[hide=Combat] COMBAT

 

 

 

Aaaah combat, the group of skills that gains you respect in game, the higher level you are the more respect you gain (unless your a level 3 skiller).

 

 

 

Combat is based on these 7 skills:

 

-Attack

 

-Strength

 

-Defence

 

-Prayer<-This will be explained in more detail further on in guide

 

-Mage<-This will be explained in more detail further on in guide

 

-Ranged<-Will be explained more

 

-Hitpoints

 

 

 

 

 

Attack,Strength, Defence and Hitpoints are pretty much all the same. Kill enough monsters and your level will slowly increase.

 

 

 

There is an investment of gp at the beginning of combat but to keep it costless you are going to have to train on monsters that require no food.

 

 

 

Here are a few:

 

 

 

Experiments

 

Rock crabs

 

Any monsters that are lower than your level that will do hardly any damage.So you do not have to pay for food!

 

 

 

Pest control

 

[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Ranged] RANGED

 

 

 

Just train on monsters that will not hit you highly, best way to make this skill costless is make your own arrows using skills and have AVA's accumulator this will get 75% of your arrows back to you (I don't know much about it, as i am not a quest person)

 

 

 

Again pest control is best free training, just make sure you can hit 50 zeal quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

BURY ALL BONES FROM THIS AS IT WILL GIVE YOU PRAYER XP

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=Prayer]Prayer

 

 

 

Hopefully you have been listening to me and burying all them bones from killing and trapping monsters.

 

 

 

You will be using combat skills to get free pray xp.

 

 

 

The best bones to get for prayer without using food are big bones from hill giants. There are 2 places to camp out and kill and then bury for this.

 

 

 

On way to woodland (I said you'd never return calm down it's close) There is a nice group of hill giants here usually empty.

 

 

 

 

Taverly dungeon

 

 

 

 

There are 3 hill giants here, usually empty.

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to get prayer xp, without fighting your going to have to go to into the wild.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are a lot of re spawns of bones here, and some big bones as well. Just pick up and bury, wear boots of lightness and spotted/spottier cape and just run around picking and burying.

 

 

 

 

 

You not wanting to bury? You want to use the ectofuntus because of the higher prayer xp? Simple kill level 53 ogres just east of castle wars, collect the bones and bank them.

 

 

 

ECTOFUNTUS-You must of done Ghost's ahoy to use this method.

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Withdraw:

 

+9 Big bones

 

+9 Buckets

 

+9 pots

 

+1 ectophail

 

~#~You must have ghost speak necklace on

 

 

 

-Empty ectophail, refill it.

 

-Go down to the slime and fill all 9 buckets.

 

-Empty ectophail to top and refill

 

-Go up a floor and grind bones.

 

-Go back down and worship ecto

 

-Walk/tele to bank

 

-Repeat

 

 

 

This method is good, fast and worth it if you want bank the bones.

 

 

 

 

 

Guilded altar

 

 

 

I am unsure of this method but it is meant to be better than ecto if anyone knows please post.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Magic]Magic

 

 

 

To start off from level one, do witch's potion and imp catcher quest this will get you too level 10 for free!

 

 

 

From here to level 55 you must spend some money, best spells to do on a budget are strike spells. Do earth strikes till level 13 and then fire strikes till level 55. It is best to get a fire/earth/air staff to cut down the cost of runes.

 

 

 

Best place to cast these spells are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Low level monsters that will allow high hits = More mage xp

 

 

 

Once you get 55 mage, you are ready for free or maybe even profitable mage xp. (Never buy nats and yew longs to alch, you will be losing 122 gp every 3 seconds! to 146.6k an hour!)

 

 

 

Two things to do:

 

 

 

Method 1 (70+ Fletch needed)

 

 

 

-Buy yew logs 290-300 each

 

-Buy bowstrings 150-180 each (at seers spinning wheel or lumby spinning wheel/bank)

 

-Buy nats 280-300 each (You can buy them 220-270 ea from Ali Morrisane in al kharid, Yanille 220-270 each<--you need 66 mage, or mage arena rune seller)

 

-Just make your longs and alch

 

 

 

 

 

Method 2:

 

 

 

-Buy yew longs 580-600 each or mage longs 1.3k each

 

-Buy pure essence 70-80 each, and make nats.

