Skill Training Sticky - Runescape Community

The summoning part is off, for kyatt.

(This one)
"it takes 40 seconds to create 25 pouches. When using energy potions you'll need to waste 10 seconds banking to refill your energy after about 7 trips. This means that you can do 84 trips in one hour and create 2100 (x) pouches an hour.
**Please note that if you're not using any energy potions then you may only be creating up to 1700 an hour. The method above is using a Spirit Kyatt to teleport to the Piscatoris Fishing Colony, running north to head down the ladder, creating the pouches at the obelisk, using a ring of dueling to bank, and repeating."

The run to the obelisk from the kyatt tele spot takes almost no energy at all... you never need energy potions. So really, you get 90 trips per hour, so 2250 pouches per hour. An extra 150.

Noble Truce has been kind enough to publish his personal notes when it comes to how long it might take to train a skill. Below are his observations about how long ingame actions take, and how this affects your exp per hour.

How long will it takes me to achieve level x?

To figure out how many hours a skill will take to lvl up to a certain lvl, find the total amount of things you need to create, burn, cast, ect by using the Zybez Skill Calculator. Once you have that number, divide it by however many things you can burn, cast, ect in an hour which is listed below. If your having trouble finding the number I put an x in parentheses next to the number to divide it by.

Example: The calculator tells me that I need to bury 4480 bones to lvl my prayer. Since I can bury 2240 an hour, I divide 4480 by 2240 (x) which comes out to 2. So it'll take 2 hours to reach my goal.

If you get a number that's a decimal then round up. The reason for this is because were not perfect so were not going to bury that many an hour, but get close to it. So we'll round up since we'll end up taking a bit more time then that.

Example: The calculator tells me I need to bury 10,000 bones to lvl my prayer. Since I can bury 2240 an hour, I divide 10,000 by 2240 which comes out to 4.46. Round up to 5 so it comes up to 5 hours.

Now here are the times:
The skills are alphabetically ordered.

Cooking:

(f2p, Al Kharid Bank) You can cook 26 pieces of food (1 slot for tinderbox and another for a log) in 1:30 mins. That means you can do 40 trips an hour or 1040 (x) pieces of food cooked in an hour.
(f2p, Lumbridge Castle Bank) You can cook 27 pieces of food (1 slot for tinderbox) in 1:20 mins. That means you can do 45 trips an hour or 1215 (x) pieces of food cooked in an hour.
**The method above doesn't require any logs to be used. There are several log spawns next to the bank that can be burned instead.
(cooked in the Rouge's Den) You can cook 28 pieces of food in 1:20 mins. That means you can do 45 trips in an hour or 1260 (x) pieces of food cooked in an hour.

Fletching:

You can create 27 bows in 1:05 mins. This means you can do 55 trips in an hour or 1485 (x) bows in an hour.

Herblore:

It takes about 40 seconds to make 14 potions. This means you can do 90 trips in one hour which means you can create 1260 (x) potions in one hour.
**Please note that this is assuming your using your secondary ingredients on your unfinished potions, it does not take adding herbs with vials of water into account.

Magic:

You'll be able to cast High Alchemy 18 times in 1 minute. This means you can cast High Alchemy 1080 (x) times in an hour.
You can cast Confuse, Weaken, and Curse once every four seconds. That means you can do 900 casts in one hour meaning you'll recieve 11,700 (x) exp an hour casting Confuse, 18,450 (x) exp an hour casting Weaken, and 26,100 (x) exp an hour casting Curse.

Credits go to Christley for timing this.

Mining:

(Using Varrock Armor 1) It takes about 90 seconds to to mine a full inventory and bank your ores. This means you can do 40 trips an hour or mine 1120(x) iron ore an hour.
**The method above is using a Spirit Kyatt to teleport to the Piscatoris Fishing Colony, running north to the mine (three iron rocks close to eachother), mining a full inventory, using a ring of dueling to bank, and repeating.

Prayer:

You can bury 28 bones in 45 seconds (or as I will now refer to as "1 trip") This means that you can do 80 trips in one hour or 2240 (x) bones buried an hour.

