Advice to noob :)

(This is slightly off-topic, but I just wanted to let you know that I could read your messages just fine... I was responding back to you, so it appears as if something is weird with your private chat... If you turn Split Private Chat on, it makes distinguishing Private chats much easier.)

Ok, I'll look into private chats.

 

 

 

Some other small noobish questions :) :

 

 

 

I'm at lvl30 range now. How much defence, attack, strength and such skills should I have to correspond that, being a ranger? I've killed cows to attack and str10, and def 20. Is this ok to go on with quests like Demon, Dragon slayer etc.?

 

(I realise I need range 40 for dragon armor)

[Kellis]

You should have no problem with demon slayer (with silverlight, he seriously dies in ~2 hits). Dragon slayer puts you against a level 79, so you might want to keep training for that one. Players have done it in iron armor with combat levels in the 40s so it's not terribly difficult though.

[mister_moocky]

Tnx all!

 

I've been reading some now, but I still havn't found a guide that shows me this:

 

 

 

where to lvl ranged 20 and up, and against what monsters .

 

 

 

what skills should be at what lvls when doing certain quests.

 

e.g. vampire, dragon and demon. so you don't have to die unnecessarily.

 

 

 

I read the ranged guide in beginning guides and like it, but it stops at lvl20. I hope it will be finished :)

 

 

 

1-10 chickens

 

10-20 cows (north of lumb, bank hides and meat in deposit boxes, cook and eat some if you have to)

 

20-40 minitours (underneath barbarian village, they drop lots of iron arrows, you'll end up with more than you started)

 

40-50 hill giants (crowded, but being ranger you should be fine; good prayer xp)

 

50-60 moss giants (crandor is great, bring alchs, pick up steel bars, runes, coins) use iron arrows

 

Get members at 60. Void recomended.

 

60-70 moss giants (due to herbs, seeds, and key halves, you'll make much more money as p2p) use steel arrows or knives of choice

 

70-80 CHOICE; fire giants for speed or ankous for profit. Could to avansies rather then ankous, another choice, avs make more, but I liked ankous

 

80-90 CHOICE; fire giants/monkey gaurds for speed or avansies for profit (to be spent on chins)

 

90-99 CHOICE; monkey gaurds or chinning monkey zombies (large cost, but fast xp)

 

 

 

The best set up for members is full void, amulet of fury > glory, ranger boots > snakeskin, unholy book > garbage, archer ring, with rune crossbow & broad bolts (55 slayer req) or knives.

Well, considering that he is a self-confessed newb I think that would mainly just confuse him. I don't know if you are a member or not. I suggest getting all of your combat-oriented skills up if that character will be the one you are going to be using mainly. Cows are perfect to do this as they can pay pretty well for F2P as well. After 40 range becomes a dry arid desert of updates. At 60+ it's pretty much useless to train(there's pretty much no point, the only differences is in slight amount of damages). I personally suggest getting your defense up a good bit, as, not only do you need it for the armour, it gives all around defense bonuses, allowing you to last longer at more dangerous training spots.

First off i would like to welcome you to tif. a forum with a mature community that is very active :thumbsup:

 

 

 

You can feel free to add me. my username is: Pyro Xeron (notice there is a space)

 

 

 

As a fellow f2per i think i might help :

 

 

 

Training efficiently is very important in Runescape. Unfortunately there r just so many skills out there it is kind of hard to begin. try giving me a pm in runescape when im on or even on these forums.

[uterquechaos]

Tnx all! This is helpful to get going.

 

What I'm curuious about now is; how much xp do you get from what foe?

 

Do I get more xp from a lvl 13 goblin than a lvl 5 goblin, or is it just that it takes more hits to kill it that gives me more xp?

 

Is there an xp chart somewhere that I havn't managed to find?

 

 

 

And how much xp do you get when using other skills. Hm.

[Kellis]

Experience is per point of damage done. If using controlled, it's 1.33 exp for each point of damage you do to Attack, Strength, and Defence. If you're only training one stat, aka attack, you'll gain 4 exp to attack for each point of damage you do. Higher levelled enemies have more hit points, so you gain more experience for killing them because you do more points of damage.

i see that your training combat right now which if good.

 

 

 

Now when you are fighting always fight something that you can kill easily. Its not good to struggle with a creature and wastes tons of food to kill it. Think about if u fight a strong creature use up ur food quickly and go to bank... u waste so much time when u can rather be making more kills for better xp. At your level i strongly suggest just sticking to cows. Combat levels dont matter much to npcs and cows r great xp! + bank the hides for money :thumbsup:

 

 

 

again...

 

 

 

if u seriously have any questions feel free to pm me ingame or on the forums.

[CowsEatFood]

With other skills, it all depends on what you're doing (noncombat that is).

 

 

 

The rs manual (on the homepage, its under the game guide button on the top) has all of the xp listings for the skills, which should help you out a lot.

[PlatinumPixey]

I'm totally new in f2p, and feel that I'm leveling very slowly.

 

 

 

Is there a guide here that show where and how I can level as effective as possible? A leveling guide for beginners.

 

I'm a ranger with lvl20 ranged so far, lvl15 combat and lvl 1 defense :/

 

(How does defense go up?)

 

Didn't stand a chance against the stinkin vampire in Draynor manor, and lost my funny hat :( I got in special encounter with a weird hunter that sent me to a glade to kill a 3 tailed birdie.

 

 

 

Anyway, help please?

 

 

 

You my friend are not the only one who had this problem starting out. I had NO idea what I was doing in the game till I met someone while I was mining Pure Essence with a bronze pick axe when I could clearly use Mith. I had no idea about the different picks. So I was talking to this person and they asked me what my lvls were and I told them and they asked me why I was using bronze still. They then explained to me why and was nice enough to help me get one. They also helped me out with combat because like you I didn't know how to train the other combat styles.

 

 

 

You're lucky to have found tipit so early in your RS life because it will teach you allot about whatever you want to know. The RS Knowledge Base is helpful to but there are allot of things that Jagex like's to leave out that Tipit is kind enough to fill in those holes. GL

[uterquechaos]

Yes, you're right that this is a place of great help! And of nice ppl wanting to help out :)

 

Now that I've read some of (they're huge..:) the beginner and combat guide, I realize I've been asking questions that I could've read up on myself. But when I posted this, I didn't even know the guides existed.

 

Finding tipit was just random, after having played for a while, I thought that there's probably a fan site somwhere, googled RS and found my way here and to rune hq. Havn't been there much though, I seem to like it here :)
