I've been going for that awesome hand souvinir for the last 3 weeks, and gotten nearly all the audience clothing so far doing: Magic: just levitate the rat 10 times. No emotes, no nothing, just the lvl 10 approx rat levitation over and over. Range: Use the lvl 10 spot again, for both targets, no emotes, just fire them off. Agil: The lvl 10 trick 10 times, on the run, ntohign else. You'll get 3 audience rewards doing that.

Are you sure? I am pretty sure buying yew logs + b strings makes you a profit. I haven't done the calcs in almost 6 months but back then it was a decent way to get money + exp fast. No, i'm not even remotely sure, at all =] Fletch jsut tends to jump between -slight- loss or -slight- profit, i figured with yew logs doing so well it'd be lossy atm. Oh well.

Afaik, there's no way to fletch without loss. You might be able to make a couple gp feathering bolts when the market is right, but that's about it.

It's...past it's day, but yes, it's very helpful for some sotuations, and the special is easily frequent enough to be a MAJOR help. Wether it's worth the cash or not depends on how much cash you have, and how much you want this healing effect. I'd be using guthans if i didn't have 68+ summ.

It's...yes and no. If you don't, ALL aviansie and armadyl followers wil lbe agressive towards you. Trust me, wear it. Once you know EXACTLY what you're doing, are confident in your game, know where everything is, you can experiment, but i strongly strongly strongly recommend wearing it until you know what you're dealing with like the back of your hand.

take from this what you will: at maxed stats, i take Tortoise pouch 1 super set (use 1 or 2 doses per "full inv") hatchet coins 1 spot tele out all the rest monkfish That setup lets me fill both my and my tortoises inventories of hides and bones. I then tele out, and go back. Rinse repeat. Once i'm full, i tele out, and thats usualyl about 50 kills or so, my tortoise is nearly run out of time: tasks are usually 60ish ea, so for the 3rd and final trip i tend to take a terrorbirds and slightly fewer monks. Once you know the route banking isnt all that long, you probably won't need prayer unless you're planning on doing the entire task in one trip, just be careful they can go from easy to really nasty very quickly.

Blast furnace your bars, and you'll lose little off of mith bolts. Do cballs, most smelting is profit or very little loss, or mine your own ores. For craft, collect your own hides, buy untanned and tan them, sell half to cover your losses for the other half you craft, look into if you can glassblow orbs or something and enchant them to recoup losses (not sure of the level req). Of course all of these are pretty slow, and you'd probably do better using the well known methods and just making the money back, but there's some options that spring to mind.

For speed, barb tail > regular harpoon > barehand However it's very very little difference, the extra gained xp from barehand probably make up for the speed loss. Really, you won't notice a difference unless you take a big sample ;)

For the record, you never ever stop burning monks. Just the chances are so rediculously low at higher levels you can probably get 99 without burning 1 if you're lucky. I've burnt 1 monk out of about 8k since 99 cook. So you do still burn but, for all intents and purposes you don't. Ray's advice is spot on with what to cook ;) keep an eye on prices though.

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=770722 might help you, hell if i can remember requirements for each pot

You don't need to, there's a way for everybody to win. Cannon = perfectly okay. Being a git about it = incredibly rude. Not suggesting you're either, just stating. Just be curteous and use your cannon. Don't use it to bully people out of slayaer spots, ask people if they mind if you set up your cannon udner the lighthouse, try to find a less crowded world, just be nice and don't be uncurteous. What's bad: when you're at a kalphite task, killing them normally, then some [wagon] turns up with a cannon, plonks it in the middle of the room, and bullys you out of your spot. Sure, there's nothing "wrong" with it, nobody owns anythign etc etc etc, but that doesn't stop it being rude and douchey. What's okay: Setting up your cannon when you're the only one there, or asking people nicely if they mind. So don't quit, cannons rock. Just bare in mind your manners ;)

What would you like: Fastest? Most profit? Best all round? Also type out your equipment, will help :] Though i'm gonna say my opinion: do it on slayer anyway

Robin and ranger boots, armadyl (or karils / hides etc if you're short), rune crossbow, mith / addy / broad bolts (buy broad ability from the master asap), fury, zam book, barrows gloves, archer ring. That's your basic setup for most range tasks, though if you prefer you can switch to bows etc are your discretion. I use mith arrows ans msb on some easier tasks (lesser demons etc), though i suppose crossbow is probably similar effectiveness. There are some tasks that are difficult, or impossible to safespot, but they're still rangeable. You'll want a crossbow for sure for this one, and id reccomend broad or addy bolts. Tank range these tasks. For this you'll want to switch out either: Zam book for dfs, granite shield, obby shield etc. Boots for dragon. Helm for toreags or neitiznot. Switch those out at your own discretion, lets say you can't be assed safespotting nechs, and want to just tankrange them, you'll probably switch out all 3. For some tasks, you might just switch out one for that defence boost. This is the key to making range slayer fun. This method also owns for abby demons. I can't tell you exactly what to wear where, because it's very level dependant: list mosnters and i'll tell you exactly what i do, but it might be different for you. Kalphites, you can range the big ones or tank the 85's effectively. BD's, i'm sure you know the taverly spot, or you can pray tank range them in the exact same way you melee in CT, i thin kthere's a safespot there also. Type out a list of mosnters and i'll tell you the way i like to handle them if you like. I promise you EVERY task is rangeable, and effectively. Maybe not qutie as fast as melee, but they're all doable.

