XP or Money

[007freak]

Ok, I know I am not an active poster at all on these forums, although I do read most new topics.

 

 

 

Now I have noticed a lot of people asking for help on the "fastest" way to gain xp in stats. I really don't understand this.

 

 

 

Why do so many people just want there stats high. I mean ya, its nice. But I would much rather have my stats pretty high and be rich. Now yes, i do agree some stats the fastest way may be the best way to make money, or it still makes some money.

 

 

 

I personally always go the route that makes the most money, even if it means taking a bit longer. And if there is no way to make money in the stat, I choose the way that will hit my bank the least. And if it is a very profitable skill then I might buy the stuff i need.

 

 

 

 

 

So now my question to all that read this and have an opinion. Which do you prefer when taking up stats, the fastest route (normally less money), or the slower route (normally a lot more money)?

[Numer0_un0]

Fastest usually, or second fastest, as I have about 11m in my bank.

 

 

 

For cons, oaks. I'm not rich enough to train my cons with mahog. :

[007freak]

so, what do you like take all your stats up and then how do you make more money to take your stats up more, because you must eat through money rather quickly?

[goldbaloney]

since im always broke...i always take the most money-making way *or almost always).

 

 

 

For example, if i want 53 hunter and im 46 atm, ill hunt kebbits for [bleep]es so i can make bolts for my hunter crossbow. if i train theiving i usually theive bloods from the chest or chaos from the paladins (when i can get it)

 

 

 

So basically i dont go for speed, and im proud of it.

[007freak]

i don't either, and most the time people ask me how I have so much money or why i spend so much money on my house. Its because I made a lot of money through doing stats. Thats how I am able to spend 13m on my house and not flinch.

I'm only f2p, but I prefer to balance it a bit. I have my goals, like getting all 99's in my stats, but that is a ways off yet. So getting xp as quickly and efficiently as possible, is a must for me. But at the same time, I also want to one day own some kind of rare, so making money at the same time is a must. If you know of anyways to do both, in f2p, I'm all ears...

 

 

 

So for me, it all depends on the skill I'm training I guess at the time. But I'm not in it to just accomplish stats or money. I'm in it for fun as well.

To me, the only use of money is to increase the speed of raising my stats.

 

 

 

I work out the most cost effective way of raising my stats and use my money to that end.

[Lunar_Drifter]

I go with the middle route. I like to train one skill so that it either is free, makes me money, pays into another skill, or any combination of those.

 

 

 

For example: I mined 7.4k Iron ores for 60 Mining.

 

 

 

I collected all my own rubies from mining, randoms, and thieving wall safes for the Rings of Forging.

 

 

 

I smelted all those ores into iron bars.

 

 

 

Then, I made 35k Iron knives with all those bars.

 

 

 

And finally, those can be used for ranging later on. :D

 

 

 

Self sufficiency is the key to success!

most the time the best way to make money is not at a really high lvl examples:

 

 

 

Rcing - nats/deaths

 

Smithing - iron ore into iron bars

 

crafting - bowstrings

[Sithlord123]

I would like both!

[Marvel Titan]

i make money and then use on skills like most people.

[007freak]

i do too, but i always do the way with the most money, so i am constantly making money and increasing how wealthy I am, and as I gain more money I am able to buy better and better items.

but higher lvls = better speed

 

 

 

esp in fish wc and mine

 

 

 

also lvl 91 - double nats

[the_drunk_dude]

xp>money

 

 

 

When your higher skilled you make more money, so it works out.

[salim123]

what is reasonable at my level and cash but usally i take the middle route

[Master_Smither]

I like to make money or break even personally.

 

 

 

I'm doing c balsl to 99 smithign which will make me around 100M.

 

 

 

So yes i don't wanna lose moeny but it's good offaly slow

[Emp75]

I usually try to find ways i still make profit or break even, even tho i haev 90m.. i hate losing cash :P

[Von_Goon]

I like to have a nice pile of gp sitting in my bank, however when skill training I prefer to spend it rather than take other tedious routes to get my stats higher.

[Lenticular_J]

I woulod prefer experience, as at extremely high levels, you become completely (well, almost) self-sufficient. 99 fishing and cooking? No more buying food. 99 farming and Herblore? Hello, plenty of potions. Etc, etc. :)

[youknowwho]

Hmmmmmm...this is an interesting topic, id have to say i usually do the fastest way if i dont lose much cash and the slow way if i do lose alot of cash.

[greenito0]

XP .. of course..

[Alex2828]

I'm crafting airs world 16 atm. I get great XP but lose a tiny bit of money. The higher it gets though the more money i can make from rc. so yeh that's my theory :P.

[Fairness]

When I really want to train a skill, I do it the fast way but if I need money, I don't want to train a skill.
