Saint Grimm’s Max Cape Guide​

NOTE: I was stoned while writing a lot of this guide, so if there are mistakes, they might be fixed within a couple of days.

This guide is going by training possibilities as well as prices of May 2013. This guides efficiency in xp per hour as well as cost for skills may change over time. This may not always be the most cost or xp efficient, this is just how I got my 99s. First things first, if you get bored easy, you might find getting max cape A LOT easier by following my method. The idea is to start with the longest skill, then finish with the quickest. I will not cover combat or slayer in this guide. However, if you really want to start with the longest 99, start with getting all combat to 99 with slayer, then finish 99 slayer and close to, if not enough, charms for 99 summoning. My personal first 99 was defense.

Also, I did not use this method for herblore, I planned to, but ended up cleaning fellstalk to 99. That raises the time up to 100 some hours for herblore, but after spending over 800 hours of runecrafting and having a "clean all" button, 100 hours is nothing at all. (which is the point of doing the longest 99s first).

Dungeoneering - Just a copy of a dungeoneering guide I made last month(I think?). It is aimed towards level 90+ dungeoneering. (But can help anyone I suppose).

Runecrafting
​

Now, this one I did for money making to be able to afford other 99s. So you may want to use the runespan from level 1 – 99, but this is how I did it.

Level 1 – 33: Runespan First Floor
Simply siphon cyclones and mindstorms as well as the best creature you can. This will take around 2 – 3 hours for level 33.

Level 33 – 91: Runespan Second and Third Floors
It’s pretty simple, just do the best nodes you can as well as the best creatures. This can take around 40 hours.

Level 91 – 99: Nature Runes
This takes about a month, no shit. And that’s playing 15 hours a day 7 days a week. However, it will land you 175mil.

Level 1 – 99: Totals, it takes a long fucking time. Over a month, but it’s the best money maker.

Fishing​

Fishing can be one of the most boring skills to get to 99. This may be a good way to get it!

Level 1 – 10: Shrimp
You need to catch 116 shrimp, the time and money aren’t worth adding up. You’ll need a small fishing net for these. Shrimp fishing spots can be found near the sea.

Level 10 - 20: Herring
To catch herring, you’re going to need a fishing rod and bait. It will take 111 herring to get you to level 20 fishing. Herring can be found anywhere shrimp can.

Level 20 – 30: Trout
To catch trout you will need a fly fishing rod and feathers for bait. A good area to catch trout is shilo village, but the shilo village quest is required. It will take 178 trout to get to level 30 fishing.

Level 30 – 40: Trout & Salmon
Now you’ll be catching both trout and salmon! Assuming you catch 5 trout per 1 salmon, this will require you to catch 109 of the 6 fish together. This will also not yield much cash or take very long.

Level 40 – 62: Lobsters
You will need to catch 3,296 lobsters to get 76 fishing! This will require around 29 hours of fishing but give you a 400k profit. A good place to fish lobsters is the fishing guild, so go there as soon as you meet the level requirements.

Level 62 – 90: monkfish
This requires you complete the Swan Song Quest to catch them. They catch *almost* as fast as lobsters and give more fishing xp than sharks. You will need to catch 41,772 monkfish to get 90 fishing. This will take around 104 hours of fishing and give over 19m profit.

Level 90 – 99: Rocktails
To catch rocktails, you need a fishing rod and living minerals. You can find their fishing spots in the living rock cavern inside the dwarven mine. I will assume you are catching around 100 rocktails per hour all the way to 99. It will take 20,232 rocktails and 202 hours but give a nice profit of 34mil.

Level 1- 99: Totals
Around 53.4mil profit for 99 fishing, but it takes around 335 hours.

Farming​

My method requires livid farm and also getting magic xp, so if you don’t already have 99 magic, farming might get it for you, it did me. Now farming is a special case and would take me far to long to type of step by step, so it’ll be done a little differently. This will also not give any xp for making super compost and will assume you never let crops die.

Level 1 – 20: Potatoes and Marigolds
If following my guide, it will be helpful to do this part of farming while working on the earlier 99s. at least getting as far as 60. It will take 12 times of planting potatoes in all 9 potato patches and marigolds in all 4 marigold patches, however, this is going by the worst possible outcome, which will never happen, of only getting 1 potato per allotment. So it won’ t actually take you this long or a full 12 cycles, but presuming it did, this will take a total of 8 hours (with grow time).

