What's going on guys, my name's Theoatrix, and welcome to my updated level 1 to 99 thieving guide. GUIDE CONTENTS WHY TRAIN THIEVING USEFUL UNLOCKS YOUR PATH TO 99 FASTEST PATHWAY TO 99 ALTERNATIVE METHODS PROFITABLE METHODS In this guide, I'll teach you everything you need to know to train your thieving in old school. I'll start with some basics, then I'll show the fastest pathway to 99, along with some alternative methods. Let's get into it. If you'd prefer to watch a video version of this guide, you can watch that below. Otherwise you can continue down the page to read the written guide. Why Train Thieving So why should you train your thieving? Leveling your thieving is essential for progressing your account. A range of quests have a thieving level requirement. Some important ones include The Legends Quest, Desert Treasure, Monkey Madness 2, and Dragonslayer 2. You need level 64 thieving to get the Quest Cape, and level 91 for the Achievement Diary Cape. At high thieving levels, you unlock some of the best-skilling money makers in the game, like pickpocketing elves for up to 3 mil per hour. Overall, thieving is a fast and profitable 99, taking around 60 hours if you follow the fastest pathway that I'm showing. Useful Unlocks On your journey to 99 thieving, there's a range of useful unlocks that you should be taking advantage of. The Ardy Diaries increase your success rate when pickpocketing, which overall increases your XP rate. The Medium Diary gives a 10% boost within Ardy, and the Hard Diary extends this boost to everywhere in RuneScape. With level 54 Hunter, you can wear Gloves of Silence, and these increase your pickpocketing success rate by 5%. This effect does not stack with the Ardy Diary though, so you should only use the gloves if you don't have the diary completed. Dodgy Necklaces are another essential when it comes to pickpocketing. When worn, the necklace gives a 25% chance to avoid getting stunned when you fail to pickpocket, and this greatly increases your XP rates. While pickpocketing, it's strongly recommended to use the Shadow Veil spell found on the Arceuus Spellbook. While active, it gives a 15% chance to avoid getting stunned, stacking with the Dodgy Necklace. To get the most out of thieving, players should obtain the Rogues Outfit from the Rogues Den minigame. Wearing the outfit gives you a chance of getting double loot when pickpocketing, and the full set guarantees double loot.
Your Path to 99 So on your path to 99 thieving, you should follow the fastest pathway, while doing some of the alternative methods to switch up your training. Fastest Pathway to 99 The fastest pathway requires a lot of focus, so that's why I suggest doing Ardy Knights and other profitable methods alongside the fastest pathway. Questing is an efficient way to get your early thieving levels. There are 26 quests in OSRS that give thieving XP as a reward. Low-leveled players can get from level 1 to 20 easily by completing Biohazard, Hazeel Cult and Fight Arena. These quests have little to no requirements. Without questing, from level 1, you'll start off by pickpocketing men or women. This can be done in many cities around RuneScape. Some easily accessible ones can be found wandering around Lumbridge. You'll need to successfully pickpocket 49 times to reach level 5, which should take around 10 minutes. With pickpocketing, you should take advantage of the Menu Entry Swapper plugin on RuneLite. With it active, if you hold shift and then right click an NPC, you can set the left click option to pickpocket. At level 5, the best experience comes from bakery stalls at the Arty Market, and this is located in the far eastern region of Arty. You should stand underneath the baker to avoid getting caught, and to get from level 5 to 25, it's going to take around 30 minutes. From level 25, fruit stalls in the Hosidius House give the best XP per hour, until 45. These stalls require 15% Hosidius House favour to steal from. It's recommended to steal in the house to the far east of the Hosidius House. Here, there are two stalls to steal from, and if you train by stealing from one stall, you can reach up to 35k XP per hour. If you run between the two stalls, dropping fruits as you go, you can get over 40k XP per hour if you're focused. Overall, it's going to take 1 and a half to 2 hours to get to level 45. If you reach level 43, and you haven't completed the Feud quest yet, you should complete it. Doing the Feud gives enough experience to go from 43 to 45, and the quest is required for the next training method, which is unlocked at level 45. Levels 45 to 91 will be done blackjacking in Pollnivneach. A fast way there is to use a redirected house teleport tablet, or alternatively, you can go through the shanty pass and take the carpet. To blackjack, you need a blackjack of some sort, and the type does not matter. You get one after completing the Feud quest, so you can just use that. You should bring noted food with you, along with coins to un-note them at the exchange merchant. Alternatively, you can just bring coins to purchase wines from the bar nearby, instead of bringing your own food. But if you do bring your food, I would suggest bringing food that leaves an item behind in your inventory, like pies or stews. It's useful to have a full inventory while blackjacking so that you don't accidentally pickpocket the thug while they're not stunned. The game stops you because you can't receive the coin pouch with a full inventory. While training, you should trap a bandit in a house so it doesn't move. If you right-click a bandit, you can lure them over to you, and then you can close the door behind them to trap them in. If you fail to knock out the thug, it starts attacking you. But if you switch to another weapon and try to knock out the thug again, it takes you out of combat, so I suggest bringing another weapon with you to do that. You can also lure a thug to a room with a ladder, and go up and down the ladder if it starts attacking you. The process of blackjacking is to firstly knock out the bandit, then you pickpocket them twice while they're knocked out, and then you repeat that process, pickpocketing twice each time. So, from level 45 to 55, you can begin blackjacking bearded bandits in Pollnivneach. These bandits are found in the northern region of the town, and I recommend luring them into one of these houses. Here, you'll get around 100k XP per hour, and going from 45 to 55 will take about 1 hour. At 55 thieving, you unlock the non-bearded bandits, also located in the northern region of Pollnivneach. You can use the same houses that I just showed to trap them, and these give around 140k XP per hour, and will take around 2 hours for 65. At level 65, you unlock Menaphite thugs, located in the southwest region of Pollnivneach. I recommend luring and trapping the thugs in one of these houses. The blackjacking process is the same again with these, and your XP rates will range from 200k to 250k per hour on your journey to level 91, and 91 is going to take 25 hours from 65. From level 91, the fastest XP possible is obtained from playing the Pyramid Plunder minigame. For Pyramid Plunder, you need to have started the Icthlarin's Little Helper quest to access Sophonim, or you can use a Pharaoh Scepter teleport to bypass that. To get started with Pyramid Plunder, you firstly need to speak to Tarik between the two pyramids.
To start a game, you then need to find the Guardian Mummy in one of the entrances to the Northern Pyramid, or alternatively, a Pharaoh Scepter teleports you straight there. You then begin a Pyramid Plunder game by talking to the Mummy, and once you're inside, there's 8 rooms, each with a Thieving level requirement. At level 91, the strategy is to loot everything in the final room, and as much as possible in the second last room.

This means you'll be skipping the first 6 rooms, except for looting the Golden Chests in each. This gets you 270k XP per hour, and going from 91 to 99 is going to take 26 hours. So that was the fastest pathway, which in total takes around 60 hours to get to 99.
Alternative Methods Blackjacking is highly click intensive, so there's some alternative methods that I suggest doing to switch up your training. At level 49, and with 75% Piscarilius House favour, you can start stealing artifacts in the Piscarilius House. Stealing artifacts is faster than blackjacking up until level 65, but only if you're efficient. Beginners with this method are likely to get slower XP rates, but if you're looking to change up your training, it's worth a try. The method involves firstly speaking to Captain Kaled to get a task, then you steal the artifact from the houses to the west. You then need to evade the patrolling guards and return back to Captain Kaled. You can get up to 150k XP per hour at 49, scaling up to 185k at level 65. At level 55 thieving, you unlock Ardy knights, which require less attention when compared to the other training methods. With Ardy knights, you can take advantage of dodgy necklaces and the shadow veil spell, and it's strongly recommended to have the Ardy diaries completed. To find an Ardy knight to thieve, you can join a friends chat like Thieving Host or Splash Worlds. These clans have someone splashing the knight at the bank, so you can thieve conveniently. When you join their friends chat, you just look at the list of players to see what world they're mainly on, and that will be the world with a splasher. Overall, I strongly suggest doing at least some of your thieving training at Ardy knights. They're far more relaxed than the other methods, and don't require your full attention. Another alternative method worth mentioning is doing pyramid plunder from level 71. Pyramid plunder is slower than blackjacking, but it's still fast overall. The strategy is the same as before, where you loot all in the highest possible room, and then as much as you can in the second highest room. Profitable Methods Now let's look at the profitable thieving methods, and these have decent XP rates as well, so they can be done to switch up your training. At level 38, you can start pickpocketing master farmers. They give a range of seeds as loot, with some high value herb seeds being the biggest profit At level 38, you fail to pickpocket the farmer a lot of the time, so I don't suggest going at level 38. The master farmer really becomes profitable at level 94 thieving, where with the hard arty diary completed, you'll never fail to pickpocket. With level 82 thieving, and completion of the sins of the father quest, you can start pickpocketing vyars. These have a 1 in 5000 chance of giving a blood shard when thieved. This drop is doubled with the full rogues outfit, so the outfit is almost essential for this method. At 85 thieving, and with completion of song of the elves, you can pickpocket elves. There's a 1 in 1024 chance of getting an enhanced crystal teleport seed, and once again, that's doubled with the rogues outfit. The XP rates at elves are slower than vyars, because you fail a lot more. Guide Recap Anyways, that's my complete level 1-99 thieving guide.

What's going on guys, my name's Theoatrix and welcome to my updated level 1-99 Slayer Guide. In this guide, I'll show you everything you need to know to train your Slayer level in Old School. GUIDE CONTENTS Why Train Slayer How Slayer Works Slayer Masters Slayer Points Useful Unlocks Armour & Weapons Training Styles Low Level Training Fastest Experience Profitable Slayer AFK Slayer Most Slayer Points Slayer Tips & Tricks Ironman Tips If you'd prefer to watch a video version of this guide, you can watch that below. Otherwise you can continue down the page to read the written guide. Why Train Slayer So why should you train your Slayer? Slayer unlocks monsters that you can't normally kill, with some being the most profitable monsters in the game. Some of the Slayer bosses bring in millions, the most profitable being the Alchemical Hydra which nets close to 4 mil/hour. Overall, on your journey to 99 Slayer, you can make a lot of money depending on your playstyle. Ironmen also get a lot of benefits out of Slayer. The skill unlocks unique drops like the Abyssal Whip, the Trident, the Occult Necklace and more. For Ironmen to be raids-ready, they need to train their Slayer for these upgrades. Another reason to train Slayer is you level your combat stats as you go. Leveling to 99 Slayer gets you close to 99 in all of the combat stats. It's efficient combat experience, because your XP per hour is boosted by the effects of the Black Mask or the Slayer Helmet, which give a damage and accuracy boost on Slayer tasks.
10 quests in Old School have a Slayer level requirement. Some important ones include Desert Treasure 1, Animal Magnetism, The Fremennik Exiles and Monkey Madness 2. You need level 69 Slayer to get the Quest Cape, and you need level 95 Slayer for the Achievement Diary Cape. How Slayer Works Now let's get into the basics of the Slayer skill. By speaking to one of the 9 Slayer Masters in Old School, you're assigned a Slayer task. The task consists of a specific monster, and the quantity of that monster that you need to kill. Each Slayer Master assigns monsters from their own task list, and higher level Slayer Masters give harder and longer tasks. For every monster that you kill on your Slayer task, you're rewarded with Slayer experience equal to the total hit points of the monster. Some Slayer monsters require items to be able to kill them. Dust Devils for example require a face mask, otherwise your stats get drained. These Slayer items can be bought from any Slayer Master. When you complete your Slayer task, you gain a number of Slayer points depending on the Slayer Master. Slayer points give access to a wide range of Slayer-related rewards, and I'll talk more about Slayer points soon. Overall, Slayer is a skill that is significantly faster if you have high combat stats. It's extremely slow at a low combat level, so I would suggest starting Slayer at a minimum of 70 combat. However, I will be covering some low-level strategies in this guide. Slayer Masters Now I'm going to go over the Slayer Masters. There are 9 Slayer Masters in Old School. In Burthorpe there's Turael, who assigns short easy Slayer tasks. There are no requirements to use Turael, although he gives no Slayer points after completing a task. Spria is the most recently added Slayer Master, and she is Turael's daughter, located in Draenor Village. To be assigned a task from her, you need to have completed the Poresign of Interest quest. She assigns the same tasks as Turael, and also gives no points. Krystillia in Edgeville is the Wilderness Slayer Master. She has no requirements to use, apart from completing one regular Slayer task. She gives the most points out of any Master, although you have to complete her tasks in the Wilderness.
On her tasks, monsters drop Laran's Keys, which are worth over 170k on the Grand Exchange. In Canifis there's a Slayer Master named Mazchna. He requires level 20 combat to use, and assigns monsters mostly within Morytania. The tasks are great for low level accounts, although he gives very few Slayer points. Vannaka is the level 40 combat Slayer Master, and he resides in Edgeville Dungeon. He assigns some pretty difficult tasks for a level 40 account, including some Dragons tasks. At 70 combat, you can use Chaeldar in Zanaris. This means you need to complete the Lost City quest to access her. She assigns fairly efficient Slayer tasks, and gives a decent amount of points. A downside is that she assigns Iron Dragon tasks very commonly. At 75 combat, you can use Konar, who's in Mount Karuulm on Zeah. Konar assigns location-specific tasks, where you can only kill monsters in certain areas. On her tasks, you have a chance of getting a Brimstone Key, which you can use to open a chest near Konar for valuable loot. Nieve in the Treenome Stronghold is the level 85 Slayer Master. She is replaced with Steve after you complete Monkey Madness 2. Nieve assigns fast XP tasks, and is the closest Slayer Master to a teleport. The final Master is Duradel, located in Shiloh Village. To use his tasks, you need 100 combat and 50 Slayer. He assigns long, efficient tasks, and is the best Slayer Master to use for the fastest XP.
There's a neat update that Jagex introduced, where with 99 Slayer, you can access any Slayer Master regardless of the requirements. That means that Pures with low combat can access Duradel, Nieve and Konar at 99 Slayer. Slayer Points Now let's talk about Slayer Points. As I mentioned earlier, Slayer Points are rewarded for completing tasks. The Wilderness Slayer Master gives the most points, which is 25 per task, and Turael and Spria give 0 points. If you complete the Elite Kourend Diary, Konar rewards 2 more Slayer per task, and the Elite Western Provinces Diary boosts Nieve Slayer Points to match Duradel's. You don't get any Slayer Points for your first 4 tasks, but every 10 tasks you get a boosted amount of Slayer Points. You get 5 times the points every 10th task, 15 times every 50th, and it continues to 50 times for every 1000th. With these Slayer Points, you can spend them at any Slayer Master by right-clicking and selecting Rewards. There's 4 categories of rewards. There's Unlocks, where you can unlock new tasks, unlock Slayer items, or unlock utilities, like the Slayer Helmet. There's Extends, where you can increase the number of monsters assigned for certain tasks.
There's Buys, where you can trade Slayer Points for items, like Slayer Rings, Broad Bolts, and different Storage Bags. Lastly, there's Slayer Task Rewards, where you can block or skip a Slayer Task. The best unlock order for your Slayer Points comes down to your training style. In the Training Styles section, I'll talk more about point unlock order, but generally, this is the unlock order that most players go for. You firstly unlock Superior Slayer Monsters, and these give more XP. Then, you should spend points blocking tasks. Then, you unlock the Slayer Helmet. Useful Unlocks Next, I'd like to cover the useful unlocks that you should aim to have. There's a number of quests in Old School that unlock Slayer Tasks. For example, Horror from the Deep unlocks Dagonoth Tasks, Desert Treasure 1 unlocks Dust Devils, and starting Dragon Slayer 1 unlocks Dragons Tasks. There's a few other useful quests. Dwarf Cannon lets you use the multi-cannon, which greatly speeds up your tasks. Desert Treasure 1 unlocks the Ancient Spellbook, which is important for bursting, and partially completing Fairy Tale Part 2 lets you use Fairy Rings, which are almost essential. Levelling your crafting is also important for Slayer. With 54 Crafting and 400 Slayer Points, you can learn to craft Slayer Helmets, which combines multiple Slayer equipment into one helmet. With 75 Crafting and 300 Slayer Points, you can learn to craft Slayer Rings, which are vital for getting to Slayer locations the fastest. On top of these unlocks, you should also get Expeditious Bracelets and Bracelets of Slaughter. Expeditious Bracelets shorten your Slayer Task, whereas Bracelets of Slaughter extend your task. These are a must if you want the best XP rates. Iron Men should make these bracelets themselves, and you need 38 Crafting and 49 Magic to make them. It's also very useful to have an upgraded player-owned house. A house with teleports, a jewellery box, a fairy ring, restoration pool and an occult altar would be very beneficial. Armour & Weapons Next I'm going to talk about which armour and weapons you should use. With Slayer, it's recommended to mainly melee your tasks, while you use a cannon, and burst on the burstable tasks. Melee is the most popular main style, due to its low cost, although ranged is another fairly popular option. Magic is not recommended as your main combat style, and it should only be used when bursting. Now let's talk about melee combat. The best in slot for melee is the Fang, which is only 30mil right now. The Rapier, Inquisitor's Mace and Blade of Seldor are all second best in slot, and a cheaper option to use is a regular whip, which costs 1.7mil right now. As with melee armour, it's important to have the Dragon Defender unlocked. A Black Mask or a Slayer Helmet is also essential for Slayer training. The best in slot melee gear is Torva, although you can get away with a Fighter Torso and Obsidian Plate Legs as a far cheaper option. On some Slayer tasks, you'll want to wear magic defensive gear. Masori is the best in slot, but Dragonhide does the trick. Don't use Armadyl, because it gives a negative melee attack bonus. When slaying, for a lot of tasks, you'll want to use Protection Prayers. After the Slug Menace quest, you can use Proselyte, which gives the highest prayer bonus. Monk Robes are second best, and they give the same bonus as Initiate and God Vestment Robes. With ranged, if you cannon as many tasks as possible from level 1 to 99 Slayer, you'll get over 90 ranged. This assumes you're using melee as your main combat style. But if you do choose to use ranged as your main style, a Bofa, a Blowpipe or a Magic Shortbow are the best. As with ranged armour, these are the best options to use. Masori is best in slot, although Black Dehide is a cost-effective option. You should always use an imbued Black Mask or an imbued Slayer Helmet if you're ranging. The imbue gives damage and accuracy boosts to ranged, and it can be imbued at the Nightmare Zone, Soul Wars or the PvP Arena. For magic, you'll need a set up for bursting. For a weapon, you should bring at least an Ancient Staff to autocast Ancient Magics. The Kodai Wand is the best in slot, currently costing 83 mil. For mage armour, Ancestral is the best in slot, and God Vestment Robes are a good option because of their prayer bonus. You should have an imbued Black Mask or imbued Slayer Helmet as well, plus always bring an Occult Necklace. Training Styles Now let's get into the training styles. There's 5 training styles that I'm going to cover. Low Level Training, The Fastest Experience, Profitable Slayer, AFK Slayer and Getting the Most Slayer Points. Low Level Training Upon speaking to a Slayer Master and retrieving your first Slayer Task, you'll receive an Enchanted Gem. This lets you check your current task, and how many you have left. At level 1 Slayer, I suggest completing the Varok Museum Quiz to get straight to level 9. Then you can complete the Porcine of Interest quest to get to level 13, plus you get 30 Slayer Points as a reward. At a low combat level, I recommend using the Canifis Slayer Master, since all of his tasks are close by to him. Vanakka can be used at 40 combat, but he assigns Dragons and harder tasks, so I don't recommend him at level 40. If you're starting Slayer at a high combat level, then you can start with Slayer Masters like Chaeldar or Nieve for decent XP rates. Fastest Experience For the Fastest Slayer Experience in Old School, you'll be extending burstable tasks with Slayer Points and the Bracelet of Slaughter. Then you'll be using the Expeditious Bracelet and a cannon on tasks that aren't burstable. Then you'll skip and block the absolute slowest tasks, regardless of how profitable they are. Duradel is the best master to use for the fastest experience. And next is Nieve or Steve. You should not use Konar if you're going for the fastest XP. These are the tasks that you should skip. All of these tasks are not cannonable and slow. In terms of tasks you should block, it depends on the task weightings, which means how often they get assigned. On the screen, I have the suggested blocks for Duradel and Nieve, taking into account their task weightings. With your Slayer Points, this is the unlock order that you should use. You should always start with Bigger and Badder for the extra Slayer XP, then block tasks, extend Dust Devils and Necroyals, then unlock the Slayer Helmet and Slayer Rings. As I mentioned, you should always be using the Bracelet of Slaughter on burstable tasks, and you should always use the Expeditious Bracelet on any other task that you do. Profitable Slayer Now for the most profitable Slayer training. For this, you won't be bursting or using a cannon, and you'll be blocking and skipping tasks that don't make money, even if they're really fast XP. The best Slayer Masters to use for money are Konar and Crystillia, although you can make good money from Duradel and Nieve as well. As I mentioned earlier, you get Brimstone Keys on Konar's Slayer tasks, and each key averages 86k in loot. Krystilia is the Wilderness Master, and her tasks drop Larence Keys. There are a number of tasks you should unlock to make more profit, some of them require quests, and others can be unlocked with Slayer Points. These are the tasks you should skip if you're going for the most profit. Despite Dagonoths and Kalphites being decent experience, they don't drop anything valuable. As with blocks, once again, it depends on the Slayer Master. And on the screen, I have the blocks for Konar, Duradel and Nieve. If you want, you can take a screenshot to save it.
