What is better for money? Combat or Skilling?

Featured Replies

I need some help here. Combat v.s. all the skills, which one is better for cash?

 

 

 

Regardless, in the end I will be using combat for money, once I get enough cash for all the gear I want and I reach my levels. But I need to know what is better to reach my goal.

 

 

 

I will need a whopping 46.7M for all the gear I want, not including the OTHER gear I want for pking, and other things, but I will probably be getting the cash for pking gear, etc. from combat (gwd :D).

 

 

 

Okay, enough babbling, I need your opinions. Fire away, and thanks for all responses :)

Combat has a better cash overall, with Green dragons and Aviancies for lower levels and bosses for the higher end. Of course, Rune mining and Runecrafting bring in some decent cash, but require a higher level and more effort to do.

Thanks :) are Avansies better cash per hour than Dragons? Because my range level is pitiful (only 50) so I might not be able to do them. I might continue to train until I am around level 114 and go with a clan/group/friends to godwars, but until then I think I'll just do Green Dragons (I average about 200-350K an hour there).

I can make 6.6M a day if I try.

 

I don't have to hope and base my profits on luck, because my method is secure.

 

 

 

Basically, skilling all the way. 8-)

If you haven't guessed it, he means by runecrafting. 91+ gives you the ability to make double natures. But if you don't have the patience to get 91 RC, then combat will be your best bet.

 

 

 

P.S. Nice sig, got to see the band in concert a couple months ago :thumbsup:

91 RC takes alot time, by that time 85 slayer can get big head start

 

 

 

Abyssal demons does not only drop Abyssal whip but more...

The answer to this question comes down to what you prefer to spend hours doing, and your personal style of play. Of course, if you can craft double nats or fletch rune bolts or cook mantas you will surely making more money more consistently than the average combat player. But I like combat. Last saturday I made over 10mill in 1 hour at barrows by pure freak luck (5 drops in 4 trips, including 2 dharok helms and an ahrims hood woot!!!). But even though its not a steady income I would much rather spend hours doing that than run from bank to abyss to altar to bank.

Who said it was for slayer? It might be for more then just regular combat, there is also range and magic as well as getting prayer and summoning levels.

=\

 

Whatever they drop, it's not constant. It's based on luck. Meaning, yeah, it could be nice to get a certain cash pile one day, but I'd like to see that cash pile dropped each day.

 

 

 

Skilling is a constant secure profit, you're not basing it on luck in hopes that you get something, rather the fact that you are getting something.

 

 

 

P.S, 91 RC can be achieved way faster than 85 slayer ever can through ZMI. Profits from ZMI alone should be around 20M.

Runecrafting all the way!! :thumbsup:

combat isn't always based on luck, but generally it is. But because some players have really bad luck jagex made something brilliant: Dragons, 4k guaranteed every drop at green dragons

 

 

 

but if you are looking for constant profit, you have most ways when skilling

Keep in mind though this is making 40k nats.(Crafting 20k essence)

 

But still, even if you did 10k, that's 3M or so, which I don't think is makable at green drags.

In my personal opinion 91 RC is the best money in the game (this along side merchanting)

 

 

 

Getting 91 RC is like 1 month of 4 hours a day.

Eh, 3m at green dragons is about 5 hours with maxed stats.

In five hours for me I make 6M.

 

And maxed stats will take way longer than 91 Runecrafting.

Wow, I want to train Runecrafting now :D

 

 

 

Problem is, my runecrafting is REALLY crap. Its only 20 :ohnoes: I might train it, maybe with 91 rcíng in mind, but I'm not sure. That amount of cash in a day sounds really good, and more consistent than combat. I am looking for a good amount of cash, rcíng may be the way to go :)

 

 

 

Thank you for the responses, I read them all. Combat is good cash, but I need consistent money. I'll work for my cash if I have to, even if it involves 91 runecrafting XD
