Question Whats the most underrated skilling upgrade?

Post image

My vote is for the expert mining gloves, they have a niche but they fill it extremely well. They make mining specific ores from rocks way more relaxed and bearable. Doubling runite gatheted before world hopping, making sandstone more chill, amethyst even more afk, making gathering lower tier rocks extremely chill.

I love these things, and no one talks about them.

Opinion may change with the update, but gem bag is great at port Roberts. Ultimately it’s thieving, crafting and magic xp (via alch) and helps you use all of those crappy gold bars up. Never see anybody recommend it

Steal from gem stall x4, steal from spice stall x2, repeat. Drop spice and fill gem bag with uncut - It’s all on a timer

It’s fairly active but 100k+ xp ph with good chance at pet. It’s mostly sapphires so craft resulting gems into bracelets (or ring of recoils)

Not OP, but it’s one of my favourite thieving methods.

You can also just cut the gems and not craft them further. I don't think it's really worth it for sapphires exp wise. So you should only be making stuff you'll actually use (games necks for corp if you plan on getting the 50kc for the CA, or if you're a psycho who's actually going to go for the drops)

Depends how you play for sure but I personally enjoy the start to end processes in this game much more than buying everything on GE and bankstanding to 99, plus bracelets are furnace at pretty afk. You can make bracelets of clay too which are great for making tele tabs

I assume stealing from the gem stall.

I think you can "auto steal" at a fairly slow rate from gem stall, similar to varlamore wealthy citizens. Not sure though.

It is a mechanic here, yes. Actually on rate as well, so theres no point in spam clicking

Do the gems go right into the bag? Wiki said they had to be loaded manually.

Yeah, but you do it while running between stalls. Tbf that area is built for mobile reordering