With your Slayer Points, you should start with Bigger and Badder, then Block Tasks, then you unlock Aviances and Lizardmen, and then unlock the Slayer Helmet and Slayer Rings. AFK Slayer Now for AFK Slayer. To AFK, you'll be fighting aggressive monsters, monsters that you can stack in multi, and you'll be using a cannon. Aggressive monsters in old school stay aggressive for 10-20 minutes, depending on the monster. This lets you sit AFK until they stop attacking you. In multi-combat areas, you can attack multiple enemies at once, and then AFK and you'll kill them one by one. Using a cannon, you can AFK for 5 minutes at a time, or up to 10 minutes with the combat achievements. To AFK the longest, you can use either Guthans or a prayer bonus setup. Wearing Full Proselyte with Protect from Melee active lasts 10 minutes, for 70 prayer points. On tasks that you can AFK for a long time, you should be using Bracelets of Slaughter to extend them. On tasks that aren't very AFK, you should use Expeditious Bracelets. As with skipping tasks for AFK experience, you'll want to skip Dragons tasks, as well as other non-AFK tasks, regardless of their XP rate and how profitable they are. You'll block non-AFK tasks that have the highest task weighting. These are the blocklists for Duradel and Nieve for AFK Slayer training. With your Slayer points, you should start with unlocking Gargoyle Smasher, then Shroom Sprayer. These reduce the amount of clicking required to kill Gargoyles and Zygomites. Then block tasks, unlock the Slayer Helmet, Slayer Rings, then Bigger and Badder. Most Slayer Points Now, to get the most Slayer points in Old School, there's 2 different methods. You can use either the Wilderness Slayer Master, or you can boost with Konar. Wilderness Slayer is up to 250 points per hour. For the fastest points, you can take a Cannon with you into the Wilderness, but I advise taking as little as 300 Cannonballs. You can also burst some Slayer tasks in the Wilderness Slayer Caves, although it's very dangerous to do. For Wilderness Slayer, some players choose not to skip or block any tasks, but on the screen are some suggestions of tasks you might consider skipping. It's up to you which tasks you want to block out of these. With your Slayer points, you should firstly unlock the I Wildy More Slayer reward, which is free, then Bigger and Badder, then the Slayer Helmet. Next is Konar boosting, and this involves doing 9 tasks at Turael in Berthorpe, then completing the 10th task milestone at Konar. With the right teleports, boosting is pretty effortless, and you can get up to 200 Slayer points per hour. In the description, I've linked a Konar boosting guide with all of the information that you'll need. Slayer Tips & Tricks Now, I'm going to show some Slayer tips and tricks that will greatly improve your training. If you get a Slayer task from a Slayer Master and it's too difficult, you can go to Turael and get an easier task at the expense of resetting your task streak. You start getting points from the 5th task in your task streak, so it's recommended to use Turael for the first 4 tasks. There are certain monsters you should be careful running past, particularly in the Morytania Slayer Tower. If you don't wear the right items, your stats get drained very quickly. There's a number of alternative monsters that you can kill that provide better XP rates or profit on certain Slayer tasks. On the screen are some of them. Reanimating ensouled Heads is a notable one, where you can train Prayer while you complete your Slayer task. It's very beneficial to learn how to Prayer Flick. You can Prayer Flick Protection Prayers or you can Prayer Flick Offensive Prayers as well. When you're using a cannon in a single way combat area, it acts as if it's multi-combat if you're in a safe spot. This is very useful in Nieve's Cave. If you get assigned a Jad Slayer task, you can skip it for free by entering and exiting the Fight Caves. You can complete some Slayer tasks in the Nightmare Zone. You can complete Black Demons, Hellhounds or Trolls. If you've completed Lunar Diplomacy and have 67 Magic, you can use NPC Contact to contact Slayer Masters. This means you can get a new task very quickly from anywhere. Ironman Tips Now for some Iron Man Slayer tips. As an Iron Man, you can follow the same training styles that I've shown earlier in the video. A key difference though is the use of a cannon. Cannoning is not efficient as an Iron Man, since cannonballs take a very long time to make. Making cannonballs is only worth it if you're solely looking for something to AFK and you have the mold from the Giant's Foundry. As an Iron Man, the Herb Sack is particularly useful with Slayer. You'll come across thousands of herbs on your journey to 99 Slayer, and it's best not to miss any. Conclusion Anyways, that's my updated level 1-99 Slayer guide for Old School. Thanks for reading.

What’s going on guys! My name is Theoatrix , and welcome to my updated level 1–99 Hunter Guide for OSRS . Guide Contents Methods Overview Fastest Pathway Alternative Methods Birdhouse Runs Hunter Rumours Ironman Hunter If you'd prefer to watch a video version of this guide, you can watch that below. Otherwise you can continue down the page to read the written guide. Methods Overview This is an overview of the hunting methods in this guide: The fastest pathway from 1 to 99 Hunter, takes around 75 hours. This includes a range of training methods like hunting birds, salamanders, kebbits, and chinchompas. After the fastest pathway I’ll cover alternative training methods which have their own benefits, but are not the fastest Hunter XP. There are the new Tecu Salamanders, Red Chinchompas, Herbiboar, Aerial fishing, and Drift Net fishing. After the Alternative methods, I’m going to show the AFK methods, and as I mentioned, Pyre foxes are a new AFK Hunter method unlocked at level 51. Maniacal monkeys are great for AFK experience, but they do require Monkey Madness 2. Afterwards, I’ll cover Birdhouse runs, which are an efficient Hunter method if done quickly, then I’ll cover the new Hunter Rumours in Varlamore and then Ironman Hunter training. Over the years, Hunter has become less click-intensive with Runelite, and the addition of herbiboar, maniacal monkeys, and more. With this guide, I suggest following the fastest pathway. Fastest Pathway Now let's move into the fastest pathway, and I’m going to show these methods in order, going from level 1 to 99. These are all of the items you'll need for this pathway. You'll need different types of traps, some teleports, and some potions. Varrock Museum - 1-9 So to get started, make your way to Varrock, northeast to the museum. Head 1 level downstairs and speak to Orlando Smith to start the natural history quiz . Then, the idea is that you need to answer the questions correctly on all of the display cases on this floor. (Runelite highlights the correct answers by default) So you go around, clockwise or anti-clockwise, answering the questions for each display case. And once you've completed them all, you return to Orlando Smith and he rewards you with 1000 Hunter and Slayer experience, getting you straight to level 9 Hunter. Copper Longtails - 9-12 Next, you'll need a butterfly net, at least 3 Hunter potions, 2 bird snares, at least 2 butterfly jars, 4 stamina potions, and a teleport to Piscatoris. The easiest way there is with a Piscatoris teleport scroll which you can buy off the Grand Exchange. Alternatively, there are some other ways to get there which I’m showing on the map. Make your way to this part of piscatoris, near the western fence of the falconry, and set up a bird's snare in the darker patch on the map. Next, you wait a little while, until a bird is lured over. And you check the trap, then reset it, and wait again. You'll repeat this until level 12, which is going to take 5 to 10 minutes. Copper + Ruby (boosted) - 12-20 At level 12 Hunter, you can boost with a Hunter potion to catch Ruby Harvest butterflies. These almost triple your XP rate if you catch them while you hunt birds. The best location to do this is in the area shown, and here, there are a number of birds near butterfly spawns. I suggest using Runelite to tag the butterflies with the NPC indicators plugin. You hold shift and right click a butterfly and select tag all. Then once you’re ready, set up a bird snare, then take a sip of a Hunter potion, and a sip of a stamina potion, then click the closest butterfly to catch it. Once caught, you can hold shift and click on the butterfly jar to release the butterfly, and that only works if you have shift drop enabled. Then, you continue clicking butterflies, and repeat. You'll want to keep an eye on your bird snare as well, and reset it as soon as it's ready. This is the fastest way to train Hunter from level 12 to 20 and will take under 30 minutes to get there. Moss Lizards - 20-27/39 At level 20, moss lizards give the fastest XP. These are caught within the Moons of Peril, so you need to complete the Perilous Moons quest to hunt them. If you don’t have the stats for the quest, you should continue with Crimson Swift birds and Ruby Harvest butterflies until level 27. The Perilous Moons quest rewards you with a 5 thousand Hunter experience, which will get you from level 20 to 26 Hunter. So you really only have to do moss lizards from 26 to 27 Hunter to reach the next goal. However, moss lizards are actually on par with the next training methods until level 39. So you could continue with these until 39, but I'm including both pathways in this guide in case you don’t have the stats for Perilous moons. For moss lizards, you need just 1 rope, and stamina potions are handy, but if you’re an Ironman, there's a place to replenish run in the area. Make your way to perilous moons, so the fastest way there would be to teleport with a Calcified Moth. Alternatively, the Quetzal transport can take you to the entrance of Cam Torum, if you've built the landing site. Once you’re in Cam Torum, run all the way north to enter the Moons of Peril. When inside, take the northwestern pathway to enter the earthbound cavern, then follow your way around until you reach the moss lizards' hunter area. Once you’re here, you firstly set up the traps by clicking on each of the rocks. Then, you rustle the nearby bush to send off moss lizards into your traps. For the next time you set up the traps, you should follow the 1, 3 then 2, 4 pattern. Catching these is the fastest experience from when you unlock them, although the combat requirement of the quest may be too tough for some accounts. So otherwise, you should just stick to the previous method, birds and butterflies until level 27. Eagles Peak Quest 27-29 At 27 Hunter you can complete the Eagles Peak quest for 2.5k Hunter XP. This quest unlocks box trap hunting and is required for future methods on this pathway. It's a fairly short quest, and with the Hunter XP reward, you can go from level 27 to 29 which unlocks the next training method. I've linked slayermusiq's eagles peak quest guide for you to enjoy. Swamp Lizards 29-39 At 29, you unlock swamp lizards in Morytania. For these, you need to have completed the Priest in Peril quest. That’s a quest that almost every account should complete, so if you haven't done it yet, its worth doing just for the swamp lizards' hunter method. So, to catch swamp lizards, you'll need at least 3 ropes and small fishing nets. And also bring a bit of food if you’re a low level. A fast way to swamp lizards is by teleporting to Canafis and running south east. Alternatively the ALQ fairy ring is close by and you run south west. At level 29 Hunter, you can use 2 traps at a time, and the best location to do 2 traps is this area here. This is the order you should follow: You first set up both traps, then wait until a trap is triggered by a lizard. If you successfully catch the lizard, you just click the trap to get your Hunter XP and the lizard. If you fail to catch it, you'll need to pick up your rope and net from the ground, then click to reset the trap. At level 37 Hunter, you can boost to use 3 traps at a time with Hunter potions. So you should do this from 37 to 39 Hunter. Embertailed Jerboa 39-43 Once you reach level 39, you can catch Embertailed Jerboa. To access them, you need to complete the Children of the Sun quest to enter Varlamore. It's a short and easy quest with low requirements. To catch Jerboa, you need to use box traps, which require the Eagle's Peak quest. You can buy box traps off the Grand Exchange, or if you’re an Ironman, the Hunter shop in Yanille is easily accessible and sells them. So, to get started, bring at least 5 box traps, then make your way east of the Hunter guild. The fastest way there is with the AJP fairy ring, or you can also use a Varlamore teleport and then run south. You should bring a few extra box traps in case you go AFK. At level 39 you can only set up 2 traps at a time, but as soon as you reach level 40 you can set up 3. Without tick manipulation, you should turn off menu entry swapper to ensure that the "check" option on the box trap is the left click option. If you want more AFK experience, you can swap "check" with "reset", which checks your traps and sets up another one automatically, but at a slower rate. You can also use tick manipulation to set up box traps more quickly. At a low Hunter level though, you won't benefit as much from tick manipulation since your catch rate is slower. So, if you want to learn about 3ticking Hunter, I talk all about it in the black chinchompa's section. Falconry spotted kebbits 43-57 Once you reach level 43, you can partake in the falconry. For this, you'll just need at least 500 coins to be able to hire a falcon to use. The easiest way to the falconry is to use a piscatoris teleport scroll off the Grand Exchange and run south east. Alternatively you can use the AKQ fairy ring and run east. Once you're here, you firstly talk to Mattias near the entrance and ask if you can have a go with his bird. The idea of the falconry is you set your bird off to catch kebbits for you, and then you retrieve the bird to claim the Hunter experience. If you focus and play actively, you can get decent XP rates here for such a low Hunter level. So you'll start with targeting the spotted kebbits at level 43, and this is the best area to stand in for the fastest experience. It's handy to use Runelite at the falconry so that you can tag the right kebbits. Falconry dark kebbits 57-60 At level 57, you'll continue at the falconry, but you'll switch to dark kebbits for the fastest experience. The process is the same as spotted kebbits, except now this is the best area to stand in, since there's 2 kebbit spawns. Red Salamanders 60-67 At level 60 Hunter you should move onto Red salamanders. These are actually unlocked at level 59, but since you can only use 3 traps at 59, the falconry is faster, so you should wait until level 60 Hunter. To catch salamanders, you need small fishing nets and ropes, and again you should bring a few extra with you incase you lose some. I would recommend wearing Graceful because you'll be doing a fair bit of running around. Red salamanders are located near the Ourania Altar. An easy way there is to teleport to Castle Wars and run north. Or you can also use an Ourania teleport from the lunar spellbook, or there is a spirit tree close by. This is the best spot to catch them and at level 60 Hunter, you can use all 4 traps in this area. You should turn on Shift Drop to release the salamanders more easily after you catch them, and you should follow the same process as I mentioned for swamp lizards. You can also catch these with 4 traps at 57 Hunter, with a Hunter potion boost. Black Salamanders 67-73 At level 67, the fastest experience is with black salamanders. These are located in the Wilderness, so you should never bring any valuables with you while doing black salamanders, and hardcore ironmen should try an alternative method or birdhouse runs, which I’ll show soon. So, to get there, you can teleport with a Burning amulet, or a ring of dueling to Ferox. Alternatively a Carrallanger Teleport or the Wilderness Obelisks can take you close by. It's not a super popular PK area, mostly because PKers don’t usually get any loot here, but you will still need to keep an eye out for people just to save you from having to come back here and waste time. The process is the same as other salamanders. You firstly set up all of the traps, then wait until one catches one or gets dismantled. Then you check the trap or pick up the rope and net, then you click to reset the trap. Overall you can get up to 125k Hunter XP per hour here which is quite fast. 73-99 Black Chinchompas At level 73 Hunter, you unlock the fastest training method in the game, black chinchompas. You need the Eagle's Peak quest to be able to catch these since they're caught with box traps. These are located in the Wilderness and its pretty common for PKers to come here. The fastest way to them is with a Revenant Cave teleport scroll, which is under 300 coins on the Grand Exchange. Ironmen can get there from the Burning amulet, Lava Maze teleport, or the ring of dueling Ferox teleport. Black chinchompas are the fastest experience in the game normally but can be an even faster experience if you tick trap placement and kill stray chinchompas, you can get up to and over 250k Hunter XP per hour. You can set up your traps in most of the Hunter areas between the trees, but I prefer setting up traps in this area here. You can hunt these without 3 ticking, and it’s the same as Embertailed Jerboa where you can either check or reset the box traps. For the fastest experience, you should 3 tick trap placements. To 3 tick, you need items that can start a 3 tick cycle, and those options are all on the screen now. I recommend using herb and tar since you can bring grimy herbs with you incase you accidentally finish the action. So, to 3 tick, you should use menu entry swapper to set the left click option for box traps to "reset". Then you wait until a trap has caught a chinchompa and you go to reset it, and as soon as it disappears, so as soon as you’ve collected the chinchompas, you start the 3 tick action. Then your character will set up the trap faster than you normally would. So then you can click on the next box trap, and repeat the process. This also works when the box trap gets dismantled, so when you reset it, you can 3 tick to speed it up. Bringing a bow and arrows with you is useful for killing the stray chinchompas. If you have an alt account with membership, you can speed up your training even further so that you can kill while hunting. As soon as a chinchompa spawns, there's a chance that it will target one of your box traps. But if it doesn’t, you should kill the stray chinchompa so that it respawns nearby and has another chance of going into your box trap. A recap of the fastest pathway (taking 75 hours total) is above. Now on to the alternative methods which have their own benefits. Alternative Methods Tecu Salamander - 79-99 With Varlamore, came a great alternative Hunter method, Tecu Salamanders. These give around 150k Hunter XP per hour at 99 Hunter, and are unlocked at level 79. These are the XP rates you can expect from Tecu Salamanders. You get about 95k XP per hour with 4 traps, but as soon as you reach level 80 with 5 traps, it jumps to 110k XP per hour. To catch these, you only need the Children of the Sun quest to enter Varlamore. These require small fishing nets and ropes to catch since they’re salamanders. The fastest way there is to take the Quetzal transportation to Cam Torum, which requires the built landing site. Alternatively, you can take the Quetzal to the north, or you can just run west from the main city. These are the trap locations you should use. While hunting here, you mostly get immature Salamanders, but at a rare rate, you can get a Tecu Salamander, which you can use for combat or sell for a profit. They're a decent money maker at the moment since they're selling for over 200K each. Red Chinchompas - 80-99 At level 80 Hunter, once you can place 5 traps, Red Chinchompas become a fairly efficient Hunter training method, all the way to 99. Your XP rates with red chinchompas really depend on whether you use tick manipulation to reset your traps. You can get up to 195k XP per hour with tick manipulation or 140k XP per hour without. Red chinchompas are best hunted in Feldip hills. You can hunt in this region in the outer world, or you can use the private Hunting grounds with the Hard Western Provinces Diary. The entrance to this is located to the south in the Feldip hills. The fastest way to the Feldip hills is to use a Feldip hills teleport scroll off the Grand Exchange. Alternatively, you can use the AKS fairy ring, or there's a spirit tree in Feldip hills as well. Overall, Red Chinchompas are particularly useful for Ironmen, but still provide a fast way to train Hunter for regular accounts. Herbiboar 80-99 An excellent alternative method, which is far less click intensive, is hunting Herbiboar. This is done on Fossil Island so this requires the bone voyage quest, along with 80 Hunter. The XP rates at herbiboar are higher than red chinchompas but lower than black chinchompas. You can get up to 170k Hunter XP per hour here, at 99. To hunt Herbiboar, you don’t actually need any items, but magic secateurs will yield you an extra herb for every herbiboar you catch. A herb sack is very useful here, allowing you to store the herbs you get. By default on Runelite, there's a plugin called Herbiboar. This shows the starter objects and the trail, which makes this a lot easier. So to catch a herbiboar, you need to find a starter object and just click on it. Your player will search it and start a trail, which you can follow to search the next object. You continue searching objects until you reach the end of the trail, where a herbiboar will spawn. You can then click on the herbiboar to harvest herbs off its back. Overall, this is a less click-intensive, but it’ll be a fast way to train Hunter, and I would strongly recommend at least trying it on your journey to 99 Hunter. Aerial fishing - 35-99 If you're looking to train fishing as well as Hunter, aerial fishing is a decent option. This is done on Molch Island on Zeah, which has no requirements to access, except you do need 35 Hunter and 43 fishing to partake. Your XP rates reach up to 80k Hunter while getting 60k fishing at the same time. At lower levels, its still decent, giving 28k Hunter XP per hour when you unlock it. To get started with aerial fishing, talk to Alry the Angler On Molch Island. They give you a cormorant, a bird. You then need bait, and you can pick up king worms on Molch Island, then you can use a knife on the fish you catch to get more bait. You make your way to the edges of the island, and click on the fishing spots to send your bird out to catch fish. You repeatedly do this for consistent fishing and Hunter experience. Overall, aerial fishing is not the most efficient training method for Hunter, but it can be worth doing if you need to train fishing as well. Its also great for the rewards, or to switch up your training. Drift Net fishing - 44-99 Another alternative method is drift net fishing, and drift netting is a very efficient training method in terms of XP rates. You get up to 115k Hunter and 87k fishing XP per hour at 99. If you consider that you’re getting both of those at the same time, its actually the most efficient Hunter and fishing training method in the game. You need level 44 Hunter and 47 fishing to do drift net fishing, and its located underwater on Fossil Island, so