Put a glory in your house so you never loose them to PKers....

I think he was quoting something someone else said....

I agree. I don't give a flying freak how long you play or if you think how long I play is bad. People telling me to "Get a life" just makes me laugh knowing the speaker can't think.

These two statements contradict each other. Bringing my "specialty equipment" (A rune crossbow and DDS) allows me to get kills significantly faster at the cost of 2 pieces of food. I have tried meleeing ahrim and killing karil without my DDS, it's alot slower. I never use that much food anyways. And I find that the extra 5 seconds or so I spend on precautions like sidestepping are unimportant. Flushing verac is a major waste of time imo because he is one of the easier guys. I only bother with flushing Dharok for obvious reasons, the others are not a problem with a side step. I don't feel like having 2 tunnel buddies each trip and like you said, time is money. Extra ppots don't speed up my trip much (A collective 15 seconds eating would no longer be needed, woot?) but increase my costs dramatically. Please don't take this the wrong way; your combat stats are all 90+. Some things you may find easy are alot harder for my 70s. And everyone: I know I need verac's. It's on my to-do list.

No, I don't hate pures. I just think that armor has no place on someone with low defense. I can't wield rune weaponry at level 1 attack, why should people get black dragonhide at level 1 defense? That just makes no sense at all to me. Granite armor requires 50 defense and strength, but Mystic requires 40 magic and 20 defense? No, it should match like almost all other armors with multiple requirements. And from what I hear, Fight Caves are not the most difficult thing to do considering prayer switching can prevent all damage and its a safe mini game. If I do the Underground Pass quest at level 16 should I be able to use Iban Blast?

fire cape:Requirement to wield is to kill the highest leveled monster in the game and considering its only a little better than an obsidian or skill cape, its fine the way it is. RFD Gloves:The quest to get them is very long. Plus They cant be traded (niether can the fire cape fyi) so there is a very slim chance that a pure will have either. 1 defense pures can get the fire cape. And a 1 defense pure can use mithril gloves, a rune pure can use barrows. Plus most fire cape owners that aren't pures have 70 defense anyways....

Karils, 5 points mage defense better. ZOMG!

I've been doing barrows recently in hopes of funding my 99 mage goal. I was thinking about this and I was wondering if I should sell my chaos rune drops or use them to train with. My average money spent on each run is about 15k-20k (food and pots) depending on who is in the tunnel. Opinions?

flax would double your money, but its a bit slow.

Actually they're the same as mith gloves. between them both.

I've been playing around with my method a bit. Heres my new one. Order I kill In Dharok>Karil>Ahrim>Verac>Torag>Guthan (I pray on the underlined names) First Kill: Dharok Tunnel-I love getting a Dharok tunnel, I can fight him with a safespot and make a run with no prayer potions used. Tomb-I tend to get my mage bonus as high as I can with him (by removing armor if I have space and wearing hides instead) then pray and kill. Most of the time I kill him without needing to drink, but I never let my prayer drop below 18 because it's to risky with Dharok. Second Kill: Karil Tunnel-I hate getting this as my tunnel, but when I do I fight him at the chest so I can expect him and have time to prepare. Tomb- I pot up with my combat potion and switch to my dds. 4 specs sometimes puts him near death, but sometimes it hits 0's eight times. I use leftover prayer from dharok on him and can manage to finish him off no-prayer but most of the time I just drink because it's less hassle. Third Kill: Ahrim -This is by far my most hated tunnel. I'm running around in torags and he pops out of no where and hits me hard before I can even switch to hides. I always fight him at the chest if I can. -In his crypt Ahrim is not so bad. I use a rune crossbow with emerald bolts (poison ftw). I prefer it over msb because its more accurate and I can make the ammunition myself. After I get 70 range I'll start using a Karil's Crossbow so I can put all those bolt-rack drops to use. Anyways, I always kill him with a sidestep just because it's safer and easier imo. My prayer runs out during this fight and I don't restore it. Fourth Kill: Verac - Verac is my second favorite tunnel buddy. Safespots ftw. - In his tomb I always use a sidestep. His set effect can hit faster than I can eat and it has done so before. I am not praying on him so he's a bit more dangerous than with my old method. Torag/Guthan -I Fight these guys in the tunnel the same way as their crypts. -These guys are easy....

Oh, my bad I read that wrong. My shortest trip was about 15 minutes and my worst was 25 minutes. Normally its around 17-18 though. BTW- I've been practicing and if I get A dharok tunnel I can do it no-prayer-potions easily. I can do a normal run with about 1-2 doses and a karil tunnel takes 1-2 doses as well.

Ok, I removed the jewelry since that seems to be taking the most heat. But I still don't see why mage armors require less defense than range/melee or why chaps/vambs don't have the requirements of the body. And I am not discriminating against pures in any way. I simply think they should have a more severe penalty for having low defense. I apologize if saying "screw the pures" cam off the wrong way. What I meant is that this isn't about what pures will say/do/think.

Click the link under his avatar. Its 64.

Ahrim is like, what, 45 seconds of combat? It's 75k to repair a weapon from 0 on my armor stand and 15 hours is 400 Ahrim kills. thats an extra 188 gp per kill, but it adds the benefit of not having to make or buy new ammo. Plus one or two Emerald (e) bolts (I see alot of those) that break will outweigh those costs. Time is money, so bone bolts are not a viable option unless you have an absurd range level imo. (Still waiting for answer on bolt max hit)

Barrow. You could do very well there if you only pray on Dharok and possibly Karil.

Sell Everything you own!!! The sky is falling! Bank your items! sell sell sell, The FREAKING SKY is falling! ^^ I doubt it will be that bad.

I disagree, simply walking across the bridge to the fairy ring has put me in the wilderness before. You must realize that before the ditch it went from safe to incredibly dangerous without even changing scenery. move one tile to far, bam. Dead. That was unfair in a spot assumed to be safe. I am in no way a noob and I use barrows armor not mith, I'm not giving my expensive gear to some jerk because I moved one tile to far north.

only ones you've had before.

They are the main reason I want 70 range. They are like slayer-dart for ahrim.

Score! Torag Legs from the chest! My first Drop EVER!!!! EDIT- Another Drop! Verac's Flail! Thats a total of one million gp! only 24 more lol.

I hate those sort of merchants, buying any item in the game but always for a ridiculously low price. I'm bookmarking this page just so I can come back in a year and remember when shards were worth more than 150k....

Its not the time thats annoying, its the money.
