A little bit about myself/RULES

Ok, this is the first official page of my guide. I'm spaderdabomb (obvoiusly) and please call me spader. I've been playing runescape almost 3 years now and I'm always looking for the best and newest ways to raise lvls quickly. That is why I created this guide. Not only has it taught me an incredible amount about runescape and lvling, it's taught me how to keep my patience, and help other people. My current total lvl is 1823 and always rising. I play around 2 hours a day, but in the summer a bit more, so I need to know all the best methods to get 99 skills. If you ever want to know what I'm doing, it's always going to be posted here:

CURRENTLY: Smithing and crafting (smithing to 85, crafting (trying) to 99) w 132, edge bank.

(my stats august 28th, 2007)

Now some rules.

1) No spamming/flaming.

2) If you don't like the guide, tell me how to improve.

3) All Jagex rules apply.

Simple rules, shouldn't be hard at all to follow.

Now I'm going to have a kind of "format" for every post. This is how it will kinda go.

1) I'll give you a scale of 1-10 on how familiar I am with this skill and what lvl I am in it

2) What you need for this skill

3) What you should do from lvl 1-99 (# 1 Method equals best method, # 2 method etc.....equal alternative method

4) How long this skill will take on a scale from 1-10

5) How effective this skill is in your daily runescape life.

6) Common Misconceptions about training this skill (only on a few of the mini-guides)

I'm going to write a guide for each skill EXTREMELY THOROUGHLY. I'll try to do the best that I can on getting you the proper information on each and every skill!

I hope you find this guide helpful.

DONATIONS

Thank you all so much for the donations. They have really kept me going and I never thought there was this many nice people willing to donate to me! I'm not asking for money in anyway and will never hint at it. I made a list so I could appreciate all of the great people out there willing to help me out.

Tips when getting 99 in a skill

Ok everybody, this page is pretty important if you want to manage your time best in runescape while getting 99 in a skill.

***First tip***

One of the most important tips I have for you when achieving 99 in a stat is to stick with it. Most people probably don't realize how much time they waste when switching between skills. I like to go at least one to two weeks straight at a skill before switching to another.

If you think about it, it can take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes switching between a skill.....and now think about how many times you've switched between skills. Over 100 probably right? That's nearly 20 hours you wasted.

***Second tip***

While you are training try not to get side tracked with pk visits, mini-games that waste time and just not paying attention good enough. Tons of time is wasted talking to friends while you should still be picking those pockets of a very unfortunate....thing.....well whatever it may be your pickpocketing you are wasting your time. So limit your pk trips, mini-game trips and chatting frenzies!

***Third tip***

Make whatever you are doing as fun as possible. It's extremely helpful. Going to guilds such as World 22 shilo fishing guild and other player made guilds rack in exp and you don't even know it. You get into a rythm and don't even notice it. One time I did 1500 high alcings while just listening to other people talk, laughing at what they said. Suddenly an hour and half later I realized I had made great time on my perilous journey of high alcing 10k yew longs.....

Those are some of the main tips.....another one is read my guide....It will help you I guarantee !

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 AGILITY

Alright the first skill of my guide. I hope you enjoy it a lot and rate me.

***FAMILIARITY***

Ok on a scale of 1-10 on how familiar I am, it's probably a 10. My lvl is pretty good I would say coming in at 81.

***ITEMS***

Boots of lightness, Spottier cape, Penance gloves, Agility Potions, Energy Potions, Food (cakes), and other various items I will mention.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-49:

Ok, for all of these starting level, use a toy mouse, or toy mice. The more the better. They're only 5k on the streets and if you want to make one you need 33 construction. You get 15 exp for catching OR missing these mice. If you catch them, you have to release them (which gives 0 exp) which means the lower your agility level, the BETTER EXP YOU GET!

A great place to train with these is at the Brimhaven Agility arena. Here, you can lower your agility to 1 by trying to pass through the poison darts. THERE IS A 1 SPACE ROOM. It's in the Taverley area, southeast building of the herblore shop. That should get you amazing exp.

EXP GAIN: 20k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 1-25:

You can go the simple way by making your way to the Tree Gnome Stronghold and hop around that agility course. Bring any weight decreasing items and food is not needed at this course seeing you cannot fall. I REALLY RECOMMEND THE MOUSE WAY THOUGH BECAUSE IT'S NEARLY 4X FASTER!

(routes to gnome agility course, marked from ardougne and cammy tele spots, red outlings are big cities, blue outling is agility course)

EXP GAIN: 7k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 25-43:

For these levels, go to the Skullball Course. I got a lot of questions where this was in my last guide so here is where it is.

It's in about the middle of the Mort Myre swamp and is marked which an agility sign on the runescape map. You will need to have done Priest in Peril and also Creature of Fenkenstein because you'll need your Ring of Charos to access it. Here's a map to help you out even more.

Skullball is fairly fast exp once you get the hang of it, but the mouse way is still nearly 2 and a half times faster so I still really recommend that way.

EXP GAIN: 15k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 43-49:

Go to the Brimhaven mini-game arena. At this level you begin racking up tickets quickly. Get 100 tickets and make sure you do obstacles while you wait for the arrows to change dispensers. If you do that you should have 49 agility after 100 tickets. Make sure to get Karamaja gloves 2 by completing the medium achievement diary on Karamaja. You get more exp per ticket if you do this.

