The best monster for you would definitely be cockroach soldiers. You can do a load in about 5 minutes if you are fast enough and pocket about 700k per hour depending on the drops. You would also get a lot of crimson charms and a few valuable rune item drops.

Magic notepapers are always good, but if you could try adding saradomin brews or some other potion that can have multiple functions. I see you didn't use any defense potions, they always help. I'd suggest you get a couple super defense flasks and you might be able to last a bit longer. If you want full protection from the fire attacks use super antis and you will also last longer.

Overall, Herblore is one of the most, if not, the most expensive skill in the game depending on how you train it. Your 200m calculation sounds about right for those levels. Try using a calculator or one of the spreadsheets mentioned above and you should see the exact amount it would cost you.

I have done waterfiends with a bunyip 75 defense and have killed them from about 70-75 - maxed Ranged and I must say they offer great experience rates, charms and some cash. I get about 500k an hour while gaining 150-200 crimsons and 200k Ranged Exp/Hour. You should try those. Blue dragons are also good, but incredibly boring. I'd suggest getting 70 agility and 67 summoning if you want to kill those efficiently.

For right now, the vine whip seems to be the most suitable option. If you want to use that until inventor comes out there may be a few non-degradable one-handed weapons that could come out with it. Other than that i'd suggest you use that until new ones come out to replace it as the new best alternative. Sattern.

It isn't efficient to repair ports armor using the materials because it costs a lot more than doing it by hand. It also saves you time from collecting the materials. Just collect the gold on death and buy a new one or get superior if you want to repair it that way. Sattern.

If you don't want to pay for the repairs, a staff of light is a good choice. I personally use it at 99 magic and have to say it is very powerful for its level. It also gives a bonus chance of not using any ruins every so often. Using a wand results in faster spell casting, but will have less accuracy unless you have a magic book to compensate for the loss. Sattern.

Just to let you know if you use a range helm, body and legs for example you will receive a decrease in damage output and accuracy by roughly 25-30% when using another attack style. the same goes for magic and melee gear when using another combat style to attack. Hope that helps, Sattern.

The only way to remove advertisements from the Runescape page is to either use an adblock plugin or purchase membership. Sattern.

If you want to degrade the shields you can go into the fight caves and get piled by all the monsters, that's the best way I can think of. Sattern.

I would suggest you get at least 90 thieving as you will only fail roughly 70% of the time compared to 80 or more. If you want to fail a lot less and don't want to get mad by failing so many times get 95. Sattern.

I would suggest you get 70 agility for the shortcut in the taverly resource dungeon. Then get 60 dungeoneering for the resource dungeon. You can make at least a mil per hour with your stats if you use guthan's (just get 70 defense). Don't forget your anti-fire potions or else you will die quickly! Sattern.

If you don't mind using gold charms, then killing giant rock crabs is the best as you get 3 charms per drop which would increase significantly. However, if you want to save time Waterfiends or Black Demons are your best options. Sattern.

I'd suggest using it on expensive skills like construction, summoning or herblore. You will be glad you chose one of those skills as you would save a headache and a load of cash. Sattern.

I'd suggest you choose to go with the elves as you will get more out of it. Sattern.