 

-Alch your yew longs, this should bring you in a profit of atleast 98 gp per alch =), much better.

 

 

 

Tip for alching:

 

 

 

Press shift 5 times, click mouse and use mouse keys. Just position mouse over High-alchemy, press 5 and press 5 again on your yew/mage long.

 

 

 

Will be getting pics soon, on how to alch.

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=Agility]Agility

 

 

 

Agility, theres something about this skill. It is not the most popular throughout RuneScape, but you want fast run restore times for next to nothing right?

 

 

 

 

 

Start at Gnome Stronghold

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep going until level 35, and then to barbarian course. Easy to get to with games necklace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring some food.

 

 

 

 

 

Keep going here until 40-45, and it's time for Brimhaven agility course.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring about 1k and cake from thieving.

 

 

 

 

 

Just run around tagging pillars, and collecting tickets. (I think a pair of the new karamja gloves give more xp when you cash in tickets)

 

 

 

 

 

Note:Whenever your doing agility courses keep your hp below 20 so when you fail an obstacle you'll only take 2-3 damage, preserving more food.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Thieving]Thieving

 

 

 

Thieving costless if your careful.

 

Best to start at cake stalls in ardougne (wear Armour because market guards will hit you without it) and bank all cake, carry on until level 38-40.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then go to draynor and pickpocket master farmers, keep all the seeds except for barley/hops. You can use some of the food here as they stun you, and hit 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep going until level 65, so you unlock the summer section of sorcerer's garden. Just bring some empty beer glasses and a pestle and mortar, negotiate the maze and pick the squ'irk fruit, you'll also get 70 farming xp, you could bank these juice and cash them in to osman and your level will shoot up, or cash in when your full. You can also get herbs from here but they aren't that good.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Farming]Farming

 

 

I myself don't know much about farming, but it ties in with alot of other skills: Combat, slayer, thieving, woodcutting and herblore.

 

Seeds are obtainable by:

 

Theiving

 

Generally killing monsters (Eg: Moss giants)

 

Woodcutting, nests from trees (You can increase your chance of getting nests by wearing a strung rabbit foot)

 

 

 

If you've been doing sorcerer's garden you should have got some farming xp there, but otherwise. Pick up all the seeds you can from combat/slayer training.

 

 

 

Thieving

 

Keep seeds from thieving farmers.

 

 

 

Woodcutting.

 

Keep the seeds from birds nest, as they can be high level seeds.

 

 

 

Herblore:

 

When you grow your herbs/seconds you can use them for herblore and then sell the pots.

 

 

 

The magic secatuers, from a fairy tale part 1, they give a 10% increase of produce harvested.

 

 

 

Just grow seeds, and use the products for compost. You can buy pineapples from charters to get super compost, and increase your produce harvest even more, and super compost will give you xp as well.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Herblore]Herblore

 

 

 

To start herblore you must have done druid ritual.

 

 

 

 

 

Herblore is a tricky skill to get up without spending cash but alot easier than construction.

 

 

 

 

 

The magic monster for free levels is chaos druids. These are in taverly dungeon and edgeville dungeon. Just kill these and id the herbs, and keep them all even the gaum, marrentill, tarromin and harralander.

 

 

 

 

 

level 3-19

 

 

 

Just id all the herbs you get from druids and bank the ones you can't id.

 

 

 

19-31

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go to lumby swamps with 26 gaums, and collect swamp tar in groups of 15, and make gaum tar.

 

 

 

31-39

 

 

 

Repeat tar, but use marrentill instead.

 

 

 

39-44

 

 

 

Make tarromin tar until 44

 

 

 

44+

 

 

 

Make harralander tar.

 

 

 

 

 

There are 2 reasons to make tar.

 

 

 

1)It gives more xp than it would in pots

 

2)Can be used with salamanders for strength/range/mage xp

 

 

 

Note:you can sell the tar but unsure for how much.