(follow black routes from ardougne ship, or the port sarim ship)

EXP GAIN: 15-25k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 49-67:

You should go to the wilderness course for these lvls. And you're thinking "what lvl 49? You need 52 to get into that course!"

But I have a trick up my sleeve.

Grab an agility pot and head up to the Wilderness Course. I'd also recommend a Dds to make yourself a threat so people don't always kill you. The Wilderness Course is definitely not as dangerous as you may think. If you have a Dds people will think twice about attacking you and also it's very uncrowded so if you feel uneasy about another player, simply switch worlds and I guarentee you'll find an empty world. This course will earn you nearly 32k per hour. Also bring an anti-poison pot and cakes.

(use the ardougne tele to wilderness lever, shown below)

EXP GAIN: 32k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 67-99:

At 67, ape atoll course becomes better than the wilderness. At lvl 75 agility, you will stop failing this course. Once you're lvl 75, using Super energy pots, you can rack in 48k exp per hour! You must do Monkey Madness and have a ninja gree gree though to do this course.

EXP GAIN: 48k per hour (w/ super energies)

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -10k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 70-99:

Dorgesh-Kaan is actually better than ape atoll, but there's a reason it's the number 2 method instead of number 1.

It's a very boring, frustrating and stressful course......although you can't call ape atoll fun either lol. But you get my point it's much more annoying than ape atoll. You also will need to have more super energies potions than ape atoll, making it more expensive and also forcing you to bank more often. Another thing is you can fall all the way through lvl 99 on this course!

I timed this course with my 81 agility for an hour and was able to come up with 50k exp....and I was very efficient. I've gotten about 48k at ape atoll.......so I guess you can decide which one to do lol......seems obvious you should do ape atoll to me though.

EXP GAIN: 50k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -20k

***SPEED***

This skill is probably a 4 on speed with fastest exp possible around 50k per hour.

***USES***

Recharges energy faster, lets you use shortcuts, big quest helper, and you can wield crystal bows.

***COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS***

The barbarian outpost course is used a lot but is a waste of time, and it's slower then Skullball.

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 ATTACK/DEFENSE/STRENGTH/HP

***FAMILIARITY***

On a scale of 1-10 I'm about an 8 on this, seeing my combat is not the best (lvl 101). My attack is 81, Strength is 80, Defense is 84, and Hp is 85.

***ITEMS***

There are tons of items and I cannot list them all. What I would recommend is buying the best armor you can afford and the best weapon you can afford (make sure it is a skimmy) unless you can a wield a whip. A whip is a must. I will have a "Perfect Pc Outfit" later in the guide.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-15:

I think cows would be best to start out, seeing that they drop nearly 150 coins each time you kill them because of their cowhides. They also have good hp for their lvl. Other things you can kill include goblins and "mans."

EXP GAIN: varies

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 15k per hour

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 15-40:

If you are f2p, kill hill giants. If you are p2p, I really suggest killing rock crabs. Rock crabs are only lvl 13, but have 50 hp and are extremely good for training on. Rock crabs are located slightly northeast of the Fremmenik Province (north of Seer's Village)

EXP GAIN: varies

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 5-20k (if you bank big bones)

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 40-70:

For the quickest exp, I suggest experiments. They have 100 hp and extremely low def, so they are great to kill. They are located below gravestone east of Dr. Fenkenstein's Castle. Just push on it I believe to get in.

EXP GAIN: 40-80k

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 40-70:

Baby blue dragons aren't the greatest, although they will give you a lot of prayer exp, seeing that each of their bones gives you 30 exp. These are located in the Taverley dungeon and you'll need the dusty key. To obtain the dusty key, you must first get to the chaos dwarfs, then continue on straight until hopefully you find some jail cells. Then kill a jailor, pick up the key and unlock the jail cell. Talk to the man inside and you'll obtain a dusty key.

EXP GAIN: 20-35k

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 3 ~ |

Lvls 60-99:

If you just wanna own monsters and they don't happen to be in previous methods, here is a big fat list I'm going to compile for you (it will slowly grow I promise). All of these monsters are great exp/money per hour off drops. You'll need to be at least lvl 80+ combat to do most of these though.

~~MONSTER LIST~~

Lesser demons

Ogres

Trolls (near fremmenik province)

Bloodvelds

Fire giants

Greater Demons

Daggonoths

Dust Devils

Abyssal demons (only if high lvled)

Monkeys Guards (near prayer alter in ape atoll)

Ankou (with salve ammy)

Those are just among some of them. I'm sure other players will tell me some more (and please do I need help on them). Look ahead for the best ones to kill and how to kill them properly.

All of these monsters will drop sufficient items and depending on your lvls, 40k-70k exp per hour. I recommend potting up because it's really worth it, even if it's a normal set instead of a super set.

Ok, this is a continuation of the monsters list. There are 4 monsters I believe that need discussing, and I'll talk about them in order from what I've found to be the best to worst exp (although they're all great exp)

MONKEY ZOMBIES

Teleport to ape atoll, go down the stairs next to you. If you don't tele to ape atoll, go into the temple with the lvl 169 monkey guards and the prayer alter. Make sure you have full prayer and are prepared to fight. There's a trapdoor on the eastern side of the room, go down it and you'll see some lvl 129 monkey zombies. YOU MUST HAVE A SALVE AMMULET! This makes you hit insanely hard on them. Also, protect from melee is a must. To recharge it, just go up the stairs to the prayer alter nearby.

