P2P 99 Firemaking after Free Trade update

[Sir_Sibz]

So we all know that free trade is coming back. Well, I'm planning on getting 99 Firemaking after 99 WC, and my original plan is to cut about 3.5k Magic logs, sell them, and buy 90k maple logs after burning the logs in my bank already (which takes me to 72 FM). Then I would burn all 90k maple logs. The only skill I have right now is woodcutting, so cutting magic logs is what I believe is the best option for money right now.

 

But here's my problem, with free trade coming back, I'm concerned about getting those maple logs at a decent price and now wondering how my magic logs will sell. And here are my questions - First of all, is this a good plan?(Answered) Second, should I be too overly concerned about how free trade might affect me on my goal to 99 FM? (My particular concern is obtaining 90k maple logs at a decent price.)

 

Also, I'm a skiller and all of my skills are at level 1 except for woodcutting and, of course, constitution.

You'd make more money picking swamp tar or spinning or picking flax than cutting magics.

[Tenebri]

magics are terrible money as said above there plenty of other ways to make money faster

Even at 99 WC? :o Alright, then I'll consider changing that part of my plan.

You can cut what, 100 magic logs in an hour? You can make 200k/hr just picking up herb spawns, or telegrabbing wines (which is f2p by the way, though it does require a magic level), or dailies.

^This.

 

You are better off doing a faster training method like cutting ivy and collecting the nests, and using the time that you saved doing moneymaking methods; whether it be herb spawns, spinning bowstrings, swamp tar, collecting fungus, swamp lizards or farming.

Or. If you do cut logs, go with yews? Yews are quicker, still offer wc xp, and would probably net you more profit should you fletch/alch them...

you'd still make more money killing level 2 men.

Invest in the items/levels for a decent money making source (unf pots w/ scroll of w/e it is, killing greens, solo maging rex, running sinister keys, barrows, gathering herblore seconds, dailies, and herb farming w/ juju pots and scroll of life are all good options) and then burn mages or yews for 99 fm.

I believe he's a skiller.

[Sir_Sibz]

Alright, so from what I've gathered - magics = bad idea. I should also clarify that my account that I'm using is a pure skiller so combat is out of the question. Activities like flax/spinning and gathering secondary herblore ingredients would be better. Ok

 

I guess then that leaves my second question still unanswered, although I don't know if anyone could really answer it.

 

Edit:

 

I believe he's a skiller.

 

Yes :)

[Aiel]

That still leaves making unf pots with scroll of cleansing (~2m per hour), herb farming(250-400k per 5 minutes), running sinister keys (~800k p/h), gathering herblore seconds (~1m p/h), and dailies (~400k per day as a skiller).

Ok, but I should probably point out that at this moment, all of my skills are level 1 except for woodcutting, which will be 99 by the time I finally begin my plan for getting ready for 99 FM.

You need dungeoneering levels for the scroll (about 57 of them). Farming levels are extremely easy to get (do potatoes first). Sinister keys require no levels whatsoever.

I like the farming idea; I'll start working on that after 99 WC. :) Otherwise, I'll look into sinister keys since I've never heard that before (probably missed it while I took my last 6 month break), and I'm not too into the idea of dungeoneering atm.

 

Thanks for your advice, everyone. :) My first question has been answered for now.

 

My last question still remains - should I worry about how the free trade update might affect maple log prices?

[Aiel]

~1000 maple logs come into the game every day per person who does MTK (probably 300,000+), there's a huge amount of supply, and no real demand as most high level FMers will realize yews/mages are more efficient at most incomes.
