englandman66 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 If I pick flax and spin for my crafting level. Sell. Buy Runes. Train Mage. Get level 55. Then pick flax spin for crafting attach for fletching. Get level to make yew longs. Alch. Rinse And Repeat. I spent 140k to buy runes in 1 and a half hours my crafting level when up 10 levels and I mage 144k. In only 25 runs i had all my flax 25 runs to the wheel all my bowstrings. Then I sold them. I am almost level 55 mage. My overall summary.. Great Strategy.

englandman66 Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 i was gunna string so i could get my level up to do yews... NEW TIPIT ACCOUNT-KNOTCH_BLADEClick For Bloggeh [Mage 55/55][Defence 26/40] Crafting[32/40] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 It would be a better use of your time an money to just fletch willow logs into willow longbows (u) until 70 fletching. When stringing, as I said, make sure it is yew longs or greater than you are stringing.

qeltar Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Picking flax and spinning strings is a waste of time, and time is money. I certainly wouldn't bother doing that unless you like the satisfaction of doing everything yourself. ~q Qeltar, aka Charles KozierokWebmaster, RuneScoop - Premium RuneScape Information for Expert Players -- Now Free!Featuring the Ultimate Guide to Dungeoneering -- everything you need to know to get the most of the new skill!

T. Skill Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 It's a very good idea. Because although it'll take quite a bit of work, you will make a decent profit and gain a lot of mage experience as well. Pirate Rosetta stone. Learn a language while you scape.Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being self suffiecient is alright but you can make more money if u buy the flax and then spin it. It's xp vs. Money kinda thing.

englandman66 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 How would i earn more money like if i bought the flax i would have more time to spin it? and not waste any picking? i guess that could work i may try that later this week. i have my goals set up perfectly mage for alch mining for arrowheads knifes smithing for above wc/fletch to alch crafting for range armour range for ranging melee skills thats just the basis any ideas on changing my goals to make my self sufficientcy easier?

mujtaba Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 i would do the quest that unlock the kingdom royal trouble and the one before or after that. trust me it is a good way to make money. you pay 40 gp per flax and i dunno how much bs are right now but it could be well worth it. also with 10 workers on flax and 5 on maples you would get logs for fletching for your yew long goal. you also get seeds which you can sell to make any cash wasted back (most of the time). the down side is you should keep approval rating at 100% and then have atleast 750k cash in the coffers daily. but it is your choice after all.

englandman66 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 do you need to put in 750k daily or can it stay there. cuz 750k daily is a large sum of money NEW TIPIT ACCOUNT-KNOTCH_BLADEClick For Bloggeh [Mage 55/55][Defence 26/40] Crafting[32/40] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 no i dont mean put in 750k daily. just keep the total cash limit above 750k and they only use 75k per day (max) so if you want you can put 1 mill in and come back like 4 days later and you will have lots of stuff ready to fletch/spin. but i would suggest returning everyday to keep approval rating at 100% but you should check out the guide on the tip.it website. it explains things moderately well...

englandman66 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 will i profit from this? like say i put in a mil and come back 4 days later will all the flax once spun and sold 200-220 ea give me a profit?

meol Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yep, each flax costs around 41 gp if you keep the approval rating at 100%. This signature is intentionally left blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
