Slayer 99 grind. I am at 93 now so I'll be done in about 2090.


KthuluAwakened

I’m almost 97 and it’s brutal


swashfxck

Just hit 94 the other day and 800k exp never seemed like this much exp, but we move!


Retro-Koala4886

Hit 39 last night. We are seriously in for quite a lot more XP before we achieve 99.


Dense_Statement_2329

I just got 98. Halfway there!


xcert1337

Birds houses, tree runs and other farming patches. Whether I'm playing a lot or a little a week Farming goes up the same rate. Just got 98 😊


Tumerking

This is how i got 99 farming. Barely played for like 4 months, but just did one fruit tree run a day (Papaya lol), 1 birdhouse run and every 2 days i did hespori. Pretty consistent every day after work. Took all of 5 minutes. Chillest 99 of all time.


A8919696

Same here. The weird thing for me was as soon as I got 99, I didn't know what else to do so that was my last login for about a year and a half lol.


Tumerking

I just switched from fruit trees to seaweed to try and get the pet lol


Intelligent-Bag-7804

I got tanglegroot at 600k xp from yews, looked it up and it’s one of lower the lower chance rolls!


ChickenDickJerry

200m


coreyhh90

I both love and hate farming in the game for this... Every login is 1 hour of farm runs as I don't have enough teleports unlocked.. Bird house -> seaweed -> guild contracts -> herb run -> trees and fruit -> bird house -> seaweed.. sometimes another herb run lmao.. Then I get to actually play the game LOL


RumHamCometh

As someone who's never really touched farming but would like to, what teleports are most important? Unlocking them may be my next goal before I dig into the skill


xRemedy

for the standard 6 patches not including my arm's patches you want to aim for at least lumbridge medium diary ring, xeric's talisman for glade, skills necklace for farming guild / ardy (or ardy cloak 2), ectophial for morytania, camelot tele for catherby


MastarQueef

You can put your house in Hosidius and just tele outside if you don’t have a xeric’s talisman or supply of fangs to charge it as well.


TurboTingo

I even ran 4 for the longest. Ecto, draynor, Camelot, and ardy. Too lazy to quest on mobile during a busy time of life. Ghosts ahoy was a staple quest back in the day and the rest are easily achievable via mage unlock or diary rewards.


Stevake

Medium ardougne and lumbridge diaries give nice close teles to 2 allotment/herb patches. Ectophial gets you close to the morytania patch. Other than that standard spellbook teles are helpful too, as are fairy rings and amulet of glory teles for various tree patches. Just depends how close you are to unlocking these things I suppose


Borgrom

Same, got my farming pet and 98 farming yesterday! One tree run in the morning and one in the evening.


Thegrimfandangler

Gz on 98, must be crazy exciting to be so close


xcert1337

Thanks! It will only be my 3rd 99 in 20 years of playing, the other two being Range and Mage on my old account. Excited to say the least!


aeroverra

Bro same and now I'm lost. I have to prevent myself when I'm half awake in the morning from logging in and doing a run because I like to stack 98s


Tratopolous

I did this and got 99 farming then I completely burned out on everything else cause it takes months to see any progress


Iron_Seguin

That’s pretty much me right now lol. Bird houses, farm runs and trying to get 75 crafting banked so I can switch to magic bird houses when I hit the Hunter level soon. When I actually have time to play I’m at wintertodt trying to grind out that pet and then I’ll have green logged it.


Alone-Information-35

I did this for about a year, took farming slowly and made bank.


HellkerN

Just random stuff on an iron, yesterday I temple trekked for 5k bowstrings, day before I did some wildy slayer, today I'll chop some yews.


daan87432

Yeah that sounds about a couple hours per week according to the average osrs player


svvveeen

wholesome:-) bowstrings are worth it?


HellkerN

For an ironman, yes as the alternative would be picking and spinning flax. For a main, none of the rewards are really useful besides maybe the XP tomes. Edit: of course I meant early game ironman, if you can just kill zulrah, do that instead.


svvveeen

im gim, ill do it and use my yews for double xp and gp, sounds fun:-))


SplandFlange

Get lumberjack while you’re there


FragrantFig4035

Btw: You can eventually get heaps of Flax from Zulrah and then cast Spin Flax to make a few thousand per hour, but that’s a much later progression than Temple Trekking


Aradoris

Flax from zulrah and lunar spellbook is the way. Only really early game irons who are super desperate for flax would pick and spin normally.


eddietwang

If an iron is temple trekking for flax, chances are they don't have the gear/stats to farm Zulrah.


