Jesus Christ, can't you just admit that you're wrong? :rolleyes:

Let me know when you can prove your claims. Your inability to link the dialogue from the quest to Lucien is your own lack of imagination, so I'll forgive you that. It's not lack of imagination. Note I said it is not EXPLICITLY linked. If you want to you can find links there, but you can also find links to almost all the powerful rs characters. It's just speculation. Also I don't think I'm gonna be able to find the QA as it seem it was the Game update FAQ for that week which will be long gone, but hey I know what I read and I've proven time and time again I have an awesome memory and am right about these things. But for the sake of being proveable for this thread I refer back to my first comment, Nomad has no links to any other story all the links you may here of are pure speculation. You can't find proof to back your claims and you haven't finished Nomad's Requiem. Gotcha.

You haven't finished the quest? Why are we even having this discussion? :rolleyes:

I think you need to make a new account and play through that quest again. It's ridiculously obvious that he worked for Lucien. I'm afraid I can't trust your hearsay without a link.

I don't know what you consider to be a crossover, but Nomad definitely worked for Lucien, so . . . And can you show me the Q&A where a J-Mod stated that the Nomad storyline would never interfere with the Mahjarrat storyline? I find that very hard to believe.

THIS. Did a 4:4 with Kota, Digi, and Cod today. Took forever and it was a [cabbage] floor. Cod is nearly maxed but we just happened to get 104 skill doors for his lowest skills (which is like 90 rofl). Kota and I accidentally went into the boss room so I died twice.

Mithril dragons have high magic defense. It takes about 20 fire surges to kill each one. I don't recommend it.

I've had a few effigies from waterfiends. They seem to have an alright drop rate. As far as ranging them, it's REALLY slow compared to melee, but you'll hit often enough for it to be an option. I think you'd be better off doing something else, though. I suppose you could bring a steel titan to CT and try to range there, but I have a feeling it wouldn't turn out well.

Yeah, just speculation that he's a Mahjarrat. Nomad and the Mahjarrat Bilrach seem to have a lot in common, hence why it's not a bad guess.

It sounds like you're planning on doing a variety of things, so you should really get the rapier, but the maul will be useful (and fun) for most of the your purposes (with the exception of slayer). I believe Totalpwnage (I think that's his name) posted a solo Bandos vid where he used a maul and timed his hits against Graar's so that he could flash soul split.

And we are back to the old question, why should an already bad way of making money, be made EVEN WORSE. So what you're saying is that little Timmy should be able to cut yews to afford his Bandos Godsword (godswords pwn) for 100 hours rather than 103, correct? The absence of bots would not revitalized dead moneymaking methods. Timmy should cut ivy for woodcutting experience and make black d'leather or something for his BGS. It's not that I don't want little Timmy to get his BGS, I just don't think that bots are affecting his ability to get one as much as you'd like to think. There's simply NO reason to utilize BAD moneymaking methods, so why should it matter if they're made worse? I know they exist. I'm sure there are people who solo the Chaos Elemental for melee experience, too, but you don't see me sticking up for them. Once again, bots hurt people who are already hurting themselves. This isn't always the case, as I've explained, but in most instances it is. EDIT Exactly. The solution is not to make cutting yews easier, but to introduce new and creative ways to make money and gain experience. I would argue, however, that skillers are able to make enough money to sustain themselves as it is, but I'm certainly not opposed to them making a little bit more at extremely high levels.

I didn't find this guide to be helpful. You have some wrong information and you don't provide any detailed instruction on using a steel titan properly.

For waterfiends, I use my zerker (i) on task and my dragonstone (i) off task.

I'm gonna be the bad guy and disagree with allowing it for everyone. The ability to left click all monsters should be a reward for 138 combat, IMO.

How does level affect one's ability to buy and sell santa hats?

They hurt skillers, and/or people who like to skill for money. Actually, they help skillers by providing cheap raw materials. People who skill for money (EG: cutting yews) are utilizing low profit and low experience methods that are pointless to use anyway, so the absence of bots isn't going to change that. Real moneymaking usually means sacrificing experience. Essentially you're saying that bots hurt people who are already hurting themselves. EDIT: Wrong.

Exactly, why does it need to be even worse? My point with that particular paragraph was that bots don't hurt low level players as much as some people argue. Nice job ignoring the rest of my post, though.

Id say 95+ or if you haven't unlocked piety. It depends on what you're doing. Turmoil doesn't help mage or ranged. ;)

This thread has some of the most idiotic posts on Tip.it by far. Twas a good read. As has been said to death in this thread, MHing should always make more money than skilling (though if you take street prices into account, 91 hunter is probably on par with most MHing). High level players put much more time, effort, energy, and money into their accounts than level 70s with 99 woodcutting. Bots make mainstream moneymaking methods (fishing, woodcutting) obsolete, but these "accepted" low level moneymakers were NEVER good money to begin with. Brand new players can easily make 100-200k an hour just by killing level 2 men! Once they've built up some starting money, it's easily possible to make 500k+ an hour on a day-old account. Just like with MHing, the best moneymaking methods never beget much experience. This is important to mention because it seems that skillers want both decent experience rates and large sums of money. You usually can't have both. Bots make inferior moneymaking methods even more inferior, which isn't very problematic for anyone, IMO. Green dragons are perhaps the only instance of a decent moneymaking method that bots have somewhat ruined for lower level players, but even then it's relatively easy to get rid of or out kill the bots. EDIT: 99 Constitution 99 Attack 99 Strength 99 Defense 95 Prayer 99 Ranged 80+ Magic (preferably 95) 81+ Dungeoneering (rapier and arcane stream) 99 Summoning 92+ Herblore (stewing for overloads) These are the optimal stats to make the most money from MHing through TDs and DKs. Bandos and Armadyl come close. I wont even mention the gear requirements. That's a hell of a lot harder to get than 99 fishing, mining, and woodcutting combined. Need I go on?

Unless you're 92+ prayer, normal prayers are better.

Yeah, just get 95 in both. They're the biggest skill investments you'll ever make, and they'll only get more expensive. Better to knock both out now.

I think it's Trembake who has both the highest tier CW set and a rapier, and he says he runs around raping everyone with them. It would be fun to hit an 800+ on a flag bearer with a maul, though.

Of course. :) Thanks.

11/10. Three great skills. What's next?