 

 

 

 

 

Just keep collecting unids and id them and grow seconds from farming, sell the pots or use them. this should make you allot of money.

 

 

 

I have found a new method of getting costless levels in herblore, and it is by making quite decent pots (Super attacks, and super strength)

 

 

 

Making Super attacks:

 

-Buy irits 1.6-2k each

 

-Buy vials and eye of newts 200-250 each

 

That brings the total cost upto 2.5k MAXIMUM, now look for people selling super strength pots at 4.5k each. So that will bring the total up to 7k. You can now sell these as "pure" sets in any pking worlds in edge bank, 7-8k each

 

 

 

Making super strength:

 

-Buy kwuarms 4.5-4.8k each

 

-Buy limps 800-1k each, and vials 200-250 each

 

That brings the total to max 6050 gp, buy super attacks 1k each, and sell these sets 7-8k each

 

 

 

 

 

[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Woodcutting]Woodcutting

 

 

 

Very simple skill, as it simply gathering. It needs a tiny investment; maximum 20k, for a rune axe (about 3mil for dragon axe, pointless in my eyes)

 

To start bring this inventory:

 

 

 

(knife there for fletching the normal logs into shafts)

 

 

 

Or this inventory:

 

 

 

 

 

(tinderbox there so you can cut, then burn your logs.)

 

 

 

Woodcutting spots.

 

Normal trees

 

East of draynor, near jail

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oak trees:

 

Outside of castle wars

 

 

 

 

Willow trees:

 

Barbarian assault

 

 

 

 

Draynor

 

 

 

 

Yew tress:

 

Edgeville

 

 

 

 

Seers

 

 

 

 

Fallador

 

 

 

 

Note:You should bank all the logs you get, so you can use them for firemaking or fletching.

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=Fishing]Fishing

 

 

 

Another gathering skill. I'll get right into it. The best fishing xp in game is fly fishing, also the fish from this are good cooking xp but that will be explained in cooking.

 

 

 

First thing to do is get level 20 fishing for the trout, salmon comes in at level 30.

 

There are only two places (that i know of) to fly fish with bank near.

 

 

 

Barbarian village

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are two fishing spots here they move occasionally but not too far. There are two banks to choose from varrock west or edge. I am unsure or which is closer.

 

 

 

Shilo village

 

 

 

 

This is the closest fly fishing spot in game, but there are disadvantages. When the fishing spot moves, it moves, sometimes too the other side of river, sometimes to an un-fishable spot very west.

 

 

 

 

 

Fly fishing needs a minor investment about 5-10k. You should buy/collect 1k feathers (price 5-8 ea) and fish and sell the fish (trout=50 each, salmon=70 each) Then buy more feathers.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Mining]Mining

 

 

 

The last real gathering skill. If you are not yet 41 mining you should be aiming to mine in these locations till 60.

 

 

 

Varrock mine

 

 

Close to varrock east bank

 

 

 

 

 

Rimmington mine

 

 

Semi-close to fally east bank

 

 

 

 

 

Ardougne mine

 

 

Quite close to ardougne south bank, and a good place to mine coal before mining guild.

 

 

 

 

 

A rune pickaxe is essential for good mining, you can sell some of the ore you have stocked up, to buy one.

 

 

 

60 mining,it's time to join them dwarves underground. The best place to mine coal in game just mine coal and if it comes up mith and hold into it, or sell it and 400 each and buy iron ore.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Hunter]Hunter (bury all the bones from this if you want pray xp)

 

 

 

This is the most exciting semi-gathering skills (it's semi because most of the time you have no use for what you have caught)

 

 

 

Hunter requires a minute investment less than 1k to start. Firstly you want to buy yourself 5 bird snares to last you until level 43. You are going to catch crimson swifts until level 9.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when you get level 9, head back to yanille and buy about 15 butterfly jars and a butterfly net.