Level 20 – 60: Sweetcorn, Limpwurts, harralander, Acorns, Apple trees
Now this is not at all accurate, as not all of these things are plantable at level 20 farming, but I didn’t want to type that much up about farming. This is presuming that you re-plant allotment, herbs and flowers twice a day and trees and fruit trees once a day. I also went more in depth for this part, and calculated at 5 items harvested per patch. Planting 1 patch of each of these, allotments, herbs, flowers, twice per day and trees and fruit trees once per day will give you 11.3k xp per day and take a total of about 24 days.

Level 60 – 99: Livid Farm
This requires you have completed the quest Lunar Diplomacy and you also need 83 magic. You will stand at Livid Farm and cast Fertile Soil and Cure Disease on the plants, gaining you 147 magic xp and 183 farming xp per cast of BOTH spells. This will take around 390 hours, casting 70,327 of both spells put together, so around 35k of each spell, that costs 52.3mil when using a mud staff.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
I’m not going to add 1 – 60 to all of this, as you won’t really start training it alone until 60, so just refer to 60 – 99 for your totals.

Crafting​

I did mine more to make money, but however now it does not make money. So the last stretch of levels will seem odd especially due to how long it took me, but that is what I’m putting here, however, faster ways now may also prove to be more cash efficient as well.

Levels 1 – 28: Leather
Just make the best soft leather items you can up to 28, this shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes or cost more than 10k (both estimated).

Level 28 – 57: Hard Leather Bodies
This will take around 5,498 bodies, craftings already getting expensive, costing almost 2mil and taking around 4 hours.

Level 57 – 63: Green Dhide Vambraces
This is going to take around 2,677 vambs, so you’ll spend around 2.2mil (buying green leathers, cheaper to buy hides) and it’ll take you around 2 – 3 hours.

Level 63 – 76: Green Dhide Bodies
5,204 Green Dhide bodies. Will take around 5 hours and cost a nice hunk, 10.5mil.

Level 76 – 81: Decorated Fishing Urn
This is where I started making money, but even as I’m writing this it’s a loss and takes forever from here to 99, so you might want to use a different method. 7,137 of these urns for 81, costing around 800k and taking around 20 hours.

Level 81 – 99: Decorated Cooking Urns
This made me mills, however it took a very long time and will cost you money (unless the economy rolls back). It will take 83,398 Decorated cooking urns to hit 99 crafting. It will also cost you almost 22mil and take almost 240 hours.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
Like I said multiple times, you may want to use a different guide for higher up crafting, or maybe crafting all together. This costs a total of over 37mil and takes over 272 hours of nothing but crafting!

Agility​

Level 1 – 35: Gnome Stronghold Course
Located on the eastern side of the Gnome Stronghold. No food is required and leveling 1 to 35 should take around 4 hours.

Level 35 – 52: Barbarian Outpost
Located just North of the Ancient Cavern and behind the Barbarian Outpost. The Bar Crawl mini-quest is required to access the course. 35 – 52 should take around 7 hours. Bring weight reducing gear + food.

Level 52 – 70: Wilderness Course
This course is located in deep wilderness in the far north western area. Bring no items (except cheap weigh reducing gear, such as boots of lightness, spottier cape, etc). 52 – 70 Agility should take around 17 hours.

Level 70 -89: Ape Atoll Course
This course is located on the island of Ape Atoll and requires the quest Monkey Madness as well as a Ninja Monkey greegree. Weight reducing gear still helps, but at 70+, food should not be needed. It should take around 82 hours to get 70 – 89 agility.

Level 89 – 94: Gnome Advanced Course
This is the same course as the Gnome Stronghold, but you will now be taking the advanced path. Weight reducing gear, as always, helps but no food is required. 89 – 94 agility should take around 48 hours.

Level 94 – 99: Barbarian Advanced Course
This is the same course as the Barbarian course, but using the advanced route and gives off a nice amount of xp. 94 – 99 will take around 75 hours.

1 – 99: Totals
It takes 233 hours for level 1 – 99 Agility using the above method. If one were to play runescape around 5 hours a day, this would take around 47 days or almost 2 months. There is no cost or profit, so agility is a great skill for a player to level with a small budget.

Mining​

With mining, I just dropped my gold, so that’s what I’m going to assume you’re doing as well (when we get to that point), however, if you bank the gold ore you can make a much larger profit than I am calculating.

Level 1 – 20: Rune Essence:
This might as well be done with power mining (meaning you drop the ores and keep mining) It will take 894 rune essence to get to 20 mining and take less than an hour.

Level 20 – 60: Iron Ores
This will be done at the dwarven mine (sometimes it’s hard to find an open world). This can be done with power mining as well, but if you have level 15 dungeoneering theres a deposit box inside the resource dungeon right next to the iron. If you can find an empty world, this should take around 10 hours of mining and get you around 1.4m profit if you use the deposit box. If you chose to power mine, it might be easier to use the iron mine near the Piscatoris Colony, north of the Gnome Stronghold hunting area.

Level 60 – 77: Coal
You can power mine this at the mining guild in the dwarven mines or you can power mine it at the seer’s village mines. You can also use the coal trucks at the seers village mine to bank the coal, but as this would considerably hurt your xp per hour, I’ll assume you are power mining. It will require 24k coal to be mined and can take up to 40+ hours to get to 77 mining.

Level 77 – 80: Coal Deposits
This will be power mined, and get you around 60k xp per hour. I highly advice you use the living rock caverns world (84) to do this, and just mine coal, then drop it. This can go very quickly if you put coal on your action bar and just hit the corresponding number repeatedly when your inventory is full. This should take around 9 hours.

Level 80 – 99: Gold Deposits
We’re still in the living rock cavern, but this can be easier. If you have the summoning level, bring a lava titan for the mining boost and gold mining clothes if you have them. The way I did it, which I found to be the easiest, is instead of using the Living rock cavern world and running from deposit to deposit, go to the gold deposit on the other side of the river in the north (I think) part of the cavern. If using mining urns, fill your inventory with around 4 lava titan pouches, 1 summoning potion(4), 4 free inventory slots and the rest mining urns. Then just drop the gold ore with your action bar and work towards 99. This will pull in around 80 – 100k xp per hour. It will take around 170k gold ores to get to 99 and take around 140 hours.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
It can give a lot of profit or no profit, depending on your method. It can also take a minimum of 200 hours.

Woodcutting​

If you have a lumberjack outfit, wear it throughout the entire adventure of 1 – 99 woodcutting. Always use the best axe you possible can.

Level 1 – 15: Normal Logs
You need to cut down 97 trees to get 15 woodcutting. Shouldn’t take long at all.

Level 15 – 30: Oak Trees
A good spot for this would be just west of Varrock west bank. You need to collect 534 oak logs for 30 woodcutting. This might take close to an hour if you bank, it would be quicker to just drop the logs.

Level 30 – 68: Willow Logs
Draynor or the Barbarian Outpost is great for these. I think these days people prefer the outpost, it is a little bit quicker to bank the willow logs. You’ll need to collect 8,766 willow logs for 68 woodcutting. This will take approximately 15 hours.

Level 68 – 99: Ivy
Theres many locations you can do this, I personally cut it from Yanile’s north wall. Wearing lumberjack, it will take 36,472 ivy chopped to get 99 woodcutting. You will get lower at first, and higher by 99, but I’ll be assuming you get 90k xp per hour from 68 – 99, meaning it will take 140 hours. If you were not following the guides in order and already have 92+ firemaking, you can use the inferno adze instead of dragon hatcet.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
99 Woodcutting will take around 155 hours, if it does give any profit, it will be very little

Fletching​

This is one of the easier and faster long skills to get to 99. It would be much faster if you only strung the bows instead of doing it all, as I did here.

Level 1 – 20: Shortbows
Cut shortbows from normal logs and use bowstrings with them. It’ll take around 447 bows and take around an hour to do.

Level 20 – 25: Oak shortbows
Same as above, except using oak logs now, it will take 103 oak shortbows to get to 25 fletching.

