Start the Feud at Ali Morrisane

📍 Al Kharid📜 The Feud

From Ali Morrisane, buy the desert disguise for The Feud quest

📍 Al Kharid

Smelt the 5 silver, make a sickle and unstrung holy symbol, keep 3 bars

📍 Al Kharid

Give the key imprint and bronze bar to Osman for Prince ali rescue quest

📍 Al Kharid

Do the Feud

📍 Pollnivneach📜 The Feud ✓
⚠️ HCIM: HCIM; if you're scared of going to mage bank, unlock the rune shop

Blackjack until 50 thieving, you can buy wines from the bar to use as food

📍 Pollnivneach🎯 50 thieving

IF you're planning on 3-tick fishing then home tele to lumby and pick up 15+ swamp tar now

📍 Lumbridge

Ardy cloak tele and take the boat from Ardy to brimhaven

📍 Ardougne

Take the cart to Shilo Village

📍 Shilo Village

Cut uncut gems until level 32 crafting

📍 Shilo Village🎯 32 crafting

Buy 20k feathers from shilo village fishing shop

📍 Shilo Village

Get 58 fishing with trout and salmon

📍 Shilo Village🎯 58 fishing
Bank the fish for cooking xp. You can pretty easily grow cats while doing this fishing grind since you can just feed it the fish you fish. I recommend raising 10 cats for death runes in total, after that it's up to you if you can be bothered

Minigame tele to Burthrope games' room

📍 Burthorpe

Cook all of your trout, don't cook salmon yet

📍 Burthorpe

Minigame tele to Barb assault

📍 Barbarian Assault

Get 50 agility from barb fishing, should be at 74 fishing

📍 Barbarian Fishing🎯 50 agility
You can feed caviar and roe to kitten, bring a knife to cut the fish. I honestly can't recommend any other way to train to 50 agi than fishing

After 50 agility, minigame tele to Burthrope

📍 Burthorpe

Do the rogue's den minigame for full rogue outfit

📍 Rogues' Den
Cook the salmon to regen run energy after every time you finish 1 attempt of the minigame. Buy 50 lockpicks while you're here

Equip the set and go back to blackjacking until you have 2.4m GP (around 83 thieving)

📍 Pollnivneach🎯 83 thieving
If you really just can't stand thieving, you could go do LMS and sell rune arrows to a shop for your GP, but you don't get any XP from that so that's why I don't really recommend it. 75 Thieving is needed for all hard diaries so at least get that before going LMS

Carpet back to Shantay pass

📍 Shantay Pass

If you got any cosmic runes from moss giants, or unlocked Ali's rune shop then make 1 or 2 dueling rings now to speed up next 2 quests

📍 Al Kharid

Start the Golem

📍 Uzer📜 The Golem
START ELEMENTAL WORKSHOP 2 BY READING THE BOOK WHILE AT DIGSITE, keep the 2 items in bank

Finish The Golem, get the gems with chisel and hammer

📍 Uzer📜 The Golem ✓
You can cut the Uzer teak tree, mine 5 clay and catch a golden warbler bird near the desert phoenix for diaries during the quest

Do Shadow of the storm (should have priest gown and black wizard hat in bank as your black items)

📍 Uzer📜 Shadow of the Storm ✓
10K reward on RANGED. Flinch the demon with rune scimitar, just switch to darklight for the last hit. If you didn't get r scim while training mage, go buy a rune sword from champions guild. Make an attack potion for the fight, speeds it up slightly

Go to Edgeville and talk to Oziach to continue Dragon slayer

📍 Edgeville

Go to mage bank and buy 6k nats, all of the cosmics you can get while buying nats and 10 law runes each world up to 300 laws

📍 Mage Bank
⚠️ HCIM: HCIM can buy them from ali morrisane if you don't wanna risk mage bank, although they're more expensive

Teleport to Falador

📍 Falador

Get 2 buckets of sap from this tree near falador east bank

📍 Falador

Buy addy and rune picks from the pickaxe shop in the mines

📍 Falador

Complete Varrock easy diary for the armour, makes next step a bit faster

📍 Varrock
You can get the kudos requirement by talking to historian Minas on the 2nd floor. Use the museum lamps on herblore. Still not 30 herb, use diary lamp on agility

Mine 2300 iron ore at ardy monastery, superheat them while walking to Ardy bank and tele back with ardy cloak

📍 Ardougne Monastery
3 ticking makes this a lot faster if you can be bothered. Do medium clues if you get any from mining, might get a yew bow from reward (Comp bow works too, for temple of ikov). There are plenty of ways to get your magic up, i just like this since you get mining, smithing and later fletching xp as well. Don't smith the bars into anything yet
