I figured this would be sort of a unique idea. The goal of this topic is to show what it would cost the average player, to buy his way to level 99 in a specific skill.

 

 

 

All prices are based on the player having 273,742xp points to begin with in the skill, which is level 60 for those who are wandering.

NOTE: This is not a complete list of every skill. Some skills are not purchasable, others have a fail rate or other variables, and some I haven't done the figures on.

 

 

 

NOTE 2: This guide does NOT, with the exception of the additional notes for smithing iron knives, factor in the returns from selling/alching produced items. You may make back a decent chunk of change from taking advantage of such methods.

lol interesting. Nice going with this

O.o That's awesome, but for stuff like smithing steel, you can't do that at level one.. :)

wow you can use maple logs in construction? :roll:otherwise...nice job

Material(s) needed: oak planks

 

Target item: any item

 

Price per maple log: 500gp each

 

Amount of material(s) needed: 212,679

 

Amount of target item to be made: n/a

 

 

 

 

Wtf? =D>

 

 

 

 

 

You should just calc maple longs till lv 70 on fletching, then yew longs for faster xp & profit.

Awesome, I was wondering one thing though. You can sell steel bars after you make them, meaning you don't have to lose that much. Bars sell for 550-600ea I think. :)

nice little info you got here

wow you can use maple logs in construction? :roll:otherwise...nice job

 

 

 

your looking at Fletching :lol: :roll:

 

 

 

Actually I forgot to change it to state oak planks, but it has now been corrected.

 

 

 

Thanks though nvw ;)

The fletching money thing is way out. As soon as you got 70 you would switch to yew longs for faster xp. These would produce a profit. Once you get 70 fletching you don't lose money on it, it's all gain. (fletching lvl in siggy)

firemaking costs 5m max I believe(been awhile since I calc'd it) and cooking costs 20m using lobs from the lvl you stop burning with gaunts til sharks and then moving onto sharks at 94 til 99 you'd be using the same amount of cash(assuming you buy and sell the lobs for the same amount and then buy sharks or buy 100k lobs and don't do sharks from 94 :o) You also can buy 91 rc for 25ish mill I believe(using the air company and you'd turn mad profits with your air runes) And I'd assume for 99 you'd need 50m for rcing doing airs the whole way or if you wanted madder profits then nat crafting at 91. Yes, i know, horrible grammar and run on sentences. :D

Some of them are off by about 20M, good job though. If you high alch the finished products it should bring back a TON of cash. :3>

Nice idea, I've actually needed to calculate some of these for planning what i'm going to get 99 in, certainly will help me :)

You should add the smelting gold with gauntlets for smithing, because it will cost alot less, especially if you sell the gold bars afterwards.

Very interesting. How long did this take you?

I just update it alittle to add a path for switching to yews at 70 fletching, gold smelting, and a method for cooking.

 

 

 

Shaddd, how so? I do not see any inaccuracys in the figures?

 

 

 

Cbkviper, not long really. Keep in mind tip it has guides, skill calculators, and the experience table which makes it much easier to figure upon the exact amounts needed and cuts down on time drastically.

I like woodcutting cause it's one of the few skills in which you can't buy your way to 99. Makes it more of an accomplishment when you get the double 9s \

Pretty nice thing going on :thumbsup: Just as Mo Gui Gui said (forgot TIF name), from 70, just yew long bows. I got 78 fletching myself and you get a decent amount of cash + xp + highscores ftw! :XD:

nice guide!
