From my experience, that is a pretty decent exp rate. Yews get somewhere around 30k on a good day and willows get upwards of 40k. Those may not be accurate as far as "best posible rates" but that's my averages that I calculated from the last few levels I got (all in F2P). So yeah, they're not the best, but I wouldn't say don't cut them ever. It's just another mediocre spot where you can be in a secluded spot and cut semi-privately. They're slower xp than the willows that are right next to them, and you get no profit. Why would you chop them? You might as well chop down normal trees, it'd be better cash.

Guide to cannoning Aberrant Spectres If you range them while you cannon you should get something like ~70k xp/hr or roundabouts, with a nice profit and some charms.

Yes. Heavy rod fishing will be good for you. Should get you to around 75-ish agility too.

Abby specs are good for cannoning. Close enough, right?

Do hunter FIRST. Then you have access to kingly hunting for 1-2m+ gp/hr, which you can use to easily pay for everything else. Get a quest cape ASAP. You want to be able to use all the quest rewards the whole time instead of wishing you'd had them sooner once you eventually do all the quests anyway. Do farming WHILE you do everything else. Work on it constantly WITHOUT planting trees. (Herbs and poison ivy and cactus spines, and optionally limpwurts, fruit-picking without replanting, and/or belladonna.) By the time you get 99 in all your other skills you'll have 99 farming anyway, so there's no point bothering with fast xp. And get 10k dungeoneering tokens for a scroll of life ASAP. Burst rock lobsters to 95-ish mage BEFORE your other combat stats, so that you can get summoning and have strong summoning familiars available the whole time. You don't need to burst all the way to 99, since you'll get plenty of ice strykewyrm tasks while training slayer, and you can fire surge them and probably get the rest of the way like that. Get prayer and herblore BEFORE you get your combat 99's so you'll always have access to Turmoil and overloads/extremes when you train, but get you may want to get prayer AFTER 96 summoning so you can use a pack yak. Get 92 firemaking BEFORE 99 woodcutting, then use the inferno adze to chop teaks to 99 woodcutting and get most of the rest of 99 firemaking at the same time.

You could always save up some money and get 92 prayer for Soul Split. That helped me a lot. *shrug*

Cooking. With lobsters. Firemaking works too. You could even train them together...light your chain of fires, then use one of them to cook your lobsters.

Fairy Tale Part 1 = 18 farming Forgettable Tale = 25 farming Ta-dah!

No.

Rocktails are somewhere in the 250k gp/hr range.

If you're rushing multiple floors, it automatically goes up a complexity level when you finish a floor. It's faster to do it on C2 than to leave and come back to do C1 again.

Last I checked you needed to value your time at something like 800k-1m gp/hr for d bones to be more efficient than babydragon bones. And I think it was like 500k gp/hr for big bones. Give or take. Point is you might not want to use d bones if you don't consider yourself very rich.

~75 seconds. Slightly slower than a ring of kinship. I just timed it. Speaking of which, in case you didn't believe me that maples are horrible, I've just done about a half hour of testing. Daemonheim maples with rune hatchet and Ring of Kinship at 99 woodcutting, time elapsed between start of inventory and start of next inventory: 1. 5:17 2. 4:44 3. 3:51 4. 4:09 5. 4:39 6. 4:39 7. 5:27 Total: 32:48 Average: 358.5 logs/hr, 35,850 xp/hr, 20,434 gp/hr Yeah, horrible for training. Don't chop them. Ever.

Rewarded handsomely compared to gaining zero GP via Ivy. ...No, not really. The money is terrible.

The rest of your post is spot-on, but I'll take issue with this bit. Speaking as one of these "old-school" lumberjacks, there never were any handsome rewards for woodcutting, and there still aren't. Well, okay, it's a pretty good-looking cape, but I mean aside from that.

Dragonfire yes, anti-dragon no. Use piety, bring a beast of burden, and bank the bones. Wear melee armor with DFS and whip. Your attack and strength levels aren't optimal, but Piety and super sets should make up for it. If you find yourself with extra food, it may be a sign that you should try switching to proselyte. You could skip them if you like, but you only have 78 summoning, so they're at least worth a shot if only for the excellent charm drop rate.

What? What are you talking about? Uh, farming is the most profitable skill in the game and it absolutely will make you rich. :-P

Yeah random events are much less frequent and they don't kill you anymore, and the rewards are better. Also, the logout timer was increased to 5 minutes. And other stuff.

16-17-92-60934199 page 13, post 1 for example. But is there anywhere where they've ever given any indication or hint or anything to suggest that they'd do it or even that it was under consideration? Because it seems like such an obviously pointless and stupid idea.

But there's no proof to completely disregard it aswell so in essence it's sort of a Devil's Proof moment. No proof to disregard it? What do you mean? :huh:

No, you're off by a factor of 10. Maples are 50 gp, not 500. So yeah. :-?

You don't need to reset your prestige just yet. You can only access a new floor by playing through the floor above it. Do a quick run through 18 and you'll be able to get to 19.

Or they could, y'know, train their dungeoneering before they use the bot. :rolleyes:

If you're not going to bank them, why even bother with maples anyway when you could burn willows? It's faster xp in both skills. Maples are much slower xp than willows, so there's no real reason to chop them. It's not as if you make any money from it, since the logs are close to worthless. I predict the only people who will actually chop them are noobs who don't know better.

Um...Requiem's article this week is pretty much just wrong. No offense. :thumbdown: First off, effigies don't repeat the same skill every time. It's just not how they work. They change each time you feed them. You can't get 135k runecrafting xp from a single effigy because they're coded so that can't happen. <_< Second, the skill caps aren't going to be raised to 120. It's just ridiculous, there's no reason for it, there's no evidence to support it, and it wouldn't improve the game at all. Why would you even bring it up? #-o It's like speculating that aggressive black dragon spawns will be added to the middle of Lumbridge because the equipment for fighting them is improving. Third, how are old training methods supposed to be abandoned, exactly? It's all well and good talking about how new methods give faster xp, but you can't dodge the fact that you can't use them unless you're already at a significantly high level. And how are you supposed to get there, hmm? It's not as if I can just go down to the Living Rock Caverns and start mining concentrated gold as soon as I want. 80 mining is not something you get in an hour, you know. :angry: It may be an understatement when I say it undermines your credibility when you use examples this nonsensical. I hope you aren't going to write more articles talking about how Stealing Creation is broken because you can get about 30 points a game and finish a game in roughly 5 minutes, or how the max hit of a godsword is around quadruple the max hit of a whip, or...well, you get the idea. :-P
