Skill Tips

  • Solidsocom - Hi sal, very nice site. Maybe u will post this one. Anyways, wen training on prayer, always use big bones. Easy to get and add alot more exp then normal bones. Go to the hill giants they more easy to kill and no one can fight with u and may get ur bones. O and get the brass key the first time u go thrrough so u dont hav to go through the long way. Go to edgeville and u should see the dungeon. Follo through until u find giants. And get key in the room right before giants. opens door to get in and out the easy way. plz post this sal! o ya great site
  • Darkarts1 Re - hey sal, ur site is DA COOLEST, it even beats tip.it! i go on ur site every time i need help. (o yes, the tip.) i have a great way to train magic by using wind bolt(no runecrafting involved) there is an area around the red dragon isle that has at least a dozen chaos rune respawns. (u might also want to bring a teleport spell.) just go there and pick all the chaos runes that u see. ( there might be monsters so just rune away from them. i just didnt see them.:]]) so switch worlds until u have a lot of chaos runes then purchase a wind staff and use wind bolt on anything that comes ur way!(i didnt acctually get the chance to do what i said but kim helping out fellow players including myself.) i hope this tip helped any!im out! (sal, add me if u want.)
  • Timeformime - Here is a GREAT tip for ranging. When you're level 40 ranged or so, try going up to canifis (if you haven't done the priest in peril quest, which you need to get there, use the quest guide on this awesome site). Go to the bar, then either hide behind the chairs next to the table or behind the bar. The wolves can't reach you from there, and you get more than 400 xp per wolf! This is a wonderful way to get ranging up! I got it up from level 40 to 60 in 3 days!!!
  • Brookes729 - This is for paying members only! When you are training your prayer don't be tempted to just straight bury your bones. instead after doing the "ghosts ahoy" quest grind the bones into bonemeal and get some ectoplasm and worship the Ectofuntus. This nets you four times the amount of xp. Using this i managed to gain 4 lvls from 39 to 43 in one day and it didn't cost me anything.
  • Aku Ruroni - This is also a money-making tip, but someone else already mentioned it... Mining rune essence is a great way to up your mining level. The only requirements are to complete the Rune Mysteries quest. Mining 1k ess nets you 5k xp, and if you keep mining, you'll get more and more... And it's always safe to drop it there if you don't want to keep it- then people like me who want it to sell or to make a load of runes can do so faster ;-) If you don't use it for your own purposes, it can sell for 20 coins each on any non-member world (aside from World 1) and 30 each on World 1 and probably on member worlds too.
  • SnowZak - If you are trying to get to a reasonable magic level and are around 18-25, instead of using valuable Elemental Runes, just buy an Earth Staff, Water Runes, which are only 4gp each, and body runes, which are only 1gp each... Then go to a multicombat zone (where you can fight the NPCs the other players are fighting) and cast spells like "Curse", "Weaken" or "Confuse" to get easy and cheap exp, while the other player gets all the damage...
  • Punisher9990 - A good way to grow prayer if ur combat is like 70 kill lvl 69 trolls they drop good stuff an big bones an lotsa high lvls leave tons of big bones around but watch out for the troll general rock he did 26 damage to me in 1 hit.
  • Shavital - Runecrafting: If you get to RC lvl 44 and just dying to make some natures you'll find that the nearest bank is in draynor village.Ofcourse there is a bank in the Shilo village but it is inaccessible unless you did the "Shilo village" quest.There is also an option to use a Gnome pilot but, again, if you didn't do the related quest you can't use it. Another option,is to use the general store near by.Come to karamja with all your ess in notes and bring money with ya.Go to the general store in "Tai-Bwo-Wannai" - sell 25 ess and buy them back then go to the nature alter to RC them.Repeat this drill until your ess or your money or your patience is done.
  • Kevin - For making prayer go up a lot faster than going and killing gaurds, go in the sewers noth of varrock and kill the rats! There will always be bones on the ground and rats to kill to get the bones!
