Abyssal Demons
SO basiclly, the RoW is pretty much not worth it, although for 17K you can't be hurted to much. I myself use the RoW on every task, got some half keys, gem drops, no more, no less. Adviced is to buy the berserker ring, and maybe even put effort in MA to get the berserker ring (i) so the stats of it are doubled. But first, berserker ring goes above the RoW?

99 Cooking
Well it is tested, but not shown on the tip.it website. Seems like an update people can use, rocktails.

99 Cooking
Well it's just a guideline. If you read good, you see you stop burning monks around 90, and with the gauntlets, your chance for an succesfull cooked monk (fish, not the people) is raised by 2,5%. I don't believe rocktails are studied with the gauntlets yet.

99 Range with Chins
Well I don't know much about the calculations, but I know one thing. Grey chins cost 50% less then reds, and still give 3/4 of the exp a red chin would give. In the long run (and for you it is a long run) you could save money, lots of money. You could end up spending 40 mil on chins and p pots, for 99 range. Sounds good to me ;-)

Is the inflation really that bad?
Well in theory you are right. If the prices are double, but you have the money, people don't having a big problem. I think the problems start when to much people having billions of cash, and keeping it in bank. Don't know much about the history of runescape, but I thought people where sitting on billions, and Jagex decided to release a moneydrain skill, wich has benefits on higher levels, to get cash back flowing. Maybe someone could explain the history of construction and the release.

getting willow branches
Typical. By using (magic) secateurs you should get the branches from your fully grown and healthy tree... Are you sure you don't doing anything wrong?

chopping ivy xp per hour?
Are you sure? Ivy is 70/80K an hour, and maybe a peak to 100K. So sawmill must at least have the same exp rate, wich is, I think, almost impossible...then again, I didn't do any calculations about it.

Is the inflation really that bad?
Some of the higher prices aren't only from inflation I think. When you look at updates, there is an explenation for it. Herbs went through the roof, due to the herblore update. Since the new extreme pots aren't tradeble, you have to make it yourself, using some lower level herbs. People aren't willing to hunt the herbs themselves, and the extreme pots are loved, so basiclly more people train herblore, buying herbs. And on top of that, you need super sets, anti fires, before you can add a herb to make it super anti fire or extreme. And they use what they can from MTK. Then again, people tend to trade the herbs for hard coins. I think herbs never get back to their old value now. Whip is mostly because of the new Barbarian Assault. Coloured whips are the thing to have, although it isn't doing anything more then looking nice. And because people want a coloured whip, they are buying them. Shortness on whips + new update equiels higher price. I agree 3.2 mil is a bit of an overkill, I bought mine for 1.9 mil... Bones are highly sought after because of the curses. People wanting the best they can, and training prayer like a maniac to get the upper hand in combat. Diamonds is one thing I don't know. Why are they rising. Other gems, I didn't looked at it, but maybe there is an explenation too. Feathers are explained due to broad bolts and arrows. It's a moneymaker and broad bolts are mostly used when ranging.

Why Bandos?
Isn't bandos preffered as the best slayer set up? Like: Bandos armour, verac skirt and such?

merching obby mauls
The obby mauls are not likely to skyrocket, maybe waiting a little longer, because you will lose money can't do any harm. But after a week max, you should sell. You have placed a bet, and lost with merchanting. That's life baby :-) Better luck next time.
-
Mr. Mole.
Yes, it is possible. Although the chances are low. You can chop ivy for wc exp, with strung rabbit foot, to get more nest drops when chopping. Or you can use MTK, maples on 10, and loot them once a week.

making money on a level 3
Well quick money doesn't come from investing in shops nowadays. Pure ess mining for now, maybe start fish soon, runecrafting (waterrunes I thought). Collecting herbs is a good way. Man/Woman drop herbs too, gather them and sell. You can train strength on them, while making profit. But to get to the big money, you should really level up some skills as woodcutting, fishing, runecrafting. PS: 500th Post :thumbsup:

Coming back to runescape after years
The wilderness is no PvP nowadays, it's full of revenants who are a pain to kill, and a pain to encounter. Castle Wars still exists, and Bounty Hunter is introduced. There are some PvP servers, where you can get killed just outside a bank I thought. The best armour? Well, so to say, there is a lot of discussion. Bandos chest is still good, but Barrows armour is underrated these days. If you slayer now, you can earn points when you did the quest Smoking Kills. So you can learn to make a slayer helmet, wich has the benefits of the blackmask, but also has nosepeg, earmuffs and facemask in it, allong the spiny helmet. Pretty much the thing you need when you go serieous slayer. I suggest looking through new, brows tip.it website, and browse the Help and Advice forum, so you can learn some things. Further more, walk around RuneScape to see what's changed and what not. Do some new quests etc. Take your time.

