Elucin8er's Brief Skilling Guide

[meb]

For the f2p'ers:

 

 

 

Runecrafting+woodcutting:

 

 

 

When crafting airs, take a woodcutting axe with you. When returning to Fally, stop at the yews there and get yourself a full load. Bank, repeat.

hey! seeing that post about how usefull agility is got me thinking... when i had to get 56 agil right when Regicide came out, the agility dungeon on Brimhaven was the best place to train. Why? It kept you active, and you got bonuses for doing it fast (so 45+ agil is really easy) in the form of tickets which can be exchanged for toadflax and/or snap dragon (used in agility pots and super restores), or you can exchange the tickets for even more agility exp, speeding things up enormously. Or heck, you could even buy a pirate hook! err... forget that last one lol

I don't like paying attention when doing agil :oops: Nice alternative for others though :D

[blakdragon39]

This is actually pretty useful :D Makes me want to actually go out there and skill as well... right now I just do whatever I want to do. Usually involves some form of skilling, but not hardcore like that :P

Not a bad point, however this was posted in general p2p so most of my points will be p2p :P

I'm used to posting here even though I'm no longer a member :P . Excellent suggestions.

The agility arena is NOT worth it in terms of agilty xp. I got 1k tickets there at lvl 66 agility (I only missed the arrow once and that was because of lag) and found that even when you turn in your 1k tickets for 320k xp you only average 5.4k xp per hour.

 

Getting 1k tickets takes about 17 hours since the arrow only moves every minute, 17 hours on every other course (not too sure about gnome course, but who would train there after lvl 35 agility) would get you way more xp.

 

 

 

I think that the agility arena is not even worth it in terms of herbs. I'm not sure on how many tickets you need per herb but I think that you could easily go plant your herbs at 2 patches, go run laps for an hour and a bit, harvest, replant and go back to running.

 

 

 

IMO currently the best place to train agility is the monkey course. No pkers, food right next to the course (pineapple plant + fishing spot) and with energy pots it's easily 60k xp per hour (42 without), after lvl 74 I never failed an obstacle.

[lagatag]

Nice guide, although I can't say it was anything I didn't already know. Also you may want to trap a paladin while theiving to get chaos for mage/extra money, even though paladin's catch rate has signficantly rosen since rs2.

[spuriousmonkey]

Small skill things:

 

 

 

while collecting eyes of newt in the shop at port sarim I always stop by at the air altar to make some airrunes. after buying a full load of newts I tele back to falador. So i gain 234 air runes and a semi full load of newts every run instead of of just newts. Teleing saves running time.

 

You lose some time, but you gain some airs which can be used for mage, and some slight RC experience.

 

 

 

Slayer, cooking and Herblore:

 

I'm doing mostly slayer. After finishing a task I tele to lumbridge. Buy grapes, chocolate and spices in lumby food chest which I use for cooking. Then I tele to ardougne. Buy waterfilled vials if they have them in store. Empty my load in ardougne bank. Go on a boat to karamja. Pay for trip to shilo. Buy waterfilled and normal vials in general store there. Get a new task. 2 loads of vials from every new task although often the general stores are low on vials, but usually there are at least some.

[Socc]

You could also.....

 

Fletching-crafting-farming-herblore

 

 

 

People could buy 1 k yews ( 300 k), 1 k flax ( 120 k), seeds, and 1 k nats ( 300 k)

 

 

 

FLetch the bows into unstrung, then craft the flax. Make the bows, then head over to a farm patch, plant then alch the time away!

[elucin8er]

Many nice little ideas here :D You're giving me some thoughts on further skill combos.

[urza88]

One of my favorite skill combos was this:

 

 

 

Mine mith/addy (mine or buy coal for them)

 

Superheat ores

 

Smith bars into arrowheads

 

Fletch arrows

 

Train ranged with arrows

 

 

 

So that's mining+smithing+magic+fletching+ranged+hitpoints

 

 

 

Oh and if you train at waterfall fire giants you get prayer xp too. Just bury the bones . . . I didn't, and on hindsight am regretting it :twisted:

 

 

 

It doesn't give a whole lot of xp except ranged/smith/fletch, but it sure was efficent; and turned in a healthy profit on the way to 99 ranged.

One of my favorite skill combos is to train controlled on a blue dragon while alternating with my crystal bow and my fire blasts then i cut down the trees and fletch my logs and when I need food I fish with my big net and cook it on the fire then I make my potions and run around the courses and i steal from people. I also grow strawberry trees.

 

 

 

That trains attack-strength-defense-hp-range-mage-wc-fletch-fish-cook-herblore-agiltiy-theiving-farming

 

 

 

Coolest combo ever.

That's called playing Runescape :P

[Jimmyd17]

This is a really cool guide. I think the only addition I would put in is to add to the Herblore + Farming part and make it Herblore + Farming + Magic with the magic part being high alching, much like Socc said but with out the fletching... now that I think about it Socc had the more sensible idea, but thats still my two cents.

 

 

 

I think I might be able to capitalize on your farming/herblore bit as herblore is whats catching my attention nowadays and farming lvl 16 is really, really! weak for a lvl 96... :oops:

Thanks for the feedback, however on your alching suggestion....

 

 

 

I did state people find farming before BECAUSE they sit by their crops. Farming for me is the skill I shape everything around. I'm always planting, and leaving them while I go off to do different things. Sitting by an alching is boring :oops:

 

 

 

Urza and fresh, nice inputs, however I think they're too broad. They are, as you yourself suggested Urza, just an explanation of playing Runescape. I'll take them into account however, and possibly shape them to fit an easier combo solution :P Thanks for your inputs guys.

 

 

 

EDIT - I re-read Fresh's post :oops: And realised he was having a stab at Urza's suggestion. Oh funny :D

I have a question about that. How can you browse forums while doing agility? I have to click like every 2 seconds which makes it impossible to read forums (unless u dont switch tabs but make a small window on the side of the screen) Or there is a possibility to make the char do the whole course on its own? I wish you explained me that bcs I'm 41 agil and sick of it. Only thing i can make agil with is the agility arena which doesn't bore me to death in 4 clicks.

One of my favourite F2P routes... (runecraft + mining)

 

 

 

Run from Falador to air altar, runecraft airs,

 

Walk/run on to Rimmington mine, mine a load of iron, walk back to Falador.

 

 

 

Especially useful at low combat levels, if the scorpions give you a hard time in the dwarven mine.

 

 

 

Then either smelt at Falador, or bank all but 3 items, pick a fight with a guard and turn retaliation off (trip to lumbridge), then take the gate to Al-K and smelt there, then tele or walk to Varrock (if walking, use the chasm mine on the way), then smith the bars and mine some more ess, return to Falador and repeat.

 

 

 

 

 

A few other general tips:

 

 

 

1. Check items before starting a trip, nothing more infuriating than wasting run energy and then having to go back for a missing item.

 

 

 

2. More repetition usually means greater efficiency - if a particular run works well for you, then start by getting enough resouces to stick at it for a while.

Well I did same, but mined gold\silver in the crafting guild intead of iron.

[highlanders]

About the mining smithing thing. It's efficient, but very expensive.

I also grow strawberry trees.

 

 

 

 

Where can I find these strawberry trees of which you speak? I'm still growing the plants like a noob :lol:

No no, the strawberry plants we know today are but the tops of the trees blown under the sands.