  • Technoslasher - STRENGTH EXP - A fast way to get Strength Exp is to buy a rune hally (or any other you can wield) and then go to the wizard's tower and attack the caged lesser demons. You can't get hurt and you can get atleast 10k exp per hour. Great site Sal! Add me in-game Teknoslasher.
  • PinkFloydBoy - Sal, i hope this persuades u to runecraft. lol.(i'm sending this again, cuz i accidently sent the same thing twice, but if u got the other one, pay no attention to this.);)
    ok. runecrafting is really easy to do, and it helps with maging and u can make tons of money off of it.
    First of all. Mine tons of ess in varrock, and after each load of ess, store it in the bank. (i like to mine ess in loads of 25, it just comes out more even.) Second. take out the tally that u need, and just go back and forth from the nearest bank to the temple. Third. If you take about 25 ess to the temple that u watnt to craft at each time, and ur starting at lvl 1 (SAL!lol) then u'll gain about one runecrafting level each time, untill you're about level 15. At that point, you can already craft FIRE RUNES! I suggest that you use ur runes, instead of selling them, cuz by the time you can make chaos runes(members only at level 35. I'm almost there! lvl 33 runecrafting) you'd want to be able to cast spells with them, instead of haveing to buy them. NOw for the magic part of the tip. ok. once you get to level 28 runecrafting, i think, u can get three runes from each ess. get a fire staff, and mine 300 ess. craft 600 air runes, using 200 ess, and craft 300 minds using 100 ess. u'll have enough runes to cast fire strike 300 times! hope this pursuades u sal. lol. ppreciate it.
  • Davers - Hey sal, how are ya doing? Well, this is my tip: if you need to get prayer up fast, go to the chickens! their bones are as good as any normal bones, and they are an easy kill! Besides the bonus of feathers and chicken meat!
  • Stevo2909 - Hey everyone! a great place to train is the end of varock sewers. There is deadly red spiders and moss giants which drop steel items, mithril swords, runes of all kinds and money(between 0-70gp).plus a respawn of red spiders eggs(used in strength potions) and a few coin resawns! c ya l8er dudes
  • Ventures - when you are arching and cant seem to find some where to arch i found the best place possible!!!!! directly south of dwarf mines is a path were there r lv 10 dwarfes and lots of fences (a archers best friend) and they drop gems and runes like natures and chaos
  • Sumo9113 - Great site sal, anyway, I have a wonderful prayer-level-training area. In the Wilderness, Level 12, is a Chaos Altar on a pennunisla. Tons of bones respawn there on the ground. Have fun!
  • Outlawed13 - stay in teh combat area and raise ur archer lv up to 3 because there is infanite ammo as long as u keep talkign to the combat in structor same goes for the wizard.
  • Xia0jing - hey, first tip here, about training ur str/attk/def,prayer, fishing and cooking...firstly, go to chicken farm and start to kill chickens, get their bones, bury it...get feathers fer fishing...the fish that u fished, cook it and later go train on sth difficult and when ur injured, u can eat the food that u cooked...wished my tip was useful =)
  • Addy_man44 - A great way for people new on RuneScape to gain fighting experience and make money. Go to the Barbarien Village. Once there, keep going north. You should see a bank. Keep going north until you come to a barn filled with men. (Hint: Try to go to the barn on a user with few people.) Kill the men there. They usually drop coins and sometimes items up to Chaos Runes. Remember to bury the bones! (By the way, great site Sal! Use it everyday:)
  • Jense - If you're a free player, get your RC (runecrafting) up to 20 and make lots of body runes, sell these in general stores, you can also go into wildy where moss giants are, chaos runes respawn there every now and then an where lesser demons are you can get nature runes (with a little magic)
  • Ruinned the Cool One B) - When you first start out on rs then you should start out training first to become stronger.
    Click on the double sword and then the 2nd battle option. (this will train your strength which you'll be needing alot to fight). Train on goblins first and if you start to die..uh run!
