This is an old revision of the document!
In this page I would like to add some methods that Ive used/discovered through playing 2009scape that could prove useful to other players. I aim to do things mildly efficient, so when I see something that stands out, I would try to add it here. Think of this as a never ending work in progress.
Typically there are a few methods of collecting vials of water for use in the Herblore Skill. Sometimes it can be difficult to get vials of water in bulk on the GE so you may need to resort to collecting them yourself.
This is the method Ive been using to train construction. This works by first obtaining the log you are using (Oak, Teak, Mahogany) and using the Demon Butler in your POH to turn them into planks before you make furniture for experience. You will need a hammer, saw, House teleport tabs, and coins in your inventory. You are able to do 24 planks a trip which is a convenient number for oak larders, mahogany tables etc. Note: you need to use house tele tabs to get the full 24, if you skimp and bring runes it drops your xp per hour significantly.
Having recently trained a 3rd account to max combat, range and mage I wanted to share my methods for the least intensive methods.
Preferably this is to be done on an alt or 2. Fishing sharks is more beneficial than fishing monks because they are actually useful for PVM. Additionally, the fishing spot does not move (perfect for alts) there is a summoning obelisk between the fishing spot and bank (perfect for granite lobster).
At 90 fishing you can add a little razzle dazzle and use Shark Gloves from Fist of Guthix plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigFist of Guthix
Fist of Guthix is a minigame that was released on 9th of April 2008. The game employs tactics and strategy, and offers a substantial range of rewards to players; for example, the Runecrafting gloves double the experience gained when crafting a specific type of rune. - These bad boys will provide an extra 100 exp ( essentially double XP per shark getting you to 99 fishing faster so you can take advantage of the fishing cape perk.
Preferably this is to be done on an alt: However, this will net you around 400-600k profit an hour, not to mention with 88 smithing you can smith the bars into platebodies for approximatly 2k per bar guaranteed without the need to sell to a player. This just generates cash and can help you push for 99 smithing without the need for coal. (approximatly 39k aviansies need to be killed at 5x for 99 smithing)
Starting at level 70 range and level 70 defense (ideally) and only the requirements for Troll stronghold (Ideally Edgars ruse for the teleport), it is possible to use an alt to mow down aviansies near the entrance to the Armadyl encampment. The appeal here is that with bones to peaches tabs or good strategy, it is possible to stay here forever barring supplies and collect noted addy bar drops and high alch rune daggers and limbs. I would also pick up the blood runes, and law runes. Some tips I find useful:
Fishing trawler is actually extremely good and coupled with brawlers can be lucrative exp per hour and reward you with some sexy Manta Rays and key halves. The reason we are using an alt is to alleviate some of the fixing of holes, double bailing bucket action, but more importantly, allows you to use your alt to go up the ladder to fix the net while you continue to repair holes on the bottom level.
Additionally, you are able to log out right before the game ends on your alt and receive all of the exp and fish on your main account. Normally the game will split the fish and exp between participants and there are no benefits to running this minigame in a large group. If you solo Trawler you will surely get AIDS (AKA failed rounds due to RNG, Fuck RNG when theres altscape)
Using the Dharoks Barrows set with max combat, Strength cape, piety, super attack/strength potions, max strength everything else can result in some absurd kills per second on various mobs that may be beneficial to collecting loot. To lower my HP I regularly use Aberrent specters (easy to get to with slayer ring, walk up the chain and let them lower my HP (bring nosepeg). Additionally I use the rock cake to lower my HP all the way and keep it low.
Here is a list of mobs I regularly use Dharoks on and why.
*Remember, if you are killing a monster in multi such as Tzhaar, or Nechrayels, an evil chicken random event can spawn in and clap your cheeks, nothing you can do. So do have the 5 minute gravestone.
By putting your POH in Brimhaven and running south to Tai Bwo Wannai you are able to cut Mahogany and teak logs which can be used in the construction skill. Personally used this method to get 99 woodcutting as they cut faster than yews, give similar exp, and hold their value at around 300 each. Worth cutting over yews if money and exp is your main concern.
With the latest deep wildy update, you are able to obtain brawlers from deep wildy mobs as well as Chaos elemental and Revs (which you always could before). This opens up the doors for some good ole fashioned farming. You need to risk 100k in order to have the red skull and be elligible for PVP/Brawlers drops.
I chose skeletons but the idea works in various places, you spawn the threat, and trap the threat. This works because the revs do not walk through walls or doors, only follow you up and down ladders/staircases. In single combat you can have a rev lose aggro if you are in combat and the rev will not pursue you (unless you get too close)
Once you obtain some brawlers, heres how I would plan on using them:
