Edit: New questions about efficient (cheap) skilling

To Chaosxreigns:

 

 

 

First off, thanks for responding. About my herblore plan, I stated that I'd buy grimy herbs, clean them, add to a vial of water and then sell. Very, very slow exp, but at least I earn money off of it, lol.

 

 

 

I'm tempted to do superheating, but I doubt I'd profit considering I bought all the ores at maximum. I might do it anyways, since it'll be considerably faster.

 

 

 

 

 

To Inuashakent:

 

 

 

First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to respond. I've read your guides on slayer and summoning a number of times, and they are excellent reads.

 

 

 

I'm perfectly okay with training on green dragons, but my question now is: where? The ones in the wild? Personally, I'm deathly afraid of going into the wild due to revenants (I encountered an ork and hobgoblin when I did my last clue, although they didn't attack me because I was on the hill with the air obelisk), but I'm willing to try.

 

 

 

I'd use a gilded altar for training prayer, but sadly I don't have access to one (nor do I have the construction level necessary to build one). Heck, I don't even know how to use one...

 

 

 

Moss giants, surprisingly, do give a decent amount of exp/hour - I personally can get about 60k exp/hour using melee, and 45k exp/hour using ranged on the ones on Pirate's Cove.

 

 

 

I'm not planning on training summoning through golds, but that's all that moss giants seem to drop. Hopefully, if I switch to green dragons, I'll get something else other than golds...

 

 

 

Fishing has always been one of my favorite skills, so I'll probably alternate between barbarian fishing and monkfish. Another question is: should I keep the caviar? They are worth a fair bit (about 7k per inventory full), and I could use them for making my own super attack mixes for training. I can use the agility shortcut to the Gnome Stronghold too, by the way.

 

 

 

As for farming, I definitely agree about the hops - the blasted things always die on me, lol. Bushes I may get rid of, depending on how close they are to allotment patches. The evil turnip stays, though - 3.5k per turnip will help pay for farming, and it isn't too far out of the way. Allotments I'll probably get rid of, since I have a ton of supercompost to use (and over 350 watermelons in my bank, lol). If I run out, I'll buy more - it'll probably be cheaper that way.

 

 

 

I personally hate runecrafting, so the faster I get it done, the better. I still don't like using the abyss due to how dangerous it is, but I'll read into it a little further and try it that way. I still don't know what I'll do with the extra graahk pouches, though...

 

 

 

I've never played Stealing Creation before (I never like making a fool of myself, hence why I don't play too many minigames, lol), but I've always wanted to. I'll read into it and try it (hopefully soon).

 

 

 

 

 

Again, thanks for responding.

Personally, I'm deathly afraid of going into the wild due to revenants (I encountered an ork and hobgoblin when I did my last clue, although they didn't attack me because I was on the hill with the air obelisk), but I'm willing to try. Chaos tunnels. Once you get there, just kill Green dragons. In my slayer guide, look at the Baby black dragon's guide, and it should tell you how to get there.

 

 

 

I'd use a gilded altar for training prayer, but sadly I don't have access to one (nor do I have the construction level necessary to build one). Heck, I don't even know how to use one... Go to Runescape's official forums, and use the search functions. There's almost always one open. To use it, there are 2 altars, and you burn them with Marrantils (The house's owner will do this) and you use your bones on the altar for 3.5x xp.

 

 

 

Moss giants, surprisingly, do give a decent amount of exp/hour - I personally can get about 60k exp/hour using melee, and 45k exp/hour using ranged on the ones on Pirate's Cove. That's bad. Armored zombies give upward of 100k exp/hour (given, with higher stats) and give more money, and takes less clicking to top it off.

 

 

I'm not planning on training summoning through golds, but that's all that moss giants seem to drop. Hopefully, if I switch to green dragons, I'll get something else other than golds... Ggreen dragons don't drop much charms, so go to to Waterfiends.

They are worth a fair bit (about 7k per inventory full), and I could use them for making my own super attack mixes for training. I can use the agility shortcut to the Gnome Stronghold too, by the way. If you're going to barbarian fish, POWERFISH. Cut the fish, then drop them.

Don't do evil turnips. 3.5k is nowhere close to justify the time it takes to go to Draynor and farm. Just keep killing Green dragons, you'll be surprised at how much money they can make.