    Once you get around lvl 40 strength you can train other junk with the other sword options. (Defence probably would be best). Also the best thing about this you should get to a high combat lvl then you can pk (pack kill) some booty at the wild and gain some wicked items, armour, food, and coins from people your lvl by killing them. =)
  • Mvp 5 - if you are going to train and have no food just take three items with u and when u die u wont lose anything (just bones lol)
  • Survivalist6 - this is a way to get your magic up a make money! go to dark warriors castle with anykind of staff,any kind of robes and ammy of magic. take lots of food for the dark warriors and pkers. runes respawn there and chaos does too! get magic up by training on the warriors or sell the chaos 24gp each to rune shops (not recommended) or to players in large amounts 100gp each
  • Magic is Kol - gooday mages (and fellow runecape players)! Here's a tip for fast and easy pure mage pker! (if u have another good account) make a new guy and train its magic to level 4 with the runes u get for free at first.Then, do the imp catcher and witch's potion quests which help ur magic stat. It should make ur magic go to 11. Then u make tons of air and mind and buy earth and fire staffs. Train with earth strike till u are 13 magic and go to wildy. Use ur powerful fire strike to send the noobs away and get some good loot!!
  • Booksrock3 - once ur in the champs guild kill chickens for bones and feathers then sell the feathers (or fish)and bury the bones i got 5 prayer lvls and 3k from doing this
  • Da_Monster - if ur a bit slow at getting ur prayer up den dis tip is for u! first of all go north of varrok where of course you'll find wildy, but don't go into the wildy. instead go west and keep going untill u come to a place called edgeville. go to the bank and then head south of it where you'll come to a ruin of a building go inside and go down the trap door. follow the path right to the end where you will find lvl 28 giants. kill them and take the big bones and keep burying them! :)
  • Diesel - Best way to get yoru attack lvl up when on a lower lvl is to kill cows and when on medium lvl guards. Then when on high lvls kill what ever u want!!!
  • Joshpow - Do not use a controled attack if ur training, if a guy uses any other attack he will have that stat quicker and therefore get others quicker
  • Raven909 - if your reletivley high lvl (50 ) a gr8 place to train is the cave on karamja. u can use the fishing spots on the island to fish lobsters to heal yourself and the lesser demons(lvl 82) in the cave drop up to rune medium helmets. dont worry about the demons being higher lvl, they are like lvl 82 rs characters but with no weapons or armour.
  • Gatesentinel - A really good place to train your magic level is upstairs in the white knights castle. There is a table on the east side, and if you use magic on a white knight on the other side of the table, he wont be able to attack you.
  • Chilama4 - hey, ive found at that if u wanna train really high in ure combat its best that u go either to varrock when ure around lvl 30 combat and kill lvl 21 gaurds
  • Jimbo248 - A good way to get both combat and crafting up if you are not a member and have a low level is to kill cows, take the hides and craft leather.
  • Spartan12 - i am a fellow runescaper and i found the best place to get mage up for members is either hiding behind the fence and takin out heros or at the place with the wolfmen hide behind the bar
  • Servant of Zamorak - Alright if u want awesome xp, go to the al-kharid guards palace and attack them. If someone else is attakin they team up. U can get like 2k xp in an hour if u work well.
  • Black Echo58 - Once you get to range level 40 giants are really good to train on. They can be found in the deep part of the edgeville dungeon. I raised my range from 40 to 50 in 1 day there.
  • David - Nature Runecrafting: there are other methods that work well too. You can also you the second Gnome pilot to the east of the Nature altar. You can also telp (using Glory Ammy; Ring of Duelling - telp to Al Kharid; or telp to Lumby) if you've got telp resources to burn. The other runecrafting tip that works for all runecrafting is to get a bunch of runecrafters together and taxi together (one person leads, others follow). Less work for all and you have company on your boring trips.
