So, what are we going to do?

As I said in the welcome thread, we are in for a huge script, but step by step.

To start slowly, I suggest we start with one city and 2 or 3 gathering skills. What I mean by gathering is, for example, miner, fisher, woodcutter, etc.

Why? Because these you can start from level one with very little cash. The autoer will then earn levels and money, and with the money he earns he should be able to buy materials or better tools to keep on doing his task.

My suggestion is Varrock, using the Varrock East Mine, the oaks and trees just NE of VEB and the yew close to the church. These should be fairly nice to start off with, as Copper, Tin, Oaks and Trees sell for quite high.

I chopped (well, my slave) Oaks and Trees in varrock not too long ago, and by the time i reached level 30 i had well over 50k, allowing me to buy a rune axe and all the different picks I'd need for mining.

This is my idea, but take a look at the world map and ask yourself what would be a good place. How many skills can you do in that place? Gatherer skills and non-gatherer.

Looks awesome, and I really like the idea of taking it slow. I just hope our ideas of slow aren't too different. :p I do have two additional locations that can possibly be used:


I added two circles in there:
  1. Red/Blue circle south-west of VWB - This spot has 3-4 Oak trees that are all close together, and very close to a bank. I remember when I first played RS, that's where I trained my woodcutting for a while. It is also where I gathered Oak logs for construction.
  2. Red circle just north-west of VEB (the water fountain). Since it's pretty close to the bank, I figure we could possible use it for vial/bucket filling. Pretty simple I'd say.
I was also thinking… what about quests that take place in Varrock? I haven't done F2P quests in a long time, but I'm sure there are one or two that don't go outside Varrock. Just a thought. :)

Let me know what you guys think,

Looks good :)

I think that the Romeo and Juliet quest is all pretty much going back and forth between a few people in Varrock, right? Maybe that's another possibility.

Quests could be useful, but i wouldn't say they are a priority unless they serve a big advantage (a big boost in skills, access to a new location, etc). Otherwise, quests are a one time thing.

Nice suggestions for Varrock, Coh3n.

Can you guys perhaps analyse other cities such as Fally, Draynor, Lumby, AK, etc?

Yeah I was just thinking quests could be the last thing. As in when we're done all the skills, quests could just be something extra. And I have all afternoon to do nothing, so I'll make some diagrams of the other cities. :)

EDIT: Here's Draynor:


Here's Lumbridge:


Al Kharid:


Falador:


Edgeville/Barbarian Village:


You have any questions about what's going on at which location, I'm on MSN. :)

Dang you Coh3n. I had already done most of those, but had to go to the doctor so I didn't get to finish :p

Well, Karamja Fisher + banker, rimmington mine, rimmington willow chopper + seller would be good ones too.

Maybe an edgevil smither as well for people who completed the achievement thing. It's the closest furnace to a bank.

There is another good location in Varrock East:
There are plenty of trees there.

Ah yeah! I forgot all about Rimmington, and just didn't get to the Karamja one. Also, I meant to circle the furnace in Edge, but apparently I missed it. :duh:

From looking at these maps, I havent seen a outside bank firemaker. It could be done at: Varrock Eastern Bank, Falador Eastern Bank and also Draynor would be a decent one to do to. (According to the Compass direction of those maps).
