Interesting guide, having ammased a decent, wealth over the years, I have considered merchanting, however I never really trusted it;... I did not consider the anti-merchanting way of making money so I thank you for that.... my method for money has always been drops... mostly through slayer, which in my opinnion is and always will be the best method of making money... 10M a week, and that is only 4 days for me... thank you for all the info and I will take it into consideration for my weekend trips... I may just put in a few buys now because of it ..... check out my shattered heart guide...

I was mistaken about the crafting, I thought you were talking about bringing gems with you... for a lot of people that would probably work, when I get back home ill update the guide later today... the farming thing is interesting... I may have to try that, though at the same time it usually takes maybe 3 trips around the patches to get the rocks, and the herbs help me out... one of the reasons im so adamant about doing the statues, is because ive needed a reason to get my stats up.

I do like the construction, the monkfish is for more experienced fishers and is a good idea, with me i perfer the net fishing, cause its pretty fast and 2 inventories is the max ive needed for both rocks... With the farming, potatoes I have not found that they yield as many which is why i will just drop them... however im not in the business of recouping my money as i just drop them or make compost out of them so while yours is not for me others will probably agree with you =) With crafting/smithing... this past statue took over 700 actions for me to get the crafting and 500 actions to get the smithing... which is why I use the hard leather, it crafts the fastestt and the full inv of gold ore it will give you the most chances... if you do the ammy method your not only cutting your chances in half each trip. you are also taking out the chance for the spot where the mould has to go... If i am wrong tell me, and thank you for your feedback =)

thank you mod =)... how do i get the pictures online? I have the pics of my statue with the 4 pieces added.... im going to be the first person done, or one of the first...

thanks for that info ill edit the post to be updated to that

that would be awesome cause my clan has come to get a lot of use out of it, and i want to spread the wealth...

Thanks for moving the thread mod =) I have just finished my 4th full statue so I thought i would put this up here for everyone to use... Ok so here we go Having collected 150+ Strange Rocks, I have learned the following: Higher lvl (e.g. higher lvl gems, rocks, logs) do not give you a better chance to collect the rocks: EDIT: I wanted to add an edit to put a list of the things i keep in my inventory for the statues... 1k unfinished cad pots 1k whiteberries 5k hard leather 25k willow logs 5k cabbage seeds 100 toadflax seeds 5k gold ore 5k raw trout 5k essance EDIT: also thank you 12pure34, reading through your post has inspired me ot add another part to each area... Location: My method of doing statues: Agility: I have found that barb village course is the shortest course and gets me the rocks fairly fast Crafting: Items: Hard leather/ Leather Speed: Fast Location: G.E (if i need extra supplies) Instructions: keep one spot open Cooking/Fishing: Items: Large Net/ Raw Low lvl fish Speed: Fast Location: Catherby (or fishing guild) for cooking and rogue den for cooking Instructions: Fish with big net in fighing guild, cook, you should get the rocks pretty fast... the reason to have low lvl raw fish, I have found that fishing rocks come faster than cooking. EDIT: advised by 12pure34 Construction: You need to be in normal mode, inside your house. The stone appears next to the portal. This means you have to 'wait' While waiting you can do the following things: Bring noted raw fish --> Have the butler unnote them (and bank them afterwards). Tough it may cost a little extra for the butler, you get the chance to combine construct rocks with cooking rocks. This is ofcourse done in the kitchen. Make teletablets --> Have a study within sight of the portal and just make teletablets while waiting! Profitable and magic experience. Farming: Items: Herb seeds/Cabbage seeds Speed: Medium Instructions: plant cabbage (as they are low cost seeds) and your herb seeds, after a stone set is collected in another skill, do your rounds of farming... you will have your rocks before the rest of the statue is finished (alternate per "12pure34") I'd advice potatoe / onion if you are looking for the rocks FAST! (20 minutes or so for them to grow). Sweetcorn otherwise. Ofcourse herbs, whichever you want to grow. Herblore: Items: Unfinished pots/Seconds Speed: Slow-fast (depending on what you spend) (can be expensive) Instructions: It is best to buy unfinished pots, though it can be expensive... but it can be faster I use super def pots or range pots or sara brews (93 slay helps with ice strykes) and complete the pots, if you do not want so spend the money on unifnished pots, its going to take longer as you will have to make the unifnished pots and the full pots... Thievery: Items: gloves of silence Speed: Fast Location: Dranor Instructions: as with many, preference: I use master farmer Smithing: Items: Bronze bars/Gold ore (with goldsmith gaunts) Speed: Fast Location: port plast (if quest done) or edge (if varrock armor done) or fally/al kharid Instructions: keep one space open Runecrafting: Items: any pouches you have and abyssal follower would be helpful... Speed: Slow-Medium Location: depending on which alter your going to, consult your local tip.it rc guide for fastest routes Instructions: as per the post below, the new rules follow per essance not per action so rc as you normally would :) Woodcutting: Items: Hatchet Speed: Fast Location: various places around rs or dranor Instructions: Chop ivy or oak/willow Mining: Items: pickaxe Speed: Fast Location: various places throughout runescape Instrucitons: mine copper or tin (for speed) drop items mined The instructions here are for speed and cost... taking both into consideration. eatch statue takes me around 6 hours of work... These are hopefully enough to get yall started... I am on my quest to be the first to complete all 30 statues, and i will try to get yall pictures as i go along, Thursday I will have my 4th statue completed... working on the rocks now =) enjoy and thank you
