Question:
What do you make? Arrows? Bolts? Something else?
What would your ultimate goal be given the skills and supplies listed?

Bolts are more useful than arrows and they sell for around 350 each.

Bolts are better than darts and arrows. You can make the ruby tipped and have fun using them (the blood spell's fx is the best sound effect ever)

It depends what you want to do. Do you want to get your range level up as high as possible with those supplies or do you want to make as much gold as possible? Maybe you want to do to both simultaneously?

I'm not where you would want to range using adam bolts. If you go to metals, it won't be very affective at lvl76 range, you might as well melee them. Let's do some math first though.

1k adam bars can make either 10k bolts or 15k arrows.
10k bolts=3.4m
15k arrows= 2.25m

Bolts are definitely where the money is if you plan on selling them. They are good to range with as well and you wouldn't go through all that many if you were wearing ava's device. You could range blue dragons or if you wanted to try metals, go ahead.

I'd say go with bolts though. You would be able to sell the 100k shaft and 90k feathers for about 1.6m or so. If youy havn't already, do Animal Magnetism, it is a very easy quest and Ava's Device really helps.

i think it should be 10k bars and 100k feathers and shafts, and i would make bolts and make them ruby tipped enchanted and kill steel drags

Ok here's the deal. Those are my stats and supplies. As many of you know, I lost my bank (don't click random links duh) and I've spent the last couple of months just gathering schtuff.

Sure it'd be nice to have 10K addy bars but that ain't happ'nin'.

I'm not interested in making money. Never have, never will be. My ultimate focus has always been in increasing skills.

So now the question becomes, what gets me the most experience altogether? Ideally, I want to gain the most possible in all 3 skills of fletching, smithing, and ranging. Ideas?

BTW, I like the idea of blues because that will gain me additional crafting and prayer exp as a bonus not to mention the side drops.

In terms of raw experience, Darts give the most while fletching. Using those darts in turn to kill Blue dragons is a very good idea, since you can turn everything the dragon turns into experience for a single skill.

As well as that, make sure you have Ava's Accumulator if you try anything with any projectile. It'll pull back about 90% of your thrown weapons in your wielded slot, meaning more firepower per trip, and more kills per trip. Also comes with a handy ranged bonus.

I really appreciate the offer but since I do have halfway decent skills, I've used them to get back the stuff I need. I even turned down the stuff my son had so he gave it all away when he quit.

I just think there are people out there who need/want free stuff more than I do. Besides, what better motivation do I need to work on skills?

Thanks, but maybe you'll see someone out there who really needs a helping hand.

I understand Baakalor, I gave my items to my friends and I got more motivated to work on my skills =)

On topic, I used to train iron darts (made with iron ore+ring of forging+feathers) and they are good for killing in a cheap way.

Addy is expensive (addy ore+6 coal) and worths make ruby tipped addy bolts(e). You can hit easily 34 at range 83 (without pot)