EXP GAIN: 70-100k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0 (unless using super sets)

MONKEY GUARDS

Also located in the temple in ape atoll, right next to the prayer alter. Using a whip with prayers is great exp, or using Dhoraks with low hp (and pro from melee and prayers), dhoraks being preferred here. You can just stay with 1-2 hp with dhoraks and own these things like crazy.

EXP GAIN: 60-90k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0 (unless using super sets)

ANKOU

These are located in the Stonghold of Security (in Barbarian Village). You must go a ways in to reach them, and I only recommend this method to high lvled players with full guthans. Once you reach them, make sure you have a salve ammy on and kill them. Not too complicated

EXP GAIN: 50-80k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 20kish (from drops)

BANDITS

Another great method. These are in the desert (bandit camp) and you'll need some type of saradomin clothing to get the bandits to auto attack you. These are great if you want to surf the forums or relax a bit. You'll need full guthans as well to do these.

EXP GAIN: 40-70k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0 (unless using super sets)

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls ?-99:

If you're a person who is going after total lvl like me, then this is the best option. Just simply do slayer. You get good creatures that give good drops, and also you get slayer lvls. Remember, you'll have all 99 in melee and range if you do slayer to 99, so you'll never run out of things to do by this method.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 3 ~ |

Lvls 80-99: (100 combat+)

Yep you guessed it.....cows.....no just kidding pest control.

Alrighty I promised you a perfect pest control meelee set and here it is.

Rune defender

Fighter Torso

Barrow's Gloves

Berserker Ring

Bandos Legs

Dragon Boots

Berzerker Helm/Fremenik Royal Helm (better def/prayer bonus)

Abyssal Whip

Fury Amulet

Fire Cape

And there it is. You are destined to get all of those items to hit the hardest, fastest and best.

Now, obviously you all are aware of the new update, and the bad news is in. The new pest control now is nearly 2x as slow as it used to be. I know, disheartening and unfair, but that's just the way it is. Pest control really isn't effective anymore. It's a fun good game, but honestly there's tons better ways to get great exp. There's not as much of a need for a clan, now that you got those boats dividing you, but sometimes clans can still be very effective. Anyways, all in all, pest control is just a mini-game now, not the best source of exp.

EXP GAIN: 40-60k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 10-30k per hour

***SPEED***

These skills are fairly quick, there's ways to earn a good 80k per hour in them if you use super sets and such. Probably a 6 on speed.

***USES***

There are unlimited uses with these skills....from boasting rights to slaying the hardest demons. I won't name the uses, most of them are known.

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 CONSTRUCTION

***FAMILIARITY***

I am not the most familiar but definitely familiar with construction, probably a 9 on a scale of 1-10 and I'm lvl 70

***ITEMS***

You will be needing a saw, regular planks, oak planks, possibly other planks, nails, a hammer.......and a (censor)load of money.

***LVL 1-99***

(ALL OF THESE OPTIONS ARE # 1 METHOD SEEING THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES)

Please note: It takes 146 planks to get to the point where you can use oak planks to lvl, bit make 160 just in case you mess up or something.

Lvls 1-9:

Make chairs out of regular planks (for these first lvls when using regular planks, make your own becaues it's too hard to buy from other players)

Lvls 9-19:

Larders require regular planks but take up 8 planks at a time, so obviously these are faster then chairs...

Lvls 19-22:

Ok now you can begin making oak things. On all oak things you get 60 exp per oak plank no matter how many you use at a time. Make oak chairs for these levels and I really suggest you buy your planks (unless you can't find a way to make more then 100k per hour because that's what you save when you make your own planks)

Lvls 23-31:

Start making oak tables at this lvl, seeing that it's faster exp because you use more planks at a time.

Lvls 31-33:

Make some carved oak tables. These are faster because they take 6 planks instead of normal oak tables which take 4.

Lvls 33-73:

Ok oak larders are great exp, and the best till dungeon doors. You can get that 170k exp per hour IF you bring noted oak planks with you to your house. Use your oak planks on the butler your have (get whatever the best you can get it), and use them on him. You will then skip all the dialogue and the demon butler will bring you oak planks much much faster than just talking to him about it. Bring all of your oak planks noted.

EXP GAIN: 170k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -1140k per hour

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 74-99:

Once again remember to bring all of your oak planks noted to skip the dialogue with your butler to increase your potential exp per hour.

There's another method you should use once you hit 73. Dungeon doors require 10 oak planks to make them, and a common mistake people think is that these are slower because you can make 3 oak larders (24 oak planks used) vs. only 20 per inventory on dungeon doors. This is a mistake because if you are using a DEMON BUTLER (must use) there is no waiting time in between making them and collecting planks from the demon butler. It's been said this can get up to 50k more exp per hour.

EXP GAIN: 200k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -1350k

***SPEED***

This skill is probably a 9 on a scale of 1-10 although it's extremely expensive which is why it is hard.

***USES***

Construction can be used to have house parties and HAS ONE OF THE BEST USES IN THE GAME which is the prayer alter and incense burners. The best alter will give you 3.5x the prayer xp for bones which is by far the best way to get prayer exp in the game.

***COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS***

Making your own planks is a common thing to do and people don't realize they are only saving around 100k per hour. You can make your own planks if you can't make 100k per hour but most people can do that.

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 COOKING

***FAMILIARITY***

I'd say am very familiar with cooking, and probably a 9 on a scale of 1-10. My cooking lvl is 88.