Runecrafting:

(using the Abyss) It takes about 2 minutes to do one trip. When using energy potions you'll need to waste 10 seconds to refill your energy up every 2 trips. This means you can do 29 trips an hour or receive 812 (x) essence an hour without any pouches, 870 (x) essence an hour using a small pouch, 1015 (x) essence an hour using a small and medium pouch, 1247 (x) essence an hour using a small, medium, and large pouch, 1566 (x) essence an hour using a small, medium, large, and giant pouch.
**Please note that these times are assuming you're using energy potions. You'll be able to create around 150 to 200 less runes without them. Also note that you'll need to take how much base exp you get from creating a certain rune and multiply it by the numbers provided to find out the exp per hour.
(using nature altar tabs) It takes about 40 seconds to do one trip. This means you can do 90 trips an hour or recieve 2430 (x) nature runes an hour without any pouches, 2,610 nature runes an hour using a small pouch, 3060 nature runes an hour with a small and medium pouch, 3780 nature runes an hour using a small, medium, and large pouch, and 4770 nature runes an hour with a small, medium, large, and giant pouch.
**This method is using a nature altar tab to teleport to the nature altar and using a ring of dueling to bank. Also, the numbers up there will be reduced because of your pouches degrading so subtract a couple hundred nature runes from each to get your number.

Slayer:

Normally you'll be recieving 10,000 (x) slayer exp, 40,000 (x) combat exp, and 13,300 (x) hitpoints exp an hour when raising slayer.

Smithing:

(creating items requiring one bar) You can create 27 items in 1:40 mins. That means you can do 36 trips an hour or create 972 (x) items in an hour. This also means you could create 4860 knives, 9720 bolt/dart tips, and 14,580 arrow heads an hour.
(creating items requiring two bars) You can create 13 items in 1 min. That means you can do 60 trips in an hour or create 780 (x) items in an hour.
(creating items requiring three bars) You can create 9 items in 50 seconds. This means you can do 72 trip an hour or create 648 (x) items an hour.
(creating items requiring five bars) You can create 5 items in 35 seconds. That means you can do 102 trips an hour or create 510 (x) items an hour.
**The calculations above were done through the anvil by the Varrock west bank
(f2p furnace at Al Kharid) It takes about 1:20 mins to create 27 furnace items. That means you can do 45 trips or create 1215 furnace items an hour. However since you cant use energy potions in f2p you'll be creating about 1050 (x) an hour.
(p2p furnace at Port Phasmatys) It takes about 1:05 mins to create 27 furnace items. That means you can do 55 trips or create 1485 (x) furnace items an hour.
You will be able to smelt one inventory of iron ore in 1 minute using the Superheat Item spell. This means that you can cast Superheat Item 1600 (x) times in an hour. This will gain you around 20,000 smithing experience.

Summoning:

It takes exactly 1 minute to create 25 pouches. When using energy potions you'll need to waste 10 seconds banking to refill your energy after 5 trips. So this means you'll be doing 58 trips an hour. That means you'll create about 1450 (x) pouches an hour.
**Please note that if you're not using any energy potions then you may only be creating up to 1000 an hour. The method above is using a house teleport tab to teleport to your house, (make sure your house is moved to Taverly) running to Summoning altar, creating your pouches, using a ring of dueling to teleport to Castle Wars, banking, and then repeating.
It takes 40 seconds to create 25 pouches. When using energy potions you'll need to waste 10 seconds banking to refill your energy after about 7 trips. This means that you can do 84 trips in one hour and create 2100 (x) pouches an hour.
**Please note that if you're not using any energy potions then you may only be creating up to 1700 an hour. The method above is using a Spirit Kyatt to teleport to the Piscatoris Fishing Colony, running north to head down the ladder, creating the pouches at the obelisk, using a ring of dueling to bank, and repeating.

Thieving: Use this chart to figure out how much exp an hour you will receive per hour, using the Pyramid Plunder mini-game method (proven to be quickest xp). Xp values provided thanks to Jeremy.

Level 21 -- 8-10k (800 per game completed)
Level 31 -- 18-20k (1,800 per game completed)
Level 41 -- 25-30k (2,500 per game completed)
Level 51 -- 45-50k (4,500 per game completed)
Level 61 -- 50-80k (7,000 per game completed)
Level 71 -- 100-120k (10,000 per game completed)
Level 81 -- 150-180k (15,000 per game completed)
Level 91 -- 200-240k (20,000 per game completed)

Note: These values may vary from person to person so you should only use these times as a general estimation. Depending on individual circumstances, you might only achieve 3/4 or 5/8 the xp listed per hour, as the listed calculations were done under ideal test conditions.

Great guide for skill times!