More cost efficient training?
For crafting: green hides with SC needles. For smithing: addy bolts are not the best, but is cheap. They sell instant, and by using SC hammers, you double exp.

Some Questions
1. Aviansies is stull unbeaten if you are not power range. Drops addy bars quiet often (I suggest no RoW here, since addy bars are a common drop). 2. Depends on wich drags you want. Green drags in Chaos Tunnels (beware of the baby blacks, they can be annoying). Green drags in wildy (crowded and revs, I don't suggest this one) If you go for the blue dragon, Taverly Dungeon. With Falador tabs in iventory, and just range away. Reds is not my cup of tea, so to say. Blacks in Evil CHicken Lair. 3. Cleaning the best herbs you can, also use MTK for herbs. Serum 207's are fast, allthough no profit, and you can't sell them. Profiting is really hard nowadays. With cleaning herbs, you should check the GE prices on the runescape website. 4. Powermining granite is still the best way to level mining. Smithing is cannonballs for profit, allthough this is slow. But afking.

Monkfish or Rocktail?
Well I tried to catch cavefish, and it took more time to catch 10, then catching 10 monks. However, I'm 85 fishing. I think with higher levels you get cavefish and rocktails faster. In that case, rocktails (you see a huge fishing spot, bigger then normal) all the way. Pretty easy to bank, and on world 84, there is no danger one off those rockthings attack you.

Iron Dragons O.o
Your stats are not high enough (no offence here) to melee them. Even with my stats I don't melee. Using range is your best option, if you lack the knowledge of maging. Range is cheaper too. Just use at least mith bolts, addy preferred. I myself used broad bolts, and it felt like addy bolts hitted harder and more often. Fremmy archer helmet Best dhide you can wear Amulet of glory/fury snakeskin boots/robin hood boots thingies rune crossbow mith bolts/addy bolts/broad bolts Accumulator RoW anti fire shield (a must, don't forget). In iventory you should get 2 range pots, just in case, enough anti fires (anti fire + anti fire shield = NO damage). Maybe some food if a dragon melees you 1 or 2 times (they can hit pretty hard). Just bring 2 or 3. Don't expect a quick task here, these guys can take quiet a while to kill. But you get enough charms, some coins, runes too. So the drops are OK.

Legacy of Seergaze worth it?
Confirmed, if you have to do all the quest that are before LoS, take it easy. After all quests you are burned out totally if you do it in 1 day.
-
Legacy of Seergaze worth it?
I asked myself the same question. The tower is always crowded indeed, and the exp from bloodvelds is great if you can cannon them. I did the quest myself, for the same reason. Allthough it took me 2 hours to finish this quest, mainly because I forgot some things. Remember that you need to walk through the maze again, for the other Myreque guys. It will take much time.

54 to 70 Prayer for less than 1mil?
For 1 mil it isn't possible. To buy it that would be. Penguin points and exp lamps are free exp, but it won't add up quick, even if you go look for penguins everyday you can. So doing all quests you can that give prayer exp is one, and second, hunt green drags, or go for the zogre coffin way. Otherwise you should make more money with other skills, ór with your stack.

Firemaking Useless
Did you missed the need of FM to light a bullseye lantern? To light any lantern at all, so you can enter dark caves? So on that point, it does something for the game, but it's to small to put more in the game then let's say, construction. I agree Jagex can make more out of the FM skill when they add flaming arrows. Don't know about weapons, because I can't see how it will benefit on top of all the weapons we already have.

Construction
Oak larders, by using your servant to unnote the noted planks, and grab a pile of cash, because he wants money after a certain amount of runs to the bank. When you can make oak dungeon doors, make the doors. Be sure using the Sacred Clay hammer. You need a couple of them, but the mini-game is not hard, and you can end op with 21 points easy each time. That's one hammer a game. It will speed up, ánd gives double exp, so you save cash :mrgreen: Thank you SC <3:

Firemaking Useless
The uses of FM in F2P, as far as I know, is just creating fires to cook wherever you need to cook. In P2P it's somehow more important, for pyre ships, lighting lanterns and such so you can go to dark areas, the FM boosts you get from Beacon Network, the handcannon and offcourse, the inferno adze. And lets not forget burning lighters in Haunted Wood for prayer exp, although it's not much of a prayer training skill. The benefits of FM come when you can fire a handcannon, although a higher firemaking has the benefit, that it's less likely the cannon would explode. At 92, you get the inferno adze, wich is good for training on maples/yews to earn WC exp ánd FM exp if a log flips away and burns. So in P2P it's not completely useless. But with the release of Ivy, the adze has lost some of the benefits, because it doesn't burn a log 1/3 off the time. The benefits are little, but it can make your life somewhat easier when using the handcannon, and lighting the Beacon Network for the adze, to speed up training from 92, to 99.
