  1. No it's been locked for ages because this thread took it's place. It would have been crazy had you mentioned Suomi 5 years ago there :P

    Just to clarify: It wasn't me mentioning suomi back in 2009. I'm not sure what I had posted back in 2006, but I didn't really track the top players intensively, so I don't think I'd have had a good view on it.

     

    Meh, anyway, congratiulations to SUOMI (haven't said it yet). Get that rc under your belt (while doing herb and con if you feel like it/if there's bxpw), and you've only got (semi) fast skills left :-)

  2. I am positive we will see someone "max out" by getting all skills 200m some day in the distant future, in say.. 5 years time. Skills *do* get easier through time and what people deemed impossible only 2 years ago has been done by several hundreds now. It is by no means an easy task, and I'm not really sure if any of the current top players will succeed, I actually think not. But there are several players hiding in the shadows (as the previous poster said), another of them being S_U__O__M_I who is truly gonna go far :P

    I thought this guy was the first to mention SUOMI?

  3. Yay, a good opportunity for me to train hunting, a skill that I've long neglected. So far gotten 88-91 hunter in 3 hours 30 min. Planning to get 93, and then get 93 thieving to and start on mining (probably won't have time for mining). With all those 93, and agility through some pengs/effigies/trollinvasion/circus I'll have all skills above 93 :-).

     

    I'm kinda sad though I don't have any uber quick xp buyables left (like herblore and con), cause it feels almost like a waste not do those. Was a blast getting 90-99 con in a bit over an hour last xp weekend (long and curved bones).

  4. A lot of it is from people recovering accounts. Various groups hack websites and get their databases (fansites and forums are big targets specifically older ones). Someone got a hold of an older version of tip.its database. Also they go around the runescape classic forum on here and pick out names (because most likely the don't still play). If you are on damage incorporated they got hacked i think the beginning out august and their database was up for sale not too long ago. Also even when the passwords are encrypted if you have an semi easy password there are ways of "decrypting it" or at least having a website go through combos of passwords such as md5 and you can just search it on there http://www.md5decrypter.co.uk/.

     

    Some bad language but you can see he has tip.its database

    And anyone who spends 5 minutes on pastebin can find loads of userbase dumps for rs accounts. All of this info people post about themselves is just helpful for people trying to steal their account. The most valuable parts being the creation date(all the hacking sites have links to tip.its threads where you post when you started playing) and first password(which is usually easy to guess because most people who played back then had an easy password, or even search the 100 most used passwords).

     

    Damn, I joined tip it around that time, and I'm not sure what password I had back then. I don't think I ever used that on runescape, but I'm not 100% sure. Anything I can do to secure my account even more?

     

    I have random recoveries with the answer written down and hidden in my room, my tip it account is connected to an old hotmail account I never use anymore (and that I never connected my RS account to). My runescape character is connected to my main gmail account though, might change that

     

    EDIT: just checked my spam(on my regular emailadress) and I have some emails about runescape: "greetings, it has come to our attention that you are selling your runescape account..." (I don't dare to open it). This worries me quite a bit, because I wouldn't think hackers (or the ones trying) know about that emailadress. I have some emails from jagex etc. so it means that if that gmail account gets hacked, I'm screwed. What do?

  5. Agility/crafting effigies: More efficient to do agility, you only need 87 agility for a guaranteed boost to 97. Crafting can be assisted for 30k free xp per day.

    Thieving/construction effigies: Roughly equally efficient depending on income, can boost by 3 with tea. Thieving has a +4 boost with the abyssal lurker scroll. Construction can be assisted.

    Fm/cook: Mature chef's delight boosts by 6.

    Fish: Farming has +4 stranger plant but fishing is more efficient.

    Wc/fletch: Woodcut is more efficient, but only has a +2 boost (mature axeman's folly).

    Hunt/herb: Hunter has a guaranteed +8 or +9 with the Ooglog pool.

    Mine/smith: Mining is more efficient, both have the same guaranteed +2 (mature dwarven stout).

    Summ/rc: Rc is more efficient. Summ has a +10 boost like agility. Don't dump your lamps until the highest level you can w/o wasting effigies (if you have 40 dragonkin lamps, dump at level 97).

    Sometimes you will need the lamps though to get to the level to start opening effigies with the skill. For instance, I used some effigies to get 80-89 something rc (together with pengs and elite diaries) and then I could start boosting for effgies and assists. If I wouldn't have done that, I'd have stayed low rc forever. Even at 91 rc, I used some lamps on them so I could get 93 faster, which makes getting assists so much easier. If I had to wait until I had enough xp from just opening effigies, I would have had a much harder time getting assists for a while.

    Also, bank space can be an issue. If were speaking about multiple levels by just opening effigies, you'd need space for hundreds of them (11k per effigie on average), which most people don't have.

     

    That being said, in an ideal case, it's best to do what you did yeah.

  6. Many different herbs/potions but Bonus XP Weekend was just announced and prices keep crashing. So typical with my luck haha, was expected =P Oh well I will be happy if I make even small profit.

