FAQ: Difference between revisions

:A: ''Longbows are generally recommended for [[Ranged]]. {{ItemIcon|Ice Arrows}} are a good ammo to use, as they are stronger than [[Adamant Arrows]] and can be farmed easily. Endgame players may want to farm {{ItemIcon|Ancient Arrows}} as they are the best arrows, and they can be farmed alongside {{ItemIcon|Large Horn|Large Horns}}.''

Q: Is magic worth doing/levelling?

:''In addition to the combat benefits, there are a variety of useful non-Combat spells that can be used via [[Alternative Magic]], including {{Icon|type=spell|Blessed Offering}} (the most efficient way to generate {{Skill|Prayer}} points) and {{Icon|Superheat}} spells which generate multiple bars per set of ores used and at the highest tier allow you to smelt bars without needing any coal.''

:A: ''Yes. When equipped, staves remove the need to use a certain number of [[Air Rune|Air]], [[Water Rune|Water]], [[Earth Rune|Earth]], or [[Fire Rune|Fire]] runes, depending on the staff type.''

:A: ''Many players use [[Air Rune|Air]] spells to level up [[Magic]], as it removes the need to use more than one [[Runecrafting|Rune]] when attacking. However, some [[Magic#Ancient Magiks|Ancient Magiks]] such as [[Gust]] and [[Incinerate]] provide the highest exp/second of any skill in the game, and providing a high pet chance too. ''

:A: ''No, they give you prayer points, used to activate [[Prayer#Prayers|prayers]] during [[Combat]]. Most prayers will give you Prayer XP while active, unless specified. You also get a much smaller passive XP gain if you have no prayers active.''

Q: How do I get [[Slayer Coins]]? What is the number next to [[Slayer]] in the sidebar?

Q: Why do [[Redwood Logs]] sell for so little money? Shouldn't they sell for more than [[Magic Logs]]?

:A: ''{{ItemIcon|Rope}} can be [[Upgrading Items|upgraded]] into {{ItemIcon|Bowstring}}s, and other fishing junk can be turned into [[Gem|gems]] with the use of {{Icon|type=spell|Item Alchemy I}}.

:A: ''Increasing the [[Firemaking]] skill level allows the player to purchase higher tier cooking fires from the [[Shop#Cooking_Fires|Shop]]. Also, the [[Firemaking Skillcape]] (which is purchasable from the [[Shop]] upon reaching Level 99) provides a 5% global experience bonus.''

:A: ''Burn the highest log you have unlocked, but use [[Yew Logs]] and [[Magic Logs]] over [[Redwood Logs]]. Controlled Heat Potions decreases the time significantly.''

:A: ''Cooking the highest fish you can. Using [[Cooking Gloves]] reduces the time significantly.''

:A: ''Yes. If all the charges from the {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} are used and the gems obtained are sold, the expected profit is around 262k [[GP]].''

:A: ''Gems are used for [[Crafting]] jewelry and brewing some [[Herblore|potions]], as well as [[Fletching]] [[Fletching#Gem-Tipped_Bolts|Gem Tipped Bolts]]. [[Gem Gloves]] give players a reliable way to collect more gems, so it's acceptable to sell them early on for [[GP]].''

:A: ''To thieve offline, first you must have a 90%  success rate with the NPC you are thieving from. You may bring the success rate up to 90% with thieving gloves, but the progress will stop once the charges run out.''

:A: ''At the beginning of the game, you can only grow [[Potatoes]], which require three [[Potato Seeds]] to plant. As your skill level increases, you will be able to plant more things, including [[Farming#Herbs_2|herbs]] and [[Farming#Trees_2|trees]].''

:A: ''Your plants have a base 50% survival rate. If they survive, then you can harvest them, but if they didn't, you get nothing. You can purchase [[Compost]] and [[Weird Gloop]] from the shop to increase the survival chance of a plant.''

:A: ''Yes. Some [[monsters]] drop arrows when killed, so it's possible to level [[Ranged]] without [[Fletching]].''

Q: Why can't I buy [[Black Dragonhide]] from the [[Shop]]?

:A: ''[[Black Dragonhide]] can only be looted from a [[Black Dragon]].''

:A: ''To use a potion, go to the skill that the potion is for. If it is a [[Herblore#Combat_Potions|combat potion]], go to the [[Combat]] page. Up the top right of the screen there is a button with an empty potion that you can press, and from there you should be able to select any potions you have in your inventory for that skill. Note the "toggle Auto-Reuse" option, having that active means that when the potion you're using runs out of charges, it automatically starts using another potion of the same type.

:* '''Tier 2:''' Mastery level 15.  

:* '''Tier 3:''' Mastery level 40.  

:* '''Tier 4:''' Mastery level 65

:''Also note that it is possible to get a potion of a random tier when using a [[Herblore Potion I|Herblore Potion]].

:A: ''They can be found in the [[Shop]], for 1M GP, under 'skillcapes'. These provide a bonus to the skill the skillcape is for when equipped.''

:A: ''You can get as many as you'd like, but after purchasing 118 slots the price maxes out at 5M [[GP]] per slot. Bank slots can also be gained by using [[Bank Slot Token|Bank Slot Tokens]].''

Q: Where did this [[Gold Topaz Ring] come from?

:A: ''[[Gold Topaz Ring]] is an item which is given to the player in place of an [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] piece, when the requirement of wearing a [[Gold Topaz Ring]] is not met. See [[Signet Ring Half (a)]] and [[Signet Ring Half (b)]] for more details on how to find the [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]].''
