DIY = Do It Yourself!

Please note that this is not a “Get Rich Quick” or “Fastest way to 99 Guide”. This Do It Yourself guide exposes many ways to quickly and effectively add raw material collection into your training routine. If you use this guide correctly, you'll be able to gather many skill building materials yourself faster than you can buy them!

Yes I know there are faster ways to do many things, but not everyone plays for P-hats and skill capes!

First, a little about how a DIY'er plays:

1) Everything in RS is free. All you have to do is get it!
2) Skills support other skills in more than the obvious Fish/Cook relationship
3) All quests are worth the time, period!
4) You lose money/exp every time you buy/sell raw materials
5) The best areas are vacant so log onto busy worlds to decrease the respawn times
6) The Game should be FUN! This is not WORK!


The original reason this guide was written was to combat the plague of RWT and bots by showing people that they could have fun playing this game without aid of autoers. Jagex had they're own ideas about how to fix this problem though :P However, without bots driving down the price on raw materials it has become even more profitable to adopt a DIY attitude, so we've redoubled our efforts to ensure that you can take advantage of this brave new RS!

This guide will attempt to instruct you in a variety of in-game features such as Combat, Mini games, Teleports, and Quest areas that significantly reduce the time of collecting raw materials. And I get bored easy so I’ve found many ways to make the mundane a little less mundane!

If you read and follow the advice in this guide, you will no longer be a slave to fluctuating market prices, overcrowded training areas, or any new scam that comes along. If everyone follows this guide, the aforementioned maladies will cease to exist! Of course, it will take much more than one guide to do that for everyone, but it's enough for just you

Here begins the guide. Each post will contain a skill, my preferred training areas, tips on multitasking while training, and of course, how to Do It Yourself!

Most of you will not be able to take advantage of these tips right away. Almost everything I do required a quest or “high level” something to access these areas. Please don’t be discouraged. Instead be inspired! When you set goals and achieve them you learn why this game is loved by so many!

FAQ
====

Q: If this is a DIY guide, why do you buy stuff? Shouldn't you earn it?

A: I did earn it. My whip cost me 4.3M when I bought it. Here years later, I'm still 15 Slayer levels shy of getting a drop myself. I have no problem rewarding the hard work of others, and there is no autoer market for Whips, Dragon Items, Treasure Tails, or Barrows gear. What else am I supposed to spend my Millions on?


Q: You help people all the time! You give away free stuff, guide lost players on their first Treasure Trail, and even give quest support! Why don't you tell them to DIY?

A: Of course I help people. When I started playing that was more common than it is now. I would not have gotten where I am today without the support of others and it just feels good!

The guide is my largest gesture of that same help. I TOLD you how I DIY, all my tips and tricks that I earned I gave freely and you've responded in kind with great tips you've worked for. You've made my RS experience better for it and I hope I've enriched yours as well.


Q: This isn't DIY, this is just fighting monsters for drops instead of working for your stuff!

A: There are many ways to DIY. My reason for writing the guide was to shed light on ALL the in game features you can use to collect raw materials. Hence my Temple Trekking guide, and my support of using the Kingdom Managing to collect materials for you.

True, there are many more hardcore DIYers out there than myself. Most support this guide and many have submitted tips!


Q: Buying materials is the fastest way to level skills!

A: Did you count the time you spent making that money to buy the skills? If you merchanted, how much Xp did you get? Do you really think that everyone can make 2 mil a day? Are you still sure that everyone will gain more total Xp and money your way?

NOTE: If you plan on disproving the entire guide with something as simple as buying vs. mining Ess, it won't work!