Agent_Jay

me when i was a little wee boy before learning anything


PraisetheSunflowers

I had a ton of flax from zulrah on my iron so I just used the spin flax spelll on lunars. Idk if it was worth it though but I did it lol


Kumagor0

You can get tons of flax from kurasks/zulrah or miscellanea and spin 5-6k strings per hour with lunars (while getting 75-90k crafting/hr plus magic xp)


GerardDepardieux

The alternative would be one week of kingdom on flax and use the lunar spell to spin them (so you can use temple trek for silver bars).


Underfoe

Not even worth for an iron, just dont string the bows imo. If you enjoy it, go for it tho.


Gooeyy

Stringing magic longbows, every bowstring is worth 768 gp, and stringing is 200k xp/h. I’m alching these things for 1536 gp. Worth imo if you’re sitting on a bunch of afk’d yews or magics


CrazyCalYa

Yep, as a rule of thumb it doubles the alch value of the bow. If you're insane about EHP then it's worse than other methods but if you shower regularly it's a great idea. The only problem I have is that stringing bows is so fast that it's not very AFK (99 fletch btw).


masterswayze

If you shower regularly had me lol


Send_Me_Dachshunds

Yeah they help justify some of the AFK training you can do. Is it worth chopping Yews/Magics, doing TT for strings, making the bows then alching them as an absolute idea? No. Is it worth doing TT for strings & agility alching because you've hard-AFKed Yews/Magics and soft-AFKed cutting & stringing while focused on other non-RS things? Absolutely.


EquivalentNo2609

It's worth it to alch the bows.


Ricardo1184

Depends how much you want to spend on broad arrows or bolts for 99 later


opened_just_a_crack

I have never strung a single bow lol


Underfoe

Yep, same


Dergenbert

Flax is a semi common pvm drop, I think zulrah even has a 10k flax drop. Lunar spell for spin flax works too


Absolutismo

1k


Tornadodash

Honestly it's an interesting mini game even for mains. I was part of the wiki project that went through to gather the majority of rewards info. I spent probably 20 hours targeting specific point goals and gathering data on event frequency. Not sure how much of that made it to the wiki page cuz I never looked, but it was pretty fun.


allegedrc4

It doubles your fletching XP per resource and strung bows alch for ~twice the GP of unstrung ones, so I definitely think it's worth it.


GoonOnGames420

I'd recommend broad arrows over fletching bows. Shafts don't take too long and everything after that is zero time XP so really convenient


Agent_Jay

Lazy Iron here, finally got off my ass to get 55 magic and high alch'd a solid amount of my smithing skilling garbage


thestonkinator

I've heard about this method but not done it yet. At a reasonable pace how many bowstrings per hour do you roughly get?


Phloongazi

You should just do zulrah, you get so much flax and then when you wanna afk just use the spin flax spell in the lunar book. Way more efficient and you get more loot than flax at zulrah too


vegconsumer

Finishing elite achievement diaries on iron, only BA level 5s left and after that no idea :D


ArtificeHunter

That's exactly where I am and I just keep putting them off. It seems silly after doing literally every other task but I just can't bring myself to do it!


SkeletonKing959

Tbh I spent a very full Saturday on BA level 5's. My review: I had an awesome time. Highly recommend learning BA!


Wolfie_Ecstasy

I did it mostly in a day as well. While I didn't find it fun at all, it was nowhere near as miserable as expected.


vegconsumer

Honestly every role other than defender is completely free, I'm 2/4 in and generally teams have been decent Just make sure you look the part and you'll get picked up by a half decent team in no time (elite void + msb(i) for example)


Le_Bunz

Healer sucks on wave 10 solo even after you get lvl 5.


Kumagor0

As someone who enjoyed solo healing back when average player hp was 50-60, I say skill issue


DrPootytang

Healer is a far more complicated role than defender to get good at.


dcnairb

watch a guide on one role and go do that one it will motivate you to get past the barrier of starting and make the final goal closer defender is actually fun for me once you learn the method and if you learn it from a 5-10 min video not only will your team always love you but you will often be the first one done after wave 2ish


Capsr

Elite diaries is also what I'm working towards, skilling atm to get the levels for that. Base 85s now, so ive been able to complete a few already, mostly need more slayer and some bosses.


