Account building help (NMZ ready)

Just wondering what route people take when building 60/60/60 or 70/70/70 accounts...
Which quests?
Where to train and when?
What gear to use?

These are just basic questions, additional info is of course welcome and appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

 

**I would consider myself a casual player so this info might not be the most efficient way to do things**, but this is what I done, more or less, multiple times to build melee stats:



Basic Training Areas and times:

01-10 - Chickens (Not populated in Members. Else World hop.)
10-20 - Cows (Not populated in Members. Else World hop.)
20-30 - Monks (Not populated in Members. Else World hop.)
30-40 - Chaos Druids (Not populated in Members. Else World hop.)
40-70 - Rock Crabs/Sand Crabs (I prefer Sand Crabs. They are usually really crowded, so you will most likely have go to a good 2-3 crab spot and world hop until you find an empty one. If you can fork out the money and have decent defense, you can pay 10k to go to the less populated Crabclaw Isle.)

Gear:

I would just use best-in-slot, or best-you-can-afford items for the grind and all the way up to NMZ. From there, it's kind of up for debate as to what is best. Some people use prayer-bonus gear, while others will just use Barrows, and still others use Bandos. I'm probably not the best person to ask for this -- So a bit more research may be needed.


Hope I provided some useful info! Cheers
