If it's a room you want then you can't use buffs to get it. Tea gives +1, +2, or +3 depending on the level of your shelves in your kitchen. +1 starts at 6, +2 starts at 45 Evil stew can be made after you start recipe for disaster, and you do evil dave's sidequest. You'll find it VERY hard to get a +6 from evil stew, so don't count on it. Either of those will stack with the crystal saw.

Yeah I've never tried the cannon there, but that's probably about right. When you don't have the stats it's the only way though. The best solution is probably don't do barrows.

I just ran the base exp for 21 in the construction calculator, and it tells you the number of materials you'll need to reach 47. Your results should be somewhere around here if you're still level 21. Your choices are 2,418 Plank & Nail - inefficient 4,674 Cloth - expensive 7,011 Clay - 2.1 mil in clay (REALLY expensive, I got to mid 60s on this much) 7,011 Iron Bar - still expensive 3,506 Limestone Brick - I never used them, so I don't know, but I've heard the garden isn't good to lvel 3,506 Steel Bar - expensive 1,169 Oak Plank - this was the method I used 779 Teak Plank - you can't use yet 501 Mahogany Plank - you can't use yet If you cut 1169 oak planks yourself, and take them to the sawmill that will cost you roughly 292k gold to reach your level. Regular old planks and nails might be cheaper, but you'll be spending a lot more time cutting, running planks, and dealing with busted nails (and probably won't save that much overall).

Oh and for quests I would definitely suggest The Eyes Of Glouphrie since you get the crystal saw for your reward. This item gives a passive +3 that can stack with regular buffs like construction tea and evil stew to give up to +9 construction. +9 construction is really hard to get though, but +8 is doable. I used that way to get a guilded altar at 67. As for exp - taken from the zybez guides.

You might want to use those with the ectofuntus since it gives like 450% the exp (about 280ish for d bones instead of 60!) Either that or find someone with a guilded altar that's willing to let you sacrifice bones there (guilded altars + burners = about 250 exp for each d bone)

Guess that's good then. More money for me :D I used to make all my pots 4 dose because I was too cheap to buy more vials (haha)

I'm not too sure on the specifics since I've always used magic dart. It is in the guide here. http://tip.it/runescape/index.php?page= ... _guide.htm look under cannoning. Be sure to use prayer for ahrim & karil though since they use ranged/mage, and with 35 defense they will hurt you REALLY bad. :/ I get hit for close to 20 from ahrim's magic with level 70 dhide armor & 70 def & 70 magic.

Whenever I see price guides they never specify the doses. Are they all understood to be 3 doses, or are some understood to be 4 doses?

Yeah... basically everything Vulx said. You could try the cannon though, but it would be expensive.

Since he said cheapest way that would tell me he plans on buying materials. Not to mention you could mine all that soft clay, sell it, and make more exp off the planks it would buy. hmm 3k (10 soft clay) worth of materials for 100exp or ~450 (4 planks and some nails) for 2 chairs worth 58 exp ea. It gets a lot easier once you can use oak things though since you don't have to deal with nails after that.

considering what people pay for soft clay these days I would say ponds are actually a pretty bad way to level. Stick with your highest level chairs until level 33, and then build oak larders.

It's probably a good idea to take the holy wrench with me if I'm banking after each run right? :) edit: One more question. Is Verac's special always in effect or should I pray when I fight him? He didn't do any serious damage to me last time I fought him w/o.

You might have trouble doing barrows with those stats. It's hard for me to hit them melee, but I have no problem maging them with magic dart (requires 50ish slayer), even if I'm wearing rune armor. They're REALLY weak to mage, so it's probably the best way to kill them (except ahrim). I guess you could always cannon them though, but that might get expensive.

Thanks for the replies :)

My Stats are in my sig below. I've done barrows once or twice before without any big problems, but that was quite awhile ago. My attack plan is to use magic dart because I'd like to train my magic up, so How many death and mind runes should I stock up on before I go? My house has an altar and a port to canafis, and I can make my own house tabs; so would it make sense to port there after each run to charge up on prayer? That's about all my questions for barrows. Thx :)

When it first came out it didn't, then jagex changed it around so the dragon axe does cut trees faster. The speed increase probably isn't justified by the price (and it's probably not that much better either). I wouldn't suggest wasting money on it unless you're a serious wood cutter.

I would guess you gain 30% of your max hp. (23 hp in my case since I have 77 hp)

That rare huh :( Ah well the exp is nice at least. I was waiting for the scepter to do runs for selling all my items. I've just been banking them in the contact bank to save time. I guess I can do them manually if I really need the cash (I got 150k in plunder items so far lol). Thanks :)

Basically I want to know my chances at the scepter. I just looked at the zybez price guide, and see it's REALLY expensive. I was thinking like 80k max, but it's 10x that, so is is REALLY rare to boot? Is it worth it doing my way for the exp, or for going just chests & Sarcophagi?

Could anyone give me rough drop estimates on the Sceptre? I'm level 61 thieving, so I can do rooms 1 through 5. My current run through is something like this Room 1: gold chest, next room Room 2: gold chest, next room Room 3: Sarcophagus, gold chest, next room Room 4: Some urns, Sarcophagus, gold chest, next room Room 5: As many urns as possible, then Sarcophagus & chest. I'm trying to get decent thieving exp while searching for the sceptre. What exactly are my chances through the 5 rooms though? If it's really low then I'd probably be better off just looking while training like I'm doing now.

Yeah willows are faster exp.

Yeah I was just wondering if tea can raise the chances of the evil stew hitting max, but I'm pretty sure now that it doesn't and may actually harm it. I'm using 3 spices, so far I got to 71 lol. My cat is an adult though, so I can get orange spices pretty easy. Plus I have 100ish unmade stews so I just need to get meat. I'll get it eventually. \

Because evil stew raises to a maximum, and the tea affect may or may not help it reach that maximum. It probably doesn't, but I figured I would check. And yes I know about the +3 tea. I don't feel like wasting 130k on something that I won't need.

Yeah out of the last 8 or so I've used it hasn't gone over 68 which is the stat tea takes me too, so I don't think I'm gonna use tea anymore :/

I know the tea and stew does not stack higher than either can handle, but I'm wondering if I would have a better chance at +6 stew if I'm using tea (I have +2 tea). I didn't have very good luck last time I tried, so I figured I'd ask now.