***ITEMS***

You'll need lots of fishies, cooking gauntlets and maybe a tinderbox and an axe.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-40:

For these first lvls, I really suggest fishing your own fish and cooking it. It doesn't take that long and will also get you good fishing exp. This is what I did.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 1-40:

You could just buy your fish from other people. This would be the only other known method to me and I don't really recommend it, but it could be faster if you don't want to train your fishing at all.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvl 40-86:

Ok for these lvls if you aren't just going to fish your own food to cook (Which I still recommend if you want but it's not as necessary as before) I'd recommend buying lobsters. Lobsters are great and recommend all the way through lvl 86. Once you hit 86 you hardly ever burn monkfish (stop at 88 cooking gaunts have no effect on these).

With cooking gauntlets (receive from family crest quest) you will stop burning lobsters at lvl 68 cooking I believe.

EXP GAIN: 155k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -40k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 40-?:

You may burn a lot of lobsters at lvl 40, so It's always a great option to buy some salmon or trout and cook them for a bit (maybe around lvl 55)

An easy way to get raw salmon/trout it go to a f2p world and usually in Varrock bank somebody will be selling A LOT!

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 86-90/94:

Monkfish are the best way to go here. At 88 you stop burning them (even without cooking gauntlets) and on these you lose hardly anything with these (if you're lucky you can buy/sell for same price). At 90 cooking, you don't burn many sharks anymore, so that'd be the most time efficient way, but you'll lose a little less money if you use monks till 94.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 90/94-99:

Now I'd definitely go with sharks until lvl 99. You'll end up losing a little bit of money because they sell more raw then cooked, but it's still extremely fast and you won't burn any at lvl 94 with cooking guantlets. I suggest it at lvl 90 also, although you'll burn some resulting in some money loss, but they are way faster then other methods such as monkfish and lobsters so the time really makes up for the loss in money.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!

If you ever cook mass amount of fish, the best place to cook them is definitely the rogues den (under the bar in Burtherope) There is an everlasting fire literally 2 spaces from the bank and it's obviously the best place to cook food.

EXP GAIN: 260k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -120k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls ?-99:

Any other fish you want to cook are fine. Monkfish are fairly good because you don't lose nearly as much money, but that'd be the only reason not to do sharks.

***SPEED***

Cooking comes in as a definite 10 being the fastest skill there is in the game. There's a reason why nearly 10 people have 200 mil exp in it. You can get an easy 4k exp per minute cooking sharks.

***USES***

Without cooking I don't know what runescape would be. No food, no mass killing. Very important skill and you can earn some money from fishing/cooking food.

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 CRAFTING

***FAMILIARITY***

I am probably an 9 on familiarity on a scale of 1-10. My lvl is 91.

***ITEMS***

There are too many items to name although some main ones are flax, thread, needle and many types of hides.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-10:

I would suggest using those cowhides you got from getting your first few combat lvls with (if not just go slice some more of those poor cows). Go to Al-Kharid and tan them with the tanner just north of furnace. You'll need around 100 cowhides to get to lvl 10 crafting.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 10-57:

Start spinning some flax. You can buy it or pick it yourself. If you are ever spinning more then 500 at a time, make sure to use the spinner in the Lumbridge castle (second floor). It is much faster then the one in Seer'* village.

EXP GAIN: 20k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 130k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 10-57:

You could continue on with cowhides. It's what I did seeing I wasn't a member yet and it worked fine. It's more time consuming and more expensive if you buy your hides, although it's still a great way to get exp.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 3 ~ |

Lvls 10-57:

Later in my smithing guide you'll read about using gold ores to make gold bars and such. If you do that you can also use all those gold bars you'll have no other use for and use them for crafting.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 57-66/99:

Alright, there are so many options for crafting, but all so hard. This one to me seems best though. Getting green d hides (if you want to save some money, but lose a lil time, tan them yourself) and crafting them into whatever you can. Craft vambraces until green bodies. Green bodies you get quickest exp and saves the most money.

Since I'm becoming a pro at this with my attempt at 99, I'm going to discuss some other things. If you can make around 400k+ per hour somehow, I would recommend not tanning them yourself and buying leathers. Otherwise, buy hides and tan yourself. Green d leathers you can buy for 1.85k ea easily, and using this method you'll lose almost 10 mil more than doing blue d hide bodies and it'll take you longer to get the lvls.

But let me tell you, being able to buy easily has never been so forgiving. I did blue hides to where I am, and boy is it stressful and tough to get ahold of them. So if you aren't a good buyer/seller on forums and aren't good at creating deals for yourself, I fully recommend this method.

Tanning them yourself

EXP GAIN: 110k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -200k

Buying tanned

EXP GAIN: 290k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -1100k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 57-?:

Ok it's spinning flax once again. At this level it really becomes slow exp but it's very convenient when getting exp. You can go to whatever lvl you wish, just wouldn't recommend going over 70 doing it this way.

EXP GAIN: 20k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 130k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 71-99:

You can now use blue dragon hides to train. Slightly more expensive if you buy for 2.1k each, but you should be able to manage 2k each, (for the blue leathers) which would mean this is faster and less expensive!

