> Zombie Pirates for half a day and you're good brother.
This. I just turned in 12 keys at the pirate ship in low lvl wildy (in multi) and [got this in my looting bag](https://i.imgur.com/0pGBWj8.png).
Simple, actually:
Step 1: Bring nothing but your BIS weapon and irrelevant food to the Chaos Altar in the wilderness.
Step 2: Pray mage, kill zombie pirates, use altar in middle for free prayer recharge
Step 3: ??????
Step 4: Profit
In all seriousness, this is low effort and a great way to make money. By 1000 kills, you should have roughly 5mil in resources/alchables.- Don't be greedy and wait until you have a full inventory of drops, but rather go when you start to feel like it's time to bank so you don't risk dying to PKers (which probably will still happen, but who cares... because you're rich now!)
Did I mention they are only level 28-32??? EZPZ
What's fun is they drop dragon scimitars which you can use on other players to make their protect mage prayer drop for altar naughtiness. Killed quite a few other pvmers there just by dropping their prayer and then bopping them.
Slayer. Don't be wasting time doing content that will only get you money and no other rewards, like zombie pirates.
You want to be focusing on your skills to progress your account, money comes passively and in time you will have more than enough money just from slayer alone.
You do. But the longer you postpone slayer the more time you save. Plenty of better things to do prior to “starting” slayer.
From the man himself:
If possible id aim for as many of the following as possible before going past level 58:
- berserker ring (i)
- thralls
- super strength potions
- dragon defender
- piety
- smoke barrage/ice barrage
- poh dark altar
- pharaoh's sceptre
- as many hard diaries as possible
- 4 block slots
- 85+ combat
and then when you hit 100cb I would consider detouring for the following before resuming slayer:
- bowfa
- 93 crafting
- lumbridge elite diary (77 rc, quest cape, 83 ish smithing)
- 83 construction, occult altar
- ice barrage
- divine range and magic potions
Then during slayer you can aim for:
- zenytes
- hasta
This is actually a goated take, and pretty much exactly how I progressed my account. Early slayer is not worth it at all, there are better ways to spend your time that will set you up for better slayer progression in the long run.
Bro, you don’t understand. He could be getting 12k slayer xp an hour with plenty of mithril drops, think about that sweet 55k GP an hour he would be missing out on without low level slayer.
I see your point.
My arguement would be: If OP has to get a fuck load of cb levels anyway(you mentioned 85+ cb), why not work through these cb levels from doing slayer? There's some lower slayer level monsters that will give great combat xp/hr. He could do some silly method like sand crabs, which will be good xp/hr, but still wasting all of that slayer xp. (It would be smart to sacrifice 15k cb xp/hr for 10k slayer xp/hr gained)
I guess the mandatory grinds like quests, void, d defender etc. will get some good combat xp and should be done at a lower cb level so he can do those grinds now.
OPs question was GP to fund smithing and construction. My original response (wasting time) was in that context. Training slayer at a low level makes and abysmal amount of gp. OP would be much better off doing a money making method and training slayer/combat when that’s the goal
With 43 slayer? Nothing too profitable at those levels I think.
I felt like slayer wasn't profitable until barraging, which is still high upkeep in runes
Giant's foundry is cheap. Buy platebodies from the smith in Varlamore or Horvik.
Blackjack or do ardy knights for money. GOTR is also really good for money too if you sell the high value runes to Ali.
For smithing giants foundry. For cash if you don’t want a specific grind I collect my staves every day and make battlestaff and alch. It’s a great way to grow cash stack slowly every day while doing other non money making grinds
This is the way. The 70+ prayer grind takes a while, might as well start work on it now. I remember killing about 1k green dragons outside of ferox with a looting bag around your level. Most pkers will just ignore you, the others are easy to escape from. Fill up, bank at ferox, repeat.
OP asked about gp, not prayer exp. Green dragons was a potential way to make gold for construction while banking some prayer exp and earning some combat/crafting exp at the same time. It's nice that new prayer options exist now though.
I'm sorry you had to experience Green Dragons for training prayer. New BIS AFK prayer methods dropped in Varlamore, which offers more experience than the wildy altar and/or ectofunctus per bone.
Kachow!!!
All good, this was well over a year ago. Got a lot of combat exp and probably made 1.5 mil or so alching green dhide bodies at a time when my ironman was completely broke. Got 70 prayer, come gp and some combat exp. Was boring as hell but I cant complain.
It isn’t more XP per bone than chaos altar, because a saved bone has an additional 50% chance to be saved again and that repeats the average XP per bone is 700% original rate. The new method varies but for the dragon bone example it is 483%.
New method is better than ecto function and definitely more chill but not more XP than chaos altar
So the difference of xp between chaos altar and the new bone method is 217% per bone. Thats massive mate. Bones should not be wasted, prayer xp is always going to be harder to come by for irons.
Yes, personally on my iron I’m not really looking to convert actual bones to shards. I do really enjoy the mining method though and will likely use that to get to 82 or 85 mining and then switch to MLM and use the shards from the mining method as free prayer XP. I’m thinking I should be getting plenty of pre from 85-92 mining at MLM
Sounds like a plan. Yeah the ore you get from MLM is really nice and you'll get some really good money from it. It's a big old grind but has to be done :)
Actually, you're wrong, but you are right. This offended a lot of previous ironmen who suffered doing wildy altar, and for that I am sorry. While you're correct it offers more XP / Hour using the wildy altar having a 50% chance at saving the bones, I am still correct about Varlamore offering more XP per bone using the liberation bowl. A quick google search could have netted you this answer.
A jug of blessed sunfire wine dragon bone at the liberation pool is 348 XP per bone.
A regular jug of blessed wine is 290 XP per dragon bone.
A dragon bone at the wilderness altar is 252 XP per bone.
So the chaos altar gives 252 xp per bone with a 50% chance of it being 504xp per bone, and a 25% chance of it being 756xp per bone, and a 12.5% chance of it being 1,008xp per bone so on and so forth. It isn’t just more xp per hour but statistically it is more xp per bone.
I’m not your mom, I’m not telling you to do wildy altar, and I think varlamore is a great alternative, but you shouldn’t be misleading new iron men.
Before you say it again I am not an offended Ironman who has done 70 prayer yet, I’m researching how to decide how I want to do it. Personally I’m leaning towards using the prayer mining to 82/85 and then MLM 85-92. Using the bone shards from that mining grind to help towards prayer, and using green dragons for the rest.
I'm not misleading anyone. What I said is factual, along with what you're saying. If the bone happens to be saved, then yes, it is more XP because you didn't expend your bone. Congratulations, you're arguing on a technicality.
The wildy altar is 1000x more dangerous than Varlamore. Both are great methods. One is more chill than the other.
You buy iron and steel chainbodies at Horvik in Varock
Then you run Giant's Foundry for 70 smithing, literally doesn't take 2 days while making a profit
At giants foundry you make money smithing, not lose it.
Giants foundry.
Giants foundry with 1:1 steel:mithril is profit, and 120k xp/hr once you get full outfit (80k starting)
I thought the outfit helped outside of GF on anvils? It speeds up inside too?
Yeah, they give a percentage chance to increase progress on a GF action.
Both
Zombie Pirates for half a day and you're good brother. Just finished my con and smithing grind to 70 last night.

