Adventure/Guide: Difference between revisions

This is just my opinion from a few days of observation. I’ll give a recommendation for when to unlock these skills.

Pros: Very strong, especially in the end game. Great for killing hard enemies and dungeons. Many enemies are melee. Alt magic lets you gain prayer points easily, plus (low) offline xp. Can craft good weapons/armor with runecrafting.

Cons: Need mining + runecrafting before you can start. Takes time to farm runes. You need woodcutting or thieving to make elemental staves, otherwise they are monster drops. Prayer points can come from fishing. Needs ancient magic to reach full potential. Best runes are locked behind a high runecrafting level. Only contributes to combat level if higher level than other combat styles.

Pros: Helps a ton in combat, especially in difficult combat or late game. You get bones from everything. Always contributes to combat level.  

Cons: Needs a supply of prayer points, bone drops aren’t enough. Best ways for that are [[Raw Skeleton Fish]] from fishing or [[blessed offering]] from alt magic.

Pros: Rerolling easy tasks is free, so you can always gain slayer coins and xp from what you want to fighting. If you are willing to reroll tasks, it gives free slayer xp. Coins can be spent on important upgrades and resupply which gives food, bones and ammo. Unlocks slayer areas with important mobs, like mummy for gold emerald ring and gold topaz ring.

Cons: Acquiring slayer coins requires you to manually reroll tasks, or at least switch to your current task, which is inconvenient for mostly idling/afk players. You can still earn some slayer xp by fighting in a slayer area. Takes a while to earn up coins to buy anything. Does not contribute to combat level!

Pros: Easy to train afk, can make decent gp/hr at higher levels. Get logs for magic staves, arrows. Birds nest are a decent source of seeds. Level 99 needed to efficiently create [[Dragon Javelin]], one of the best end game [[Money Making]] strategies.

Cons: Everything you can get here you can get from thieving, and the gp/hr is worse than gem gloves until a high level.  

Pros: With cooking, easy and afk food supply. Get [[ARoS]] if you are lucky. Chance to get [[Message in a Bottle]], which unlocks [[Raw Skeleton Fish]] which are a great source of prayer points. Train strength afk with barb fishing. Can make some money offline.

Cons: You can get food from farming or combat. Prayer points can come from alt magic. The gp/hr is worse than gem gloves until high levels, can’t get that sweet whale+fishing cape gp/hr for a long time.

Pros: The cape gives you xp bonus.. Eventually. Cooking xp bonus with fires

Cons: Need 99 combat level to get cape, at which point the grind will not be as worth it compared to normal modes. Need to get logs from woodcutting.

Pros: Easy and quick afk food with fishing.  

Cons: You can get food and lots of other items from farming or combat. Does not give any advantage besides food.

Pros: Mining with gem gloves is the best money making strat early on, plus it's mostly afk. Can earn some offline gp before gem gloves. Need essence for magic and gloop for farming. With smithing, you can get bars for armor trimming, and ranged ammo. Level 99 needed to efficiently create [[Dragon Javelin]], one of the best end game [[Money Making]] strategies.

Cons: Need 500k for first pair of gem gloves.  

Recommended to unlock: early game

Pros: Make silver/gold bars for armor trimming and gp before you can afford gem gloves. Make ranged ammo. Make melee weapons/armor. If you get to combat level 99 and 99 smithing, you can make dragon armor and trim it in order to afk volcano easier. Level 99 needed to efficiently create [[Dragon Javelin]], one of the best end game [[Money Making]] strategies.

Cons: You can kill knights for melee weapons/armor far sooner than you unlock with smithing (except gloves). You can earn gold and silver bars from monster drops, although smithing is far quicker. Can get ranged ammo from mob drops.

Pros: Get decent (?) gp/hr while getting other materials like food and logs and seeds.

Recommended to unlock: early/mid/late game

Pros: Food with no ingame time spent. After a few days you make a ton of food every few hours. Only viable way to get herbs. Get most types of logs. Earn some decent gp with no in game time spent if you sell herbs/logs. Get most seeds from combat, or thieving or woodcutting.

Cons: Need to open the game every so often to get the most food. Need to buy [[Compost]] or kill farmers for it. Need mining to get [[Weird Gloop]] for best xp and food rate. Thieving or woodcutting is required to get [[Carrot Seeds]].

Recommended to unlock: early/mid game

Pros: Needed for arrows. Level 99 needed to fletch [[Dragon Javelin]], one of the best end game [[Money Making]] strategies.

Cons: Ranged is not the strongest, and you can get arrows from drops. Fletching djavs for money is not viable until combat level 99.

Recommended to unlock: Late/end game

Pros: Makes ranged armor and jewelry.  

Cons: Ranged armor and jewelry drop from combat. Not a great skill.

Pros: Lets you use magic, the strongest end game combat style. Also required for alt magic for prayer points. Curses and auras make you stronger until you become OP with ancient magic.  

Cons: Need mining first. Doesn’t do anything before unlocking magic. Higher tier runes require a high level, which means a high combat level.

Recommended to unlock: mid game

Pros: Makes other skills more efficient. Combat potions provide a boost, but [[Diamond Luck Potion]] and [[Damage Reduction Potion]] are essential for late game combat. Level 53 needed to efficiently create [[Dragon Javelin]], one of the best end game [[Money Making]] strategies.

Cons: Needs farming for herbs, some secondary materials are hard to get. Need a high combat level to get the best combat potions. Slow to train.

Pros: Provides small buffs to other skills, increasing XP, mastery, item preservation, combat buffs, etc. Easy afk way to make some gp/hr, with some increasingly steep startup costs. Does not surpass gem gloves until at least level 70, unless you have [[Aorpheat's Signet Ring]].

Cons:  Many obstacles require skills or items you have not unlocked yet. Obstacles become increasingly expensive, and some have large debuffs.

Recommended to unlock: mid/Late game
