Fast Training Methods
Fastest Training Methods (20-99)
At level 20 ranged, you will start killing hill giants in the Edgeville Dungeon, you will need to buy a brass key from the Grand Exchange to enter. You can make a bit of profit here by looting their limpwurt roots, runes, and big bones. You will stay here until 40 ranged.
From levels 40-60, you will kill moss giants which can be found in the Varrock sewers. You can also make profit here from the runes they drop.
From levels 60-99 you will kill lesser demons in the Karamja volcano. Lesser demons have some decent drops such as rune med helms and runes, they can be safespotted. If you have 55+ magic, you should take runes for high level alchemy.