Level 25 – 40: Oak shieldbows
Same as above, but instead of using shortbows, we’re now making shieldbows! 588 oak shield bows, 20 – 40 should take around an hour and a half and cost around 20k

Level 40 – 55: Willow Shieldbows
It will take 1,560 willow shieldbows to reach level 55 fletching. This will cost you 7k and take about an hour and a half.

Level 55 – 70: Maple Shieldbows
This will take you 4,902 maple shieldbows. Taking around 8+ hours and gain around 500k.

Level 70 – 85: Yew Shieldbows
You need to make 16,807 yew shieldbows to get to 85. This will take 30+ hours and cost over 700k.

Level 85 – 99: Magic Shieldbows
The final stretch, on yet another skill! 53,420 magic shieldbows for the cape! This will take around 100 hours and cost 17.2mil

Level 1 – 99: Totals
It can be a somewhat boring, or somewhat fun 99 to get. It costs 18.4mil and takes around 140 hours.

Hunter​

I had 90 hunting before they updated the charm sprites to give better xp and also get 99 summoning. I will assume that charm sprites are now the best xp per hour you can get since the update(not sure if that’s true though).

Level 1 – 19: Crimson Swifts
You can find these in the feldip hills hunting area, you should bring about 5 bird snares with you.

Level 19 – 29: Tropical Wagtails
Just take your 5 snares and move a little bit west to hunt these.

Level 29 – 43: Swamp Lizards
These are a summoning secondary, so they are worth something. 43 Hunter will bag you 718k and take around 2 hours, maybe a little less. You will need to catch 253 lizards.

Level 43 – 60: Spotted Kebbits
This activity won’t get you any cash, but it’s extremely easy. You’ll need to catch around 2,149 spotted kebbits for level 60. The timing for this differs greatly due to luck, but I’ll estimate it takes around 3 – 4 hours.

Level 60 – 80: Red Salamanders
You’ll probably catch around 300 of these per hour if you try extremely hard. If you do, this will take around 20 hours and bring in no profit because you will be releasing the salamanders.

Level 80 – 99: Charm Sprites
This is hard to estimate on time and amount, because theres 3 possiblities everytime you use your stick on the bush (haha!) I’ll just estimate you’re getting around 100k xp per hour and say this will take 110 hours, make no profit and require an unknown number of charm sprites.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
99 hunter should gain you around 718k cash and take around 140 hours.

Firemaking​

Make good use of the bonfire world here, you can find bonfires in either al kharid or lumbridge cellar in the bonfire specific world(s). This guides time, xp and cost go by using a bonfire and burning 1k logs per hour.

Level 1 – 15: Logs
It will take 49 logs and not cost enough or take enough time to calculate.

Level 15 – 30: Oak Logs
It will take 129 Oak logs to get to level 30 firemaking, again not enough money or time to calculate.

Level 30 – 45: Willow Logs
This will take 459 willow logs, Level 1 – 45 should take around an hour and cost around 10k.

Level 56 – 62: Maple Logs
You will need 2,017 maple logs for 62 firemaking. This will cost around 90k and take about 2 hours.

Level 62 – 79: Maple Logs (Ring of Fire)
If you havn’t already, do the All Fired Up quest and play the mini-game far enough to unlock the Ring of Fire. It grants a 2% xp boost. It will take 10,640 Maple logs to get to 79 firemaking, take around 11 hours and cost almost 500k.

Level 79 – 99: Maple Logs (Ring of Fire + Flame Gloves)
If you want to get this 99 cheap, like I did, this is the best method, however, using higher leveled logs will make it go A LOT faster! 99 firemaking will require another 79,292 maple logs, take almost 80 hours and cost 3.6mil.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
99 Firemaking will cost 4.2mil and take around 93 hours.

Cooking​

To start off cooking, the best place to cook is the thieves den, located in the building just west of the Taverly lodestone. Getting cooking gauntlets as soon as possible will help while getting 99 cooking. The times are going by a 1k fish cooked per hour, however it is not hard to get 1.1 – 1.2k cooked per hour. The calculated loss is also if you sell every single cooked fish back.

Level 1 – 20: Shrimp
This will require 149 shrimp, take around 10 minutes and will gain you a 149 gp profit.

Level 20 – 40: Trout
Trout won’t take long at all. 40 cooking will come around in about 30 minutes, it will require 468 raw trout, but it will only cost around 3k

Level 40 – 50: Salmon
713 Salmon to get 40 – 50 cooking, still not a lot to worry about. This will take under an hour still and cost almost 10k.

