good inventory for dust devils
He'll need food while he's gathering bones... True but 9 monks is overkill. Chances are you won't be alone anyway, and most people leave bones.

Achievement Embarrassment
Do it without stopping. If you are stuggling cos of lag and speed of your connection follow a friend.

Herb xp?
As long as you've done Throne of Micellania and Royal Trouble put 1.4mil in the coffers, and set it full herbs and half whatever you like (I have mine on coal). This gives you a week of stuff, then just add 525k in each week when you get your favour up.

Slayer
No, because the vast majority of the time I spend on here I'm at work and behind a firewall which bans things with "runescape" in them. Most sigs don't show for this reason. :( Slayer wise I keep pausing. On a bit of a run currently so am hoping for some decent XP before I get bored of fighting again. That said I need to do some mining and theiving...

poison ivy and gloves
They do get diseased, they just don't poison you when picked.

new gravestone?
Works forevermore. So my arguement is if you buy the 4 minute one for 50k and then spend 500k later on, you could save 50k by buying the 5 minute one outright. Also, yes they work on f2p servers and also protect you for 5 mins if you become ftp.

Slayer
Don't see it as training slayer. Train melee via slayer. That way the slayer levels become a bonus.

You need to start Giant Dwarf. Look for a map of Keldagrim, the location is on that.

Herb xp?
Don't rush herblore, if you do it little by little then you make cash and get decent XP. My method is to stick MTK 100% herbs and 50% best money maker. 525k a week is very little, you make it back most weeks through other ventures. You get a fair few herbs. Works out about 100 tarromin and harralander, 40-50 irit and avantoe, 25-30 ranarr, kwuarm, cadantine, lants and dwarf weeds. I store them up for a month then potion make en-mass buying seconds. The profitable potions make your money in seconds back easily, and then some. For example I did this last weekend, spent 2.5mil on seconds and made back 3.1mil. (vast majority of cost was swamp tar for harralander tar). I've used this since 70, and it's approximetley a level a month.

Draconis visage vs. Dragon chain
Kent beat me too it. Trying to make money with rare drops is like trying to feed your family with the proceeds of doing the lottery. If you do get it, then your sorted, if you don't then you're going hungry. You are far better off doing something with guarantees you a profit, even if it isn't millions per drop, as the time you invest makes it millions. Personally I would do slayer. Steady profit and you will get huge respect from your other players. Someone called me a PC Product last week, soon changed there tune when they found out I was 94 slayer and had worked for my levels. :thumbsup:

poison ivy and gloves
Ivy berries do not poison but the nightshade does (patch in Draynor Manor). The RFD gloves work as do the Penance gloves, only ones I've tested.

Warriors Guild and defenders
Steel to black is the hardest judging by previous posts. After that they tend to come quite fast. Just stick with it.

Tormented Demons Help
Duo them. Basically you and a mate double team them, one ranging and one meleeing. Works quite well I hear (will try myself at some point).

new gravestone?
Get the 500k one. Once bought you need never buy it again, so if you buy the 50k one you are throwing the 50k away if at some point you do want the 500k one (which you will) 4 minutes isn't enough at some places.

good inventory for dust devils
I'd advise banking sometimes. They are non-aggro so you don't lose that and they do drop herbs/gems which you don't want to alch. Also bringing a super set speeds up kills, maybe bring 2-3 super sets and bank after those? You won't need food with b2p tablets.
-
Dream Mentor
First 3 you can still safe spot I believe. Just run backwards to behind the lecturn/font thingy and it gets stuck. Then range them until the 4th. The 4th will hardly hit you, just will run away a lot. Range works there too.

Prayer vs Construction
Do con then, runescape was made for fun. Depends on what you class as fun. I don't class POH's fun. I'd rather be out skilling.
-
MTK.Can someone explain it to me?
Good way to get tree seeds and herbs for personal use too.
-
Prayer vs Construction
Construction really loses it's usfulness at the 70-75 mark. Dungeons are rarely used as they have little use other than fun. Prayer however gains in usfulness, more points per prayer pot dose, and longer prayer. Plus it adds to your combat level which is what the vast majority of players consider to be the gauge on how good you are. The cape looks awesome too. My vote would be prayer.

camping at dust devils
Chaos tunnels or desert? Chaos Tunnels, they are non-aggro B2p, guthan's, or food? I don't have 68 summoning bones to peaches If b2p, get spell or tablets? The spell is always good to unlock, however tablets will save you space. Up to you. they drop uganthanki kebabs pretty regular too. Buy guthan's at 4.5m or hope for lower price? 4.5mil is good for Guthans, however it isn't advisable to use at Dusties due to the need for mask/helm. You can heal from the other monsters in the chaos tunnels, but tbh it's not worth the risk if you do muck up, plus the portal could send you anywhere... Equipment and inventory? Standard melee gear but with facemask/slayer helm. In your inventory bring some alch runes, some bones to peaches runes/tabs and maybe some super sets. You can stay forever without pots but it's nice to have the boost, plus theres no harm in banking every now and then for your herbs. Doable with my stats? As long as you have the slayer requirement you can do them. I can't view stats from behind this firewall but if you've hit 60 slayer, your combat stats cannot be that bad. EDIT Rune Defender. Spend the time to get it, you won't be sorry. Warrior Ring will be better.

Fast HP Exp...
Just carry on as you were. 300k isn't much considering what you've already acheived.

Pyramid Plunder
Thanks, sounds good for me! I'm 76. Will go naked, cept for a super anti poison and some cheap food.

Rune Crafting
I couldn't agree more. Its extremely quick exp, I recently did this method and was surprised with the speed. The only thing I would add is wear the lumby ring and have the ring of duelling in your inventory, as you get a little extra exp and it makes it a bit quicker. This maxes out at 30k xp per hour. The method I stated earlier, Steam Runes, involves pretty much the same thing. Difference is you bring MAgic Imbue runes, water runes, pure essence, and a binding necklace. I think you can get about 50k per hour doing this. I doubt he has the mage level and quest requirements for Magic Imbue.

Ranarr farming
On the topic of deaths: Make sure your first herb patch is protected by the amulet of nature. Not only does this warn you if it does disease but it also features as an alarm as to when your next round can start. My Arm's patch does not disease ever, as My Arm looks after it for you. So use that. A common tactic for the less rich is to use the first patch and My Arm's patch for ranarrs, and the other 3 for lower valued seeds, like Toadflax. Then switch to all ranarrs once you have a stash of money.

What to blacklist?
Hellhounds are raw melee XP and with high stats you can survive with Bunyip making it very cheap XP. The only downside is they are packed by rangers. We need some more Chaos Tunnels, I'd happily waste a few prayer pots if these were there, the XP is that good. Scarabites are the fastest slayer XP in the game (20k in 20mins). You do however need a cannon and be able to withstand a fair few attacks. Check YouTube for a for a guide on them and try them again, you may like them then, worked for me. Gargolyes are just annoying cos of the hammer. I'll be honest and say i have skipped the odd task. However since pvp the maul has risen to 130k making a skip of these stupid as I get a maul most tasks. They also die quite fast, so it's painless other than the annoying click hammer thing. Jagex should make you auto strike them with the hammer if it is in your inventory, or make it so it is wieldable in the shield slot. I'd sacrifice my defender for this, even if it offered no bonuses. I have terrorbirds blocked too. Going to re-investigate though as they are meant to be good XP with a cannon and it is meant to be easy.
