Runescape 3 afk killing cows

[Crownhead]

Is being afk and having your hero kill cows while afk not allowed? Do I have to right click cows constantly to level up my hero or is there some better way of doing this? like have my hero go around inside the fences killing them?

there is something called auto retaliate, but that only works, when the enemies are Aggressive towards you. There is a aggresion potion, that makes every mob aggressive towards you, but it's really expensive.
You should do many quests as a new player. they have some very great xp rewards. You should immediately do knights sword and if you are a member, the most important quest is waterfall quest, because you get so much melee xp from this quest.
The official runescape wiki has some great guides. you can use the ingame chat to open the wiki.
For example "/wiki waterfall quest"
It will then open this page in your webbrowser.

Thank you very much for the advice, I stumbled across a player called "Kabibe" who I had never met before and while doing the knights sword quest protected me against mobs I couldnt deal much damage to at all, while i mined the blue ore, we parted ways. Im not a member but im considering it, but in the mean time is there an easy mob that I can auto retaliate to? the best amour I can actually equip is iron so you can probley tell im fairly new

sadly you won't be finding afk methods of training for combat until mid tier gaming and once you're the late game stage you'll be able to practically afk 90% of things but mobs at your level aren't aggressive for a reason so new players don't get spawn camped :D

The earliest autoattack mob is Flesh Crawlers I think in the Stronghold of Security, and then Red Dead Spiders

sorry forgot to add as a member you have a couple of very easy quests that will instantly allow you to skip a lot of early combat content the following quest's can be done in order from a fresh account with no gear really i recommend you use a guide from youtube to do these as fast as possible you should be 40+ on attack / strength / defence after finishing the following quest's dragon slayer may require some other quests to meet the 33 quest point requirement but thats not hard.

Waterfall Quest - 13,750 Attack XP | 13,750 Strength XP
Gnome Village - 11,1450 Attack XP
Fight Arena - 12,175 Attack XP
Holy Grail - 15,300 Defence XP | 11,000 Prayer XP
Witch's House - 6,325 Constitution XP
Dragon Slayer - 18,650 Strength XP | 18,650 Defence XP

Afking against aggro monsters is not against the rules. However as a f2p player you don't have many options with aggressive monsters, flesh crawlers are no longer aggressive.

There is an risky option that I used to get my attack, strength, and defence levels to 50 on f2p. That method was by afking against monsters in the wilderness, most monsters in the wilderness are aggressive.

I don't recommend doing this if you are worried about getting pked and possibly losing the items that you bring. I also don't recommend this if you are a hardcore iron that wants to keep the hardcore status.

If you decide to do this, you do so at your own risk.

Thanks so much. I am totally new to the game. its really cool and i wanted to use the "afk feature" for relaxing evenings, where you can leave your computer a few minutes and come back. And i didnt understand the whole afk farming thing. And at this point, i was afraid to ask. :D Now its better for combat afk.

One Question:

So I got auto-logged.off after a few minutes, is it allowed to use some kind of auto click?

How do you guys afking?

Thank You :-)

No. You need to press a key or move the mouse to prevent the logout timer booting you back to the lobby, which happens after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Combat stops this, since you can't log out or lobby in combat.
Using an auto-clicker will get you banned.

Thank You :-) :cf_girl:

use a program called alt1 it has something called afkwarden, its basically a timer you can set to 4:30 to avoid getting logged, its clue scroll solver is pretty nice too

a middle mouse click works as activity also

[Zerpent]

Thank You so much :-)

Do not use any programs, you run the chance of the bot detecting software picking up your pattern of automated clicks every certain time. Macro major= perma ban

Just want to point out that this is false. If you are afk for 5 minutes you will still logout even in combat. This happens to me frequently while afking Turoths.

This is true for macro and botting but alt1 is a screen overlay and is completely fine and used by many even mods

[DevilDaRebel]

Any type of automated program is banned.

right? again alt1 is a screen overlay, it doesn't touch the game, it's safe and accepted, go look up it up if you want, seen mods use it, i've been using it for years, so does MANY other people

There is obviously a stance on 3rd party software, as a company they could never say go ahead, they use words like, use at your own risk etc, which is fair enough.

There's basically zero difference between having alt1 afkwarden on screen as a timer to having your phone on the table as a timer, it's inconceivable to think a game company would ban someone for using an on screen timer, what's next, use the wiki and get banned, think about it logically.
