Why, waterfiends of course. :) Dust devils, black demons, greater demons, and scabarites are good too.

Fastest way to kill 'em is with a cannon and melee. You can go to the Meiyerditch Dungeon if you want a multicombat zone. There's regular and mutated bloodvelds there.

Definitely not worth killing the 138 ones. They don't even have better drops than the low level ones. Just kill them in the slayer dungeon--you can do the task in one trip easily and you should get some good herbs out of it.

The closest thing is a hydra familiar. Its scroll can be used to regrow a tree stump. However, the scroll and the pouch are costly enough not to be worth it. It's okay, nothing wrong with moving to a new tree.

In answer to the original question, I have 99 woodcutting and I average 120 magic logs/hr. That's 150k gp/hr.

Do Fairy Tale Part 1. It gives you some good farming experience that should bump you up to a higher level, and you get magic secateurs that increase the harvest of herbs and allotments.

The dragons won't be a problem. They don't mix with the waterfiends, so as long as you stay far enough to the west you won't be attacked by them. Don't stray too close, because they do have a ranged attack...they just don't usually see you.

well he didnt ask for those now did he with 54 summoning and 72 woodcutting dont think he would want those anyway Of course he would want those things. Who wouldn't? Talon beast charms and lumberjack clothing are ftw!

they only drop 1 hide, and they are poisonious and they are surrounded by aggressive jungle horrors and they are really spread out, its not a really good way of getting hides. if u want the most hides use the easy route, evade all the other events and take the hardest companion. and btw they dont always drop 6 hides i think its random between 3-6. You're wrong, the lv35 snakes are the fastest way in the game to get snake hides.

I would use a barrelchest anchor before a barrows weapon. But of course a zammy spear is going to be the best option. Wear Karil's top and bottom with a black mask/slayer helmet, kill them in the Ancient Cavern, and use protection from ranged with prayer potions.

Best way to get more snakes is to take the hardest follower. Then you get more snakes in each event. Other than that, all you can do is make your runs as fast as possible to get the most events, and thus the most snakes.

As a player with well past 99 in both skills, I can testify that they are indeed very similar. All the action is virtually identical. The biggest difference is that trees will die, whereas fishing spots will only ever move. This means that fishing can be a group activity, but woodcutting is hindered when there are a lot of people around. As far as moneymaking, both skills top out around 150k gp/hr--either 150 sharks/hr, or 120 magic logs/hr. 150k gp/hr is unimpressive for a member, so really neither one is a great moneymaker. Woodcutting can be trained much faster than fishing. The fastest fishing experience is less than 60k exp/hr and doesn't even turn a profit. Woodcutting experience tops at over 80k exp/hr at teaks, cutting and dropping with an inferno adze, and if you want 60k exp/hr, you can chop teaks with the parcel service and get the same profit a fisherman would get catching lobsters. So the numbers definitely favor woodcutting. However, fishing is more enjoyable, because you never need to wait for a fishing spot to respawn, and you don't need to hop worlds if there are too many people at your fishing spot. A striking similarity is that seemingly in both skills, people have no idea what the best way to train is. :roll: So many people (topic creator included) say that fly fishing is the fastest fishing experience and willows are the fastest woodcutting experience. Those people are all wrong. Those are common myths that end as soon as you become a member. The fastest fishing experience is actually heavy rod fishing, which can pull about 10k exp/hr more than fly fishing if you powerfish, or about the same exp with a substantial profit if you bank the caviar to sell later. And it gives lots of agility, strength, and cooking experience in addition to fishing. And for woodcutting, powercutting teaks is about 15k exp/hr faster than willows. But that's not all--you can also use Brimhaven house teleports and rings of dueling to bank teak logs in Tai Bwo, and get the same exp as willows with almost as much cash as yews. And, you can use the parcel service to bank, for even faster experience, albeit a little less profit. Not only that, but yews are actually slower for both profit AND xp than eucalyptus, and yet seemingly nobody chops eucs.

Torag's helm has the exact same stats as Guthan's helm. Torag's platebody has the same stats as Guthan's platebody and Dharok's platebody. Torag's platelegs have the same stats as Dharok's platelegs. And Torag's hammers are garbage weapons. Since Torag has a lame set effect but Dharok and Guthan have good set effects, people use the latter two instead, and they get the same stats.

You'll easily be able to pay for your repairs with the drops. Use Guthan's to kill them in the Chaos Tunnels, and bring a little bit of food so you don't need to rely completely on Guthan's to heal you. Use super sets, or at least regular def + combat potions, because they're cheap for the boosts they provide.

