:: tripsis :: 99 Woodcutting!

[tripsis]

Hi there, Supreme Skiller. I suppose you're still in, right? Haven't seen you but a few times on the forums yet. (I'm a Future Applicant btw, soon to be full member, and clanmate ^^).

 

 

 

Tbh, you are just adorable. A lovely personality, and when I see the effort you put into your levels. Awesome. I'd say I worship you but oh well, you've probably heard it several times.

 

 

 

Not much more to say at the moment, so eh.. Good luck on your further herblore progress. I'll hop in sometime, both ingame and forums.

 

 

 

Wow thanks for such a lovely comment! :D -blush-

 

 

 

I think I'm still in Supreme Skillers :anxious: I should really pop in and say hi, I haven't been to the forum in ages :oops: -madly searches for the forum URL-

 

 

 

And thanks for your generous compliments!ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâà Some would call my dedication no-lifing.ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâà It's nice to see that you put it into a more friendly context, hehe O:) Thanks for your support! Hopefully I'll see you around TIF/SS forums/in-game/wherever! :XD:

 

 

 

race me to 99 herby?

 

 

 

 

 

grats on lvls and gl!

 

 

 

Oohhh -is nervous- Sure, I'll have a friendly little competition :) How are you going about 99? -frantically gets back to leveling!-

 

 

 

A milestone, i learned how to quote!!

 

 

 

Well, i need to try a bit harder... No, i usually don't, but i had to save your lif.. erm... thread.

 

 

 

How is the runecrafting going?

 

 

 

 

 

~zellaz

 

 

 

Haha quoting can be a tad tricky when you get into editing them and all that nonsense. Sometimes it's just hard to tell what's what!

 

 

 

Runecrafting is going well. At least it will when I actually start for the day O:)

 

 

 

I say B because that is one HAWT house

 

 

 

Haha thanks Blackarch :lol: Hopefully it'll be even 'hawter' in the future!! :thumbsup:

[bomber375]

Hey trips, not sure if you remember me or not, I went on a long break myself shortly after you did... But its me bomber375, and I will be back on a pure for a little while and I cant wait to come to some more house parties!

[adrenalinepcs]

i just have a bunch of full time herb growers and unid sellers.

 

 

 

nothing to be worried about \

Of course I remember you! :thumbsup: It's great to hear from you again! Make sure you come to my 99 herblore party, hehe :wink:

-is very, very worried- I just have to make nats 24/7 to even afford this in the first place :anxious: Haha. Well I do have a very nice second ingredient seller (when I have the gp, that is). Thank goodness school is almost over. Might be time to bring out le ol' "No-lifing" trick -winks at old time blog readers-

[ultimatballr]

Hi, I recently got back into playing RS too. One of my many many goals is 82 herblore, and since you are 91 and atempting to get 99 I figured this was the best place for a question or two.

 

 

 

1-

 

What are good pots to make on my way to 82??

 

 

 

2-

 

Did you lose alot, if any, money so far on your quest to 99??

 

 

 

3-

 

Do you buy unid herbs and seconds?? and are they easy to buy unid, without getting scammed??

 

 

 

Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance and the best of luck to you on your current and future goals.

1/3 (Tripsis is cool and likes to mess up her answer orders). If you have no problem getting a reasonable amount of gp (don't really remember, but I think the following cost me somewhere between 10m and 25m), then I would recommend the following:

 

 

 

50 (where you are now) to 66 - Prayer potions. Ranarrs are easy to buy and prayer potions are easy to sell. Sometimes you can even make a profit. If not, you'll probably break even or only lose a very small amount of gp.

 

 

 

66 to 72 - Super sets (super attack, strength and defence potions). The ingredients are a little more expensive, but super sets sell for a whooping 10k each! Again, if you're lucky you will make a profit. If not, you'll probably lose around 150 - 1.5k gp per potion.

 

 

 

72 to 81 - Ranging potions (you could start making magic potions at 76, but ranging potions are easier to sell in my opinon). You lose slightly more gp here. When selling in bulk on forums, range potions are usually more like 2k - 3.5kea. But when selling like 5 at a time, they're like 5kea in banks (which means profit for you!!).

 

 

 

81+ - Sara brews. Possible to make a profit, but not likely. Sara brews have been dropping a lot recently. A few months ago they were a solid 5kea, but alas, they have dropped to around 2.5kea... which is only the price of the bird nests and water-filled vials alone!!!

