So, how do you get your supplies when you want to level buyable skills (e.g. smithing, crafting..)? Do you buy them (e.g ores/bars for smithing) or work for them (mine yourself)?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit - How come did this get moved here..?

In like 95% of my case, I collect everything myself.

 

 

 

It's better exp and cheaper :)

 

 

 

Last I collected 220k Feathers myself,

 

 

 

Tough it took me 6 weeks, the 7 prayer levels are nice and 2 defense and 2 attack levels from chickens only :)

 

 

 

Cheap and good training!

I have a nasty habit of buying the materials and selling the final product with a minor profit. That's at least now when I'm cooking. We'll just see when i move up to the other skills.

Depends on the skill/item. I fit is easy, I do it myself. If not I buy it.

Mostly selfmined/hunted/cut. Sometimes I might buy some Essence if pressed for time.

I never buy anything I can get for free.

If i can make a profit when im done I will probably buy the supplies, but like kill Life said it's cheap and fast training usually to do it yourself. I got my skiller/rune pure to lvl 71 wc soo far getting me willows for fletching which i plan to get up sometime... :-w

The way you stated your question, makes it seem like you're asking for advice. But if you look at it another way, you're just looking for a discussion. Next time, make it more clear.

They should move this topic back to were it was.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always get the items my self. I tried to buy the items but i ran out of money and it was a pain waiting for a week for the seller to finally logg in when i was in.
