think like 150m cash for con...

 

 

 

even did it cheap way buying oak logs using butler to change to plank and make oak larder

 

 

 

remember like 70 con i decided to go for 99

 

 

 

started with yellow p hat santa and like 20m cash

 

 

 

the santa and 20 dissappeared fast

 

 

 

had to sell yellow for purp and cash,

 

 

 

then sold purp for cash and 3 red masks

 

 

 

that was just enough for 99

 

 

 

 

 

little did i know i would get scammed out of a green p hat :\

ok. from my herblore lvl. to buy 99 herb outright, making super restores. i'd hav to buy 83k snapdragons.. which is 560m+, plus 83k red spider eggs, plus 83k wfv. definately the most expensive to buy outright. OUTRIGHT being the keyword.

That's why I asked for the amount.

 

 

 

140 mill at 77k per hour for steel (140 mill, that includes the return, right?)

 

 

 

60 mill at 44k per hour (100 mill - 40 mill)

 

 

 

gold wins?

 

 

 

And efficient =/= fast. if a method takes twice a long but only costs 25% less, the slower method is more efficient

 

 

 

I assume you ment to say "but only costs 25% of the faster method" instead of "25% less"? Anyway, your lineair definition of efficiency merely shows that spending money on skills is not efficient - under your definition - in the first place. You'd end up concluding that smelting steel bars (no costs) would be the most efficient if you considered that too, despite it being only ~10-15K / hour or so.

 

 

 

Your self-made definition of efficient misses the point that time = money, which is rather important here. What is the most efficient actually depends on the money making abilities of individual players. To keep it simple:

 

 

 

Level 99 = 13 mil exp needed.

 

Leveling by steel requires 13mil / 77K = 170 hours.

 

Leveling by gold requires 13mil / 44K = 295 hours.

 

Difference 295 - 170 = 125 hours.

 

 

 

Steel costs from level 1: 140mil

 

Gold costs from level 1: 80mil (your 60mil was based on level 85 smithing already)

 

Difference 140mil - 80mil = 60mil

 

 

 

So for steel bar smithing to be more useful 125 hours > 60 mil thus 1 hour > 480K. I.e. for everyone who is able to gain 480K per hour or more in some way, it is more efficient to level using steel bars, for anyone who is unable to do so, the gold ore would be more efficient instead.

 

 

 

Making up the difference in cash in less than the difference in time. For some reason I forgot the whole income thing.

 

 

 

Great, so the conclusion shows that one method will be more efficient in different circumstances. That changes the question however, it's a method within a skill which is expensive, not just the skill itself.

What is efficient or not solely depends on the pure money making abilities of individual players.

Hm I disagree. You'd be right if you say that individual players may disagree which skill is the most expensive though, as it depends on their hourly money making abilities and those are obviously not the same for everyone.

 

 

 

Still, you could assume some "average money making ability" or something like that and use that to determine which skill is the most expensive for most people.

Its construction no hands down because doing the cheap but fast way it costs around 120M, but if you did it the super fast expencive way It would cost a few billion...

Without a doubt Construction... It costs a ridiculous amount.

 

 

 

But on the other hand.. if you have all your materials, you can get from 1 - 99 in around 4 hours. Coslty.. but fast... ^^

I've heard construction to make it there the fastest way... costs up to 2bil..

i would proberbly thing con was, i mean using oak planks, 450k-500k per k, im lvl 66, and its 209k oak planks to 99, thats like 95mil or sumit

I'd have to say prayer or construction will cost the most.

just incase this aint been said already

 

 

 

You said 200k nature runes is 600m, its (60m) lol slight difference

oops don't mind me I was stoned

Getting 99 prayer the fastest way (Ourg bones) it would cost

 

 

 

65M - 91M (Glided)

 

 

 

Getting 99 construction the fastest way (Magogany planks) would cost

 

 

 

232M

 

 

 

Getting 99 Farming the fastest way (Magic trees) would cost (At most probley a few mill cheaper)

 

 

 

189M

 

 

 

Now I wasn't sure about herb, but I doubt it would cost anything AFTER you sold every thing you made because the ingredents only cost around 1-2k more then the pot dose and getting 99 the fastest way would only mean making somthing like 65,000 times which at losing around 1-1.5k per pot would mean you'd lose 60M-80M

 

 

 

 

 

So all in all construstion would cost more then the rest.

You are forgetting one thing.

 

with mahogany planks youd get 400k xp an hour.

 

with magic tree seeds youd get 8500 xp an hour(5 trees in 8 hours).

 

 

 

and as we all know- time is money.

 

 

 

Also, farming is not as simple as just planting one type of seed.

 

the best would be to use watermelon seeds, palm tree seeds and magic tree seeds, and with all those youd get 75-99 with about 165m, at about 15k xp an hour, that is still ridiculous compared to construction, not even counting the fact your plants could die.

If you don't sell pots and you use them herblore is the most expensive by far all though you could make 2x fold if you dag king with brews and super restores

If you don't sell pots and you use them herblore is the most expensive by far all though you could make 2x fold if you dag king with brews and super restores

If you didn't sell the pots you'd have 63k weapon posins....I doubt weapon posin would come in handy with dking.

 

 

 

Construstion costs the most end of it.

i wold be impossible pretty much to get 99 herby making super weapon poison.. the nightshade isnt tradeble..

Or for construction, what about training with gilded/marble materials? :XD: Then Demonic Thrones from 93-99. Haha, now that'd be the most expensive way to go about any skill, I'm sure.

ya tripsis only around 5.5bil not bad

ya tripsis only around 5.5bil not bad

 

 

 

93-99 alone (training with Demonic Thrones) is about:

 

 

 

5,148,000,000 gp :shock:

 

 

 

..and going from 1-93 on Gilded Benches (this is just an estimate, I'm sure there's an even more expensive way to go about it.. and I know you can't even make these until level 61.. but again, estimate) would cost around:

 

 

 

2,214,000,000 gp

 

 

 

So in total, probably somewhere around 7.5+ billion gp :XD:

eh thats not bad at all!! lol

well, in farming theres a possibility every one of your magic trees could die off, so you can spend any amount of money on it and not gain any experience.

 

 

 

the point is, total sum is only comparable if both the ways most efficient for the skill and even then the question of speed remains.

con most def

Its possible to pc prayer (isnt it?)

 

and you end up with more money at the other end :mrgreen:

 

But a lot of people say its 'cheating' when its not because you cant cheat really in Runescape :wink:

No no no, the fastest way, Not the most expensive way. And who ever said herb wep posin stuff isn't trable then the next bast thing is like 50k of them which is still not even close to con.