 

Now go to the woodland hunting area (Fairy ring code AKQ) and bring 5k a chisel and an axe if you plan on staying long.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catch copper long tails until level 15, and start to lay snares and catch ruby harvests. At level 20 you can lay 2 traps! Keep going until level 37, and you can start making dead fall traps for [puncture]ly kebbits. It's best to stop catching butterflies and follow this set up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut logs for dead fall (axe), use bird meat from snares for baiting and use claws with chisel for fletch xp.

 

 

 

 

 

When you reach 43 you should go to falconry which is a little east and just power on until level 63. You can now leave this place and never return.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buy 10 box traps (you never know) and just catch red chinchompa's, these are stackable! and you can either sell them 600-700 ea but they are much better for ranged xp!.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Firemaking]

 

Firemaking

 

 

 

 

 

Really it is one of the most pointless skill but omg it has the best cape/cape emote.

 

This is a straight forward skill to get up without spending, but only if you kept your logs from woodcutting.(You can sell these willows 20-25 each, and then go to any f2p world with the cash and tinderbox, to lumby general store. Buy a load of willows as they always have 1K+ in stock, and just burn them)

 

If you'd rather burn the logs you have obtained the hardest part of firemaking is finding a nice spot to burn your logs.

 

 

 

 

 

Al kharid duel arena

 

 

 

 

 

 

fally

 

 

 

 

 

 

Port Phasmatys

 

 

You need to of done ghost's ahoy for this.

 

 

 

Varrock west

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seers

 

 

 

 

Happy burning![/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Fletching]Fletching

 

 

One of my favorite skills, I don't know why though. Anyway this is for you not about me.

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully you kept the logs from woodcutting. I told you to bring a knife to normal trees, so when you cut a full load of logs you could cut them into arrow shafts. Hold onto these and keep going until level 40, willow longs.

 

 

 

Cut-Fletch-Sell:

 

 

 

Go to catherby and just west of the dock are some willow trees, bring a knife.

 

 

 

-Cut a load of willow logs

 

-Fletch them into willow longs(u)

 

-Run to dock and sell your willow longs(u) 24 gp ea to trade charter.

 

-Run back to trees and repeat

 

-You'll need to make about 17k willows longs(u) (about 408k there!)

 

 

 

 

Alternatively

 

 

 

At level 40 you are capable of fletching willow longs (u), you can buy willow logs 20-30 each, and fletch them and sell them 40 gp each!, so instead of losing money you are making!

 

 

 

 

 

If you want faster xp but with a lower profit, Maple longs(u) are good for you 55+, simply buy the logs 70-80 each. Fletch them and sell them for 70-80 each!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ultimate

 

 

 

Yews are by far the best xp from here, easier to get than mage logs and more profit.

 

 

 

4 ways to approach:

 

 

 

Method 1: (I hate this way)

 

 

 

-Simply buy logs 280-300 each, and fletch into yew longs(U)

 

-Sell 280-300 or trade for more logs.

 

 

 

Method 2: (Don't really like this one either)

 

 

 

-Cut yew logs into longs(u)

 

-String with bowstrings

 

-Sell yew longs 580-600 each

 

 

 

Method 3:OMG i love this way.

 

 

 

-Buy yew longs(u) 280-300 each, or buy logs and trade for them.

 

-Buy bowstrings at seers, or lumby 150-180 each

 

-String like mad! (DO NOT DO THIS INSANELY TAKE A BREAK OR YOU WILL GET RSI [WRIST CRAMP])

 

=As you can string at least 2k an hour, you will get at least 100k xp and 200k cash. Trust me it's how i made 10 mil.

 

 

 

 

 

Method 4: (Slow and steady)

 

 

 

(Do this in seers)

 

-Cut your own logs

 

-Fletch them

 

-Pick flax and spin it

 

-String bows and sell

 

 

 

Lower level fletchers 40-55+

 

 

 

Fletching is the most common skill on members, so if you do not get 99, don't be discouraged. Sit up on your chair and wear that pixelian cape!

