You will have to use the mirrored shield. Your only other option is to buy obsene amounts of restore potions.

Vegetable allotments, herb and flowers cannot be repicked. Once you pick them, the crop is gone. Cactus, bushes, calquat, fruit trees and regular trees will regrow if you do not dig them up. However, the best xp is given out by checking their health once they have initially grown to full size.

Don't forget to wear your explorer ring to get additional air, water, fire or earth runes. You don't get extra experience, but you will get extra runes.

There are many of the gilded furniture items available at the GE, most of which are the highest available for that type of furniture. SOme are quite expensive, while others are incredibly cheap. You should be able to stock up your house with high quality furniture, without the aid of a high level assister, and it will cost you considerably less than if you were to go buy the materials needed to build them.

You could always buy a D Axe, use it for several weeks and then resell it i you don't think its worth it. I bought mine a year ago and regret not buying it earlier. I think the woodcutting speed is better, and it sure makes the jade vine mini game easier. I often carry my d axe around with me, it serves as a decent weapon if I feel like slaying some random monster.

Go play the distractions and diversions games. Hunt down some penguins, go to the circus and search for the fallen stars. Avoid training the skills that bore you immensely. I'd recommend doing any quests or mini quests that you haven't done before. If you want to train a skill, choose farming. You can run all over the world harvesting your crops and trees. Add in the Jade Vine for a short combat break. Go find a wrestling tournament at a POH. There are so many things to do that are not repetitious to do, they just tend to be the activities that provide less experience.

You can also get someone to assist you. You don't have to have 73 smithing, just get someone with 73 smithing to assist you.

You can now get 158 kudos. Ghostly Robes is the quest mostly overlooked. The Varrock Beacon network quest, "Fired Up", was recently introduced, and it provides those 5 extra kudo points. I'd go back and talk to each curator on the three floors and see if they tell you there is still more to do.

I trained almost exclusively from 92-94 with monks and I'd swear that I never burnt one in that period. I could be delusional though. Assuming I'm wrong, you would still burn considerably more sharks than monks.

You could just pop into the abyss through the fairy ring. It took me about 20 minutes to get the medium, large and extra large pouch. Abyssal leeched with 10 hp drop them, so you can very rapidly kill them while hunting for pouches.

The figure of only saving 150K by taking the slow method of cooking monks is very misleading. At level 94 you will no longer burn monks. I'm currently level 94 and was cooking sharks yesterday that some Brine Rats donated to my cooking cause. I was burning 4-5 sharks per load (not wearing cooking gauntlets). Even if you have gauntlets on, you are going to have some burnt sharks, which will substantially increase the price difference. I'd still recommend sharks if you have the money to spare, just expect to take larger losses than what was initially proposed.

I'd be happy to perform a Zammy ceremony for you.

Miles, Giles and Niles, as well as the Genie and the Sandwich Lady will all teleport you to a random location if you ignore them.

I'd recommend heading up to the Taverly region. Start Druidic Ritual and Wolf Whistle. This will unlock the herblore and summoning skills for you. After that I would recommend Tears of Guthix as soon as you have 44 quest points.

I'd recommend getting an amulet of nature. That way you can use it on one of your herb patches, and it will tell you if that patch is diseased. You don't even have to wear the amulet, just have it in your inventory. If your patch gets diseased, you can use it to teleport back to your patch to cure it.

I'd recommend the gilded altars in most cases. If you've been raiding coffins with the diseased Zogres then I would go for the ectofungus due to their massive experience, otherwise the speed of POH altars easily wins out. Open Houses are easy to find on the official forums on the weekends.

I melee 90% or so of my slayer assignments, but bloodvelts (and fire giants) are really good monsters to range. If you insist on melee, then I heavily recommend the black mask.

If experience is your only concern, then fly fishing is your fastest method. Monks are a close second, and provide a considerable cash advantage when you are finished though.

I'd cut those willows south of the Port Sarim jail. There are several good long patches there for firemaking. As for fishing and cooking, I would alternate between the earlier mentioned lobsters and fly fishing at Lumby or the Barbarian village. This should help relieve boredom. Fly fishing is faster than the lobs, so it would probably take longer before immense boredom sets in.

I'd recommend ranging the guards on the second floor of the prison at Port Sarim. There are lots of tables to create safe spots, and rarely used. There are lots of guards, so they respawn quickly, and they aren't aggressive.

i'd recommend the coal deposits in the Edgeville dungeon. Lots of coal and very rarely busy.

The quest is still around, just relocated to south of the Seers village. As long as you're a member, the goulash will be waiting for you if you haven't finished your 10 helpings yet.

It seems to me that you're doing everything correctly. I'd recommend going to the Runescape homepage and go into the QuestHelp, a subdirectory of the Game Guide section. It should tell you what you need to do next.

I have to agree that powermining is still available to all to use. Your other option (if you're a member) is to mine stars. Its like powermining, but without having to drop the ores.

Wow, you just summed up my last month of Runescapeing perfectly. I'm finding I'm preplanning my runescape day in order to try and squeeze everything in. battlestaves get bought, but then stored until the weekend when I have time to catch up on making the orbs for them. I've been slowly working on Desert Treasure for 4 weeks now, and I had to create a new tab in my bank account for the things I have to do. Slayer training is exclusively for the weekends now. I have to agree that I'm feeling bogged down and some chores are soon going to have to be eliminated.