Level 50 – 68: Tuna
Now its going to start taking a little bit longer. 5,037 tuna are required to get to 68 cooking, this will take around 5 hours and cost roughly 90k.

Level 68 – 81: Lobsters
13,232 lobsters. This will take around 13 hours and cost around 500k.

Level 81 – 90: Swordfish
22,526 swordfish. This will take close to 23 hours and cost 3.4mil.

Level 90 – 94: Monkfish
17,322 monkfish. A little over 17 hours and cost around 1.3mil.

Level 94 – 95: Shark
3,938 Shark for just 1 cooking level! Expect this to take around 4 hours and cost around 550k.

Level 95 – 99: Rocktails
The final stretch of cooking and you’re done! 18,947 rocktails. This will take around 19 hours and cost in the are of 7mil but will be the fastest way to hit 99.

1 – 99: Totals
Cooking used to be one of, if not THE, cheapest 99 to get, however, this is no longer true. It costs around 13mil for 99 cooking and takes around 82 hours of pure cooking.

Smithing​

Smithing can be pretty expensive, but it’s a fun skill to do, atleast in my opinion.

Level 1 – 29: The Kinghts Sword Quest.
Level 29 – 33: Iron Bolts(unf)

Level 33 – 48: Iron Platebodies
Make 518 iron platebodies. This require 2,590 iron bars and cost 367k. The best place to smith bars is south of the grand exchange and Varrock west bank. This will take less than an hour.

Level 48 – 68: Steel Platebodies
Make 2785 steel platebodies, this will require 13,921 steel bars and will cost around 7mil. It should only take 4 hours.

Level 68 – 88: Mithril Platebodies
Make 15,123 Mith plates for 88 smithing. If you get bored of smithing, now might be a good time to play stealing creation and cut that number in half. 15,124 mithil plates will cost you 72.3mil and take 22 hours.

Level 88 – 99: Adamant Platebodies
The final stretch, and if you’re short on cash, you might want to just make iron item at the artisan workshop. You need to make 27,676 adamant plates. That is 138,379 adamant bars, costing around 170mil and takes around 41 hours.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
It takes around 70 hours and costs 250mil.

Thieving​

I had a lot of fun thieving and it went by really fast. It’s one of the quicker 99s and doesn’t get to boring either!

Level 1 – 5: Pickpocketing Men
You make 500 xp per hour, how long do you think it could possibly take?

Level 5 – 20: Bakers Stall
A good spot is Ardougne. You will need to steel from a bakers stall 256 times to get to level 20 thieving. This will take around half an hour.

Level 20 – 30: Silk Stall
Still in Ardougne for this, for 30 thieving you need to steal from silk stalls 371 times. This will take around half an hour.

Level 30 – 50: Advanced Chest
For this you need to have completed the buyers and cellars quest. To take a healthy hunk of the xp to our next goal, always do as far into the buyers and cellars quest as you can until all of the side quests are finished. This will take around 1 and half hours to get to level 50.

Level 50 – 65: Coshing Volunteer
For this, you need to be up to date on buyers and cellars again. We won’t actually be hitting the coshing volunteers, its often easier to go after the big guy, a pickpocketing trainer because he is much easier to trap. This could go faster or slower depending how many times you can pickpocket him while hes knocked out and how quickly you can knock him out. I’ll just assume you’re getting around 100k xp per hour, so it will take you 3 and a half hours to hit 65 thieving.

Level 65 – 95: Menaphite Thugs
To loot these guys, you need to have buyers and cellars completely finished, the feud finished as well as rouge trader. Get the best black jack you can and take out the Menaphite Thugs in pollniveach and be again, it depends how quickly you do things, but you could reach 95 thieving after just around 35 hours of thieving.

Level 95 – 99: Monkey Knife Fighter
This is pretty entertaining. Who doesn’t like punching out little monkeys? You must complete Do No Evil quest to access the method, as well as a Gorilla greegree, they are located on Ape Atoll, where you found them in the quest. It will take around 15 hours to get 99 thieving.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
99 thieving will take around 58 hours and does not a cost a thing, except food.

