tazo6114 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 All mine is going to RC when I do the quest :P Runecrafting is tempting since it is such a HUGE PAIN to train. On the other hand, runecrafting, unlike some other skills, actually has a little payoff as you train it up. That's a tough tradeoff to decide -- pain v. money. Unless of course the exp puts you up to a level where you can get an extra rune per essence, in which case the time it took you to get that level without the exp boost could be used after the exp boost and thus make even more money. So that is also a factor in deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natedoggygog Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I used it all on slayer, I felt a bit bad about it, but seeming as I make money off of rc, and I was 82 slayer at the time, it was very, very tempting.

Grasle Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 It requires the skill to be 65+. I didn't spend my points right away after the quest. And haven't sold my dragon lump yet. Look at the prices rise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexDT Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Slayer, simply because I really need money. And I loathe training the skill. I know, I'm terrible :? But of course, I can only do this after someone sells me 300 kwuarms, which could take more than just a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirHartlar Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'll use 100k on Agility and Hunter, getting me ridiculously close to 75 and 70 respectively. The other 200k? No idea. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transcript80 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 For me: I HATE agility, and I have been wanting lvl 70 for some time now, so that would take 200k for me. As for the other 200k: I have some choices I have to make up my mind about: Runcrafting: It is low, and takes forever to train Smithing: slow, costly, and I want 70 so I could smelt Adamant. Hunter: I dont like to train it, but it is low. Construction: money sink, don't like to train it. But then agfain, 100% buyable so I might send some of the 10M quest reward on it. Summoning: I don't like to train it, but lvl 68 for bunyip is really handy... Might use some of the 10M on it as well... Questions, questions.....Where are the answers?

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I won't get a chance to do this quest until probably late December or early January (finals, job, registration, etc), but when I do, I'm at an impasse as to which skill to put it all in. Contenders are Smithing, Slayer, Summoning, and Crafting. Can't see putting it in any other skill since it's simple enough to train them (yes, even Mining - I'm just praying for an update to it so I can get started on it again). Maybe I'll use it on Smithing. Or Slayer. Or Smithing. Geez...

Johannas Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 From what i read on other websites - the exp has to go towards a skill that is above level 65. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheynara Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I used 200k on Farming and 200k on Herblore, by far my slowest skills to train as they are in my lowest 3. The xp increased each by a level to 87 for both. Why? Thieving is lower than both of them but the xp is quick so not worth using it on. Runecrafting is slow, but its a skill that makes money. Herblore and Farming however are both expensive and slow, therefor both well worth the xp used on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daigotsu Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Heh, my Herblore and Farming are already 99, those weren't my training nightmares. I did: 200K for Summoning, which with last week's Penguin Points bonus got me to 83, a temporary target level (Lava Titans, Spirit Dagannoths). 200K for Runecrafting, which pushed me well into level 75 (Giant Pouch use) -- while RC is a moneymaker, I find training it to be mind-numbing. If you use it for Mining, I feel you're wasting it -- much more fun to chase shooting stars for a while to raise that skill. Smithing, Prayer, and Construction aren't bad -- all expensive to train. Agility maybe, as it is a repeating clickfest with slow gains and no produced goods. D 2009 Member Goals: Undetermined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randox Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I would probably be torn between RC (hate), slayer (hate), farming (hate), summoning (woule hate if I trained), herblore (painful), theiving (wouldnt chose this one), and agility. I think 100k to each of: RC, farm, slayer, summoning Failing in that, I would put 200k to summoning and slayer. I would not chose RC because it is not a skill I use nor is it generaly a quest restriction. I can put penguin points into it if I need to.

JJG Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 all 400k goign towards slayer for me, that'll save the most time imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well, the skill needs to be over 65 anyway, but When I use tomes, I go with whatever is difficult to train (usually summoning). If I have a lamp, i simply use it on whatever will give me another level. Ok... Im not that good. But I have an anchor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Profins Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 [sarcasm]put it all on cooking, firemaking, or fletching!!![/sarcasm] but seriously, it's all about what you want. Put it all on that lv 1 skill you've been putting off and shoot up to level 60ish, or you can put it on prayer and save youself a headache and a half. It allows you to do only if youre 65+ in the skill. Personally, I'd do either the longest/hardest or most expensive one and ONLY if I'm sure I'll be needing it and that it's really hard/expensive. And 400k isn't all that awesome, say for level 80+ it's what? 2? Maximum 3 levels. For 90+ probably not even gonna level. Anyway, I'd put it on either herblore, slayer, summoning. Not sure yet. I still have 6 quests and a bit of training till I can do it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stev Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 You can wait until you want to cash in on the 400K reward. You have to have over level 65 in the skill that you want to up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatballr Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'd say put it towards a skill that is very slow (HP, slayer, RC) Nah definitely not slayer or HP. When you train slayer, you are slowly training 3 to 6 different skills at a time. Slayer+HP+Range Slayer+HP+Magic Slayer+HP+One melee stat, or all 3 if controlled whip Plus a little bit of summoning if you use Bunyip/Tortoise or whatever. RC is ftl as far as xp goes and it would be stupid to put 400k xp towards hp or slayer This logic is wrong. You can get more RC exp and profit in an hour than you could from Slayer. Slayer is hands down the slowest skill to train in the game([possibly 2nd slowest with mining taking the #1 spot). Though you are losing out on 400k's worth of melee exp (which would of been a good chunk of exp, at least 1m exp I think) you are gaining the fastest 400k slayer exp you could of ever gotten otherwise. Take the time it takes you to get 400k slayer exp, you can grind out more exp in the combat stats than you could of ever gotten with training them with slayer. Thus making slayer the most logical choice in my eyes. You can also spend it on mining which is around the same speed as if no slower than slayer, since it maxes out at 50k exp in an hour. Apparently, my signature was to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I used: 100k on slayer - was 60k off 80 slayer so yeah 200k on summoning - 68-71 summon 100k on prayer. Want to be my friend?

Outsanity Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 All 400,000 went to Slayer and brought me 211k away from 97 Slayer. I will be doing my penguins today for another 36k slayer exp, bringing me only 175k away from the level. I'd say I made a smart choice considering I chopped off about 20 hours of Slayer with the quest reward. :) |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 My quandrie is a bit different. I want construction to be my lowest skill as I hate training it so all my genies/tome and TOG go to it. However my construction and rc levels are close. As soon as my construction goes higher than my rc then I rc for a few hours and forget about it for another month or 2. Straight away I thought stick it all in construction. However that would mean making up 400k in rc XP in order to level them out again. Roughly 20 hours worth of work, I just don't want to do. I then thought about sticking it all in rc. This has the bonus of taking me to 75, for giant pouches and meaning I don't have to worry about rc again for ages. However it's a loss. 400k XP in terms of natures is a lot. However in the 20 hours I save I'm sure I can make that money. Other option for me is to put 200k on construction and 200k on rc. Then I'm in the same boat now which rather ruins the point of a reward. All other skills are a waste imoh. Anything combat related (and yes that includes slayer) can be levelled up perfectly fast enough without the extra. Agility isn't that slow once you hit 65-70 and mining is bearable with the star hunting. All other skills get you XP fast/cheap enough not to be an issue. Trust the Gene Genie!