 

 

 

Note:Best place to fletch is castle wars as bank is one click![/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Cooking]Cooking

 

 

 

Cooking is a simple skill to get up but it can be costly. So the only way to get it up without loosing money is use the fish you have caught and best thing to do is avoid fire in rogues den as ranges give a much lowerchance of burning the food.

 

 

 

Catherby

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edgeville

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cooking gauntlets also will also help you cook more of your food.[/hide]

 

[hide=Crafting]

 

 

Crafting[/color]

 

 

 

To start crafting you will need to spend about less than 10k to get to level 15 crafting

 

 

 

-Go to lumby cow field and kill cows, and bring some cash, needle and thread

 

 

 

 

 

 

-When you get a full load of cow hide go to the tanner in al kharid and tan it into soft leather.

 

 

 

-Make leather gloves, and drop on way back to cows.

 

 

 

 

 

Now when you get level 15 it is time to go to seers village. There are two ways to approach flax at level 15+.

 

 

 

Method 1:

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Pick flax

 

-Walk to spinning wheel

 

-Spin flax into bowstrings and then bank

 

-Repeat!

 

 

 

Method 2:

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Buy flax 100 gp ea

 

-Withdraw flax from seers bank

 

-Walk to spinning wheel

 

-Spin your flax

 

-Bank and repeat

 

 

 

You can use these strings for fletching or sell 180 ea atleast on fletching forums.

 

 

 

Spinning is a good/cheap way to get craft levels and you can also make some money. Just make sure to sell for the highest price possible. You can have fletching forum up at same time, because sometimes people buy 200 gp each and be QUICK! Fletching forum is fast[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Slayer]

 

SLAYER

 

 

 

Slayer is a very simple skill. The only way i can think of getting it up without spending cash is to do tasks from burthorpe master, he gives simple tasks, and if you think the task will be hard ask him for another, or you could use the fish you've caught and cooked. Remember bury bones. Keep and herbs and seeds you get!

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=Runecrafting]Runecrafting

 

 

 

You must of done rune mysteries to do runecrafting.

 

 

 

Pretty simple skill, needs a tiny investment for the tiara to enter ruins. But it is one of the best money making skills when you get started.

 

 

 

To get started without spending cash is to get some free essence from world 99, or mine it yourself. Hopefully you'll have 30 mining for pure essence, mine the ess or collect however much you need. Go and make the runes you want.

 

Remeber runes over body need pure essence to be made.

 

 

 

Abyss

 

 

 

The infamous abyss, you may think how is it possible to make this costless without glories. Truth is no one can, well maybe Jagex can if they move abyss near bank. But there are two ways of keeping costs down.

 

 

 

Ancients

 

 

 

-Withdraw all essence (from edge bank) and runes for paddewwa teleport.

 

-Run, and tele into abyss

 

-Get into centre and go to your portal.

 

-Craft runes, and teleport to edge dungeon

 

-Walk a little south, go up ladder and walk to edge bank

 

-Repeat!

 

 

 

=Good method, no glories but you eat through law runes.

 

 

 

 

 

Glory/duel rings

 

 

 

-Equip ring of dueling

 

-Withdraw all essence

 

-Run, and tele into abyss

 

-Get into centre and go to your portal.

 

-Craft runes and tele to castle wars, bank your runes and withdraw glory and use it to tele to edge.

 

-Deposit glory and withdraw ess.

 

 

 

=This method is still quite fast, only about 10-20 seconds longer, and stops you losing a glory but these days glories can be easily replaced but pouches take a long time to get.

 

 

 

There is also another method similar to paddewwa, where you craft your runes, teleport to house and use mounted glory to tele to edge. I am not too sure about this method but if anyone knows, please post.

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=Smithing]

 

Smithing

 

 

 

An over looked skill, but who else is going to smith them ores? No, not doric the dwarf.

 

 

 

To start it is best to make bronze projectiles(Knives,dart tips[<-Tourist trap needed] arrow heads), smelt your tin and copper into bars and smith into projectiles till level 35, and hold onto what you have smithed. If you want you can sell the bronze bars 100-200 gp each, but there are few buyers.

 

 

 

Now that your level 35, do the dwarf cannon quest and get yourself a cannon mould. Two ways to approach level 35+.