Herblore​

Now this one I will be doing differently. I got 91 – 99 herblore cleaning fellstalk because I was low on cash, but this guide will tell you how I planned on doing it, which would have been better for me in the long run due to having Overload potions.

Level 1 – 3: Druidic Ritual Quest
Level 3 – 38: Attack Potions
You will need to make 1,207 attack potions. This will take around an hour if you are just mixing unfinished guam potions with eye of newts, which is the faster way to level. This will give almost a 500k loss.

Level 38 – 55: Prayer Potions
55 herblore will require 1,557 prayer potions. This will take close to an hour and a half and cost 2.1mil.

Level 55 – 81: Super Strength Potions
You will need to make 16,209 super strength potions for 81 herblore! This will take close to 16 hours and cost 45mil.

Level 81 – 88: Saradomin Brews
Now, I had 90+ herb before the EoC update, and I think the EoC really hurt these, so you might be far better off making a different potion to 89. If you do make saradomin brews, you will need 12,183 of them. Right now that will cost you 60mil and take around 12 hours.

Level 88 – 89: Extreme Attack Potion
We’re going to make 3,932 extreme attack potions. This will get you further than just the level 89 mark, but you’ll be needing those extreme attacks later. This guide assumes you are buying attack potion(3)s and clean avantoe. This will take around 3 and a half hours and cost around 18mil.

Level 89 – 91: Extreme Strength Potion
This will also take you further than level 91, but like I said, you will need all of your extremes for the final stretch. You bill making the same amount of these, 3,932 and, obviously, will take the same time as the extreme attack potions. It will cost around 36.8mil.

Level 91 – 92: Extreme Defense Potion
Make the same amount. Takes the same amount of time and costs around 32mil.

Level 92 – 94: Extreme Magic Potion
Again, same amount, same time except you will also have to grind down 3,932 mud runes, so add about an hour or 2 onto the time. It’ll cost you around 21.4mil.

Level 94 – 95: Extreme Ranging Potions
Same amount, same time, costing around 50mil.

Level 95 – 96: Prayer Renewal Potion
We will be needing 3,055 of these, taking around 2 and a half hours and costing roughly 10mil.

Level 96 – 99: Overload Potion
It will not require the full 3,932 Extreme potions to hit level 99 Herblore. It will only take around 3,350 overloads, but having almost 4k overloads will last a very long time, so I’ll just assume youre making the full 3,932. This will cost close to 50mil yet again. Levels 88 – 99 should take a total of 22 hours.

Level 1 – 99: Totals
Herblore may possibly be the most expensive 99 there is, especially doing it this way. It costs 325mil but can be done in around 52 hours of potion making.

Prayer​

Prayer is by far the simplest 99, but can cost an arm and a leg.

Level 1 – 99: Dragon Bones
We’re going to be using a gilded altar. If you do not have the construction level to build one, use the open altar world, which is usually cheaper due to not needing your own marrentill to light the burners. I won’t be adding up the price of marrentills here. It will take 51,724 dragon bones for 99 Prayer and cost around 117mil. Using your best BoB familiar will speed up the process and it is possible to reach xp of 300k per hour, meaning it would take around 45 hours for 1 – 99 prayer.

Construction​

The construction guide will be slightly easier to follow than Agility and has less steps, but is very expensive.

Level 1 – 8: Crude Wooden Chairs
Firstly, if you don’t already have one, build a Parlour room and begin building crude wooden chairs require 2 planks and 2 steel nails. Only 14 of them need to be built (just build then remove it and build it again 27 times total). This will require 27 normal planks and 27 nails and cost around 15 – 20k.

Level 8 – 19: Wooden Chairs
This is also done in the parlour, so no need for more rooms yet, it requires 3 planks and 3 nails. This will take around 35 wooden chairs, so again, it won’t take long at all, just build and remove the chair a total of 35 times. This will take around 105 normal planks and 105 nails and cost around 50k.

Level 19 – 26: Oak Chairs
Same as the last two, except now we’ll be using oak planks and no nails. It requires 2 oak planks per chair and will require around 40 oak chairs to get to level 26 construction. This will require 80 oak planks and cost around 45k.

