I've been playing RS casually over the last month, and saw that they are offering a free 1 week members trial. I have a Prepaid credit card with a few bucks on it, so I figured I might as well give it a try. Thing is, I have no clue where to even begin. I don't plan on continuing membership, so I don't want to get a whole bunch of members objects I wont be able to use. One one hand, Id kind of like to try some members only stuff out, but on the other maybe I should just train f2p skills, but in the faster members only ways.

 

tl;dr - Help me decide what to do on my 1 week of membership.

 

My stats - a bit out of date.

Spy penguins, trade in for the xp and do as many quests as possible :]

I'd say that the only skill drastically different in members than it is in free play is prayer, so i'd suggest you'd put as much time and money into that while you can, but i doubt you'd have too much money to spend with those stats. Other than that, i'd suggest trying out most of the members minigames, but with low stats, most of them might not be that fun either.

 

I think this belongs in H&A.

Are there any mid level (around 80) monsters that give good drops?

Ankous drop decent drops in P2P, and cockroach soldiers as well. If you are going to kill ankous, try to get a salve amulet from the quest.

 

I would try out slayer though if I were you with a combination of some quests. Whatever you do, make sure to have some fun. :)

Prayer is a good one. Get a ton of cash and altar bones for a week, 99 prayer optional.

Are you serious? How would he ever get enough money for 99 prayer in a week with those levels..?

Joking of course. And you would get the money on f2p, another of course.

Ah ok.

To the OP: Although, train prayer if you can in members. It is in fact extremely better XP than F2P.

Prayer for sure. Save up some money in F2P and spend it in P2P with a gilded altar. Get 43 at the minimum.

 

Runecrafting would be worth getting to 50 as well if you can manage it, and you could also try some ranged or magic.

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably try out slayer, do some quests and try some minigames. Not sure about the prayer though, I only have about 300k in my bank right now, and I don't play enough to get more quickly.

Honestly I'd wait till your skills are higher, but if you were to go run and do it now, do Fletching or Agility probably.

If I was in your position I'd try to get all member skills to 30 in that week so they are ranked on hiscores. It should be easily doable in a week I would think

Do what you want, try out some minigames and have fun :P

I would definitely go for it. You'll definitely want 43 prayer, and it's not getting any cheaper anytime soon, so you might as well bite the bullet while the iron is hot. So to speak.

so you might as well bite the bullet while the iron is hot. So to speak.

This is a pun... I think. Bullets are made of lead though. Are you referring to the barrel? That would indicate the bullet was just shot. If you can bite a speeding bullet, I suggest you start a circus act.

 

OT, I agree.

No, just a mixed metaphor. :-#

i got p2p as soon as i did dslayer.

 

 

in p2p: Do quests, do diaries. use guide. TAKE A RING OF LIFE EVERYWHERE (esp quests). once you get better states, you can probably forget it lol.

Just get members. $5 per month comes out to $.16 per day. Are you willing to save that much per day in order to play?

And isn't it actually $6?

Just get members, and keep members.

 

If you play actively, theres no real reason to be F2p outside a few special circumstances.

Errm, as far as i know, and i've been a member for around 5 years or so, it's 30 or 31 days of members for 5/6 dollars, thus it doesn't vary for different months.

When you buy by the month it gives you the number of days in that month.

 

When you buy in feb you get 28 days, in sept, april, june n nov 30 days and 31 in the rest.

If you have any gaming console a years membership is cheaper then a new game (a good one), I can for sure say that I play RS more then any of my xBox games and certainly more then some of the games I've spent 60$ on that turned out crappy.

 

Basically if you spend money on console games there is no reason you shouldn't on RS unless you don't play that much.
