Higher level skilling advice (all 80+) *updated*

[Bdvo89]

Its been awhile since I trained the skills below.. as I have recently returned to only get back into quests/Slayer/summoning..

 

Could you confirm the below? If not, advise what is the FASTEST way to train the following? (keep in mind I am not worried about cash, and prefer 'afkable' methods lol etc..)

Could you also provide the xp/hour you recommend and any particular equipment that would be required to achieve max efficiency? Thanks!

 

Mining 80-90: gold ore?

Agility 80-90: ape atoll till 85 then extended gnome till 90?

Thieving 86-90: PP?

Runecrafting 77-80: ZMI?

Hunter 80-90: penguins?

 

*updated*

Prayer 95-99: Gilded altar /d bones. Is this worth doing, or should I let the bones I get from 94-99 slayer take a good chunk of this out for me?

Construction: Oak Dungeon Doors

Firemaking: I got the Eucalyptus in bank, are they worth selling/buying to do another log?

Summoning/Slayer: kuradel. I am 94 Slayer atm, and 85 summoning. How many charms would I have to collect to bring that on par? (rock lobs? waterfiends? abbys?)

 

Thanks in advance!

Mining 80-90 is best at concentrated gold rocks. You should also superheat the gold (w/ goldsmith gaunts) to get smithing xp. It's about 50K xp for both smithing and mining per hour.

Agility: no idea

Thieving: Menaphites are a little bit faster (220K+) if you got the techniques down, but PP is a lot easier

RC: Yeah ZMI is about 45K an hour I think

Hunter: Not to sure but i think barehanded butterflies are fast

Mining: Gold ore in Living Rock Caverns. Buy a dragon pickaxe (you can sell it when done) and wear Varrock armour 3. There is a tradeoff here as well: you can use a busy world that will lag more or an empty world where you will take damage. Another option is to bring nature runes and a fire/lava staff and superheat the ore as it appears in your inventory for smithing and magic. However, since smithing exp can be gained quite quickly, if you want to AFK you don't need to superheat as you mine.

 

You should use a BA horn at all times when mining. See the agility section for tips on filling the horn.

 

Agility: First off, use BA! Find some good BA teams (through irc, forums, or just go on w6 and look for people wearing BA gear who know what they're doing) and fill up the Penance Master Horn. This doubles the experience you get, and in agility it lasts for an hour of training or so per round of BA that takes less than 30 minutes each.

 

Courses: you stop failing gnome at 89 and barb at 93 (92 once you get Agile top + bottom). You should buy a lot of abyssal lurker pouches and make some scrolls - the scrolls boost your level +4. An alternative is summer pies which boost your level +5 but cost a lot more. You should do Ape Atoll until 81-83ish then switch over to the Gnome course, using a scroll each time your level drops. You will fail up till level 85, but at 85 you can scroll to 89 so you won't fail. Using the same logic, switch over to Barb at about 88 (you will fail a little bit but not too much). Remember - you will be getting twice as fast exp during the actual agility part so you can click faster (as you don't have to do it for as long).

 

Thieving: Below level 91 the fastest experience is blackjacking menaphite thugs. This is a click intensive method (so is PP but less so), so when your hand starts to fall off, you can go to PP for some slightly slower exp. Nothing much to this skill really, there are no tricks to speed up the exp. Just get a blackjack and some food for blackjacking or use a standard PP guide.

 

Runecrafting: ZMI is definitely the best exp at these levels, you should try a couple different pouch methods to see what works best. 4 pouches + lurker works best but sometimes a 3 pouch method can save you hassle and actually increase or maintain your exp rates. At that level you will profit a tiny bit but won't really notice a significant increase in your cashpile, it will mainly go towards more essence. I suggest doing penguins each week, using the world 60 clan chats, and using the points on RC exp.

 

Hunter: I got 99 hunter in January 2007, quite soon after its release, so I cannot accurately tell you what the best method to train today is. I did some time trials of penguins at 99 hunter and found them to be about the same exp rate as chinchompas, maybe a bit less. One handed butterfly catching is good at the higher levels but I'm not sure what the requirements are for each tier. There are always red chins, perhaps you could try a 1-spawn method to killing them? Finally there are pawya/grenwall which make quite a bit of cash in exchange for slower experience. Maybe another poster can fill you in.

Wow.

Thank you both..

As for my comments..

- I am 99 smith so am not worried about super heating (damit) lol

- Do you have links the to the blackjacking? BA?

 

Thanks a lot.

Look forward to puting this all to use, be flattered as I level :)

Btw I hear red chins are full of bots nowadays

 

Blackjacking is really really boring and hurts your hand, but the technique mostly involves timing the 2 pickpockets properly

Bring a uni if you can. Also, slayer ring teleports you directly there

 

There's also a lot less intensive strategies for thieving listed here from RSwiki

For Hunter, i would do Chins or Kebbits (I think?).. Kebbits can make upwards of 1m an hour hunting at llyeta.

 

86 to 90 theving should take no time at all doing PP, It's around 300k an hour or something at that level.

At Lletya you can hunt pawya/grenwall. I'm unaware of any Kebbit spots there so I think that's what you meant. It's definitely a serious cashmaker as grenwall spikes are used in extreme ranging potions.

 

300k/hr is an exaggeration - at the very highest levels (99+boost) PP can touch 260-275k, perhaps a tiny bit more using a team to call doors. It never hits 300k and certainly is under 225k before you get to 91.

 

 

 

Blackjacking: see the video sseli posted

BA: Read up about Barbarian Assault on the RS Wiki if needed. There are a lot of subtleties to this game so try to find a pro team and learn quick.

[Troacctid]

For agility, you should be potting up to use Gnome and Barbarian advanced courses. Summer pies might be a bit too expensive, but agility potions are dirt-cheap, so definitely start Gnome at 82 at Barb at 87.

 

You should ONLY be doing BA if you have a GOOD team. Or at least a team of friends who can agree not to quit before Wave 10. Otherwise it's so slow you'd be way better off just doing the extra laps. Don't even consider going to W6.

[tortilliachp]

hunter: butterflies. highest one you can do at any stage. note the significant agility exp you will also gain, making them even more superior to your other options in terms of exp.

 

 

agility: do hunter first, the two advanced courses are almost identical in exp per hour, do the one you fail the least or enjoy the most.

 

 

the other advice is good.

Is there a specific inventory needed for Gnomer/Barb? Or just bring agility pots? Food necessary?

 

Thanks everyone again!

W6 at BA has a small percentage of pro players who don't have set teams. You will need to look carefully for who these players are and look them up on highscores, but through w6 I have met almost everyone at the top of the BA highscores for their various roles.

 

Though the concept - NEVER do a round of BA with people wearing substandard gear who don't know what they're doing - is accurate.

Mining 80-90: gold ore? yes, although granite is technically faster

Agility 80-90: ape atoll till 85 then extended gnome till 90? yes

Thieving 86-90: PP? blackjacking

Hunter 80-90: penguins? assuming you mean iceburg penguins, yes

 

Thanks in advance!

Smoke Runes Guide, it's for smoke but it's pretty much the same method just using water instead of air runes; pretty decent exp if you get the pattern down.

Just the potions.

There is no need for food?

Nice!

[Quyneax]

You don't fail on the gnome course I believe, but you may need food for the barbarian one.

[Zaaps1]

Something like EE would do fine for food though, maybe bring something cheap like cakes.

[Bdvo89]

Thanks a lot everybody!

Keep it coming as I will compile this into a resource for higher level skillers :)

Dont worry, sources will be credited :)
