You normally use up one talisman per craft :thumbdown: But with the binding necklace, you don't.

bump :) any suggestions are welcome

Updated the calc again. Sorry to those who tried to view but couldn't! Thank you and enjoy.

Okay, thanks :)

What is the best combination of barrows items for max defense bonuses?

To get farming quickly, yes. I know it requires time still :) If possible, time for getting SC hammers included please.

I was looking online for times and costs of buyable 99's, but I can't seem to find any that include recent updates like SC hammers. How much time and money does it take to get 99...? Smithing Crafting Herblore farming Thanks! -Sand_hill

I know it's not expensive, it's just the time and effort required kind of annoys me :-P although, with the money saved, I can get 99 crafting or w/e.

I might go for full dragon, seeing as it's 4m cheaper and has better slash and stab defense (seeing as that's what most people use). I just used the compare items feature and saw that Torag's is much better in defense...but I really don't like repairing armor. So my setup would then be: torag's body ? legs ? helm Dragon boots Fury

If Jagex lets me have my locked Summoning Tank account back, would Bandos be worth it to purchase? I have about 30m gp. I really don't want to buy Barrows armor. I don't feel like getting degradable armor. My other option is to get a cool 99 and a set of Dragon (chainbody set). What do you all think? Thanks! -Sand

I have an HP pure, and while it is kinda cool to be such a low combat level with high HP, it's kind of boring to bury bones all day in soul wars since there is nothing else to do. I was thinking about getting strength up and becoming a Mauler, but my name is "HP Wins" so that would be kind of dumb... :-/ What do I do? I still have like 20+ days of membership left. Thanks everyone that replies. :) ALSO: Off-topic, but...is it possible to make multi spaced names still? I have tried but idk if they're all taken or if Jagex stopped that from happening. Thanks!

Straight from the guide: (feel free to add a cape and gloves of your choice, or rune full helm; I was just too cheap to buy that stuff) I don't have insane amounts to spend on a Zerker Ring. Even if I did, it's pointless because someone with 1 attack and Strength will only be able to hit ones anyway. As for "Dragon boots > rune boots," if I could wear Dragon for that screenshot, I would have. However, I could not because my Defense level was 45 at the time.

Well, there is (was?) a section on tip.it for LOTRO, so why not Mechscape? If they could have the calculators and such, it would be very useful, especially if we were first helpsite for MS and RS!

Who would fall for something like this? Even a newbie would see the hotmail address. Rule #1: people are stupid. :shame:

Hey mario, Thanks for letting me use the data. I would have PMed you, but I figured a citation was good enough. I'm using 9.0 as the max zeal per hour because 3 games per hour 3 zeal per game = 9. Should I be using your value? As for the 10% multiplier, I left it out because I like to turn my points in 10 at a time (what can I say, I like instant gratification). I plan on making some revisions shortly, as well as adding the other styles (haha imagine a combat 3 with 99 slayer) Thanks for the input! :)

Thanks for the replies! I originally made it for myself, and I just posted it here because I figured someone else could use it.

dfchester, you didn't answer the question at all. I think there are several faster methods of making money. Contrary to what people think, you don't make much money Runecrafting anymore, with the cost of Pure Essence factored it. I did some calculations a few months ago and it ended up being 100k gp per hour or less. However, I still think that this would be a good idea because you'd be getting experience in a reputable skill as a bonus. The other, faster ways of making money are usually NPC trading methods. Not too consistent, and very, very boring. If you can stand making 50k law runes, go for it. Another idea is to make Runecrafting (or another moneymaking skill) your first 99, then use the money from that to fund Construction.

The point of this guide is for people that are making defense pures and HP pures; they can't (reasonably) train any other way. from what I hear, it's great for mage and range training, too. :)

Which worlds are draw worlds?

Welcome to my Soul Wars Leveling Guide! These are the times for raising either attack, defense, strength, or hitpoints in Soul Wars. This is solely Zeal Points; it does not include xp you receive during the game. I did this by making an excel spreadsheet and plugging in numbers. I got the data from here.(thanks, mario_sunny!)

Instructions: First, open the workbook. Use the dropdown menu to select your level.

I have a defense pure already; it's just that I'm tired of waiting for it to be unlocked. This is my 2nd failed unlock attempt and I don't know if Jagex will ever let me have my account back....so I just made this guy. The status symbol thing will probably be a problem...idk if I'd rather be called a def noob my whole life. EVERYONE respects a 25 with hp cape though. EDIT: I'm currently working on the time estimates. The thing I'm worried about is that Jagex will either: a) make a minimum level requirement or B) make it so you have to do damage (like Pest Control) That would ruin everything for this guy.

Since my tank account is locked from so many people trying to hack it, I have had some time to kill. I made a new character with the name "Hp Wins" (I like it a lot heh). I have a few questions though: Would it be a good option to make an HP pure (skiller) through Soul Wars? I would just run around and bury bones. Do you think Jagex will nerf it and make it so I wouldn't be able to train this way? Would it be worth the membership money? Thanks, Sand

I don't think def pures are very viable for f2p. If you can, get members and play the crap outta soul wars before they nerf it. Soooo worth it. OT: No, you get the XP right after you kill Elvarg.

Timewise, I'd say maybe a week depending on time played. It's really not that hard to achieve. I remember when I first started hunting on my old main, I played 3 hours per day to get there, and then again to get to 63. Once I got to 73, I stopped because it was killing my wrists XD Moral is, don't powertrain heavy clicking skills like this.

If you're mining, pure essense will probably get you more cash by at least three times what you'd get mining adamantite. Since you seem like you want to skill for money, why not try Hunter? It is better money than any of the other gathering skills right now. The only downside is the amount of clicking required. However, getting to 99 nets you a cool 30m.