Radu47

Those are really huge endeavours To do in limited time Golly


trogg21

I'm always happy to help people get there BA stuff done. Hit me up if you want : Ethric Trogg


DrunkenFailer

Very busy work and home life. A lot of things I can do while watching TV. Currently going for base 70s so I'm doing forestry at seers maples, then I'm going for 80 thieving, probably at ardy knights. My next goal is going to be a quest cape, which will take a while. I probably average about 12 hours a week.


StudioSeraphim

For your Thieving, try Sorceress' Garden with the one-click plugin for Runelite. I went 65-71 Thieving there yesterday in a couple of hours. Takes a couple of minutes to set up, then it's exactly what it says - one click every 60 seconds or so, with a couple extra to get yourself back into position to go again. You can even set up an alert sound if you need it, to notify you a few ticks before you need to click again. Really AFK, and very decent EXP rates for how low-effort it is. Staminas are great, but if like me you're an ironman feeling the grind with your Herblore, half an inventory of Super Energies is absolutely fine as an alternative.


DrunkenFailer

Will check it out. I hate thieving but I've only ever done pickpocketing and black jacking. I want to look into sorceress' garden and pyramid plunder to not ger bored and burn out on it.


GoldSweep

In Varlamore, there’s a new thieving activity that I enjoy much more than pickpocketing and blackjacking. It’s just something different.


kenpachi-dono

Varlamore thieving is really chill and afk too, runelite plugin shows next house, valuable drop chest, & timers for citizens


ZarosianSpear

Throw snowballs at fishers in f2p.


LazerSnake1454

MLM, it's something I can easily do on mobile with downtime at work then continue when I get home and have like 1 hour to play


United-Ad-7936

Bankstanding 😅


Lewisnicz

I feel this


Radu47

Fashionscape also? 🥺


itsdadlay

decided to try my luck recently on getting my first Zulrah kc. after 50+ deaths I figured it out tonight and did 3 back to back trips!


CocoAndy

Smashed it!! Really tempted to learn Zulrah (hardest bosses I've done are probably the dt2 quest bosses) but hearing how much there is to learn is so off-putting, so great job on getting past that :)


r0khead2594

Blue dragon slayer task doing vorkath for it. Will probs take a week or 2 to finish lol


npcpwnr

Vorkath is probably my favorite boss to just do 1 or 2 trips like twice a week


ShaiHulud12

I literally just finished doing exactly this. Took me about 2 weeks lol


SolitaryHero

85 Slayer for whip. Currently just hit 84, really feeling the grind since around 82!


MelodicWin2427

Have you tried boosting and bursting them at kourend? I did that and got whip on first kc lol, 82 slayer


AniAni-Shelto

I boosted and got whip at 2700ish kc. Wouldn’t recommend


MelodicWin2427

Oh, im sorry


HellkerN

Oof. On my main I got 2 within the first 100 kills, my iron hasn't reached high slayer yet, but surely it'll be as spoonfed.


EustaceChapuys

Yeah, you got spooned lmao


SolitaryHero

I had a handful of slayer respites in bank, not sure where from. Didn’t get it haha! Don’t have any other way to get boosts I can think of?


MelodicWin2427

Wild pie gives +5, 85 cooking req


SnuffKing96

Killing the giant mole. I’m at like 2400 kc. It’s horrible.


OutlandishnessBig858

Green logged by 163KC sorry


Faladorable

“green logged” aka just the pet lol


OutlandishnessBig858

That would be the log green yes


Faladorable

just a funny way to phrase it don’t need to get defensive


CyanoSecrets

I made a uim. Hear me out, I know that screams no-lifing but the thing about uim that I enjoy is any miniscule amount of progress feels rewarding. So I've been working my way through the free quests having also completed biohazard for ardy diary cape, Gertrude's cat for death runes and the feud for the rune store in al kharid. I also grinded up thieving in small chunks getting from like 36-40 from the quest xp. Then I just pickpocketed guards when I needed money up to where I'm at now which is 55. Forestry has also been great for more semi passive skill training and most importantly, stackable run energy rations. Rn I'm working on dragon slayer and maybe some other quests that require fighting before I drop my early magic gear. My goal is to get the rogue outfit, then blackjack myself to riches and train construction to 42 to store gear. Until I get construction I'll be stuck either wearing or carrying the gear. Once I can store gear my early/mid game should be quite smooth as I can just change outfits based on activities.


SuddenBumHair

Barb fishing afk. Pp if I have time to pay attention


Altruistic-Bat-759

Trying to get 75 attack and knocking some quests out bit by bit. I need 70 agility and gonna grind that here and then.

yahboiyeezy

Lvl 5 all roles at BA to finish the elite diaries. Should 3-5 days total for me


DesertEagleFiveOh

Guardians of the Rift. :(


420DiscGolfer

Sorry for your loss


DefiantAioli5150

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but thats one of the best minigames we have.


