Not sure if there is a topic like this already, oh well. Today I was training Agility and I got bored of the Ape Atoll course. I was remembering the time I was training at the Agility Areana. It's slower but more enjoyable (in my opinion). However, I just remained training at the Ape Atoll course as I wanted to train fast.

 

 

 

What do you seem to do? Do you choose your method of training because it's the fastest or what you enjoy the most, even if its slower to train.

I usually go by duration, depending on the skill. Most skills (such as Agility, Smithing, Thieving, and Fletching) go by duration. Skills like Farming, Woodcutting and Hunter, I go by enjoyment. It just depends on the skills :D

You mean efficiency vs fun? I just use whichever method I feel like, but I try to stay as efficient as I can.

Could say that. However, if you are going to be training by the fastest method and you don't like it, then it isn't very efficient in all areas.

Mirrorforced's article in the June 28th Tip.it Times discusses this very trend. Find it here

 

 

 

As for me, before I quit I would play in both styles. Often I just wanted to get a goal and have it over with, the reward of achieving it compensated for my time having not as much fun as just 'lax' skilling.

I'm F2P... the enjoyable ways to make experience are about 5k/hour, and the fast ways are around 30K/hour.

i usually go with duration as i find something fun when the xp comes in faster and the levls come in faster \ only time i dont use the most efficent method is when it is mind numbingly boring or im lossing obsurd amounts of money doing it.

If im skilling, I go for the more efficent way, but anything else I do to enjoy it. :

generally duration or cost effective,

 

 

 

however this does not always hold true for example, i love going to abbys for combat training

Ape atoll is more enjoyable in the guild world for it, and I did that instead of doresh. 8-)

I tend to do more enjoyable tasks more than tasks with less duration. You see, I do prefer the Agility Arena as well compared to agility courses.

Depends on which skill it is.

 

 

 

Mining. I hate granite mining, but I love just casual mining (mining and banking it).

 

 

 

Wcing is really all the same, so I'd be going for the fastest method possible.

I go for duration. It all just seems like clicking to me anyways.

Mining blows.

 

 

 

I use bots and never actually play the game. I dont even know what runescape is. :?:

May I suggest you equip a dragonfire shield for the moments to come? ;)

 

 

 

OT:I like traing a skill I love untill it just gets too tedious.

 

Then I'll take a break untill im ready to train that said skill again. :)

i find that sometimes getting super fast exp itself is the enjoyable part

Enjoyment. I fished monkfish and some sharks on my way to 15m fishing xp. I dont think I did even 1m xp in anything else other than when I was 1-62 fishing. But for some things I go with fast xp like firemaking, I burn eucs. Or prayer I use gilded altar with Dragon bones.

Depends on the skill, as others have said. For Slayer, my favorite skill, I go for max efficiency and speed because that's fun for me. For mining, another favorite skill, I tend to relax and just do gold mining or I hang out in the Grand Tree mine with superheat runes. For hunter I love Puro Puro.

 

 

 

Cooking and mining are the only two skills that I absolutely refuse to train efficiently. I enjoy making pies, damn it.

Funny, its these things that slow down my mage training.Yea I want to train at mta for ice barrage and veng to help my melee out,but dammit I love bolting blues n'farcasting at cwffa.:P

The real question is how you can enjoy the Agility Arena, AKA Hell's boot camp?

 

 

 

For me it's a little of both, but usually leaning more heavily on enjoyment.

Depends on what skill category for myself. Since I do 95% of my own work and don't buy levels, if there is a cost effective way then I usually go with it. Unless the cost effective way is going to take years as opposed to months.

 

 

 

Ex: I could mine all the ores to make nails and collect the regular plank spawns to train construction, but I am not going to do that.

 

 

 

For agility I go with the fastest points, as I don't intend to train it after 99 unless I max out almost everything else.

 

 

 

Magicplayak you only have 10 more levels for a new agility course.

Duration/efficiency, then I have more time to enjoy the better things :P

 

 

 

For some skills, I try to find a middle-grounds though, and train like that.

i almost always do more enjoyable methods, except if its a skill that i detest or if i need a level for a quest (example: Firemaking ;))

 

I doubt that ive trained more than 1k of my agility on anything other than the agility arena.

 

but its really up to you, if its more fun to have higher levels then do efficiency

I pretty much always do things efficiently. When I do it the fun, slow way I always get this bad feeling in my stomach of wasting my time (suppose that's happening anyway since I'm playing RS :lol: ).

 

 

 

Although lately slayer is all I do, and there's no way to train slayer that isn't fun :thumbup:

Hah, same! Sometimes when I try to do the fun method it becomes extremely inefficient because I get too bothered with the inefficiency and then I have to go all the way back to the bank and regroup to go to the efficient place #-o
