What is the most useful NON-Combat Skill?

[Intermagma]

Which skill is the most useful that is NON-Combat? This topic should not cover Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Prayer, Ranged, Magic, and Summoning.

[Calm Koala]

I quess it will be herblore combined with farming

[Zierro]

It depends on what you define "useful" as. Useful could mean the one that makes you the most money (Runecrafting), the one that helps you survive battles longer (Cooking), the one that gets you around Runescape quicker (Agility), the one that boosts your combat the most (Herblore), or the one that has the most capabilities (Crafting).

I mean which one makes u the most money in the "future"

[Zierro]

Then that would definitely be Runecrafting, with Slayer behind it.

[D Jay99]

Farming herbs makes a lot of money for the time spent, great to do in between things.

 

A combo of runecrafting and farming would probably best for making money.

Well in truth I would say that the most useful non-combat skill is magic. And I realise that you did not include magic in one of the choices but Magic is not all combat. When I first thought about my answer, teleporting came to mind. Can you remember when laws were 1k each and the only teleport jewelry was the Glory? I can and I remember how tedious it was to walk everywhere. With higher magic and new spellbooks we can teleport all over the place (whether by teleporting or by enchanting) making this game much smaller in terms of time spent getting for point A to point B.

 

 

 

Next we have high alchemy and low alchemy. This has made skills such as fletching so much more beneficial. Instead of producing endless amounts of bows with no purpose, players can often make a profit by alching their bows. Skilling + money = win.

 

 

 

Lunar spellbook is another point of magic that offers many non-combat helps. Superglass make is one of if not my favorite spells. When buying seaweed from Ahrein in Catherby and getting sand from Bert, I used to just let it sit in my bank. Now I have a purpose for them and have a pretty nice crafting level to show for it ;D Plant cure, amulet string, plank make, etc The uses of magic, outside of combat make it one of the most versitile and useful skills.

Yes, magic rules. Imagine what it'd be like getting a terrordog task, finishing, then walking back to Duradel for your next assignment, which also happens to be terrordogs. Many people underestimate the usefulness of this skill.

Agility, even magic cant teleport you everywhere, and sometimes you need to run, and high agility is great for running as you get 100% run energy very quickly.

[SwimmyTheDuck]

I suppose it would be either Woodcutting, Mining, or Runecraft.

[Loffelicious]

For money; runecrafting combined with herb farming. I don't think anything beats money per hour with 92+ rc

[3hitm4g3u]

I would say agility.

 

 

 

Agility in f2p.

[Atom Smash40]

I suppose it would be either Woodcutting, Mining, or Runecraft.

 

yes.

 

 

 

but it also depends on what that player does. if he GWD, then hed prefer herb so he can make his own sara brews. if he likes RC but doesnt want to buy ess, hed want mining. it all depends on what the player's preference is. fletchers would find woodcutting very useful, and cookers would find fishing very useful. it all varies

[The Observer]

Skills don't always have to be used for money. I'd say Agility because it allows you to finish so many quests and to enter areas or secret areas which can save you or unlock new monsters/resources.

[BabyPunchers]

Slayer. \

[Ollyc3]

Runecrafting, its the answer to everything, evar

Can't deny it. :twss:

[abbydog95]

[No_99_Melee]

Firemaking

[magmaguard3]

Runecrafting gets you the most money.

[123_x_pac]

Actually, all the non-combats are useful.

[BiJay]

Firemaking

Most skills are useful. You should enjoy the full game if you want the best out of it. :)