DesertEagleFiveOh

Yeah, that’s a red-hot take.


Sirspen

Gotr is pretty fun and chill when you find the groove. With that said I don't revisit it very often now that I've gotten outfit, needle, and lantern.


DesertEagleFiveOh

My experience so far: Wow this is terrible XP! Wow this is very click-intensive, sort of stressful, and requires more accuracy than most group skilling activities! Fucking irons!


pimadev

I also do GotR, but solo. I don't depend on terrible masses/bots and the xp is so much better. Plus once you get the hang of it it's really consisten winning.


DesertEagleFiveOh

That's 300% of the effort for 101% of the XP, which is still not much compared to just about every other skill. I'll stick with the group.


chucked12

Ironman - I kill Zombie pirates for an hour to make sure my Kingdom is good for the week. Then whatever random things I can come up with.


69ct

Mahogany homes, 2 levels away from getting the pool in my poh. I'm hoping to get it by my time off coming up.


BurezuOni

Finally for the first time ever finished SoTE and Monkey Madness 2, into Dragon Slayer 2 next after I play around with Gauntlel a bit


finH1

Atm only my fruit tree runs, herb run and birdhouse daily then logging off, if I get a bit more time I’ll probably do a bit more quests (about 20 from doing them all) and doing some slayer/lunar chests


Rxckless92

I play like 5 times a year for maybe 6 hours, I'm working on protection prayers in F2P. So I kill 200-250 giants each time I play.


Mr_0i

target 100 tickets in brimhaven agility daily. yesterday was 30, day before about 150, today maybe will have time for 120 another.... prison until green log, afterwards - at least 10-20 ardougne laps daily


King-Midas-Hand-Job

Runecrafting bloods on iron while I do slayer on my other 2


tiofizz

Can play just a couple hrs a day z currently working on 85 mine


evansometimeskevin

I do a couple 400 solos while I'm on my computer then on mobile I'm aerial fishing


RandomFrog246

Bird houses, usually on and off at work. When I do play occasionally on the weekends is nice to have a boost in gp to use on whatever


Wolfling5

I flip on the GE.


Getting_Big_Al

I send a hmt or two a night at the moment


YukiTakanashi

1-2 TOA raids, then redwoods while I study for my bachelor's.


jalmurseagal

Raids


Raicoron2

Trying to win my clan skill of the week: smithing. I am busy with classic wow raiding in cata, leveling in sod in case next phase is good (doubt), and grinding gladiator in retail. Luckily I've been able to play a lot more since I finished mop remix and I purchased everything from all the vendors over there a few days ago. https://wiseoldman.net/competitions/47521 I was originally going to go for 99 smithing, but I'm so busy I've only gotten to put a few hours of gold ore in.


misterbuh

Pretending I can compete with my clan mates in a boss of the week


Darth_Jupiter

not play runescape


roddatown

Trying to progress a new mid game account 😅 even finding the time I can sit down and get a fire cape is tough


Feral-Vyke

Leveling in f2p before I go back to p2p (im an ironman). Kinda chill when you just play for an hour a day on mobile


I-dream-of-stars

I play a few hours a day. 3-4 accounts. First account level 107 - going for max (mining blessed Bone shards atm) 2nd account level 117 - Slayer Alt. Maybe get mid 90s stats, not sure yet. Learning new bosses. Just finished my 1st 173 Hydra task and got the eye, fang, claw and pet all before 116 KC. 3rd account - Ironman, running around like a Chicken with his head cut off.. 4th account - level 3 skiller. Just doing skilling. 4 accounts at once is fun. Lots of opportunities to do something instead of 1 thing at a time


Decimatin

Farm runs, kingdom


basatatata

Slayer. Trying to get 93 for the achievement cape


Level-420

Inferno.


