Where to start after getting P2P?

[Plugpoint]

I'm getting P2P back at the end of the month and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions as to where I should start? Looking mainly for items I should make sure I get (anything from useful stuff like Boots of Lightness, to armour for someone with combat stats around 90... anything you can think of really).

Also any quests I should do immediately would be a big help, whether it's a really useful quest or just one that's quite enjoyable.

 

I've not been a member since ~2009/10 so any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Thanks!

How much cash are you willing to spend?

 

 

Also, I just lurked this board alot when i first got mem, because there are so many different topics (besides money and stuff)

[Plugpoint]

Yeah I've been doing a lot of lurking too haha. I've got just over 30m at the moment, not sure how much of that to spend... ~15-20m maybe

SLAYER. Do smoking kills asap, buy decent slayer gear, and go crazy

Prossy top, veracs bottom, dragon defender, dragon boots, fury, berserkrr ring, fire cape, whip/chaotic rapier, full slayer helm, barrows gloves our Goliath gloves is a good place to start.

 

Upgrades are bandos chest and tassets, and kiln cape.

 

If at any point you have the cash + worth in items for piety, turmoil, extremes, or overloads sell the items and buy them (as long as it doesn't break your bank).

 

Q will be along with her slayer post soon with more info.

[Plugpoint]

Brilliant, that's a lot of help - thanks!

 

Definitely going to get a dragon defender and fire cape as soon as I can... was too much of a noob to attempt Jad before D:

Slay. All day err day.

[Quyneax]

Slayer's a pretty pointless skill unless you like it, so idk how that's going to work out for you. It doesn't make money and it's the slowest skill in the game by a long stretch. Some slayer help anyway:

[hide]

The base slayer gear is as follows (alternatives in brackets):

• [For all slayer monsters except those mentioned under other weapons] Chaotic rapier (whip)
  
• Bandos body + legs (Verac's skirt with either fighter torso or proselyte top)
  
• [Depending on prayer/accuracy needs] Fire cape/Soul Wars cape/Ardougne cloak 3
  
• Barrows gloves (your best rfd gloves, at least rune)
  
• Steadfast/Dragon boots (rune boots)
  
• Amulet of fury (glory)
  
• Dragon defender (rune defender)
  
• Berserker ring (i)/ferocious ring if slaying in Kuradal's Dungeon (berserker ring, warrior ring)
  
• [Most important] Full slayer helmet (Slayer helmet, black mask)
  
• [For magic defence on waterfiends/aquanites] Karil's top and elite void skirt (black dragonhide body and chaps)
  
• [Crush attacks to use on waterfiends] Chaotic maul (Saradomin sword, Zamorakian spear)
  
• [stab attacks for higher-levelled dragons, when not using rapier] Korasi's sword (Zamorakian spear, leaf-bladed sword)
  
• Task-specific items such as mirror shields, antifire shields/potions, elemental shields, rock hammers, crystal chimes
  
• Cannon (optional, up to personal preference)
  

Slayer setups generally emphasise strength bonus, which increases the average damage of each succesful hit (slayer monsters usually having rather low defence, hitting is not a problem). Secondly, prayer bonus is important to keep the cost of prayer potions down (as you slay with piety on, to increase the speed of your kills. This is cost-effective and highly recommended). As a rule of thumb, +10 prayer bonus or above is good, but don't overdo it (anything above +20 is a waste). Defence and accuracy bonus are usually not fretted over (any defence bonus over 200 will do; if you get hit too often you should be using a protection prayer). Dagganoth, black demon, black dragon, lesser demon, hellhound, bloodveld and spectre tasks should be cannoned, as it dramatically increases xp rates (although it costs a bit).

 

Some notes on gear: You'll want a fury and a berserker ring before you get bandos plate, and get that before tassets. You'll want accuracy bonus on higher-levelled dragons; if using stab attacks (which you should) you can use the Ardougne cloak 3 which provides you with +6 stab and +6 prayer bonus. Torso + sw cape and fire cape + proselyte are common cheap top/cape combinations; the former is better.

