There is no best skill order. Your order depends greatly on how often you play actively and your priorities. The start of the game requires some manual action to progress efficiently, but you can still make some progress with idling.

==== Example: up to Dragon Javelins ====
==== Routes information ====


This section presents a path from the very start to money-making with {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin|Dragon Javelins}}. Producing them is one of the most profitable money-making methods that don't require you to have the end-game gear. If your goal is the full completion, then the Adventure is about getting the best money-making method as fast as possible. The given strategy is one of the ways towards it.
This section presents a path from the very start to money-making with one of the best money-making methods in the game. If your goal is the 100% completion, then it is about getting the best money-making method as fast as possible. The given routes are one of the ways to do it.


TL;DR: Cooking to get to fighting lvl 50 > Slayer > Mining to get gem gloves > Smithing > Gem gloves till AE 2 > Autolooting > Rune > Magic > Prayer > Combat level 99 > Woodcutting > Fletching.
==== Example: Thieving ====


Get {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}} from {{MonsterIcon|Plant|Plants}}. When you have 100 {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}}, try {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}}.
Unlock route: Fishing > Cooking > Thieving > Mining > Smithing > Slayer > Prayer > Combat level 99


Kill {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}}, then unlock {{Skill|Cooking}}. It will save you a ton of gathering and clicking because {{ItemIcon|Beef}} heals 16 times better than {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}}.
Get {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}} from {{MonsterIcon|Plant|Plants}}. When you have 100 {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}}, switch to {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}}.


After you got {{ItemIcon|Beef}} by cooking drops from Cows, get {{ItemIcon|Bronze Battleaxe}} and {{ItemIcon|Bronze Shield}} from {{MonsterIcon|Golbin}}.
Kill {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}}, loot all including {{ItemIcon|Leather}}, buy {{ItemIcon|Green Dragonhide}} and then sell it.  


In general, if the mentioned monster is hard, use {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}} to level up more before trying it again.
Unlock {{Skill|Fishing}}. It will be the source for {{Skill|Cooking}}.


Get {{ItemIcon|Iron Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|Iron Platelegs}} from {{MonsterIcon|Zombie Hand}}.
Sell fish to unlock {{Skill|Cooking}}. It will give food to do {{Skill|Thieving}}.


Get {{ItemIcon|Steel Platebody}} from {{MonsterIcon|Zombie}}.
Sell fish to unlock {{Skill|Thieving}}.


Get the rest of the Steel armor and weapon set from {{MonsterIcon|Steel Knight|Steel Knights}}.
It is not easy to figure out whom to pickpocket with {{Skill|Thieving}} to get the most of money. Use Nomeru's sheet on Thieving from [[Spreadsheets_and_Theorycrafting]] to decide whom to target. Keep in mind that the results in early game are ''drastically'' different from what is given on the sheet - you need to copy the sheet and enter your current situation.
 
Unlock {{Skill|Mining}} and {{Skill|Smithing}}. With them you can create your own armor and weapons.


Unlock {{Skill|Slayer}} and get {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Strength}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Mummy}}.
Unlock {{Skill|Slayer}} and get {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Strength}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Mummy}}.


Get {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} from {{MonsterIcon|Ice Monster}}. It will hit hard, but if you can survive it and deal damage at a decent rate, do it.
Transition into {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet|Mithril}} and then {{ItemIcon|Adamant Helmet|Adamant}} armor. Trim your resulting armor up to Gold (G).
 
Set your character name to "witwix" and get {{ItemIcon|Chest of Witwix}} from {{MonsterIcon|Leech}}. If your name is "witwix", you will always get {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Calculated Promotion}} from this chest.


Unlock {{Skill|Mining}} and {{Skill|Smithing}}. With them unlocked, transition into Mithril and then Adamant armor. If you are strong enough, farm {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}} instead of Cows to sell the seeds. Trim your armor up to Gold.
After that, you might want to get to Combat level 99 to upgrade your {{Skill|Thieving}} options. For that, unlock {{Skill|Prayer}} and level Melee together with prayers. Use the most expensive and relevant prayers you have. Chivalry and Piety are the best options to level up {{Skill|Prayer}}: the options that spend fewer prayer points have lower rate of prayer-xp-per-point and will slow down your combat.


At this point your Combat level should be more than 50, so you can farm {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}. Farm it until you can buy {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}, then keep them always active when mining and mine more to get Auto Eat 2. This step is aimed at the idle style of play. If you want to manually farm Spider Dungeon, you can do that instead.
Level up your Combat.<br>
Fight the following monsters:
* Attack Level 1-9 {{Icon|Cow|type=monster}}.
* Attack Level 10-49 {{Icon|Frozen Archer|type=monster}}.
* Attack Level 50-99 {{Icon|Giant Crab|type=monster}}.
You can check out the [[Combat Simulator]] to see which monster is the best for your situation. Don't forget to consider the food expenditure.


Get your {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} to the level when you can Idle {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}}. Get {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}} from {{ItemIcon|Spider Chest}}. Now you can idle your food production.  
As an example of Combat Level 99, the following combination was enough: Attack 77, Strength 75, Defence 79, Hitpoints 77, Prayer 91.


Unlock {{Skill|Runecrafting}}, {{Skill|Magic}}, and {{Skill|Prayer}} by mining with the Gem Gloves.
The later upgrades of money-making with {{Skill|Thieving}} consist of {{Skill|Herblore}}, {{Skill|Agility}}, and {{Skill|Summoning}}. It's up to you to decide in which order to unlock them and the other skills they need. Nomeru's sheet on Thieving from [[Spreadsheets_and_Theorycrafting]] will come in handy to compare the improvements.


Get prayer points through Alt Magic. Use the prayers that are most expensive and useful: Chivalry and Piety are the best options to level up {{Skill|Prayer}}: the options that spend fewer prayer points are both slower and have lower rate of prayer-xp-per-point.
==== Example: Dragon Javelins ====


Level up your Combat. A {{MonsterIcon|Tentacle}} or a {{MonsterIcon|Giant Crab}} are good choices, but if you want the best option, check out [[Combat Simulator]] to see which monster is the best for your situation. Don't forget to consider the food expenditure.
Unlock route: Fishing > Cooking > Mining > Smithing > Slayer > Rune > Magic > Prayer > Combat level 99 > Woodcutting > Fletching.


Get your combat up to level 99. For instance, the following combination was enough for it: Attack 77, Strength 75, Defence 79, Hitpoints 77, Prayer 91.
Most of the things are the same as in the ''Example: Thieving'', but we don't unlock {{Skill|Thieving}}, and we use {{Skill|Alt. Magic}} to get prayer points.


Unlock {{Skill|Woodcutting}} and {{Skill|Fletching}} by mining the same Mithril Ore with Gem Gloves.
After you unlocked {{Skill|Slayer}}, unlock {{Skill|Runecrafting}}, {{Skill|Magic}}, and {{Skill|Prayer}}.


Level up the unlocked skills to create {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin}}.
Get prayer points through {{Icon|Blessed Offering|type=spell}} from {{Skill|Alt. Magic}}.  


Get your combat up to level 99.


Unlock {{Skill|Woodcutting}} and {{Skill|Fletching}}.


The skill routes below are viable, but if you don't like suffering, you might want to do the math or ask people about how hard it would be because it is possible to lock yourself with months of dull grind if you make several wrong unlocks.
Level up the unlocked skills to start earning money with {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin|Dragon Javelins}}.
