Training my level 3 skiller

Getting started:
When you create your character you can get some money to start off with by looting the chest where the roaches are and the chests in The Stronghold of Security. Bring some trout with you to the stronghold because there are a few agressive monsters in there. The wild is fairly safe for a lvl 3 because most revs will not attack you. You can make some trips to Red Dragon Isle to collect whiteberries to sell. There are a few whiteberry spawns near the red dragons.

To avoid getting combat experience accidentally, weild a bow but no ammo for it, also keep auto retaliate turned off.

Fill your toolbelt with all the tools you can get.

Getting around is more difficult as a skiller. Use teletabs and jewelry that has a tele on it. Some are Skills necklace, Games necklace, Ring of dueling, ring of wealth, amulet of glory, Grand seed pod. The wicked hood will tele you to various rc altars.

Most of your early skilling can be completed right in Lumbridge. Lumbridge has a range and a spinning wheel. Cut trees and fletch or burn the logs. Catch fish and cook them. You can spin wool and flax at the spinning wheel on the second floor in Lumbridge Castle.

Quests that it is possible to complete as a lvl 3 skiller:
Other quests may be possible by using rings of recoil or having a friend help with the combat parts. One strategy is to hit a monster first but then have your friend wear a ring of recoil to kill it. That way your hit will be the most damage done and you will get the kill.

Notes on specific skills:

Hunter: Feeding ogleroots to the rabbits in the minigame vinesweeper gives 30 hunter exp each rabbit. Its a good way to start hunter because this skill starts slow at leveling.

Woodcutting:
Save all the logs you cut for either making planks for construction, fletching or firemaking. When going to the lumberyard watch out for the smuggler who will attack you everytime you go there. Stay close to the bar area and then walk over to the lumberyard.

Fishing:
Fly fishing lvl 20 It is possible to fly fish all the way to 99. If you want to fish lobster for more cash then start them at lvl 60.

Crafting-
Colin and I weren't members when we started leveling crafting. We mined quite a bit of clay and made bowls. Then we bought the ingredients for stew. The stew sold at a surprisingly high price.
spin wool, lvl 1
spin flax, lvl 10
craft holy symbols, lvl 16
make unpowered orbs, lvl 46
craft green dragonhide bodies, lvl 63

Smithing:

iron knives, lvl 22
steel bars, lvl 30
addy bolts, lvl 73
addy arrowtips, lvl 75

You will also get fletching experience if you add feathers to the bolts or add arrowtips to arrows.

Mining:
Mining is a competitive skill and you will have to be aggresive in getting ores to mine. Always lots of people mining iron, bank as much of it as you can to save for smithing. Scorpions mine in Al kharid is not a safe mining spot for lvl 3s.
A favorite mining spot of mine for iron is right outside the entrance to living rock cavern by the summoning oblisk, there are 2 iron ores and you can bank in lrc.

When you can mine gold save it all for smithing gold bars and then use the gold bars for crafting unstrung amulets. 3 skills ftw :p

Runecrafting: Get a wicked hood in Varrock square and add all the talismans to it for some rc exp. You get some free ess from the hood each day as well as 2 free teles to a rc altar. If you can get people to run ess to you at the law altar it is worth not having to run there.

Air Runes lvl 1
Earth Runes lvl 9
Law Runes lvl 54

Now that Rune Span has been released rc training is significantly easier for skllers.


Farming: Consider learning to play Vinesweeper minigame for farming exp. Buy farming supplies at the garden shop beside the farming patch in Catherby and add to your toolbelt, also add tools to your leprechaun. Make supercompost by adding 15 pineapples to the compost bin. You can buy cheap pineapples on the dock in Catherby by talking to Ahreim. I use 3 farming patches as a lvl 3 skiller: Catherby, Fally, and Ardy. Use skilling necklace to tele to fishing guild and run east to get to the Ardy patch. Use teletabs to go to Cammy and Fally for those patches. Any produce you grow collect in baskets to use as payments for farmers. Baskets can be bought in the garden shop in Catherby or woven on the loom in the farm house in Fally using willow branches. While you are running to different patches keep your eyes open for places to fill up your watering can. There is a water pump outside the barber in Fally. There are fountains in Fally, Varrock and Cammy. If you are at the ardy spot with no water you can find a fountain by running north. I started out planting potatoes lvl 1, Marigolds lvl 2, cabbages lvl 7, tomatoes lvl 12, corn lvl 20. Marigolds sell at a high price and protect some produce from disease so continue planting them in the flower patch. I don't start planting herbs til lvl 32 Ranar but you can plant the lower herbs if you want to.

At level 15 start planting Oak Trees at each of the 5 tree patches in Fally, Taverly, Varrock, Lumby and the Gnome Stronghold. Pay the farmer a basket of tomatoes to watch them so they won't die. Grand seed pod, they are expensive but it keeps you from having to walk to the Gnome Stronghold and gives a bit of farm exp also. (I have a more complete guide on planting trees in another post on this forum) You need to start tree seeds in a plant pot first and then plant the seedling in the tree patch.

When you have the levels for it the most cost effective way to train farming is to plant maples and orange trees. (calculated by Red)



Dungeonering:
Make sure shared exp is turned off and go with a high lvl friend who will do the combat for you.There are clans who help skillers train dung.
