Do you ever use the"Self Sufficient" methods??

[ISREAL63]

i get everything i need by my self except for rune ess

[Cryptogram]

Sometimes self-sufficiency is absolutely necessary. I couldn't do the following any other way without spending stupid money.

 

 

 

I need home tele tabs and fally tele tabs.

 

1. Karamja gloves to Shilo, mine gems until I have five sapphires.

 

2. Mine five gold, smelt them.

 

3. Make 5 sapphire bracelets, enchant them into clay braces.

 

4. Mine 140 clay.

 

5. Make the tele tabs.

 

 

 

Another thing I do is to make tuna-taters. I have farmed over 6k sweetcorn, so no worries there. I generally buy tuna from players - half the time they give it away as they don't see a use for it and just cooked it for xp.

 

But then, I pick and cook spuds and do the rest myself, as people can't help with the rest.

 

 

 

With fletching, I get all my own stuff and craft all the bowstrings and nats I need.

 

 

 

I draw the line at making my own vials or churning stuff which you can buy in the shops - that's just waste of time to me. Whatever floats your boat I suppose...I'm self-sufficient, but I'm not an island.

I only fish every once and a while, other than that I sell, sell,sell! :thumbsup:

[davidium]

really depends on whether ive the time or money...i try to gather all 2nds for potions by myself (blue dragon scale, fungi, snape grass, chocolate dust, eye of newt) but somethings i just buy off people such as limpwurt root SEEDS which i will farm myself for the root for sup str pots. but somethings are rather impossible to get such as getting full rune when u reach lvl 40 def at first unless u already have 99 smithing :-w

[blakdragon39]

I'm pretty self sufficient :P. I mine everything that I wanna smith. Fish for my own food and cook it too, make as many of my own potions as I can, try to make my own weapons for treasure trails, like addy squares and whatnot :P, or get a friend to make them o.O .

[calum12]

nearly always. I can't afford buying items lol.

[ElegantDecay]

i gather almost all the items i use. food, bolts, arrows, ore (if its in small amounts), seeds, potions, herbs, etc. mostly this is because in cheap and being a packrat i tend to gather anything i see that may be usefull. (my poor poor bank) :XD:

[Lux_Tenebrae]

I try to be as Self-sufficient as I can. I never buy food, herbs and the like. I have payed for pots that I didn't have the herbs to make. But times like that are few and far between. Being as self-sufficient as I can be is what makes the game fun for me.

[Doomster]

Self-Sufficient + opportunistm If I can buy supplies cheap enough, I'll buy, but more likely to be selling supplies.

 

 

 

F2P, bit short of time now or I'd be going P2P to so some quest-bashing.

 

 

 

And that makes a difference, there is so much you HAVE to buy in, and so little that makes good money.

 

 

 

I've bought cooking levels with Tuna from the store - if I can make use of a cheap surplus, but the player market favours the seller, maybe quick & easy disposal through the exchange will improve things, higher trade volume without really trying, and maybe lower prices.

[Armadyllo]

I'm self-sufficient as far as buying stuff off other players is concerned.

 

 

 

It may take absolutely ages to mine XXXX pure essence, craft it all to nats without runners, chop XXXX yew logs, pick XXXX flax and fletch XXXX yew longbows, and finally alch the lot with the nats... but you get a good pile of XP in all those skills and a huge pile of cash at the end.

 

I find it a bit more interesting than working just towards a level in one skill.

[Skull]

I'm 100% self sufficient. Thats mainly due to the fact that I don't have the money to buy supplies in the first place. :oops:

[maddudy]

yeah i guess i am most the time i only buy stuff like armor and weapons

 

bowstring and p ess

 

everything else is gotten by my self

[englandman66]

[dkw0101]

i kill for my own bones

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

If I have the time and the goal in mind, I'll definitely harvest my own goods for my own practical uses.

 

 

 

[For me, it's not only cheaper than buying it all at once, but it's also faster, since money for me comes and goes like the tide.]

[hephaestos8]

i always buy stuff, its just quicker and easier, and i could make over 300k an hour so it is worth it to save the time

[Tyrsbreath]

I have never bought a level. RSC days .........when a spot in the hi scores meant something :)

[Wrench_150]

Yup, not all of us are rich enough to throw money around. I do around 75% of things myself unless it's not worth my time since I lack that also. Some items are just better to buy than getting it yourself.

[Artemis_42]

I virually always use the "self sufficient ways" of obrtaining items. I've been poor my entire runescape career (still am, by the way) so I don't have the money to spend buying raw meterials from other players.

[Dragons_Might]

In my opinion, self sufficiency is MOSTLY un efficiency.

 

 

 

For me, I am a pretty rich player, so I can afford to avoid self suffieciency for speed methods of things. If it counts, I do use miscleania kingdom for my own seeds, but thats about it.

 

 

 

If i want a self sufficient skill to 99 (wc, fish, etc), I'd just powertrain it and make the cash loss back later.

[Cyco_Reborn]

Whenever I set myself a task, like making 10k bows for example, i do everything myself: cut the logs, pick the flax, spin the bowstrings, make the nats etc.

 

 

 

It's good for balancing out the levels, but it does take ages -.- .

[Angelsbane]

i kill for my own bones

 

how does killing some1 else help you get your bones out of your body :shock: lol lk

 

ot: i only buy things if i need them in huge amounts and are slow to gather, like 1k+ logs or ore, i also buy armor that is too hard to get for its starts and requirenments.

[kieranread]

Yeh i do everything myself, im a level 101 and only have 100k only had that much for the past 6 months (lituraly) and thats with playing a lot lol.

 

 

 

I find i dont need money cause i get what i need myself.

 

 

 

The only exception is pure ess which i buy then make the runes myself.

[rook_2222]

I make my own runes from scratch.

 

 

 

- Mine ess

 

 

 

- Walk all the way to the air/mind altar (never have spare money for laws :-$ #-o )

 

 

 

- Make 6 airs with 1 ess =P~ :thumbsup: and 5 minds with 1 ess :mrgreen:

[Skate4u]

depends on how hard it is to get the item that i need and how many :P i do it alot :)
