What combat skill, Range or Mage, should I get 99 on? (F2P)

[iamhellzwood]

I was at first going for 99 range, but it's just way to slow. I have to keep clicking and clicking, and I am short. The only good thing is I own in PVP, and 99 range=ownage.

 

 

 

I really want to get 99 mage because it's fast, but there is not much use of it in f2p except for tele block (lvl 85 mage). What should I get, 99 range or mage?

 

 

 

No duh in mems I can get 99 range in 2 weeks (with the correct amount of money of course)

Either one of those is going to be rough on F2P

 

Get them to a reasonable level then get members as those 2 are much, much easier and quicker to train in P2P.

[Zierro]

I agree that they are easier on members. If you don't have a choice, I'd stick with Ranged, because mages are weaker than warrior in F2P.

Lets see,

 

 

 

................Members...........................F2p

 

Magic.........120k xp/h.........................75k xp/h (bolt enchanting/plank making, bursting opposed to alching)

 

Ranged.......260k xp/h.........................35k xp/h (grey chins opposed to lesser demons or whatever)

 

Melee.........100k xp/h.........................35k xp/h (armoured zombies compared to spiers or whatever)

 

 

 

So xp wise, magic seems to be the closest to the rate of p2p. However, magic is the least ufeful of these 3 (for f2p, magic stops at 60, maybe 85 for teleblock). I'd pick melee or ranged because of the usefulness. If you plan on getting members soon, I'd postpone these 2 though and go for magic.
