Help with Efficient Training

[Asianderpface]

Hi Tip.it Community,

 

I'm Chris and I'm new to Tip.it. I've been playing F2P since 2006 and I've always had a problem with training efficiently, i.e., getting sidetracked and distracted. I've also just started high school with 4 AP classes, and I can only usually afk fishing or woodcutting while doing homework, etc.

 

My long term goals:

 

71/80- Woodcutting

63/80-Fishing

86/99-Cooking

80/99-Firemaking

60/80-Mining

45/70-Prayer

75/80-Magic

56/80-Ranged

70/85-Strength

65/99-Attack

66/99-Constitution

 

My question is, is there any ways to maximize XP Gain while not having much time/ having to do other things?

Activities with restrictions based on real time, such as farming, penguins, troll invasions etc. tend to have very high returns per unit of time invested. For example, farming is a good 4m/hr profit, you just can't do very much of it per day. You don't quite have the stats to do the most profitable dailies but you can work on them, and penguins etc. are always open. Check the excellent (if slightly outdated) guide here.

I know Penguins are really good xp, but I am F2P :(

If you want to be efficient get a sunday paper-round and use the money to buy membership. The time saved through the faster methods of training available to members will easily make up for the time spent doing the paper-round.

I prefer picking up pennies from the city centre for 5 mins per month to pay for my membership.

So let's just ignore everyone telling you to go p2p as that's not at all the question you asked. Basically you need the most afkable ways to get these goals in F2P.

 

Woodcutting: cut willows. It's quite afkable, and is the best xp/hr you can get in F2P. If you wish to kill a chunk of that fming xp as well, you can make a bonfire on the spot with the logs, which is also afkable. Best area: Wcing island resource dungeon off the coast of Daemonheim. You can bring woodcutting urns as well, they're really cheap to buy, and will boost your xp/hr.

 

Fishing: Fly fishing would be the best xp/hr, but if you want something fully afkable fish lobsters on karamja and note using stiles. Noting takes around 25seconds, so thats all the attention you need to pay every few minutes. Bringing fishing urns will speed it up, whether you do fly fishing at barb river or lobsters. However, it will cut into your profit if you buy them, or take time to make them.

 

Cooking: Salmon/trout until you reach 76, then do lobsters. Cook them on bonfires (extra 10% xp) and you'll even make some profit :P It's semi-afkable. You can pick up the salmon/trout at the barbarian river for free, or buy them (still gives profit, usually). Using cooking urns will speed this up, but it will cut into your profit to buy them, or take some time to make them, so it is up to you. You might be able to do tuna till 76 if it's profit, but i am not sure the prices at the current moment.

 

Firemaking: Do bonfires, using maples. Best xp/speed/gp logs you can light. If you can, make the bonfires at the grand exchange, so other people join in and boost your xp. It's afkable.

 

Mining: Well... unfortunately, you're out of luck. The only semi-afkable method is mining rune essence, and thats a very low 7K xp/hr. Best method would be mining iron in the dwarven mines and depositing it using the depo box in the resource dungeon. Its around 35K/hr. If you drop mine, you can get to 45K/hr but no profit. Using Mining Urns helps speed things up.

 

Prayer: Kind of out of luck here as well. You'll either have to buy big bones and bury (expensive, I know) or kill something that drops them. Hill / Moss / Ice giants are usually the popular choice to kill for bones. They also die quickly via range (a good way to train that as well) but regardless, it will take awhile unless you invest some gpees and buy them.

 

Magic: Unfortunately there's no really good afkable way to train it. If you kill giants for bones as I mentioned above, you can mage them, but you have to make sure you find a safespot and that can be a pain, + its not that great xp/hr. The best method is high-level alchemizing something that gives you profit (it's fast xp) but you will have to be paying attention.

 

Ranged: If you want something fully afkable, just train at Fleshcrawlers on floor 2 of the Stronghold Of Security. Gear: Rune full helm + platelegs, d'hide body, power ammy. As for what weapon to use, maple shortbow will give you the fastest xp, and use iron arrows. If you don't have the GP needed to invest in iron arrows, use a sling. Slinging = virtually same xp/hr as using bronze arrows, for free. It won't be fast xp, but it's very easy to train.

 

Strength/Attack/Constitution: Best place in F2P is the giant spiders in the Stronghold Of Security, floor 3. Wear full rune, power or str ammy, scimmy, etc. It's fully afkable, so works well. You can boost your xp/hr by using strength potions, and praying (there is a monastery very close where you can recharge prayer). Also, you don't need to worry about food, as there is always an abundance of free salmon drops by the river in barbarian village. If you're worried about dieing, you can train at fleshcrawlers like range, but spiders are faster xp.

 

Hopefully that answered your question well enough in detail. Sorry if the post turned out a bit long :P

 

Happy 'Scaping.

Thanks for the guide, but I already have 86 Cooking, isn't lobsters better for training then?
