Advice on Maxing

[Deletion]

Hi Guys,

 

I've finally reached the point in my RS career that Maxing (within a year or two) seems like a reachable goal. Below is my plan on how I will go about achieving this. Any advice or changes to my plans would be greatly appreciated. For now assume I have access to ~300m and can make atleast 2m/hr.

 

Skill, Current Level, Plan.

 

Defence - 85: Dagannoth Sentinels in the Dom Tower. Max Strength gear + Iron Titan + BGS spec.

 

Prayer - 95: Dragon Bones on my Guilded Altar.

 

Woodcutting - 95: Not sure. Arctic Pines when I want to pay attention, Ivy when I want to afk I would guess. Will do after Firemaking. Could combine with C2 fishing?

 

Fletching: - 90: Adamant bolts (if I can buy), or stringing Magic Longs.

 

Fishing - 82: C2 fishing and then rocktails when I get the level and want to afk. What is efficient if I get bored of C2?

 

Firemaking - 92: Jadinko Lair (will do prior to Wc).

 

Smithing - 83: Smelting gold with gaunts till 88 then Adamant Plates.

 

Mining - 82: LRC conc gold. Don't know the best method though I assume it's a combination of low-alching, mining juju, urns and lava titan.

 

Herblore - 96: Untradeables.

 

Agility - 86: Gnome stronghold advanced course. This will probably be my last 99. Will use all my bonus xp on this (Lamps, pengs, bonus xp).

 

Farming - 95: Will continue doing what I'm doing. Daily herb and tree runs. Shouldn't be a problem.

 

Runecrafting - 90: Runespan.

 

Hunter - 75: Jadinkos. Common until 80 then Draconics. I guess to get maximum xp I will need Zamorak favour, scentless and Arctic bear.

 

Summoning - 96: I have almost all the charms, will get the rest of them via Glacors.

 

Dungeoneering - 102: Continue what I've been doing.

 

 

Is this a good plan? I don't have any idea on order. If there's an efficient order please let me know.

 

Thanks for the help :)

You already have 99 slayer I assume?

 

If you get bored of c2 fishing, you can always do barbarian fishing.

[Deletion]

Yes, I'm 99 Slayer, and all the other skills I didn't mention. I have heard about barbarian fishing, but have no idea how to do it. Any suggestions?

[Gwasha]

For barbarian fishing you have to do the mini quest thing, which you can look up yourself. I suggest either setting up a ahk script to drop the fish or just low alch each one. Bring a couple granite lobsters and urns for some extra xp. This is not as fast as C2ing, but I guess it's an option to mix things up.

 

Your plan looks great, and the skills listed aren't related too much that your order doesn't really matter. Max cape doesn't require 120 dg, comp cape however does. If you're going for comp cape then you have some other problems.

[xSxqPowerx]

Just make sure to do stuff like Livid Farm before maxing, because it's a lot of experience wasted to be doing that for comp cape if you're already 99 in the relevant stats.

Gwasha: Thanks for that, will look into AHK. I did the miniquest for it a long time ago but can't remember it at all. The only two skill pairs I was really worried about were firemaking/woodcutting (Doing jadinko lair for fm first) and smithing/mining (I've heard it's common to superheat, but I don't know the method). Yeah I know I don't need 120 Dg for Max Cape, but Comp Cape seems like a reasonable goal for afterwards, plus I find Dg very fun so it's nice to break up the monotony of some skills with a couple of floors :) Say I am going for Comp Cape in the most efficient way possible (cf Max Cape) what other problems will I run into?

 

Sxq: That's a very good point. Is there anything else like livid farm that is worth doing before I max?

[Quyneax]

Mobilising Armies (+4 strength while training melee... not worth it as such but if you're maxing anyway...).

Temple Trekking is pretty good too, for all-round xp gains and the lumberjack set.

Any xp boosting sets you want to have obviously, gold mining being the most obvious one.

Make sure to get your tokhaar cape sooner rather than later as well.

If you haven't had a champion scroll drop yet, train defence on something that drops scrolls and is multicombat (I suggest abberant spectres with fsh(charged), salve, cannon, iron titan - bring a second fsh(e) to recharge).

 

You should look into bonfiring at arctic pines to spend less time doing firemaking/woodcutting separately. But it may be tedious.

 

You don't want to use bones on a guild-covered altar, try gold leaf. It's easier to come by.

 

Fletching, fletch broad arrows during Livid Farm. Makes both more bearable and it's efficient too :).

 

Combine smithing and mining, superheating while mining congold w/ lava titan and urns, dropping the bars. If you want to relax more, bring jujus, but it's slower xp in smithing.

 

Scentless are not required for max overall xp/hr afaik.

 

Most of these skills don't really affect eachother other than the above. Normally 99 summoning would help pvm etc. but since you're going to be using an iron titan anyway.

Thanks Quyneax, all of that is very helpful. I have Tokhaar, a 300+ MA rank, + multiple clue scrolls (got 4 Abberant Spectre ones on the way to 99 Slayer), and 99 Summoning banked (as of last night). I plan on finishing all the tasks I can so that means I might as well do temple-trekking asap.

 

As for fletching, is there any cheaper bolts/arrows that are worth doing? At 6-7gp/xp it seems like a whole lot of money for an extremely common 99.

 

With superheating at the LRC: Is AHK required for this? I tried Superheating + low alching recently and found that I couldn't low alch fast enough to be faster than I was mining. Or is there a trick I'm missing (like dropping is faster than low alch?)

 

I will find a guide for Arctic Pines, thanks for the suggestion :)

[Quyneax]

Broad arrows are a lot faster than the rest, about 200k xp/hr more than adamant bolts which are between half and a third of the cost (idk if they sell at a reasonable price). I don't think you'll finish 99 fletching @ Livid if you do adamant bolts. It's about 150-200k xp/hr with broad arrows, for about 45 hours (90-99 fletching is 7.8m xp). Adamant bolts would then be 90-120k xp/hr for 45 hours, leaving a few million xp past Livid.

Given that you can probably Nex well enough, broads would be a bit more efficient but only barely.

 

Dropping is faster than low alch and you don't need AHK. The trick is to click superheat (opens inventory), click the ore and right-click it before the magic interface shows up again (you have 1 tick). Then you can drop it from the magic tab and immediately reclick the rock.

And yes, when I finish my other goals I plan on joining DGS and learning to Dg efficiently.
