It works on the exact same principle as rushing; which you mentioned in your first post. Dagannoth Rex is the big one. But I agree that it should be cheaper; maybe spells should have a chance of not using runes, sort of like FOG robes but far more frequent. And burst/barrage rune requirements should be increased to compensate.

Huh? Mining is the best moneymaker of all the gathering skills, including Hunter.

Doesn't matter; adamant bolts>mithril bolts ;)

And if you don't use Piety you should use 10% strength.

Isn't it 'formulae'?

^You missed my point. Damage, accuracy, and speed; one of them cannot be better than the other. It is the combination of the three that is important. If bronze darts had the same accuracy as dragonstone bolts would they be better?

Whip is more costly BUT if the poster had 70 attack and whips were cheaper then rune 2h's and the poster was either going to buy a bronze 2h or a rune 2h I would say get a whip. Unless said poster was going for strength xp. (or was f2p). If this was a thread in H & A I would say its rune 2h's but a whip is cheaper and way better. Your lack of logic baffles me. We were NOT discussing whips at all. OP never mentioned it AT ALL. He asked, "which is better, d claws or a godsword". WHY DID YOU BRING IN THE WHIP IF NOBODY ASKED FOR IT? The topic can be looked at in two ways: a) A straight, simple comparison between the two without any thought given to outside factors, or B) A practical comparison of the usefulness of the two. The former is a pointless discussion, in the latter you will have to bring in the whip. If someone posted a thread in Help and Advice asking whether they should buy a godsword or d claws, would you tell him that a godsword is a better training weapon than claws and thus is more worth it?

That's an idiotic thing to say; are bronze darts better than dragonstone bolts? Speed and power are the two of the three factors determining DPS (accuracy is the third), one is not better than the other except for specific situations like PvP, giant mole and meleeing saradomin godwars.

It's still good money.

And mess up the blood rune market? An earlier poster mentioned increasing blood rune drops; but getting it right is really tricky.

I've got range void. Its strength training im after Don't train melee on experiments. Armoured zombies are a good training spot; wear void with salve amulet.

Superheating mithril is slightly slower mage xp than alching, but it gives smithing xp. Both cost about the same.

They get unaggresive so the continuous prayer isn't a problem.

^No. Void melee is worth it.

Not true, I cannot stand BA despite being rather good at it. I felt it was worth getting for general Slayer, and I'm sure others do too. Whether or not an item is worth obtaining is purely opinion. :) Or statistics. Like having to get 132.5 million combat xp for the torso to pay off. Any maths student knows statistics are [cabbage]. :) There are many other variables to consider besdies XP. ;) Like what? Fighter torso increases xp by 0.6%, meaning you'll have to train over 1000 hours for it to be worth it. You just screwed yourself out of several hours of your time.

Both are factors. But it heals you, which is more important.

^Fighter torso is only somewhat useful if you love BA and play it a lot. From a practical standpoint it is not worth getting.

Always use supercompost. But the xp from tomatoes isn't a lot; I wouldn't bother personally. If you want cheap xp do orange trees.

That is useless as well. Some people may not be able to afford supercompost or the items needed to make it. I remember when I made my own compost using weeds. recycling ftw? \ How can you not afford supercompost :?

The quest takes like 30 minutes.

Flail has 6 prayer.

You should also poison irons and steels with emerald bolts before switching. Miths are immune.

Ruby is only good for mithril and KBD though.

You can't really use it well at GWD or Mithril Dragons. With the Unicorn, all you have to do is click a button. For the bat, you must click, pick up, and cut some things. You will recieve MUCH more damage during that time. You also loose time eating. Chances are you are going to get hit while eating 2-5 things. Its only good while safespotting. Ever heard of spawn times?

A mage can annihilate any meleer or ranger, using only magic.
