      IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137    | I've got a decision to make. I want both 95 Prayer and 96 (92/94) Herblore. I plan on getting both, but it's a matter of which I get first. I don't solo PK much, but on occasion I do like to just muck around. I am generally doing a lot more boss hunting than PvP stuff. Given that, it seems like I should just go for 96 Herblore first, but 95 Prayer is incredibly useful, and also significantly cheaper than 96 (or 92/94) Herblore. I've been saying I'd do Prayer first, but each time I think about it, I can't really see myself using it as often as I'd be using Overloads/Extremes. But then price comes into question again. If you think I should do Herblore, what method do you think would be best? After talking with JC, making PPots seems to be pretty reliable in terms of costs. Buy 1k supplies, make 1k pots and then sell back and make another 1k (I'd probably have to make them all (4) dose to actually sell, but that shouldn't make me lose anymore, right?). I figure I'd do that until 81, then make Sara Brews until 84 and then after that, not sure what I'd do. Any and all help/advice is welcome. --------------------   | ||

Very very useful and boss hunting will eventually pay for everything if you are dedicated. Do extremes then make overloads. I heard a stew can boost a few herb lvls to maybe make overloads early. --------------------   | ||

If that's right, is making ppots the best way to go about leveling up to 81? Is making brews still a worthwhile training method? It seems like after I get to the point of making extreme sets, I'd be losing loads of money until I start boss hunting. -------------------- | ||

| IRC Nickname: Evil_9116 Group: Ex-Member Posts: 117 Member No.: 2222 Joined: February 1, 2010 Total Events Attended: 11 | I'd do Prayer; Extremely useful in all occasions. Useful in Slayer, all Combat Skills, PvP Minigames, Boss Hunting, Tanking, PvPing, and at the Official Wars. Also, Herblore won't come so handy in F2P  --------------------  | ||

| IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | My main reason for not doing Prayer first is because the things I do most often get more use out of higher Herblore. I like to TD, and really the only praying you do there is Melee/Magic/Ranged. Having consistent 125 combat stats for 5 minutes, as well as Super Prayer potions would make TDing ridiculously easy. At the same time, I like to go Armadyl (solo usually, but in teams as well) and it seems like I'd be better off with 82 Prayer (enough for Deflect Ranged, Leech Ranged+Defense+Magic) and Overloads, rather than 95 Prayer and regular ranged potions. But at the same time, I realize that Prayer is incredibly useful, both in P2P and F2P. So therein lies the problem. -------------------- | ||

Which are untradeable, so why would that be a good thing? if anything that means herblore will be more expensive to train  --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||
Prayer or Herblore?