you need Bone Voyage. You should also get the fishbowl helmet and diving apparatus from the Freeing Pirate Pete subquest of Recipe for Disaster . It's strongly recommended to bring flippers as well as any type of trident. You can also pay numulites to send your catches to the bank, so bring some numulite. For this method, you do need drift nets which you can buy off the Grand Exchange, or ironmen can make them with jute fibres. You use about 100 drift nets per hour here. There's an NPC in the area called Anette which you can store drift nets with. So if you’re just getting started, bring noted drift nets to give to her, then you can withdraw them for free while you train. So from the diving spot on Fossil Island, make your way north Into the drift net fishing area. Once inside, you can set up the two drift nets. Then, you click on the fish around the area to chase them into the drift nets. Once the net is full, you click it and can send the fish straight to the bank with numulite. This is the most efficient Hunter and fishing training method in the game, and you can see that from the huge amounts of XP that I’m getting. Overall, I recommend drift net fishing if you’re looking to efficiently max, but if you’re going for 99 Hunter the fastest, this is not your best option. AFK Methods There's only 2 viable Hunter training methods that can be considered AFK, and they are maniacal monkeys or pyre foxes. Pyre Fox - 51 - 99 Pyre foxes are unlocked at level 51 and are found on Varlamore, so you need the Children of the sun quest to access them. The AFK intervals at pyre foxes last around 20 to 40 seconds. The XP rates for these reaches only 40k XP per hour at 99 so I would only recommend foxes if you can't complete Monkey Madness 2 , because maniacal monkeys are a fair bit faster. Foxes are caught with deadfall traps, so you need logs and a knife to set one up. You should bring along an axe because there's trees nearby to get an infinite supply of logs. Pyre foxes are located near the Hunter guild. So the best way there is with a Quetzal whistle from Hunter rumours… alternatively you can take the Quetzal transport system there, or you can use the AJP fairy ring and run west.. So catching these is simple. You click to set up the trap, and you can only set up 1 trap at a time at all levels, then you wait until you catch a fox, and click it to get XP and then again to reset your trap. Maniacal Monkeys - 60 - 99 So at level 60 Hunter, you unlock the best AFK Hunter method in the game, maniacal monkeys. As mentioned, these require Monkey Madness 2 to catch. Maniacal monkeys provide 50k XP per hour when you unlock them, and it scales to over 100k XP per hour at higher levels. To catch maniacal monkeys, you need bananas and there's a few ways to obtain them. As a main account, you can buy baskets of bananas off the Grand Exchange, and you can bring an inventory of those for the most AFK training. You can also bring along bones to bananas, the spell, or the tablets, and since there are bones scattered around the area, you can pick these up for an unlimited banana source. As an Ironman, I would recommend just doing bones to bananas . Also for maniacal monkeys, you need a Kruk monkey greegree, which you get during Money Madness 2, although if you’ve lost it, you can easily get one back from the quest NPC. So to get to maniacal monkeys, you make your way to a gnome glider, and the easiest way to one is using a royal seed pod teleport and going to the top of the Grand Tree. Take the glider to ape a toll. Then run to the hidden trapdoor in the trees. From the ladder, run north To the monkey bars, and here, you'll need to equip the Kruk monkey greegree to go across. Then run further north And go into the crevice In the wall. Now you're at the maniacal monkey Hunter area. If there's another player here, I would recommend hopping worlds since you get the maximum XP if you're training here alone. Then run to the loading bays and mount a gorilla, and you need to be on a gorilla to be able to hunt here. Next, you click on a boulder to set up a trap with a banana. Then, you can go AFK for 30 seconds to a minute, and then you click the trap to check it, and click it again to reset it, then you can go AFK again. Take note, if you’re using bones to bananas, you do have to run outside of the arena to cast the spell since your spellbook is hidden when you're wearing a greegree. Birdhouse Runs Birdhouse runs are a time-based Hunter training method, where every 50 minutes you can set up bird houses to collect birds nests and Hunter experience. Birdhouse runs are great for people that enjoy routine based methods, and these give fairly competitive XP rates if you convert it to an hourly rate. BUT that’s only if you do really fast birdhouse runs, and quickly return to what you were doing previously. You can see that if you do 1 minute 30 runs, your XP rates are quite high when they’re hourly. This is how you do a birdhouse run: You'll need 4 birdhouses which you can buy off the Grand Exchange, or you can make one with clockwork and logs. You'll also need some seeds, and I recommend hops, flower or allotment seeds, you'll need 10 Per birdhouse. So then you make your way to Fossil Island, and I would suggest teleporting to Fossil Island With a Digsite pendant. Then take the Mushroom Teleport System to the verdant valley, and click on the birdhouse Hunter spot. Then you Use seeds on it to set it up fully. Then you click on the second spot in verdant Valley and do the same thing. Then using the Mushtree teleport system, teleport to mushroom meadow And go to the birdhouse spot to the north. Then once you’ve done that you run down south towards the swamp to the final birdhouse. Then you can teleport out and get back to whatever you were doing. Hunter Rumours With the release of Varlamore, Jagex introduced Hunter rumours. These are sort of like contracts, where you're assigned a monster to hunt. To do rumours, you need access to the Hunter guild which requires 46 Hunter and the " At first light " Quest acts as an introduction to the Hunters guild.. There are 4 tiers of rumours ranging from level 46 To 91, each giving a different amount of experience and reward value at the end. From rumours, the rewards include the new guild Hunter outfit, which increases your chances of catching a Hunter monster, effectively increasing your Hunter XP rates. You can get the Quetzal whistles from rumours, which are teleports players to the Hunter guild. There's also the Quetzal pet, which is a very rare reward from rumours. Overall, Hunter rumours provide very competitive XP rates if you do them efficiently, and they’re a great way to train if you don’t like doing the same Hunter method over and over again. Rumours allow you to experience a range of different Hunter techniques and monsters around the game. So this is a run through of completing a rumour: You start off by going downstairs in the Hunter's guild and speaking to a guild Hunter for a rumour. I then head to the bank upstairs to get the required teleport and items for hunting. Then I make my way to Tecu Salamanders which are my Hunter task, and then I catch these until I received the salamander claw , which is the unique item needed to complete the Hunter rumour. Then I head back to the Hunter's Guild and return to the Guild Hunter Wolf (Master) to complete it, and I’m rewarded with a Hunters loot sack reward. You can block certain rumours by getting the monster assigned by a lower level guild master which is key to getting the best XP rates. Ironman Hunter As an Ironman, training Hunter is similar to training it on a main account. You can follow the fastest pathway that I showed in this video, except there are a few key differences. Chinchompas are great to have on an Ironman for both bossing and training, so consider prioritizing training at red or black chinchompas. Herbiboar is also excellent on an Ironman, for the source of herbs and decent Hunter experience. Hardcore Ironmen should avoid doing Black Salamanders and Black Chinchompas obviously because of the Wilderness, so Red Chinchompas or Tecu Salamanders are an inviting option for Hardcores. Anyway, that’s my updated level 1 to 99 Hunter guide for Old School. If you missed something, use the content guide at the top of the page to navigate through every step of 1-99 Hunting.

What’s going on guys! My name is Theoatrix , and welcome to my level 1–99 Construction Guide for OSRS . Guide Contents Why Train Construction? Your Path to 99 Low Level Training Oak Larders (Lvl 33+) Mounted Mythical (Lvl 50+) Mahogany Table (Lvl 52+) Teak Benches (Lvl 66+) Oak Doors (Lvl 74+) Gnome Benches (Lvl 77+) Mahogany Homes Maxing Your House Ironman Tips If you'd prefer to watch a video version of this guide, you can watch that below. Otherwise you can continue down the page to read the written guide. Why Train Construction? With the Construction Skill, you build and upgrade your player-owned house As you level up, you implement teleport facilities, regeneration pools, spellbook altars, and more… All extremely useful features for your account. With 83 construction, you can boost to create a maxed house. Recently, Jagex improved player-owned house loading times, so you can now benefit from all of these rooms without impacting the loading time Construction is one of the fastest 99s in the game, taking as little as 16 hours for level 99 with mahogany planks. However, Construction is an expensive and click-intensive skill. With the release of Mahogany Homes, Jagex has lowered the cost and intensity of Construction You can now get 99 Construction for as little as 30 mil using Novice Contracts. The Construction Skillcape has one of the best perks in the game, providing unlimited teleports to your player-owned house. Your Path to 99 With leveling your Construction, there are 2 methods at your disposal, Traditional Training or Mahogany Homes. Traditional training involves building and removing furniture inside your player-owned house repeatedly. With Mahogany Homes, you repair furniture in various houses across the Runescape map. In short, traditional training is faster XP per hour, more expensive, and more click intensive, whereas Mahogany Homes are slower but less expensive and click intensive. You can see from the XP rates on the screen, that traditional methods are considerably faster than Mahogany Homes, but also cost quite a lot more. In this guide, I'll show you each of the traditional training methods, and I'll explain mahogany homes afterward. This is how much it currently costs to reach level 83 construction and max hour house. Getting to level 83 allows you to boost with spices and a crystal saw to create everything you need except for the fully upgraded Portal Nexus.. if you want the Nexus, you should go for 84. It's going to cost anywhere from 6 mil to 41 mil to get from level 1 to 83, and on top of that, you'll need 15 mil to buy the materials needed to upgrade your house. With the release of this article, I made a Construction Calculator on theoatrix.net which shows the gp per XP of every method, along with the cost of 83 and 99. Low Level Training At a low construction level, your options are still either traditional training or mahogany homes. From level 1, you can complete the Daddy's Home mini-quest to reach level 8 construction, and it also acts as an introduction to Mahogany Homes and gives you a player-owned house. For Daddy's home, the items you need are on the screen now, plus the recommended teleports. For Daddy's home, the items you need are on the screen now, plus the recommended teleports. If you want to do mahogany homes for your low-level training, you should skip to the mahogany homes section of this guide. Although, I would suggest traditional training at a low level since it's much faster. For traditional training, your first goal is to reach level 33 construction for oak larders. On the screen is all of the furniture you'll need to build and remove in your player-owned house to reach level 33. In total, it takes around 20 minutes to reach the goal, and costs around 180k including the cost to build rooms in your house. To reach level 33, you'll need a teleport to Falador, a teleport to house, 94 Planks, 270 Oak planks, 200 steel nails, and 30K coins. Have all of those planks noted in your inventory, and use the Falador teleport. From the Falador teleport spot, run east to the estate agent and ask how can I get a house then purchase a starter house in Rimmington for 1k. Then right-click your teleport to house, and teleport outside the portal. Head over to the nearby general store and use your noted regular planks on Phials, then select "All". Then, right-click the purple house portal and select building mode to enter your own house in building mode. To build furniture, you right-click the white furniture spots, and then you can select what you want to build. Once you’ve built it, you right-click it and remove it so you can build another for more XP. You start by building crude wooden chairs. Followed by wooden bookcases. Next, you need to get more planks, you exit your house, run to the nearby general store, and un-note at Phials. At level 9, you need to build a kitchen room. To do this, you right-click a door hotspot to create a room. From there, you can follow the rest of the pathway shown to reach level 33. You'll need to build a workshop room and a dining room when you get to the level and continue unnoting at Phials. Oak Larders So now that you're level 33, oak larders become the best traditional training method. Oak larders are done until you unlock your main method, so this could be anywhere from level 50 to level 74. On the screen right now is how many oak planks you need to reach each method. While you are training, I suggest playing on resizable mode. This way, you can right-click and left-click in the same spot by putting the construction object in the bottom part of your screen. On Runelite, you can set up guides with the screen marker plugin. You press the plus in the top right, then draw boxes where you'll be clicking. You should also be using your keyboard to go through the menus, by pressing the numbers., this greatly speeds up your XP rates, and you can use your keyboard in the construction building menu, talk to your butler, and with removing furniture. From levels 33 to 40, you'll be unnoting planks at Phials but at level 40, you can hire a butler to bring items from the bank. You can get a servant from level 20 construction, but the servants below the human butler are too slow and you're better off unnoting your planks at the exchange merchant. So once you reach level 40 construction, to get a servant, you first need to create 2 bedrooms in your house, and you need to build a bed in each of the rooms. Once you’ve done that, head over to Ardougne and go to the servants guild which is in the northeast corner. Then speak to the human butler to hire him. At level 50, you can get the demon butler, which is even faster, and you should fire the human butler and go and hire the demon butler once you unlock it. To use a servant, you talk to them and ask them to bring items from the bank. You then ask for as many as possible, and the servant will disappear off to the bank. It then returns with your planks, and for maximum efficiency, you should train while the servant is away. Every 8 trips to the bank, the servant asks for payment which requires coins in your inventory. At level 58 construction, you can build a servant's moneybag in your player-owned house. This holds cash and automatically deducts when your servant requires payment. This speeds up your training since you don’t need to go through any dialog to pay the servant. At level 47 construction, you can build mounted mythical capes in a quest hall room in your house. Mounted Mythical Capes This requires Dragon Slayer 2, which has a level 50 construction requirement, so the level needed to do mounted mythical capes is 50. These are the cheapest traditional construction methods since you get more XP per plank than regular training. The method is similar to oak larders. You first need to build a quest hall room in your house for 25k. Then, you find your servant and send them off to the bank to retrieve teak planks. Then select Build on the guild trophy Construction space, and select to build a mounted mythical cape. It uses 3 planks plus a mythical cape, and then once you remove it, you get the mythical cape back. Since mythical capes use fewer planks than the other methods, you can get away with using a human butler, which saves you money in the long run. Overall, getting to 99 is going to cost 86 mil The fastest viable construction experience in the game is done by constructing mahogany furniture. Mahogany Tables (Lvl 52+) At level 52 you can start making mahogany dining tables where you can get up to 900k XP per hour. To build these, you need a kitchen room in your house. With mahogany tables, you should use a demon butler for the best XP rates since they use 8 planks per table. With this method, you can once again set it up so that you are right and left-clicking in the same spot, with the construction object at the bottom of your screen. At level 77, you unlock gnome benches, which are a faster experience with mahogany planks, and I'll talk about benches shortly. Overall, getting to 99 with mahogany planks is going to cost around 200 mil. Teak Benches (Lvl 66+) A slightly cheaper but slower option compared to mahogany is using teak planks. The fastest teak method is building teak garden benches in a superior garden room, and these are unlocked at level 66. With these, you need a superior garden room in your house, which costs 75k. Since there are 2 benches right next to each other, as you're removing one of the benches, you can open up the build menu for the other bench at the same time. This gives a slightly faster experience overall. You can also set it up so that both benches are in the bottom region of your screen, allowing you to easily right-click left-click to build and remove. Overall, 99 is going to cost around 118 mil. Oak Dungeon Doors (Lvl 74+) At 74 construction, you can build oak dungeon doors in a dungeon room, which are slower than teak benches, but less expensive. Oak dungeon doors use 10 planks instead of 8, so they're slightly faster than oak larders. The method is much the same as the others First need to build a dungeon room in your house, so to do that, you can build a dungeon entrance in a regular garden room. Then at the door space in the dungeon, you can build oak doors, and since they use 10 planks, you'll want to use a demon butler and ask him to bring 20 planks from the bank. Currently, it costs around 98 mil to get to 99 with oak dungeon doors. Gnome Benches (Lvl 77+) At level 77, you can build gnome benches in a superior garden, and these use the same amount of mahogany planks as dining tables, but there are 2 benches right next to each other as I mentioned in the teak benches section. For these, you'll need a superior garden room and a demon butler. You start by building one of the benches, then as you go to remove it, you hold 1 and select build on the other bench so that your character removes a bench while the next menu is open. Doing this nets you up to 1.1 mil XP per hour, and is the fastest viable construction method in the game. That's all of the traditional methods you should do for 99 Construction, Here is a recap of them on the screen with their cost and time to 99. On your journey to 99 construction, you may consider Mahogany Homes as your training method. This involves repairing objects in houses across the Runescape map. Mahogany Homes As a whole, Mahogany Homes has slower XP per hour when compared to traditional methods, although they are cheaper and less click-intensive. There are 4 levels to Mahogany Homes with varying XP rates and costs. The most viable is Adept contracts which give over 100k XP per hour and cost 37 mil for 99. Aside from construction XP, you can get the construction outfit from Mahogany Homes which gives a 2.5% XP boost with the full set. To do Mahogany Homes, you need to be a homeowner and you can get a home from the Daddy's Home mini-quest or you can buy one for 1k from any estate agent. These are the items you need. You'll want teleports to Falador, Varrock, Ardougne, and Hosidius, as well as a saw and a hammer. You'll need planks and steel bars, approximately 1 steel bar for every 10 planks. You should wear graceful while doing this activity, and the plank sack which is rewarded from mahogany homes will increase your XP rates. To get started, you speak to Amy in Falador, next to the estate agent, to get a contract. You can choose the difficulty, and then you travel to the house you’ve been assigned. You go into the house and repair each piece of furniture with planks and steel bars, then speak to the homeowner to get additional construction XP and a cup of tea, which restores your run energy to full. After your first contract from Amy, you can then speak to one of 4 NPCs to get a new contract, located in Falador, Varrock, Ardougne, and Hosidius. Amy in Falador is the most easily accessed at a low level. Although Higher-level players can use the NPC Contact spell in the Lunar Spellbook to get new contracts. Overall, mahogany homes are a more relaxed way to train Construction but as a main account, I would recommend doing the traditional construction training methods since they are so much faster. For many players, the main goal with construction is to max their house. It currently costs about 15 mil to max your house although you'll spend quite a bit getting your construction high enough for all of the upgrades. Maxing Your House To max your house, you need to reach level 83 construction, or you can go for level 84 if you want the fully upgraded portal nexus. This is how much it costs right now to get to 83 construction, and you can see that it's a lot less costly when compared to getting to 99. The traditional methods are quite expensive when compared to mahogany homes, but the XP rates are considerably faster. For a maxed house, there are some quest requirements. You need access to all spellbooks, fairy rings, the crystal saw, spicy stews, and the Digsite pendant. You also need to complete the quests for each teleport if you want to add them to your portal room. If you want to max your house, you should check out my complete Max House Guide . It covers all of the furniture you need and shows an efficient house layout. As an ironman, getting planks is where you'll spend most of your time rather than training Construction. Because planks take a while to get, mahogany homes are an inviting option since they give more XP per plank. Ironman Tips The best method to obtain planks is by getting teak and mahogany logs from Miscellania, and then turning them into planks at a sawmill or with a butler. There are a few different methods to convert logs into planks, the fastest way to do it is by teleporting to your house with an inventory of logs, then asking the butler to take them to the sawmill, and then teleporting to a bank, and repeat. The butler automatically banks the planks Recently, Jagex added sawmill vouchers as a reward from forestry, which halves the cost of using a sawmill. Overall, if you want to save money, and need to train Woodcutting, sawmill vouchers aren't a bad option. At a low construction level, you can get regular planks from behind Barbarian Assault. Also, Tempoross is a decent way to get noted planks. At a high combat level, you can get a lot of plank drops from places like Zulrah, Raids, and Callisto.