 

 

 

Method 1:

 

Buy steel bars and then make into cannonballs.

 

-Buy 1000 steel bars =550-600gp each=

 

-Smelt into 4k cannonballs

 

-Sell 3.4k cannonballs 180 each and keep the rest for ranged!

 

 

 

Method 2:

 

Mine iron ore and twice as much coal.

 

-Smelt your iron and coal

 

-Then smelt the bars into cannonballs

 

-Keep all the cannonballs you deserve it, go kill some monsters in multi-combat areas.

 

 

 

 

 

Note: I told you to make projectiles for a reason, attach shafts and feathers to the arrow heads, and feathers to darts(Tourist trap needed) nothing needed for knives, and you have free ranged xp![/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Construction]

 

Construction

 

 

 

The cheapest way i have found of getting construction up is about spending less than 200k, i've tried.

 

 

 

To start from level one.

 

-Get yourself a games necklace

 

-Tele to barbarian outpost

 

-Just north of the agility arena are a few normal plank re spawns.

 

-There is a deposit box in the barbarian assault

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Get 40 iron bars, and make them into iron nails

 

-Make crude wooden chairs in your house till level 16

 

 

 

level 16

 

-Build a workshop for 10k

 

-It's time to spend about 100k =(

 

-Buy 260 oak logs, and make sure u have 78k

 

-Simply run back and forth from saw mill, making your logs into planks

 

 

 

 

-Make your planks into plumbing stands until level 33

 

 

 

level 33+

 

 

 

It is now time for free construction xp!

 

 

 

You must have level 10 mining for this.

 

 

 

Limestone

 

 

 

 

Simply bring a pick and a chisel, mine a full load of limestone and then bank it.

 

 

 

-When you have enough make limestone fireplaces in your house.[/hide]

[analysethis2]

Firemaking is much better at the fishing colony, swan song is required, so there's NO noobs in sight (lowest i've seen is a 78 there, he fluked it, i think), so there's noone to pester you or slow you down.

 

I have picture and video evidence that a certain rank one player firemakes there, too.

 

 

 

 

 

And for fletching, i think you may need a few pointers from a master for the guide. The second method is the best way to do it, because there is absolutely no market for longs (u), and they will never shift. I suggest you work in 5k increments, because bigger than this you get bored very quickly, and the investments you make will be large (the market can turn on a drop of a hat, and you can loose money through a dip in the market). Always keep a decent video on in another window while flecthing (legal of course, what do you take me for, a criminal? *cough cough*), and resise the screen. I find that this is essential to ensure you don't just give up, because no matter how strong willed you think you are, if you sit in silence for hours at a time you WILL consider giving up on the final stretch (90-99).

 

While stringing, work in pairs of 13, not 14, leave the last bow and string next to each other at the bottom of your inventory so they will not move , and click between the two. Other than the first click on the bow, always DOUBLE click (one to use the other item with it, and one to select it), as this easily doubles your output. When stringing, turn the sound OFF. I know this sounds strange, but you will find yourself subconciously slowing to the rythm of the stringing sounds, but these only sound every second or so, and you can go a LOT faster than that.

WOW! 10/10, this is amazing! *bookmarks webpage*

 

 

 

You've obviously put a lot of time and effort into this, thank you!

[Wachtwoord]

Horrible guide. It's full with loads of "I don't know that" and "can anyone tell me about it?". The point of a guide is that you do the research and post here it. Everything of it is totally undetailed and doesn't go any deeper then commonly common sence. Like your slayer topic, everybody knows that!

 

Some of the ideas are horrible too. "Harralander Tar", what a joke. At least make energy pots with them, those have at least some value. Getting planks at ba spawn or use limestone, rubbish. No matter how low your income is, it'll surely be better to cut and plank your own oaks, do I need to go on?

 

And if you really are that poor you need kill your own cows, at least kill them south of falador, way closer to a bank. And some people also just swap bowstring for flax. So if you're really poor and a low level, just pick 1K flax, string them and trade them for flax again.

