I don't know if it will let you go to Aviansies with lower range than 70. Only because it says in the requirements that you need 70 range. Nope, you only have to have 70 to get into Armadyl's Eyre. The main room can be accessed without a range requirement.

Do black demons. Waterfiends + 40 def + 1 prayer = epic fail

I don't have the exact numbers for blast furnace (they vary), but I know gold bars is better then iron knives, and I'm fairly confident it's better then blast furnace too.

*sigh* I was going to avoid this thread, but since no one seems to have a clue: 215 XP\grey chin, 380gp\chin 3,500,000 XP / 215 = 16,279 chins = 16 hours = 6,186,020 GP Hope that helps.

I've played 50+ games, and won the vast majority of them, including ones against highly ranked and skillful players with better stats then myself. Just because I'm almost maxed doesn't mean I'm better then everyone else there. Strategy? Ever used terrain dodging, for example? If you time your clicks right, you can dance around a house with an opponent for 20+ seconds. Switching to a far house quickly can keep you out of your opponents magic spell range, where you can dodge and get him trapped on one of the corner obstacles, before running back to the center and heading for the far edge of the far house. There's far too many stratagems to list here (hence the guides about it), but suffice to say that I'm pretty good at it yet I have been beaten by far lower levels.

Of course. Facepunch is one of the stricter forums, but the quality is relatively moderate. Here are some of the most common reasons for bans: "Dumb Thread" = Like this one, offers nothing. Permaban "Wrong section" = 7 day ban and thread is moved/deleted. "Troll" = Obvious troll posts. One offense can equal a permaban. "[wagon]" = Makes asinine posts like Google's URL to get someone to search. Also a first offense permaban "Banme" = Post serves nothing other than to get the post starter a ban. Permaban. "Posting in a banme" = Anyone who replies to an obvious banme thread. Instant, permaban. You can also get banned for several hours to several days at a time for the above, depending on who the moderator or admin is banning you. You can also get temp-banned for reposting an existing topic, complaining about mods (The forums are a democracy. Your choices are live with it or go away), predicting moderation (IE: In before lock/ban), and a whole host of other things that an admin may choose (IE: Not funny, image macro, missed ___ thread) But the idiot culls are the best. Last year, they culled over 200 people with a simple poll. The third option was "HURR COMEDY" (Gets you banned)", everyone who chose it got permabanned. They ban hundreds every year with this, just because it's necessary to get rid of the idiots. Tip.It needs a culling. That's amazing. Honestly. Mabye tip.it should have an IQ test before you get in, with a minimum of 130 scored. Then again, there would only be a couple people left. Mabye 120 or so would be a better balance.

I'm not a moron. I have, however, been beaten by a level 60somthing who was good at strategy. And I'm pretty darn good at the game; I've lost 4 games total with 500+ rank.

98.7%

That's not good. How many blackmarks did you have before? Were you on last chance? Was this your last chance appeal? Did your black marks go back to what they were before, or were they more or less?

It'll be gone come christmas...

What is said cannot be unsaid Oh but it can. Look next to your post and you'll see a button labeled "edit". What is said AND quoted cannot be unsaid unless by the quoter or a mod/admin. Else one keylogs the offending quoter's computer. Mine is probably Muggi, but he isn't around much any more. Basically anyone with decent mathematics skills and an affinity for accuracy :P

This is rather tricky. Your not supposed to post messages from Jagex, so could you tell use word-for-word what the 'misunderstanding' was, what your appeal was, and how it was accepted?

Fletching was long ago when a profit was pretty standard. I went from around 3-4m to about 12 leveling my fletching. I did my bow making in Camelot on a busy trade world and waited for the right price for my logs and my strings. When I had enough logs I went to world 172 I believe for the unofficial guild and waited for the right person to offer me top dollar for my bows. I was in no hurry so was able to wait the higher prices out. Profit was quite nice. As to cooking you are correct, I did use my kingdom for the fish. And the profit I guess you could attribute to the kingdom. However where as most players would pay quite a bit of gold for lobbies and monks, I was paying 57 for tuna and 190 for my swordies, both of which sold for nearly double what I paid for them in the kingdom. In other words instead of spending the 6m or so for the 99 I was able to cook my way to 99 for free while my kingdom was providing me with the fish and the profit. I make it easier by saying I made money while cooking ;P If that makes sense. Firemaking...yeah it was a money loss but that adze is amazing for farming so worth it. Also I got my maples from the kingdom which resulted in tree seeds as well as profit from the fish so I probably either broke even or made a small profit plus farming exp. Man I love trees. But what you are failing to realize here is that profit does not matter, what matters to me is skilling with no loss. Sure my potential to earn money could have been higher if I had invested in other things BUT I did not lose any cash. Heck if I could do something and make 1 gold for the effort I would do it. What is important is that I do not lose anything, not whether I made the maximum potential for the alloted time. This is a game, not a job. And battlestaves: Zaff sells them for 7k each. Air orb costs around 1000 but we will round to 1100 for sake of argument. (993 medium atm) Nature Rune 250 (223 medium currently) Air Battlestave alchs for 9300. 9300 -7k (staff) -1100 (air orb) -250 (nature) ------------- 950 profit per staff And that is IF you do not make your own orbs (which I do, killer mage and crafting exp ftw) Where do you get a loss on battlestaves?????? I mean I even high balled everything and still came to a profit. And lastly, Ruby bracelets are as tedious to make as canonballs. Not worth my time ;P You can sell those exact same battlestaffs in the GE for 8.4k. They are worth 8.4k, NOT 7k. Just because you can get addy bars from avansies for ~50 gp in ammo does NOT mean the bars are worth 50 gp.

