Steps

1. Level
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Astrology up to
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Ameria and get Ameria to 80 mastery.
   That will give you access to 3 basic astrology bonuses and 2 unique bonuses. Use the dust you got from leveling Astrology to roll some
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Fishing bonuses in
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Ameria.
2. Level
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Fishing. Fish until you get both the skill and mastery rings. You will probably hit
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Level 99 by the time it happens. Keep diamonds. Sell anything else. Now it shouldn't be an issue to spend a million for the woodcutting two-tree upgrade, any of the fishing rods, and so on.
   • Fish Raw Magic Fish for money, or Whales if you don't have Message in a Bottle yet,
   • Redeem Skeleton Fish for
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Prayer points,
   • Fish Seahorses for "speed" if you want more drops per hour.
3. Level
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Astrology further. Equip the mastery ring and level
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Deedree to 80 or 99 mastery. In
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Ameria, roll for some
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Firemaking bonuses.
4. Level
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Woodcutting and
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Firemaking. Our goal is
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Level 99 for the Skillcape. As soon as you get Redwood Logs, save all of them. Only burn Yew Logs to get Firemaking to 99. Skip Magic Logs. This means
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   double axe-ing Redwood and Yew.
   • Level
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Summoning. Make a bunch of
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Ents for your woodcutting. Try to always have Ents going. You will get more wood and, more importantly, level summoning.
   • Level
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Farming. Open your birds nests. Start farming. Keep Strawberry Seeds for thieving potions. Keep Watermelons for
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Agility.
   • Level
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Agility. Second obstacle has a Firemaking bonus, and a third one has a wood/fire bonus. Definitely get these as you get to
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 30 and
     Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 30 for the requirements.
5. Back to
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Astrology. Level it to
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Level 99.

At this point, you have an 8% skill ring, a 5% skill cape, and a bunch of other bonuses. Jump back to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Astrology

to roll on bonuses with what you're working on.

Mining

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Smithing

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Fletching

would probably be next for the Dragon Javelin money-making method, which is one of the best in the game. That's where you will use your saved Redwood Logs.