What’s going on guys! My name's Theoatrix , and welcome to my updated level 1–99 Melee Combat Training Guide. GUIDE CONTENTS Why Train Melee? How Melee Works Weapon Progression Armour Progression Pathways to 99 Low Level Training Questing (Low Level) Regular Training (Low Level) Fastest Pathway Nightmare Zone Guide Fastest Methods in OSRS AFK Pathway Slayer Pathway Bossing With Melee F2P Methods If you'd prefer to watch a video version of this guide, you can watch that below. Otherwise you can continue down the page to read the written guide. Why Train Melee? High combat stats give access to a wide variety of content for your account. Training your melee lets you defeat a number of bosses.. Also, all 3 raids in Old School require melee. In PvP, there's a range of powerful melee weapons with strong special attacks, like the Dragon Claws, the Armadyl Godsword or the Voidwaker. With the highest strength bonus setup in the game, the max hit in PvP is now 87 with an Armadyl Godsword. 12 quests in Old School have a melee requirement. I've broken these down into attack, strength and defence. Lunar Diplomacy is an essential one for mains, along with King's Ransom for piety. For the Quest cape, you need 50 attack, 50 strength and 65 defence, although, you will need higher combat stats to defeat the bosses in the quests. For the Achievement Diary cape, you need 50 attack, 76 strength and 70 defence, as well as level 100 combat. How Melee Works Now I'm going to go over how melee melee works. Increasing your attack level increases your accuracy, and also allows you to wear better weaponry. For example, at level 1 attack, using a Bronze Sword, your accuracy is 48%. Whereas at level 99 attack, your accuracy becomes 96%. Your attack bonus, which can be found in the equipment stats interface, mainly comes from your weapon, but can also come from your armour, jewellery and defenders. Increasing your attack bonus increases your accuracy. With 50 attack and an attack bonus of 10, your accuracy is 92%. But if your attack bonus is 100, your accuracy is 97%. Increasing your strength level increases your max hit, and can also unlock some weaponry. With a Bronze Sword, at level 1 strength, your max hit is 1. At level 99 strength, your max hit becomes 12. Your strength bonus mostly comes from your weapon, but can also come from other equipment. Having a higher strength bonus increases your max hit. With 50 strength and a strength bonus of 10, your max hit is 7. If your strength bonus is 100, your max hit becomes 15. Increasing your defence level decreases the accuracy of the enemy. Your defence level does not affect the max hit of the enemy, only the accuracy. For example, if you had level 1 defence, and General Graardor used a melee attack on you, his accuracy would be 99%. With 99 defence and the same gear, Graardor's accuracy becomes 91%. Your defence level is somewhat amplified by your defence bonus. Having a high defence level won't do much unless you have a high defence bonus as well. Your defence bonus mostly comes from armour and jewellery, and having a higher defence bonus also decreases the accuracy of the enemy. Using General Graardor as an example again, if you have level 99 defence, wearing no armour, Graardor's accuracy is 91% with melee. Although, if you wear full Torva, Graardor's accuracy goes down to 53%. Weapon Progression Now let's get into weaponry. I've broken these down into 3 categories, level 1 to 60 attack and strength weapons, level 60 to 99 attack training weapons, then level 60 to 99 strength training weapons. For training defence, you should use the best attack training weapon you can. The weapons go from best on the left, to worst on the right, within each box. In the low-level bracket, the Dragon Warhammer is the best weapon to use at 1 attack, although it does have a 60 strength requirement to wear. So, the best in slot at level 1 is the Swift Blade or the Ham Joint. At levels 5 to 30, the highest level scimitar you can use will be your best option. At level 40, the Brine Sabre is better than the Rune Scimitar, and then at level 50, you unlock the Granite Hammer and Leaf Bladed Weaponry. For training attack, these are the best weapons to use. At level 60, you can use Obsidian weapons, and when paired with the Obsidian Armour set, it gives the highest DPS at level 60. At 65, you unlock the Sarachnis Cudgel which is not as good as the Obsidian set, but is an upgrade from the Dragon Scimitar. At level 70, The Abyssal Whip is best for attack xp followed by the Bludgeon and Dagger. At 75 attack, you can wear the Abyssal Tentacle, which gives the highest DPS but does degrade. At 80, the Ghrazi Rapier, Inquisitors Mace and Blade of Saeldor are equally your best option, although each have different attack styles. At 82 you unlock the the Osmumten's Fang, although is only the best option when the monster has a high defence level. If the monster has low defence, you should use the Rapier, Mace, or Blade. But, the Fang is a lot cheaper than the Rapier, Mace or Blade, so you should get the Fang if you don’t have those other weapons. For training strength, these are the best weapons. At levels 60 and 65, the weapons are the same as the attack training weapons. However, at level 70, the Abyssal Bludgeon is the best to use for strength training, followed by the Zamorakian Hasta. At level 75, the Blessed Saradomin sword is about as good as the Abyssal Bludgeon, although it degrades. At 80, the Rapier, Mace and Blade are all the best options, then at level 82 you unlock the Osmumten's Fang, which is only good against high defence monsters. Armour Progression Now let’s go through armour progression. With melee, you should prioritize strength bonus when choosing armour and jewellery. Attack bonus is useful, but strength bonus is priority. I'll also be talking about prayer bonus and magic defence gear later on. From levels 1 to 30 defence, you should just use the best metal armour set you can, ranging from iron through to adamant. From there, here are the best armour pieces to wear…. Going from left to right, these are the best to worst in slot items for the head slot. The Fremennik Trials and Isles quests for the Berzerker helm and helm of Neitiznot, are both vital steps in upgrading your gear. With 30 defence and 70 strength, you can wear Inquisitors, which gives a decent strength bonus, but should only be worn if you're using a crush weapon. On a main account, you don’t need to complete the Fremennik Exiles to make and wear the faceguard, that’s only for ironmen. In the body slot, these are the best items. At level 40, you can wear the Fighter Torso from Barbarian Assault. It gives the same strength bonus as a Bandos Chestplate but its free, so its highly recommended to get one. Alternatively, you can just get an Obsidian Body if you cannot be bothered getting a Fighter Torso or do not have enough money for a Bandos Chestplate. In the leg slot, you can wear the Fremennik Kilt at any defence level for a +1 strength bonus, but that’s currently over 2 mil on the Grand Exchange, so you can just wear Rune Platelegs or Granite Platelegs when you unlock them. At level 60, you can wear Obsidian Platelegs, which are cheaper than a Fremennik Kilt and give better defensive bonuses. The best in slot is Torva, giving a +4 Strength bonus. With a combined attack and strength level of 130, you can enter The Warrior’s Guild to get defenders. You should do this as soon as you reach 130 since defenders give high attack and strength bonuses. Alternatively, you can wear a Dragonfire Shield or an Obsidian Shield for a small strength bonus, or you can wear the Book of War from horror from the deep also for a small strength bonus. In the ring slot, the new Desert Treasure 2 rings are the best in slot, but they’re very expensive so the best for a lower price is an imbued Berzerker Ring, which you can imbue at Soul Wars, the PVP arena or the Nightmare Zone. Alternatively, a Warrior Ring is a decent option if you’re using slash. In your cape slot, the Infernal Cape is the best in slot, followed by the Fire Cape, Mythical Cape, a Skillcape and then the Obsidian Cape. In the boot slot, at a lower level you can just wear the best metal boots you can, but I would recommend wearing Climbing boots for the +2 strength bonus. Guardian boots give prayer bonus and have high defence bonuses, and Granite boots are fairly cheap for a +3 strength bonus. Spiked Manacles are best in slot for pures as they have no defence requirement, but are expensive. In the necklace slot, the best in slot is an Amulet of Torture, which currently costs about 10 mil. The next best amulets are the Fury, Glory and Amulet of Strength. In some cases with melee, you're going to want to wear armour that gives a high prayer bonus. Proselyte is the best in slot, requiring Slug Menace , followed by Zealots Robes from The Shades of Mort’ton minigame. Vestment robes are decent low-priced option, but if you don’t have the requirements for any of those, you can just wear Monk's robes. Particularly while you’re slaying or bossing, you'll sometimes need to wear magical defence armour. The best in slot for magical defence is Fortified Masori, but that’s pretty expensive, so your next best option is Karil's. Below Karil's you can wear Void for magical defence, but alternatively you should just use the best Dragonhide Armour you can wear. You should avoid using Armadyl for magic defence while using melee, because Armadyl gives negative melee attack bonuses. Pathways to 99 Now lets move onto your pathways to 99. I’m going to start off by showing 2 low level routes, questing and regular training. I’ll then show 3 pathways to 99, and I'm showing the time it takes to get max melee for each pathway, so all three 99s, attack, strength and defence. I’ll start by showing the Fastest Pathway to 99 in the melee stats, where you can get up to 400k xp per hour with alt accounts, or 200k xp per hour solo. On the AFK Pathway that I’m showing, you can get 99 attack, strength and defence in 350 hours at the Nightmare Zone, or 500 hours at Bandits. After the AFK pathway, I’ll talk about slayer which is going to get you 99 in all 3 combat stats in approximately 600 hours. Then I’ll talk about bossing with melee, and I’ll finish off by talking about Free to Play methods. Low Level Training Questing (Low Level) So, as a low level player, your best option for combat training is questing. You can complete the Waterfall quest with no requirements to get from level 1 to 30 attack and strength. The quest takes 10 to 20 minutes, whereas training from 1 to 30 attack and strength normally is going to take a couple of hours. After the Waterfall quest , there's some additional quests you can do that have low requirements. Doing the quests on the screen, plus the Waterfall quest , will get you to level 45 attack, 36 strength and 31 defence. If you don't feel like questing, then you can train melee the regular way. Regular Training (Low Level) At level 1 attack and strength, you have 40% higher DPS against cows over sand crabs. So, you should train your low levels at cows with an Iron Scimitar. Above level 10, you can train AFK at any type of crab. Crabs have low defence, and high hitpoints, making them a great target for low level training. There's 4 types of crabs in old school, Rock, Sand, Swamp And Ammonite. They all have similar stats, but the most common ones for training at a low level are sand crabs. There's a number of locations to find sand crabs in old school, mostly along the south eastern coast of Zeah. To train, you just need to find a location with 2 or 3 sand rocks on the ground, and you stand near them to spawn the crabs. After 10 minutes, the crabs stop being aggressive. So, to reset, you run out of view, about 30 tiles away, and then run back. If you find that those standard sand crab locations are too busy, you can complete the Depths of Despair Quest to access the crabs in the Crabclaw Caves. Or, you could pay 10K to go to Crabclaw Isle, which is usually less populated. Now lets move onto the fastest pathway to 99. Fastest Pathway This is what the entire pathway looks like. You start off questing and then training at Sand crabs until level 50. Then the Nightmare Zone becomes the fastest experience with overloads and powerups. You can train at the Nightmare Zone all the way to 99 with either Obsidian or Dharok's, but the fastest XP in the game comes from using alt accounts to transfer special attack energy, while using the Dinh's Bulwark special attack. Without alt accounts, your fastest method is Pest Control with Combat Achievements completed for the extra points. Another method I’ll talk about is chinning on defensive mode, which is the fastest defence experience in the game without alts. So, from level 1, the fastest way to gain experience is Questing , by at least doing the Waterfall quest . I just talked about questing in the low-level section, so if you want to learn more, skip back to that section. From level 30 to 50, the fastest experience you'll get is attacking monsters constantly, and crabs are perfect for that because of their high hit points, low defence and AFK time. I also talked about crabs in the low-level section, so skip back to that to hear more. If you’re going for the fastest experience though, you should be using stat boosting prayers with prayer potions, as well as divine super combat potions. Nightmare Zone Guide At level 50 attack and strength, you should head to the Nightmare Zone for the best experience. The Nightmare Zone is the fastest because… You can use Overloads for a higher boost than Super potions, And you can use powerups, particularly Power Surge, which constantly regenerates your special attack. To take part in the Nightmare Zone, you need to have completed at least 5 quests with applicable bosses. These are the quests and subsequent bosses that you should aim to complete to train melee in the Nightmare Zone. If it’s your first time at the Nightmare Zone, you'll need to earn some points to use Absorptions and Overloads. To start off with, you should select bosses that use melee and use protect from melee with Prayer Potions until you have enough points. You should also activate the recurrent Damage, Zapper and Power Surge powerups when they appear. To get the most out of your Nightmare Zone trips, you should also unlock the Dwarven rock cake or the Locator Orb. The rock cake is far easier to get, only requiring the freeing the Mountain Dwarf part of Recipe for Disaster. These items are useful in the Nightmare Zone because they prolong your Absorption potions. Every dose of an Absorption potion absorbs 50 incoming damage from enemies. If you lower your health down to 1 with a rock cake or locator orb, you'll only be hit a maximum of 1 by enemies, so your absorption will only go down by 1. At level 50 in the combat stats, you should set your dream to a Customized Normal Rumble. This is because Hard Mode monsters have a high defence level, and should only be fought above level 70 in attack and strength. To enter the Nightmare Zone, you firstly need to start a dream by talking to Dominic, and select the type of rumble you want. Before you can enter, you need to have coins in the coffer nearby. To deposit, click on the coffer and select deposit. You’ll also want to withdraw some overloads and absorption potions from the barrels. Then, to select the bosses on your customized dream, click on the potion. Then select the relevant melee training bosses, and when you're ready select accept. Once you’re inside, if you’re overloading, you should sip that first. Then, you can use your rock cake or locator orb to lower yourself down to 1 hitpoints, but don’t do it too quickly because you can die from the overload damage. Once you’re at 1, you can drink a bunch of absorption potions. Now you are ready to fight, so you can make your way to the center of the arena or if you have the Ice Troll or Dad Boss activated, you should stand in a corner. You attack the bosses while keeping an eye out for a yellow powerup, which is called Power Surge, and it’s the one that constantly regenerates your special attack With 50 in the combat stats, you should use a Granite Maul as your special attack weapon, paired with a Granite Hammer as your main weapon, if you can afford it. With 60 defence, you can wear Obsidian Armour, and wearing the helmet, body and legs together gives a 10% accuracy and damage boost with obsidian weapons. You can also wear a Berzerker Necklace for a 20% damage boost with obsidian weapons. With the full set plus the Berzerker Necklace, you can use an obsidian sword to get up to 100k xp per hour in the nightmare zone, provided you’re still using the Power Surge powerups. At 60 attack you can wear the Dragon Claws, which become your best special attack weapon. Paired with an Ornate Granite Maul, you can use your whole special attack bar in one tick, and it fully regenerates by your next attack. With 70 attack, strength and defence, you can wear the full Dharok's set, which provides the fastest experience within the nightmare zone. But, Dharok's is only viable if you have above level 90 hitpoints, because the extra damage is higher with a higher hitpoints. With Dharok's you can hit high damage, and paired with the Power Surge powerup with Dragon Claws, you can get up to 170k xp per hour at high levels. In the Nightmare Zone, you can also boost your xp rates by using Piety. So, bring some prayer potions if you’re going for the fastest experience. It costs money to use the Nightmare Zone - but you can easily recoup that money by purchasing herb boxes from the rewards chest. Each day, you can buy 15 herb boxes which have an average value of 190k in herbs. Fastest Methods in OSRS At level 75 attack and defence, you unlock the fastest melee method in the game. This is done using the Dinh's Bulwark. It has a special attack that hits up to 10 enemies in an 11 by 11 area, with 20% increased accuracy. Pairing this with the energy transfer lunar spell, you can use alt accounts or have your friends constantly regenerate your special attack. The best place to do this is at Nechryaels in the catacombs of Kourend since there’s a lot of monsters, and its easily accessible. So, the alt accounts will be using energy transfer, then teleporting to house, regenerating their special attack, and then teleporting back to the catacombs to use energy transfer again. With 3 alt accounts, you can get up to 420k xp per hour with high combat stats. At level 100 combat, Pest Control becomes the fastest solo melee training method. A couple of years ago, Jagex added Combat Achievements… and one of the rewards for completing Combat Achievements is increased points from Pest Control. You now get 8 points per game with the Hard Combat Achievements in the high-level boat. With that, you can get up to 240 points per hour, and you can convert points into combat experience at the Rewards shop. 240 points is going to give you 145k combat experience at level 99, which means in total, you can get up to 200k xp per hour. At lower levels though, you’re going to see slower xp rates. At level 75, 240 points will get you 82k xp, totaling around 120 to 130k xp per hour, which is still the fastest solo xp in the game at that level. The final method in the Fastest Pathway is chinning on defensive mode. With Black Chinchompas and 99 Ranged, you can get up to 350k defence xp per hour. At the same time, you will be getting 350k Ranged xp and 250k Hitpoints xp. This makes chinning on defensive mode the fastest defence xp in the game without alt accounts. AFK Pathway Now it’s time for the AFK pathway… On this pathway, you will start off training at crabs for your early experience. And then at level 50, the Nightmare Zone becomes a viable AFK training spot. Bandits are another decent AFK option at around 70 in the combat stats, and Slayer can be an AFK method as well. So, from level 1 to 50, your best AFK xp is going to come from crabs, where you can AFK for up to 10 minutes at a time. I talked about crabs in the low-level section of this guide, so if you want to learn more about crabs, skip back to the low-level section. At level 50 attack and strength, the Nightmare Zone becomes one of your best AFK options. In the Nightmare Zone, you can AFK for up to 20 minutes at a time depending on what setup you’re using. If you’re using overloads and absorption potions, you can AFK for 5 minutes at a time before you need to re-overload. If you only use absorption potions, you could AFK for about 10 minutes before you should drop your health with the rock cake or locator orb, and drink more absorptions. If you’re using protection prayers in the Nightmare Zone, you can AFK for about 5 minutes at a time depending on your prayer bonus and level. But, to get the most AFK time in the Nightmare Zone, you can use the full Guthans setup to automatically heal yourself, allowing you to AFK for 20 minutes at a time. Within the Nightmare Zone, you should do Normal Rumbles at level 50 until around level 75, where you should swap to Hard Rumbles . To learn more about the Nightmare Zone, skip back to the Fastest Pathway . There I talk about what quests you should do and some more useful tips. At level 70 in the combat stats, bandits become a viable AFK training method. At bandits, you can AFK for up to 20 minutes if you have a Saradomin or Zamorak item equipped. With 70 defence and full Torag's, you can AFK at bandits for up to 10 minutes before you should eat food to heal up. In the general store nearby, you can find tiles who un-notes items, so you can bring along noted food to stay here forever. Using Protect from Melee is another popular option at bandits. With 80 Prayer and full Proselyte, Protect from Melee is going to last 6 minutes and 24 seconds. You can also bring noted prayer potions and un-note them at tiles. Although, Guthans gives the longest AFK times at bandits, allowing you to AFK for 20 minutes at a time. Bandits are located at bandit camp in the desert. You're immune from the desert heat while you’re inside bandit camp so you don’t need waterskins. To get there, you can take a magic carpet ride to Bedabin Camp from the Shantay Pass and then run south. These are the best locations to stand to be constantly attacking bandits. Bandits are popular so you might need to hop a bit to find an empty world. Also, at 70 in the combat stats, slayer becomes a viable AFK melee training method. There's 3 ways to AFK slayer tasks. If the monster is aggressive, then you can AFK for 10 minutes before you need to reset. If the monster is in multicombat, then you can attack each one, and then AFK while you finish them off. Or, you can use a cannon on some slayer tasks to attack monsters for you, and if you stand underneath your cannon, you can prolong the duration of your cannonballs, letting you AFK for longer. Slayer Pathway Slayer isn't just an AFK combat training method, it’s also efficient combat experience because you’re training your slayer at the same time. Also, on Slayer tasks, you can use the Black Mask or the Slayer Helmet for the damage and accuracy boost, which further increases the efficiency. While training from 1 to 99 slayer, it’s possible to get 99 in most of the combat stats. If you plan on getting 99 slayer one day, you should train your slayer instead of following the Fast or AFK pathway that I’ve shown, otherwise you'll be gaining a lot of xp past level 99. Bossing With Melee Next up I’m going to cover bossing with melee. Training up your melee stats is a great way to get a taste of bossing. Arguably the easiest boss in the game, the Giant Mole, can be defeated with just 43 prayer and level 40s in the combat stats. Using Protect from Melee, you can mitigate all damage. One of the easiest pets in the game can be obtained by defeating the Chaos Elemental, which you can flinch with melee to also take no damage. 