thank you for the advice :mrgreen: , i believe that is all i need to know

ok thanks, i think ill try that cos at te moment i always heal at the monastry after each trip and then get tuna from the bank. i hadnt really thought os staying there with lots of feathers and a rod. im aiming to get 1 lvl each day, so that would take 6 days. is this realistic if i spend 3 or 4 hours a day for the next week on it?

does anyone know the fastest way for me to get from 74 to 80 strength? i am f2p and have 1 defence, so somewhere where food is easily accessible (eg from monster drops) would be useful. i am at the flesh crawlers right now. thanks

ok, nothing will be found, you people go on thinking its cheap and easy to aim at a tiny point somewhere that it would take 2,000,000,000 years to walk to, and then have to come back because you aren't recognised or because there is nothing there, which there isn't

how is sending radio waves into a point in space 20 lightyears away smaller scale than broadcasting a radio station around the earth?

oh i must be stupid then... just out of interest, its results day next thurs.. who else needs AAA to get into oxford? and yeah... it can be pretty costly. think about BBC world service... how much that must cost. multiply that by about 100million and theres the answer

i know what he meant. im not really that stupid.. how much is this thing meant to cost though? i dont think its the sort of thing that could be paid for out of someone's back pocket, and i hate to say it, but it seems like it will be a waste

wow, awesome guide. i have a lvl 57 range/2her (will be level 58 after 4.5k more range experience :D ) but i have never really got pking sorted. the timing section was very useful in this guide. my stats are: COMBAT: 57 range: 79 magic: 75 strength: 73 attack: 40 defence: 1 prayer: 1 hitpoints: 75 i have found training magic alongside range very useful, as i like having high hitpoints (which i think is uncommon among most pkers) i think teaming in pvp worlds is very good, and i got with my twin quite often, and we will join clans together. this is useful as you know you have someone you can trust, and death dots work a treat against the solo pker. with all the stuff about pking respect, i think that is all fine, but in big clans, obviously, you are going to be carrying out ruthless attacks on the unexpecting passer-by, so it is easy to forget all of these unofficial rules. a term we sometimes use whilst pking (for your pk dictionary) is "pile on [enter name here]" which is normally used when you are in a death dot. when someone says this, everyone attacks a certain passer by, and big cans can kill people in a few seconds like this. PS. i am considering doing dragon slayer and getting 40 defence, and then getting 44 prayer to increase range by 15%, what are you thoughts on this? this would raise me 15 combat levels. thanks and nice guide

if we used this logic we'd still be living in caves. so if we never attempted to communicate with different life forms millions of miles away, we'd be living in caves? i've never tried that, and i don't live in a cave, am i the only one?

ok, this is the first i've heard about sending messages to another planet, but i can tell off the top of my head that it will be a waste of time the possibilty of life existing elsewhere in the universe is high, but you cannot know how developped they are, and it is unlikely that they are in the same stage of evolution as us, i mean, how could we know if some other planet was inhabited by something similar to humans and discovered there may be life on our planet? maybe they sent us (the earth) some messages and signals, but in prehistoric times, meaning the signals were unnoticed. quite simply, the chances of finding life on another planet that recognises that another form of life has discovered them is so small that it will never happen, even if we become 100% sure that there is life at a given point at a given time. and "life" is such a broad term. i bet that if life exists in other places in the universe, then at least 99% of it will be microscopic organisms like the sort of bacteria we have on the earth. there is no way that in this lifetime, we will interact mutually with other life on other planets. does anyone know the cost of this project?

that idea seems ok. do you have any idea of exp per hour? i dont really like being wasteful, but i guess i could easily make cash to spend on that.

ok cheers guys. looks like ill stay at lessers for now then. ill keep upgrading arrows and the amount i bring though to make it more interesting... well, less boring really.

