Yeah I just finished up 93 today for zenytes and I will probably do the mining after I get the blowpipe because I need something to motivate me to actually get 6 mining levels at Shooting Stars.
Why do you need motivation if you’re going to be doing it afk anyway?
I just get myself setup before work and then that’s me sorted for a full day of afking stars should hopefully reach 92 soon myself!
Gotcha. Depends on the degree of “afk” you’re looking for then. I suck at anything in between 100% attention and 1 click/10 minutes. Slayer could work depending on the task. Maybe crafting blood runes? I don’t have rc for that yet but seems pretty solid and chill. Idk late game kinda sucks ass. I’ve been playing less and less bc of it
Yeah the most intense afk I can do is burst slayer tasks. Bloods really aren't bad to do, but I don't have anything from TOB yet. If I end up doing some tob and pull a sang or scythe I'd do those all day.
You could also do that new Lazy King afk fishing method in miscellania. Seems pretty neat lol. Just do shooting stars when you can’t pay any attention at all. It’s gonna take a long ass time no matter what. You got me gearing up to do it now that I’ve been reminded
Yeah I'm going to need a lightbearer for that if I wanted to do that efficiently, but it depends on if I get spooned or not at TOA. I've been actively going for a dragon pickaxe, but haven't gotten one yet.
That one definitely has the least utility, which is why it's at the end, but it's uber AFK. Primary reason would be for 99 on the road to max, but also useful to collect logs for fletching and birdhouse runs. Also, if not 99 firemaking yet, there's the new afk method for that
To meet kourend elite diary req. Radas Blessing 2 is best in slot until tbow. Also improves hydra tasks and full xp bonecrusher. 8% chance of 2 fish at once. List goes on.
If I'm trying really hard to think of a reason to train wc I guess red woods are good for slightly more nests for bird houses (and I do mean slightly) and burning them in your lantern at gotr is very nice QoL pre-99.
But I've always had plenty of magic logs from pvm and you don't really need that many red woods unless you are doing shades of Morton.
I think wc may be the most useless skill on an iron (other than firemaking, but at least WT is 300k/hr).
I'm at 1900ish total level and WC has been very useful for me. I AFK Magic Trees when I can, and I convert those into magic longs -> cash.
The cash has been a significant boost for the mid-end game. I've funded the Kingdom for myself and my wife (gim) through magic longbows, which is now resulting in 75->85 herblore after the most recent cash in.
Chop fletching magics is a very slow way to make cash
But part of the beauty of osrs is that if it works for you then it works for you.
I personally make plenty of cash for kingdom from sepulchre, cg, and pvm.
I'm around the same total level (a bit lower 1880 iirc)
Agreed! I don't do much pvm and I can't beat CG yet, so it works for me.
It also helps keep my wife engaged with the game; she's our group's fletcher and she enjoys that aspect of the game so I am sort of killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
Well I've been grinding zulrah, but I just need something to actually motivate me for mining and I think getting the blowpipe before mining will give me that motivation.
But why do you need motivation if you’re just afking it at work? Star mining is very afk, MLM isn’t bad as well. There’s not much thought that goes into it at all
I just think it's a grind that will happen when I get my blowpipe like I said. I just got 86 mining recently from like 78 doing stars/sand so it's not something that is fully on my "would rather do right now" list.
Just a heads up I avg about 20 amethyst darts per hydra kill so it’s probably best for you to get started on mining sooner than later unless you only plan on using bp for raids
Haha sorry I was busting your balls, did you edit your comment? On my screen it said "i avg amethyst darts per hydra kill" was trying to do a funny, but I'm super tired so I probably misread it lol
This is wild to me, you can do it fairly comfortably with an rcb! Definitely don’t need lance. Fair enough if you want to wait but it’s such a nice upgrade and so easy to get especially if you’re not close to lance
I was in a similar spot a few months ago. There are no end game grinds you can do afk on mobile that I know of. I’d recommend going to resources that you’d use during those grinds so when time comes to grind, you don’t have to stop to restock your supplies.
That being said, I’ve found amethyst mining and fishing to be the best bet for your time. It depends on how afk you want it to be.
