[@mylesmiller5979]

lmao fr

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

I think AFK has also just started to mean you don’t have to pay complete attention the whole time, and that it’s easy to do certain things at the same time. For some skills, that isn’t the case at all, you have to pay complete attention. (At least if you want to the be most efficient and/or earn money)

lol right! I couldn't make toast in 30secs, but it is better than nothing

My dad always supported me and would pay for a year of membership on my birthday during the years I was most active. He never got it, but during my time playing I spent 80% of the time doing multiple things, my favorite of which was learning. I was homeschooled through a private school that sent you your work for the year and you would mail it in to have it graded. My deal with myself during the school year was I could play as long as I wanted as long as I also did schoolwork. I finished high school before I turned 16 and picked up a ton of hobbies and read a lot of books. I explained it to him later in life when he asked how I could type so fast which was a benefit of playing pre GE and getting 99 fishing the first time on free to play before my friend jacked my account and I got 99 fishing again on members

[@cedricrey3371]

[@slaterwilliams3843]

You take what you can get you know, but I know what you mean, Ive seen people vigorously arguing that Agility is afk. Wild stuff lol.

[@troy6254]

Anytime you go away from keyboard is afk

[@harrisonchambers29]

In a game with a logout timer of 5 minutes, you can be away from the main window. For a little under a 1/5th of your log in time. If you need a truly afk activity during work, farm ammonite crabs. That's literally as afk as you can get in the game.

[@aaronnekrin5150]

Yea used to be like afk till log timer

[@gluehuffer6955]

@@harrisonchambers29 I have good news for ya, that is not the most afk you can get. At higher combats bandits never lose aggro and you have 20 minutes until you log out. Con is that you need to eat periodically/use guthans. Higher combat and def makes it more afk, also better gear obviously.

[@draw4yourlife3]

Its a bit out there but you should show npc aggression lines within the NPC aggression plug in, it shows where you need to run to re aggro, can sometimes be a couple steps to the side to re aggro! Helpful for sand crabs instead of running of the screen you just run 2/3 tiles

You can afk thieving at sorceress garden if you do the 1 click method. About 120k xp a hour if I'm correct as well. Think it is about 30 seconds to run the maze.

[@akiponki]

Thieving Summer sq'irkjuice in the Sorceress's Garden minigame is 140k thieving xp/h and requires a few clicks every 20 or so seconds.

[@Budabaii]

You didn't mention Summer garden for thieving afk training. It is really hard to set it correctly, but if you do so, you can basically 1 click take the fruit and run past the guards every time for every 40 seconds.

Thieving is super easy with mobile. Trap an ardy knight(or find a world with a splasher) and then turn off npc attack option. Then just keep tapping a bunch. You can get a moneybag every single tick and just have to open them every so often.

Training is not "playing the game". You play the game once you've reached certain thresholds, meaning getting a fully enjoyable experience is typically blocked off by those thresholds. Just like real life, you don't enjoy grinding the gym to get that perfect body, or hitting the books to get that good grade. You enjoy the fruits of your labor after the fact.

While it is still technically considered afk, it would be better described as idle. The vast majority of tasks/actions that require players to go afk can easily take longer than 5 or 10 minutes, which is only met by a few of the skills you listed. In other games where the inventory is significantly larger, you probably could consider crafting a task that can be afked, but otherwise, it's just considered idling
