Well I've finally came back after an unwanted long holiday from RS.. And I'm wondering: I own 50 proto tools: what shall I use them for?

 

 

 

Mining is one of the things I really like to get high asap: however is it still that the proto-pick mines as fast as a bronze pick? - Or is it more like a rune pickaxe nowadays?

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Since the re-work of the rewards the pick is now as good as a rune pick.

Nice, very nice indeed! - I assume it's also as fast as a rune axe? (or dragon?)

It is as fast as a rune pickaxe, and a rune axe for the woodcutting tool.

50 tools could get you about 2.5m construction exp, which, assuming you make about 300k/hr, would technically save you about 700k/hr. Or, if you want to use them on a less useless skill, you could get 2.5m smithing experience (not sure on the number, I'm pretty sure hammers last 50k experience). That's around level 85 smithing, which is pretty impressive.

 

 

 

I don't think proto-tools are practical if you use them for anything other than construction, smithing or crafting.

If you play SC alot (like me ;)), the woodcutting tools are pretty decent for power training on teaks. Haven't tried the pickaxe yet.

Well I would play SC 24/7: I really like it. So I'm especially going to use it for skills that help in SC, mining, crafting and smithing.... Construction I might do later too: but that's just too expensive for me atm!

 

 

 

Also for mining: Well for me 1 tool "survives" 45 mins, so that means in the time of collecting 1 tool (30 mins) + mining (45 mins) I get the xp I normally get from mining 1.5 hours: saving me 15 mins, or 1/6th of the time!
