What to level first: Difference between revisions

#* Open any {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}}, plant the seeds you're able to in {{Skill|Farming}}, and sell any seeds you're not able to plant. If able, always use {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} (by combining 2 {{ItemIcon|Compost}} with 10 {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} in the {{Icon|Shop}}) when planting seeds as this guarantees their growth.

#** Farming works passively while you're doing something else, so harvesting crops/herb/trees and planting new ones as soon as they're available is the best strategy.

#* Once at least 1 batch of Tablets of the appropriate Mark has been crafted, you have enabled finding additional Marks of that type even when the Tablets aren't equipped or present in your Bank. However, the drop chance for Marks is higher when respective Tablet(s) are equipped.

#* We want to prepare unlocking the {{ItemIcon|Ent}} half of the synergy now, so that it is immediately ready while we're training Fishing later. Having a synergy active further improves Summoning XP gained per action.

# If not already {{SkillReq|Summoning|15}}, train {{Skill|Summoning}} until {{SkillReq|Summoning|15}}. You can train Summoning by either:

# Train {{Skill|Fishing}} until you receive one Mark of the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}}.

# Train {{Skill|Fishing}} with both {{ItemIcon|Ent}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} equipped until {{SkillReq|Summoning|25}}

#* Equipping both prepares you for the likely chance that you accumulate enough Marks of the Octopus to enable the Ent/Octopus synergy, enabling even faster Summoning XP gains

# Train {{Skill|Cooking}} until you find a total of six Mark of the {{ItemIcon|Pig}}.

#* As Mark drop rates don't scale with action time, it is recommended to cook something with a fast cooking time, e.g. {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} .

# Train {{Skill|Fishing}} with {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and {{ItemIcon|Pig}} equipped until both the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} have been acquired.

#* It is likely that {{SkillReq|Fishing|99}} will have been reached by the time this happens due to the rarity of these rings.

#* Like with Woodcutting's Axe upgrades, [[Fishing#Fishing Rods|Fishing Rods]] also provide a significant decrease to catch time and should be purchased as soon as they become available.

#* Consume any {{ItemIcon|Mastery Token (Fishing)|Mastery Tokens}} acquired to increase your {{Icon|Mastery|Mastery Pool}}, as long as you don't cap your pool.

#* Keep any {{ItemIcon|Diamond|Diamonds}} gained along the way as these are required for a number of highly desirable things later, notably {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}} and the [[Agility#Obstacles|Ice Jump]] {{Skill|Agility}} obstacle.

#* Sell everything that isn't a rare special drop acquired while Fishing, which should provide enough {{Icon|GP}} to fund fishing rod upgrades

#** Special drops can be seen on [[Fishing#Special|Fishing Specials]], other notable drops include {{ItemIcon|Circlet of Rhaelyx}}

#** Below {{SkillReq|Fishing|99}}:

#*** See [[Fishing/Training|Fishing Training]]. Your fish selection should always be the highest XP/h fish.

#** {{SkillReq|Fishing|99}} with [[Fishing Skillcape]] unlocked (requiring {{SkillReq|Fishing|99}} and costing 1M [[Currency#Gold Pieces|GP]]):

#*** {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish|Magic Fish}} are generally not recommended if using Summoning. If you're ''not'' using Summoning, they are technically worth approximately [[Money Making#Fishing (Max  4,421k/hr)|1% more]] GP/h than Whales, which makes Magic Fish require the least amount of setup to be effective for GP. However {{ItemIcon|Raw Whale|Whales}} seriously outweigh Magic Fish in flexibility in other uses in the game, as well as severely outvaluing the GP/h when Whales are used with the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}}/{{ItemIcon|Pig}} synergy.

#** For maximum special drops, once {{ItemIcon|Message in a Bottle}} is acquired: ('''Only suggested if stacked on cooked fish and GP'''):

#**# For the most special rolls per hour: {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse|Seahorses}}

#**#* Fastest catch speed in this area, which maximizes the chance of acquiring both rings

#**# For prayer points: {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish|Skeleton Fish}}

#**#* Can be redeemed for 3 {{Skill|Prayer}} points each, but can not be cooked

#**# {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish|Magic Fish}} is not recommended for special drops, as their catch rate is the one of the slowest in the base game, with {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish|Skeleton Fish}} having an almost 100% increased rate of special catches per hour in comparison.

#** Higher total {{Icon|Mastery}} levels across all items and all skills increase the rate at which you obtain certain rare items, so your first goal when hitting above 95% Pool in any skill should be to level as many items as possible as high as possible.

# Train {{Skill|Astrology}} further. Equip the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} and study {{Icon|Deedree|type=constellation}} until level 80 {{Icon|Mastery}}.

#* Open any {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} dropped for seeds, then plant those you can in {{Skill|Farming}}. Don't forget to buy new Farming plots when available.

#** Keep all {{ItemIcon|Strawberry Seeds}} for {{ItemIcon|Gentle Hands Potion|Gentle Hands Potions}} used in {{Skill|Thieving}}, and keep 3000x {{ItemIcon|Watermelons}} for {{Skill|Agility}}.

#* Manually lighting bonfires is ''not'' recommended

# Train {{Skill|Agility}} until {{SkillReq|Agility|10}} is reached. This will allow the Monkey Bars [[Agility#Obstacles|Agility obstacle]] to be created, providing a 4% decrease to the Firemaking interval

# Continue training {{Skill|Woodcutting}} and {{Skill|Firemaking}} until {{SkillReq|Firemaking|99}}

#* Having {{ItemIcon|Ent}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} equipped will increase the number of {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} dropped and continue to grant you more summoning XP.

#* Once again, keep planting seeds awarded from [[Bird Nest]]s and keep the ones noted in the first {{Skill|Woodcutting}} section.

#* Skip cutting {{ItemIcon|Magic Logs|Magic Trees}} due to the long cut time

#** This means using {{UpgradeIcon|Multi-Tree}} to simultaneously cut {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs|Redwood}} and {{ItemIcon|Yew Logs|Yew}} logs.

#* Save any {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs}} gained as these should be turned into {{ItemIcon|Dragon Javelin|Dragon Javelins}} later, burning only up to and including {{ItemIcon|Yew Logs}} to achieve {{SkillReq|Firemaking|99}}.

#** Lighting bonfires automatically by using {{ItemIcon|Controlled Heat Potion}}s is highly recommended if you are able to reach {{SkillReq|Herblore|20}} by creating only {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion|Bird Nest Potions}}, requiring {{ItemIcon|Garum Herb|Garum Herbs}} from {{Skill|Farming}} and {{ItemIcon|Potato Seeds}} from {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} to create.

# Purchase and equip the {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}}

# Train {{Skill|Astrology}} once more, this time until {{SkillReq|Astrology|99}} is reached in order to unlock many more bonuses. Purchase any modifiers as you see fit, however try not to spend too much dust until all constellations are {{Icon|Mastery}} level 99, at which point all modifiers will be unlocked.

The choices on what path to take next start to open up, some suggestions are:
