You'd be surprised how much people think they know about woodcutting and firemaking that isn't really true.

You can compare a rune axe to an inferno adze. There's just no good reason for it. (And it doesn't have anything to do with herbs either. :shame: )

Nah, xp is just another factor in the same comparison. Today, for example, you can expect an average of 2.8k more profit per seed (or thereabouts) from ranarr than from snapdragon, but you can also expect about 450 (or thereabouts) less xp from ranarr. Both of those are fairly significant when you consider 5 patches to a run and 8 runs per hour. Of course, it may be a little moot, since toadflax are a little more profitable than ranarrs today anyway. [hide=Graph][/hide]

Harvest sizes are the same for all herbs. Your average yield will be the same with torstol as it is with guam. I don't think so. When I was planting dwarf weeds, I got considerably more herbs/patch on average than I do now planting snaps. The real money makers seem to have low yields, maybe toadflax as an exception. Just a fluke. I haven't noticed any difference in my average harvests between toadflax, ranarr, snapdragon, and kwuarm. On average, your losses from death will always be canceled out by the occasional large harvest, leaving you with an average of 6-7 herbs per seed. Actually, there is quite a legitimate comparison, as can be seen in my "Guide to Which Herbs to Plant".

Which of the two is more profitable fluctuates on a daily basis, so I prefer to just err with the one that gives more experience. Try snapdragon. Kwuarm is good too--easier to buy the seeds in bulk. Harvest sizes are the same for all herbs. Your average yield will be the same with torstol as it is with guam.

Maples are horrible for training. They're slow experience and they're barely worth any money. You should have no reason to chop them ever. :thumbdown: As for willows, they're also pretty bad. Compared to eucalyptus, you'd need to make about 800k gp/hr in order for willows to be more efficient. But compared with dropping teaks, you'd need to make less than about 100k gp/hr. That means in order for willows to be better than teaks, they have to be worse than eucs, and vice-versa. :ugeek: I advise cutting eucalyptus, since you claim to dislike teaks.

That doesn't contradict what I said at all, though. I'm saying that either way you could get less logs / hour, more likely if you all cut at the same tree... so I would just find yourself a tree, start cutting, then maybe talk some while you wait for another to respawn, just hopefully the tree you happened to pick isn't one of the ones that only has one yew, but hopefully like 6 at least. The number of logs you get from a tree before it falls down is random. So that still really doesn't contradict what I said. :|

Two main options to choose from. One, cut eucs, sell the eucs, and buy fletching equipment. Very easy and I recommend it. Two, take the logs you cut and fletch them into unstrucg longbows, but only while you're on the way back to the bank. Generally less preferable. For the most part, just because the output of one skill is the input of another doesn't mean you need to train the first to train the second. The Grand Exchange is almost always more efficient.

Aw, what, page 2? Bump.

That doesn't contradict what I said at all, though.

about that, if you stay at one tree with everyone else and they are all like 8 levels + higher than you then you'll spend forever at the treee to get like 1 log... whereas some other people might get 7 from the same tree, also the number of logs from a single tree is random, I once got only 1log from a yew i was chopping by myself which I watched spawn. another time I got 10+, so what you said was a total lie. tell me if I took it wrong but this seems to be what you're saying. No, it's not what I'm saying. Think about it this way. Two scenarios. 1. There are four trees being chopped by four people, one for each tree. All the trees die at close to the same time. All players need to wait the full respawn time of their tree before they can chop again. Fewer logs are gained per hour, because more time is spent waiting for the trees to respawn. 2. There are four trees, and four people chop each tree in turn, all on the same tree. Each tree will die, on average, four times as fast, and then each player moves on to the next tree all at once. That tree dies, and they move on to the next. That tree dies, and they go to the last one. By the time the last tree dies, the first tree has respawned again, so they can continue this way without waiting for respawns. All players can continuously chop, except when they're running between trees, so their cutting is slowed less drastically than in the first scenario.

Yeah, I know. I'm pretty sure I don't need to add how to obtain the food, as that could use a whole other guide. (Which already exists.) For the record, you can add p'apple rings to about 1600-1700 pizzas an hour, which is about 300k gp/hr assuming you buy the rings and plain pizza on the GE (which is difficult, but you can get the ingredients bought faster than you eat the pizzas, so it's fine), and about 75k exp/hr in cooking. (It takes 25 seconds, give or take, to make an inventory of 14 p'apple pizzas.) But of course this is a slayer guide, not a cooking guide.

It's better than yaks, rock crabs, or experiments. It's arguably better than monkey guards, ankous, dagannoths, slayer...well I dunno, what are you training on instead?

Brawling gloves last what, half an hour? Anyway, lobsters and swordfish are actually about the same speed for training, so it really isn't likely to make a big difference which one you pick. Try swordfish. You can save an inventory space by not needing to bring a cage.

I was woodcutting at teaks (i attained wc brawling gloves as well) and there was actually a pker there. That's interesting. What about Ape Atoll? You can't enter combat when you're in monkey form, so there should be no danger of pkers. And even if you could attack somebody, they'd have to switch back to human, so they'd be smacked around by the snakes and spiders. So it ought to be perfectly safe. Ironically.

Nah, that's wrong, as you suspected. You can actually go to Ape Atoll a little sooner and still get better experience than wildy, but more importantly, Dorgesh-Kaan is a much better course than Ape Atoll for most of the way to 99, starting somewhere in the mid-80s. don't! - You'll get a burnout long before you reach it! Just because you don't like to train agility doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way. Using genie lamps in the skill you're training to 99 is a really bad idea, tbh. It doesn't save you any meaningful amount of time on the skill. You'd be much better off putting it in a skill that trains slowly and that you aren't already training.

They were talking about the candy. Notice the quest will still be available to members after the Halloween season, indicating that Maggie will not be going anywhere anytime soon.

Yes it will.

Who says Maggie is going to disappear? Maggie will clearly stick around and return brooms, which will remain f2p items.

They're weak to the Salve Amulet. Spiritual Warriors aren't. So, pretty good reason to go with the zombies there. As far as attack style, no difference.

I don't believe there's any precedent, but clearly it wouldn't be fair for the f2p players who did the quest if their reward turned into a worthless member's item. So I assume it will remain f2p.

If you're referring to the randomly generated steel arrows, then it can also pick up toy mice, steel bars, iron ore, and other random junk that sticks to the magnet.

Hey, think about it. Two prayer mixes takes two inventory slots and provides 4 doses of prayer restoration as well as 24 hp of healing. One 4-dose prayer potion and a tuna potato also provides 4 doses of prayer restoration, but only 22 hp of healing. So strictly in terms of magnitude, the mix potions are certainly more effective than using both food and potions. The question is whether you want to take your prayer potion at the same time that you want to heal 6 hp.

Turoths are not a terrible task. The leaf-bladed sword is not all that terrible, and the valuable drops make up for the weaker weapon. You can also range them with broad bolts if you want.

Wow, I never thought I'd see myself recommending this, but actually there is a better way to do what you're doing. :? Go to the yew trees in the Tree Gnome Stronghold south of the agility course, and you will find yew trees, flax plants, and spinning wheels all in the same spot. So bring a knife, nature runes, and a fire staff, and you can chop, pick, spin, fletch, string, and alch yew bows all in the same place. Cutting out the banking increases your efficiency by saving you the running back and forth.