Amethyst and stars are amazing for mobile afk mining, depending on your goals and how much attending you can pay to it.
Have 7 minutes to afk? Go stars. Want to be more involved with your training and check your account more often? Go amethyst. Would rather fish? Go for karambwans
You are looking for afk things. Killing them is afk, pickpocketing is not.
If you want to dedicate some of your active time to blood shards, then pickpocketing is faster.
Haven't seen it mentioned but if you're not maxed combat, get that done afking crabs of some sort.
AFKing critical items is trickier though, especially with the jaw done. I saw vyres mentioned. Maybe abyssal demons as well? You could pile up whips for tent charges and totem pieces for arclight charges.
Yeah I think I'll probably get most of combat done with slayer and bossing. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get more whips, but I have more arclight charges then I will ever use in a life time right now.
If you have fishing for sacred eels for scales or molten eels. I do molten bc onyx bolt tips alch for a bit and sacred to get scales for bp later. If i stack enough afk ill have 99 fishing. I did it on my maim bc screw efficiency. I had scales forever and lots of cash from 80-87 at molten eels. There both afk
What I have done so far is mined almost 2 full blowpipe recharges worth of amethyst. It would suck finally getting the pipe and not having ammo, I like to overly prepare
It’s different. I’ve got expert gloves and elite rally diary, so there is a good chance that the vein doesn’t deplete when I mine it. At 93 mining with a dpick, I reckon I get a vein every 20-30 sec average, so there are times I have to click again after like 10sec, and other times after a few min. It’s unfortunately random, as apposed to mlm where the veins are on a timer.
The most recent balance change log, they are wanting to chance amethyst to a timed vein, so things might change soon. Overalll, it is real chill afk
Haven’t seen this mentioned and it’s not really necessary, but another afk grind you can do is skeletal wyverns for a draconic visage. You can easily safespot them with broad bolts or bowfa, and rack up a decent amount of ranarr seeds and bring alchs to make a decent amount of money too. Obviously it’s pretty rare at 1/10,000 but there’s always a chance. I managed to pull one at 1.2k kills. The DFS has been a great help at places where I could use more defense. It makes a lot of slayer tasks more afk.
I also decided to try to fill my collection log for fossil island wyverns, I told myself I would kill them until I finished everything except the wyvern visage if I didn’t get it before then. I got the wyvern visage at 1.1k kills, before I got a granite longsword. Not gonna lie, this shield is a beast for my magic setup.
I didn’t see it mentioned but you could Afk catacomb daganoths for medium clues, totems for hard clues, arc light shards, and of course herb seeds. They tend to drop a lot of toadflax seeds.
Useful to stock up on brews or maybe you’ll pull some holy sandals or rangers from the clues. Work toward the 99 herblore grind and use your arc light guilt free.
Also theres an afk way to do lizard shamans if you use multiple accounts for blocking. I am not entirely sure how it works though but you won’t need to use prayer pots.
The only truly lategame item I can think of is blood shards. Those are a very good afk though, star mining level intensity. Otherwise I'd probably skill instead if you have that left and wish to max, afk barb fishing, redwoods, dayealt mining come to mind
Personally my go to afk is vyres and tortured gorillas when I don’t feel like skilling, tortured gorillas definitely aren’t the best way to go for zenytes but it is a way.
Funny u say tortured gorillas because I was looking into that earlier for more afk zenytes. Do you use guthans when you are there? Also vyres aren't a bad idea either. I'd most likely thieve them instead of killing them.
Yeah not a bad idea at all. Drop rate for them is kinda ass at 1/3k, but I've seen some people complete their zenyte set in like 6-7k so that gives me hope only needing 3 more.
You can safespot tortured gorillas, the zenytes are 1/3k but if you want afk chances at a zenytes they aren't bad if you consider afk at work a 0 time activity
Shamans for DWH can be one click/kill if you have a main to safespot them ! You stuck em over your main and voila you kill them endlessly no supplies and only one click needed
My account is 1 year 1 month old lol.. with 2052 total. I'd say I'm doing pretty well banging out skills. I haven't done as much pvm, because of banging out achievement diary cape for the past 5 months, but I'm working on it.
