hi i was jsut wondering if any of you scapers acutally ever use the Self-Sufficientfashion way of getting things, instead of a shop or nother player

 

 

 

some of the Self-sufficient things include Churning(churn milk to make butter or cheese), bland farming(like killing cows or dragons. FOR YOURSELF, not to sell)

 

others include: sheering sheep, fishing lava/cave eels( :notalk: ok thats not a OLDIE(or self sufficent, but alot of people just dont bother getting them anymore)

 

 

 

Ok cause i didnt post about me before-i will now :D

 

 

 

ok im gernally always doing things myself. like fish and cook, fletch for a spare 100k sometimes. i train all the skills (explains why i have quest cape ) the only acutal thing i buy is the odd rune legs or soemthing. im gernally poor so i dont buy much[just managed to get my first whip a week ago;i know that sounds nooby for a lv 95 player]

 

other than that i dont buy much -.-

 

 

 

if ya can think of any others post away! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

 

 

=; #-o

 

P.S i dont know why this has happened but i've acutally posted 10 times(just to point out)

 

P.S.S i changed all of the "OLD" things to self sufficent for people.

I make my own molten glass, if that's what you mean? :

i still have 50 torstols from Salarin's chest (not from farming).

 

[EDIT] But no,i dont use this method this days to get herbs..

I enjoy doing it the old way sometimes - getting the pizza dough, tomatoes, chees and toppings; churning the milk; sheering the sheep; making molten glass. It's gratifying sometimes.

I mine gold without amulet of glory. :o

I do sometimes. especially if i don't wanna waste money.

this is badly worded

 

 

 

they are not OLD ways of getting something

 

 

 

they are SELF SUFFICIENT ways of getting something.

 

 

 

I and most of my friends are self sufficient where ever and when ever possible, unless we get bored of something (eg mining ess) and buy it in

if you open your eyes, you'll see players getting things the old way.

 

 

 

too many people support the bots though.

 

 

 

i can think of others. slayer over camping. kingdom of miscellania over mining coal or fishing tuna.

 

 

 

killing dragons for dragonhide.

 

 

 

killing chaos druids over farming for herblore.

 

 

 

burying bones over ecto, gilded altar.

 

 

 

walking over teleporting, which isnt really old, but maybe considering when you first played, you couldnt teleport because your mage was too low.

 

 

 

walking to runecraft altar over abyss or zmi.

 

 

 

some of these things arent any better just different way of playing. if you want to read a great thread, there's an excellent thread on rsof forums look up DIY (do it yourself) there's a tremendous amount of good information.

 

 

 

to answer your question, i do things the old way when its in my interest to do things the old way for my own entertainment or to gather materials if the old way is still good, and in some cases it is. and i understand completely i make lots of pies and use lunar bake pie spell, so i combine the old with the new etc.

I do everything the "old" ways. I don't know most of the newer, more effective ways and can't be bothered to learn them. plenty of good players did things well the harder ways and i can do the same.

:shame:

 

Time and bank space are the most valuable resources in this game.

I've mined almost all my own ess and ores for RCing and Smithing, not ALL my own but more than not.

 

I make most of my own vials if I'm short in supply to.

Yes, sometimes I do things the old way. For example I almost crafts all my runes myself for magic, I fish all my fish myself for cooking and I chop almosy all my own logs for firemaking. Sometimes I also mine my own ores for smithing.

 

But when it comes to the other skills, I often buy the items I need for training them.

I always try to do everything myself, i like every part of the game and thoroughly enjoy making the things i use from scratch. There are some exceptions though, like for instance, if i need an amulet of glory, or and rune scimmy. I do not have the skills to make these yet so i have to buy them. The new assist system obviously makes this a lot easier for me and less expensive.

 

 

 

I like caching/making all my food. One of the first things i done upon joining rs was to get my fishing/cooking lvls up high enough so i could make decent food. I've never bought food from someone else.

 

 

 

Its funny you mentioned churning in your example ... i've just finished churning 400 butter for my tuna potatos :P 22hp each.

Nah I buy stuff off others, and try to buy it as cheap as possible :P

I tend to buy all my materials unless I am specifically training a skill that could be considered a self-sufficient skill. It gives me more time to do other parts of the game that I enjoy more.

I gather things myself mostly, depending on how hard it will be and if it's worth it.

Nope, what's the point of using gathering skills to get my resources when bots have already made them cheap enough anyway? If I ever decide to max a gathering skill, I'm going to powertrain it.

Churning to make cheese is the old way? I remember waiting at Aggie's house in Draynor trying to catch the cheese spawn :P

 

I stick to rsc style, self sufficient methods to do stuff, still havn't adjusted to Rs2 :|

I try to get as much things as possible by myself. And I don't like some of the new training methods, so I don't use them(like Pest Control or Gilded Altar/Ectofunctus).

I do self-sufficiency either when I don't believe the time wasted to be considerable or if I can't be bothered to buy it myself.

 

 

 

Otherwise, self-sufficiency is horribly inefficient and if you do it just to prove a point you're just hurting yourself.

I craft my own nature rune for alching, so I don't losse money. I buy bow tough.

 

I kill blue drag to get prayer up. I loot blue d'hide and bone, so I sell the d'hide and buy some more bones :)

 

I got 51 herblaw with tears of guthix, I don't know if it's an old methods, buts it's slow :XD:

Its called being self-sufficient, and I do it most of the time. I hate having to pay for items when I can get them for free with a little elbow grease. Helps keep your stats balanced in the long run, to boot.

I completely agree. Being a 100% self-sufficient is a complete waste of time and money for those with mid-high level skills.

 

 

 

Personally, I am rarely self-sufficient. If I need, for example, some green dragon hides, I go make some money and buy them; much faster then killing the green dragons myself.

 

 

 

Oh, and shouldn't this be in questionnaires?

I just cut my own oak logs for fletching.

 

 

 

But then I bought the willows :(

Last night I chopped a bunch of regular logs to make 10k arrows. I got the feathers from chompies, which I killed with self-made brutals that I got the feathers for from chickens.
