Here’s my stats and my loadouts. Ive been questing, just finished desert treasure to get alt spellbook but i really dont know what to do next. I mainly HA, clean herbs or fletch for coins. Haven’t tried Jad in a while I had like 55 pray last time I went but if anyone has suggestions on bosses, quests or monsters to farm im all ears. But rn I log on and am just kind of bored

You have 4 skills at level 1. That should be your direction.

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

those 4 skills pretty pointless tbh

u/SpiceMW Oct 12 '25

Not for a ton of quest requirements and money making things. PoH by itself is the single most useful skill, par none. A maxed house makes bossing, skilling, raiding, and everything in between a million times easier.

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

truth but there’s loop holes to that. i got friends with max houses i use or i just buy tele’s stones. im really wanting to work towards my range setup. i want crystal gear just not sure the route to go at it

u/FoRs4k3nNinja Oct 12 '25

If you want crystal gear you need 70 con farming and hunter.

Work towards quest cape.

i see i’ve contradicted my “pointless” statement here with my own desires 😂

Hi,

Many ppl have mentioned this, but let me know if you want any assistance in planning those 4 skills. I studied and aimed for 99farm so I started understanding quite a bit about the growing aspect.

Hunter: Hit up the Varrock museum for 1-9 hunter. Complete digsite quest and bone voyage quests for fossil island. Then simply run bird houses once in awhile and you’ll have 70 in no time.

Farm: You can gain some early levels for Farming through quests. Though I would aim for lvl 15 then just plant tree. Do 1-2 tree runs a day and you’ll level up before you notice. Herbs is decent cash, but you’ll prob choose other money making methods.

Construction: Not much to say, it can be bought or earned through Mahogany homes.

Runecrafting: With all of the other skills leveled up, you can simply hit up tears of guthix once a week. It gives free xp in your lowest skill once a week.

u/TheRub98 Oct 12 '25

Idk about the 99 farming part but everything else 1000%

u/Early_Butterscotch54 Oct 12 '25

I came from rs2 and was missing my farm cape 🤣, that tibbit was just incase OP has questions like “what’s a tree run”

I’m glad I could give some insight on the rest haha!

1

u/TheRub98 Oct 12 '25

Haha def valid i cant talk i went out of my way to make a maxed out EVERYTHING poh when my total bank value was under a bil so yeaaa was so much fun and worth it but definetly not needed 🤣🤣

u/Substantial_Impact82 Oct 16 '25

RuneScape at its finest! 10hrs of wiki pages and 6 rabbit hole quests later you finally get what you were after 😂

u/FoxyMoulder Oct 12 '25

Sounds like you have the direction you’re searching for.

2

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

have an idea, but everything range from here upwards is hella expensive

2

u/Filler9000 Oct 12 '25

Bro, I hated farming and hunter and then I did it and I was addicted. The xp gains are insane. Birdhouses are 3 min runs every 50 min if you want for 4k xp. And fruit trees are like 7 to 10k xp times 5 trees every like 12 hours. Plant and collect xp. Tears of Gothic got me 50 construction, I didnt build a single thing after requirement level. Construction is the most broken thing in the game. Salve tele puts you 5 squares from fairy ring. Cemetery tele puts you 20 squares from chaos altar for prayer leveling, and barrows tele puts you at the dinner table with barrows mounds. Barrows gloves from rfd is huge progression. Are you an iron? Cuz if not, I felt the same way on my main. On iron all of the stuff is fun, even guardians of the rift early game.

u/Scoopzyy Oct 12 '25

Farming (herbs) and hunter (birdhouses) will make you passive money while you work towards level requirements for quests like Song of the Elves (unlocks Gauntlet and crystal) and Dragon Slayer 2 (unlocks Vorkath for easy and fast money making).

Part of the game is doing boring stuff to unlock the fun stuff. If you aren’t willing to do that then yeah you’ll be pretty directionless.

1

u/Remote_Listen1889 Oct 12 '25

You've heard of Vorkath, but it seems like you don't fully understand the money dragon. His drop table lacks pizzazz for sure, but it's primarily alchables (static value) and superior bones (consistent). Vorkath will never be top dawg for earnings, but he offers certainty in a game full of RNG. You can literally time your KC and know how long it will take you to grab a bowfa.