This guide is for idiots, everyone else figured all of this out at lvl 4.

[Moonlapsed]

"Guilded altar

 

 

 

I am unsure of this method but it is meant to be better than ecto if anyone knoes please post."

 

 

 

Are you serious? Did you just pile some noob info up and call it a guide?

 

Did you bother to check for grammar and spelling errors?

 

The Gilded Altar (Not Guilded) is made through construction, it consists of two burners that when both lit give 350% exp for the bones used on them.

 

Its a faster method of training prayer, but the exp per bone is less.

[Owned_Nex]

This is just common info that anyone knows. You really should do more research before compliling a guide

[Ermy]

You have to realize i have provided the best method for cheapest levels, and in response to guild altar, i didn't do research into that as i am currently leaving it at 46, lower prayer = lower combat with 99 str

[aznmidget448]

For ranged, you can add that minotaurs are a good choice if you're using iron arrows because they drop a huge load of them. I'm getting a ton while training range.

 

 

 

The gilded altar may be faster but it costs so much to make one.

 

 

 

Another method (cheaper) for magic to 55 is to buy tons of body runes and earth runes and then use a water staff or water runes wither earth staff. Then equip (any) full metal armor and vambs (in order to get your magic bonus less than -61 or something like that) and keep casting curse on the same thing over and over again because you will always fail. The exp is the same if you fail or if you succeed in the cast so attacking the same opponent will save you time between switching to others.

 

Also, if you include runecrafting, world 66 laws (or was it 99) gets you free laws for unnoted pure ess. Then just equip air staff and cammy tele for the rest of your life. Of course alching yew/mage longs would be more profitable.

 

Or also for mage, you can go to the mage training arena (with a couple cosmics) and keep enchanting the high level gems. Then you can buy your cosmics back with the points you have earned from enchanting.

 

 

 

You put Agility and Thieving under one post thing.

 

 

 

There is actually a cheaper method to getting firemaking up. If you're chopping willows, sell them. DO NOT BURN THEM. Then head to Rimmington or any other general store close to a patch of willows (or that has many willow logs in it). Make sure your inventory has a tinderbox and cash in it. Then buy willow logs from the general store for half the price you sold your willows for. Nice way to save money if you ask me :

 

 

 

Same thing as fm for low level fletching...

 

 

 

A cheaper method for cooking is to head to karamja with a couple noted logs and a bunch of coins. Unnote one log (by buying and selling it in the karamja general store) and then buy the raw tuna from the store. Cook and sell. Although you lose a little money, you'll be saving compared to buying and selling lobs. Of course you could just cook the fish you catch. If you do this, I suggest the fishing guild and doing it all in one trip.

 

 

 

Bowstrings are probably best for crafting although an alternative is sitting in the corner of the banks saying "Free gem cutting". In my opinion, the free gem cutting is slower and I suggest bowstrings since you get money and xp.

 

 

 

For smithing, you can go with the multi stat raising idea. First, mine some pure ess (mining xp). Craft those into nats (rc xp). Mine coal and iron in the dwarven mines (more mining xp). Use superheat (magic and smithing xp). Then use the anvil to make steel plates (smithing xp). End by alching all the plates (more magic xp). Although this is slow money, you get a TON of xp. A lot of stats are required for this one though...

 

An alternative is starting a company. Buy iron and coal. Make the steel bars and either sell them or make the platebodies and alch. I'm not sure about the profit or loss in this one because I've never tried it.

 

 

 

For lower level construction (I did this for a nice amount of time. Slow levels but no money wasted and some extra exp.) mine clay (I think the bracelet allows you to mine wet clay. If you don't like that, then just go ahead and use other water sources to wetten your clay). Then run to your house and repeatedly build clay fireplaces until you run out. Of course this is a VERY SLOW process but it's good for people who are on a very tight budget.

 

 

 

Good guide non the less. These are just thoughts if you want to add them. If you don't, then it's fine with me. I have found these tips useful but not everyone will.

 

 

 

I rate 8/10 right now. There are better ways out there but this is a very good start.

