Hey, goodluck. I've never really bothered reading Blog's but yours seems pretty active :D Im mining Pure Ess on my new pure... Its massively boring and im trying to get 10k so i can press on a finish writing my guide. How many essences can you manage an hour? Mine seems massively slow, but i still only have an addy pickaxe :P

I've made a staker and im about to hit 50 attack and im curious as to what combination would work best? Im keeping 11 pray (definitely wont increase it) and i've heard gmaul, ancients and range is an excellent method of playerkilling. I would probably get 82 mage, 85 strength and 80 range. However, dds/scimi pures with ancients are also good, but i'd probably not bother with any range and only get about 80 strength to save combat levels. Suggestions people?

Why would you gain ep? You need to RISK that amount, 75k, not wear it. For example, you'd need to wear rune plate, axe AND skull with it. Or, full rune and rune axe to make your 'risk' over 75k. Check the death thingy and it'll tell you how much you're risking.

I'd personally go for Ranging... I know you said a skill, but 99 Range with chins is easy as cake and you'd get loads of hitpoints xp too. As for skill, i'd pick crafting as its nice and easy.

Im doing Recipe for Disaster of my pure at the moment and im curious as to whether i can get assitance from other players to cook the quests items? Like Fishcakes for example...? There are also a number of other levels you need for subquests and related quests, so what skills can i exactly assist when completing a quest, if any?

Please point at where i flamed him? All i stated, which is quite true, is that slaying through magical means isn't that great. Them i pointed out some tasks that magic can be used on. This is Help & Advice and i gave advice on slaying with magic. If you don't like what i put, then ignore it. I think what he's trying to say is don't spam... If you'd count a helpful post, yet a little off-topic spam, then yeah... He meant spam. Or he was referring to the guy above who posted something useless. Nevertheless, you definitely weren't flaming him..

A few months back i wrote off my £8,500 renault clio sport. It was a 1.9 litre and i was on my way home from work. It was late and wet and i took a bend that lead onto a bridge, without realising i hit the gas instead of the brake, accelerated from 25-40 miles an hour in a matter of seconds then, bang! hit the bridge head on. It was made of solid concrete and upon impact, as i hit on at the side and not head on, the air bag did not deploy and i skidded more than 30 yards across and down the road. I smashed my head on the windscreen, busted a few ribs and was coughing up blood for a few days.

You don't log out if you're in combat, skilling or doing anything constructive, do you? Only when you stop doing that action. What exactly did you want to do while afking?

Yeah. Thanks, i've just completed it :P Died twice but im proud i managed it with 10 hp ;p May thanks

i acidentally forgot to place the urn on the mound and i washed out... question; do i need 6 more of each rune or does it stay the same?

The Elf dude... He's at the end of the tunnel i think. You may need all the items again, or you can get it from the guy next to the monkey palace place. I did it at like 40 combat with 50 range and 1 pray. Just pray mage and you can kill it with 20 range eventually.

I got bored of my main account and i've decided to create a pure. My questions are; What are the best beginner quests i can do to gain as much xp in hitpoints, strength, mage, range and attack? -Im currently doing the waterfall quest so thats 13.5k xp in attack and strenght. Are there any decent quests that will give me a good amount of mining xp? I intend to mine pures essence for my money Are there any other good quests you'd suggest that will help me in the beginning? For example quests to raise my non-combat stats that i'll need in things like Lost City -wc for example. Many thanks :D

Well it is against the rules to leave your keyboard... However, if you were genuinely attacking bandits at your keyboard and fell asleep on the mouse mat, would they discipline you? Hard to say who is actually AFK and who is on the phone at the keyboard, watching tv etc... However, dont do it...

Yes, however 26k tricking has been around for alot longer than a week... People cannot always assume that every price rise in the GE is a direct result of this flaw in Runescape... Maybe, just maybe, legitimate Rc'ers actually want to train the skill? Also, pure ess is one of the few materials that can actually make a player money - for example, 10,000 26k trickers choose to buy 1million ess with their spoils... So, they now make 1million nats and as a result have 200+ million in raw cash. This cash then gets spent on Ess over and over untill 99... If you use these basic mathmatics, Rcers are one of the few 26k trickers that will actually make money and continue to make money and spend it on more and more ess... This appears to be the logical thing to do, and therefore, from this point of view, ess wont fall until every single 26k tricker has 99 rc... Thats one theory

In 180 days they've risen by like 8% and in the last few weeks about 6gp per... I dont see how that is a significant difference? To be honest, everyone will always want ess so even when 26king is gone, it'll never truly 'crash'

1. Well, in theory you should acquire around 180% more xp using Reds as the range bonuses would suggest this. 2. I heard if you're not achieving 200 xp per chin you're wasting them 3. i'd suggest with the best armour maybe 25-28k?

Head: Iron full helm Body: Iron body Legs: Black d'hide chaps Boots: Climbing boots Necklace: Fury amulet Wrist: Combat bracelet/black vamps Shield: Saradomin pray book Ring slot: Zerker ring? You asked the most effective DEFENCE boosts... I think these are the most ideal.

The only reason they're useful is the specs - to be honest, a whip and defender or obby shield is by far a better option. I used an SGS for a short while yesterday on attack and the attack rate is much slower than a whip (i thought) and i kept getting owned by my slayer assignments. Unless you have Bandos/Barrows armour for defence bonus, i'd stick with the whip. I think the obby shield is crap tbh, its only used cos of the str bonus and the defender seems like way to much trouble to get. Too much trouble? Damn... What on earth do you use then? A rune kite?... A god book?... The defender is the best shield slot weapon in the game... Not only does it give a huge boost on attack, it also improve strength. Its really easy to get... Just kill stuff, then more stuff, then be patient.

Well goodluck with that... I've done well over 500 level 3 clues and the most i've gotten is a Z skirt and helm. But theres no problem trying...

Not really... Its a way to beat the sytem, gain xp and gain additional money from prices that are not accounted for over the Grand Exchange. In fact, i think its very far from re-tard-ed

lol i was curious i looked at it and thought " dam this looks kool" so i tried it onces all the other times i took the lamps P.S. i got lamps in the bank You cant bank lamps...

Use junk. People buy things like maples for 40ea and fletch them - the ge price of the box is like 144gp ea so you put them up as a part trade.

Im cosidering digging up and old account of mine i previously used as a playerkiller and want to know your views on my proposed account 50 attack 85 strength 1 defence 85 range 85 mage 1 pray or 13 pray depending on Ancients 81 hitpoints I will alch for the mage levels as i dont want my hitpoints to be mentally high. I intend to become a mauler however keep my options open for a f2p account (why i dont want 60 attack) My combat will be around 66-67, or around 70 with pray. I will make money mining pure ess through the varrock path before i can get into the mages guild and then i will alch through that. So, any thoughts? I might get 60 attack if i really dont want to do DT as blitz/maulers own but i definitely do not want high pray

Seriously guys, answer the bloody question in hand - he clearly doesn't care about slayer or your attitude to a little productive training. I trained alot there on my staker and found the xp rate was good, however i was using bones to peaches tabs and therefore had to maintain attention. I didnt think you could sell to the general store? Maybe cakes are the only food sources, i dont know. I acquired around 65k xp an hour with 90 atk/80 str so you would be looking at a little more as i did it without all these new updates that make training so much easier.
