Most expensive skill to train?

use them on hard, slow skills or ones you hate, such as mining or runecrafting (though I like rc)

Construction, summoning, and herblore are the expensive ones. But ya use on something you dislike making money isn't realy that hard.

For me without a doubt it's summoning. You can have all the money you want but it still requires a lot of work collecting charms. Easy choice for xp from lamps.

Construction, prayer, summoning. Those are the ones for me.

 

Although I usually do not choose for xp lamps...

 

 

 

If you have a high prayer level (let's say 65-ish or higher) it is definetly worth it to do prayer.

 

If not, choose either one.. Tears of Guthix helps with the lowest stat too.

 

 

 

Keep in mind that xp lampst give you 10 times your level in xp (so 700 xp for a 70, 300 xp for a 30). :D

Either construction or herblore. Summoning gets cheaper once you can exchange pouches, so you're not producing junk and you can make some of your shards back to further your training.

 

 

 

I usually use lamps on construction.

Without a doubt, the lamp should go into Slayer xp.

 

 

 

As for the most expensive, it's Herblore (100M+ last time I checked) and not Construction (50m with sc hammers, 100m w/o). Summoning costs ~250M if you burst, but the actually summoning only costs 70m. Slayer, though, only gives 20k xp/hour which is extremely slow, so I would advise you use the lamps there.

It basically comes down to Time versus Money.

 

 

 

Is the amount of time to gain the experience you would from the lamp greater than the amount of money that you will be saving? If yes, then use it on a time skill such as Slayer or Farming.

 

 

 

Is the amount of money you're saving less than the amount of money you would make in the time that you can gain the experience you're getting? If yes, then use it on a money skill such as Construction, Prayer or Summoning.

Problem is, everybody makes enough money to make Slayer the best, by far.

I'd use it on RC. Although its a bit faster than Slayer if you ZMI, it's definitely more boring and more repetitive, while Slayer is more rewarding.

 

 

 

RC.

In all honesty, you really shouldn't use them on RC. Using lamps on a skill that profits isn't a good idea. I used 400k of my WGS rewards all on RC, and I've regretted it.