2 more fairly easy bosses are Obor and Sarachnis which are both weak to melee. 2 of the 4 God Wars bosses are best killed with melee, and particularly Bandos is a great introduction to team bossing at a low level. Venenatis and Vet’ion are both highly profitable wilderness bosses that should be killed with melee. 4 slayer bosses are melee weak, all of which can be killed for high profit, and ironmen can obtain a number of important uniques from these bosses. The recently added Desert Treasure 2 brought 2 new melee bosses to the game, Duke Sucellus and Vardorvis. Vorkath is a highly profitable boss that’s weak to stab, accessible after Dragon Slayer 2. The Nightmare is weak to crush attacks, and the Corporeal Beast is weak to stab, and both are difficult bosses with valuable drops. All 3 raids in old school require melee, and before going on any of the raids, I’d suggest having at least 85 attack strength and defence, plus high ranged, magic and prayer. F2P Methods Now to finish off the guide, I'm going to talk about Free to Play melee training. In 2015, Jagex added frogs to the Lumbridge Swamp. They have decent hitpoints and minimal defence, making them a great target for low level training. In the area, you can find Regular frogs, Big frogs and Giant frogs. You should attack the Regular frogs at a low level, then move onto Big frogs and Giant frogs above level 20 combat. At a higher level in free to play, you unlock an AFK and decently fast training method within the Stronghold of Security . You can train at the giant spiders on level 3 of the Stronghold for an AFK time of 10 minutes, although at lower levels you will need to eat food. After 10 minutes, the giant spiders stop attacking you, and to reset, you need to run out of view and come back, or you can go to another room on the other side of the Stronghold. If you want to make some money in free to play, you can go to the Ogress Warriors near Corsair Cove. They drop a few alchables and runes. Thanks for reading my 1 – 99 Melee Guide. Anyways guys, I hope you learned something helpful today or enjoyed. If you have any questions or just want to chat to me, you can join the Theoatrix friend chat in game. As always, thanks for reading this guide, and have a nice day!

Welcome to my 1-99 Woodcutting and Forestry guide for OSRS . The first player to reach 99 Woodcutting in RuneScape was Everdred , who reached 99 on 28 August 2001. That's less than 8 months after RuneScape was released . Guide Quick-Links Changes To Woodcutting Woodcutting Mechanics Axes & Equipment 1-99 Woodcutting Guide Low Level Training Fastest Way To 99 Fast Methods AFK Methods Profitable Methods F2P Woodcutting Complete Forestry Guide Forestry Basics Forestry Locations Forestry Events Forestry Rewards If you would prefer to watch the video version of this guide, you can watch it below. Otherwise continue scrolling to read the 1-99 Woodcutting guide. Changes To Woodcutting So what's changed with woodcutting? In 2023, Jagex introduced Forestry, a group woodcutting activity with forestry events and new tree mechanics. Most trees were updated to have a time before they get cut down, whereas, in the past, most trees would have a 1 in 8 chance of being cut down. The timer scales with the tree level. Oak trees have a 27 second timer, and redwoods have a 4 minute and 24 second timer. The timer only starts when you receive the first log. You can continue chopping logs until the timer reaches zero, then when you get a log after zero, the tree gets cut down. So you can expect to afk for longer than the tree time since you spend time cutting the first and last logs. When cutting a tree, forestry events can spawn. There's 9 events, each with a unique xp rate and strategy. For example, theres one event where you pick the odd symbol out, and another where you pollinate flowers. If you're paying attention and doing events efficiently, you can boost your xp rates by at least 40%. Additionally, chopping the same tree as another person gives you up to a plus 10 invisible woodcutting boost. You get +1 for every person chopping the tree up to 10. Woodcutting Mechanics Let's go through the mechanics of woodcutting. When you cut a tree, you have a chance of getting a log every 4 gameticks, or every 2.4 seconds. The type of axe you use, and your woodcutting level, both affect your chances of cutting a log. On average, a rune axe is 3 times better at cutting when compared to a bronze axe. The best axe is the crystal axe, over 4 times faster than the bronze axe. It is possible to tick manipulate to have a chance of getting a log every 3 ticks, 2 ticks or every 1.5 ticks, and the fastest woodcutting xp rate is possible with 1.5 ticking. Axes & Equipment You should always be using the best possible axe up to the dragon axe. It considerably boosts your xp rate to use a better axe. With song of the elves, you can use a crystal axe, which is about 4.5% faster than a dragon axe. The crystal felling axe is the best axe in the game for the fastest experience, although it requires crystal shards and rations. Felling axes are 2 handed axes which can be bought off the grand exchange, or created with an axe handle from the forestry rewards shop. On average, felling axes are 10% faster than regular axes. To use a felling axe, you need foresters rations, and you consume a ration every time you get an xp drop. Rations can be bought off the grand exchange, or ironmen can make them with leaves and cooked food. With felling axes, theres also a 20% chance to not obtain a log, making it more AFK since you wont need to empty your inventory as often. With 61 woodcutting and 85 firemaking, you can use an infernal axe. These have a 33% chance of burning the log you receive from woodcutting, giving half of the firemaking experience. The woodcutting skilling outfit, the lumberjack outfit, is worth getting for both regular accounts and ironmen. It boosts your woodcutting xp by 2.5% with the whole set - and it takes around 30 minutes to get. The outfit is obtained from temple trekking, where you need to find the undead lumberjacks event, and jagex recently increased the likelihood of that event spawning, so this should take less than 30 minutes. Low Level Training When you first start woodcutting, the first thing you need to worry about is axes. You can buy them off the grand exchange as a regular account, and ironmen can buy axes up to steel off bob in lumbridge. Defeating tree spirits is a decent way to get a high level axe, up until you reach 60 woodcutting where you can enter the woodcutting guild. In there, there's a shop that sells axes up to rune. To skip the slower early levels of woodcutting, theres some quests you can complete. You can complete all of these quests to go from 1 to 28 woodcutting. Some of those quests have fairly high requirements to complete, so instead, you can do the Monk's Friend quest to get from 1 to 14 woodcutting very quickly. Then you can cut 9 regular logs to get to 15 woodcutting, then you can do the ribbiting tale quest for 2000 woodcutting xp, and it’s a very short quest. If you arent into questing, you can train your woodcutting the normal way. From 1 to 15, you'll need to cut 161 regular trees. There's regular trees all over runescape, but I would suggest training behind lumbridge castle, or on the outskirts of varrock. If you're an ironman, its not a bad idea to light or fletch the logs you get, but if youre a main account trying to level woodcutting the fastest, you can just drop the logs. Also, its very important to be using the best axe possible at all times since it dramatically increases your chop rate. Once you reach level 15, you can cut oak trees, which are the fastest experience until around level 35. With oak trees you can partake in forestry, and to do that, you should go to world 301 to Draynor and chop the oak to the east of the bank. For regular training though, you can cut the oak trees near varrock west bank. At level 30 woodcutting, you do unlock willow trees, but oak trees are better experience until level 35. Going from 15 to 35 at oaks, you'll need to cut 534 oak logs. Once you reach 35, you unlock teak trees, which are one of the fastest methods in the game, and that leads us to the next section, the fastest way to 99 woodcutting. Fastest Way To 99 On a fresh level 3 account, the fastest way to train woodcutting is by completing the Monk's Friend quest like mentioned earlier. Completing the other quests for xp will take longer than regular training, but if you are going for the quest cape, doing the quests is an efficient pathway. Without questing, the fastest is just regular trees, then oak trees, just like I explained in the low level training section. But… for the fastest experience at level 15, you can 2tick oak trees. This gives over 100k xp per hour at higher levels. To do this, you need to lure two rats from Falador farm all the way to the Falador city entrance. Then once they are alternating their attacks, you click the tree, then the ground, and repeat after every attack. This caps out at 111k xp per hour above 60 woodcutting with a rune axe. At that level, you have a 100% success rate when cutting oaks. Now, for the fastest methods in the game, teaks with tick manipulation. As a woodcutting training method, I personally don’t recommend doing these methods over forestry or AFK woodcutting since these methods are extremely click intensive. But if you want the fastest possible experience, this is your best bet. With teaks, theres 3 different ways you can tick manipulate. There's 3 tick, 2 tick, and 1.5 tick. I'll be explaining all three, starting with 3 ticking. 3-Tick Teaks With a 3 tick action, like using herbs on tar, you can speed up your woodcutting training by 33%. You have to start the 3 tick action every 1.8 seconds, then click the tree, and repeat. At level 35, it provides competitive xp rates, and it reaches up to 93k xp per hour at 99. Overall, for a 33% xp increase, its not really worthwhile for all of the extra clicking, and I would really suggest 2 ticking over 3 ticking. But… you can 3 tick on a forestry world for high xp rates. At priff or soul wars island, you'll find groups of people cutting teaks on the forestry worlds, and if you 3 tick here, you can boost your xp rates because of the forestry events that spawn. 2-Tick Teaks 2 ticking doubles the speed at which you woodcut, since normally it’s a 4 tick action. 2 tick teaks works similarly to 2 tick oaks, where you need an npc hitting you every 2 ticks, so you can get two 4 tick mobs attacking you, and have their attacks alternate. Every time you get attacked, it resets the 4 tick woodcutting action and allows you to get a log on the next gametick. To do this method, you need to equip any shortbow with no arrows equipped, and you need auto retaliate on. This allows you to retaliate and reset the ticks. The best place for this method is done in the ape atoll jungle, by tagging 2 birds. You can use a fun weapon, or a spell like confuse or weaken to get the agression of the birds. Then you move them around to ensure theyre attacking every 2 ticks. Overall, 2 ticking is probably easier than 3 ticking. It does require you to click every gametick, but there are less clicks when compared to 3tick. However… there is an easier 2 tick method. If you plant your own teak trees, you can 2 tick just by moving every time you cut. This is because the game gives you a chance of cutting 2 logs at a time. So this is essentially still 4 tick woodcutting, but you get 2 logs, making it 2 tick. So basically, you click the tree, then click a tile away, and click the tree, and repeat. With both of these 2 tick methods, you can get up to 215k xp per hour at high levels, and at level 35 when you unlock it, you'll already get 78k woodcutting xp per hour, which is high for such a low level method. 1.5-Tick Teaks But theres an even faster method…. 1.5 tick teaks. This can only be done on trees that you've planted with farming. Essentially, this method involves 3 ticking while doing the second 2 tick method. You do a 3 tick action, then move for a chance at 2 logs. So you have a chance at 2 logs every 3 ticks, making it a 1.5 tick method. This is a very click and focus intensive method, but you are rewarded with huge amounts of woodcutting xp. At level 35 when you unlock it, you can already get close to 100k xp per hour. At high levels, it reaches up to 235k xp per hour, and is the fastest woodcutting method in the game. Fast Methods Training with Forestry is an excellent way to level up, while having some periods of downtime. Below is each tier of tree, with their average xp rates on a forestry world. At level 15, oaks become the first tree you can partake in forestry with and most notably, teak and yew trees both give competitive xp rates if you do all of the forestry events. Here are the best locations to do forestry. For oak trees, your best bet is either draynor village or at varrock west bank. For willows, draynor is best. For Teaks, you can go near castle wars, to soul wars or to priff. Seer's village is the best place for maple trees. Yews can be cut outside of the seer's village church. Magic trees can be found near the ranging guild or myths guild. Since their introduction in 2017, Sullicuep Mushrooms have provided competitive woodcutting xp rates, and before forestry, provided the fastest xp rates without tick manipulation. Theyre unlocked at level 65 woodcutting, and you need access to fossil island to chop them. The xp rates range from 55k to over 100k per hour, and there are decent afk intervals while training here. All you need is a rake and an axe, but its recommended to have prayer increasing items, a strong defensive shield, something to cure poison, and the best possible food. You firstly need to find the active sulliscuep mushroom, then you cut it down, and move onto the next active mushroom, as shown on this map here. You'll repeat this pattern while you train here. AFK Methods If you want to train AFK, you do not want to use a forestry world since the trees will chop down more randomly. The woodcutting guild is an excellent area for afk training, since you get an invisible +7 woodcutting boost. With the new tree despawn timers, higher level trees have longer afk times. To view the despawn timer in action, you can install a runelite plugin called tree despawn timer which shows how long until the tree will chop down. A great middle-ground between xp and afk time is cutting maple trees in the woodcutting guild. These provide 1 minute of afk, while having a high chop rate. Yew trees let you afk for around 2 minutes, and you can expect around 30k xp per hour when you unlock them. Magic trees let you afk for 4 minutes, and the most AFK woodcutting method in the game is unlocked at level 90, and that is redwood trees. These provide up to 80k xp per hour and you can afk for 4 and a half minutes at a time. If I was to get 99 woodcutting again, I would do redwoods from 90 to 99 just because of how easy it is. Another decent AFK method is chopping the blisterwood tree in Darkmeyer. This requires the sins of the father quest to be able to chop it, and these trees have the oldschool mechanics, where theres a 1 in 8 chance of stopping chopping. Depending on your rng though, the afk interval will sometimes only be a few seconds, but can last over 40 seconds at a time. Blisterwood provides about 60k xp per hour at lower levels, scaling up to 80k at higher levels. But if youre above level 90, I would suggest redwoods. Profitable Methods The most profitable woodcutting method, in the entire game, is camping forestry events. You can get over 2.5 thousand anima bark per hour if youre in the forestry chat, and you only complete the announced forestry events. The method involves hopping between forestry areas constantly to become eligible for forestry event, then completing the event for the anima bark reward. If you convert the bark to felling axes, it equates to over 700k gp per hour at higher woodcutting levels. Mahogany logs are expensive… so with that, you can chop mahogany logs for around 200k gp per hour. The best place to cut them is in tai bwo wannai or in priff. Theyre unlocked at only 50 woodcutting, and you can expect about 140k gp per hour at that level. Cutting yew and magic logs can also be profitable. They both give roughly 150k in profit per hour, although provide slow xp rates compared to the other methods. Forestry Guide So partaking in forestry requires 15 woodcutting, to chop oak trees, and its also available to free to play players. Forestry Basics To get started, you firstly make your way to a friendly forester in either Draynor, Seers Village or Prifddinnas, and from them, you should grab the free forestry kit. This stores items that you find while doing forestry. To actually start forestry, you just start cutting a tree. To find other people, you should go to one of the official forestry worlds. The most popular one at all times is world 444. As a free to play player, you should go to world 301. Forestry does not work in the Woodcutting Guild, nor with Blisterwood trees. Forestry Locations On those forestry worlds, there are certain locations that are populated with players. To find those locations, I listed them all in the "Fast Methods" section of this guide. Forestry Plugins There's a number of RuneLite plugins you can install to make chopping easier. In the default woodcutting plugin, you should turn on the notifications and highlights for all of the events. The tree despawn timer plugin can estimate how long a tree will stay up for. The "tree count" plugin shows how many players are chopping a tree, which is useful for getting the maximum woodcutting level boost. You can get up to a +10 woodcutting boost with 10 or more people. Lastly, entity hider is useful for being able to see and maneuver the forestry events. Forestry Events So while you're chopping, forestry events spawn nearby. There are 9 different forestry events, with some events giving rare rewards. By completing a forestry event, you're rewarded with extra woodcutting xp, further boosting your xp per hour. Rising Roots The rising roots event is where roots appear on the ground nearby. In this event, you should chop the root with green veins for the best xp and rewards. Flowering Bush The flowering bush event is where 8 bushes spawn, and only 2 of those bushes can trade pollen with eachother. You have to find the two bushes then repeatedly pollinate them. The bushes will change every so often, so you need to relocate the correct bushes. Beehives There is an event where you build a beehive, and for this, you click on the unfinished beehive and add logs to it for woodcutting and construction experience. Struggling Sapling For the struggling sapling event you need to collect 3 materials and feed it to the sapling. It takes a certain combination of materials, so for this, you should start by taking three from one pile to see if there are any matches. Then 3 from another pile, until you figure it out. You can also turn public chat on because people usually announce when they've found the right combination. Poachers Sometimes, poachers can spawn, and for this event, you have to disarm the fox traps that they place down. For this you get woodcutting and hunter experience. Enchantment Ritual There is also the enchantment ritual event, which is visible by the colored shapes on the ground. For this, you have to stand on the odd one out. So one of them will not share a color or shape with any other marking. Friendly Ents Sometimes, Friendly Ents can appear, and for this event you have to read what they are saying, and trim them accordingly. There are four different dialogues that the Ents can say, and on the screen are how you should trim them. Pheasant Control When nests and pheasants appear, you must take the egg from the unguarded nest (where no pheasant is on top of it) and take it to the Freaky Forester. Leprechaun The last forestry event is the leprechaun, who you can talk to to deposit your logs to the bank. From events you get anima bark. That anima bark can then be spent at the rewards shop. Forestry Rewards There is a lot of different rewards at the rewards shop, and ill briefly take you through the most notable ones. The clothes pouch blueprint allows you to get the lumberjack outfit xp boost without wearing the outfit. Twitchers gloves increase your chance of getting a birds nest. The felling axe handle and the sawmill vouchers are both very useful for ironmen. If you have 99 woodcutting, the cape pouch can be a decent upgrade too. F2P Woodcutting To finish the guide, I'd like to cover free to play woodcutting training. Below is the fastest pathway from 1 to 99 woodcutting in free to play. It's a lot different to members since free to play is very restricted with the types of trees that are available. The fastest method in the game for free to play is 2 tick oaks, which I showed earlier in this video. You can get over 100k xp per hour, although it does require a lot of focus. Cutting willow trees with forestry, while 3 ticking, is another very fast training method for free to play. You can get over 70k xp per hour doing this, which isnt quite as fast as 2 tick oaks, but its still great for free to play. Maple trees recently got introduced to free to play, and are a great afk training option. ----------------------------- Guide Quick-Links Changes To Woodcutting Woodcutting Mechanics Axes & Equipment 1-99 Woodcutting Guide Low Level Training Fastest Way To 99 Fast Methods AFK Methods Profitable Methods F2P Woodcutting Complete Forestry Guide Forestry Basics Forestry Locations Forestry Events Forestry Rewards

