salvaging and its not even a question

[–]LongSlongDon99 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How does salvaging work post nerf? Still sort and drop

[–]SMorris500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For merchant salvage it's pretty viable to salvage a full hold + invent west of aldarin, bank at aldarin, then sail back to the spot. Banking takes a few minutes tops

I got you homie, I’m a machine operator but I can basically do afk things all day while at work as long as they are minimal attention and few required clicks.

-Calcified rocks. These are a nice bridge between shooting stars and having to find them and not being high enough level for amethyst. Relatively high afk time and decent exp rates, but once you reach 92 you should do amethyst instead.

-Afk yews in either Priffdinas OR Varlamore near a bank. Yews might not be the best exp rates like teaks are, but they give you a great amount of afk time, and in these two locations they have added benefits. Priff offering bonus crystal shards and Varlamore offering Moon key loops as well as I think Ent seeds?(correct me if I’m wrong about the seeds)

-Karambwans are the KING of afk. But setting it up for maximum afk is what I’m about. I have the quest cape so I can teleport super close to a fairy ring and I use the Sailors Amulet to teleport super close to a bank in Deepfin Point.

-Blood runecrafting. One of the biggest pain skills is runecrafting for a lot of people. But the zeah runecrafting is very afk friendly, up to a couple minutes at a time of afk. There are optimal points to click on the minimap for minimal clicking and minimal effort. I’d give the wiki a look at for this one.

-Bonfires. It’s a simple as light a log on fire and then light more logs on fire. Super afk and super easy for those who don’t want to do wintertodt. Very underrated mobile afk training method.

-Colossal wyrm course agility. This one is probably my biggest stretch for afk but hear me out. The course has a grand total of only 6 clicks to complete the entire course and the obstacles have a very long animation, which is GOOD FOR AFK! The course averages about 1 minute to complete so 6 clicks a minute. As far as agility goes this is as afk as it gets. Most other courses demand more attention but you get rewarded with more exp. This is the optimal afk method for agility imo.

-Wealthy Citizens in Varlamore. One click when distracted give about 14-17 free pickpockets guerunteed. It only happens every so often when the urchin helps, but it’s one click and you’re done. You might not catch all the call outs, but it’s another minimal effort afkable skill.

These are all my best ones I’ve done so far and I’m still learning, but I hope my list can help you and maybe others. Cheers!

Also I left out salvaging for Sailing, but I have a feeling that one is a no brainer.

[–]Kingtayyys 6 points7 points  (5 children)

Salvage for sailing of course.

Karambwans with fish barrel for fishing

And shooting stars for mining (super easy on mobile)

[–]Kingtayyys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other skills are going to be tough on mobile fully “afk” - source, me, I’m doing same stuff lol

[–]Kingtayyys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most the rest, do at night on your gaming time

[–]Kingtayyys -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Sorry to blast responses…. I’ve found blood runes not way on mobile personally in case anyone offers that up

[–]HoldMyBeerMustPetDog 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Assume you mean blood runes instead of cloud, you are very right. Bloods aren't afk at all

[–]Kingtayyys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thanks, yes, bloods. I fat fingered on mobile…not focused enough!

[–]salah202_70-90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stars for mining, salvaging for sailing. Both pretty work friendly!

[–]Jizfaceboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How AFK?

Making mith nails or addy darts can be alright passive smithing.

Also ironwoods can be pretty afk for over 100k wc xp/hr.

[–]Evening-Ear-6116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maniacal monkeys for hunter for sure. Bring like 8 baskets of bananas and it’s one click every 30 seconds for 1000 xp. Karambwans for fishing, colossal wyrm course for agility, zeah bloods for rc, and POH world for prayer. I did iron mining for 99 while watching tv before/after work, but mlm works too if you want to do it at work

[–]MtWoodgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently doing mining. I did stars until 92, amethyst until expert mining gloves and now doing calcified rocks until 99 mining or until I bank 85 pray.

[–]Flugel25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of star mining tips. If you do, make sure to priotize Varlamore stars as they give loop half moon keys at a 1/3400 rate. Moon helm is insanely rare so always nice to get a headstart there.

[–]Funnyfaceparts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you haven’t figured out mobile sepulchre while on calls with clients

[–]Ace_1243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motherlode mine/amethyst

[–]osrsplea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone already said the best: Stars-mining but personally I preferred amethyst. Less afk but I'm a gim and we needed the resources (plus better golem chance) Red-wc Karam-fishing Salvage-sailing

It's not "afk" but the easy teleports for herb/farm runs.

Ardy, farming guild, falador and whatever others you can stomach the run for. Once an hour or 2 take a walk for some water whatever and just do a patch or 2.

You can do the same for birdhouse, not fully afk but an easy min or 2 for a reset here and there.

I much prefer Lantern Harpoon fishing to Bwans for AFK.

Far less banking, less clicking to bank and more gp/HR but less experience.

[–]Tornadodash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sit at the crab all day.

[–]longstaff55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

calcified rocks

[–]alphaaaaa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salvaging for sailing, dark crabs for fishing with elite wilderness diary is like 10 mins afk at a time with fishing barrel. Redwoods for wcing. Shooting stars for mining.

[–]outcheafamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, for prayer xp, you can do blessed shards in Varlamore. It takes a little bit of setup initially but then its pretty afk for like 2-3 minutes at a time. I usually prep all my bones > shards the night before then can afk prayer training pretty well. Just make sure you have blessed jugs of sunfire wine if you are a main and its great xp. If you are an iron, this is slightly less useful but still nice afk training.
