Skill training guides

The Old School RuneScape Wiki also has an article on: osrsw:Skill training guidesThe RuneScape Classic Wiki also has an article on: classicrsw:Training

Training is an activity done in order to increase a player's experience in one or more skills. Activities which are not done primarily for gaining experience are not usually considered to be training (for example, fighting the King Black Dragon in order to obtain rare item drops).
