Well guys, me and my friend decided to do this back a long time ago. What it is is how much you profit/lose doing a skill the fastest way. Note: I do NOT include non-profitable ways that are the fastest, examples: Ivy, Timber, Precious Stone, etc. All of these ways either profit or lose. Note: I do not include combat skills, Dungeoneering, Agility, or Slayer. Agility, CB skills, and Dungeoneering aren't profitable in their fastest ways unless you collect drops in CB skills, which fastest ways don't usually have good drops. Slayer goes differently for each player. Profitable: Mining - I got 104m on my account in 3 months, which was my fastest. Fishing - 10.3m, dropped fish during fly fishing then did lobsters from 40-99 and banked them. Cooking - 950k, over 3m doing Tuna to 94 then Rocktail to 99 is over 2m loss. Woodcutting - 8m, highest possible log to 40, Maples to 99 Farming - 53m, mostly highest vegtables and lots of herbs. Hunter - 398m, though I did do some slow yet super profitable ways during my 99, I wound up with tons of great drops. Most profitable skill. Fletching - 1.3m, 99% of Fletching came from Yew Longbow stringing. Thieving - 58m, Blackjack. Runecrafting - 68m, I did one with Runespan in 2 weeks without any profit, then one with normal Runecrafting in about 4 months and got what I got. Together, that's about 701.5m. All of those skills together will take a little longer than 18 months playing 8 hours a day. Now, the other way around.. Loss: Magic - 13.3m, though you could make decent profit Alching, the quick way that can be done at exactly 13,350,000 is doing Rune Arrows, still requiring a lot of alching then rebuying. Prayer - 119m, the price of 75 construction, Marrentill, and to make the G. Altar will cost even more. Possible to get in one day. Construction-44m, despite the fact it costs a ton, it still takes about 3 weeks. Crafting - 75m, profitable in a super slow, 25k xp/hr way. 75m doing a 275k xp/hr way. Herblore - 275m, the cape makes it worth it. So do the extremes/overloads. Smithing - 19m, less and faster with SC hammers. Firemaking - 4m, not the fastest way, but Maples from 40-99. Summoning - 250k, you just need the charms, as you only lose 250k from selling the pouches 1-99. This ends up with a loss of about 549.5m, meaning you could max your skills by doing all the profitable skills, then doing the loss skills. These loss skills would take about 2 months to all 99 together, about 2 years to max these skills. You would still wind up with a 152m profit if you did the profitable skills max before maxing these. Prayer and Summoning are included because you don't need to actually do combat to level them, except for charms for Summoning, but those can be gotten by Firemaking bonfires. If I forgot a skill, let me know, as I did rush this back with my friend and haven't had the time to edit it. Thanks for reading! - Woundtight