 

 

I personally hate runecrafting, so the faster I get it done, the better. I still don't like using the abyss due to how dangerous it is, but I'll read into it a little further and try it that way. I still don't know what I'll do with the extra graahk pouches, though... No, as in Graahk isn't fast. Do Abyss, although you seem to hate RC... so just do ZMI. It's FAST.

 

I've never played Stealing Creation before (I never like making a fool of myself, hence why I don't play too many minigames, lol), but I've always wanted to. I'll read into it and try it (hopefully soon). Runescape has an in-game tutorial you have to do.

 

 

 

 

Again, thanks for responding.

To Inuashakent:

 

 

 

Jeez, you responded fast.

 

 

 

I haven't done Defender of Varrock, but I'm most certainly willing to do it to gain access to these Armored Zombies. I've only heard good things about them, so I hope they aren't terribly crowded.

 

 

 

Do I even have the combat levels needed to hunt waterfiends? Also, is it crowded there?

 

 

 

I thought you were going to say drop the roe and caviar, lol. Yeah, it isn't that much additional cash, so I'll just use MouseKeys and drop them that way (assuming I can get the blasted thing to work properly).

 

 

 

I've got one turnip planted now, so I'll just carve and sell that along with the rest of my un-needed seeds.

 

 

 

I've heard a fair bit about ZMI, although I've never been there before. I have Lunar Magics, so could I just use the Ourania teleport to get there and bank in castle wars? Also, how close does the teleport put you to the altar itself?

 

 

 

As for the Stealing Creation thing, an in-game tutorial would definitely be helpful, but I'm still gonna look around on here for a decent strategy to use.

 

 

 

Thanks for responding, again.

Do I even have the combat levels needed to hunt waterfiends? Also, is it crowded there? Hmm... you're on the borderline. I would kill Green dragons to get 80-85 all stats first, I guess. And theres 2 spots to kill Waterfiends in the cave, kill them in the deeper parts.

 

 

 

I thought you were going to say drop the roe and caviar, lol. Yeah, it isn't that much additional cash, so I'll just use MouseKeys and drop them that way (assuming I can get the blasted thing to work properly). Oops. I meant to say don't cut the fish. Just drop.

Also, how close does the teleport put you to the altar itself? You bank at the Lunar bank, not Castle wars. But you got it.

 

 

As for the Stealing Creation thing, an in-game tutorial would definitely be helpful, but I'm still gonna look around on here for a decent strategy to use. It's really simple. Just do the in-game tutorial, play a few rounds, and you'll get it.

 

 

Thanks for responding, again.

You don't cut the fish then drop them. It's one or the other. If you cut them, you don't need to drop them, because you can use the roe and caviar as bait. (Just drop the fish offcuts.) If you do drop them, you drop them before cutting them so that it's faster, and you bring your own fishing bait. Dropping is faster and takes less attention, so it's better.

 

 

 

For firemaking, Port Phasmatys isn't the best place to burn. I recommend the Grand Exchange--it has the most open space, and you don't need to leave the bank to get to your burn line. I also recommend practicing backwards firemaking a little...it's faster than regular firemaking, and more interesting. (There should be a guide here that oughta help with that.)

[Inuashakent]

Yeah, I corrected myself in the second post.

 

 

 

Oops. I meant to say don't cut the fish. Just drop.

[LinkOlaran]

To Inuashakent:

 

 

 

For barbarian fishing, I'll just drop them, then. I'm probably gonna need a lot of feathers, though.

 

 

 

I just searched the forums for any guides on Stealing Creation, and came up with nothing. So, I'll just stick with whatever information the in game tutorial has to offer.

 

 

 

 

 

To troacctid:

 

 

 

Thanks for responding. I've already looked at the firemaking guide before, and, although I doubt my computer would put up with me trying the backwards burning method (it'll probably bluescreen or something, lol), it is a good suggestion. I might go to the grand exchange to do my burning, although it always busy there (usually with other firemakers).

You can use ordinary fishing bait. It's slightly cheaper.

[LinkOlaran]

To troacctid:

 

 

 

Okay then, I'll use fishing bait. Thanks for the advice.

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. I just did the Stealing Creation tutorial. Did anyone else notice anything... odd, about it? The name of the 'enemy' you encounter during the tutorial is named "grindxplox". A reference to the (relatively) new grind-x function of the ectofuntus, perhaps? Well, I thought it was funny...

Fishing shop in Shilo Village for feathers.Unlimited supply,6gp each.

Thanks for the tip about feathers, although fishing bait is still cheaper.

 

 

 

I have the Tip.It guide open now, thanks.