Basically, I was wondering what the fastest method of training range from 76-80 or 76-85 (if getting to 80 is successful) is in non-members. As i have 1 defence, I would require safe spots. So far since I started training range again yesterday, I have been powering through the lesser demons on karamja, as I can safe here, and stay for a long time, even if i only start with 2500 arrows, and because the loot seems pretty good. (On the trip I am on at the moment, I have already got a loot value of almost 150k). i am pretty bored of this now tbh, and was wondering if there is anywhere faster to train, so yeah... any ideas would be appreciated. also, does the type of arrow used make any noticable difference in the time taken to gain exp? obviously i hit more with better arrows, but atm i am hitting lots of 9's with bronze quite easily, which is cheap. on my next trip to the island however, i will spend all the loot money on iron arrows and then on steel after that, so i get slightly quicker exp, but i am not sure if mithril arrows are worth training with. cheers, and ideas will be appreciated

In the UK, most university applicants do not know where they will be heading to university until A-Level results day, which is August 20th I believe, so I am not too sure where I will be heading to in September/October. The 5 Universities I applied to and the courses and offers were: University of Oxford - Physics BA (3 years) AAA University of Durham - Physics BSc (3 years) AAA Warwick University - Physics and Business Studies BSc(3 years) AAB, with A's in maths and physics University of Bristol - Physics MSc (4 years) AAB, with A's in maths and physics University of Nottingham - Physics BSc (3 years) AAB I chose Oxford as my firm choice, so if I meet the requirements, then that is where I will go. (I am extremely nervous about results day, as I would dread to get the offer from there, but then fail to make it :wall: !) Warwick is my insurance choice, but I am still restricted to what I can get. Good luck to everyone who also hopes to go somewhere, but will not find out until the big day

ok thanks :thumbup: im going for 85 range and mage now before any defence or prayer, and then possibly as high a strength level as possible, whilst keeping a range based combat level. then i will bring in defence and prayer if you get what i mean. thanks for all the help guys

ok thanks. i think ill get strength to 80 and then train mage and range before prayer and defence. but now i have another question :? should i have a melee or range based combat level? cheers

Ok, ive not tried out the new bounty hunter, but i have a pure, which was designed for the low level crater on f2p (level 3-55), and i have heard this new bounty hunter has good rewards, so i would like to make my account a better pker, so help and advice would be much appreciated... stats at the moment: Combat: 55 Attack: 40 Defence: 1 Strength: 73 HitPoints: 73 Magic: 75 Range: 75 Prayer: 1 At the moment my tactics seem to be range/2h ko... maybe take a few bind spells as well and str pots. I was thinking of perhaps getting 40 defence so that I could last longer in combat, and to add to my total level (956 =D> ) Also, prayer could come in useful for protection against different types of attack and for superstrength. If i train these skills up, should i get perhaps a higher attack? and what about my strength, range and magic? should i get them higher? the likelihood is that my magic will be trained a lot anyway from all of the fist of guthix i play, so i can get range to match that, but what are your views? my aim is to make an effective pker, to get rewards and to have fun doing this and training it more. cheers

It would cause an economic crash. For members there is an armor set thats pretty cheap not including the helmet. The helmet is about 80% of the cost of the WHOLE set. This is because when you die you lose the helmet. If you kept the helmet when you die its price would fall (alot) and the price of what ever you do lose would jump up alot. RESULTING IN AN ECONOMIC CRASH hmmm then by that logic. the price of the plate legs will go up? because they become the item lost, not the helm. the helm will crash and the legs will skyrocket. all balances out doesnt it? so what is the problem here? it is a 4 item set, you only get to keep 3 if u die. so who cares which piece it is???? it should be the cheapest one. plz refer to my previous posts about determining "3 most valuable items" and how the 3 items should be chosen. my thoughts exactly

ok i get that now. ill punish myself by only training at the lvl 25 flesh crawlers til i have made 900k from drops and events... but ill probs give up after a few trips

tell me why its a bad idea then... i think theres nothing wrong with keeping the 3 most valuable items, like what is meant to happen

glad someone agrees with me :) i never even considered alching the sara i had just boguht anyway. i paid for it at the ge, so expected to keep the parts which cost the most

i know its obviously my fault for dying, cos at lvl 98 i thought i wouldnt so i was multitasking. it jus thappened that one of them took ages to kill and it finished me off before i finished him off... the main point was that i was surprised i lost the helm worth almost 3 times as much as the legs

i just got full sara and died on my first trip to the lesser demons since getting it, and i was unskilled, so i thought i would keep the 3 most valuable items i had, which were the sara helm, platebody and kiteshield. annoyingly, i kept the legs, kiteshield and platebody, so i had to buy a new sara helm for just over 900k. why did i lose this rather than the legs which were only worth 350k?

k, thanks. i died twice recently and lost about 60k of stuff each time which was annoying, but ill take locate spells next time. i used str ammy anyway, and can hit about 20 with 2h and pot that way.

with those stats i would be level 70 combat, so inelligible for low level crater
