it depends on the skills.. if my wc is low, and i want to fletch mage longs, ill buy. if i wanna train both fishing and cooking, ill get the fish myself.
is it better to craft empty light orbs or continue crafting dhides? empty light orbs gives 70xp each, which is the same as blue dhide. they cost near to nothing, except that soda ash is hard to collect.
though its good that you showed how to spin using as little mouse clicks as possible, i think that there's too much camera rotation involved. remb that most pple who spin flax are probably doing something else, like watching a movie.
you get skulled when you attack someone in the wilderness (initiate first strike) or enter the abyss. you'll lose all your items if you die while being skulled. if not you'll keep your 3 best items.
lumbridge is good.. however it usually gets crowded. then it'll be harder to click properly, especially at banks and the spinning wheels. and you'll get more of those door-closers pples. the good thing is that you can do some good trades there.
if you're going back to f2p, try and fill up your entire bank with everything that you'll use in f2p.. like all runes, all weps and armour, ores and bars, logs, fishes, hides and wadever else you want. this way, you'll be able to store more stuff than just using the 60 f2p spaces.
there's no use for prayers as your prayer points get reduced to 0 every time you enter the abyss. and yea, you'll need heroes quest for charging glories.
and that is why you should always check out the price of whatever you're buying... you can check the stats of everyone at the highscores on the main runescape website.. as long as its above 30 and within the top 1mil.