  • Sup - if u want to be a good str pker do wat i tell u. if ur just starting (lvl 3) fight spiders lvl 2 at north east of al kharid use str only!! dont forget to close door! train ur str up to 15 and train ur att up to 5 try using the best weapon at its type (bronze, iron, etc.) then train ur str u to 30 (on man lvl 9) then train ur att up to 10 by that time u'll be able to use b2h and train on warriors in al kharid by that time ur lvl about 18 when ur str is about 40 train on guards. when ur combat is about 44 the go to wild and kick some ass!
  • Vince Hahn - Faster Prayer Level: Big bones from giants do give higher experience points per set buried, but it takes time as the giants take a while to regenerate. Just west of Port Sarim there is a place, identifiable by a brown ditch that goes from Port Sarim To Rimmington, where there is an abundance of goblins. Often there are people of lower combat levels that are just trying to kill the goblins for fighting exp points, and more often than not will leave the bones. I've found that a plethora of these bones becomes a much easier and faster means of building up prayer points
  • Raptor694 - if you want to train ranging try to fight in the sewers east of the palace go to the skeltons with the shields and sword and sometimes they drop 2 law runes and you get exp too!
  • Pantooy - A good place to train if your between 5-15 combat is the barbarin village
  • Archerking59 - a good place 2 train ranging in varrok bar get behind table neer barman and attack man and women for easy xp
  • Jonno Wassup - If u want good training spot when your lvl 60 and fishing lvl 35 i suggest go to Karamja and kill lesser demons ( lvl 82). but bring fishing stuff with u, since u need food to last long enough down at the lessers. Just be careful don't die, lessers hits 8s on rune armor.
    WASSUP WASSUP WASSUP
  • Bob f it - A good npc for training combat is count draynor (downstairs in draynor manor) as he will never drop! For long sessions with him take a good amount of food.
  • Gingersinner - RANGERS- complete the priest in peril quest and go to the bar in wolf village go behind the bar and shoot the wolfmen and they drop valuable stuff you can also attempt this if you are a mage or a very high leveled warrior
  • Laidas - Hey, i'm a first-time poster, and my tip goes like this:
    If you're not very high combat, and want quick exp, go to the Edgeville dungeon and kill zombies lvl 18, that way you get around 20k exp in 1 hour! And the main thing is, there's nobody there, cos all the people go to giants..
  • Bob f it - Avoid practicing archery on ducks - you'll lose your arrows.
  • Ictoad - For mages: if you don't already have an elemental shield, make sure that you at least get an anti-dragon breath one, it gives you magic defense!
    • Good places to train for combat:
      End of Varrok sewers (moss giants)
      Ice cave (hobgoblins, ice warriors, ice giants)
      Karamja Volcano (lesser demons-lots of them!)
      Edgeville dungeon (hobgoblins, skeleton warriors, giants)
      Black knight castle (self-explanatory)
  • sketchy1991 - ok you high lvls out there. Say you want fast training (this requires dragons slayer) go all the way to Crandor isle and fight the lvl 45 skeletons for a while and that's the fastest way to gain levels believe me i started there at lvl 63 1 day ago I'm lvl 73 now.
    *oh yeah never download any auto programs they can steal your account and hack into your computer.
  • Dark Light A - If you want to raise your prayer level go to the goblin village by Falador to kill goblins endlessly and bury their bones! Death to the goblins!!!!!
  • Moose - If you are a ranger (bow wielding), stand behind a fence and attack the enemy.  They will try to attack you but the fence is in the way so you won't get hurt.
  • 1800151100 - Make a new user. Go to Varrock dummies and start to hit them. After you are lvl 8 attack, it says you are too high to do it. So, get lots of wine and drink 1 at a time, so that your attack lvl is under 5 or so. Keep hitting this dummy until you are attack lvl 40! Voila! You have a combat lvl 14 person who can wear a Rune 2 Hander! Now train strength.
  • Lord Guzman - How easy it is to kill a dragon by ranging first get some throwing knives and then put some poison on them. Next get arrows and dip them in poison it'll be much faster and quicker to kill a dragon.
