Training Combat

[Luinrodwen]

I know this has been asked a lot, but what is the best way for me to train my combat?

 

I have:

 

Attack: 74

Strength: 74

Defence: 75

Constitution: 74

Ranged: 53

Prayer: 53

Magic: 65

Slayer: 52

Summoning: 23

 

combat level: 94

 

My equipment is: dragon med helm, obby cape, ammy of glory, rune plate, d skirt, d boots, rune kite shield, ROW, addy gloves (i think) and a whip. I have been working on getting a d defender. I don't have much money. What else should I be saving up and working for?

get black mask and full slayer helm when you can.

 

& do smoking kills, dont remember the quest very well but it should be easy enough. also work on getting a dragon defender, highest rfd gloves

[Th e Doctor]

D med...swap this out for a berserker helm/neit helm/black mask/slayer helm ASAP.

 

Obby Cape can be swapped for your highest ardy cape to at least get some prayer bonus.

 

Swap the rune plate with a prossy top and the d skirt with veracs skirt.

 

Rune kite...even an adamant defender would be better. Swap this out first, get a dragon defender.

 

RoW is useless, get a berserker ring.

 

Also get your highest RFD gloves to barrows level.

 

If you're low on cash you should be farming herbs. Farm toadflax/avantoe/kwuarm/ranarr/snapdragon/torstol depending on your farming level and access to farming jujus and a scroll of life. Do an herb run every 1.5 hours for at least 100 k profit per run (i make over 400 k a run with snaps using jujus and a scroll of life.)

 

Invest into MTK for another 1-3 mil a week.

 

Do your profitable dailies (broad bolttips/arrow tips from slayer masters and battlestaffs.) For another 500 k-1 mil a day.

 

You should be able to afford all of that equipment in less than a week easily.

thanks, but I have no clue what half the things you mentioned are! LOL

[pure_fett]

agreed with everything mentioned minus the ROW being worthless, with the update it's ok to use, especially if he doesn't have the cash to shell out for a zerker ring

As for the helmet: the best you can get/afford, depending on quests that you have done or cash available.

 

A prossy (proselythe) top is available after completing the "slug menace" quest, if I recall correctly (IIRC).

 

Juju potions are potions that increase herb yield. The can be made/unlocked doing Jadinko hunting in the herblore habitat. Scroll of life also enhances farming and is a dungeoneering reward.

 

Completing (parts of) the RFD (recipy for disaster) quest unlock s very good gloves, up to "barrows"gloves, which are (generally spoken) the best in the game for the glove spot.

 

Dailys (daily activities) can be very profitable. You can buy a certain amount of these items from npcs, and sell them for profit on the G.E. Broad bolt tips you can buy from any slayer master, make broad bolts from them and sell them for profit and a nice little bit of fletch xp. You may need the "smoking kills" quest for them to become available. Same goes for battle staffs from Naff (varrock), especially after completing the varrock tasks.

[Obtaurian]

Probably a little atypical as far as advice goes, but I think going for a quest cape is a great way for lower-level players to get levels, better gear, and some MHing experience (Nomad and other quest bosses).

 

I mean, it'll only benefit you in the long run to complete every quest, and you'll get a lot of combat experience (both literal and figurative) from it. You're at a low enough combat level to where doing quests will really help.

 

/two cents

[Th e Doctor]

RoW has no combat stats, hence doesn't speed up combat training, hence it is worthless. The update was only nice for the additional teleports.

 

The black mask/full slayer helm if you're leveling combat with slayer obviously. The berserker helm/neit helm if you arent doing it via slayer. Same str bonus, neit just has a prayer bonus as well.

 

Proselyte top, you get it from the quest series started at Sir Tiffy in falador park. Has a nice prayer bonus.

 

RFD=Recipe for Disaster, quest that rewards the best gloves in game. Do the quest as far as you can and use the highest level ones you can (goes from bronze through barrows).

 

A scroll of life is a reward from Dungeoneering that gives a chance at getting seeds back from living and dead patches of herbs, compensates almost completely for herb patch deaths in the long run of using it. Farming Juju potions are non tradeable potions from doing the Herblore Habitat activity that gives a 33% chance of harvesting a bonus herb on every pick of an herb patch. Makes farming snapdragons amazing for cash (when the boost kicks n you get two 11 k herbs as opposed to it kicking in for avantoe you'd get two 4 k herbs).

 

Check the shilo village slayer master. They are in the bottom row of his shops stock selection.

 

Edit

 

Kind of ninja'd :(

Do some quests

 

Unless you absolutely hate them.. Although it's a good idea to do all the "required" quests for neitz and barrows gloves and prossy and stuff asap.

 

If you enjoy quests do all that you can. Then train your skills and do some more

 

After that do slayer

 

Or just skip it all and do slayer
