hermyabc Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I am currently earning money for 99 FM and my Fishing is 62 while WC is 71. Which is better for earning money at my levels? And what should I burn, willows or maples? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moad14 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Fishing is better money I believe. Once you can catch monkfish it's exceptionally good. Also, you should burn maples.

hermyabc Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 By the way, I am a skiller, so I cannot do quest for Monks. Yeah, I decided to save a couple thousand clicks and burn maples. So Lobs or Yews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moad14 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Lobsters, but harpooning for swordfish and tuna might be faster money. I'm not sure on that, just try each and see which makes faster money.

WSD Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yews... Worth nearly double than a Lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moad14 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yews... Worth nearly double than a Lobster. You've got to be kidding me. Do you know how long it takes to get yews at 70 woodcutting?

hermyabc Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 I tried Swords yesterday, it is inconsistent, but it seems to be around the same as Lobs. Lobs are 335 atm Yews are 416 I am using a d ax for WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecardj Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Raw lobs are over 350 each now (they sell at max easily) last time i checked yews were around 400 so they fairly similar in costs. keep that in mind Not sure which is faster, cause I dont fish/wc really, but what ever is faster is probably more money at those prices.

max_miller20 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yews are faster by a lot, lobsters are just to far from a bank. And burn maples. Asuming you burn 1k logs an hour average: You will gain 270k xp by burning 2k maples in 2 hours. It will cost you 84k. You will gain 270k xp by burning 3k willows in 3 hours. It will cost you 36k. If you can make more than 48k an hour maples logs will be cheaper. Does it really matter whether I was right? #-oThis is Tipit. There is nothing more important than being right. Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermyabc Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Wait...I'd be fishing in catherby. Or in the guild after 2 levels. Is that too far for good money? I would be WCing at the Gnome stronghold. And an update: I am now 72 wc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1770 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 feel free to pm me on this. but from my fishing erxperience. sharks are fastest cash once you have 80 fishing. until then, lobsters, or monks, are great cash. if you want xp and cash, do monks. or if you cant do those, lobsters.

Troacctid Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 They're both pretty poor cash. 99 fishing and 99 woodcutting here, and in none of my tests was I able to earn more than about 150k gp/hr with either skill. And that's at 99, mind you. You can make more than that easily, and in many ways that have little or no prerequisites. (For example, making oak planks at the sawmill.) If you really want the exp, try chopping teaks and burning as you go on Ape Atoll. Chop 'n burn is a fairly sensible way if you want both woodcutting and firemaking eventually.

Troacctid Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Then what is a good method, I want a FM cape asap. Off the top of my head, you could kill banshees, cave slimes, green dragons, or aviansies and get good profit. You should also farm herbs no matter how you make money. Runecrafting is good too, mostly at the high levels. And of course you can do things like collect snape grass on Waterbirth with 72 magic and lunars, play Great Orb Project for pure essence, make oak planks in the sawmill with balloons, run various things back and forth from shops, make unfinished potions, tan d'hides... I have no idea exactly how much gp/hr any of those things would be, tbh, except that they're all faster cash than fishing or woodcutting.

hermyabc Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Erm...I am level 3 so killing things are out of the picture. About the pure ess...I tried selling some, but even at lowest no one is buying. Herbs, I am 9 Farming...lol. I tried Flax, baking potatoes, mining pure ess...all very slow.

ultimatballr Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Mining pure essence is better money than both fishing and woodcutting so you could go that route even though you asked out of fishing and woodcutting. Out of the two fishing lobbies is probably better money than cutting yews or maples. So its really up to you. Apparently, my signature was to big.
