How do you deal with long tasks?

Featured Replies

Hi,

so today i managed to get 63 - 70 crafting and i just started making oak larders to get 70 construction along with that. I want to blow my brains out right now.

 

How do you guys deal with long tasks and extensive grinding?

 

I got most of mine done through sxephil and a film, but now i dont really have much else to resort to, so Phil me in guys :)

 

Thanks.

Legalize baby punching. Tax and regulate it. Punch babies erry day.

Not meaning to troll, but how do these take long at all if even moderate, cost effective methods give at least 200k xp per hour?

 

OT: Just lurk around the internet.

Netflix, talking to friends, being in a good cc, or just grinding through the boredom until I got used to it is how I usually train.

Even if it's a dumb story, telling it changes other people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me. An infinitesimal change. And that infinitesimal change ripples outward-ever smaller but everlasting. I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter-maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.

At least 200k per hour? Someone hasn't done construction or crafting in a while.

 

I needed like 400k experience for crafting and 550k for construction, crafting took me like 3 hours (i started on gold amulets, lol) and so far construction has taken me about an hour to get 56 - 63.

 

Thanks for all the replies :)

This.

 

I play minecraft on my larger screen and have runescape on my smaller laptop screen. Xp seems to fly by because I dont check it all the time.

For tasks when i must pay full attention i do it about an hour at a time, or i get bored and quit.

For the rest of the skills i can watch videos, browse forums and that sort of stuff.

If it's something to which I have to be attentive (agility, mining), I only do it for little bits (30 mins), then take a break. For things like fishing, cooking, smithing, I read a book or check forums in separate window.

NETFLIX.

 

I watched Weeds and Dexter while getting 99 slayer, Nip/tuck from 80-110 DG. Now I need a new show :(

I have three monitors hooked up, so I have TIF, a movie, and Runescape open.

BBC iPlayer, a book, Angry Birds, Conquist, Civilization Revolution, homework, TV, music, TVtropes, Wiki, forums, Sporcle etc.

Whatever fits the gaps.

I don't have two monitors so I minimize the screen to fit the movie/anime/youtube video that I'm watching. If I'm browsing forums then I don't minimize it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops with my laptop running RS for AFKables.

I do a certain amount a day and/or watch TV shows while I do them.

This. I have my laptop hooked up to a TV ariel socket so on my laptop screen I have Runescape running and on my second monitor I have TV on (although in a few months I wont be able to do this anymore), usually watching music channels or repeats of Friends/Scrubs/Top Gear. I'll run through my usual haunts on the internet too if it's a more afkable method of training I'm doing.

Listen to music, catch up with programmes on bbc iplayer or channel 4, browse forums or a HYT skype call if there's one going on. :thumbsup:

Its changed throughout the years, before getting 60 attack took me what seemed foreverrrrrr. Now, training 70m dg xp wouldn't seem that huge. For things like MHing for lots of cash, I vary it. Mainly dks, but some tds/frosties. For buyables, I watch a vid/ read. For other things, talk on skype.

just recently I got 99 smithing through smelting gold bars, now I'm going for 90+ mining.

During this time I've been watching all the Pokemon Episodes in order starting from 1, including the movies. So far we're episode 105, and have watched the first 2 movies.

 

Other things would be YouTube, try to find a good Series of videos to watch, TV, forums.