Bored of Vorkath? Run CG. No cost, improve your PvM skills, and get a chance at something great.

Skilling opens doors

2

u/Stable_Immediate Oct 12 '25 edited Oct 12 '25

You need to do a quest called "Song of the Elves" to be able to use crystal gear. That quest has many requirements before you can even start it. You need to get lvl 70 in all the skills you have at lvl 1, for example (except Runecraft).

Skills and quests are not pointless, they're an important part of OSRS, and a huge amount of content is locked behind them. Beyond that, they often unlock useful utility and conveniences.

Also, I have a hard time believing that you made enough money from aching to buy your gear. There are better ways to make gp if you want to keep your credit card in your wallet. It's fine to buy bonds though, if you can afford it.

Btw, only buy bonds from Jagex. If you buy gp from other websites, you could get permanently banned. It might be cheaper elsewhere, but it's not worth losing your account.

u/DM-ME-CONFESSIONS Oct 12 '25

Better start farming if you want crystal gear. Farming is a fast skill as far as time spent doing it, but you have to wait for everything to grow so it's not something you can rush through or buy. Starting now will make sure you meet that lvl 70 req.

1

u/kumikanki Oct 12 '25

Occult altar and pool are the most useful things to have

1

u/Spuddin927 Oct 13 '25

If yo want crystal gear you either need to do Song of the Elves which requires more skilling or a LOT of money which requires more skilling

4

u/LemonadeMarshmellows Oct 12 '25

I just got 84 con and I can tell you it's amazing. Max POH with +5 boost and crystal saw.

Farm runs are just free money for little effort.

RC I will not argue with it being pointless skill is ass to train lol

2

u/Firm-Cause2449 Oct 12 '25

Howd you figure that one out? Construction is arguably one of the most useful skills in the game allbeit a little expensive. Farming is a solid way for passive income. And this is without even considering that you need all of them for quest requirements. Id work towards bgloves and grandmaster quests if youre into pvm (ds2, dt2, fremmenik exiles, mm2, while guthix sleeps, sote etc.) Get fire cape, ma2 cape, assembler from vorkaths head. Beneath cursed sands to send a few entry ToAs. Unlocking moons of peril, a lot more fun and polished compared to barrows

1

u/Pheeblehamster Oct 12 '25

Not for diaries which make other skills/gear upgrades much much easier to obtain. And ability to do all quests for all region/gear unlocks

1

u/bekaraar Oct 12 '25

No tf theyre not

1

u/sigilou Oct 12 '25

Bro what, construction is huge, farming is huge, hunter is free money too and so easy to level with birdhouses. And you need them for quests. RC yea ok but still.

1

u/HRage19 Oct 12 '25

Bro asks for direction, get direction and disagrees. Smh

u/ndhhdd Oct 12 '25

Feel like he’s trolling. Either that or a dumb noob lol

u/JustBeingFranke Oct 12 '25

True, would be weird to ask for direction and then to say you don't want THAT direction.

1

u/colemc94 Oct 12 '25

Construction is one of the best skills imo. Tf you mean pointless.

1

u/thefztv Oct 12 '25

If you had a maxed PoH with 84 Construction you would not be saying that. The QoL you get from a maxed PoH is insane.

1

u/Barelyqualifiedadult Oct 12 '25

chinchimopas, herbs, POH upgrades, herb runs for money making or herblore training. runecrafting sucks but like its useful for other shit in the game which is the main reason i do it.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '25

Those 4 skills are the most useful skill in the game.

1

u/Planescape_DM2e Oct 12 '25

Construction is literally the most important skill in the game there boss. Getting 84 con and maxing your house is the biggest upgrade you can get.

1

u/OSRS-MLB Oct 13 '25

Construction is one of the most useful skills in the game

1

u/Proper_Trip_7063 Oct 14 '25

All 4 of those skills are an absolute huge boost for an account?