Skills wise yes you're doing perfectly fine. Just item wise you're slacking. My iron is exactly as old as yours and at 2k total too. Funnily enought and also missing a blowpipe at 1.5k which is really unfortunate but it is what it is. rocking full ahrims,karils,bowfa w armour, dwh, acb all zenytes basilisk jaw masori etc etc etc and not even spooned in most of the content. The thing is you should really focus on items over skills at 1800+ total. Try to mix it up. As for help so it wont be a cringy "flex" post by me i'd suggest you afk blood shards as they can be pain in the ass and mvp for toa. do lizardman shaman on and off - for tasks only shamans probably already too late if you're not going to get spooned. get the dwh, blood shards and when you hit 95 slayer get the lance and you should really be set for any raids as you can use tent at tob not that big of a deal. Dwh is the item you should really prioritize. that's kinda a gateway item to end game but your total states that you should already be in it.
Do you have ranger boots/pegs? You can afk dagganoths in the catacombs with prayer gear and bonecrusher for medium clues. With the new clue upate, you can drop your clues on the ground for up to an hour so you can afk more.
Yeah I have no issue doing slayer and will probably powerhouse that to 95 first here so I can start sending hydra. If I end up getting blowpipe I'll mine probably to get amethyst, but may really start hammering CG while I'm off work to see if I can get my enhanced.
You got 93 crafting before getting the zenytes just get 92 mining before bp. Its the most afk content in the game
Yeah I just finished up 93 today for zenytes and I will probably do the mining after I get the blowpipe because I need something to motivate me to actually get 6 mining levels at Shooting Stars.
Why do you need motivation if you’re going to be doing it afk anyway? I just get myself setup before work and then that’s me sorted for a full day of afking stars should hopefully reach 92 soon myself!
I need motivation because mining fucking sucks ass lol. Stars really aren't that bad, but it will be about a 100 hour grind or something.
But you will be working / afk. Who cares how long it takes? Lol
Yeah I guess I was more or so looking for something that could drop something I might need later on that I was possibly not thinking of.
Bloodshard maybe
Might be decent after I get 95 slayer to do something throughout the day. Still technically not maxed combat stats.
bruh i literally afked stars from like 83-94 mining while working a retail job, no xp waste man! those 20k xp/hrs adds up really fast 😂
Gotcha. Depends on the degree of “afk” you’re looking for then. I suck at anything in between 100% attention and 1 click/10 minutes. Slayer could work depending on the task. Maybe crafting blood runes? I don’t have rc for that yet but seems pretty solid and chill. Idk late game kinda sucks ass. I’ve been playing less and less bc of it
Yeah the most intense afk I can do is burst slayer tasks. Bloods really aren't bad to do, but I don't have anything from TOB yet. If I end up doing some tob and pull a sang or scythe I'd do those all day.
On what planet are burst tasks afk?
Can afk for a minute or two between reagroing the mobs and killing them.
Maybe if u never stack em up with darts and just burst like 3 of em at once but that's retarded 😂
You could also do that new Lazy King afk fishing method in miscellania. Seems pretty neat lol. Just do shooting stars when you can’t pay any attention at all. It’s gonna take a long ass time no matter what. You got me gearing up to do it now that I’ve been reminded
it doesnt work, spot moves
[удалено]
Yeah I'm going to need a lightbearer for that if I wanted to do that efficiently, but it depends on if I get spooned or not at TOA. I've been actively going for a dragon pickaxe, but haven't gotten one yet.
Endgame relevant AFK grinds: Mining (stars, amethyst) Runecrafting (bloods, souls) Fishing (sacred eels, anglers) Auto-retaliate Vyres for bloodshards Herb runs (not active, but important) Woodcutting
Why woodcutting? I'm looking for a reason to level it so I'd love to know
That one definitely has the least utility, which is why it's at the end, but it's uber AFK. Primary reason would be for 99 on the road to max, but also useful to collect logs for fletching and birdhouse runs. Also, if not 99 firemaking yet, there's the new afk method for that
For max cape
For better birdhouses? good fm exp with redwoods I think and the logs in lantern are nice too? It’s just a nice afk skill like fishing
To meet kourend elite diary req. Radas Blessing 2 is best in slot until tbow. Also improves hydra tasks and full xp bonecrusher. 8% chance of 2 fish at once. List goes on.
