From my experience, ROW helps with all valuable drops, not just rares. I seem to get more runes from ankous with then without. And even if sometimes it seems otherwise, it'll never hurt. Remember, the drops are random.

If it hits, it will hit the same if you have 1 range or 99 However, you will be MUCH more likely to hit at a higher range level. At your range, you'll see tons of zeros with the occasional hit. I would recommend leveling your range higher before trying the cannon, or at least use it on very low defense monsters.

From what I've heard, it's: 1/250 from steels 1/500 from iron 1/1000 from bronze Seems about right, as I've killed 200something steels with no sign of anything dragon...

Let's say you average 180 xp per cast. It costs approximately 1.1k per ice blitz, so 6.1gp per xp. Compare that to alching yew long bows: Approx. 100 gp per spell for 65 xp = 1.5 gp per xp. No, I don't think that's good... Although ice blitzing is faster and less boring, the time it would take to make up the extra money far outweighs the speed. The only time I'd use it is if your a really rich and bored player. Otherwise, stick to high alching.

Another theory I've heard is that the higher the kill count the more likely you are to get better runes, but not greater amounts of runes. For example, the guy who got over 10k kill count got every type of rune available from barrows, but a normal amount of them.

Himm... I've seen a pic of a guy hitting 100 on a shade with full dharoks... That was before the Tarn's Lair update with +5% higher strength on shades, so I believe the current max is 105. You could also get something close to that with vengeance on Jad... 99 hp with sara brews = a 115 hit, not sure exactally how much would reflect back but I think around 3/4. Personally, I think it's just a rumor or possibly a bug/glitch that the girl found.

Taverly dungen is the best place, but 70 agility helps a LOT. I recently got 70 just for that, and although training it was annoying, it's worth it for the shortcut. Bring crystal bow, the speed that you kill them makes up for the expense of recharging, and bring black d hide w/ archer helm and boots of lightness or ranger boots. For cape, wear either Ava's Attractor (+3 range) or spotty/spottier capes. The light boots/cape are to help you maintain run energy while running to/from the bank. A Falador teleport is recommended to help speed up banking.

Yes, you should be able to complete it with your stats. And yes, you will still get the bow after completion, but you will not be able to weild it untill 70 range.

No, you can use the spell at any mage level without having to unlock it. However, you must have unlocked the spell at the Mage Training Arena to make the tablets.

Although I was already aware of that area, thanks for the recommendation and picture. Keep the suggestions coming!

I just realized something - I can only do about four loads of 13 drags each (room for degrade bow and best drop) per hour. 54 drags an hour @ 432 xp per drag = 23k xp per hour. Now I know that you make money from the drops, but it's only about 2k profit per drag, so 108k per hour. This dosn't seem very fast xp, but if my figures are wrong please correct me... In the meantime, I still need more suggestions.

Coming from someone with 99 range, I think that just convinced me to do blue drags. I'll sell or craft hides to pay for recharges, and save the bones for use with a guilded altar for prayer. Thanks a lot for your help! Off topic: I just noticed we have the same total level...

Never 100% success (I've never proved it, although I'm 99 cooking), but supposedly the burn rate at 99 is somewhere around 1/5000. Makes me feel sorry for the poor guy who spent hours filming and cooking at level 99 just so he could get himself burning one...

Hey... I had forgotten about that. I remember seeing it in a Tip.It interview (found it here), but never thought of it much. I wish it could be faster range xp, but it sounds pretty good, and I might give it a shot. Thanks a lot! However, I'm still open to more suggestions.

Ok, I have a problem. In castle wars, I need an effective way to take out high level players without taking too much damage. I found another person with a great way - cast ice blitz or barrage, then step back and let fly with your crystal bow. This method requires 82+ mage and 90+ range for optimal success. I'm desperate to get at least 90 range, from my current level of 77, as quickly as possible without spending too much money. I don't want to spend more then 1-2 gp per xp, so chinchompas and cannon are a bit out of my price range. All I'm interested in is range xp, not slayer, so don't suggest "train range with slayer". I need specifics, such as: Where: What monsters and where they can be found What weapons: What bow/ammo or knives should I use Advantages: Why this spot is better then most for training Currently I'm thinking of training at bandits with MSB and mith arrows, using food or guthans to heal. If you have a better place, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -DeviledEgg24

No, the effects do not stack. Evil stew raises your stats 6 above your base skill level, not the level it is currently at.

Anything that raises your level will work. You need to climb a beard for agility, and cut down a beanstalk for woodcutting.

RSN: DeviledEgg24 Requesting: Guilded Altar with Marble Burners to burn 1.2k d bones Timeframe: Usually 1PM - 11PM Central Time How to Contact: PM me on forums, chat in game is on FRIENDS Additional Info: I can light burners, or supply marrentils.

Canon gives twice the xp per hit, one half of the regular 4x per hit. Figure out how often and hard you hit on hellhounds to figure out the xp/c ball rate.

I don't think rune armor EVER breaks, I've gotten over 4k tokens and have yet to lose a piece. I'd go with rune armor, but beings it rarely hits, I prefer to melee it with a spare armor set, such as proslyte, and a whip. The bank and food store are nearby, and whip hits a lot faster then a hally, resulting in more tokens per hour.

He says he wants to train to 60 strength then become a member, so pest control is out of the question. Minuators are good, and if you want to fight slightly higher levels, try the flesh crawlers. However, they tend to hit a lot when you have 1 defense.

*sigh* my account has been saying it's "logged in" for the past 20 minutes. Hope this blows over soon...

Is there actually a pattern to this? I noticed that if I give him a marrentil I always get a reg anti (4) Yep - He will ask for the highest level herb in your invintory. Give it to him, and he will give you four doses of the lowest level potion made with that herb.

Yes, Infinity robes require 25 defense: Ghostly robes are the best mage boosting plate, legs, and helm that can be worn with 1 defense.
