Foodfight13 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hi. As many of you may know, the new quest Lunar Diplomacy requires lvl 61 crafting. Yesterday I spent a good portion of the afternoon spinning flax to get 61 crafting. I then started the quest and completed it this morning. I'm now sitting at the Lunar bank with 2207 bowstrings in my bank. I'm thinking about what to do with them: A) I sell the bowstrings at 180 each and make 397260gp. B) I cut 2207 yew logs, make yew longbows out of the logs and strings, mine 2207 ess, craft the ess into nats, and high alch the bows and make a total of 1694976gp(almost 1.7 mill) C)Buy 2000 yew logs, cut 207 yews, make yew longbows out of the logs and strings, mine 2207 ess, craft the ess into nats, and high alch the bows and make a total of 1094976gp(almost 1.1 mill) By doing option C, I would gain 2 fletching lvls 1 runecrafting lvl, and 2 magic lvls. By doing option B I would also gain 2 woodcutting lvls. Now option B is clearly the most profitable, but I really don't want to take the time to cut 2k plus yews. And the fletching/runecrafting will also take quite a while. I have a lot of this week for playing time, but then next week I'll only be able to get on in the evenings, and the week after that it I won't be able to get on RS at all. I'm not sure if I could finish in time. I really don't know what to do! :wall: All advice is welcomed.

ValaraZ Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Definatelly C just because i hate woodcutting alot. Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant: "If I live, I will kill you, If I Die, you are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor.

Foodfight13 Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Thanks for your input.

TateModern Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Aye, I do agree with option C. I'd buy the pure ess though. It is still possible to get it for 30 each. I know because its my fav merchanting item. Plus it'd cut an hour or 2 off your time. I hoped you enjoyed my post. If not, you may wish to jot down the name below and make obscene phone calls.

zaquierming Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yup, option C is much quicker. I'd go for that. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tefda Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 B obviously (Kind of rhymes :wink: )! I'd think that it being more profitable AND the fact that you get more overall levels should make it a cinch to be the top idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamgod316 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 My opinion would be that you make the yew longs and then sell 1k for 600k. You can sell 2k for 1.2m. 2k yews would probably go for about 500-540k so you'd make a profit of about 700k. - Affliction - 100 Combat - 9/15/06Merchant / Skiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianw77 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I'd do C myself but I'm the type that likes doing everything themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foodfight13 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have decided to do option B and have gone through with it.
