This means the player will only be allowed to level {{Skill|Attack}}, {{Skill|Strength}}, {{Skill|Defence}}, {{Skill|Hitpoints}}, {{Skill|Ranged}}, {{Skill|Magic}}, {{Skill|Prayer}}, and [[Slayer]]. | ||
The entire gameplay consists of fighting enemies in different areas, and trying to reach end-game bosses, without ever touching any of the non-combat skills, or ever dying. | The entire gameplay consists of fighting enemies in different areas, and trying to reach end-game bosses, without ever touching any of the non-combat skills, or ever dying. | ||

Another style allows using some non-combat skills, but none of the gathering-skills. This means they can't use {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Fishing}}, {{Skill|Mining}}, {{Skill|Farming}}, but they can use the resources they gain from killing enemies. As a note, they will not be able to level {{Skill|Firemaking}}, as there is no way to obtain {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs}} without {{Skill|Woodcutting}}. | ||

Leveling defence up improves your natural evasion ratings, effectively reducing all enemies' hit chance. I don't enjoy spam-clicking potatoes 300 times a minute. After reaching defence level 15 or so, I will start leveling my {{Skill|Attack}} stat, for a higher chance to hit enemies. | ||

{{ItemIcon|Bronze Battleaxe}} and {{ItemIcon|Bronze Shield}} are both dropped from [[Golbin]] at [[Golbin Village]]. With these, I will go back to grind more potatoes, until I get bored, and believe I am strong enough to get myself some steel gear from the [[Steel Knight]]. A quick note: Any weapon is better than your fists, simply because of the 4s cooldown between attacks with your fists. | {{ItemIcon|Bronze Battleaxe}} and {{ItemIcon|Bronze Shield}} are both dropped from [[Golbin]] at [[Golbin Village]].

Alternatively, you might get a {{ItemIcon|Bronze Dagger}} and potentially an {{ItemIcon|Iron Dagger}} from the {{MonsterIcon|Goo Monster}}, if you're feeling brave. | |||
You will be able to push yourself through the first three knights ({{MonsterIcon|Steel Knight}}, {{MonsterIcon|Black Knight}}, {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}}) quite decently, getting Boots, Platelegs, Platebodies, Helmets, Shields, Swords, and Scimitars. Furthermore, the Black Knight will drop you a {{ItemIcon|Black Dagger}}. | |||

I will do what I call a Pro Gamer Move, and kill a few {{MonsterIcon|Purple Goo Monster}]s until they give me an {{ItemIcon|Adamant Dagger}}. The benefit of wielding a dagger over a sword is that you will save yourself 0.2s between attacks, allowing you to hoard up even MORE POTATOES. | ||

The {{ItemIcon|Gold Topaz Ring}} is kinda meh, for now, since we won't have access to {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} anyway. | |||

Okay, so you're sick of being a manual autoclicker, pressing Loot All, equipping potatoes, and munching potatoes for 1001 nights in a row. Okay, so power up an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino Arduino], connect a real life potato to fuel it with energy, and turn it into a potato powered autoclicker instead. Do this until you have enough potatoes to get a million gold, and can buy [[Auto Eat|Auto Eat I]] for 1 000 000 [[Gold Coins]]. | Okay, so you're sick of being a manual autoclicker, pressing Loot All, equipping potatoes, and munching potatoes for 1001 nights in a row.

Kill {{MonsterIcon|Cow}}s, loot {{ItemIcon|Leather}}, and get free {{ItemIcon|Bones}} for {{Skill|Prayer}}, experience, and some pennies. Upgrading {{ItemIcon|Leather}} to {{ItemIcon|Green Dragonhide}} increases the profit for each one. Do this until you can afford auto-eat. In my experience, this is the most efficient way to get gold at this stage. | |||
While the efficiency of Auto Eat I might not be the best, you will save yourself a lot manual labour, and can finally get yourself a shower, by consuming your hard-earned potatoes. | While the efficiency of Auto Eat I might not be the best, you will save yourself a lot manual labour, and can finally get yourself a shower, by consuming your hard-earned potatoes. | ||
