I just completed the quest for MTK, and I'm working on the second one as I type this.... My question is what will make the most profit. I hear that max on trees is the way to go, but I'm not sure. So help would be appreciated.

 

I will also be collecting once a week.

9 maples, 6 coal

10 maples / 5 coal if you wait a long time to collect your goods.

I haven't actually done the math - but I think if you just let your popularity fall and collect once a week, you should get more nests from the woods.

However, if you keep your popularity up - it seems that you'll be getting more of a benefit from 10 maples/5 coals vs. 9 maples/6 coals

 

I've been trying to find somebody to compare my data to though.

However, rather then letting the popularity fall every day - I go once a day and rake the patches (literally takes about 10 seconds) on my bush runs.

Anybody interested to see how these numbers match up?

9 maples, 6 coal

this 9 maples gives the same amount of nests as 10 maples if you collect every day like i do

9 maples, 6 coal

this 9 maples gives the same amount of nests as 10 maples if you collect every day like i do

 

I don't understand this logic much.

If you're going to collect everyday - you're clearly in Miscellania.

 

If you're there - why not use the time to get your popularity up to 100% instead?

Then at the end of the week, you'll be getting more of a profit from

1.) 10 maples/5 coal VS. 2.) 9 maples /6 coals

If you're going to put in time there - might as well wait a couple more days and just reap the benefits :/

i am not already there but RoW has a teleport there where i get my popularity up everytime before i collect, i dont wait because well i have no patience and i am already there to get my popularity up

Don't quote me on this, but wasn't some research done to show that waiting has more of a benefit than collecting everyday due to decimals being involved? And since Jagex rounds down, you wait until those decimals add up to give you another number. Also similar research I have seen (again cannot provide as I cannot recall where I saw it, but I know it was on these forums) suggests that 9/6 is a better ratio than 10/5, as both 9 and 10 give the same amount, however 6 gets bumped up a tier over 5.

 

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but this is just going by my memory from previous advice given.

Thanks guys. I will be collecting once a week if that helps.

You do 10/5 for the better maple ratio which in turn increases your # of nests.

Since maple does give a slight profit (I believe it's actually pretty significant now) and the nests are supposedly the majority of your income - well, it makes sense that you get more maple.

 

The thing is if you collect daily on a 9/6, then you're getting the same amount of bird nests.

However if you go 10/5 and collect weekly - you'll end up with more bird nests

You quoted him on it. The irony...it kills ;)
