Member Skills... Why?

I have seen some nice guides here on how to advance effectively in member skills, but I don't really remember seeing the point of them listed anywhere.

If this exists, please point me to it, but here are the questions:

What does agility do? I believe it has something to do with running. Can you run for a longer time, or do you regenerate your percentage faster?

What is herb lore for? Just for poisoning weapons?

What good is the slayer skill? Do you hit harder, occasionally kill in one hit?

Are there other questions that I am missing? Thanks.

Agility is mainly used in quests..to pass obsticals however it does allow your energy to go up faster the higher it gets.

Herblore can be used to help poison weapons (level 60 needed) however it also makes potions. Attack, defence, strength potions..all boost your stats..you can also get super versions. Prayer potions ect. All very handy.



Slayer allows us to kill certain monsters. Sick of everyone hogging a monster? Fight a slayer monster. Unless they have a high enough slayer level they can't win.

Another thing alot of people don't grasp is the
benefits of fighting slayer monsters...
And that is...

The Loot!

Slayer monsters drop some very
rare and interesting items.
Also Slayer is a way to force
me to train combat

Thank you all very much.

Kudos to the rsbandb crew. This is a great community.

You answered a question that I forgot to ask in that during your slayer training. If it asks you to kill 100 cows or whatever, you're still getting the combat exp that you would if you weren't on a combat mission. True?

Great work all. I appreciate it.

Yes you get the combat exp and the slayer exp. Also if you do the killing hit on a monster but some1 else takes most of its hits away, but you kill it you both get half the slayer exp that the monster would normally give and probably some1 getting mad at you too

exactly,this is the better things we get for being part of rs community

Agility: If you've ever pked and got frustrated because you ran out of energy, well agility means you get a faster restore of energy, maybe just enough that you get that little more than your opponent to catch him when your both out, or to esacpe when your getting chased, aswell as quests, and special training locations that require agility to get into.

Herblore: Herblore is more than weapon poisoning. You can make a variety of different potions for different situations, perhaps you want to pk, and have an advantage over your foe with some level enhancing potions, wether it be, attack, str or defence potions or super attack, str or defence. Other potions like Anti-Fire can be used to help you fight the most legendary foes, like dragons, and energy potions can help you get around the world faster.

Slayer Skill: I agree with you here, its pretty dam(n) pointless, but it does mean you can fight new monsters.

I jsut herd it as a rumour thanks for clearing that up , but when im fighting monsters i usually find myself having 100 energy very fast. seeing as i aint moving