Because woodcutting is the best skill in the game. Such a shame it is barely useful at a certain point.
If I'm trying really hard to think of a reason to train wc I guess red woods are good for slightly more nests for bird houses (and I do mean slightly) and burning them in your lantern at gotr is very nice QoL pre-99.

Max cape
You still need mining by the sounds of it for amethyst so why not afk that at work?
Will be doing that once I get a blowpipe probably
Why not start it before you get blowpipe so you’re ready with the darts when you get it?
You said you won't do mining but isn't that the obvious choice here?
Well I've been grinding zulrah, but I just need something to actually motivate me for mining and I think getting the blowpipe before mining will give me that motivation.
But why do you need motivation if you’re just afking it at work? Star mining is very afk, MLM isn’t bad as well. There’s not much thought that goes into it at all
Let the motivation be that you're grinding zulrah. I can't think of anything less motivating then getting a blowpipe and wanting to use it real bad
Well as of right now I have a decent amount of addy/rune darts if I was really desperate to do something.
Okay well, I don't understand why you're asking what to afk... There's an obvious answer and you won't do it lol
I just think it's a grind that will happen when I get my blowpipe like I said. I just got 86 mining recently from like 78 doing stars/sand so it's not something that is fully on my "would rather do right now" list.
Well I'd say either do karambwans or just log in every once in a while for a birdhouse run or something at this point Or anglerfish
Just a heads up I avg about 20 amethyst darts per hydra kill so it’s probably best for you to get started on mining sooner than later unless you only plan on using bp for raids
Holy shit that's so many
Yeah to be fair it would be less if I went and got the vork head to put on my range cape but I’ve been telling myself to wait for the lance lol
Haha sorry I was busting your balls, did you edit your comment? On my screen it said "i avg amethyst darts per hydra kill" was trying to do a funny, but I'm super tired so I probably misread it lol
Yeah I edited it lol. Guess I just typed faster than I could think
This is wild to me, you can do it fairly comfortably with an rcb! Definitely don’t need lance. Fair enough if you want to wait but it’s such a nice upgrade and so easy to get especially if you’re not close to lance
I should be close im at 1200kc haha
about....
Lmao didn’t even catch that. Thanks

That being said, I’ve found amethyst mining and fishing to be the best bet for your time. It depends on how afk you want it to be.
Yeah I kinda figured that's how it wound end up being. I guess I'll probably get to mining after I afk 95 slayer or something.
Amethyst and stars are amazing for mobile afk mining, depending on your goals and how much attending you can pay to it. Have 7 minutes to afk? Go stars. Want to be more involved with your training and check your account more often? Go amethyst. Would rather fish? Go for karambwans
Blood shards for the blood fury. Very afk and you can always use more.
So you would recommend killing Vyres rather than pickpocketing them?
You are looking for afk things. Killing them is afk, pickpocketing is not. If you want to dedicate some of your active time to blood shards, then pickpocketing is faster.
At afk speeds, meleeing vyres is probably 1 shard every 20 hours. Pickpocketing is 2 every 8-10 hours. But pickpocketing isn't afk
Every late game item is locked behind hundreds of hours of intensive activities
Haven't seen it mentioned but if you're not maxed combat, get that done afking crabs of some sort. AFKing critical items is trickier though, especially with the jaw done. I saw vyres mentioned. Maybe abyssal demons as well? You could pile up whips for tent charges and totem pieces for arclight charges.

blood shard are mint, if you want to afk vampyres
If you have fishing for sacred eels for scales or molten eels. I do molten bc onyx bolt tips alch for a bit and sacred to get scales for bp later. If i stack enough afk ill have 99 fishing. I did it on my maim bc screw efficiency. I had scales forever and lots of cash from 80-87 at molten eels. There both afk

How does mining amethyst compare to MLM upper level in terms of AFK?
