Most Optimal Dailies

[final fern]

Hi all, I won't be able to play OSRS full-time for the next few months, and will only be able to hop on mobile once in a while for ~5 minutes at a time.

Which daily activity would be the most optimal for my skills? I was thinking I'd do hard farming contracts for 99 herblore, but perhaps my future PVM grinds will provide me with enough seeds for 99 herblore? (the only late-game PVM grind I've done so far is CG).

An other option is birdhouses for brews and hunter. Although I'm not sure if those are not as important in the long-run. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Contracts, birdhouse runs, those are probably the biggest two

if you can do both that'd be best.

once you can play more actively again you can get back on farm runs to actually plant the herb seeds from your contracts

and if you could only pick one? for the days where I literally only have a minute?

also, are contracts still relevant even with the pvm grinds coming up? like I heard TOA shits out seeds

[paper basalt]

um. i'd probably choose contracts. I don't know what's actually best.

Yes they are

They're still your fastest way to bank herblore xp to my knowledge

TOA provides a lot of toadflax and snaps iirc but you'll still wanna keep up with em

ty for the advice @paper basalt

i'd prob do tracts like hoppy said
until you have 94 banked
after that you can probably just do birdhouses
optimize the BH run, usually takes 72 seconds e2e
when I was super super busy with work I would just do 8 birdhouse runs a day
= 9 and a half ish mins of logged in time

if it's for several months you will easily bank ur herb goals

[final fern]

whats special about 94 herb?

ok so grind contracts until 94 herb, then focus strictly on bh

can make every single potion with a pie boost

you can stop at 93 if you don't plan on doing a lot of vorkath

93+4 is the req for divine SCB

[crude heart]

extended super antis are pretty unneccessary anyways tbh

[final fern]

would I likely get enough herbs for 99 doing late game PVM tho? Im looking at TOA drop table theres so many seeds

I really just think ill have time for either contracts or birdhouse

maybe i can do

one week contracts, one week birdhouse, and switch

[native fiber]

Yes but you want divine SCBs before you do PVM

Losing an inv slot to regular super attack + divine super strength just feels bad

(and is worse because your attack pot will decline over 5 mins and you don't get a defense boost)

[native fiber]

I liked to do each one all at once to avoid mentally context switching but yea whatever works

Like I would just dedicate a month of tracts
Then a month of herb runs
Then a month of birdhouse runs

Eventually got it all done with same in-game time since I couldn't dedicate much real-time per day to it

Prob logged in like basically 30 mins a day cumulatively, ofc broken up over like 6-8 actual logins

[final fern]

makes sense. what are tracts?

[native fiber]

contracts! sorry was just being lazy lol

[final fern]

lol no worries

thanks for the advice

i think robin dailies are good too if you have mory hard done

especially if you intend to use a lot of bonecrusher (i think that's pretty much just chinning?)

You only need to do a few days to have years worth of charges
