Quite frankly, if you're getting 99 magic from house tabs, you're probably doing something wrong, as they're a very bad training method. As in, 21k xp/hr. As in a good solid 500 hours of teletabs. Paradoxically, making house tabs to 99 magic will actually make you very poor, because a rich person generally doesn't cut their experience in half or worse just to make a measly 300k gp/hr. Compare charging air orbs, which give double the xp/hr for about 25k gp/hr less profit, and are still an inefficient training method. Just thought I ought to point that out. On the bright side, soft clay seems to be going up this week. Prolly a good time to sell. Hint hint. ;-)

Settling for a slower moneymaker because you don't have enough startup money for a good moneymaker is a great way to be poor. Just sayin. For example, you could go right now to any slayer master and buy 3k unfinished broad bolts, then sell them on the Grand Exchange and be ~100-150k richer within minutes. And you can do that every day. You need to have done smoking kills to get unfinished broads. Settling for a slower moneymaker because you haven't done the quest for a good moneymaker is another great way to be poor. Just sayin.

See, I used to do lists like this, until I realized it's a lot faster to just list the quests you shouldn't do. And then Rat Catchers was made into an achievement diary requirement and the Castle Wars catapult interface was made usable, so now I don't even need to do that. Just do every quest. :thumbsup:

Yes. Next question, please. :ugeek:

Happy to help :shades:

Ok. Thanks! So should I train any skills up, or just do all the quests I can at the moment? Quest xp rewards get progressively less relevant as you level up (you train more slowly at low levels, so fixed xp rewards represent a greater time saving--prayer is the exception to this), so it's best to get through them at the low levels when they're most valuable. Most of the time you can do fine on a quest with the minimum requirements, with several exceptions (for example, Underground Pass wants high agility, Desert Treasure wants high thieving, and for most boss fights the higher your combat the better). You should train farming, but only because you make ridiculous amounts of profit from herb runs, not because your level is too low.

Oh, easy answer. Do quests. That's almost always the best way to develop your character. Keep doing quests until you can't do any more quests, and then raise the skills you need to raise until you can do the rest of them. Anyway, the xp rewards are the best way to level up at low levels, since they get progressively less useful at high levels anyway. So you can't go wrong with quests. Oh, and you aren't farming enough. It's pretty much the best moneymaking skill. You should be doing herb runs regularly.

Doing med or small won't change how many tokens you'll get buy x level, just the speed that you'll get them at. That's because tokens are 1/10th of the exp learned and the exp to x level is fixed. Well, the tokens do round down after every dungeon, so there's a slight disadvantage to having your xp broken into smaller chunks as more of them will be lost to the rounding.

That's how I paid for my 95 prayer.

well its mostly for my friend that is pretty much the same lvl as me but he has less summon and the best for him now is using greens. im going to fire giants for crimsons edit: aslo the beaver is cheap and im going for honey badgers,becuase there cheap to and i might change after i get my summoning lvl to summon pyrelords As it turns out, crimsons are better than greens at any level, so your friend should still go for crimson charms. But if you must go for greens, the best way to go about it is by training slayer, which will result in plenty of green charms and is really the only efficient way tbh. Well, maybe dragons, at least they're decent profit. Don't even bother with garbage like bloodvelds, they're terrible.

I didn't ask for that, go mess with other people Well, what else am I supposed to say? You shouldn't race if you don't think you can win. Mine rocks that other people aren't mining. It's better than trying to compete for every rock and never getting anything.

I just got those levels with 99 fishing. Don't know if that's a practical option though haha.

If you're going to spend money on something, 95 prayer is one of the best things to spend money on. So...seems logical enough to me.

If you can't win a race, you have to stop racing. Hop worlds until you have the spot to yourself.

Hunter guide? Most of the ones I've seen don't have enough info on some of the newer methods, like penguins, grenwalls, and implings.

Nests replace logs. The faster you chop the logs, the more logs there are to replace, and the more nests you get. That means lower-level trees give more nests. No. Yews are pretty bad--the xp is very slow and the profit is weak. Ivy would be roughly twice as fast, and you could easily make up the lost profit (and then some) by some other method. If you insist on profit through woodcutting, you should at least go with eucalyptus, which are faster xp than yews and better profit as well.

If you're using a ring of wealth, you're using it because you want to improve gem drops. Most of the time you don't care about improving gem drops--certainly not at blue dragons, where you presumably aren't even picking up most gems. Goraks are probably the place where RoW is most useful, because they drop from the rare drop table so frequently.

F2P has had access to maples for firemaking since forever, so nothing's really changed there. All that's changed is you can chop the trees now, but since doing so is so slow, the firemaking experience ends up being worse than willows. Besides, the whole point of burning maples is that they're obscenely inexpensive and you can just buy them. Fish have dropped in price a lot. Herbs are by far the best profit from Miscellania; fish used to be the second-best until the certer was added on Karamja and prices started to plummet. Over time the average expected value of a bird's nest is actually reasonably decent, particularly after long enough periods of time for the fractional nests to accumulate into full nests. It's certainly better than teaks/mahoganies. Also, MTK is an easy way to get god eggs and spirit seeds.

That's because there isn't a punch line. :shades:

I was just reading Scientific American while munching on some Wheat Thins and potato salad, and there was this article about lab safety in science classrooms. This one kid died in a lab accident because her clothes caught fire and nobody got her to the safety shower in time. Her death was totally preventable, and she died anyway. It got me thinking about how much we seem to latch onto the sorts of death which are near-impossible to prevent, like random acts of violence, when we ought to spend a lot more time and energy and money than we do on more preventable causes of death or illness, like iodine deficiency in developing countries or something. Which got me thinking, how much do we value life, anyway? And should the U.S. value the lives of its own citizens over the lives of random starving Africans? Then I thought, of course it should--the government's job is to look after its own people. That's why we have our own government and other countries have their own governments. The whole reason we have separate levels of government (local, county, state, federal...) is so that people can govern themselves more efficiently. If the U.S. is going to help other countries, it does so through international organizations like the U.N. And then I thought, hey, I wonder how the U.N. is doing on its goals of eliminating poverty and hunger and stuff? And that got me wondering what those foreign aid charities who are always sending me pamphlets actually do with all that money. I suppose they use it to buy food or something? And then I figured, well in that case, donating to those charities eases suffering, but it doesn't solve the problem of world hunger at all...you don't lift people out of poverty by giving them food and aid--you need stuff like jobs and infrastructure and whatnot, that sort of thing. I don't know, is a donation model really feasible for that sort of thing? Because it seems like a good commercial presence with free trade and that sort of thing has probably historically been more effective than relying on social and emotional incentives and stuff like that, right? Something like that... Around this point it dawned on me that if someone offered me a penny for my thoughts, I would be able to honestly say I was thinking about the economics of solving world hunger. That sort of realization tends to derail my trains of thought. :mellow: Anyway...um...I'm sure there must have been something I was getting at with that story... Actually, that reminds me of a joke. So there's these two beautiful young women who set up a kissing booth at the local fair, and after a little while a long queue has formed in front of it. Right next to their table is a man who set up a "Punch in the face" booth, and obviously nobody at all is queuing up in front of his booth. Hehe. Get it?

Knock knock... :cool: There's no need to conk me on the head like that, it was only a suggestion. :wink:

Tip.It Times needs a humor column. :-)

...Are actually about the same xp/hr as maples. :geek:

I'm sure some do, but maples are a pretty bad tree for it.