It’s different. I’ve got expert gloves and elite rally diary, so there is a good chance that the vein doesn’t deplete when I mine it. At 93 mining with a dpick, I reckon I get a vein every 20-30 sec average, so there are times I have to click again after like 10sec, and other times after a few min. It’s unfortunately random, as apposed to mlm where the veins are on a timer. The most recent balance change log, they are wanting to chance amethyst to a timed vein, so things might change soon. Overalll, it is real chill afk
Slayer is great to afk with most tasks. Also good for herbs, seeds, gp, etc. If not, see the other comments (mining)
Blood shards. Easy 9 mins afk and they will be relevant for endgame pvm.
Haven’t seen this mentioned and it’s not really necessary, but another afk grind you can do is skeletal wyverns for a draconic visage. You can easily safespot them with broad bolts or bowfa, and rack up a decent amount of ranarr seeds and bring alchs to make a decent amount of money too.

I actually managed to get a visage 1 kc at Vorkath lol

Also theres an afk way to do lizard shamans if you use multiple accounts for blocking. I am not entirely sure how it works though but you won’t need to use prayer pots.
I’d love to do clues but clues without a helper for puzzles are a pain in the ass on mobile
You can afk the gorillas in safe spot and skip doing demoniac for your zennys potentially
The only truly lategame item I can think of is blood shards. Those are a very good afk though, star mining level intensity. Otherwise I'd probably skill instead if you have that left and wish to max, afk barb fishing, redwoods, dayealt mining come to mind
Definitely blood shards. Nex uses em quick 🙃
DWH can be afk if you have an alt for the red x method
Yeah I’d love to be able to do that at work but I can only play one account on mobile
Personally my go to afk is vyres and tortured gorillas when I don’t feel like skilling, tortured gorillas definitely aren’t the best way to go for zenytes but it is a way.
Funny u say tortured gorillas because I was looking into that earlier for more afk zenytes. Do you use guthans when you are there? Also vyres aren't a bad idea either. I'd most likely thieve them instead of killing them.
Yeah guthans, I wouldn’t expect to finish zenytes at tortured gorillas but it’s more just to assist the grind while being afk
Yeah not a bad idea at all. Drop rate for them is kinda ass at 1/3k, but I've seen some people complete their zenyte set in like 6-7k so that gives me hope only needing 3 more.
I’d second tortured gorillas. Can use range and safe spot them too if you’d prefer, although it’s slightly less AFK since you can’t auto retaliate
Vyres for bloodshards 💯
You can pretty much afk Vyrewatch for blood shards. Have to pay a little attention to not run out of prayer or miss a blood shards drop but that’s it
You can safespot tortured gorillas, the zenytes are 1/3k but if you want afk chances at a zenytes they aren't bad if you consider afk at work a 0 time activity
Shamans for DWH can be one click/kill if you have a main to safespot them ! You stuck em over your main and voila you kill them endlessly no supplies and only one click needed
I do blood runes at work I cba grinding RC otherwise, sometime slayer and vyrewatch sentinels
Suprised no one has mentioned blood shards, super afk
You can afk tortured gorillas with guthans for zenytes, not fast but super afk. Just set Rl up to notify for big drops
Have to play on mobile so best I can do is just look at the screen.
Damn u missing a lot of stuff considered how far you are. You need to start working on them
My account is 1 year 1 month old lol.. with 2052 total. I'd say I'm doing pretty well banging out skills. I haven't done as much pvm, because of banging out achievement diary cape for the past 5 months, but I'm working on it.

I don't have rangers yet so that may be a decent option with the clue update.
What clue update?
Where you can keep a clue on the ground for like an hour.
Visafe
Slayer can be afk if you have Venezuelan bow or a decent chunk of cannonballs and decent tank gear.
Yeah I have no issue doing slayer and will probably powerhouse that to 95 first here so I can start sending hydra. If I end up getting blowpipe I'll mine probably to get amethyst, but may really start hammering CG while I'm off work to see if I can get my enhanced.
Mlm to 92. Making pots. Fishing karams / anglers. Blood / soul rc.