 

Some levels to get for slayer (in approximate order but I'm not sure on the summoning):

• 70 prayer and King's Ransom - piety
  
• 68 summoning - bunyip
  
• 81 dungeoneering (you need 2 million xp, which takes you to level 80, but allowing some tokens for the scroll of life) - rapier
  
• 89 herblore (85 with a +4 stew boost) - extreme potions, superantifires
  
• 95 prayer - turmoil and soul split
  
• 88 summoning - unicorn
  
• 96 herblore (91 with a +5 stew boost) - overload
  
• 99 summoning - steel titan
  

I'm sure I missed something but this is most of it.

[/hide]

 

Personally I would work on farming, summoning, Manage Thy Kingdom and piety (70 prayer & King's Ransom iirc). Dungeoneering to level 80-85 will be great too if you can use a chaotic rapier.

 

Remember that in P2P, you can use potions and prayers in combat all the time. It's crucial to getting a decent kill speed. Stock up on super sets and pray pots, you'll immediately notice a huge difference compared to F2P.

Wow, that's a lot of info haha. Will refer to that post the minute I start slaying. Thank you so much, that's ridiculously helpful!

 

Moving away from slayer because I think Quyneax has covered just about everything lol, what else should I consider doing? MTK and Piety are great suggestions, and more obvious stuff like lodestones, wicked hood, how to spend loyalty points, dailys etc would be appreciated because I tend to forget simple things like that >_<

[Naive]

Farming herbs is a pretty good moneymaker. Getting hunter and herblore up so you can take advantage of juju farming potions, plus some dungeoneering so you can buy the scroll of life will help very much.

 

And sign up for that loyalty program when you get mems. Dat Jack of Trades aura :)

Money making 101

 

Herb Runs

 

Without farming juju's or a scroll of life snapdragons are your best profit at around 23 k profit per patch, followed by toadflax at 20 k per patch. Once you get farming juju's and a scroll of life (and the greenfingers aura as high a tier as you can) those profits jump to 50 k per patch for snaps, 27 k per patch for toadflax. All in all you can realistically get in 4 herb runs a day minimum meaning 460-1000 k profit with snaps OR 400-540 k profit with toadflax. For a total of ~20 min worth of work.

 

profit/hour = 1.38 - 3 mil with snaps or 1.2 - 1.6 with toadflax (without and with farming juju/Scroll of Life respectively)

 

MTK

 

Take a look at grimy's daily profit spreadsheet for which resources to collect on the day you collect. His sheets can be found here. You'll want 1.35 mil in the coffers and 100% favour. Every 7 days go collect whatever is the highest %profit margin, redeposit the cash your citizens have taken and get your favour back up to 100% (teaks are the fastest way to do so I think?) At ~ 290% profit per gp your citizens take you're looking at 1.47 mil for the 525 k you invested (depending on luck with seeds in your maple nests).

 

profit/hour = 945000 profit for ~5 min of work -> 11.34 mil/hr

 

Dailies

 

Again, check grimy's sheet above for which dailies are worth doing. Personally I do battlestaffs in varrock, unf broad arrow and bolt tips from my slayer master, sand from bert on my way to buying the death runes from the mages guild, and seaweed from catherby. After that I use my wicked hood teleports to craft about 240 death runes (90 k) which for you will be less crafting (laws?) but still probably worth doing. Grimy's sheets have a profit per hour column for all of these activities except wicked hood so look there for that.

 

Do all of those activities while dungeoneering for a rapier and then frost dragons. Frost dragons at your stats will be around 1-2 mil per hour as well and much less frustrating than green dragons. Once you hit 74 farming you can start farming morchelli mushrooms for another 45 k profit every 4 hours for ~2 min of work or 1.35 mil per hour.

Go to your quest list and hit "Filter". That'll display all the quests you can currently complete. Then go down the list and start doing as many quests as possible.

 

Quests give you access to all sorts of rewards that help develop your character, and the xp bonuses they provide make questing one of the most efficient training methods in the game for many skills. The sooner you finish a quest, the more you'll benefit from it, so check off as many as you can, as soon as you can.

This, really. The xp boosts are better to be used on your levels while they are still low since the xp rewards save more time if used now.

Thanks everyone for your help so far, I really appreciate it :) so many things to do lol.

 

Just need a few levels til I can do every quest, so I'll train those asap and start working my way through the list
