An easier way to get buckets of slime (save you the trip down to the ectoplasm pool each time) is to buy them from the Charter Boat traders. The one south of Catherby is good because it's rather close to the bank. You will need to world hop though.
My members expired yesterday too ^_^. Ya I would definitely recommend logging in now and then to make sure everything it still yours. And I'd personally bank the rare with a bank pin.
Just go to world 1, north of varrock west bank. Sit there for 5 minutes and you have your prices. Buyers want 550k-600k, while sellers won't sell for much lower than 625k.
If melee still doesn't work for you, I heard mage rips apart the Giant Scarab. Sounds good, Im still curius about what you wore? Melee defence, or Mage? Oh I just went with good ol' Black Dragonhide. Had dark gloves, rune boots, warrior helmet, glory, guthix cape and rune defender.
Ya, I'd do 100% Maples and 50% Flax. Beware of selling maples though. There are A LOT of sellers now and prices can vary from 80-90 each, depending on the amount of sellers that day.
whoah...just whoah..isn't high str and hp the main reason for pures??? You sir, have no idea what you are talking about. on topic..yes please go train on monsters... monsters>portals Some do, some don't. Matter of preference.
Doesn't the Dwarf who owns the cannon who shoots you into the Gold Vein, have a pair of Granite Boots? I remember being able to offer money to buy it from him but never actually did it. But nice find!