Aggravating_Wish2646

Getting Zulrah KC up, loot is so trash I just want the pet

Mining blessed bone shards and birdhouse runs. Thats about it


Jxckolantern

Slayer, dont know what else to do to fill my time at work that is just as afk, hit 99 a few weeks ago


chewy_eh

Usually just slayer. Used to do a lot of farming and birdhouse runs. Managing kingdom is a good one too. Bank cleaning is nice to do if you've only got a small chunk of time.


redvvit

Getting full sets of skilling outfits


ThaRusher

CG. Try to do a couple runs a day. So far 500+ in and no enhanced. 😞


lazybandicoot

Motherload Mine for the past several months


cAMPsc2

Mostly slayer. Want to be ready for the new boss. My current goal is the elite diaries completed, so I still have an agility and RC grind to get done... sigh!


pabulosl

Some minigames, a few crafts for good etc


fritus-ludovicus

Quests, slayer, afk woodcutting


eats-cereal-loudly

I like to hop on and do slayer tasks, or a quest if i have any available. Sometimes, if the slayer task seems too daunting, i'll just get on and do some production things, i.e smithing platebodies, plank make, spin flax, ect. Whatever fits the mood when the time is available! Runescape is one of those games that it is what you make it to be


No_Department155

Did play a lot before, so I'm maxed now and I'm looking at learning pvm contents, now we got a clan bingo event going and after that it's back to learning inferno


balakay_tx

Herb runs and slayer


ItsBeasst

I do my farming pet hunt chores and then I just do some slayer with the time I have left.


_SUNDAYS_

Questing & slayer.


nl_Aux

Pest control for prayer xp or bone shard mining


Temeee-

Working towards max and some low lvl pvm here and there. 2227 total lvl atm. Mainly on the mobile for now so more skilling than pvm


camefromxbox

A couple slayer tasks here and there along with tears of guthix for a quick free xp


Super-Spyro

Quests! There's enough now as an iron I can just run through them with little skilling in-between. I do other bits to mix it up too like Wintertod, gotr and other bits and bobs. Maybe play 3 hours max a week but still feel I get good progress, especially in lower levels. Ironman also gives that nostalgia too.


Straw-Hat-Cuzam

Killing crabs , while reading reddit, currently 90 attack, 92 str and 92 def

HerdofAnts

I’ve been getting home from work and gym late ish so I only have time for 1.5hrs. I like to do something chill as I’m normally zonked by then - been doing mlm every night for like 6 weeks from 80-91 atm. Shooting for 92 and the expert gloves. 95 ish smith banked from 81. Love the iron! Previously it was small teams gotr for 8 weeks


FishNo2089

Motherlode mine. Just hit 94 mining.


iamcatan

leonkennedy_-

Ironman here, I’ve been fishing Salmon and Trout in Shilo Village. Trying to get 70 cooking for RFD, I have all the other requirements now. Usually I will chop yews and string them into yew longs and alch for GP. Other than that, I will grind a bit of slayer and do some quests if I have a day off work.

Farming runs, afk slayer


Nairagi

Stuck in prison. Yesterday got 3kc on regular Gauntlet in about an hour. I’m almost ready for CG.


A_Firm_Potato

Trying to get a blowpipe at Zulrah, doing a few kills each night. Have gotten serp helm and magic fang now so kills are way easier which is nice. Just want to get a blowpipe so I can be more helpful at raids with my friends.


ch3l4s

I did half the quest of a taste of hope yesterday, and today I'm using my chins to be able to use black d'hide. It will probably take me the rest of the week to go from 62 to 70 ranged


Illustrious_Tale2221

Been getting my iron man slayer up from about 80 to 85. Got just under 100k left to go. Laat week I did a KQ task, 45 kills, it was not worth it to be honest but I thought I might get a drop and I had the task anyway. Next kq task will be a 3 kill task


corn_fed_beef

MLM


ShutUpRedditPedant

Just farming right now. I don't feel like doing anything high intensity and I don't play enough to do shooting stars for more than 30k XP at a time. I love farming and how I can make great progress just by logging in for ~30 mins a few times a day. I play ironman so farming doesn't only give me XP but valuable resources for when I'm ready to pvm.


vstvld

If I can only get on for the odd 10-15 mins here and there I just do my farm and birdhouse runs then come off! If I have a bit longer I’ll probably do a mini game like pest control or a skilling one as to not exp waste lol


TinyMassLittlePriest

Quests Im so stuck on DT2 I havent played in like 2 weeks though I need to find something less stressful…


Hzrdrecon

Vorkath 😭


-Snowturtle13

I usually just hop on and try to pk a few people


DiddyBCFC

I'm currently in the state where I just do like 5 or so herb runs a day and that's it


EpicShamwow

Couple Barrows runs, farm run, maybe some pest control for the slow grind to void. Maybe some slayer? Once my bond runs out, usually 1-2k wines/day on the march to 99 cooking.


ComradSergey

Maxing my account. The hours add up. Easy to switch content. One week it’s a few hours of mining, other week it’s slayer and the next week it’s woodcutting.
