pulli23 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 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 fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

Chumley Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Since the re-work of the rewards the pick is now as good as a rune pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli23 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 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?)

AlexDT Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 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. Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper.

pulli23 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 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!