Now, more input on this method. I did this method, and It's very difficult to get the needed 170k hides for 99. What I'd recommend doing is making a thread buying blue d hides, weather or not you want to just do tanned. If you can make 400k+ an hour, then higher tanners. I've had tons of success with this. Tell them they can make 300k per hour easily. Buy tons of blue d hides on forums for 1.9-1.95k ea, and pay the runners 150-200 ea depending on the price you manage to buy for. There's more people than you could imagine willing to do this, so don't miss out on this opportunity. You can try buying the leathers straight off the forums, but I'm telling you it didn't work well for me at all.

If you buy already tanned hides/get runners for them:

EXP GAIN: 330k

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -900k

If you buy untanned:

EXP GAIN: 140k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -250k

***SPEED***

Crafting is one of the most difficult skills out there, and mainly you need money. It's fast if you have money but otherwise slow so I'll put it down as about a 8 on a scale of 1-10.

***USES***

Man there are unlimited uses for crafting. Great dragon hide armor is constructed with it, rings and almost everything nifty little thing you can think of involves crafting in a way. Very useful skill to have a high lvl in

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 FARMING

***FAMILIARITY***

I'm about a 7 on this skill, not all that familiar and my farming lvl comes in at 69.

***ITEMS***

Many seeds, and tools the farmers sell near allotment patches.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-31:

The Sorcerer's Garden is good exp at these early lvls. I admit I haven't done it myself, but I here from others it's great exp. I'll get more info soon.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 1-31:

Start stealing from those master farmers. You'll get tons of starting seeds from them and in less then 30 minutes of thieving, I guarantee you'll have enough to last you 30 lvls.

Use your potato seeds to start out. You have a few options when looking after plants so they don't die. You can plant flowers and when they are fully grown they will protect a certain type of vegetable. Another method is paying farmers to watch them. (Flowers only work for vegetables) And lastly you can watch them yourself.

My favorite way is the flowers way for raising vegetables. I'd suggest when starting to just plant a marigold seed and watch over it for 15 minutes while it grows.

Once it grows it will never die. Now you can plant your potatoes, and onions. They won't die if you have a marigold fully grown in the patch, so you can plant them, leave em be for an hour and then come back and harvest.

Once you get to cabbages you have to plant a new flower to protect them which is a rosemary. Do the same thing with these.

To protect tomatoes go back to marigolds (look at your mini-guide on runescape for what the flowers protect)

For these early lvls you can also plant some herb seeds to get exp as well. Flowers DON'T protect herbs and farmers cannot watch them, so you can watch them or risk it. I risk it.

Tree seeds are also great. Acorn seeds are great for exp in the beginning stages so plant those and pay a farmer to watch em.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 31-60:

Farming begins getting hard in these lvls. You will either need tree seeds, herb seeds or higher lvl vegetable seeds to grow fast.

Cabbage and up is fine for vegetable seed but I really recommend planting the best ones, for it will go much much faster. I got all the way from around 15 through 45 with cabbage seeds though, and it worked fine.

Next the herb seeds. Once you rise in lvl, you'll find herb seeds becoming more and more beneficial. SNAPDRAGON AND RANARR seeds are recommended, giving you a huge profit as well as exp. ALSO use Trollheim patch (your herbs never die.)

Tree seeds are also great if you have a little extra cash on your hands....definitely the fastest method so just buy the best ones you can afford and pay the farmers to watch them.

NOTE:

Lunar spells help out a lot when doing farm runs.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 60-99:

Ok for these last 39 extremely hard lvls, you'll be wanting to do either tree seeds or herb seeds, or cal*uats. Once at this lvl vegetable seeds really start becoming a bad source of exp, seeing that the best vegetable (watermelons) gives you around 1k exp per 3 seeds......

Herb seeds are a great source of money when raising your farming and are a good amount of exp as well. Some herb plants can earn you as high as 3k exp per plant! They will also, unlike watermelons give you a nice profit.

Tree seeds I think are the way to go, although it's expensive. The money pays off though, because you get extremely fast exp. Anything from papaya seeds to mage seeds are great.

***SPEED***

Fairly slow skill although tree seeds earn you quite fast exp, I'd say a 3 on a scale of 1-10

***USES***

Yes farming has some uses. Getting ranarr weeds can be very high paying and also you can use spirit seeds to teleport to a certain patch. Also helps out herblore a lot.

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 FISHING

***FAMILIARITY***

I am very familiar with this skill, probably a 9.5 out of 10 and my lvl is a healthy 87.

***ITEMS***

Small net, lobster pot, fishing rod, feathers, fly fishing rod and bait.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-5:

The only thing you can do is fish some shrimp so head over to Draynor village and start fishing....

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 5-20:

Grab a fishing pole and around 300 bait and go back to Draynor village. Fish with your fishing rod now and you'll soon be lvl 20.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 20-40:

Grab a fly fishing rod and around 1k feathers and begin your fly fishing experience at the easily found barbarian village just west of Varrock.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 40-62:

This method better then lobsters in my opinion for f2p and possibly p2p....depends. Fly fishing is THE BEST EXP IN THE GAME, no matter what lvl you are so always keep that in mind. If you are p2p, go to shilo village and fly fish. If you can't access shilo village and you're a member, I wouldn't suggest fly fishing for you. If you are f2p, continue at barbarian village.

This method will get you the fastest exp, but hardly any money so it's up to you.

EXP GAIN: 40-45k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 40-62:

Now get a lobster pot and if you are f2p, go to Karmaja, but if you are p2p go to Catherby and fish there. Now there are a few more options though......