This is true. Willows are bad. It's not true that you have to drop or burn the logs though. If you go to Tai Bwo Wannai, you can use the parcel service to send your teaks to the bank. (Requires Jungle Potion, and you need to get permission to enter the hardwood grove.) If you do that you can get around 60k exp/hr and about 70k gp/hr, which is faster and more profitable than willows. Of course you need a lot of trading sticks, which you can buy on the GE for 5 gp each. Alternatively, you could move your house to Brimhaven and use a ring of dueling and a house teleport to bank your teaks. This method would give about the same exp/hr as willows but with very close to the same profit as yews. I also recommend eucalyptus, which are just barely slower than willows, but they're actually more profitable to chop than yews. You must have started As a First Resort to use the bank in Oo'glog if you want to chop eucs. Willows are all well and good for f2p, but members can do better. ;)

Sorry Guthan, but what is the point in Switching back to Willows? You are better just to keep doing Yews, or go to Teaks/Maples. Well not maples. But if yews are better at one level, they are better at every level. There's no magical level up where it suddenly becomes good to chop yews where it was bad before, or vice versa.

Overall, bgs is better, because they have the same stats, but the bgs is cheaper, and the zgs spec isn't really all that better except in certain situations.

Cold War! \ You need a few construction levels, but you can get those easily, within like 15 minutes. It's an awesome fun quest, you get to dress as a penguin to spy on the other penguins, who are planning to take over Runescape! The story is very entertaining. : It's a shame your farming is so pathetically low, or I would recommend My Arm's Big Adventure too. There's this great cutscene in it where the Drunken Dwarf gets knocked off a cliff and his leg is eaten by a baby troll.

I also tested maples chopping and burning as I went, since there was a nice convenient burn line along the tracks of the coal trucks just to the northwest of Seer's Village. I managed to chop & burn an average of 350 logs an hour at 99 woodcutting, which is 35k wc xp/hr and about 48k fm xp/hr. Both of those compare unfavorably to teaks, which were 50k wc xp/hr and 54k fm xp/hr. With an inferno adze, these numbers would of course be higher in both cases. But anyway, if you wanted to get both wc and fm to 99, teaks are far better than maples.

I agree 100% with whichever brilliant mind made this post. : I would also recommend eucalyptus instead of yews. They're faster experience and (at today's prices anyway) better profit. And you certainly can't chop 2k maples in an hour; that obviously falls into the 75% of statistics that are made up on the spot. Small amounts of testing showed an average of a little less than 440 maples per hour, which is just under 20k gp/hr profit and only 44k exp/hr. At 99. I can't even get 1k willows in an hour (about 800/hr tops, for the record), let alone 2k maples.

There's no absolute highest, but you might be surprised at how powerful a good inventory of food with a super set is. I strongly recommend the Fairy Tale series to unlock fairy rings. Part 2 has some daunting farming and herblore requirements, but you don't actually need those to get fairy rings, because you only need to do the quest partway. The rest of the series also unlocks the realm of Zanaris, the dragon longsword/dagger, and magic secateurs, all of which are good. Fairy rings are the most extensive transportation network in the game, and they make the world a lot smaller once you get them. Another good quest to do is Fremennik Trials, which gives you some good stuff, such as new equipment. And do the first subquest of Recipe for Disaster just to use the bank chest in the basement. Almost every quest is worth doing for some reason or another. I'm afraid to start listing them, because I might not be able to stop. Just knock as many as you can off the list, one by one. They are all worth it. And as a rule, most of the bosses are fairly easy if you have half-decent stats. (Probably you want to upgrade your rune scimmy to a dragon weapon ASAP--d long is a good one to start with.) The hardest bosses are probably in Dream Mentor, Desert Treasure, and Recipe For Disaster (the final part). Except for just a few. You can skip ratcatchers, for example, which is one of the most frustrating quests, but has a terrible reward.

you could, but it wouldn't give you as much profit as the steel legs/plate Keep 'em to alch later. They're stackable. [/hide] Even though repairing is cheap, why should you do it, when you can avoid it. D legs, or even rune legs, are good enough to survive there with a bunyip. If I'd go I'd take: Rune/dragon legs/skirt Fighter torso Rune defender etc... More than enough, you dont need dharok plates and stuff like that. Because d legs are more expensive than barrows legs, of course. Anyway, when I went there, I liked Guthan's a lot better than my bunyip. I found that the bunyip was frequently overhealing me. I much preferred being unconstrained by a timer--Guthan's allowed me to camp there for longer without using as much inventory space as I needed to carry those bunyip pouches. So I saw no reason not to just keep my Guthan's on for the leg and torso slots. (Even the helm I considered just keeping on, since the off-white of the neitiznot helm clashes horribly with the rest of the outfit.)

60k/hr is way too high. 35-45k exp/hr is a much more reasonable estimate. I would not recommend it as a training option once you hit level 62 and can catch monkfish--monkfish are about 30-36k exp/hr, but they make MUCH more profit, enough to easily make up for the loss of time. And fly fishing isn't even the fastest method anyway--heavy rod fishing is about 10k exp/hr faster and it gives exp in agility, strength, and cooking as well.

You can change your house's location as many times as you want. You just need to pay a fee each time.

Have you done the Abyss miniquest at least?