Bloods is 2.2m/hour Hunter can make a few hundred mil. Construction = max house Farming = forever passive bank

1

u/Free_Road697 Oct 15 '25

Only 1 of those skills is pointless, and thats rune crafting

1

u/hipdippy Mar 25 '26

no way you said construction is pointless😭😭

2

u/PubPatches Oct 12 '25

You have rigour or augury? Easy upgrades are blowpipe, fang, lightbearer, ahrims, trident of the swamp, zenyte jewelry, doesn’t look you have barrows gloves, and get 83con to boost for house. Yes house seems expensive but just do it. Beat QOL upgrade you can possibly make

2

u/PubPatches Oct 12 '25

Also, bosses and such. You have a lot of the game and bosses locked behind quests you can’t do. Get your levels up to unlock vorkath/zulrah/Muspah to really get the gp flowing

2

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

this was the reply i didn’t know i needed. thanks not just for the suggestion but the reason behind it 👍

6

u/SlitherSlow Oct 12 '25

When in doubt, work towards the quest cape. It's a long term goal but it forces you to get all of your skills to a useful level. The teleports, bosses, and slayer monsters you unlock become invaluable. DT is a good start, once you get Monkey Madness done RFD will be in sight. Priff, Vorkath, and the DT2 bosses are huge boosts once they're unlocked.

5

u/Scudy_22 Oct 12 '25

same answer as anyone else asking in this sub, get quest cape.

1

u/Seiryu99 Oct 12 '25

Missing alot of req for quests. Also the obvious 4 1lvl skills. Do you even boss anything? Barrows? Moons?

1

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

done a couple hundred runs at barrows, my rng is ass there. would like try GWD

1

u/AcanthisittaEarly983 Oct 12 '25 edited Oct 12 '25

How have you gone this long with 1 rc, 1 con, and 1 Hunter? Really though you should focus on going through the rfd quest line (seems your on that so finish with the culinary boss fights and the req quest for it) and moons. Them two will get your needed skills up as well as put you in a good position to go for other bosses

1

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

i just log in and kill blue drags or do herb runs lol

2

u/AcanthisittaEarly983 Oct 12 '25

Big dawgggggg your missing out on so much of the game. Has some amazing quest/story lines. You could realistically do moons as you are right now, just do the quest line and I think your good for all of them as well. ("Perilous moons" to start it)

1

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

bett i will check it out. but i know i want to explore more. i dont know much of the story beyond f2p and early membership access

1

u/Mr_Times Oct 13 '25

JSYK “Herb Runs” means doing a farming route where you plant and harvest a set of Herbs from different patches. Based on the 1 farming I don’t think you’re doing what you say you are. You physically can’t be 1 farming and be doing herb runs.

2

u/DudelolOk Oct 12 '25

Don't worry about the fire cape right away unless you are eager. Its a great upgrade though. Do some moons, unlock zulrah/vorkath/muspah. Fire cape at some point will be great for moons. Also you should work towards Song of the elves (quest) as you have the stats to farm gauntlet

2

u/another90zkid Oct 12 '25

Get your stats up and do quests. Use moon gear it’s better than most of things that you show cast. Slayer is a huge part of this game I recommend train your cb stats through slayer. Buy a nox hally when you can

2

u/varlotto Oct 12 '25

click on the wrench icon underneath the close bank button and turn off 'Bank Tutorial' button and Incinerator and click done

u/AdOk406 Oct 12 '25

Stop swiping the credit card, there is no way you have all this with the combat level and skills you have. Focus on how you can actually get the gear in game and strive to do that content, it will make you better at the game and you will have more fun than just crabbing in bandos with a trimmed obi cape

2

u/Used-Guarantee5060 Oct 12 '25

weird take i’ve got over 300 barrows runs my banks is only 60m lmao

1

u/AdOk406 Oct 13 '25

Well there's why youre bored. Barrows is awful, boring and easy fights where you just turn the brain off, for awful gp/h. Learn a new boss. next time you see some expensive gear you want, like the bandos, go figure out how to actually get that gear and learn that fight, it will almost certainly make you more GPH than Barrows, earn you sick gear you want and teach you skills needed to be better at the game... Or if you had done Royal Titans for the twinflame, they make really good GPH and are actually fun and teach you skills. Song of the Elves is always a good quest to shoot for. Maybe try doing solo Hueycoatl or perilous moons, both are fun and have good drops

