When I don't know what to do, I'll check what skills I'm close to levelling. Usually there is one within 100k or so.
Or I look what requirements I need to completely finish a diary/task, and start working on that. Lately, I've been fishing for 85 to pie for a rocktail catch.
Or, in your case, look up a certain quest requirement you haven't got yet, and work for that in order to do the quest. While getting p2p, I started questing. After doing all the quests my levels allowed, I wanted to finish them all, so I went to work for the requirements. I remember smithing was a pain (pre-stew), as well as agility.
There is SO MUCH to do, such as minigames, activities and so on. Heck, why not hunt some shades or vyrewatches? Just go somewhere you haven't been before, and do some stuff there.
If all else fails: log off. It is a game after all, real life is calling!

Well if you got it that way, ti should be still possible.
Try not to get them bach to back as it is slower, and I think there are better ways of getting huntyer xp than through pit falls.
-
Do you get better yields with magic secatuers?
Yes, but this question is not really relevant here.
You need secateurs in order to fight the jade vine, but I think whoever metioned it was being sarcastic.

Nice quest. It ended very abrubtly, though. Too bad, I ws just getting in the mood for the next machines.
At first, I was annoyed to be left in the dark for both machines, and it took me a while to figure out the controls (cosmic control thingt had clickable knobs to contol the pillars, DOH). Some good old trial and error questing, without the penalty of doing something wrong (like in EW3) was something I liked doing.

Clay was and still is slow xp. The animations take very long, espacially baking.
Back in the days, making pot lids was acheap way to level crafting, but other methods are WAY faster, but more expensive.

Erm... aren't moss titans decent summoning xp?
why not use them?

Dailies, manage the kingdom (I used the seeds for farming, but selling them is more efficient) gave a nice amount of GP's for little money.

YOu can have as many urns as you want, but you can only have 10 FULL urns at a time, then you must start teleporting them
If it so much as has one bit of charge, it counts towards that 10.
Oh, well I teleport'd it right when it filled.
Why would you need more then 1 filled urn?
To get an *ssload of xp in 1 minute.
You know, save them up, and get like 5 levels inn 5 minutes.
You can only have 10 filled at a time. Even with a Decorated fishing urn, that's only 19k xp, that's not really that much.
True, but it would be a reason to have 1k stocked if it were possible, which is whot the guy I replied to asked.
Anyways, when fishing monks I get 1900xp per urn. It's a nice booster for little to no cost. The inventory space loss is minor (3 fish per urn). What are you fishing to get 19k per urn?

I always wear my Ardougne cape3 for a free Ardougne farming patch teleport, and direct acess to the monastery bush patch. Poison Ivy is very good for a bush patch; it cannot die, the berries sell nicely and the seed cost vs. xp is good.
Since you do most of the travelling by teleport, you don't spend much time running. I only wear boots of lightnes, and I never have to rest.
If you are not on the Juju time schedule, you might as well do the flower patch, with either marigolds or limpwurt roots. Adds up nicely on the cash pile.

1: Avoid staking - Rehab time for you lol
2: There are several dailies you can get a lot of money with, for basically nothing.
3: Farming herbs, maybe limpwurts if you are into that. Depending on your level.
4: MTK gets you a nice amount per week, with no effort, only investing cash.
5: Depending on your levels, dragon slaying (pick your kind) is mostly profitable for all dragons, greens are probably best if you can't do frosts.
Depending on your stance on inproving your levels, do slayer. Drops, combat xp, charms all in a mixed bag of goodyness.
Use the money you have left to invest in the above, and you'll be up in no time. If you feel like quitting over such a loss (easy come, easy go), you might as well stop now, as I think this game is about more than just cold hard gp's.

Isn't there a way to dedicate the altar in fally to serving the same purpose?
I think it is part of one of the elite tasks / diary of falador, i don't know it by heart.

I do semi DIY if it cuts down on costs AND isn't boring/requires too much attention.
The tedium in cannonball making is deathly though, I'd never do that. I do, however, make my own amulets - from ores - for magic. I'm training mining, smithing, crafting and magic by doing this :thumbup: I find that sometimes DIY is the cheap, better option. Efficiency guys, don't be hating on me okay? :P
I hate to do this, but if you looked at everything you do for DIY step-by-step, it may not be as cheap or better as you think.
However, Fun > Efficiency anyways, so whatever works for you.
One question, are DIYers allowed to make money and buy items from shop? Say, mostly rune full, rune pickaxe, etc.
Cos I think it'd be rather unbearable to not be able to use a rune (or hell, addy, maybe not even mith...) until you can get a drop. (I'd say make it yourself, but you couldn't even make them until recently o_o)
Actually, better question, what items are you allowed to buy from shops? Certain items would be unavoidable, like knives, tinderboxes, etc. Items PLAYERS sell to the general store would be an obvious no-no....
As I play for fun, I can do whatever I want. A hardcore DIYer would not buy equipment from the G.E., but from NPCs would be ok I guess. Else, they wouldn't be able to train summoning after all. I bought my rune pick and dragon axe, as I am not much of a boss fighter. I once smelted 2k cannon balls, and got to know that DIY indeed CAN mean Days Into Years, especially as a cannon slay sometimes, and especially bloodveld or abberrant spectre tasks cost a lot of cannon balls.
-
A DIY character may be fun in the future for just that, fun. I couldn't imagine trying to create a character into pro-status with just DIY...insane... :blink:
Since FUN is the only reason I play RS, I DIY a lot. To hell with efficiency.
I never bought logs, food, potions or herbs, I all got them myself. Except for 10 rocktails I needed to finish the Falador task.
Slayer is a DIY version for all kinds of combat, I like it a lot as its lessens the grinding for melee, ranged and magic.
I used the kindom for fish to cook, herbs for herblore, coal for smithing, logs for fletching/firemaking. I have crafted 99% of all the runes I used myself or got them from monster drops. When I got 100 wires from the mime court case, I raised my crafting levels to the level needed to make goblin light bulbs, and placed 100 of them for 105k firemaking xp, thieving high level chests as I was searching Dorgesh'kaan for broken lamps. I had fun while doing it, but could have gotten more money/xp in the same time grinding.
On the other hand, total DIY, however possible, would get you nowhere anytime soon, especially at lower levels. Therefore, I bought gold ores as I hate mining, buy seconds to train summoning, buy seeds to farm my herbs and buy weapons and armour as it would take too long to get them as monster drop. I buy planks to train construction and use the grand exchance to get items fast when I need them.