[Sorry]

Those are not the best ways to train the skills.

 

 

 

I dont know about the member skills buy anyway:

 

 

 

Melee: Giants spiders, use strenght potions and kebabs for food.

 

Ice giants in wild if combined with prayer.

 

Ranged: Lessers or ice giants (when combined with prayer) with steel arrows.

 

Prayer: Killing ice giants (combined with ranged or melee)

 

Magic: Alching green bodies.

 

Cooking: Banked lobsters

 

Fishing: Fly fishing

 

Woodcutting: powercutting willows

 

Firemaking: banked yew logs or banked willows (depends on your income)

 

Mining: powermining iron

 

Runecrafting: aircrafting with air runners

 

Smithing: Steel smelting or iron plates (depends on your income)

 

Crafting: I dont know, most likely making HL bodies.

[jondea0]

much of your info isnt the best, do some homework. ill come and rate it when that happens

[matthew_t_d]

In your herblore section, an easier way to get tar is to kill cave slimes. They do however poison you. But believe me it is ALOT faster than picking it up at lumb swamp.

 

Other than that nice guide

I agree completely.

 

 

 

Chop regular trees until 15.

 

Chop Oaks until 30.

 

After 30 do whatever you want...if someone could please tell me a good method I would... NO!

 

 

 

Also, you have more pictures than you have information. Pictures are always nice but your guide can't completely consist of pictures.

oh look at me i wont try to write a guide and help the people that need it, so i'll abuse someone that already has, if you have negative comments keep them to yourself you lazy people, blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa you want to me to go on?

Actually, I'm writing a guide right now on word. It's still not finished. Just like yours. :roll:

[equal_ibrium]

nice guide ermin :) enjoyed reading it and got some interesting ideas. Dont listen to people who talk negatively about your guide.

 

 

 

And to those people, theres a difference between constructive criticism and flaming. You should learn it. :roll:

 

 

 

-Equal

[gein6]

as of now i give you 8/10 i found a few things that could be added.

 

 

 

Prayer: There are the hill giants in the little house north-west of varrok. The ectofuntus is only 20xp better than a gilded altar with 2 burners light but, the altar is much faster.

 

 

 

Agility: There is the wilderness course its over 500xp per a lap and it quick. Only problem is the pkers.

 

 

 

Thieving: There is a master farmer just north of adrouge. Close to the bank and you can go thieve 10 or so cakes and then go steal from the farmer.

 

 

 

Woodcutting: There are 3 willow trees close to catherby bank. Not that many people go there.

 

 

 

Cooking: Rouge den all the way. Bank at times isn't even 1 step from the fire and the fire never goes out.

 

 

 

Rune crafting: If you do enlightened journey quest you have access to the hot air balloons. Good if you don't want to use the abyss because of pkers. Quest to do is easy.

[Mongo]

Do you even tell people what it best to cook or just say it costs a lot? Honestly you need to do research and even if you aren't training your you have it in your guide... so get information. 2/10 tbh

[lavaownz]

not a great guide, it seems to me you basically went, looked up other guides or simply took a theory, and then posted it. You never tried most of this stuff, and you should at least include xp per hour for these plces. And honestly, its extreamly rare to find a bird nest, and most of the time they dont have good seeds (like arcorns). Most of the things are obvious, I just dont like this guide

[nutter1988]

Prob missing something really obvious, but wots so great about the last pick?

i love the con "free part" seeing as i just got 33 con =p

[211cole]

your guide is pretty awesome, 1 thing though.

 

 

 

i find an easy way to raise ur firemaking if you didn't keep ur wood from wood cutting ( and u dont wanna buy willows 30 each ) is to go to either lumbridge or varroc general stores on f2p worlds. there is ussaly about 10-30k willows in stock selling for 3 gp each, buy a full inventory ( 26 willows, you have a tinderbox and your cash :wink: ), then just light them and repeat, you can spend at least 30k gp on 10k worth of willows and xp.

I have to agree. This guide isn't well written and is a broad overview. I can go to tip.it's main guides for this information; it isn't indepth at all.
