The second version of my latest article called “Runescape – best spots to train skills” has arrived. This new version has some major updates, it’s more organized, shows new places and tricks for you to train your Runescape F2P skills quicker, just read and see.
Attack, strenght, defence, hitpoints
Way 1 for low level players: well, there is no special place to train your combat when you’re a low level. There are weak monsters around Lumbridge that you can train on, such as cows, mans, goblins, bears, etc.
Way 2 for middle level players: Guards from the main cities such as Varrock and Falador should be good. If you did the dragon slayer quest, you can fight skeletons, inside Crandor cave.
Outside the crandor cave, in the isle, there are moss giants level 42, they have high hp and low defence, that way you can do massive damage to them, and win good xp.
They drop big bones, useful for you to train prayer. They may drop other items too, such as black sq shields, mithril swords, uncuts, magic staffs, some money, etc.
Way 3 for high level players: If you did the dragon slayer quest, you may reach crandor cave trough karamja volcano, walk around and you will see some strong lesser demons good for you to train. Rarely they drop rune med helms and other stuff too.
The stronghold of security: The stronghold is one of the best places; there are various monster levels, from weak ones to strong ones. The stronghold is in Barbarian village.
Ranged
You may as well follow the instructions of “attack, strength, defence, hitpoints” don’t forget that with ranged you can shot enemies from afar so train wisely.
Don’t shot enemies caged, at the top of mountains, ect, or you may not be able to retrieve your arrows; And buying new ones is time and money wasted.
Hide behind rocks and shot enemies from there, their artificial intelligence isn’t good enough for them to turn around the rock and attack you.
If you’re low level or mid level, you can train in dwarves mines in falador against scorpions, hide behind rocks and attack them. This was only an example.
Don’t forget to pick up your arrows after battle.
Additional information given by dfnk: there are a billion places, but the best is under Edgeville against hill giants, or against guards in Varrock castle roof.
Prayer
Way 1: This is the best way, go to the champion’s guild, kill chikens, and grab their bones. This is good because there are many chikens, they quickly respawn, and with only 1 attack you kill them, so you collect bones very fast. Collect bones until you have full inventory and bury them all. Since you’re there you might as well grab their feathers and then sell.
Way 2: North of Varrock, in wildy, there is a place called chaos altar, that place is surrounded by bones, and they respawn quick. You have to take caution and beware of pkers. It’s advised to leave all your stuff in the bank.
Way 3: Northeast of Lumbridge there is a cow field. Kill cows and grab their bones. Since you’re there you might as well grab their cowhides for your crafting training.
Way 4: If you’re strong go to Crandor Island and kill moss giants, grab their big bones and bury them for good xp.
A small secret: If you’re training in crandor against moss giants, collect a good quantity of big bones in your inventory, now bury them all at once, if you’re lucky, a guy will appear and teleport you to an cemetery for a random event, where you can win zombie cloths, and zombie mask.
Magic
You can follow the instructions of “ranged” it works to. But with magic, you can, attack caged enemies, and enemies at the top or at the bottom of mountains, that way you don’t need food because they won’t attack you.
Even if you’re high magic level, train your magic with basic spells, so that way you don’t waste money buying expensive runes.
I always trained in wizard tower (south of draynor village) against the caged lesser demon. Cast basic fire spells on him. If you run out of runes, you can buy more in port sarim. Sometimes they drop rune med helms that you can pick with telekinetic grab.
Players train there too, so its fun to train and chat at the same time.
If you want the demon just for yourself, try a world less crowded.
Runecrafting
Go to the Varrock magic shop and teleport yourself to the rune essence place.
Mine until full inventory and deposit the essence in the Varrock bank. Do this, until you have lots of Rune essence. Now go to Falador, grab an air talisman, and transform the rune essence on air runes in air altar near Falador. I pick that altar for being the closer of a bank.
