Clicking once every 30s or 1min doesn't always work for me if I'm working on other stuff. I'm not a good multitasker..

At what point is it better to afk contracts + bird runs once an hour? 84 farm, 71 hunter, 69 herb...

Some other stuff that works for me
NMZ easy
Shooting Stars
Karambwans fishing barrel (kinda)

Kind of thinking contracts bird houses would be most value for me, or maybe grinding nmz strength

Haven't unlocked daeyalt yet

I am working my way toward amethyst. That should be 2+ minutes now but I haven't done it yet

Amethyst is pretty nice after rebalance

daeyalt is good for semi-afk, but not what you are looking for. Fishing karams are very popular, but I think bad. You can buy karams so fast it feels like wasted time to fish them imo.

The one I have mostly been doing is like you mentioned with contracts / bird house runs. Once an hour or two I get on and take like 5-10mins to do them, then back off.

Amethyst and redwoods I haven't made it to yet, but hear they are good as well

I've just been shooting stars since the crafting XP will help out too

tidal swift
#

Woodcutting yews or magics in woodcutting guild is also a pretty decent “long afk” method, though I think shooting stars, combat training (NMZ or crabs), and farm runs/contracts/treehouses on cooldown are the most impactful afk methods.

Cannonballs and smelting gold w gloves at a regular furnace also not terrible for long afk

#

Afking also has opportunity cost so I'd avoid terrible methods like smelting gold with gloves at a furnace

#

Can't imagine smelting gold ore as afk, since its super super efficient at BF

Afk combats to 99, I sit at ammonites for hours at work. I just listen to the genocide of crabs until I hear silence and I know my aggression timer is up and I need to reset it. 2 clicks every 10 minutes.

modern raptor
#

Agree with crabs as a very good option

analog vapor
#

also sand crabs are generally better than ammonite

reef sparrow
#

Damn I didn’t know. Mind linking a video for NMZ setups for afk xp? Also why Sand crabs?

analog vapor
#

sand vs ammonite is the same xp but sand is less competitive. You can lose a lot of xp to busy worlds/hopping/crashers

#

I dont have a vid for nmz but I do have a .txt

#

afk hard rumble is the good one

modern raptor
#

I enjoy the fossils from ammonites, will probably go nmz after thst

reef sparrow
#

I find NMZ not afk enough for me, having to worry about keeping my hp at 1 or 2. But Sand crabs I may try.

#

Isan makes a good point, fossils are really nice too.

analog vapor
#

if you are going to compare methods id recommend learning them first

#

dont invent your own and then complain about it

#

if you scroll up I shared a guide there with more information

reef sparrow
#

I read the guide, I’m not talking about overloads I’m talking about the absorbs. You still want to camp 1hp to maximize absorbs. Also that’s why I said for me, I have “OCD” tendencies and knowing I could just glance at osrs and double click my quick prayer would bug me not too.

analog vapor
#

No, you do not want to camp 1hp

reef sparrow
#

What am I missing?

analog vapor
#

you go back to 1hp at least once every 10-12 minutes

#

not every minute

reef sparrow
#

I see. I interpreted that as once every couple minutes or whenever you happen to look at your screen click rock, click potion. Which as I said before my stupid brain has an issue with. Does this method profit NMZ points for the absorbs out of curiosity?

analog vapor
#

yes you profit around 300k points/hr

reef sparrow
#

Neat. Thank you.

analog vapor
#

more if you want, you can swap out some xp for points

#

as detailed in the reddit link in the txt

acoustic wing
#

I mean if you are glancing at osrs every minute you might as well just do slayer

reef sparrow
#

Agreed or something of that nature, but that’s why I just do crabs. Personally**

#

Not sure why you would do crabs over nmz after 60, even regardless of xp you still gotta reset at crabs and can get crashed... worst case, nmz easy, less xp but can swap to 20 min afk cycles

#

Lots of good feedback, probably going to still mainly focus on birdhouse + farming contracts for now. Sprinkle in some nmz hard.

Seems like karams probably not worth it if you can shopscape so many and it's not that afk with bank+fairy. Cooking + glass later is probably fine as well. Not high enough for amethyst and redwoods.

Pre 72 mining/crafting I really liked stars, short/medium term I don't really need either at the moment so seems less worth it for now. And I have better afk alternatives.

When you unlock it, try Dark Crab Fishing in a High Risk world resource area.
40k-45k xp/hr very AFK.
Kill Ankou's in the Wildy for dark fishing bait. Did 85-99 and banked 50k raw crabs.

Nice I got a bit of dark fishing bait so might check this out later

echo sorrel
#

Nearly all of my maxing was done with afk methods whilst playing other games. The Dark Crab one was by far the most underrated. All the others are 'mainstream' and well known. But Crabs is slept on imo.

tyty, gona give this a shot when the next FFXIV expansion drops haha

echo sorrel
#

When I did it I didn't experience many players in High-Risk worlds. I think I died maybe 20-30 times total from 85-99

#

Was getting 35k-40k xp/hr minimum. Considering Barb fishing is 60k xp/hr or something like that if done casually. I felt like the -20k xp/hr sacrifice for +AFK and +Hard 22hp food for the rest of the account's existance was very worth it. But it depends how much you value AFK time.

#

Use wilderness Player Alarm to flash screen for PKers.
If the pker is in low risk, run to axe hut with lockpick
If pker is in higher risk, run east toward Chaos Ele. The multi line is very close and running to the multi line 95% of PKers will off you

#

There's also an Afk Agility method but it's bad xp/hr and only really good at low levels

#

Lvl35 Agil 90 def tank lasted 27 mins at 3k xph
https://discord.gg/K2gHRswVdb
XpH is 100x your Agi level aprox

Higher Agil might result in shorter afk time, as success rate might jump all traps in a row, but higher xph rates

Traps (lvl 88con) on a corridor with thzaar range mob at the end keeps your auto retaliate running back nonstop troug...

Love the fact that the poh method exists, old poh stuff is so jank lmao

echo sorrel
#

Hardly anyone speaks about the method though. I had to do so much of my own research to find out it wasn't worth it at high Agil

How much xp at like 65 agi you think?
