Slayer is a big pile of rubbish for profit these days. Way back when 85 was awesome as it meant whips which were 3 mil a pop. Now your looking at 1.5mil, with the drop rate seemingly slashed. Reason I started slayer was for cash. However it soon became obvious I was never going to get rich via it. Trouble is, slayer is still the coolest and most respected cape in the game. It also provides a very good way to train combat, and profit in the long run. You'd be a fool to stop slayer as it is a good skill to have high and you will profit in the long term. Plus Jagex will one day release a level 95 slayer monster and you'd be one step ahead of the game then.

Yes it's worth it in the long run.

God swords suck for slayer. Whip/Def or SS are better as they are faster. It's the same kinda principle as scimmys and battle axes. Yes the god sword will hit harder and more accurately but in 3 whip hits, it will have only hit twice. The SGS is the only exception due to its spec but even then Bunyips and prayer pots are going to be better 8/10 times.

That is true but he is at a level where green charms are much more effective, I would personally go to a monster that drops good charms like dusties and collect gold, green and crimsons and then when I have enough greens go use them. Greens are pants. Crimsons are the best way to train period. If you hunt for charms you hunt for crimsons, anything else is a waste of time/money.

Slayer.

SS is the best option. Far better than drag scim/defender.

You need to be outside for it to forage. So if your slaying in a dungeon, they wont get you anything. You're thinking of the herbcall, I bet. Same with foraging too I found. The only thing which worked inside was the better herb thing. Which tbh is pointless when you could have a terrorbird and have 12 extras.

Burn the magics. Superheat the coal into mith bars. Use a BoB if need be.

Gotta be a kitten as macaws don't work in dungeons.

I'd sell now. It will be like the god sword shards. People will buy the finished article and not the shards.

You only get the 2 sets from the quest. After that it is widely believed that they will not drop again until after quest completion. As you are at the final fight you can finish the quest and then go back to get more. They are rare though.

Probably too late but there in an invisible portal there too. I believe you need Summer End to access it and Jennica's Ring. The spirit plain is non wildy so you can teleport without having to dodge the Chaos Elemental again.

Yeah no reason at all to keep an armour set that is black but has stats comparable to rune and looks really awesome ...Yes, exactly. I might as well sell it and buy barrows armour, or maybe even bandos. The elite black armour doesn't even look that great. Lol you beat me to it. The armour is pants effectively, just a black version of rune. Looks are for noobs, it's stats most people care about and there is no real reason to keep this pile of junk unless the next big quest requires it. I sold mine for max (250k) as I couldn't be bothered making loads of junk. I will buy it back once all the hype has died down, just for the possibility of needing it for the next quest. The item will drop in price. People can only do the quest once, and once people realise that Barrows is still better (why wouldn't it be) then they will sell the elite. However there won't be a market for it then, as most people will have done the quest and rune is still better than Elite (and a lot cheaper). So they will sell mid price on GE. If you are savvy and rich you can then horde sets until the next part of the quest (I'm guessing quest #150) and use the time in between to make a load of junk which you can then make a killing from in the new quest. However it's a bit too much hassle for me, and I like helping others not shafting them.

Runecrafting. I had the same dilemma. At the end of the day 400k runecrafting XP is 20 hours work. Plus at your (and mine, it was 72) level it will push you over the 75 milestone for a giant pouch. So if you do rc again, you can do it at max efficiency. Construction is just expensive, pretty fast XP. Plus once you have the level for gilded altar (69 I believe is the lowest) there is no real reason to train it higher, other than making your house look nice. In my opinion I'd take XP over looks. Eventually I will train construction, but only when I'm raking in the millions. For now I am happy to have it as my TOG, Genie/Tome skill.

how are lvl 3 clues long 6 maybe 7 parts to em average half a hour per clue an average 100k sounds good to me lol Using that maths your saying 3-3.5 hours for 100k is good. It isn't. Runecrafting nats at 44 is far better cash. However I am glad to say your maths is wrong. Eventually most clues take a max of about 5 minutes, and these are the ones which require deep wilderness. The rest you know where they are just by looking at the clue/map. That gives 30mins max for the clue, which isn't too bad.

What an over-reaction - cutting the smithing requirement in half. Level 99 - 13,034,431 xp Level 92 - 6,517,253 xp :lol: Not really, as I've said before 99 smithers are not going to want to assist people as they dont want the XP. 92 smithers on the other hand would like the extra XP.

Good in theory but not in practice. For example on a task of 180 Dust Devils my Bunyip runs out at approx 40 left to kill. Is it worth summoning a fresh Bunyip purely for these 40? What if my next task is Spiritual Mages and I have to dismiss it? Bringing b2p runes or tabs allows for food if I need it as I obviously can't Guthans them. And also you can't use a combat familiar if you're using a bunyip. Thats not usually a bad thing :P

Yep. For Zammy Mage pro mage and unleash DDS specs. Using piety it's usually a 2 spec KO. Only need a DDS so no need to take expensive gear to Wildy. For Sara Mage you need melee armour and pro mage, again releasing DDS specs preferably with piety. Usually a 3 hit KO. Remember an anti pot. For double agents pro melee and unleash DDS specs. Other gear doesn't really matter. Sometimes he goes down fast, other times he doesn't. I think this is due to them being randomly weak to certain attacks but I'm too lazy to prove it. For Sara mage I prefer to wear dragon hide and protect melee to avoid being poisioned Main reason I do it the other way is I can then go straight to the mage instead of banking. If i am at full HP sometimes I chance it with no armour. Not died yet \ I don't advise the majority to try that btw, I'm 90 def and 97 and get taken down to about 20hp.

But does it degrade even if you're holding it in your inventory :?: no So you're best option is to PK f2p stylee. Try luring someone by wearing nooby gear then put on your dragon. Then hope you get a decent drop. I doubt you will come close to getting the true cost of it back though.

Really? Where could i be making money elsewhere? Cause to be honest... I'm wc'in to get money lol! :) People have covered the main ones. You also get money fast by doing nooby things other people don't want to do (and f2p'rs can't) Examples being: Spin flax, even more profit if you pick yourself (crafting XP) Mine pure ess (mining XP) Fill vials (no XP) Collect herblore seconds (no XP) If I were you I would fight for decent drops. Slayer is the best way to do this but the income is only steady nothing life changing. Alternatively: Kill Chaos Druids - Pick up all, clean the ones you can but drop all under harralander. Kill Green Dragons - Keep bones and hides. If you can get a Warped Terrorbird then use that for extra loot per trip.

Yes MEP2 is a good one. Use a BoB and pray melee in the temple. Will help a lot.

I think reducing the requirement is a good move. 99 smithers are unlikely to want to break other training to assist, seeing as they will get nothing for it other than useless XP Also good to see the non-dropping of Elite Black Armour was deliberate, people should pay more attention and the developer was quite right to only allow the one set to be obtained easily. Personally I am waiting for it to drop in price before I re-buy mine back, plus the robes as we are bound to need them in the next quest. May even buy a few more sets :twisted:

No problem. WC is really a f2p skill. In the time it takes to cut yews members can make better money elsewhere. Most members only wc for XP, either for an easyish 99, total levels or for quests.