Level 26 – 33: Oak Armchairs
Now we need 3 oak planks per chair, and will build and destroy around 80 oak armchairs to reach 33 construction. This will require 240 oak planks and cost around 135k.

Level 33 – 72: Oak Larders
Now it starts to get fun, to make this go the very fastest, build 2 bedrooms and hire the best butler you can, then build a kitchen and start building oak larders. They require 8 oak planks each and you’re going to have to build a whopping 1,836 oak larders to reach level 72. This will take 14,688 oak planks and cost around 8200k(8.2m)

Level 72 – 99: Oak Dungeon Doors
Now, we’re up to the big leagues, the final stretch. Again, for the best results you need the best butler you can use, and build a staircase from your trophy/quest hall into a dungeon stairs room, send your butler after oak planks then quickly go down the stairs so that he will return to you in the dungeon stair room so that you will have quick access to him. Continually build and destroy oak dungeon doors to 99 construction. This will require 20,226 oak dungeon doors, which will use up 202,260 oak planks and cost over 113m!

Totals 1 – 99:
1 – 70 should be completed in around 5 – 10 hours and 72 – 99 could be done within 27 hours of gameplay if done correctly. So around 30 – 40+ hours for 99 construction, and it will also cost just slightly over 120mil.

Dungeoneering​

~Suggested binds~


My binds are currently in the middle of finding better things. I currently have prom 2h, prom plate legs, primal chain, spirit bloom top, tyrannoleather top and chaps, celestial catalytic staff, sagittarian shortbow, and shadowsilk hood. But if your around my level and are lucky enough to get a primal maul use that instead of prom 2h. The only "loadout" I actually use are: Prom 2h, primal chain, celestial staff and sag shortbow with sag arrows.

What I actually suggest is:

1. Best 2h weapon you can find
2. Best ranging top you can find (this is to help when using rapid fire, otherwise use best plate/chainbody)
3. Best staff you can find
4. Best bow you can find
Ammo: Best arrows you can find

Optionally, you can replace the staff or top with a blood necklace if you can find one, I'm currently looking for one, but not exactly sure how useful they are since the EoC made it "not as good".



~Floors 1 - 20~


These are C1 rushes. You just need to do these as fast as possible, only fight monsters if there is a guardian door. Do not waste time picking up food from the homeroom just start sprinting to the boss like its a race. My times are usually 1:30 minutes to 2 minutes per floor.


~Floors 21 - 39~


These are C6 small floors. Same as the rushes. Race to the end, only kill monsters at guardian doors, dont worry about food, but on these floors, pick up food that monsters drop, but only salve eels or better. I personally usually finish C6 small floors in around 3 - 5 minutes depending on puzzles. Never worry about rooms you have to use a potion to open (such as doors requiring 102 in a level), just skip em.


~Floors 40 - 48~


These floors should be done on C6 Medium. Pick up only the best food in the homeroom(salve eel+). Again, we're picking up salve eels or better when they are dropped by mobs as well. This one isn't quite as much of a race, kill weaker mobs even if theres no guardian door, at maxed combat, I would suggest mobs level 150 and lower, but don't worry about them if they are in a deadend, only enter the deadend if there is a key and just run past the mobs ALWAYS. As on floors 21-39, dont waste time making potions to get through skill doors or puzzles you cant do with your default skills. Even though we are now taking time to kill more of the mobs, you need to do so as quickly as possible. and try to get to the boss as quickly as possible, while still killing all mobs level 150 and lower that are not in deadend rooms. My time on these floors differ alot, I average at around 20 minutes per floor and 50k xp per floor, sometimes I can get lucky and get around 15 minutes per floor, if you can do this, you'll be making closer to 200k xp/h than 150k! thats a whole extra floor per hour, so just do them as quickly as you possibly can while also following these guidelines.


~Helpful Tips~


Spam your skills(this should be done even on c1 rushes!) For those that dont know what skill spamming is, dont use your default attack AT ALL, as soon as you click on the mob, click on the skill (or his the number button associated with the skill) until you use it, then as soon as the skill is used, use another one and continue doing so until the mob is killed.

