Some random tips

[AvatarGrega]

Remember when you get a random event box and don't know what to get?

Well, if you want some easy cash, try to look a bit and see if you can find half keys, snapdragons or rannars. They are noted, so don't worry about the space, it'll only take up one space.

 

When Runecrafting at ZMI, you sometimes don't have glories to repair pouches... Well, now you don't need them. Just contact Dark Mage trough NPC contact spell and he'll repair your pouches! It's alot faster than going to Abyss.

 

When you don't have time to actually play the game, farm. It only takes up to 30 minutes a day and you can earn alot if you farm herbs. You can plant 10 normal trees, 5 fruit trees and do up to 10 herb runs a day! All you have to do is log in to farm the herbs and log out, it's as simple as that. Just make sure you buy supercompost, teleport runes and seeds before you start massive farming. It might save you alot of time in a long run.

 

When Slaying, don't walk to slayer master... Doing this you can lost 14 hours to 99 Slayer, just with walking to slayer master. You can use a spell NPC contact, which is alot faster. Almost all slayer masters are there and you can get a new task in less than 15 seconds.

If you have a random event box and don't know what to get it would imply you don't want/need "easy money" therefore lamps and other xp givers are the best option. They all add up in the long run.

 

If you don't have time to play the game, then you wouldn't have half an hour to farm. There are only 5 tree patches, not 10. Again if you dont have time to play your not gonna do 10 herb runs a day.

 

Contact other CAN be good, but in other ways it cna be fail. As it takes up inventory space that culd be used for drops when ur in locations far from banks. Equally Summona, Duradel/Laplok and Kuradal can all be accessed very very quickly via teleports.

 

House portal in pollnivneach = next to summona

Karamja gloves 3 = about 20 seconds or so run from duradel/laplok

Fairy ring = 10 sec run from kuradal.

Fercious ring = right beside kuradal.

Hey, he was giving random advice, not asking for random destructive comments. :blink: Here's my two cents on what he said:

 

Some people do need help knowing which choice is most profitable out of the ones available to them. He did pick great ones for pure cash. There are trade-offs where experience in a skill you're training may cost more with the method you're using (in which case, the XP lamp/book may outweigh the cash from items).

 

I believe Grega means something more along the lines of, "if you don't have much time to play the game," or, "if the time available to you only comes in 5-15 minute intervals," farming is a great option for training. Also, while there are only five tree patches, Grega has taken into account the fact that you can farm them twice a day (they grow much faster than fruit trees, if you did not know--great tip for those aspiring to 99 quickly). He didn't say there were 10 patches.

 

Let's imagine you use the methods Paw has described for traveling to Slayer masters. They are quite good, although even better for Sumona is using a Ring of Slaying. If you use the Fairy Ring to reach Kuradal, also use a Ring of Slaying to travel first to Relleka where there is a handy Fairy Ring. Remember that if you use a method other than NPC Contact to get your every task, after receiving it from a master you still then need to travel to a bank to prepare for your task anyway. (Someone using NPC Contact can get their task from right inside a bank if they wish, possibly saving them more time than you think you've saved by traveling to the NPC and then going to the bank.) Imagine you save only 5 hours in this process to 99 (I think 10+ is probably likely, though). Does anyone really believe that saving an extra two drops worth maybe 2k-10k per task will outweigh the gp you could garner in 5 hours of moneymaking using your best method? And it may be more than 5 hours you've saved! NPC Contact kicks butt for Slayer training speed until you can use Kuradal, where I think it is more ambiguous. At that point, if you have a glut of Ferocious Rings, it's probably faster traveling to her and then banking. One might find it useful to switch between these methods at the late stages of Slayer.

If you're on lunar you can't cast spells such as High Alch unless you can cast spellbook swap. If you don't high alch that means less room as you're not going to leave behind decent rune items. Also means you have less space due to the runes for NPC contact. Also if you're not 96 you need tabs to either get to your house and use the portals there or get tabs and teleport to locations there. Either way you have to teleport so bringing tabs with you to the master helps, and you are also able to restore prayer/summoning after getting a task.

 

Also some people like to skip/block tasks, which result in them having to go to the master any way just to get a new task.

Yes, I forgot to mention tabs. They do help a lot. And you're right that you get more advantage at 96 Magic than before it. Too bad tabs aren't available for alching, saving an inventory space... <_<

 

NPC Contact runes don't need to be carried during a task. You can use them from the bank where you must go on any route before starting your next task. If you have a piece of jewelry or home tele, you can use that to get to a bank fast after your task.

 

You also have a good point about blocking tasks, if people aren't willing to tackle them. I currently only have three blocked because I like doing the rest, but this probably applies for some.

AvatarGrega, thank you for starting this thread. I do appreciate the tips you gave. As for the needed runes taking up space, why not do it at the cw bank "prior" to refilling pouches?

 

Paw_Claw, your tips are, also, good; however, you are incorrect about their only being 5 tree patches. There are 5 "regular" tree patches and there are, also, 5 "fruit" tree patches. There is also the Calquat tree patch and the Spirit tree patch. All this totals 12 tree patches.

 

Regular tree patches: Varrock, Lumbridge, Falador, Taverly & Gnome Stronghold

 

Fruit tree patches: Catherby, Brimhaven, Gnome Village, Gnome Stronghold & Lletya

 

Calquat patch: Karamja near TB village

 

Spirit tree: I placed mine at Brimhaven for easier running of my trees; but it can be placed at Ecte if you're doing bushes.

 

Tip for getting charms if you don't have much time in game: Fight Bork daily. It takes less than 20 minutes and you get 5 blue, 7 crimson, 2 green & (if you also kill his little helpers) a few golds.

 

Tip for making money: Collect the 64 battlestaffs each day (7k each) & sell at Ge for nice profit.

While they are some useful tips, this isn't the forum to post them. This is to ask for questions, there's actually a specific thread in General Guides, Laura's Tips for Everday 'Scaping. People looking for small tips would look there vs. here, as most people here are either waiting to help someone, or ask a question.

The OP said 10 normal trees and 5 fruit trees, so Paw was correct.

Vulxai, thank you for directing us to that good thread!

 

Grega is correct about the trees, though. Let me explain it another way: he said you can plant 10 per day, not that there were 10 patches. You can plant each patch twice in a day. (This applies only to the tree patches, though, and not the fruit tree patches.)

Ah yes, I almost forgot that normal trees don't take forever like fruit trees do. I guess I just got into a habit of only running one run a day, and for some reason thought normal trees took quite a while too, but looking at the farming guide proved me otherwise.