 

 

 

For the above recommended ways, whenever I say "possible to make a profit," that's only if you get very lucky and are very patient and buy ingredients for lower prices. The tricky thing with herblore is that you have to take supply and demand into consideration. There's a fair bit of competition for herbs (lots of buyers!) and barely any people actually buying the potions (but tons of people selling!!). Because of that, unless you want to spend months buying/selling ingredients and potions, you have to pay a little more for herbs and sell potions for a little less.

 

 

 

However, if you don't have a secret obsession with runecrafting, or are not ready to admit it (haha, just kidding), then there are cheaper ways to go about it. The above ways are simply some of the faster ways.

 

 

 

Prayer pots, however, are good to make. People usually do break even with those. Some people I know, have even made those all the way to the 90s. I would recommend buying unIDed herbs. There's usually a lot of room for profit (or breaking even) in that department. It is a slower process, but it works! If you're unfamiliar with the anti-scam method, there is a wonderful sticky on the Herblore section of the RuneScape Official Forums that explains it. Alternatively, you may PM me and I'd be more than happy to help you out :)

 

 

 

Using that method, you can specifically buy certain herbs that are above a certain level. For example, common herbs are things like unIDed herbs over Ranarr. That ensures that you are getting unIDs (so they're naturally a bit cheaper than the IDed herbs are), and you're also getting higher level herbs. Once you ID them, simply use the ones you want and sell the rest. That means that you're keeping some herbs, selling the rest, and possibly even making a small profit off some of your potions.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Since level 78 or so, I've spent around 50m on herblore.. but that's because I go about it the "fast but expensive" way. I look at RuneScape in a very unique way from most people (I think, anyway). Some people think to themselves, "Great, I'll just make prayer potions the whole way. I'll buy my ingredients cheap so I'll make a profit! It will be a long, slow process, but there's no way I'll ever make 100m+!!"

 

 

 

But I don't see it that way. I am perfectly content spending a few weeks runecrafting to make 100m+ (even before 91 runecrafting). In the end, it will probably take around the same amount of time, if not quicker (definitely quicker after 91 runecrafting, but lets ignore that for the sake of my argument). But in the end, I'll get 99 herblore and probably a couple million runecrafting experience. So I'm training two skills - I'm getting 2x the experience - two for the price of one - however you want to put it. I'd much rather have that (which also gives me a nice variety of switching between skills), then chaining myself to a bank slot and sitting there for two months.

 

 

 

But every player has his or her preferences :) Personally, I've been making sara brews since level 81. As I stated earlier, it's probably the most expensive way to train herblore because I lose 2.25k gp per potion I make (so you do the gruesome math to find out how much I'm spending!). But this works for me. If you have more questions (geeze I can't believe how long this post is.. I should write a guide on, "Tripsis's Philosophy of RuneScape in Relation to Herblore" >.<), feel free to PM me on TIF or post here or whatever~! I'm more than happy to help!

Well I made a nice 9k nats today :) Only need 7k more until I can purchase my 120k essence. Then it's on to buy 30k vials!

[Zygimantas]

Woooooooo go Herblore, Goodluck. I think the herblore cape looks the best :)

Time to start runecrafting for the day!

[Lunar_Drifter]

Yum.. I love herblore as well. I'm not sure if I'm getting members again, however.. meh. I'll live without it.

 

 

 

Good-super-awesome-luck!

 

 

 

And I think you should just get some money for house upgrades so we can have an uber time in your house. Well.. not "we" but "y'all" (see above)

[Dark_History]

ah ic u finally changed ur avatar, not so lazy after all eh? :thumbsup:

 

 

 

hehe... anyways i got a few questions -

 

 

 

do you use the abyss to rc nats? or fairy rings?

 

 

 

is it worth it spendin lots of money for a high lvl rc so that i can make profit from world 16 air company?

 

 

 

y do u like herblore?

[ultimatballr]

wow took less than a day for a response, and it wasnt rushed... I like you

 

 

 

Thank you very much for your help. I plan on maxing all my skills by the end of my RS career, whenever that maybe. That being with as little "no-lifing" as possible. So any tips, or help is most appreciated.

 

 

 

Again, good luck to you in your current, and on your future goals!

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Another question :D :D

 

 

 

How do you make that drop down type thing...?? I am talking about where it says "My House (many pictures)" and you can click it, and it opens up and you can see all your pictures. I wouldl ike to use that in my blog to make it more organized.

[halo2_rocks7]

Heh I love reading what you write Trippy (I can call you that right?) :P

 

 

 

Again GL and I was wondering, what program do you use to make your avatar? After Effects? I'd love to know. Have fun with Herblore. :)

Haha, finally decided it was time :wink:

 

 

 

1. I use the Abyssal Space to runecraft.

 

 

 

2. Personally, I don't "believe" in using runners. Runecrafting nature runes before 91 is very profitable in itself. I wouldn't spend money to get 91 runecrafting.. not when you can make ~100m+ getting there.