Mining used to be one of the slowest , most tedious skills to train… but with recent updates, mining became a lot easier . We saw changes to shooting stars, there was duke mining, changes to the motherlode mine, as well as the introduction of calcified rocks, overall decreasing the effort required to level the skill. Guide Contents Why Train Mining? Mining XP Boosts Pathways To 99 Low Level Mining Fastest Methods AFK Training Profitable Methods Ironman Methods F2P Methods If you would prefer to watch a video of this guide, you can watch below. Otherwise keep scrolling to read the 1-99 mining guide. Why Train Mining? So why should you train your mining? Well mining is one of, if not THE most useful non-combat skill for raiding . Both the chambers of xeric and the tombs of amascut have mining components. Having at least level 85 mining lets you deal sufficient damage in the Tombs of Amascut. And the higher your mining, the higher you hit on guardians within the Chambers of Xeric. Along with that, mining is required for a broad range of essential quests. For example, lunar diplomacy has a 60 mining requirement, and song of the elves requires 70… You need level 70 mining to get the quest cape, and level 85 mining for the achievement diary cape. Aside from unlocks and upgrades, mining is a profitable skill. Depending on the pathway you choose, youll make a substantial amount of gp on your journey to 99. Mining XP Boosts With mining, its important to know about the xp boosting items and equipment. By trading in 2000 stardust from shooting stars, you can get the celestial ring, which gives a +4 Invisible mining boost, essentially increasing your mining speed. If you charge the ring with stardust, it gives a 10% chance to mine an extra ore up to adamant, giving the full amount of experience. This is essentially 10% more xp per hour - excellent for methods like powermining iron. Varrock armour, which is rewarded from the varrock achievement diary, also gives a 10% chance to give double the ores, again giving around a 10% xp increase overall. Every tier of varrock armour works up to a certain type of rock, and paired with the celestial ring, you can get 20% more xp per hour at some methods, which saves a lot of time on getting 99. With level 60 mining, you can access the mining guild. Inside, the rocks regenerate faster, and additionally, you get an invisible plus 7 mining level boost while in the guild. While mining inside the guild, you can find unidentified minerals. These can be traded for 3 types of Mining Gloves with varying benefits. When equipped, they give a chance to prevent depleting the rock that you mine, which is useful for rocks that regenerate slowly, like runite and amethyst. While training in the motherlode mine, you find golden nuggets, and with 180 nuggets you can purchase the full prospector's outfit. This set gives a 2.5% mining xp boost, and most players should aim to get this outfit, although, it takes 10 to 20 hours to get the full set. With the medium falador diary, plus 50 agility... You can use the shortcut within the motherlode mine to more efficiently deposit your pay dirt. With level 57 mining, plus 100 golden nuggets, you get access to the upper level of the motherlode mine. This gives increased xp per hour, as well as more afk time. You should always be using and upgrading to the best pickaxe possible, up to the dragon pickaxe. Starting from bronze, you have a chance of getting ore every 8 gameticks. That goes down to 3 ticks with rune, but with dragon, theres a 1 in 6 chance that your mining action becomes 2 ticks. The best for the fastest experience is the crystal pickaxe. This requires the song of the elves quest, and is ideal for higher level mining training. The crystal pick has a 1 in 4 chance to have a 2 tick mining action, slightly better than the dragon pickaxe. While you're mining, you can use the dragon, crystal or 3rd age pickaxe special attack to get a plus 3 mining level boost, which improves your mining speed. Even if you don't have the mining level for a Dragon Pickaxe, you can still benefit from the Special Attack, as long as you have level 60 Attack. Pathways To 99 The fastest way to reach 99 mining is by using tick manipulation, and by following this pathway you can go from level 1 to 99 in around 130 hours. It includes 3 tick 4 iron and granite where you’ll mine granite for the majority of your experience. The fastest pathway to 99 without tick manipulation is going to take 180 to 200 hours. You could choose between training at the volcanic mine, blast mine or by defeating zalcano. Some popular AFK mining pathways to 99 include mining shooting stars, or at the motherlode mine, or at calcified rocks. In terms of money making, ill be showing Blast Mining, Zalcano, Runite Rocks and Amethyst. Low Level Mining Now lets move into the low level mining training section… Questing (Low Level Training) At a low mining level, questing is the fastest way to level up. Every regular player should aim to complete doric's quest to go from 1 to 10 mining very quickly. You need iron ores to finish the quest, so ironmen can either get them from killing dwarves, or by pickpocketing ham members. You can then do the plague city quest to get to level 18, which is a short easy quest. Then lastly, you can complete the digsite quest to reach level 33. You will need some extra stats to do this quest though, but having level 33 means you'll be able to powermine iron fairly effectively. There are a few more quests that give mining experience, but they have higher requirements. Copper & Tin (Low Level Training) If youre not into questing, the regular way to train your mining at a low level is copper and tin powermining. This can be done in a variety of places across Runescape, but some easily accessed places are the lumbridge swamp mine, and both the south east and south west varrock mines. You should be upgrading to the next available pickaxe as you unlock it because it dramatically increases your mining speed. So you should buy all of the pickaxes before you start training. To reach level 15 from level 1, you need to mine 138 ores, which is going to take about 15 minutes… Technically, you can 3 tick copper and tin for faster xp rates, where you start a 3 tick action before mining each rock. Using tick manipulation can almost double your mining speed in some cases, and tick manipulating is the only way to reach above 100k mining xp per hour in the entire game. Fastest Methods Now ill cover the fastest mining methods, and ill be showing iron, granite, the volcanic mine, blast mine, and gem rocks. Powermining Iron (Fastest Methods) First up is powermining iron, and from level 15 when you unlock it, all the way to level 70, powermining is the fastest experience without tick manipulation. The xp rates start at around 15k per hour when you unlock it, scaling up to over 60k per hour with a dragon pickaxe. Varrock armour is an important unlock with iron mining, since it effectively gives a 10% xp boost. When youre training, you should mine at a 3 iron rock location, where you don’t have to move while having access to 3 rocks. Above is every 3 rock location, where the noteable ones are alkharid and the isle of souls. However, once you reach 60 mining, its strongly suggested to go to the mining guild 3 rock locations. This is because rocks respawn faster here, and you get unidentified minerals. So the process of powermining iron involves mining and dropping without moving. On runelite, you can move your inventory closer to the rocks so that you don’t have to move the mouse as far to drop the ores. You can mine and drop after each rock, or alternatively you can mine all 3 around you, then drop all 3, and repeat. 3 Tick 4 Iron (Fastest Methods) 3 ticking 4 iron rocks is the fastest experience in the game between levels 15 and 45, and it involves movement and tick manipulation to get very high xp rates. Instead of the usual 15k youd get from powermining at level 15, you can get over 30k xp per hour with 3 tick 4 iron. This is because you spend no time waiting for rocks to respawn.. This method can only be done at certain locations where there are 4 iron rocks closeby to eachother. My favourite place for this method is on the isle of souls, which any members account can access. To 3 tick, you will need something that starts a 3 tick cycle, and that could be herb tar, teak log and knife or kebbit vambraces… So you start by doing a 3 tick action and mining an iron rock. Then as soon as you receive an ore, you start another 3 tick cycle, then click on a nearby rock, and repeat. You have to move every 3 gameticks as well, so even if you don’t successfully mine a rock, you have to move onto the next one to keep up the 3 tick actions. It’s recommended to swap the iron ore to left click drop, and once youre comfortable, you can click to drop right after starting the 3 tick cycle. While youre learning any 3 tick method, you may need to start your cycle again since mistakes will stop you from getting ores until you restart the cycle. 3 Tick 4 Granite (Fastest Methods) 3 ticking 4 granite rocks is the fastest method from 45 all the way up to 99 mining, although it also involves movement and tick manipulation to get the highest xp rates. You can expect up to 85k xp an hour at level 45 with 3 tick 4 granite, all the way up to 125k exp an hour at level 99. The only place for this method is mining in the quarry deep in the desert, where there are 4 granite rocks close together. You will need some waterskins, a circlet of water or the Desert Amulet 4 to protect yourself from the desert heat. Similar to 3tick4iron you will need something that starts a 3 tick cycle, herb and tar, teak logs and knife or kebbit claws and vambraces. 3tick 4 granite can be tough at first, but once you get the rhythm of it you can consistently see over 100k xp an hour starting at level 65. So you start by doing a 3 tick cycle action, then click to mine a granite rock. As soon as you receive the xp drop, you start another 3 tick action and click on the next rock, going in clockwise order. Its important to keep moving every 3 ticks even when you dont get an xp drop, and once again, you can use left click drop on the granite so you can drop inbetween mining. Volcanic Mine (Fastest Methods) One of the fastest methods in the game, without tick manipulation, is partaking in the volcanic mine. This is on Fossil Island, requiring 50 mining and having the Bone Voyage quest completed. 40 prayer is also recommended for protect from ranged. While you can start this activity at level 50 it is recommended to start doing the group method after level 70 mining. At 70, you can expect up to 70k xp per hour, scaling up to 85k at 99. To enter the Volcanic Mine you will need to pay 30 Numilite, and its recommended to take food and a prayer pot. The primary goal in the minigame is to mine the Huge Rock in the lava channel, as it moves downstream players mine it where it stops. You receive ore fragments when mining the Huge Rock and these fragments can be exchanged for rewards. You also have to monitor the mines stability and interact with the various vents to keep the mine from collapsing. So there are 3 main methods that you can do in the volcanic mine, known as capping, fixing and the group method. Capping in the volcanic mine involves taking the large rocks near the gas chambers, checking on the vents and repeatedly blocking and unblocking the chamber until you have 406 points. Capping gives a lot of reward points, and can give around 50k mining xp per hour. This is a great way to get some volcanic mine shop items for ironmen including the canteen. The other solo method, “fixing”, involves managing the vents, while mining the huge rock. While this method is more afk it will get you up to 20k xp an hour at level 50 all the way up to 60k at 99. Now, the fastest volcanic mine method in terms of xp rates is going as a group… In teams consisting of 4 or 5 players there are four designated roles. The roles for each player consist of a combination of checking, fixing and mining the boulder. I could make an entire guide for this method so im not going to explain it here - if you want an in-depth volcanic mine guide, go here . Blast Mine (Fastest Methods) Next is the blast mine, which provides competitive xp rates as well as profit. The blast mine is a great way to get higher level ores than your mining level by using dynamite, which will allow you to receive ores up to 10 levels higher than your mining level. This means you can get Adamant ores at level 60 and even Runite ores at level 75. You can start mining here at level 43 but it is recommended to wait until level 45 to unlock mithril ores at least. For the best experience, start at level 60 where you can expect up to 45k xp an hour going all the way up to 90k at level 99. Your profit from the blast mine increases greatly after 75 mining when Runite ores are unlocked. Weight reducing clothing like graceful is strongly recommended over the prospectors outfit while mining, and if using stamina potions, you can also consider using a ring of endurance too. The process involves Mining out a section of wall, placing the Dynamite in, and lighting the fuse. By moving on to the next section and following a pattern you can avoid all explosions and receive the best xp an hour possible. The optimal spot for training is to the north east. Zalcano (Fastest Methods) After a recent update, the Zalcano boss is now one of the fastest mining training methods in the game without tick manipulation. To receive more exp, you can toggle loot off at Rhiannon which boosts the mining xp to 55k starting at level 70, all the way up to 100k xp an hour at 99. While you don’t receive loot, you still have a chance at the Zalcano pet. Zalcano is normally ran in groups between 2 and 5 players. Wearing weight reducing clothing and health regenerating items is recommended, like the bracelet or hitpoints skillcape. As far as inventory goes, it’s recommended to bring 3 staminas and some hp restoring items, most people bring 4 to 8 saradomin brews for extended trips. Killing Zalcano involves mining rock formations in one of the four corners and refining the tephra you receive at the furnace to the east. You then imbue it into imbued tephra at the altar on the western side. Throwing these allows you to attack Zalcano and any golems summoned. Standing under a blue demonic symbol will increase your accuracy and damage when throwing imbued tephra. Saving your tephra until there are blue symbols to stand on is highly recommended, reducing how many you will have to craft each run. When the armor is depleted, Zalcano drops to the floor and becomes vulnerable allowing you to mine. After 12 to 16 seconds have passed, Zalcano will stand up and reset to 300 hitpoints. You repeat this process until your team has defeated the boss. 3 Tick Gem Rocks (Fastest Methods) At 40 mining, a notable method that gives high xp rates, is 3 tick gem rock mining, located in Shilo Village. For this method to be practical it is recommended to be level 61+ to use a dragon pickaxe and you MUST wear an Amulet of Glory which will triple your likelihood of mining the gem rock. You will also need the Medium Karamja diary unlocked to be able to mine non-stop without world hopping in the Underground Gem Mine. There is a bank chest nearby to put your gems in each time you complete a lap around the room. You can expect to get up to 55k xp an hour at 61, and up to 105k xp an hour at 99. For this method we move around the room counter clockwise. To begin we use the 3 tick items on each other and move onto the rock directly next to you. As you get more comfortable you can drop unwanted gems right after using your 3tick items allowing you to collect more each lap. When your inventory fills you can deposit all at the deposit chest. AFK Training There are various AFK mining methods in Oldschool, and ill be showing Shooting stars, the Motherlode Mine, Calcified Rocks and the passive mining xp you get from zeah runecrafting. Shooting Stars (AFK Method) A method that has gained popularity for its downtime in between clicks is Shooting Stars which have an average afk time of 7 minutes per layer. While these are unlocked at level 10 it is recommended to start at level 50 mining so you can access stars sooner instead of waiting. Each star drops and is tiered 1 through 9. These are the requirements for each tier and the average xp rates when mining. You can see that the rates are fairly slow, but for 7 minutes of afk time, you can’t really expect high xp rates. In terms of items, your best pickaxe, the Prospectors outfit and teleports to get around the world are recommended. Below are all of the recommended teleports you should have to quickly access stars. Some of these have fairly high requirements, but you dont need all of them. To find stars many people join the in game shooting stars friends chat through the group finder, although i would recommend using the star miners map website . It shows exactly where each active star is located on the runescape map, and tells you how long they approximately have left before they disappear. So to mine a shooting star, you firstly locate a star, then you choose a teleport closeby. Once you reach the star, you just click the star to mine it and you’ll be able to afk for up to 7 minutes. When one star layer depletes, it moves onto the next tier, where you can click once to continue mining for another 7 minutes. Once the star depletes, you find a new star with the star chat or with the star miners map, then repeat the process. Motherlode Mine (AFK Method) One of the most popular AFK methods is the motherlode mine which is unlocked at 30 mining. It can be accessed by going down the eastern Falador mine entrance and through the cave tunnel or by using a skills necklace. Once inside you will be able to mine the paydirt from the walls and deposit them in the Hopper. When the sack is full you can loot it for various ores and golden nuggets. Starting on the ground floor the paydirt when mined lasts between 23 and 27 seconds from when the first paydirt is mined. On the upper floor, ore veins will last between 36-40 seconds allowing you to spend longer without interacting with the client. Starting at level 30 on the lower floor players can expect 13k xp per hour, which increases towards 35k as you approach 60. Once on the upper floor players can expect to receive 45k xp at level 60 all the way up to 65k at 99. As for unlock order it is commonly recommended to unlock the rewards in this order. Now ill take you through one inventory at the motherlode mine. Starting from the bank, I run to a nearby pay dirt deposit. Then I click on the Ore Vein in the wall.. And Once its mined, i move onto the next wall deposit and repeat until i have a full inventory. To clean the paydirt, Place it in the hopper, on the north side of the waterwheels loop. You will receive an xp drop when the paydirt reaches the sack at the end of the water flow. If the water isn’t flowing you will need to repair the wheel by using a hammer with it. Once the ore sack is full, you can loot the ores and gold nuggets by left clicking the sack. Deposit it all at the bank or bank deposit box, then you go back to mining pay dirt. Calcified Rocks (AFK Method) A method introduced after partial completion of the Perilous Moons quest is Calcified Rocks, and these require level 41 mining. These rock veins are similar to the motherlode mine but instead of ore you receive blessed bone shards which can be used to get prayer xp. With an average afk time of roughly 70 seconds you can expect to receive mediocre xp rates, but you do get bone shards at the same time which can be used to train prayer. To access the Mine you will have to travel to western Varlamore, south of Ralos Rise. While in the room, every 1-2 minutes some rock veins will leak water. Mining these specific rocks increase the success rate of mining by 15%, but they deplete faster. If you world hop while in the mine your pickaxe won’t work until you wait for the next ore cycle or leave and come back. Zeah Runecrafting (AFK Method) If you plan to train your runecraft at Zeah Arceuus Blood Altar you will receive over 1.2 million mining xp from 77-99 runecrafting. It can be a great way to save hours of mining elsewhere if you plan to do this method. You can afk up to 3 minutes at a time at higher mining levels but, you can expect only 4k mining xp per hour, but it is somewhat passive. So essentially, if you plan to get 99 runecrafting at zeah, you should do that before you get 99 mining. Profitable Methods Now ill cover the most profitable mining methods, where we will see the blast mine, Zalcano, Runite rocks and Amethyst rocks. The motherlode mine and shooting stars could also be considered to be money making methods however they are better for afk training. Blast Mine (Profit Method) In the blast mine, because you receive ores 10 levels earlier than your unboosted level you can expect a higher amount of gp at an earlier level. While it is quite click intensive you can expect to make 180k gp an hour at level 45. The profits scale up to 620k an hour at level 90 and eventually reaches 800k at level 99. Going from level 45 to 99 mining at the blast mine, you can expect to make over 100 mil in profit. Zalcano (Profit Method) Defeating Zalcano is the most profitable mining money maker in the game, requiring level 70 mining and completion of song of the elves.. If you toggle loot on at zalcano, you can earn up to 2 mil gp per hour, however, the mining xp is quite low, reaching a maximum of only 15k per hour. If you did zalcano from when you unlock it, all the way to 99 mining, you would profit over 1.5 bil, but its going to take over 500 hours. Zalcano has a range of rune and noted resource drops, including ores, bars, high level gems and even onyx bolt tips. Every kill you get has a 1/200 chance of hitting the Crystal Tool seed drop as well as guaranteed Crystal Shards each kill. Runite Rocks (Profit Method) At level 85 mining, you unlock the second most profitable mining method in the game, mining rune rocks. Each rune ore is worth 10k, and its possible to mine over 60 of them per hour, which translates to a bit over 600k gp per hour. There are 15 different mining locations for runite, and while the ones closer to a bank are usually the most profit per hour, you’ll find that those ones are usually crowded with other players. So if you want to mine rune, you should choose a spot that not many players go to, regardless of how far the bank is. With mining runite, varrock armour 4 boosts your profit and xp by 10%. Amethyst (Profit Method) At level 92 mining, you can mine amethyst in the mining guild. This brings in around 300k gp in profit per hour, and is a very afk method of mining. It’s strongly recommended to have mining gloves while mining here to increase your afk times, and varrock armour and the celestial ring do not work with amethyst. Ironman Methods As an ironman, there are a few methods that are more viable than others. Mining at places like sandstone and gem rocks are beneficial, providing both decent xp rates and decent rewards. Ironmen can use all of the regular training methods ive shown in this video, however I will go into more detail about which ones are useful for ironmen. Sandstone (Ironmen) Unlocked at 35 mining, sandstone is the best way to gather sand for crafting training, netting over 2 thousand buckets of sand per hour. The xp rates reach up to 45k per hour at higher levels, which isnt that fast, but its still decent since you’re collecting crafting supplies. Sandstone is mined in the desert quarry, deep in the kharidian desert, and here, there are sandstone and granite rocks. Once you mine a full inventory of sandstone, you can run west to the sand grinder. Each different weight of sandstone gives a different amount of sand buckets, and you can then claim all of the buckets in noted form from Drew, costing 50 coins each. Gem Rocks (Ironmen) Gem rocks are another inviting option for ironmen, where you can just mine them normally, or you can 3 tick for the fastest rates. You can get over 12 hundred gems per hour at a higher mining level, and bringing along a gem bag can store the regular gems you get. Shooting Stars (Ironmen) As an iron, shooting stars can be an excellent way to get clay packs and gem packs, useful for making teleport tablets and for making jewellery. This is only really viable for irons if you want to train AFK, since the overall output of clay packs and gem packs is pretty slow. Amethyst (Ironmen) Amethyst is a key unlock for ironmen to create powerful amethyst ammunition. Many ironmen choose to train their mining this way since its fairly afk, but it is slow experience. Zalcano (Ironmen) And the final ironman method is zalcano, which is excellent for resources if you toggle rewards on. You’ll get a wide range of rewards, including runes, ores, bars, crystal shards and bolt tips. If you opt out of rewards, zalcano is one of the fastest mining training methods in the game without tick manipulation. Overall, ironmen can partake in the same methods that regular accounts follow, but they may choose to train mining with the aim of gathering resources, and thats where sandstone and gem rocks are used. F2P Methods To finish off the guide, I'd briefly like to cover free to play mining training. Fastest 1-99 Mining in F2P The absolute fastest way to 99 mining in free to play is firstly completing dorics quest, then powermining copper and tin, then from 15 to 99, powermining iron is the fastest xp in the game. Shooting stars do work in free to play, however they give reduced experience. They can be a decent way to train though, but you wont be able to get any rewards since the shooting stars reward shop is members only. Mining barronite deposits after the below ice mountain quest is another decent mining training method for free to play. Its pretty low effort, and you can take the barronite to an anvil to gain some smithing experience. You can also purchase the charm of mining for 2.5 thousand barronite shards, which gives a 10% increased success rate when mining barronite rocks. In terms of profitable training methods in free to play, you can access adamant and runite rocks to make some money. Adamant will make around 115k gp per hour in free to play, with 70 mining, while runite can earn over 500k gp per hour, but thats very hard to achieve since the runite rocks are usually occupied in free to play. The only rune rocks for free to play are also deep in the wilderness, making it a less inviting method. Thanks for reading!

Whats going on guys my names Theoatrix and welcome to my updated level 1-99 Fletching guide for OSRS. Fletching is the fastest 99 in OSRS where the fastest recorded time is by Sherlockness. He reached 99 only 2 and a half hours after making his account. Guide QuickLinks Methods Overview Passive Fletching Cost Of Fletching Low Level Training Fastest Methods AFK Methods Profitable Methods Ironman Methods If you would prefer to watch the video version of this guide, you can watch that below. Otherwise, continue scrolling to read the 1-99 Fletching guide. Fletching Methods Overview There are 7 categories of fletching methods. Bows You can fletch bows for mediocre xp rates but at a small profit in most cases. If you just string the best profitable bows you can all the way to 99 you would profit 13.6 mil but it would take 60 Hours. Darts There's fletching darts which give the highest xp rates in the game but at a fairly big cost. The fastest xp is achieved with windows mouse keys and this is how Sherlockness set the fastest 99 record. Bolts There's Bolts, which are trained in a similar way to darts and bolts also give very high xp rates. They can also be cheaper than darts in some cases. Arrows Fletching arrows can give over 650k xp per hour with dragon. Arrows can be a low cost training option while still providing some afk time. Javelins Making javelins is another fast and semi afk fletching method... Although they have low trade volumes on the grand exchangeand they are not cheap either. Tipping Bolts You can add gem tips to bolts for decent experience and in some cases for profitable fletching experience. Tipping bolts can also be considered to be semi afk. Weaponry Fletching also allows you to create weapons like the blowpipe, crossbows, the webweaver bow and more. In some cases these can be profitable methods and I'll talk more about weaponry in the profitable section of this guide. Passive Fletching Fletching is a skill that can be trained somewhat passively. You can fletch while you do other activities across runescape, like during a quest, or while you level another skill. Doing this is the most efficient way to train fletching since you're progressing your account at the same time. Here are 5 examples of when you could train passively. While training agility, you can fletch bolts or darts in between obstacles. With low level hunter, there's some waiting time between trap placement. While doing farm runs you can fletch darts or bolts while you run to the next patch. You can fletch inbetween games at the wintertodt. You can fletch while youre running doing a quest or achievement diaries. Cost Of Fletching The cost of fletching fluctuates a lot so I would recommend checking a fletching calculator before doing any fletching training methods. Fletching Calculator > Low Level Training At level 1 fletching, you have 4 training methods at your disposal. There's bronze arrows, headless arrows, arrow shafts and questing. Bronze arrows are the fastest way to level your fletching at a low level. You can get around 55k fletching xp per hour from level 1, which is very fast for such a low level. To do this, you need to purchase headless arrows and bronze arrowtips. To train, you use the two items on eachother, then select to create 10 Sets of 15 arrows. You'll automatically process the 10 sets, then when you're done, you use them on eachother again and repeat. Headless arrows are a profitable alternative to bronze arrows, providing fast experience, reaching around 45k xp per hour. Being profitable, I would suggest training with headless arrows instead of bronze arrows if money is an issue. To make headless arrows, you need feathers and arrows shafts, then you use the feathers on the arrow shafts and select to process 10 Sets of headless arrows. Then you repeat that once you've created 10 sets. Another low level fletching method is just cutting logs into arrow shafts. This is quite slow and expensive if you buy the logs off the grand exchange. So I would only recommend cutting logs into arrow shafts if you're woodcutting the logs yourself. So maybe if you don’t have any money at all, this would be an inviting option. To make arrow shafts, you use a knife on some logs, then select to create arrow shafts. This is pretty afk compared to the other methods, but much slower. The final low level fletching method im showing is questing. Completing animal magnetism, then zogre flesh eaters, then temple of ikov, will get you from level 1 to 28 fletching. Although, questing is not a popular pathway at a low level. For example, if you fletched bronze arrows for 10 to 15 minutes you'd end up with the same amount of experience as completing all of those quests. Fastest Methods Im going to start by showing the fastest possible pathway to level 99. Below is the fastest pathway to 99, with the xp rates, costs and amounts. It costs 287 mil at the current prices (September 2024), and will realistically take 6 to 8 hours if you use windows mousekeys or a touch screen. Your first 6 levels are done by fletching bronze arrows, which are the fastest until you unlock bronze darts. Then you can use a dragonfruit pie to boost by 4 levels to create bronze darts with level 10. Along the entire pathway, you should take advantage of these pies to access the next method 4 levels early . There are no quest requirements to fletch darts, you only need the tourist trap quest to SMITH dart tips, so you can train with this entire pathway from tutorial island. Darts are made with feathers and dart tips, and to process them quickly, you need to go into your in-game settings and turn off the make X for darts and bolts option. Every time you make a set of darts, you only make one set. But you can fletch as many darts as you can and the game will process all of them. So you basically have to spam click really fast to get the best xp rates. But you can use windows mousekeys which can be faster and easier. This is how windows mousekeys works. Jagex allows 1 to 1 input actions which means 1 keyboard input can be mapped to 1 single movement or click. Windows mousekeys lets you set 1 to 1 actions on the keypad of your keyboard, Pressing 4, 8, 2 and 6 move the mouse, and 5 is left click. This is how you set up mousekeys. 1. You firstly search for mousekeys in your computer search and open your mousekeys settings. 2. Turn on mousekeys 3. Then in the settings, turn on the control setting, then you can lower the speed and acceleration. 4. Then you hold control while pressing 4 5 6 5 4 on your keypad for horizontal, or 2 5 8 5 2 for vertical training. 5. You can also set up sticky keys to keep control held down. A popular alternative is to train fletching on a tablet with OSRS mobile. This is easier on your hand and you can walk around while you do it. Instead of fletching high level darts like dragon darts on this pathway, you can stick to fletching one type of dart all the way to 99. This is slower but still faster than the other methods. Mithril darts are a great option, where going to level 99 will cost 110 mil. Alternatively, an even cheaper but slower method is making steel darts. At level 90, amethyst darts are a cheaper alternative to rune and dragon darts, and provide very fast xp rates. Next im going to cover Bolts, which are similar to darts where you make a set of bolts every time you click. So these can be done for very fast experience with windows mousekeys, and can be used while you train another skill. Bolts are generally cheaper than fletching darts, but are slower. You can see that bolts give less xp compared to their dart counterpart, but keep in mind that some of these have low trade volumes. Broad bolts are a popular option, as well as dragon bolts which can sometimes be breakeven. To make bolts, you need unfinished bolts, so for bronze for example, it would be bronze bolt then unf in brackets. You then attach feathers by using them on eachother. Fletching arrows is another fast training method which can be semi afk. The xp rates are nowhere near as high as darts and bolts, but youll be getting at least 100k xp per hour from level 15. Above is a cheap and fast arrow training pathway to 99. It takes around 28 Hours with this pathway and costs 58 Mil. Steel and amethyst arrows are particularly cheap compared to the other arrows, however, you should avoid making adamant and rune arrows since you lose a lot of money. Making arrows is the same as I showed in the low level section, where you buy arrowtips and headless arrows and use them on eachother. The AFK processing time with arrows is 12 Seconds, which isnt long but it’s a lot less click intensive than the other methods. Fletching javelins provides similar xp rates to fletching arrows, except javelins can be a lot more expensive in most cases. They have very low trade volumes on the grand exchange, and the only javelin really worth making is dragon javelins. Recently though, the cost has increased, where going from level 92 to 99 will cost 82 Mil and should take 9 to 10 Hours. To make javelins, you need javelin heads and javelin shafts. Then you use one on the other, and click the confirmation box to make 10 sets of javelins. AFK Methods Now im going to cover the AFK and semi AFK fletching methods, and they are fletching bows, battlestaves, celastrus and antler bolts. Fletching logs into bows is a common pathway to 99 fletching since it can be profitable and afk, although if you have the money, I would suggest training with cheap darts, bolts or arrows. There's 2 steps to make a bow. You firstly cut logs into an unstrung bow. Then you add bowstring to the bow, and both actions give fletching experience. Stringing bows is faster experience than cutting logs into unstrung bows, but is less afk since you can only process 14 at a time. Above is the pathway to 99 fletching the profitable bows. Stringing is more profitable than cutting logs at this point in time, and stringing magic longbows will be your main method to 99 once you unlock them. From 85 to 99 fletching, cutting magic longbows will get about 4 mil in profit. At level 40 fletching, you can cut celastrus bark into battlestaves. These give the same afk time as cutting logs, but the xp is quite high for a level 40 method. The downside though, is you lose money, where right now youd lose 340 coins per bark. To do this method, you just buy celastrus bark off the grand exchange and with a knife in your inventory you can click the bark to convert it into a battlestaff. Making antler bolts is another afk fletching method, where the afk interval lasts 18 Seconds, which isnt overly afk, but these are currently profitable to make, although I don’t think that will last. The xp rates for these is not the greatest either. To make antler bolts, you use a chisel on the respective antler, and you get 12 bolts per antler. The xp rates are very low for this method, so this is more for profit, but I chose to put it in the afk section because the profit probably wont last after uploading this. Making arrows and javelins could also be considered a semi afk method. With both of these, your afk interval lasts around 12 Seconds, which isnt a very long time but it still allows you to multitask while watching shows, lectures or while you do something else on your PC. Overall, these fletching methods are mostly semi AFK rather than being actually AFK, but fletching logs into bows is the best you'll get. Profitable Methods Fletching bows is a profitable way to train where currently, maple, yew and magic longbows are all profitable bows to string. From level 1 to 99 fletching, if you string the best bow you can, you'll profit 13.6 Mil. Tipping bolts is another profitable fletching method, and this is where you add gem bolt tips to bolts. A lot of the lower level bolts have low trade volumes, so youll most likely lose money if you do those. But bolts like ruby, diamond, dragonstone and onyx are all profitable ways to train. The xp rates are quite high at the same time, reaching 280k with onyx bolts. To do this, you just use the gem tips on the bolts, then you click the creation interface to make 10 sets. You can also tip dragon bolts, which can be more profitable than regular bolts, but do keep in mind that some of them have low trade volumes so they wont end up making any profit. The popular dragon bolts are still decent options though, like ruby and diamond. You can also turn cut gems into bolt tips for fletching experience. This is NOT good fletching xp per hour, but it is highly profitable in some cases. For example, cutting ruby bolt tips from rubies from when you unlock them, all the way to 99, you would profit over 480 mil.. BUT it would take 1500 hours, so the hourly profit is only about 300K per hour. To make gem bolt tips, you just use a chisel on a cut gem. And I would strongly suggest NOT doing dragonstone or onyxes since you lose a lot of money on those. Check a fletching calculator to see what's really profitable at the current time. Next up is fletching weaponry, and this is the most profitable fletching method in the game but it does require a lot of patience with the grand exchange, as well as a lot of starting capital. At 47 fletching you can make light ballistas. this is currently quite profitable and gives 330 experience per ballista. At 72 fletching you can make heavy ballistas with an unstrung heavy ballista and a monkey tail, but these are usually less profitable although give double the amount of experience. Making crossbows is another fletching moneymaker, where they mostly become profitable from rune crossbows. If you solely string rune crossbows at 69 fletching, youll profit 120 mil going to 99 at this point in time. Dragon crossbows are also profitable, but require more starting capital and patience with the grand exchange. A new item, the sunlight hunters crossbow, is currently profitable as well. And to make these you use a chisel with a sunlight antelope antler and a regular hunters crossbow. This gives zero experience, so its only useful for money making. At 78 fletching, you can turn a tanzanite fang into a blowpipe. This can be profitable if you're patient with the grand exchange. Once again, this does require a lot of starting capital since each fang is over 4 mil. And you only get 120 xp per blowpipe, so its not as fast as ballistas. Another profitable weapon that can be made with fletching is the webweaver bow, which is made by combining a fang of venenatis with a craws bow. This requires 85 fletching and once again can be very profitable if youre patient. The last profitable method that im showing is training at the Wintertodt. You get xp based on your current fletching level, so at higher levels youll get more xp per hour. But this method is only recommended if you need to train your firemaking. Going from level 50 to 99 firemaking at the wintertodt will get you from 1 to around 50 fletching if you fletch every log that you chop. Although, I recommend training some fletching normally before doing the wintertodt so you get more xp per log and skip the early levels. If you start with 20 fletching, and get 99 firemaking, youll reach around level 70 fletching. Ironman Methods As an ironman, fletching is still a fairly fast skill if you have the money. For low levels with no money, cutting trees and fletching the logs is a common way to train. The wintertodt can also provide some early fletching training for ironmen. But the fastest way to level fletching at a low level is buying arrow shafts and feathers from shops, and creating headless arrows. Feathers can be bought from fishing shops, and arrow shafts can be bought from the ranged shop in the ranging guild. That requires 40 ranged, so without it, you can cut and fletch willow logs for a lot of arrow shafts. The main goal for ironmen is to unlock broad arrows, which are a fast and fairly cost effective way to train fletching. You need the broader fletching slayer unlock which costs 300 slayer points to be able to do this. Broad arrows give 450k xp per hour at a cost of 2.8 mil gp per hour. So its almost 6 gp per xp but it’s the fastest fletching method on an ironman by a mile. This is because you can buy broad arrowhead packs from any slayer master. Another common fletching pathway for ironmen is to gather maple logs at miscellania, then cut them into maple longbows, and optionally string them too. You can then alch the longbows to get your money back, as well as magic experience. There is also the recently updated trouble brewing, where you can get 200k fletching xp per hour from a low level, just requiring the cabin fever quest. You essentially just cut the scrapey trees for their logs, then you can spam fletch the logs with a knife. They give 160 xp each, and it doesn’t scale with your level. As a higher level ironman, some of your fletching experience will come from creating the ammunition used for raiding and bossing. For example, fletching the darts needed for your blowpipe might get you a significant chunk of fletching xp over time.

