Hi guys,
So someone posted this on Reddit and I think it's a very useful guide someone has made that hasn't been done before. They basically created the most efficient route to getting the quest cape on a brand new account. This also works for ironman accounts. This is so useful because it gives you a very clear path of what to train and when to train it, while unlocking the entire game as well. By the end of it you'll have high stats and a quest cape, with a clear understanding of what you're going to do next.
Original Reddit link is:
Pasted below is the contents
-This guide is built to maximize efficiency and minimize training time. The order was selected by choosing the quest that gave the most experience with the fewest untrained requirements. Combat level requirements for bosses were generated with estimations based on RS's combat formulas.
-Some levels are trained to gain items as an Ironman that can be bought if not an Ironman [Ex. 58 Hunter on Desert Treasure]. In addition, occasionally combat stats are trained much higher than necessary to minimize the risk of death on an HCIM [Ex. Nomad]. If you are not an Ironman/HCIM, you can skip these levels. [Sorry, though, they're not marked. I can't do everything =( ]
-This guide does not consider XP gained from post-quest rewards not directly obtained from completing the quests [unless it's very simple like talking to a random NPC, with no further skill requirements], or training one stat giving XP in another stat. If you want to gain these post-quest rewards, you can pick it up when the guide tells you to train that stat.
-Stat boosts are never assumed to be used, though you can use them if you want. This guide lists training levels assuming no boosts are used.
