They are inferior. And if you lose them you're screwed.

Only way is slayer helm.

Haven't you guys ever heard of picking up bolts? They don't move around at all when you fight them so it's not much of a hassle. To OP: Bring several range pots and prayer potions for 10% range prayer (maybe 5% since you're using B2P).

1. Steel dragons, iron dragons, hellhounds, greater demons unless you're 127 combat 2. Yes 3. Maybe 200-300 4. Abyssal demons and spiritual mages are incredible moneymakers though dark beasts suck. I doubt it's worth the time from a purely money-based perspective though. 5. Black mask/slayer helm, whip, Verac's skirt. 6. Melee everything. Use a cannon wherever you can. 7. Yeah. 8. Dunno. Get Barrows plate, get a whip, get a berserker ring, get Verac's plateskirt.

Way slower than alching though. Fire wave is the way to go.

Nope. Void melee is the most powerful melee offensive armor in the game. This is because it's actually a 15% bonus instead of the 10% the KB claims.

Because he is using protect from melee, hence the prayer gear. If ou add piety ontop of that, you will have to go up and down the ladder more, cutting down on your EXP unnecesarily. Piety+melee protect>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>melee protect alone.

If you use a cannon on all the tasks I reccomend it on, you more than likely will not make a profit, but Range slaying isn't bad without it, and you can still do it without a cannon. As for pray pots, I only reccomend them on tasks you would need them on even if you're meleeing, so thats negligible as it's the same for either way. What about prayer potions for 10% range?

Green dragons.

It'd take 14 hours to kill 4k aviansies using compfreak's method that he claims gets him 825k gp per hour. However, it'd take a lot longer than that to actually get 4k kc since you can't bank. It'd probably take 20-25 hours. That's why I said no Barrows.

Get snakeskin boots. You could probably solo at least one.

I'm a friend of Mark's, on both of his accounts. He's a great guy, funny too. ;) !!!!!!!!!! I hate your avatar. But he does have a sense of humor. It would've been better if he'd did the imitation in leetspeak.

I've actually punched people for tickling me.

No sarcasm. Compfreak understands this game like no other.

^I'm talking about maxed strength bonus compared to void melee with Tip.it's (incorrect, void is actually stronger than strength equipment, this is because void is actually 15% not 10%) max hit calculator. And I agree that the slight increase may very well be coincidence, but fury gives a large defence bonus and 2 more prayer than salve.

However, training on controlled doesn't let you use the stats as early as training them individually, therefore it will STILL be faster training them separately. Have you tested this? No numbers, no proof. The whip is superior to sara sword so it would seem that controlled is best. Of course, my view is not proven fact either. Uh bud? Saradomin Sword=2 handed whip. Whip+Defender is only somewhat faster than SS. SS can train Strength at 3x the rate of Whip. And since you hit higher with every level's xp instead of 3 level's xp (controlled gives 1/3 xp of normal training) you get the benefit of higher levels FASTER than controlled. Compfreak incoming. Yes, he's the only one who would know the truth.

Why would you need a guide? Just bring a hell of a lot of B2P tabs/casts and don't use Barrows armor.

^I doubt mith is four times slower than coal, though it's been a long time since I've mined mithril.

Why? It's simpler and faster to melee them head on with a whip and zamorak spear.

15%. Wrong. If you get undead tasks. Using Helm of Neitiznot with Salve (e) is better. ALWAYS. The bonuses highest is taken instead of the lower one. Slayer helm + Fury is better. Actually...according to Tip.it calculator, somehow they happen to have equal damage. -.- It doesn't say about attack though, so extra 5% on undead is probably better than +10 slash/crush/stab. 20 strength bonus is better than 10% strength bonus so 10 attack bonus is probably better than 5% attack bonus. Also in his drop log Qeltar got like 3 more kills per hour with a slayer helm+fury than slayer helm+salve e at abberant spectres.

Rune is extremely slow apparently; I've heard as high as 30 minutes.

^In practice, doing that requires using the sara sword when you could've used a whip the whole time. Though if you're using Dharok's, which is superior to whip against many training monsters, it won't be problem.

I wanna stay with duradel because his tasks are good, but I dont mind swapping for 5-10 tasks aslong as it resets the loop. Anyone else? I've always assumed that it only takes 1-2 tasks to break the loop.

Nope, I just play this game at work, so I've had a lot of time lately (computer work's slacking off :? ). I'm smart and mathematically-inclined, so it follows I would know a lot about it. I guess you have a point there, what do you do (what is your job?) And btw, you're not really proving me wrong because technically, I'm not looking for a specific answer. And I still have one question. Though the 1.5M is probably LESS than it's worth for the peope who get to 85 slay and get that lucky drop, is it really worth it for the buyers? It's 1.5M for the best general-purpose weapon in the game. Most mid-level players can make that in four hours. And you can sell it back for pretty much the same price as you got it; whips are only 100k cheaper now than they were when GWD came out in 2007.