EXP GAIN: 20k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 50k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 62-99:

In my opinion monkfish are the best exp....notice not the fastest exp but in my opinion the best way to get exp. It's an easy way to get money and they are way faster then lobsters. You fish monkfish as fast as lobsters pretty much and get 30 more exp per monkfish.

There is a requirement though, which is the completion of SWAN SONG.....a very difficult task seeing it's a pretty hard quest. There are more options up ahead for you if you can't do Swan song or don't want to do it. But you should do it if you can

EXP GAIN: 35k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 85k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 62-99:

The number two method in my opinion now is probably shilo village fishing. Once you reach 62 you get very very very fast exp (nearly 50k per hour compared to monkfish's 35k). Although you don't gain much money, it's a great way to get fishing exp....if you're after some money and you can't fish monkfish...read on for the next option

(btw if you want to sell your fish try f2p worlds)

EXP GAIN: 50k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 3 ~ |

Lvls 62-99:

Coming in on my number 3 method is lobster fishing. I really don't recommend this way all that much because if you can do SWAN SONG you really should do it....monkfish is worth every bit of it.

Lobsters get you a mere 25k per hour compared to monkfish' 35k per hour (at least that's what I average) and monkfish you get nearly 75k more per hour in money. But many people can't do swan song and don't want to do shilo village fishing because they want to earn money, and then I would say I recommend this to you.....lobster fishing that is.

EXP GAIN: 20k

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 50k

***SPEED***

I would say this scale is a 4 on a scale of one to 10, because you can get actually pretty fast exp at shilo village fishing.....other ways might be more like a 3.

(continued on next page)

***USES***

Well fishing is a very important skill, giving us the option to last longer in combat and fish things for our neighborly friends in runescape quests. It will also give you a fairly good money source.

***COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS***

I DO NOT RECOMMEND SHARKS AT ANY TIME IN RUNESCAPE!!!

Sharks are mainly a waste of your time unless you are getting them for some pking trips or something. If you want a lot of them I really just recommend buying them. They are horrible exp and really are overrated money sources, coming in around 150k per hour.......

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 FIREMAKING

***FAMILIARITY***

I'm am pretty familiar with firemaking, probably an 8 and my lvl is 77...

***ITEMS***

A tinderbox, a lot of logs, and a fair amount of money.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-15:

Burn some normal logs for these lvls. You can buy them from a f2p general store or get them yourself.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 15-30:

Now burn some oak logs.....same principal applies for this as ones before.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 30-45/99:

No, don't be scared lol. I know 30-99 is a lot of lvls to go through doing the same thing, but there's ways to mix it up. It's best just to do these to lvl 45, then do maples, but if you want a cheap way to 99, willows are the way to go. So this is the best method through lvls 45, not 99. Seeing that cutting willows is the fastest exp for woodcutting, It's a great way to get some free logs while getting very fast woodcutting exp. So you have that option.

Another way is to go into some f2p and buy willow logs from a general store and burn them. You will only need around 1.8 mil I think to get to 99 doing it this way and you'll get around 1.2k exp per minute this way....so it's cheap and fairly fast.

IF EVER BURNING MASS AMOUNTS OF LOGS!

Burn them in port phas, east of canifis. If you can't get in there, then do it in seer's, falador, or yanille.

Another way is to go into some f2p and buy willow logs from a general store and burn them. You will only need around 2.5 mil I think to get to 99 doing it this way and you'll get around 1.2k exp per minute this way....so it's cheap and fairly fast.

EXP GAIN: 110k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -25k

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 45-99:

You also have the option of maple logs for these lvls. I would use this for an alternative if you somehow got bored of willow logs. That is an alternative of woodcutting and burning......you could also go about it another way.....

EXP GAIN: 160k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -80k

If you have all ever heard of a kingdom in Miscellanea then that is one great way to get 99 firemaking.

For those of you who don't know what it is, you can get NPC's to work for you and gather maple logs and flax for you.....and for a price of course.

You are supposed to put money into a bank account there for your workers, and the more money in there, the more maple logs/flax you'll get....Overall you usually get a profit

NOTE: Make sure your favour is at 100% so they get maximum logs/flax for you.

Alright so if you put around 1.5 mil into your account there and keep updating your account week to week making sure it has at least 1.5 mil to start out every week and also you'll need 100% favour at the beginning of every week, you'll earn yourself a lot of logs....

You can tell the workers to get more maple logs then flax for your if you want. You can get around 8k maple logs per week and then from the other supplies your workers give you (around 3k flax and 500k worth of seeds) you'll hopefully be able to upkeep your money by selling the tree seeds and flax to other players.....

So if that wasn't confusing enough, you can get lots of maple logs easily that way.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 3 ~ |

Lvls 60-99:

Yews are great to 99 if you can earn 500k+ (cash) per hour. If you can do that, yews are more time efficient than maples and this is what I'm doing because soon I'll have 91 rcing (1.2 mil cash per hour)

EXP GAIN: 260k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: -350k

***SPEED***

Firemaking is one of the fastest skills in the game. If you use maple logs from your kingdom, you'll get around 3k exp per minute, so I'm rating this a 9 out of 10 on speed.

***USES***

Firemaking is a skill with few uses. A few quests require a lvl from it and also you can make lanterns and do the Shades of Mor'ton Mini-game, which gives exp to other skills and gives you some money.

