Perhaps you should begin the documenting process, 1230abcz. :wink: I'm really interested, too.

If only we could "unenchant" jewelery. All those useless rings of stone floating around . . . :rolleyes:

I had been buying bones as I went along until I had enough for 92 prayer. Like everyone else, I can't see them dropping any time soon.

-.- +1 Is that a piano concerto signature? Yes.

I'm somewhat split about the issue. On the one hand, the fury and onyx(i) are the best amulet and ring in the game, respectively. They deserve a hefty pricetag. On the other hand, the sheer difficulty of obtaining an onyx gem is a little too much. Like you mentioned, I don't know if 20+ hours at TzHaar is really worth it. I'm planning on doing that myself once I hit 300 MA rank, but I'd really rather not, and I'm aware that it's a big undertaking. I could be spending my time doing a lot of other things, especially because a dragonstone(i) only slightly inferior. But, I'd imagine that the onyx(i), even at current prices, is worth it to people who go to FFA corp a lot. It's a huge time or monetary investment that may pay itself back a hundred fold. I think a good balance would be to allow the Karamja gloves to once again decrease the price. I'd feel much better about spending 10-15 hours at TzHaar than 20+.

Thanks for the info. :-) I've stopped harvesting my papaya trees and poison ivies for the time being (very, very bored of it), so I don't need an ent. It sounds like it has a lot of potential for some $$$, so I'll try it out. Thanks again.

1. What jewelery do they forage, specifically? 2. How many "inventory" spaces do they have? (How much jewelery can they hold?) 3. How often do they pick items up? 4. Would it be worth it for me take one with me while doing my dailies (farm runs, MTK, etc)? Thanks.

The only problem is that a lot of slayer monsters have really high magic defense. :thumbdown:

I was using Claws of Guthix until I got my SoL. I'm using wind surge right now. It's pretty expensive, but it's not so slow that it kills me. I'd much rather be mage slaying than sitting in a bank using plank make or string amulets. :thumbup:

First I got these in less than 50 total Tormented Demon kills: Then I got this five minutes later, cancelling my streak of Karil's coifs: After a lot of farming and solo mole hunting, I sold my claws and bought this, and . . . . . . a Staff of Light and Ranger Boots. I'm ready to mage/ranged slay. :thumbup: My goal is 97 ranged and 97 mage, which should get me to 99 summoning and slayer . . . hopefully. I'm about 450k experience from 99 constitution. I'll be saving up for 95 prayer on my way to 99 slayer.

Did I see you in world 99 earlier with your new shield? Is your name 'If Only,' I think? Anyway, the only thing I have to say about your drop is OH MY GOD. :shock:

how would they crash me and i assume that would just increase speed? If someone crashes you and you can't use charge, you're done. It would increase kill speed and your chances of fighting off a crasher.

I use a crystal bow at TDs with my SW cape.

I don't have it (though I'm about halfway there <_< ), but I don't need the extra accuracy OR defense on most slayer monsters.

I really have to agree with Bladewing. For the majority of slayer monsters, a berserker is going to be more beneficial than a warrior. I would switch to a dragonstone or onyx(i) for dragons, but that's about it.

I disagree. Combat familiars should be used whenever possible, so trading a combat familiar for a healing familiar + d claws would be very detrimental to his training. Given his levels, I'd say he made the right choice. EDIT: Looking at his levels again, he can't even use any good combat or healing familiars, so he DEFINITELY made the right choice.

Tassets and DFS are definitely superfluous unless you have 94+ herblore and 95 prayer, IMO. Get the extremes now and make the money back later.

LOL. :XD: I lol'd, that was pretty funny. :thumbup:

Alright, let's take what you said and change it a little: "For fun and teamwork its a fun D&D however it is lacking in rewards and is difficult to track down in order to play. Plus it makes no profit opposed to normal fishing which makes it undesirable in training terms if u want max profit (opposed to say swars and sc whihc save u dosh inb the long run)" I don't see how his point changed at all, according to you. Whether or not it's a D&D, it's STILL lacking in rewards and is difficult to track down. Whether or not it's a D&D, there's very little profit involved. It doesn't matter what he called it, and I didn't get the impression that this blog was an attempt at an argument. I'm sure he would have submitted it to the Times if it were.

The nitpickers totally missed the point of your blog. :thumbdown:

I tested both as well. The goal here is to get big hits, but I observed that each of the hits made by the claws has the potential to make the mole dig (which is what you want to avoid). This also seemed to waste the additional damage done by the claw spec. You seem to be suggesting that even if the mole digs after the first of the four splats, it takes all of the damage. If that's the case, then claws could very well be useful there. This should be testable. It takes the full bunt of the hit, undoubtedly.

It's 15% of your base level. I don't understand your question regarding the ranged amulet, as it doesn't provide any damage boosts.

I've been solo'ing the mole a lot this past week. Having owned a pair of claws and having gotten two 24 hour SGS lends during that time, and trying them both, I can say definitively that claws are better than SGS at mole. The only close contender would be an AGS. There's just no need for healing OR excessive prayer use. I bring a pure set and two prayer potions, using piety every time I catch him. I kill it till my inventory and terrorbird are full, house tele, pray at altar, portal to falador, repeat. Banking is extremely quick, so SGS does not help there. On a side note, it's really funny to claw spec the mole. It digs and comes up dead every time. On topic: I've always wanted a Saradomin Godsword. Always. Always always always. I enjoy the flexibility that it provides, and even though claws are better for slayer (if you have soul split), I would still buy the SGS before claws. I just sold my claws to buy dragon bones just two days ago.
