Leveling through quests.

[Hilramorre]

After getting my account unbanned after several years, I got a new members subscription and was stunned at the amount of quests. Just tons and tons. So, I decided to do all of them (or at least all they I could do). Many were useless to me, other than simply unlocking new quests, however I understand that they were made for lower level people. However when I looked into the requirements for a fairy tale part 2 and noticed I needed 49 farming (was level 1 at the time). It hit me that I could do other quests in the mean time, quests which give farming exp as a reward to help me get there while still doing more quests.

 

 

 

So I started on a fairy tale part 1 (needed it done anyway, obviously) and the 3500 farming exp boosted me to level 17, quite a jump. Obviously that 3500 would mean little once I'm level 40, but instantly going to level 17 by doing a quest I would be doing anyway means when I start training my farming I'll already be getting a higher exp rate. After finishing a forgettable tale, it'll go from 17 to 25 (almost 26) too.

 

 

 

So, the question is. Have you ever used the method, of completely quests to help raise levels for other quests?

[compfreak847]

Not really, by the time you hit the mid 50's you can usually get XP faster from training then questing. I could see it being helpful at level 1, though. Especially if you were planning on doing the quest anyway.

[pryomancer]

Quests helped me get some of my levels.

 

 

 

Some of the rewards are pretty big, say Monkey Madness etc.

 

 

 

I know the quests take ages to complete anyway, but it's more fun than grinding.

 

 

 

Also it helps train up skills I wouldn't have done otherwise.

[toast647]

Agility xp on my pure. Really annoying to train below 50. I use all my lamps and stuff on it

[jessy87]

i got like 29 smithing from the blurite sword quest.

 

 

 

 

 

oh, got my herblore up with edgar ruse to like 52.

[Dizzle229]

Lol, I haven't trained Summoning AT ALL and I'm lvl 13 in it.

[cnut21]

Did you use tears or just lamps?

[blacksurge]

Tbh I haven't trained agility in forever. Quests are very useful with that :)

[T. Skill]

i got like 29 smithing from the blurite sword quest.

 

 

 

The Knight's Sword, 1-29 smithing with little to no effort. Thanks. :thumbsup:

[Melos]

I did so for my lower level skills. And mainly Tears of Guthix has helped me quite a bit for Summoning and Construction >.>.

[Diesel]

Lol, I haven't trained Summoning AT ALL and I'm lvl 13 in it.

 

 

 

Same here, except I'm level 40.

 

 

 

Only Tears, lamps, and the beginning quest.

[xSxqPowerx]

Not really, since experience can usually be gotten faster in other ways.

 

I also don't really do quests.

[cnut21]

I did Tears for my farming from lvl 1 to 25, then from then i've done oak trees and now i can do willows, Trees are the easiest experience for me.

[psvstef]

yep, specialy the quests with thieving and agility exp reward :

[Zierro]

I think training is much more efficient than questing for Xp. The only time I Quested for Xp was when I tried to get 30 Farming.

[alcoolj]

I used many quests to level up skills.

 

Eagles Peak to go up quickly in hunter levels. Feud quest to gain loads of thieving levels. Grand Tree, and Troll quests to get painful agility levels.

 

Tears of Guthix have given me plenty of runecrafting and summoning levels too which is nice. These days I look at quests almost solely for xp, unless it gives me new training methods, or access to new areas/weapons.

[Tom_Servo]

I did this TONS when I was new to members. It really get the ball rolling for all those new skills.

[BloodArgon]

I do quests for 3 reasons.

 

1 - New areas/skills/abilities

 

2 - Higher Quests

 

3 - Large xp lamps.

 

 

 

One Small Favor and the RFD (mainly for gloves but the xp lamps were a bonus) I did for nice chunks of agility xp. Hour long quest beats grinding 20k agility xp. I needed QP for RFD anyway.

[wild_goat_14]

Knight's Sword and Dragon Slayer for F2P.

[Matey]

When I was training to do the Legend's Quest, I used numerous other quest rewards to level my herblore. The required herblore level seemed so high back then, mind you I've barely levelled it since :P.

 

 

 

But yeah, I have used quests to level a skill or two, it's a nice alternative to the monotonous levelling most skills feature. The XP really isn't worth it for skills that are in the 50's or above, though.

[nightzero]

I used exp lamps, quest rewards for both herblore and summoning :0 I got 41 summoning without ever making a pouch(other than the one for wolf whistle).

[Hilramorre]

Well of course after the 50's the exp becomes negligible. However below 50, when you need to do the quests anyway (since I assume most people want to have completed all the quests), it can be a great way to get an early boost on your levels and therefore speed up the leveling process, or at least in my experience it is.

[Money Wasted]

since summoning has come out that has been the only skill ive used my lamps on. paid off :thumbsup:

[The Observer]

Well, since I'm F2P, I don't really have the experience of doing this. But, if I was a member, I would surely do this. It would make things a lot easier. :

[blakdragon39]

I remember once I met someone, and he wanted to do a quest for mining exp. So we went and did it. :P Thats the only time I ever did though. I can't remember which quest it was.
