i got so many yesterday i cant believe it, i have 4k sticks red topaz machete and a full set of tai bwo clothes, the secret? well i cant tell u its a secret silly....ok fine... go to the gnome stronghold, on the second floor go to the barman just west of the ladder, go buy all the drinks u can and bank (just east of the ladder) go get more, reapeat till u have about 100 drinks, preferably about 15 of each, switch world if u have to
now to make sticks with em, take em all out, in notes, go to tai bwo villiage and sell them to the guy in the middle (gabooty) and sell him 5 of each drink (check to see if he has any in stock, the more he has the less he buys for) switch worlds and sell 5 of each drink to each world, ull get about 1600 sticks with 100 drinks like that but if u get 200 then ul get abotu 3k not bad and very fast
the first 7 drinks that gabooty's store stocks are player made ones, they sell for the same price but unstock fast, the second 7 are storebought from the stronghold.
it might be hard to get drinks and sell to an empty stock, but in time things will calm down a bit
also, if your done shilo villiage quest then u can mine gemrock and sell him your cut opals jades and red topaz, cut sells for more than uncut, unlike amongst players with normal gems, but remember, less stock is more sticks for u
once u have a red topaz machete, cutting jungles is easy as cake, just cut dense jungle (gets u best favour, and if u do this its faster than fixing fence imo) and then instead of dropping thatches, use em with ur machete (ull have to de equip it) u get skewer sticks, when u kill spiders they drop carcasses, pick em up and use em with the skewer sticks, then when u have spiders on a stick cook em, theres a fire south of the village, well 2 of them
places of people to collect favour from