A lower tier maul is NOT better than an equal tier 2h sword. For example, if you have the choice of a gorganite maul or a prom 2h sword, use the 2h sword! And actually, as far as I know, after EoC, all 2h weapons are equal, so it doesnt matter if you use a maul 2h or spear of the same tier as long as it is the best tier you can find/make. It just depends on your preference of slash (2h) crush (maul) or stab (spear).

Use AoEs! AoE stands for Area of Effect. 2h skills have 2 of these. Hurricane and Quake. If you find that you are being attacked by 2 mobs that are close to you (usually meaning this works for melee only mobs) and your adrenaline is 50% or higher, use either quake of hurricane to do damage to both of them instead of taking longer to kill just one. Actually, if you just cant get into the habbit of using these AoEs, it might be better to use dual wielding weapons, as from what I have heard, in 1 on 1 combat they have a slightly higher DPS(damage per second) but I havn't really tested that.


~Skill Bar~


This is just in my opinion the best set up. I use bar #1 outside of dung and it doesnt quiet fit this very well, so I start with bar #2 (Click the arrows above or under the bar number on the far right to switch which bar your using).

I have it set up so I mainly stay on bar #3 and use melee, but if I come across a situation where magic would be best, I just click the up arrow and equipt staff, or if ranged would be best, the down arrow and equipt bow.

Bar #2 - Magic:
1. Wrack
2. Impact
3. Chain
4. Combust
5. Dragon Breath
6. Sonice Wave
7. Omnipower
8. Sunshine
9. Regenerate
0. Soul Split (I've never actually used this in dung tho, never need it)
-. Torment
=. Fire Surge (to more easily right click and set as auto-cast)

Bar #3 - Melee:
1. Slice
2. Sever
3. Punish
4. Dismember
5. Smash
6. Cleave
7. Hurricane
8. Quake
9. Pulverise
0. Regenerate
-. Turmoil
=. Soul Split

Bar #4 - Ranged:
1. Piercing Shot
2. Fragmentation Shot
3. Ricochet
4. Dazing Shot
5. Rapid Fire*
6. Death's Swiftness
7. Regenerate
8. Deflect Magic (Just used as a filler because I didnt have anything else to put on this bar, just leave it blank if youd like.)
9. Turmoil (same reason as 8)
0. Torment (same reason as 8 and 9)
-. Anguish
=. Soul Split

* - this is by far the best skill out of all 3 bars, especially for bosses. It shoots around 8 or 9 shots and at 99 ranged, usually hits 1500+ each shot and they shoot about the same speed as throwing knives. However, if you click another skill or eat or run away, it will CANCEL the skill and you will only fire as many shots as you fired before clicking w/e you clicked and will have to wait for the skill to cooldown before using it again. However, in c1 rushes, this skill isn't even needed as it will kill most bosses in around 2 - 3 hits, and in c6 small, if you have 50% adrenaline when entering the boss room, you can usually almost kill (if not kill) the boss with just 1 use of this skill.

 

Your threads never cease to disappoint me. This is by far, one of the most informative, thought-out, and organized max cape guides on Sythe. Kudos man, this will undoubtedly help a lot of people aiming to max on Runescape.

 

Great guide! Thank you for sharing this

 

Heads447, by never cease to disappoint, do you mean that his post sucks?

 

wow awsome guide

 

well written guide! and good job for doing it while being stoned haha

 

Your suggestion of farming isn't good. livid farm is very slow method to train farming. Also, level your first 15 farming level by doing fairy tale quest is much better.

 

bot like crazy done

 

great guide grim, must've taken time, will use when doing my skiller

 

Nice guide

 

Amazing guide, I read through every word of this guide and nt a single typo, this is the only guide that has probably helped me the most in total, I love how you did the calculations.

Tip:maybe do a exp/GP rate(profit/gain) depending on level?

 

nice guide bro, thanks +

 

This is a great guide, helps a lot.

 

This is possibly the best max cape guide I've read, nice and informative and it explains the nice cheap methods while telling you the expensive alternates. Good job dude.

 

Wow. Very descriptive, thank you very much.

 

Nice, great effort.

 

Great guide , but for runecrafting , believe runespan is better

 

i mean, i'm never going to use this since i quit Rs3 now, but this really is a great guide. WHERE IS THE THANK YOU BUTTON?

 

if only rs was still good lol

 

Awesome guide man. I'm glad I checked this out. Thank you!
