SportsGuy Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Maybe from my signature you can tell that I'm close to getting to at least level 50 in all the F2P skills, which is my goal for pre-membership (and pre-quest completion of Dragon Slayer). Big bones seem to take forever to gather and a fortune to buy. It's the last of the sub-50 skills I have to work on, but I've got about 2.8k rune essence that I'm going to turn into mind runes in order to try and bump my magic up to 59 or 60 before membership. Also, I'm gathering as many anti-dragon shields as I can, buckets, planks, Eye of Newt, logs, oak logs, willow logs, nails, and feathers. I figure once I get a healthy set of that stuff, I'll become a member. I might even keep the Dragon Slayer quest incomplete for a little while in order to enjoy the option of gathering more shields. My level goals are going to change a bit, but not much. Once I get level 50 in everything, I'll consider membership. Before it was a sure thing, now I'm wondering if I should just wait even longer until I have a ton of stuff gathered!

NJE03 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 My advice is to kill moss or hill giants and bury their bones, otherwise you will end up spending quite a bit for not much exp. As for how many you need, try tip.it skill calculators: Skill Calculators [spoiler=Stats:]Updated December 22, 2011: Total level - 1442 - 170M+ XP , Combat level - 115Combat skills: Attack - 90, Defence - 99 (24.45m+ XP), Strength - 90, Constitution - 99 (16.42M+ XP) Ranged - 99 (13.32M+ XP), Prayer - 60, Magic - 99 (13.25M+ XP)Non-Combat skills: Cooking - 99 (13.80M+ XP), Woodcutting - 99 (31.95M+ XP), Fishing - 90, Firemaking - 99 (24.82M+), Crafting - 90, Smithing - 90, Mining - 85, Runecrafting - 60, Dungeoneering - 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Oliva Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Yeh definatly collect the Big Bones rather then buy, will save you a fair amount of gold pieces. The runecrafting depends on your need for money back from the skill. Either method should just about take the same time though. 97/99 Str [F2P]80/99 Att [F2P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 I think I realized a bit too late that trying for rune med helms was pointless. I'm having difficulty with advancing prayer, but since I've hit 45 I think there aren't any more F2P skills available in prayer. I'm over 50 in magic (yes!) and only have level 59 to look forward to there, before F2P magic skills run out. As for those calculators, they never seem to work for me...I don't know if it's my firewall set-up or what. Thanks for the help! Looks like I'm gonna be a regular in the Edgeville Dungeon for quite some time!

Moonshadow Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 A little tip, use all your lamps on prayer. That is how I get most of my prayer levels now. I would definitely kill moss or hill giants, but, Ice giants are a very good source of big bones. You could try the ones in the wilderness, but, I am not sure with the new reverent things.

Slayer_Jesse Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 it would be much better use of your time to get 50 prayer AFTER you get members, with baby and adult dragon bones... and guilded altars :shock: [hide=Siggy credits]The Awesome, Epic, Amazing, S3xah A-10 Sig By Unolexi!

Of all the skills prayer is probably the hardest in f2p :s and members makes it a tonnn easier (if expensive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I would suggest waiting until after members for the 50 prayer. It will be much faster, and a better use of your time.

SportsGuy Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm pretty set on getting my stats all to level 50 before becoming a member. 2k hill giants to kill will take a LONG time, but I think it will be worth it in the long run. I'm in the process of running between the body altar and Edgeville with the goal of getting 52 runecrafting. I could do that or runecraft tons of air and mind runes to use for levelling up magic. I'm not really sure about that one, but I started RC'ing fires and realized that I don't need those that much. Airs and Minds seem to be best, but I'm not sure I'm gonna do that much RC'ing while a member. The real problem seems to be prayer as it is SLOW without a POH and guilded altar. I think the F2P level I have now is pretty good, especially since I can't USE the higher levels in F2P. I'm just a pretty stubborn person. I didn't reach all level 50 by January 1st, but I still haven't gotten the online banking thing to get my membership. I don't want to pay directly out of my bank account or with a credit card. Anyway, I'll be throwing a Falador party when I do get a membership, but until then...

iwontpk Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Runecrafting will be about 4 times faster as a member and prayer will cost the same but only take about 30 min, so you should really get them after you become a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desel4 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 for prayer just go to the bone yard its in the wildly and im not sure if theres any revenants, its about 6k xp/hour and for runecrafting go to world 16 and just follow some one and craft air runes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm not so impatient as to just give up this close, just because it will be quicker and easier as a member. I need tons of big bones (about 1700 or so) and since 100k only bought me 250 of them, I don't think I'll be going that route. Currently, I'm RC'ing body runes, but will get back to killing giants as soon as I can. After all that, I'm planning on building up a stock of planks, logs, feathers, iron bars, and empty buckets for fletching, contstruction, and farming. Eyes of newt for using in herbology. After I get a little stockpile, it's on to members!

BBC3 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 i dont know why you try to convince anyone you are the first to get 50 in f2p stats when there was no member version of the game when it came out. meaning you should have been #1 at one point, either way you dont have 50 prayer even 7 years later. stop pretending to be the first then asking for advice afterwards, you should know everything. 4000000657th to 99 cookin555555406th to 99 flethcin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomster Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think the boneyard ended up buried underneath bounty hunter, but a more tedious route is collecting normal bones at the chaos altar.