They're not aggro so you'll be okay. As far as i know the drop rates are the same, i've use the CT mostly.

Also, you're not 75 runecrafting, so you're not gonna be hitting those rates anyway since you can't use the big pouch. I'd guess you'd get around 2.8k, going fast, but that really is just a rough guess.

I don't know what the prices are like these days, but check out buying emerals, cutting, and selling (or sapphires i guess). It's fast xp, it WAS cheap, i'm not sure what it's like now. Take a look.

People play for different reasons, with different goals, aspirations, playing styles, playing lengths, reasons, everything. Some people strive for efficiency, they want efficiency in everything they do, to be as good statistically and bank value as possible. Some play a relaxed game, doing what they feel like as the wind blows, Some play only to pk, skill one skill, talk with friends, any other reason you can think of, some people play for that reason. You play your way. Other people play their way. Your goal might be efficiency, so be it, and mention to people how they can be more efficient, or how your playing style is different, but your playing style is not the be all and end all of everything. Some people want a 99 just to show off to their friends, for the feeling of accomplishment, for something to do whilst chatting to friends, for many, many more reasons than i or you can think of. Some people like to make money, some people don't care, they just want xp. I personally shark fish a lot. I know damn well it's bad cash, bad xp, and i can do a HELL of a lot better in every way with my stats - never mind training a skill i'm already maxed out on. But it doesn't matter, i enjoy it, so i do it. That migth be wrong in your eyes, but frankly i don't give a [bleep], because my accoutn is mine, not yours, i imagine you'd fish monkfish; and that's not better or worse, yes it's better xp, maybe even cash, but it's not better for ME because i don't want to be doing that. It's better for you, not for me. This guy wants level __ as fast as possible. Just because you care about this and that doesn't mean he does. He, evidently, does not have the same goals or training style as you. I also doubt he cares. People do it because they want to, or they don't know better. So advise them of better, or different ways, and if they do not change their mind; evidently their playing style is not the same as yours. If people want to range yaks to 99 range very quickly, that's what the ywant to do, for their reasons. I personally would find that boring as a pile of crap, so like you, i don't do it. But i powertrained cook to 99 back in th day, beause i really wanted 99 cooking (before capes existed, i just wanted to see "99"). Sure i can't do anything after 99, but in the end the whole damn thing is pointless. I'm being as honest and kind as possible, but it's gettin old, just accept the fact other people are not you. Everybody likes to do their own thing. If it doesn't hurt you, advise, and move on, don't hammer your beliefs into everybody. As for the thread starter, granite all the way - best familiar you can use that boosts mining, mine and drop, use the tiara or a bunch of waterskins and humidify lunar spell. And be careful, you don't want RSI, know your limits :P

Yessir

Well, the difference is little, they all suck. Out of them, use bone bolts...but seriously, buy some steel at least. Anywhere worth training will make back steel arrow costs. In reality though, i'd reccomend mith+ bolts when you can retrieve, addy for stuff that makes the drops worth it, no arrow below steel ever, iron+ knives are game. All for regular training. If you're going PC with this stuff, bone bolts will do fine.

'tis, ruby sacrifices 10% of your hp for 20% of theirs iirc. Really useful for monsters with a lot of hp, since it cuts through them very fast. Just be usre if you ever use ruby to switch to somethign else halfway through the mosnter: else you'll be hitting yourself more than them. There arn't a ton of safepots in most places in CT, but they're there if you can find them. Theres one at dust devils, tricky, but see if you can find it ;)

Exactly what i did for a long time. If it's in the budget, get a d skirt and rune plate for the easier tasks where you barely have to heal. Once you can get a bunyip, ditch the guthans.

Don't bother teleing (theres no way to make it faster, but if you have less rooms it laods faster). Buy a butler. Not the demon one, the bald dude, he's barely any slower and half the price. Have cash and noted planks in your inv and use him to unnote them, he'll do all the transporting for you.Whilst he's off and about you can build your larders.

duel arena / pk etc etc with some fancy bolts, dragon or rune boss monsters, kbd, armadyl, miths whatever your stats can handle (ruby bolts etc) Aviansie, bloodveld, fire giants, ogres, etc etc Have a play with tankranging, pick a monster, pick a crossbow, and get up close, find na eqipment set you like, lazy ranging and can let you range places you'd think wouldn't be great (gargoyles, nechryael, most things in CT, anything not too high level really) Tormented wraiths, if you have the quest, with black knives. Metal drags, go CT and stande between the two bronzes with mith+ bolts, or some other kind of drag, black etc I was gonna say yaks but i'm sure you'd castrate me since it's power training, but there' s the whole yak/pc/etc etc thing slayer (every task is rangeable if you know how) For bolts use the slayer ones, unless you need a specific enchantment, ruby can be very handy in lots of places. -copies and pastes entire tip it beistary-

what* -pet peeve- If you're BH'ing, it'll be the highest level you can get in the crater with, before you hit the higher levelled crater. As for general pking anybody, you're pretty much the same no matte rwhat level. A level 30 pure vs a lvl 30 main will be ismilar to a level 90 pure vs a lvl 90 main. (unless, for some reason you're basing your assault on magic, in which case it stops being good...well, from the start, really, in f2p).
