Combat skills should form the foundation of any maxing journey. Higher combat levels unlock better money-making methods, make questing easier, and allow access to RuneScape gold high-level content that helps fund expensive skills later on.
Rather than rushing all combat stats to 99 immediately, a balanced approach works best. Strength is typically prioritized first, as it increases maximum hit and speeds up training overall. Attack improves accuracy, while Defence increases survivability. Magic and Ranged are just as important and should never be neglected.
The most efficient way to train combat early is through Slayer. Slayer is widely considered one of the slowest skills in the game, but it offers a huge advantage: it allows multiple combat skills to be trained simultaneously while generating steady profit. Starting Slayer early means combat experience is earned naturally over time, rather than grinding it later when motivation may be low.
If Slayer reaches 99 before combat stats are finished, alternative methods like Nightmare Zone or Gem Crabs can be used to round things out.
Always Be Farming
Farming deserves special attention because it is entirely time-gated. Progress depends on real-world time rather than pure playtime, making it essential to work consistently from early levels onward.
Daily farm runs-trees, fruit trees, and herbs-add up significantly over time. Even minimal effort each day can eventually turn Farming into one of the easiest 99s on the account, provided it's started early and maintained consistently.
Woodcutting and Firemaking: Efficient AFK Progress
After establishing strong combat stats, Woodcutting is a natural next step. It's highly AFK and synergizes well with Forestry, which offers small amounts of experience in Construction, Hunter, Thieving, Fletching, and Farming through various events. While the bonus XP is minor, every bit helps on the path to maxing.
Using an Infernal Axe also provides passive Firemaking experience, which reduces the grind later.
Firemaking follows naturally after Woodcutting. Whether through saved logs or Wintertodt, Firemaking is one of the fastest 99s in the game. Wintertodt also provides small amounts of Construction and Fletching experience and can even generate profit, making it an efficient stop along the journey.
Fishing Before the True Pain Begins
Fishing is another long but manageable grind. Barbarian Fishing is one of the best methods for cheap OSRS gold reaching 99 without tick manipulation and offers passive Strength and Agility experience along the way. This helps chip away at Agility, one of the most dreaded skills.