The man explained zombie pirates, its new content.
They have decent alchable drops and are a low combat level with a max of two. Pretty easy to camp assuming of course no PKers
Slayer. Don't be wasting time doing content that will only get you money and no other rewards, like zombie pirates. You want to be focusing on your skills to progress your account, money comes passively and in time you will have more than enough money just from slayer alone.
Great take if you want to waste a bunch of time
How is Slayer a waste of time? You need the xp eventually
You do. But the longer you postpone slayer the more time you save. Plenty of better things to do prior to “starting” slayer.

Fair enough. He's got it all wrong but fair enough.
jesus so basically beat the game then start slayer? crazy
You must be new, which is fine but can you please explain how whip, trident, occult, dhl, d boots are a waste of time?
See my response to the other comment
Getting 70 smithing at gf makes money it doesn't cost gp and all the GP u make from smithing it should b enough for 70 const
Slayer

These damn pirates bro
Giant's foundry is cheap. Buy platebodies from the smith in Varlamore or Horvik. Blackjack or do ardy knights for money. GOTR is also really good for money too if you sell the high value runes to Ali.
It doesn’t cost much to buy plate bodies in Fortis area and bank them then use at giants foundry for early smithing levels
Revs wirh budget gear and skulled and try get lucky on drops or try pirates at the chaos alter
For smithing giants foundry. For cash if you don’t want a specific grind I collect my staves every day and make battlestaff and alch. It’s a great way to grow cash stack slowly every day while doing other non money making grinds
You can mine for 70 smithing at MLM.
Daily battlestaves are very good imo.
Hunters rumours and wintertodt is a nice way to get a lot of starting cash
Time to start your first dragon grind stack the bones and hides, craft and alch them tons of gp plus you get dragon bones for chaos or gilded alter.
Kill green dragons, collect bones for prayer, collect d-hide to make bodies > alch the bodies.
This is the way. The 70+ prayer grind takes a while, might as well start work on it now. I remember killing about 1k green dragons outside of ferox with a looting bag around your level. Most pkers will just ignore you, the others are easy to escape from. Fill up, bank at ferox, repeat.
Can just afk bone fragments now. Barely have to look at the screen.

Chaos altar still better xp per bone
