The Master Plan

If you have followed along the guide, you should have ended up with around 4.5K skull points. There are two paths you can take now:

• The first path is for people who just want to rack up points without playing the game mode that much. This path will focus on dealing damage at breaches and nothing else.
• The second path is for people who enjoy playing the game mode and want to gain as many points as possible.

Breach Path

First and foremost, you will need to level up your stats. The easiest way to do this is by training on Varrock guards or Gnome Stronghold terrorbirds. You should get the following stats: (note: these stats are for a well-balanced tank build; feel free to adjust them.)

• 50 Attack
• 43 Strength
• 40 Defence
• 61 Hitpoints
• 62 Ranged
• 62 Magic
• 45 Prayer
• 60 Combat level

After getting these stats, talk to Nigel in Lumbridge and lock your stats to prevent levelling up further. To make gold, you can do two easy things:

1. Doing Seers’ Village Rooftop course with the Sigil of agile fortune and banking every 10k.
2. Levelling up your Thieving to 85 and pickpocketing gnomes at the Tree Gnome Village area. You can level up Thieving by pickpocketing guards outside the safezone in Ardougne, guards in Varlamore, and master farmers in Varlamore.

When you feel ready, complete the A Kingdom Divided quest to unlock thralls and get the Sigil of augmented thralls to boost your thralls' damage. This alone should guarantee enough damage in breaches.

After getting your gear sorted out and your thralls ready, log in only when it's breach time to participate, then log out.

Song of the Elves Path

Song of the Elves is a high-level quest, and many low-combat players will skip it. This makes Prifddinas a safe zone with access to high-tier resources with zero danger. First, you need to get your stats up to complete the quests.

Woodcutting

To get 70 Woodcutting, first acquire the Sigil of enhanced harvest, Sigil of remote storage, and Sigil of hoarding. You can train Woodcutting via two methods:

• Do Wintertodt until 70 Woodcutting to gain money and points.
• Chop Teak trees in Ape Atoll until 70 Woodcutting.

Hunter

To reach 70 Hunter, first get the Sigil of the Hunter. You can do the following:

• Barehand catch 93 Sapphire Glacialis for 45 Hunter.
• Catch 136 Spotted Kebbit for 57 Hunter.
• Catch 353 Dark Kebbit for 69 Hunter.
• Catch 44 Dashing Kebbit for 70 Hunter.

Alternatively, stop at 53 Hunter, start catching chinchompas, then do red chins until 70.

Smithing

Since you started the Knight’s Sword quest, follow these steps for efficient Smithing:

1. Chronicle teleport and talk to Reldo in Varrock palace.
2. Bank and grab your Dramen staff and 2 coins.
3. Use the Edgeville fairy ring to DJR.
4. Run southeast and grab a chef’s hat from Shayzien shop.
5. Chronicle teleport and bank to grab Dramen staff, 12 gp, chef’s hat, pickaxe, 2 Iron bars, some tuna, and Falador teleport tablets or runes.
6. Enter the Cook’s Guild and purchase a redberry pie.
7. Use the Edgeville fairy ring to AIQ.
8. Talk to Thurgo.
9. Head to Falador castle and grab the portrait.
10. Talk to Thurgo again.
11. Falador teleport to finish the quest for 52 Smithing.

From here, you can train Smithing traditionally or complete the Sleeping Giants quest to make swords and refund some money. To get the required gold, use agility with agile fortune or pickpocketing.

Construction

For Construction, there are three methods:

1. Fix 300 braziers in Wintertodt.
2. Do solo Tempoross and use the planks received from it.
3. Buy planks from the Grand Exchange and train Construction normally.

Farming

Farming ties in with the Herblore grind, so herb seeds are especially valuable.

1. Get the Sigil of Remote Storage, Sigil of Enhanced Harvest, and Sigil of Deception.
2. Pickpocket master farmers for starter seeds.
3. Complete Farming contracts and aim to get:

• 6 Guam
• 58 Tarromin
• 38 Ranarr
• 40 Irit
• 58 Avantoe
• 264 Kwuarm
• 161 Cadantine
• 322 Limpwurt
• 94 Snape Grass
• 161 White Berry

Herblore

If you have collected the resources from Farming, simply combine them to make potions and train Herblore to level 70.

Mining

Mining is straightforward with remote storage. Choose any convenient spot and mine Iron ore.

After training all your skills, complete the Elven storyline. You can purchase the quest lamp to speed this up. Once in Prifddinas, you can:

• Chop Teak and Mahogany trees using the Sigil of Woodcraft.
• Pickpocket elves.
• Complete Zalcano.
• Catch Red Chinchompas.
• Kill Black Dragons.
• Farm monsters in Iorwerth Dungeon.
• Farm the Gauntlet.