 

 

 

3. I'm not even entirely sure that I like herblore. I like the idea of it but the actual process is brutal :shock: (it's hard on the wrists, hehe. So much clicking back and forth).

 

 

 

wow took less than a day for a response, and it wasnt rushed... I like you

I'm usually very in-depth with my answers, especially when they're about "how do you train ____?" :oops: I'm just very opinionated, hehe.

 

 

 

And no problem! I'm more than happy to answer any and all questions you throw at me (just throw them lightly please! haha)! Best of luck with your goals~! That's one large goal to complete.

 

 

 

You mean the "hide" feature? Well above every text box where you post a reply, you should see various BBCode options. On the far right, there should be a "Hide" button. Click that and it should insert the code for you. Or you can just use this:

 

 

 

[hide=INSERT CLICKABLE TEXT TITLE HERE] Here is where you put the information (pictures, text, etc.) that you want to be "hidden." [/hide]

 

 

 

If you were to copy and paste that code directly, it would look like so:

 

 

 

[hide=INSERT CLICKABLE TEXT TITLE HERE] Here is where you put the information (pictures, text, etc.) that you want to be "hidden." [/hide]

 

 

 

Heh I love reading what you write Trippy (I can call you that right?)

 

 

 

Again GL and I was wondering, what program do you use to make your avatar? After Effects? I'd love to know. Have fun with Herblore.

 

 

 

Aww, thanks :) And yeah, go ahead, haha! I don't mind :

 

 

 

I use Photoshop CS2 for all my images (both animated and non-animated).

Made about 9k nats today. Think I'm done for the night!

Wow(not the game :notalk: ) that's huge! I myself made around 3k nats today and i thought that was a lot.

 

Do you play all day? or are you a person that need to get only 4 hours sleep a night (like my dad)

 

 

 

Have fun!

Well remember, I do make double nats :oops: So I really only runecrafted for 2-3 hours. I usually do go nuts on the weekend and play pretty much all day, but I still like my beauty sleep :-w haha.

 

 

 

alrite thx for answering my questions :)

 

 

 

No problem!! :thumbsup: \

[krisc6]

hi tripsis.congrats on 91 \

 

id just like to ask a question since its somewhat of a question tripsis time

 

my dream goal is 99 construction since its my favourite skill and im wondering how you payed for all youre oak planks?

 

if you did craft natures then how many naturtes did you craft because ill seriousley consider it if you can give me a round about figure.

 

 

 

btw looking at how many potions you need per herblore level(say 2.5-3k ive heard) then you could have this skill wrapped up very soon.

 

 

 

good luck tripsis

Btw, you're so cool. :P

 

 

 

EDIT: Hey Trippy I was wondering if when you're free if you could make me some glories? I have 18 stones and bars that you can use. So just let me know if you can make 'em. Thanks. :P

Thanks for the "congrats" and for your support! :thumbsup: \

 

 

 

-loves questions- Yep, I crafted nature runes via the Abyssal Space to pay for construction. But keep in mind that I flatout bought oak planks for 500ea to get to 99 - making it very expensive. I'm not sure of the exact number, but I probably crafted somewhere around 400k - 500k nature runes to pay for it. But I'm not sure if you're using the same method of training construction I am. If you plank your own logs, for example, you won't have to spend nearly as much gp as I did (~120m).

 

 

 

Feel free to PM me or ask here if you have more questions up your sleeve~!

Aww :) You guys are far too kind~!

 

 

 

The herblore is going well. Unfortunately it's on 'pause' at the moment, while I runecraft. I have to spend like 12m gp on pure essence before I do anymore herblor'ing :(

 

 

 

And don't worry about it! I don't want you guys to feel like you're obligated to donate. Just your support is wonderful enough and helps keep me encouraged :mrgreen:

Haha, okie! And yeah, After Effects is usually a program used to make animated movies and things like that. Just for simple banners and avatars, Photoshop is usually the way to go (in my opinion).

 

 

 

Btw, thanks -blush-

 

 

 

And yeah, no problem! I can just trade you glories for the stones/bars. I'll PM you when I see you online so we can meet up!

[halo2_rocks7]

Alright yay! I'm online right now, but I'm trying to get back my pouches because some pathetic lvl-113 noob who doesn't know what real pk'ing is pked me while I was peacefully making nats. :x

 

 

 

*Calms down*

 

 

 

Well, the abyssal monsters don't seem to think I need any pouches so this might take a while. See you soon. :P