I prefer the CT ones but meh.
Just slap on regular melee gear, bunyip/EE(E) and some food for healing. There's nothing special about them, just ignore the mini's they spawn.

Apart from the legs (plateskirt is better: same stats, but lighter), stick with either rune or granite.
Helm: Neitisnot, or slayer helm when applicable)
Body: granite / rune
Legs: dragon plate skirt.
Boots: Dragon!
Gloves: take the highes recipy for disaster gloves you can, best up to "barrows".
The chainbody and platebody are this expensive because they were once very rare. The mediuj helmet and full helmet have the same story. Stat-wise, you're better of with a Helm of Neitiznot in most cases.
Once you hit 70 defence, dragon armour becomes obsolete as you can get Barrows then.
-
The spreadsheets are a good help.
Snapdragon is good, but I don't think you have the level for them just yet. Stick to toadflax/ranarr/avantoe,safe moneymakers.
As for the other spots, I always do limpwurt as well, since the roots are valuable (but I use them for herblore) and the seeds are quite cheap. You can do marigolds as well. Not good xp, but better then nothing and the cash adds up (4*3k iirc).
You can't pay the farmer to look after herbs.
Use super compost ALWAYS, and unlock My Arm's patch ASAP. You can use cheaper herb seeds throughout the 4 regular patches and use a more expensive seed (ranarr) for the trollheim patch since it cannot die.

When I finished a court case, the reward was 100 wires. So, as a distraction (court cases ARE a D&D after all) I made 100 goblin light bulbs.
I wondered, how long would it take to replace them all, what would be the best method (combining with picking the locks of the dorgeshuun chests?) as they represent 100k fm exprerience + 5000 to boot for replacing 100 of them.
Good idea, or sell the lot?

start over.
Sounds silly, and up to some degree it is.
I assume you haven't unlocked all the floors you can do for lvl54 that you currently have. The first run, to unlock all floors available for your level, are usually done on complexity 1, size small. Do all floors you can for your level, and you'll see your prestige rising with every new floor. Once you have unlocked all possible floors for your level, reset.
The prestige (actually the amount of consecutive completed floors since your last reset) will remain, allowing for higher xp per dungeon when you start over.
When you have unlocked all floors possible for your level, reset, start over. Do all floors at complexity 1 small, except for the last 5-10 floors (as stated in the post above), do them on complexity 6, medium for more xp. The reason for this is that the base xp for the lower floors is low to begin with, so it's more time efficient to rush through them to the higher level floors which provide more xp.
I hope this is comprehensive for you. you can do c1 rushes on the lower floors in like 5-10 minutes a dungeon. For the larger c6 floors, more time is needed.

Block the ones you don't like.
Period.
I personally liked fire giants and greaters, since they are quite fast and ok xp.
-
why not? Getting up to 12 limps a trip is worth it to me!
-
I do:
Ecto -> port Phastmathys patch
Cabbage port -> Falador patch
Camelot teleport -> Catherby patch
Ardy cape -> monastery for bush
Ardy cape for ardy patch
Trollheim tele for My Arm's patch.
Either glory to al-Kharid for cactus, mix in chipped tablet to rimmington for another bush, or glory to Edge to bank.

All quests are worth doing. I do them to keep my Quest cape also.
Sure, you may not like them all very much, but the stories and lore gives you a better game playing experience.
As stated, all quests that unlock areas, weapons or transportation methods are DEFINATELY worth doing.
-
I'd recommend some exploring of the new map.
Doing quests to unlock new areas (eastern lands, desert, lost city) and transportation methods (grand tree, fairy ring) will give you an incentive to train specific skills to specific levels.
Just enjoy. Wander around. Don't worry about money, as the 1.5M you currently have is sufficient for the short term at least. Get a Dragon longsword, DDS, and I think you already have some decent melee/ranged armour.
Enjoy!
How to train from 67 to 70 crafting without losing too much?

The fact that you'll be using sc needles implies that you're doing dragon hide. Green dragon hide bodies is most efficient of all leatherworks, iirc.
By the weay, you're 1 day late... you could have gotten the level for half the money ;-)