What's going on guys! My name's Theoatrix, and welcome to my level 1-99 Ranged Guide for OSRS . This guide is ironman friendly, and its suitable for pures as well. GUIDE OUTLINE Why Train Ranged How Ranged Works Useful Unlocks Ranged Weapons Ranged Armour Pathways to 99 Low Level Training Fastest Pathway AFK Pathway Ranged Slayer Bossing With Ranged F2P Methods If you would prefer to watch a video version of this guide, you can watch that below. Otherwise you can continue down the page to read the written guide. Why Train Ranged? So why should you train your ranged level? Ranged is one of the Fastest 99's in the game - At high levels you can get XP rates of up to 1M per hour … On the Fastest Pathway that I’m showing in this article, you can get 99 Ranged in only 22 Hours . Ranged is also an AFKable 99. On the AFK Pathway that I’m showing, you can get 99 Ranged in 105 hours , with AFK intervals of up to 20 minutes . A big reason to train Ranged is because of its excellent use in PvM and PvP . A number of Bosses are weak to Ranged, like Zulrah and Muspah, and all 3 Raids require Ranged.
It's recommended to level up to 80 Ranged before you consider Bossing or Raiding. Some day, you might consider making a Pure account. Well, Ranged is commonly the main attack style for pures due to its fast attack speed and high accuracy . 8 quests in Old School have a Ranged level requirement. Most of these quests are essential in progressing your account, unlocking new areas and more quests. You need level 60 Ranged to get the Quest Cape, and you need level 70 Ranged for the Achievement Diary Cape. How Ranged Works Now I’m going to go over how Ranged works, starting with your ranged level. Increasing your Ranged Level increases both your Ranged Accuracy and Max Hit . With a regular Shortbow and Bronze arrows , at level 1, your max hit is 1 , and your accuracy is 50.5% . At 99 Ranged, with the same gear, your max hit is 12 , with an accuracy of 95.8% . Your Ranged Attack Bonus comes from weapons and armour, and increasing your ranged attack bonus increases your Ranged Accuracy . The Bowfa (Bow of faerdhinen) gives the highest ranged attack bonus out of any weapon, giving +128 . Every piece of Ranged Armour gives a ranged attack bonus, with Masori armour giving the highest in the game. Your Ranged Strength Bonus mostly comes from ammunition, and some weapons and armour give ranged strength bonus too. Increasing your ranged strength bonus only increases your ranged max hit. The highest ranged strength bonus you can get comes from using a Heavy Ballista with Dragon Javelins . The Necklace of Anguish is a notable item that gives ranged strength bonus, and the Masori armour set gives a small strength bonus as well. Most ranged weapons in Old School have 3 Combat Styles. There's Accurate , which gives a +3 invisible ranged level boost. There's Rapid , which attacks 1 tick faster. And there is Longrange , which has an increased attack distance. For the best XP and DPS, its recommended to always use Rapid . Chinchompas work a little differently. They have Short, Medium, and Long fuse , which have similar attributes to Accurate Rapid, and Longrange , except they have different accuracy rolls. Their accuracy is based on how many tiles away the monster is. So, this means you should use Short fuse if you want to save money and get the most out of your Chinchompas. Although Medium fuse is the best XP per hour due to the increased attack speed. Now I’m going to go over the useful unlocks that will help with your ranged training. Useful Unlocks Completing Animal Magnetism rewards the Ava's devices, a cape slot item that automatically picks up ammunition as you shoot it. This is a must for ranged training - its going to save you millions on your journey to 99. You can then complete Dragon Slayer 2 to upgrade to the Ava's assembler, which gives extra ranged bonuses. Starting Monkey Madness 1 and Monkey Madness 2 , both unlock chinning training locations. If you're after the fastest experience, you'll need at least one of these to be able to chin effectively. Overall Maniacal Monkeys are better XP per hour, so aim for Monkey Madness 2 . Completing the Dwarf Cannon quest allows you to use the Dwarf Multicannon , which provides the fastest XP rates at a low level. The cannon is also used with Slayer training, another big source of ranged experience. From the Horror from the Deep quest, you can get the Book of Law , which gives a plus 10 ranged attack bonus. This use useful for pures since it doesn’t have any requirements to wear. Its highly recommended to use an imbued Archer's ring . You can now imbue items at Soul Wars, the Nightmare Zone, and the PvP arena. I recommend imbuing at the Nightmare Zone (NMZ) since its really AFK, although Soul Wars is a quick way to imbue. The last useful unlock is Rigour , a prayer unlocked at 77 prayer. To unlock Rigour, you need to read a Dexterous Prayer Scroll , and these currently cost 30 Mil on the Grand Exchange. Now I’m going to go over the Ranged weapons you should be using. I've picked 5 of the best weapons for each combat bracket. Ranged Weapons These are the weapons for the low ranged bracket. At level 1, using a Cannon is the fastest, followed by Iron knives and short bows. At level 20, Mithril Darts are very affordable and effective. At the mid-level, Chinchompas are going to give you the best XP rates. A Rune crossbow with Broad Bolts is about on par with a Magic short bow with Rune arrows, although Rune arrows are far more expensive than Broad Bolts. In the higher-level bracket, Black Chinchompas give the highest XP rates. The Corrupted Bowfa (Bow of faerdhinen (c)) is the best to use for regular training, followed by the Toxic Blowpipe. The Venator Bow is another decent option in multicombat areas. Ranged Armour From levels 1 to 50, these are the best armour sets that you should be using. Take note that the Green d’hide body requires Dragon Slayer 1 to wear. Pure accounts can only wear the leg slot item, and pures can't wear Snakeskin. Above level 50, these are the best armour sets to wear. Black d’hide is a cost effective armour option, and Masori is the best in slot. Blessed d’hide gives the same ranged bonuses as black d’hide, but gives a prayer bonus as well. There are 2 more armour sets you should be aware of. Void is a great armour set to have; however, its only effective against monsters with a high defence level, so Void is good against bosses. You should aim for Elite Void for the extra ranged damage boost. The Crystal Armour set, which you can wear after Song of the Elves , is a very effective armour set if you’re using Crystal weaponry. The Crystal Set is better than Masori when using the Bowfa. As well as your ranged armour, there's some extra items you should aim to have. In the Head Slot, these are the best items to use. Masori is best, followed by Armadyl, Blessed Coifs and Karils. The Robin Hood hat is best in slot for pures. Boot Slot items for ranged are pretty expensive. If you have the defence level, you can wear D’hide boots which are much cheaper than Rangers or Pegasians . Otherwise you can just wear Snakeskin boots. In the Gloves Slot, at a low level, you should use the best vambraces you can. If you have the Barrows Gloves unlocked, they are better than Black D’hide vambraces. The best in slot are Zaryte Vambraces . In terms of necklaces, if you have the money you should get a Necklace of Anguish for the extra Ranged Strength bonus. Otherwise, you can use a Fury or Glory , which both give a +10 Ranged Attack bonus. In the shield slot, the Twisted Buckler is the best in slot, although an Odium Ward or a Book of Law are decent low-priced options. Pathways to 99 Now lets move into the Pathways to 99. I'm going to start off by showing some low-level training methods, then I'll show 2 Pathways to 99, the Fastest Experience and an AFK Pathway. The Fastest XP pathway takes as little as 22 Hours for 99. It costs 112 mil if you use Black Chinchompas, and it costs less than half if you use Grey or Red Chinchompas. The AFK Pathway takes 105 Hours and costs 4 Mil . I recommend following both pathways and switch depending on whether you want to AFK or not. Low Level Training At a low ranged level, levelling up is incredibly slow if you attack monsters normally. So, its strongly recommended to complete quests for your early levels. The Temple of Ikov quest can get you from level 1 straight to 27 ranged. In the Quest menu, it says you need 40 Ranged to complete Temple of Ikov , but you can bypass this requirement by using Darts or Knives, while having Ice Arrows equipped. Another quest you can complete from a low level is Horror from the Deep , and this grants 4.6k Ranged XP . It requires 35 Agility , and you'll need a decent magic level to kill the Dagannoth Mother . If you completed the Temple of Ikov first, you'd get to 31 Ranged after Horror from the Deep . Death to the Dorgeshuun is another quest that gives Ranged XP with low requirements. You need 23 Thieving and Agility , plus the Lost Tribe quest. If you did the previous 2 quests, you'd be at level 32. If you would prefer to train normally instead of questing at a low level, there's 2 methods, Crabs and Cannoning . There's 4 Types of Crabs in Old School, and they all have similar bonuses, except Swamp Crabs have a negative ranged defence bonus. This makes them the best for low level ranged training. Swamp Crabs are found in Morytania . There are a few locations, but on the screen I've marked out the spots with at least 2 crabs. Alternatively, Sand Crabs are a good option for fresh accounts, and there's many locations to find these. On the screen are some of them. So the other low level method is Cannoning, and even at level 1 Ranged, you can get over 100k XP per hour , which is very fast. There's a few places you can cannon. You could go to Ogres near Castle Wars , or there’s Caged Ogres available after the Biohazard quest. Or you could go to Rock Crabs with your cannon, or Dagannoths in the Lighthouse which are one of the fastest cannon spots in the game. If you want to save some money while you cannon, there are a few cost effective cannon locations. You can cannon Ice Trolls for various Rune items and Granite Shields, overall making you break-even. Or you can cannon Scabarites after the Contact quest, and these drop alchables, herbs and seeds. Fastest Pathway Now lets get into the fastest pathway to 99. As mentioned, this pathway takes 22 Hours and costs around 112 Mil. So, you start off cannoning from a low level, then you'll be chinning all the way to 99 at high XP rates. You can choose to use Grey or Red Chinchompas all the way to 99 for slower XP rates, but at a far lower cost. So, at level 1, you'll want to complete the Dwarf Cannon quest, which has no requirements . Then get your hands on a cannon from the Grand Exchange, and some cannonballs. To get from level 1 to 45 , you'll need around 2000 Cannonballs. You should cannon at one of the locations I mentioned in the low-level training section Something to keep in mind while using a cannon , is that your cannons accuracy is based off the attack bonus of your current attack style. So, it’s best to wear your best gear and weapon when using a cannon. At 45 ranged , you can wear Grey Chinchompas , which are the fastest method until Red Chinchompas and Black Chinchompas. There are 2 places I suggest chinning at. The first is the Monkey Madness 1 tunnels, where there are Skeletal Monkeys . And the other is the monkey madness 2 tunnels, where you can find Maniacal Monkeys . Both caves require you to almost complete the Monkey Madness quests to access them. These are the XP rates you can expect. At a low level with Grey Chins, you’re going to see XP rates of around 250k per hour , which is really fast. At high ranged levels and with Black Chinchompas , you can reach over 1 mil XP per hour . It’s important to keep in mind that the Monkey Madness 2 tunnels are faster XP per hour since there’s a lot more monkeys there. So, if you’re chinning in the Monkey Madness 1 tunnels, you might need more chins than the amounts shown on the screen. Grey Chinchompas are the most cost effective but give the slowest XP rates. although if you want to train at a lower cost , you’ll still level up really fast with Grey Chins. Overall, if you went from Grey Chins to Red, to Black, its going to cost 112 Mil, but will only take 21 Hours from 45 to 99. In terms of armour, these are the best setups to use. It's important to prioritize ranged strength bonus as well as prayer bonus , although having a high ranged attack bonus does help. This makes Elite Void the best setup to use, followed by Masori and Armadyl. At low levels, just use the best Dragonhide you can, as well as Monk Robes or God Vestment Robes for prayer bonus. This is what you should bring in your inventory. It varies depending on whether you go to the Monkey Madness 1 tunnels or Monkey Madness 2 . In the Monkey Madness 2 tunnels, you don’t need to bring many Prayer Potions with you since the monkeys drop Prayer Potions, and you can use the Bonecrusher . You shouldn’t use the Bonecrusher in the Monkey Madness 1 tunnels because the Skeletal Monkeys spawn from bones that are left on the ground. You should also bring Divine Ranging potions for the best XP rates, and you'll also need a light source for the Monkey Madness 2 tunnels. This is how you navigate the Monkey Madness 1 tunnels. You start by using the Ape Atoll Teleport Spell, or you can use the tablet available off the Grand Exchange. It teleports you right inside the tunnels, close to where you’ll be chinning. So, from the teleport location, you follow the tunnels for about 1 minute, until you reach an opening with Skeletal Monkeys . Walk around to get the monkeys aggressive to you, but avoid the spike traps on the floor. Then, once they’re aggressive, stand on this tile. Here, you’ll avoid damage from the falling rocks in the cave. To stack up the monkeys, you can run between these two tiles. After some time, the monkeys lose aggression. To reset, you can run back the way you came and then return. For the Monkey Madness 2 tunnels, you should start by teleporting with your Royal Seed Pod , then head up to the gnome glider on the top floor. From here, take the glider to Ape Atoll (Ookookolly Undri) . Then you head South into the trapdoor in the grass. head South , then East , and here you follow the path you took during Monkey Madness 2 , until you reach the green circle. Here, you enter another cave, then you run East , all the way to the open area with a lot of monkeys. Then, you run to a corner of the room, and to stack up the monkeys you run back and forth around a corner. Once they're stacked, you can start chinning. After some time, the monkeys will stop being aggressive. To reset, just run back towards where you entered the cave, then run back. AFK Pathway Now let’s get into the AFK pathway. On this pathway, you’ll start off training at crabs , then at a higher level you’ll move to the Nightmare Zone . At level 80, the Venator Bow becomes the fastest AFK training method. So, from level 1 to 70, or from level 1 to 99 if you’re a pure, the best way to AFK is at crabs. You can AFK for 10 minutes at all types of crabs. If you want to learn more, skip back to the low-level training section of this guide. If you find that those standard crab locations are too busy, you can complete the Depths of Despair Quest to access the crabs in the Crabclaw Caves . Or, you could pay 10K to go to Crabclaw Isle , which is usually less populated. It’s going to take approximately 25 Hours to get from 1 to 70.. I strongly suggest having Ava’s Device if you’re planning to AFK at crabs since it allows you to use better ammo without losing much money. At level 70 Ranged, you should head to the Nightmare Zone. Here you'll get better XP rates, and if you start at 1 Hitpoint , and drink a lot of Absorption Potions, you’re able to AFK for 20 minutes before you stop attacking. When training ranged in the Nightmare Zone, you should set the monsters to Normal Mode , not hard, since the hard monsters have a high ranged defence. On the screen I’m showing the recommended quests and subsequent bosses for training ranged in the Nightmare Zone . You need at least 5 of these to be able to start a dream. For the most AFK experience, you’ll need a Rock Cake or a Locator Orb , which are obtained from freeing the Mountain Dwarf and Dragon Slayer 2 . Additionally, you’ll need Absorption Potions and Super Ranging Potions , which are rewards from the Nightmare Zone. So if its your first time in the Nightmare Zone and you don’t have any reward points, you should select bosses that use melee and use Protect from Melee until you have enough points for Absorption Potions . At level 80 Ranged, you can wear the Venator Bow . This currently costs 44 mil on the Grand Exchange, and its charged with Ancient Essence which are only 66 coins each. When charged, the bow attacks up to 3 monsters at once. In dense multicombat areas, this lets you AFK for up to 20 minutes at a time. There's a few notable places to use the Venator Bow. The Catacombs of Kourend contains a lot of monsters in a multi-combat area. Monsters like Bloodvelds , Abyssal Demons and Dust Devils and all be AFKed. However, the Nightmare Zone provides the highest XP rates with the Venator Bow since you can use Super Ranging Potions . Next I’m going to briefly cover Ranged training with Slayer. Ranged Slayer As I just mentioned, the Venator Bow can be used on monsters within the Catacombs of Kourend for AFK experience. And a lot of those monsters are assigned as Slayer Tasks. But with slayer, I suggest using Melee as your main attack style. If you trained from level 1 to 99 Slayer , cannoning as many tasks as possible, while using melee as your main attack style, you'd reach around level 90 Ranged. So if you plan on going for 99 Slayer one day, you should do Slayer before Ranged, otherwise you'll end up with a lot of excess ranged XP. Bossing With Ranged Now lets talk about bossing Ranged is commonly used with bossing due to its high accuracy and damage. With at least level 61 Ranged for the Rune Crossbow, you might consider defeating Jad for the Fire Cape. Also with the Rune Crossbow, you can defeat the King Black Dragon , which can drop a Dragon pickaxe, a Visage or a Pet. With a recommended Ranged level of 85, you can defeat Zulrah, Vorkath, and Muspah, all highly profitable bosses with pet drops. At an even high ranged level, you can start raiding , which brings in the most profit in the game. F2P Methods Now to finish off the guide, I’m going to go over some free to play training tips. As you level up, you should use the best bow you can until the Maple Shortbow . In free to play, the best weapon you can use is a Maple Shortbow with Adamant arrows . Although Adamant arrows are expensive, so Iron arrows are a cheap option for free to play where you can't get the Ava’s devices. At a low level, cows and chickens around Lumbridge are low defence targets for ranged training. At mid to high levels, players can start safe spotting monsters. You can safe-spot Ogress Warriors for profit in the Corsair Cove Dungeon , and to get there, you need to start the Corsair Curse quest. Moss Giants can be safe spotted in Varrock sewers as well, and these aren't really that profitable in free to play but you’ll be able to fight Bryophyta. For AFK training in free to play, I suggest going to the spiders on the 3rd floor of the Stronghold of Security . Here you can AFK for 10 minutes before you need to reset, but keep in mind, they do hit quite a bit, so you’ll need some defence levels to train here. I also recommend wearing Full Rune with your Maple Shortbow when training here so that you can AFK the longest without dying. OSRS Ranged Guide Thanks for reading my 1 – 99 Ranged Guide .
