Various skill training questions

[civie]

During BXPW I want to train Herblore, Agility and Summoning at least, with possibly Construction and/or RuneCrafting put in somewhere too.

 

I'd like some advice on the following:

 

Agility - Ape Atoll vs Pieing Gnome Advanced

Summoning - Tortoises/T'birds for Gold, Swamp Titans for Greens, but what for crimsons? I want to save the blues up untill I can make Geysers.

Construction - Butler Oak Larders/Dungeon Doors or something else?

RuneCrafting - ZMI or not at all?

 

I'am doing Herblore from self-gathered herbs, don't care a lot about OVLS.

Barker toads or Arctic bears with golds.

 

Granite lobsters with crimsons.

 

Pie gnome advanced.

 

Oak stuff until you can do mahogany tables.

 

ZMI for RC if you have time.

Do Agility or RC when the weekend starts to benefit from the biggest increase in xp (depends what you dislike more , from the 2).For agility I'd say go with Ape in the beginning and towards the end of the weekend go with Gnome.A fail at gnome will cause you to lose seconds and until you can pie to not fail you'll lose quite a few minutes from the bonus. For RC , yes go with ZMI and ofcourse get on lunar so you can repair the pouch/teleport around without losing time.

Construction is a fast skill already I'd leave this as the 3rd skill to train.I personally build dungeon doors using a demon butler.

Summoning is capped at 1.1 so there's no point in training until 10 hours(think it's 10) when the multiplier falls to 1.1. For golds I'd go with Barker Toad(can also gather your own seconds at the gnome stronghold if you wish). For greens I'd go with hydra(if you can be bothered to gather, make water orbs. Waterfiends drop quite a few water orbs) otherwise fruit bats/bunyips (seconds for other green summons are somewhat harder to get).For crimsons go with swamp titans(if you get level 85 with golds/greens) otherwise go with granite lobsters.Cut your granite now so you don't waste time cutting at the obelisk.

I was thinking of this order:

 

1. Herblore

2. Agility/RuneCrafting (can't decide yet)

3. Construction (mostly to save money, though I could of course use SCHammer for that...)

 

I got secondaries for Turtles, Tbirds and Swamp Titans myself, so that's why I want to do those instead of the more expensive ones.

 

I think I'll go with Fruit Bats for Greens, since converting them to scrolls might actually make a little profit, or at least break even. I'am more concerned about conserving/making money than exp (but (for example) 1gp profit with 100xp pouches >>> 100gp profit with <100xp pouches)

[Aslan]

Do your herblore, then rc to 80, then do construction(it's lower than agil/rc and it's going to save you more money by training it at higher multiplier).

 

Agility/RC aren't really worth training unless you go for effigy skills as they don't help you that much.Same thing cold be said about construction (once you get 75 <gilded altar> ).

Herblore helps you the most.

Does BXPW go for all skills except non combat? (ifso does that include dungeoneerin?

[Quyneax]

BXPW works for each skill, but some skills have xp boosts outside the xp weekend (prayer) which do not stack. Summoning is capped at 10% bonus xp.

Boosted xp, tokens aren't boosted.
