Quick Start Guide To Rs Classic / RSC

So Runescape Classic has started again, and now it seems it will be for the last time. Let's make it fun. In this quick start guide I'll adress 3 questions; How to make money, What type of account you should make and lastly a few pointers.

How To Make Money

There are a couple of good ways of making money that I know of, with combat being the most effective by far. You can kill unicorns for their unicorn horns, they are worth 1k each. You may kill all sorts of monsters for a little money. I have not played rsc for long enough to tell you the best places. A good reasoning thought would be to think about monsters that and their drops in runescape 2, they will often have the same drops  or similar drops. Though The best reason to kill npc's for money is that you do two things in same time; getting combat up and  building your stack.

Staking is also another profitable way to make money, and it works great with making gold via killing npcs, since you will need to train combat. You can win a lot as well as loose a lot but staking can be really fun.

You can also merchant, which works well with staking. Most people hang out, trade and stake in draynor. It is like the equivalent of the world  1 grand exchange.

You may also fish, mine, and more but they are of a more boring order. Well at least from my perspective. Another skill that makes a lot of money is herblaw. You can make super potion sets at the cost of 10k gold pieces and sell them retail at 100k each, or sell them in bulk for around 50k each.

What Type of Account/Fighter to Make

Be weary than in RSC, Magic levels your combat level just like prayer does. Every 8 magic levels equal one combat level, no matter what your other levels are. Note that a lot of people stake with magic off. In RSC, magic is very powerfull. Sometimes you see can see mages around combat 40-50 stake against maxed fighters that are level 110 or so. You may also want to stay one prayer since most people stake with prayer ticked off.

You may also make a 1 defence pure. They are fun and are quite good stakers even against mains or tanks. They can be very good for player-killing as well since their low combat level and high offensive stats give them the best chance to 3-hit their opponent. Some people choose 10 defence for the fancy black armor, but I prefer not having that, since you will be limited to always wearing that.

Another good option would be to make a 40 defence "pure". At 40 defence, it becomes easier to train. You can afk train for 5 minutes on giants, spiders, hobgoblins and plenty of other monsters, plus you can wear rune armor. For one thing, afk training sounds interesting, since you can do your homework, type a word document or do other internet-related things while your character is gaining combat levels. An important notice though, is make sure you stay low defence at first, and complete the quests that need to be completed in order to get the dragon battle axe. The dragon battle-axe is the weapon that hits the highest in runescape classic.



Other things to watch out for (add your tips in the comments)

If you don't want defence xp, train on agressive (strenght xp) or accurate (attack xp). When you first log on, try to find a monster that has less hitpoints than your maximum hit. And for that purpose take off any weapon and amulet. If you are pretty sure that the npc you are about to attack has more hitpoints than your maximum hit, then attack it and quickly switch to agressive (or accurate). Every time you log on, you will be fighting on controlled by default, so watch out.

Wining your attack; I think hp can be usefull, but some people who do not want hitpoints - for the sake of bringing their combat level too high - train their attack with wines or beers on dummies. They temporarily bring their attack level low enough (under level 7) so that they can hit the dummy and gain attack experience. You may do that all the way up to level 99 attack if you wish, provided that you have a good stock of wines/beers.

Good luck! If you've recently started rsc, I hope that this short guide has helped you. If you've been playing for some time and want to leave more advice, please do so in the comments section. Have a good one!
