seeds, all seeds are incredibly inexpensive. And saving weeds for compost is pointless when supercompost blows regular compost out of the water. My recommendation: herb runs are the way to go. Do regular herb runs. In addition, plant trees and fruit trees--your choice which ones you want to plant...the more you spend, the better the xp. Willow and curry should be the minimum. You can stop planting trees once you hit your goal level, which for me was 67 to complete the Varrock diary.

If you're getting 1k pure essence per hour, then you're getting faster cash than woodcutting. Yews at 99 are about 110k gp/hr. Magics would be a little faster than pure essence at 99 woodcutting--magic logs are 150k gp/hr. Still, woodcutting is a mediocre moneymaker at best, and I really can't recommend it no matter how high your woodcutting is.

They said they redid the experience rates by comparing with other courses so that it would be the best experience for mid-level players, but not as fast as higher-level courses.

Jagex has said repeatedly over the past few months that f2p is not just a demo for the member's game. They've also said repeatedly that profit is secondary to making a great game. And they've been following through with this: they removed video ads that had been bringing in lots of revenue because they were annoying as hell, they took away member's-only content like right-click options for pickpocketing from free worlds, and they've made nearly all the recent PvP minigames available to free players, as well as the RC guild and Lumbridge Diary. Mark my words, skillcapes will be f2p. I'd even be willing to wager that it'll happen within a year. And it is the right decision.

Mahogany would only be viable if it could be banked. As is, the primary mahogany spots are in exactly the same places as the primary teak spots, which leaves m'hogs perpetually in the shadow of teaks. (Which is a little odd when you consider how much larger the mahogany trees are.) Any time you bank mahoganies, you're doing worse than if you banked teaks; any time you drop or burn them, you're doing worse than dropping or burning teaks.

Okay, I'm sold on the macaw. I can add that to the guide later. :thumbup: But I need numbers on oaks. I doubt I can get 1500 oak logs per hour, which is what I would need to beat willows. If you have data, well...sell me. :-s

You should train slayer. I assume your slayer is low enough to match your low other stats, no? Well, you should at least get it to 55 so you can use broad bolts once you hit 61 ranged. Training slayer will result in getting some charms. By the time your slayer is 65 you can fight dust devils for decent charms until you have the stats and gear for killing waterfiends for the best charms.

I came into this topic all ready to shout, "FULL ARMADYL!" Then I saw "under 1.5m." Well, the Ivandis Flail makes a great choice for a weapon, since it matches the colors so well. You could also try a pirate getup, with a white bandana & eyepatch for the hat.

It would be better to kill things for generic profit, and use the profit to buy your limps.

Why not both? If it has to be just one, then 70 prayer...there's nothing all that big between 57 and 64 summoning. Piety will be more useful.

Oaks quickly become irrelevant once teaks enter the picture anyway. Regardless of whether they're good at low levels, it's evident that they're not good at high levels. I just assume that it scales down, since pretty much every other tree does. If you want to offer data comparing oak-chopping at 99 to oak-chopping at wherever you think the speed tops out, I would applaud you for your devotion to research...I just don't know if it's worth the time to test something that would only be useful for a few thousand experience points anyway. You're not the first person to talk about oaks as fast experience, but it's something I haven't been able to duplicate, and I find it hard to believe that they can be chopped at 1.8x the speed of willows. *shrug* As for macaws, I confess I've never seriously considered them for foraging. I only tried it once and found that the scroll is often unsuccessful, and often produces a low-level herb that isn't very valuable. It also cuts into your inventory space, since the macaw doesn't hold the herbs for you--you have to pick them up yourself. (And the scrolls take a slot too.) The cost of the scrolls cuts into the profit as well, not to mention the hassle of clicking to use the ability every minute, which brings back painful recollections of renewing familiars before the summoning update. All things considered, I would expect the magpie to beat out the macaw...but that is an untested hypothesis. I guess there's still plenty of woodcutting-related stuff out there I could research to improve my guide, but I've been playing Runescape less often lately, and my inclination is to rest on my laurels and get other people to research stuff they want to learn about. :-w I'd recommend burning. Parcelling the teaks is like a wishy-washy middle ground between powercutting teaks and cutting eucs, and I'm not a big fan of middle ground. It's exp or profit, folks--pick a side! :evil: In all seriousness, though, I really do worry that the numbers I have for parcelling are inaccurate. It's the kind of method that scales a lot based on which familiar you use and stuff. For example, if you had the full get-up, with a pack yak and inferno adze, banking teaks would probably be the best method, easily. But I have no idea how much better it would be than other methods. I just know that it sure blows willows out of the water. But I wouldn't think too much about it if I were you. The thing about woodcutting is that it isn't efficient. Ever. The skill itself has no real application in the game, so just by training it you're giving up time and money. The only reason you'd train it to a high level is that, plain and simple, you just want to. ...There was somewhere I was going with that, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that you have to decide for yourself which method you want to use to train. (That's code for "I'm nervous that my data is insufficient, so I'm avoiding giving a straight answer. You should parcel teaks, time your exp/hr and gp/hr, and tell me your results.") Does that answer your question? ;) ;)

"Barrows gloves" are the unofficial name for the highest-level gloves obtainable as a reward for full completion of Recipe for Disaster. Finish all parts of the quest and defeat the Culinaromancer, and they will be purchasable from the Culinaromancer's chest in the Lumbridge Castle basement.