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 FLETCHING

***FAMILIARITY***

Seeing this is my highest skill at lvl 99 (woot woot) a 10

***ITEMS***

Knife, logs, bowstrings and thats about it.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ | (for lvls 1-40)

For all the (u) bows you make, sell them to a charter ship, you will get the most money back from those.

Lvls 1-5:

Chop some regular trees and turn the logs into arrow shafts with your knife.

Lvls 5-10:

DO NOT STRING ANY BOWS UNTIL YEW LONGBOWS!

Make normal short bows (u)

Lvls 10-20:

Make normal longbows (u)

Lvls 20-25:

Make oak short bows (u)

Lvls 25-35:

Make oak long bows (u)

Lvls 35-40:

Make some willow short bows

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 40-55:

If you're going to cut your logs, willows are the way to go all the way through 70. Yew shorts aren't good because you lose out on a lot of money and maples aren't good because they're too slow to cut and you get more exp cutting/fletching willows. If you're buying logs though, just do these to 55.

EXP GAIN: (need help here)

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: (need help also)

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 55-70:

Now Karamja gloves don't work anymore for for the charter ships on karamja, so you don't profit much anymore with maples. But anyways, theses are great to get exp at these lvls if you're just completely focusing on fletching and not woodcutting your logs as well.

EXP GAIN: (need help here)

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: (need help)

EXP GAIN: (need help here)

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: (need help)

I WOULD NOT SUGGEST AT ANY TIME YOU MAKE YEW SHORTBOWS.

It is simply a waste of time and money to make yew short bows, seeing you can't sell them to other players or high alc them for a good price.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 70-85:

Now that Jagex has removed the quick stringing process from the game, which I'm sad to hear because fletching no longer has any skill to it, you only have to do yew longs till 85.

Buy yew logs for about 300 each and cut them with your knife into yew longs (u). Now just withdraw 14 bowstrings and 14 yew longs (u) and it doesn't matter their order anymore because of the newly added "x" string.

EXP GAIN: 130k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 180k

QUICK BANKING/STRINGING PROCESS

I feel a need to add this in, in place of the stringing process that I once had

1) Have your yew longs (u) and bowstrings on the right side of your bank. You can't have them on the bottom corner (which would be better) because the bank auto moves your bank view when you exit out of it. You should have these on the right side of your bank because it's closer to your inventory which means less time moving your mouse back and forth between bank and inventory.

2) Now after you string one inventory of longbows, you can try out a little trick. Open up your bank and then withdraw "all" on bowstring, then you'll have 14 bowstrings and 14 longbows. Now deposit your longbows and then withdraw "all" on longbows (u). You'll then have 14 longbows (u) and 14 bowstrings. Then choose string "x" and have your finger ready on the "2" button and press is twice as fast as you can once the screen comes up asking you how many to make. You can have your finger on any number 2 or greater, it doesn't matter unless it's 1.....Hopefully you get what I mean.

3) String in castle wars because its a one click bank, so as soon as you're finished stringing, just click the chest and repeat.

Just a few little tips that might increase the speed of each inventory by 2 or 3 seconds (which adds up quick).

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 85-99:

Mage longs are now the best exp in the game now that the update has come along. I hope I'm showing that I really didn't like they updated it lol. Anyways....

Buy mage logs at a price that's not too big, but make sure you're buying mass amounts (like in 1k bundles). You shouldn't have to pay more than 1.1k for each mage log. Buy bowstrings 200ish each and just continue making mage longs. You'll earn somewhere around 180k exp per hour cutting and stringing (used to be like 230k but oh well stupid update). Many alcers will buy mage longs because they're a great item to alc, so sell them to break even for 1.3k each, and if you can manage it 1350 each.

Well, at least the update is more relaxing right?

EXP GAIN: 180k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

***SPEED***

This has now slowed to maybe an 8 on a scale of 1-10. It's still fast and now is very relaxing to do though.

***USES***

Where would this world be without bows? The skill is useful and can earn you a fair amount of money.

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 HERBLORE

***FAMILIARITY***

I'm not the best at herblore and not the most familiar so probably a 7 on a scale of 1-10....my lvl is 59.

***ITEMS***

Tons and tons of herbs, 2nds and water filled vials. Pestle and mortar and many more items I will mention in the course of your training (below)

***LVL 1-99***

You must do a quest called "Druidic Ritual" to begin this quest. It will get you to lvl 3 which is where your training will begin.......

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-38:

Alright everybody, herblore is a very confusing and hard skill to train, not to mention it can be very expensive as well. My goal is to limit all 3 of those variables to a minimum.

In my opinion herblore was THE toughest skill for me to raise when it was in the lower lvls of 1-50. What I did to raise my herblore I simply call the waiting game. Kill things that drop loads of herbs such as chaos druids or slayer beasts. Bank all those herbs and use them to raise your skill of herblore up.

This may be a very frustrating method to use seeing it is very slow going and completely depends on drops. You really should keep your eyes on your combat lvl raising instead of herblore while you get herbs. The herbs are rewards that you hardly even deserve seeing you killed all those monsters for exp and got those herbs to raise herblore.

ANOTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND......

