Many skills in Old School RuneScape can be trained while standing at a bank, making them perfect for automation with PowerfulWizard. Skills like Fletching, Herblore, Cooking, and Crafting involve repetitive clicking patterns that can be automated. This guide covers setting up sequences for various bank-standing activities.
Bank standing skills are activities you can do while standing next to a bank, using materials from your bank to create items. These skills typically involve clicking items in your inventory, using them on other items, or clicking bank interfaces repeatedly.
Popular bank standing skills include Fletching arrows or darts, making potions in Herblore, cooking food, and crafting jewelry. Each skill has different clicking patterns and timing requirements.
Fletching involves using a knife on logs to create unstrung bows, or using feathers on arrow shafts. For arrow fletching, you'll click feathers in your inventory, then click arrow shafts, repeating until your inventory is full.
Create a sequence with two steps: one clicks feathers, the other clicks arrow shafts. Set appropriate timing between clicks, usually 500-1000 milliseconds. After completing an inventory, add steps to bank the finished arrows and withdraw more materials.
For bow fletching, the pattern is similar but involves using a knife on logs. Create sequences that click the knife, click logs, wait for the fletching animation, then repeat.
Herblore involves combining herbs with vials of water to create potions. The basic pattern is clicking herbs, clicking vials, waiting for the potion creation, then repeating.
Create a sequence with steps for clicking herbs and vials. Timing depends on your Herblore level and the potion type, usually 2000-4000 milliseconds per potion. After completing an inventory, add steps to bank potions and withdraw more materials.
For secondary ingredient potions, add steps for clicking secondary ingredients after combining herbs and vials. This creates more complex sequences but allows for higher level potion making.
Cooking involves using raw food on ranges or fires. The pattern is clicking raw food, clicking the range or fire, waiting for cooking, then repeating. Some foods cook faster than others, so adjust timing accordingly.
Create sequences that click raw food, then click the cooking source. Timing varies by food type and Cooking level, usually 2000-3000 milliseconds per item. After burning food becomes rare at higher levels, you can cook entire inventories without banking.
For efficient cooking, set up sequences that cook entire inventories, then bank and withdraw more raw food. This maximizes experience rates while minimizing banking time.
Crafting involves using materials to create items like jewelry, armor, or other equipment. The pattern depends on what you're crafting, but typically involves clicking materials, clicking tools or other materials, then waiting for creation.
For jewelry crafting, create sequences that click gems, click gold bars, wait for creation, then repeat. Timing depends on the jewelry type and your Crafting level, usually 2000-4000 milliseconds per item.
After completing an inventory, add steps to bank finished items and withdraw more materials. Some crafting activities require using items on other items, which needs more complex sequences.
Most bank standing skills require frequent banking. You can automate bank interactions by adding steps that click the bank, deposit items, withdraw materials, then close the bank interface.
Create sequences that include banking steps between skill activities. For example, after fletching an inventory of arrows, add steps to click the bank, deposit arrows, withdraw feathers and arrow shafts, then close the bank.
Bank interface timing is important. Make sure to wait for the bank interface to open before clicking deposit or withdraw buttons. Usually 500-1000 milliseconds is enough for bank interfaces to load.
PowerfulWizard's color detection can help ensure bank interfaces open correctly or items are selected properly. You can detect when bank interfaces appear, or detect when items change in your inventory.
For example, you might detect when the bank interface opens, then proceed with deposit and withdraw steps. This makes sequences more reliable and less dependent on fixed timers.
Bank standing skills have different timing requirements based on skill level, item type, and game lag. Start with conservative timings and adjust based on testing. Higher skill levels usually mean faster actions, so you can reduce intervals as you level up.
Use random deviation to add variation to your timings. A deviation of 200-500 milliseconds works well for most bank standing activities. This makes automation look more natural and less detectable.
Account for animation times when setting intervals. Some skills have longer animations than others, so make sure your timing accounts for the full action cycle.
Set up hotkeys for quick control during bank standing activities. You'll want to be able to stop automation quickly if something goes wrong or if you need to respond to in-game events.
Practice using your hotkeys before running long sessions. Bank standing activities can run for extended periods, so you want reliable control over when automation starts and stops.
Before running extended automation, test your sequences with small batches. Verify that items are being created correctly, that banking works properly, and that timing is appropriate for your skill level.
Watch your character perform the actions and check that clicks are happening at the right times and locations. Use the visual area selection feature to see exactly where clicks will happen.
Using automation tools violates Jagex's terms of service for Old School RuneScape. Automated gameplay can result in permanent account bans. Use PowerfulWizard at your own risk and understand that detection is always possible.
Bank standing activities are often more detectable than other automation because they involve repetitive patterns in fixed locations. To reduce detection risk, use random timing variations, don't run automation for extended periods, and mix in manual gameplay.
Consider the value of your account before using automation. High-level accounts with valuable items are at greater risk if banned. Many players prefer manual training to avoid this risk entirely.
Different methods offer different experience rates for bank standing skills. Higher level items usually give more experience but may take longer to create. Find a balance between experience rate and time investment.
For maximum experience per hour, focus on methods that match your level and can be performed efficiently. Some methods are more profitable but slower, while others are faster but more expensive.
Remember that automation is a tool, and how you use it is your responsibility. Always follow game terms of service and use automation tools responsibly.
