I was over 90 cooking when the Swan Song quest was released. I have never burned a monkfish. And I used them to get from 95 at least to 99 cooking without gauntlets.

Fastest is gold with the smithing gauntlets. Another option is steel with coal coming from Kingdom rewards. Good luck

If you try the blast furnace, there is a nice guide to soloing it in the AOW http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=462483/ or the main tip it site under mini games here http://tip.it/runescape/?page=blast_furnace.htm Downside to the blast furnace is you cant make cannonballs. You can make plates and alch, or arrowheads, or knives.

The iron ore is so much faster to mine and easier to buy. If you want to recover cash you can sell the steel bars or make cannonballs. I would go with the steel bars. Good luck.

Grats on 99 Crafting. Good luck on 99 agility.

New map expansions to go with hunter skill = 100% P2P

It is an insane amount of experience to get to 99 in any skill. If you are only interested in combat level, then you need to try to keep all 3 as close to the same level as you can. Someone else advised setting more easily achievable goals. You might measure how much exp you are getting in an hour, and estimate how long it will take you at your current rate to get 5 levels. There are some things - like training on experiments, using potions, etc, - that will help increase experience per hour. Good luck.

There are already several good suggestions here. For free smithing, I did steel. I started by mining the ores. Then, I sold the bars and reinvested the cash in more ores. I tried to mine all the iron and at least half the coal. That way I made some profit while raising both mining and smithing. Good luck.

So much depends on your levels and what you like to do. Woodcutting, fishing and mining are the best free money makers, but they bore some people to tears. Merchanting is a way lots of people make money - but it bores me. Good luck and really decide what you like to do.

Ape atoll - it is so much less annoying than the tickets. You feel like you are getting somewhere as you do get experience as you go instead of all at once. And it is faster per hour.

I am just glad there is a way to recognize quests as an achievement. I joined as a member to be able to do the quests. I like the storylines. I use the guides if I am stuck or to get materials before I start if the quest is out of the way. I am quite proud of my quest cape. The real achievement will come as new quests are released. The "bragging rights" for being able to wear the cape when the next desert treasure or MEP2 will be big.

I seem to attract randoms by alching junk (steel 2h mostly) in a combat area. In other words, while killing jellies, I stop to alch and a random appears. I got 2 mimes today at the abyssal demons. I have not had any mimes in a looooong time.

No I have never had one. I have killed any imp I see, lots of jogres, lessers, goblins, ghouls. On to other things - maybe if I am not trying I will get one.

Seven - most of them beggars. Or people who would not take no for an answer. I usually leave people on there for a month or so.

Mining ores in dwarf mine and selling them to the store there. Making bronze whatever I could and selling it to the store. WC willows and selling them to the store. Long time ago - thanks for the memories. lol

Most of my recent randoms have been costume givers. I have had frogs, gravedigger, and 2 mimes since the new costume room was announced. Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it just me?

I want the strength cape - I am close to it. I need just over 700k exp to 99 strength. Out of all of them, I want the agility cape. Sooooo boring though.

Banshees also drop good herbs. Only need 15 slayer and earmuffs. You also have the chance of black mystic gloves and noted pure ess - both good for raising cash to buy seconds. The other reason I like the banshees - a lot of ppl are not there for the herbs and sometimes they leave the ones they cant ID. Or all of them. Also Aberrant Specters are good herb droppers. They also drop herb seeds. They require a higher slayer lvl and prayer pots. But I usually get more ranarr than I use prayer pots.

Pest control is fast and you actually get cash instead of spending it. I have gone from 77 to 89 prayer mostly with PC. You need a good group to play with though. It is really fastest for higher combat levels when you can play with a good team. Before that, I ectoed dragon bones.

Yes, I can also verify this. I missed a click and did not get any soda ash from the bank. It politely told me that I did not have any soda ash or seaweed. So I tried it with seaweed and it works quite well. I can not tell any difference in the amount of extra molten glass I get between soda ash and seaweed. That appears to be random.

Good luck

I mostly read. I post on about 1 in 50 or so I read.

Oops, I am the parent. I have 3 kids who play - as long as they get their work done they can play RS. I started playing when one of my kids wanted to play. I play more than they do.

I have been called bread. Not too bad. I get called BM - which where I come from is an abbreviation for a bathroom trip. At least one person who can't read has asked me what kind of beads I make. Mostly I get people asking me for free bread. My standard answer - it is on my kitchen counter. Come on by for some. And if you are wondering - I make sourdough bread for a hobby.

It also depends on how you play. People who do lots of quests will fill up bank space with hard to replace (or expensive to replace), but might be needed again things. Like the lunar quest outfit. People who do lots of different skills - like herblore - will fill many spots with the things needed for those. People who do one main thing or dont do quests, should have more free bank space. I do everything, so I keep mine mostly full all the time.