Whenever you can do a quest that gives herblore exp, do it. It's completely worth it and also whenever you get exp lamps from quests use it on herblore. I used my legends exp all on herblore and got it from 46 to 50. There are many quests that reward herblore.

~~~CHAOS DRUIDS~~~

These play a huge roll in raising herblore. The best place to kill them is in the Taverley dungeon. They're low lvl and they drop herbs almost every time you kill one. Bank all herbs in Falador and you'll hopefully see your herblore lvl rise quick!

NOTE: If you are combat lvl 90+ and thieving lvl 81+, go to yanille dungeon and kill Chaos Druid Warriors because they're closer to a bank and drop better herbs.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 1-38:

You do not have to go about the other way....you could just buy your herbs simply. Up until harralander I'd recommend buying guam leaves because they aren't expensive and easy to get. Marrentill is a good option if you can find people selling it cheaply.

Tarromin I really wouldn't suggest to use potions because limpwurt roots are so expensive (nearly 1k each). Once you can do energy potions and such with harralander, I recommend buying those from people and make them into energy potions until lvl 38.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 38-63:

Yep you guessed it.....cows....(you'd get this joke if you read my entire guide) jk......no it's prayer potions. I find these the best all the way through lvl 63 because you only lose around 150-450 depending on what kind of a merchanter you are per potion. The supplies for these potions are easily found amongst other players and also the prayer potions can be sold easily.

Now, you only lose 450 per pot if you sell in bulk. I've found it great to sell them in world 2 for 9k each. It's not too hard to sell at that price, but it is hard to sell tons of potions. I'm not sure how many you can sell per hour, but I think you could do 1-2k per hour. Now, that's 1k more per pot you're getting and that means you're saving 1-2 mil per hour *cough* merchanters, great idea here.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 63-99:

Alright this is always changing, but most of the time super restores and prayer potions are best all the way through 99. It's sometimes difficult to make a profit although you can if you sell your potions in world 2. Super restores seem the best because you can normally break even and they're faster than prayer pots, plus the supplies are fairly easy to buy and they're easy to sell.

A brief talk about getting high levels and selling mass/buying mass potions/herbs.

Now, many of you venturing to get a high herblore level may not be prepared for what's ahead. You may think it might be fairly hard getting all of those herbs and then selling them back as potions and losing maybe 25-75 mil on your way to 99.

You're pretty much wrong. It's VERY hard to break even or even just lose a little when buying selling mass herblore supplies. Super restores can be hard. Snapdragon is a very difficult herb to get ahold of. Most people will be selling in small amount of maybe 100....doubt you'll see somebody selling more than that. Selling them is actually the easy part, so you got that going for you.

Prayer pots, on the other hand will lose you much more money (around 1k each potion) but are extremely easy to buy herbs in bulk and sell potions in bulk....so keep that in mind.

WHEN SELLING POTIONS!!!

I've found it very helpful to put on your thread

"If buying 100 or less, my world my place"

That speeds things up A LOT, most people obey

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls ?-99:

Anytime you want you can shift to another potion. The reason you might want to do this is that it will give you faster exp. You will lose more money, but hey if you're rich it's always a great option....

Jagex just messed up herblore as well on the fast potion making thing, so there's no need to explain how to do it. You can also read the fletching "quick banking process" to speed up your inventory speed by 1-2 seconds each.

***SPEED***

A very slow skill to start but gets faster, especially if you are rich. I'll rank it as a 3.5 on speed.

***USES***

Very important because it's great to be able to access potions whenever you need them, may it be energy potions, melee raising potions or whatever.......

__________________________________________________________________________

2.10 HUNTER

***FAMILIARITY***

I have good knowledge of this skill, seeing I was included in the race for first (lol that completely failed) and at some point I was down to like 300th or something. Anyways, I was listening and learning the fastest techniques all through that small hunting era and I know pretty much the best ways. I am probably a 9 out of 10 and my hunting lvl is 83.

***ITEMS***

Box traps, small nets, ropes, bird snares, butterfly net, 20 butterfly jars and possibly some camo for certain types of hunting.

***LVL 1-99***

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 1-15:

I'd really suggest sticking with Crimson Swifts through these lvls. Note that is will be very frustrating to start out but will get better. You'll need bird snares for these lvls. Crimson Swifts are in the very southeast of the Feldip Hills, Just south of Yanille.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls: 1-15

Another approach (which I haven't exactly tested) are polar kebbits. I think they give slightly less exp as crimson swifts, but are a little less frustrating. They're in the polar region (north of fremnik province) bring a noose and that's it.

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 15-29:

Grab your butterfly jars and net and head over to the woodlands, northwest of Tree Gnome Stronghold. Butterflies I personally think are the fastest exp at this lvl, although many people may disagree. I get around 200 exp per minute here, and couldn't find a way to get any more any other way at this lvl.

EXP GAIN: 13k per hour

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

_______________

| ~ METHOD 2 ~ |

Lvls 23-29

Another great way to get exp once you hit lvl 23 is deadfall traps. You'll need an axe, knife and some logs to do this (trees are near hunting sites).

_______________

| ~ METHOD 1 ~ |

Lvls 29-43:

I think lizards and salamanders are among the best exp in the game and you can start at lvl 29. Go into Mort Myre swamp and bring along 4 small nets (purchased at Port Sarim) and 4 ropes. YOU DO NOT NEED BAIT, although you should use a torch to smoke the trap. To do that light a torch bought at a hunter shop and use a tinderbox on it. Then just right click on trap once it's set up and do "smoke" trap.

EXP GAIN: (need this)

MONEY GAIN/LOSS: 0

Lvls 29-43:

You could continue dead fall trapping animals to get good ex