    TBH, I was already frowning a bit when you announced you were buying BXPW herblore ingredients. I remember that when you announced that, I went to check prices, and noticed you missed out on the dip, and already overpayed

  7. I still find it funny that people wait for bxpw to be announced to buy their supplies, when the pattern is every early March and September they have one.

     

    I have been saving my high level mtk herbs since last bwpx, and buying the secondaries in bunches along the way.

     

    The only thing that I didnt buy were all of my summoning seconds, although I did put in an offer last night on a few of them, let's hope it took.

     

    I am sitting on 6,700 snapdragon weeds, and another 100 seeds. so I should be able to sell my over 7,000 snaps and buy turmoil.

     

    I hope it is as good as everyone says it is.....

    Just so you know: a lot of people have been stocking up. This is the reason why a lot of the supplies aren't going up as much as people hoped. This coupled with bots keeping supplies low (but the poplular bonus xp ones, that were kept artificially high in anticipation of the bxw), will probably cause prices not to rise that much at all.

  8. Had 12k torstols (bought for 36k each) and sold em for 47-49k. While I was selling they were already going down. As the guy on 200m thread said, too many people stocked up, and with current deflation and bots, a price higher than 50k is pretty unlikely. Let's see what they do, but I think torstols will settle at around 45k. A lot of people with stocks of torstols are probably still at work, and will ditch all their torstols soon.

     

    Magic pots are not doing as well as I'd have hoped either. They're not even going over 5k. I have more hope for those though, seems like torstol was mostly focused on, but we'll see.

  9. Didn't play much yesterday should max out the 2 harder ones today.. I barrage ghasts etc on hard routes.

    I won't be the first to finish it as I haven't really played yesterday but It'll be a good 5-6 hours maybe more until these are maxed since they don't fight.

    Why barrage ghasts? They always seem to aggro on me, so I just rapier them?

     

    Do the hard ones also start predicting paths at lvl 80? I guess you could then try to avoid the long combat events, and go for other stuff? Or don't they lvl from bridge events etc? Any idea what would be best for powerlvling the hard characters (assuming you can predict paths)

     

     

    To the guy asking what to bring: Bring a yak with scrolls to bank talon beast charms etc. Also easy to store your sack of potatoes so they don't get rotten if you don't have a pouch (I haven't had one till I got the infinite one, cause my char uses their pouch on the ghast it's attacking, but the other ones still rot your food).

  10. Let's not turn this into an "compare you xp/h" thread. No ones here is interested in any xp/h, but that of the top players. The reason they have such high xp/h is that the after all 99s, and when aiming for 200m, your xp will generally come in much faster (compare getting 200m overal xp, including 1-90 rc, 1-90 wc with parts of it in rsc etc etc...) versus getting 200m in cooking at 600k xp/h, or 200m crafting at 500k xp/h or ...

  11. Fishing and then cooking what you fish is profitable as long as you get high enough to do sharks.

    Buying yew logs and then fletching into yew long and then stringing them is good profit. (higher if you cut own logs)

    The obvious woodcutting but is mostly always botted.

    Buying grimy herbs in bulk and cleaning them is good. (most clean sell for more than grimy). Or get really fancy and make potions.

    Alching yew longs can come out as profit. Not big but still good xp and decent money.

    Runecrafting is good as long as you have the high enough skill.

    Most skills in RS are profitable if you do it right. As in getting the thing you want to make yourself. (Ex. cutting your own logs for fletching)

    Hope this helped!

    Dont confuse people by mixing things up. "most things are profitable if you do it right" is an outright lie. If you say fletching is profitable when you cut your own logs, you actually mean that woodcutting makes profit, fletching makes a loss (or maybe a tiny profit, but not worth the time if you are doing it for the money), but the woodcutting gain is bigger than the loss in fletching, so overal you profit. This would mean the OP is much better of NOT fletching his stuff. So please, don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about.

    (I'm not gonna bother commenting on the "get fancy and make pots" part, but it's obvious that making pots DOES NOT profit)

  12. There is no "good" afk money maker. All the ones that are afk are going to be less money/hr than killing level three men in edgeville. The best skilling money maker is grenwall hunting at 90+ hunter at 1-1.8 mil/hr if you know how to do it right, but it is in no way afk.

    THIS.

     

    If you wanna make the big money while skilling, you will have to pay attention (torstol farming with juju pots and grenwall hunting in between).

  13. Alright, thanks for clearing that up (thought it's an estimate, so a more correct answer from SUOMI would still be nice).

     

    I was wondering about something else now: What are your plans for XP weekend, SUOMI? It seems like anything but making overloads would be a waste? I hope you are planning to make a ton of overloads during the weekend? It would be some uber quick and relatively cheap herblore xp (since I heard you've bought supplies some weeks ago).

  14. Hey SUOMI, I was just wondering what your xp/h (average) is atm (for your whole account, so total xp divided by your total hours played). Mind sharing this with us? (and it would be interesting to see how other top players are doing, compared with him)