This argument is comparable to playing sports unprofessionally. I played football in highschool all four years. Our team made playoffs every year, and the seasons was probably around 12 weeks including two-a-days. During the season we practiced 2 hours a day after school, excluding friday, where we instead had a game.. So thats 11 weeks of 4 days a week. 44 days, 88 hours of practice during the regular and post season. also, we have 11 games, that required at least 6 hours of our time. 66 hours of game play. We had 1 week where we practiced 5 hours a day, 5 days. Thats 25 hours. 88+66+25=179 hours a year. 4 years is 636 hours spent on football alone(I also wrestled and pole vaulted)....So at your calculations, for playing football in highschool, something I enjoyed, I should receive £3,180...And that doesn't even include weightlifting all year as part of the program. So with your logic, a higschool football player should recieve £3,180 a year. Too bad that robots can do the same work that everyone else does to get their account to this (insane) value...and not to mention gold farmers in china would be willing to do it for mere pennies. A high school player can't make 5 pounds an hour easily. A Chinese gold farmer can't make 5 pounds an hour easily. Neither of them have those jobs available. I do. I can line up more work then I could ever do for 30-40$+ an hour as an independent computer consultant. My time is worth much more to me then a high school athlete's or a Chinese gold farmer. You are some what arrogant. Who the hell mentioned your earnings. He refered to a college footballer. Seriously, we do not care how much you earn. Might seem i am picking on you, but why are you worth more than a chinese gold farmer, or a college footballer? You are the definition of a joke. First off, 5 pounds is about 7.35 an hour. Most high school kids can make that easily at a job. Also you can quit talking about your wage. You're whole argument does nothing but support my argument. You can make $30-40 an hour with your work(which I doubt as all you are is a computer consultant, which requires no degree and most high school kids CAN do)....but we're not here to discuss your bs. Anyway, if you can make $30-40 an hour, then why don't you do something productive with your time and work 8 hours a day instead of playing runescape(not saying you don't)...My post wasn't talking about people who do make good use of your time. My post was talking about the people who spend all day going to college. I don't know any high school kids that work 8 hour shifts. Not that I know many of them, but you get the point. I do work an 8 hour day job, although my hours vary thanks to my business, giving me plenty of free time to unwind and relax. I COULD be working during those times, but I chose not to. My time, however, is STILL worth that.

I bought bandos chest and tassets a while ago, 14m for both I think it was. Raised my max hit by 1, I was a little disappointed until i remembered I got more defense with that higher hit. Looks pretty sweet too. :thumbup: Serious duelers (if there are any left?) might use the new max hit stuff. Doubtful they would want it to just show off.. Not likely. Aside from the new PVP equipment, torags is FAR better for PVP then bandos. Occassionally 1 higher hit or +60 defence? Not even a contest.

Ruby bracelets for crafting, 70k XP w\ 180k loss per hour = 3 GP\XP = less then 40m for 99.

I was under the impression that party hats crashing was a result of Jagex. People also used to talk a fair bit about "frozen prices" on godswords; I assumed that was tampering as well. I don't purchase many valuable items, so I rely on what I hear from other (often ignorant) players. What exactly happened in those situations? The GE updates every time a certain number of items are bought\sold, and changes to the average price that they were bought\sold for. Party hats are so high that they are almost never bought, and as such almost never update. They are SLOWLY falling, but since so few are sold, they hardly ever update. Very very few items are currently stuck at their price ceilings\floors, and the ones that are are ususally there for a good reason. Blood runes are the only ones I can think of that have an impact on the game (I.E. it takes a few minutes to sell blood runes).

FTP or PTP? I don't think I've ever had that happen...

That is mostly true, but Jagex does mess with the prices of high-cost items occasionally. Gold ore however is indeed something we set ourselves. Only instance I can think of of Jagex changing prices is with granite, which was much better then having them take months\years to go back up. Other then that, it's simply items that update slowly because the buying margins are set too high.

I think she does.. She knows that the Hunted has reduced stats, she knows how to collect charges, I think she knows some FoG tactics too. I'm with compfreak here, you should really send in a bug report. People at those levels can easily damage me throu' 80 Defence. Bug report was sort of sarcastic, I'm of the opinion she's lying. She takes 5 minutes at level 81 to kill a level 98, with steady damage? I've had a level 34 kill me in under a minute. It could be a bug, though...

Please, let me in on this... The amount of helpful posts in H&A vs. repeats\wrong info is roughly 14:1. @ the OP: Construction has a crazy amount of uses, such as making prayer training 3x faster and barrows on ancients much easier. Not to mention this is a game, meant to be fun.

NEWS FLASH: YOU set the prices, NOT Jagex. If lots of people buy for high, it will go UP. If they buy for low, it will go DOWN. There are far too many other smithing options in PTP now, and gold is rather high IMO.

1/465 with wealth.

Ever since shortly after the shop update when Jagex changed it and put it on the main page...

Now even though you did mention that it did not factor in profit. You should indicate there is more to this statement. At Chincompas, what's the cash lost per hour? 600k? 700k? SC would therefore almost halve your potential experience, but save you 600-700k. Therefore, if you do Chincompas and make under 600-700k per hour, SC is worth it. At Aviansies, they are worth it because it nets you a bit less than 60k extra xp per hour, however forfeiting something like 500-600k per hour. So if you make more than 500-600k per hour, then SC is worth it. Darn D clawers. What? I did factor in profit there. Chinchompas + avansies = 160k XP, 0 profit. The cash lost at chins is made up for at avansies, with the XP averaged out.
