Alright I have 2 mil in bank. I want to keep a decent amount of it as the way I make money makes profit based on how much you put into it (wont say here for fear of making it popular)....So pretty much spending 2 mil is not encouraged but if need be I will do it.

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE I AM F2P

 

 

 

What skill should I raise?

 

 

 

I was thinking either crafting, smithing, runecrafting, or magic.

 

 

 

Crafting: 39

 

Smithing: 53

 

Runecrafting: 32

 

Magic: 41

 

 

 

Alright could you please advise me on which one, or which combination of ones to do (for example both crafting and magic to make strength ammies)

 

 

 

Please also say how I should raise that skill. What should I be buying to raise that skill and how much should I buy it for?

 

 

 

 

 

I was thinking of getting my runecrafting up to at least 44 or so. How much ess would I need and whats the range I should buy it in? Where should I buy it world 1 or forums here?

I heard someone talk about getting really high cooking then buy raws and cooking them for profit. Is this a good idea and how long will it take to earn the money back once I start selling the fish?

*checks tip.it calculator* you need 7.7k ess for lvl 44 runecafting. I assume you will make air runes for this, its the only way I train it.

 

In fact this skill doesn't cost anything. Not sure where is good to buy ess now, world 1 normally has higher prices. To get 7.7k ess in 1 go, the forums are probably best, just pm a seller. You can get ess around 15-18gp each, probably in multiples of 1k. Lets say 8k ess at 18gp, so 144k.

 

You will make 4x airs for almost all of this, so you get 32k airs from it. Sell for 20gp each, 640K. Well 500k profit, and it will take about 10 hours gametime. If you want to do it in under 2 hours for a cost, look into the w16 air company. Use search to find info.

 

 

 

Now about spending.

 

Definitely get the magic lvl up. Seeing as your not short on cash, I recommend fire bolting at lessers on Karamja. Cursing for xp is so boring, and its not particularly fast. Lessers are much more fun, you get hp xp, and maybe a rune med or two to alch when you get to 55. Aim for at least 55 for high alching, but probably 59, so you have a complete spell book.

 

 

 

Crafting isn't too bad to raise. Buying hides is fastest. You won't get a lot of your investment back here, but you can keep a load of str ammys in your bank to sell whenever. You could go for lvl 70, but 20000 hardleather bodies isnt much fun and it will cost you 2mil. lvl 50 is probably more reasonable for now, will cost around 200k.

 

 

 

Smithing is nice to have, though again its not a money making skill. Aim for lvl 68, full mith maybe, or even 70 for addy bars. You could buy some ore and mine some, making steel plates. Alternatively buy bars and smith which uses money but is much faster.

 

 

 

I suggest buying a few k arrows to increase range, unless you don't like it.

 

 

 

Cooking you could buy salmon raw and sell cooked, you might make a bit of money here but the market is small. I raise mine by cooking lobs for no profit but no loss, as I don't burn.

 

 

 

Dunno if any of that was helpful, almost every skill has a way to make money, and a way to spend money to get the xp faster.

 

 

 

Summary, raise all 4 of these skills.

 

 

 

Crafting to 50, costs about 200k

 

Smithing to 68, 8k steel bars to smelt and smith, cost depends on how much you mine. If you buy 8k iron 100ea and 8k coal 150ea, mine the other 8k coal, its almost free. You could buy it all and it would cost about 1.2mil. Alch steel platebodies when you have 55 mage.

 

Runecrafting to at least 44. This skill has no limits, as its a moneymaker. Air company will cost 800k but you get 640k from the airs you make so 160k cost.

 

Mage to at least 59. At 55 you can alch you steel platebodies for good xp.

 

 

 

You should still have money left after all this. The smithing will take the longest by far, and is also the most boring when you are smelting.

 

 

 

If you get bored this is when you should go and mage away at lessers.

 

 

 

Enjoy =D

Actualy I like Smithing :).

 

I am going P2P just for summer and am thinking of making a ton of cannonballs to raise it eve nthough its slow, its profitable.

 

 

 

Mage I will definetly raise although it will cost me quite a bit :( :? .

 

Runecrafting for 44+ is a definetly as I never realized how cheap it was to raise.

 

Crafting gets so boring with hides. I was thinking of buying a ton of uncuts and cutting them and then making ammys, enchanting raises a bit of magic xp too.

 

 

 

EDIT: Now that I think about it ther reason that made me want to become a member over summer was staking in duel arena. So magic would be my first priority to raise since it will raise my hp as well.

wat i think is get as much ess as u can either mine it(get mining up) or buy it then go member make as many chaos or the highest rune u can make. make or buy other rune to suit ur spell eg. fire bolt. then when u hav heaps of runes train magic. u will have runecrafting magic and maybe mining up.
