I have a little over 1 mil stacked up and I kinda wanna dump a lot of it into MTA

I do NOT have a cannon yet, trying to avoid cannonball jail but willing to surrender myself.

I am chipping away at quests, SOTE is a ways out but a major goal obviously.

I just want to make sure I'm not missing some secret sauce for how early on I am

You 100000% do not need a cannon right now

#

Can wait until you're like 90+ slayer for smokes/arraxytes

#

Mta good, might wanna keep some gp to get teaks from kingdom and MH to 70 con

lyric atlas
#

there is no cannonball jail xd

drifting sun
#

Idk I just don't wanna be making cannonballs forever. Have a buddy that insists I should get a cannon and slayer boost immediately and I kinda disagree with the idea

#

Obviously very new to iron life lol

lyric atlas
#

ye the time spent is not worth it

#

at all

#

if u spent some time leveling farming and worked on making money and using money on smithing con and fletching you wouldnt be too far away from sote

I just started farm runs recently, been doing my seaweed/herbs/trees

Fletching I was planning on doing at trouble brewing bc it's just free XP

Smithing is probs one of my least favorite skills, any suggestions to ease the pain?

lyric atlas
#

you should tithe farm to 62 so you can do farming contracts, gives you seeds

#

seems like youve been doing bh runs so keep doing those unless the xp is from rumors

#

farming contracts are the secret sauce to ironman

#

if i had to choose something referring to ur original post

drifting sun
#

I have not crafted a single birdhouse

#

I enjoy rumours lol

lyric atlas
#

seaweed is only really good to farm once you're 76 farming

rigid pecan

#

since you can use attas seed for extra yield, its like twice the seaweed per run

its better to just make money and do faster methods with the money

#

youll only be poor in ironman gamemode if you choose to be poor

#

tb might be free xp but its slow

#

ye but farming it is so quick

#

once ur higher farming and attas

drifting sun
#

I gotcha

#

I'll read thru the faq stuff when I'm on break I appreciate the info dump

lyric atlas
#

ofc gl

rigid pecan
#

the farming guide wxightless posted has really good info, def worth a detailed read as well

drifting sun
#

It was a farming hater on my main but I'm slowly coming to love it on the iron

#

I got one more dumb question for you guys

calm gazelle
drifting sun
#

I'm working on wildy arch for RCB, MTA is in the pipeline so I'm familiar with my upgrade path for ranged/mage

calm gazelle
drifting sun
#

WTF do I do for melee past my dscim

drifting sun
faint ruin
calm gazelle
#

Even if you have it in your bank already, I'd recommend ignoring it

#

And banking it before 76 farming is not good

#

Id recommend doing tithe to 62 so it can start farming asap

drifting sun
#

Hasta is gwd right?

calm gazelle
#

Also fwiw regarding the original question - the longer you postpone slayer the better

faint ruin
calm gazelle
drifting sun
#

So melee upgrades are not in my near future lmao

calm gazelle
#

Hasta from kril (gwd)

#

Fang from toa

calm gazelle
drifting sun
faint ruin
#

There are alternatives if you for some reason decide to skip bowfa. But the optimal path is basically to rush bowfa in which case hasta is the best next progression

drifting sun
#

Haven't been grinding slayer just been loading up a task here and there to afk

calm gazelle
faint ruin
#

Better stats + gear = faster slayer xp

calm gazelle
#

There's a list of recommended unlocks by 58 slayer in the slayer guide in #1052266500041478246

drifting sun
faint ruin
#

Good

drifting sun
#

Yee I know I need to dig around the server and read thru stuff. Just have been free balling the iron up until recently

faint ruin
#

I don’t think that’s a bad approach for most enjoyment early on

#

It’s just that a lot of the traps you can fall into really punish you later on

drifting sun
#

Is moons worth doing early or nah

faint ruin
#

Not at all

#

I just did it for fun

#

The moons path btw is to do toa really early for shadow

#

And then use shadow instead of bowfa

drifting sun
#

Id rather do cox ngl

calm gazelle
#

You can't really do cox early

drifting sun
#

I know ;-;

rigid pecan
drifting sun
#

Coolio I'll update my to do list and do some reading. Any suggestions or whatever is welcome. Just trying to be more focused when I log in

#

Spent the last few days kinda just afking thieving

calm gazelle
#

Id look into farming asap

faint ruin
#

Contracts + birdhouse runs good

drifting sun
#

I know it's a shit take but I really don't love bh runs.and I genuinely enjoy doing rumours (also want pet) but I don't think I need to grind hunter anymore unless I want to try and do the dragon imp thing

#

Forget what bh runs drop for you tho besides xp

#

If anything at all

rigid pecan
#

level suggestions for cg are lvl 100 combat in melee stats, 92 range via catching and tossing chins in mm2, and 80-something mage, just to keep in mind for the future

tldr for your current spot wrt farming:
Quest to 34 farming quest (already done) -> Tithe farm minigame to 62 farming skillFarming -> Start doing medium farming contracts with bought garden pies from cooks' guild Seedpack

faint ruin
#

You want to catch chins for ranged xp

drifting sun
#

Yea I've been banking chins passively from rumours.

Tithe farm was already on my radar so I think that'll be my next big sit down

lyric atlas
#

bh runs are better than everything else except chins and master rumors xp/hr wise and are more efficient for birds nests for brews (herb xp and need them)

rigid pecan
#

^ best is to delay hunter rumours till at least lvl 91 hunt

faint ruin
#

This is one of the traps I talked about that will punish you later on. You need a large supply of bird nests for brews

drifting sun
#

Birds nests for brews say less

#

Yee I knew I was gonna run into stuff like that but that's why I'm here asking lol

hushed haven
#

I'm 98 slayer, 200k from 99, and I never used a cannon until 92 slayer for araxytes

drifting sun
#

Gotr a trap or am I better off with actual focused runecrafting

faint ruin
#

Gotr for outfit and needle at 65 rc and then never again

drifting sun
faint ruin
#

Also maybe ring of elements if you want that

#

Good for plank making

drifting sun
#

Aight I gotta go pretend to work I really appreciate it yall

#

I want to do all the qol stuff as an iron I avoided it for too long on me main

rigid pecan

#

you're also better off buying runes if u need them

And it assumes magic imbue, the lunar spell
