leapfrog Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hey everyone, with this new update I've decided I might want a combat skill at 99, and since I want attack, strength, and def the same, I'm gonna choose mage or range. This may not be immediate, but I need ideas. If I ranged, I would buy bronze arrows (7 ea :thumbsup: ), but I have no idea what the best place to train would be, and how many arrows I'd need. If I did magic, I know I could alch, curse, or fire strike/bolt, but I have no idea which would be the cheapest and best. Any ideas? Especially for alching, what is there to alch in f2p? I'm sort of leaning toward range, but it would be good to know the best way for magic for the future. Stats are in sig, and yes, my combat skills aren't great, which is why I want the 99 :D . I also have about 2.5m cash, full sara which I'd be willing to sell, and about 2m in ores and bars to sell. Ideas? Thanks very much in advance. Remember, I'm F2p. ~Leap~ I guess cause I never saw the need. I also felt that if I moved into the version of the game that was always changing that it would in some way invalidate the work that I had already put into my account.

DingoAte Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Ok, for range, buy around 10k bronze arrows at a time so you don't buy too much. Stand at the cows next to crafting guild and range the hob-goblins. Or you could try monsters in the security stronghold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Smither Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'd do range because it would be easier to buy X amount of bronze arrows and kill hobgoblins by the craft guild. If you decide to mage crumble undead wearing full rune and kill the skeletons in varrock sewers. You will splash every time don't worry. Good Luck!

leapfrog Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks for the quick replies, seems like I'm right in thinking range. I don't really remember the craft guild much, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to pick up arrows. correct? I guess I could telegrab limps to make up some of the cash if I'm thinking right. Any other ideas on where to train, and how many total arrows it would take? I need to know how much it would cost, even if I don't buy all at once. Thanks again. I guess cause I never saw the need. I also felt that if I moved into the version of the game that was always changing that it would in some way invalidate the work that I had already put into my account.

NJE03 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 My advice for you is to go with range, buy 100k bronze arrow and range lessers thus making a nice profit and then when those arrows run out proceed to buy more and repeat.

leapfrog Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Okay, thanks for all the feedback, I think I'm going to switch between methods, but do a lot of training at lessers, because a profit and not too much clicking sounds good to me :D . Thanks again, and any more advice would be great. I guess cause I never saw the need.

Rememeber: Range is cheap+fast Mage+expensive+fast why would you want to splash crumble undead? You gain exp for the danage you do. The only reason I would even consider splashing it is if I was a member, and had a slayer staff (which can autocast crumble undead).

meol Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 In my opinion, 99 magic is much more useful than 99 ranged, as you get a lot of spells (even more with Lunars and Ancients) and teleports.

Rememeber: Range is cheap+fast Mage+expensive+fast This will work, but, important note is, higher level armor, less magic loss. Meaning, Bronze = -60 magic or so, rune = -9 or so. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster is f2p so magic is pointless beyond 59 mage. Especially since each of the elemental spells have a maximum. I'd go with range as f2p. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decebal Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Id say ranging giants lessers, or stronghold of security monsters. Mage isn't really worth it to 99 in f2p, only if ranging lessers should you bother bringing nats. Or ice or moss giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