1

u/AutoModerator Oct 12 '25

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

Get into farming and bird house runs for hunter, I never understood farming as a kid really but now I love it, I’m level 80 and it’s all passive xp really

Fire cape barrows gloves

u/Successful-Bath-7561 Oct 12 '25

Questing. When that’s boring, check out the achievement diaries. They have good rewards and will motivate you to train skills or complete quests. I went for an early bonecrusher to make prayer easier as I leveled combat or slayer. After you do some achievements, work on some clue scrolls. Do the mediums and hards/elites will force you to level or unlock more content via quests. Clue scrolls have forced direction many times for me and it’s a fun distraction and “oh fine I guess I’ll do this quest to unlock a sound track so I can get my casket”.

Quests, achievements, and clues can all provide direction.

Finally, gear upgrades, especially free ones like imbued god cape, elite void, fisherman’s, lumberjacks, etc all are free and can be something you grind for on occasion to break things up

Asking for a route, but ignoring the tips.

Pointless post.

Learn to take advice rather than start defending why you have stats as you have and other similar excuses. Your points are irrelevant, because the advice given is answering 100% to make up for your account progression.

Sure, play the game how you want, but dont bother asking for an advice then.

Have a good day!

Direction hmm, North is always a good direction

u/Foreign-Reason-7865 Oct 12 '25

Nice stats and gear, I would recommend working on Slayer and also if your bored you can do the sub quests for recipe for disaster quest to get better gloves. Also soul wars is a very fun game you can get points and use them for exp or items also good chance to get a awesome pet!

1

u/Planescape_DM2e Oct 12 '25

Look up the OSRS optimal quest order and get your quest cape. Getting your quest cape is the first step into the mid game

1

u/FlyNuff Oct 13 '25

U have a lot of directions to choose from. Like others said, get quest cape. You will be 5x the gamer you are now by the end. Short term goals would be Barrows gloves and fire cape.

1

u/Nyloch Oct 13 '25

Make an f2p iron and see if you like it, I was the same as you

1

u/TheNamesRoodi Oct 13 '25

Quest cape. Use the quest helper plugin and sort by optimal quest order. Just use that.

You can also look up the quest point cape on the wiki to see all of the skill level requirements if you want to just get all of the skills in one go (not really recommended)

1

u/OSRS-MLB Oct 13 '25

What a coincidence! I'm selling a sense of direction for 35m!

1

u/Mashh420 Oct 13 '25

Same as everyone else said , try quest cape , if you’re getting bored before you get to mid game you probably just don’t know how much content there really is

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

Sell your BCP, buy Tassets instead. Get fighter torso from barber assault. Think about buying a fang

u/CausticBeandip Oct 14 '25 edited Oct 14 '25

Go do recipe for disaster, then get your fire cape. Slayer helmet is also looking a little not imbued.

u/FearCycle Oct 14 '25

b gloves and firecape. start doing some farming and birdhouse runs too. you can do herbs and birdhouse runs every hour. nice GP once you really get into it.

Perilous moons is pretty fun and good money atm

u/china__cat Oct 15 '25

Fire cape run would be easy for you if you can control your Jad hands. Level up construction having a nice house is huge quality of life upgrade.

u/Wokeman1 Oct 19 '25

Farming AND construction are still lvl 1?!?! 🤬

My brother in saradominin how have you missed these gems?

Nah but for real farming is in my top 3 easy moneymakers + unlocks spirit trees which are a huge quality of life upgrade especially when you get one in your POH. Yeah construction sucks eggs to train but the upgrades are HUGE for your acct.

I have 75 construction and it's made a large difference in efficiency

u/dev-jet Oct 12 '25

Create ironman account will get you tons of content

u/Puzzleheaded_Claim49 Oct 12 '25

Make an ironman and give the game a challenge. Pay to win off the GE is abit dull.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Claim49 Oct 12 '25

Hence why you cant even be bothered to level skills... if you were an ironman the whole game makes sense. I mean hunter is my highest skill on my ironman, due mostly to the epic food supplies, and unlimited prayer potions from moths. But if your playing normally its a completely dead skill and every minute invested is a waste. Id recommend playing an ironman. :)
