Guide to Faster Flax than Seers!

Featured Replies

Good guide. When I was p2p on my main, I never noticed the flax in Gnome Stronghold. 9/10

So you're actually suggesting JaGex implements something into the game which for several years have been trying to stop?... :XD:

A good spot to make flax into bowstring is the Fremmenik Island of Neitiznot. There is a spinning wheel a few clicks away from the bank there.

Thanks, but that's not really a part in my guide. :D

Hmm, Ive never really thought about picking at the Gnome Stronghold too much, always seems farther away to me, but I guess I've been thinking of the other bank. I've got about 2k flax to spin I spoze I could get some average times for the Neitzot wheel and the Lumbridge wheel while I'm at it.

i tried the flax at gnomes awhile ago but just couldnt get into it because its so spread out. maybe ill get back into it.

Say what you mean and mean what you say because those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter.

Excellent guide, you proved my wrong when I thought flax picking would only require a few paragraphs. I love the pictures and I love the information, it's always nice to see a guide like this. :)

By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

It seems that no one has metioned this...But, Lunar Isle? I know the flax is a bit of a distance shorter than Seers. And you can cut this down with the Lunar Isle teleport too. Have't actually tried it myself, but there is a fair amount there, and it is reletivley close to the bank. The only down side is the Squahs, which, are so slow, that they shouldn't be a problem, especially with Dragon Hide armour.

You should add a section noting that it's possible to cut wood, pick flax, fletch and string bows, and alch them all in Gnome Stronghold.

 

 

 

This is a flax guide and the only part not mentioned is the wood and alching. That part is something people should just realize if they are ready for real fletching.

Yeah, but along with a high(ish) level quest required, those Squahs are annoying and with the flax flowers not concentrated, that spot is ineffective. Plus, between the gliders and spirit trees, Grand Tree is very easy to get to.

98% of rs players have attempted a scam. If your one of the 2% who havent, copy this into your sig..

heh like it and all just wish i found this thread earlier because i found all this junk out by myself lol..... it stinks you have to edit part of your guide because of the rs update with the bow stringing. as a fletcher i cant complain because my wrist is thanking me.

 

 

 

ALSO ADDITION: lumby cast 2nd floor is a great place to spin flax into bowstrings. the bank is upstares and you can have run on the entire time and not run out of energy due to the commute to and from. you lose less than 20% of your energy and its all regained by the time it takes to spin the flax.

 

 

 

theres barely any one at the elf place because you have to do regicide to go there ::' not really a bad thing you put that in the guide ::'

With everyone telling me about spinning and such, I may just add it it just to keep them quiet. =P

 

But, the best place to spin is Neitznot, from the Fremmy Isles quest. In low detail you can get between bank and spinning wheel in 1 click, and the bank is a left-click chest bank.

Back in december-January 06 (or was it 05? I know it was the year that they put out scarfs and hats for aholiday rewards). I made 5mil from picking and selling flax in Lyeta. I had 2 choices of what to do with the money, full dharocks or a santa hat (yes they were that cheap back then). I decided to get full dharoks. :lol:

 

 

 

OT: Its nice to see that the secret on this is finally out. My whole time picking flax, the only other people getting it were getting it for personal use, not profit. (Yes, despite the fact that my questing skills were great back then, in the money making department I was a newb)

I didn't see it either until several people told me it existed. Just walk a few steps away from the bank and you'll see it. =P

i dont know if this has been sugjested for your guide but if you can pick the flax in the elf city then after your done picking as much as you want to pick just go use the lumbrige spinning wheel :)

Yes, but this guide isn't about spinning. >.<

 

I think I'm going to add it shortly because everyone seems to want it, but Lumbridge is a horrid place to spin. Gnome Stronghold is better for that too, and Neitznot (spelling?) is king town of spinning.

hawt guide, lots of useful info, however, i dont fletch haha

Absolute fastest way:

 

Pick flax in Lleyta. Spin flax in Lumbridge.

Wrong. If I was a jerk I'd put a "fail" macro here.

 

Lleyta is fastest for picking, but requires some hard quests to get to. If you read my guide you'd see that I mentioned Lleyta and the other places that everyone can use.

 

Lumbridge is ungodly slow for spinning though. Neitznot (spelling?) is by far the fastest place to spin. In low detail it's one click to wheel and one click bank.

Nice guide ;)

 

 

 

Gnome place seems like there is too much walking/running, even though it saves time.. its too much clicking.. :(

 

 

 

Letvia seems perfect :o

Wrong, always use Neitznot flax spinning. I'd recommend doing that quest just for that little bonus there. :wink:
