10^100? This is a woodcutting guide, not a search engine! :D Thanks for the good review, it made me feel glowy inside. Another good review, thanks! : Planking the logs would be considered a separate moneymaker--you'd basically have used your profits from woodcutting to pay for a different activity that could just as easily have been tanning d'hides, buying pess to craft, and so on. Since you can't combine the two very effectively (unless you were to chop oaks at the sawmill, but oaks are not great for training) they're separate activities and should be treated as such. Although, I mentioned runecrafting...nothing is stopping you from bringing 100 trading sticks to chop a load of teaks after crafting your nats. It is pretty close to the nature altar.

Good crimson droppers will give gold charms as well. You should still hunt for crimsons.

Yes. Don't do Desert Treasure.

Try dust devils.

I definately think you need to do your reserch better. I turn up far more gold while fishing than what you say. You mention that it doesn't even turn a profit, well your wrong. A small fishing net for monks costs a whole 5gp and a monk gets 392gp, so unless your not paying attention you will never have to spend another 5gp again :shock: Also, if your doing the shilo fly fishing you sitll make profit. A salmon is like 40gp(somewhere near this) and a feather is like 5-7gp :lol: You're right that I'm wrong about teaks being the same profit as lobsters, but in my defense, they've dropped a whole lot since I said that...I remember selling mine for 170 each after I did that test. But you're wrong about the rest. I only said that the fastest fishing experience doesn't turn a profit, which is true--you should break even.

Only make them into platebodies if you don't mind losing a lot of money. You'd get a lot more profit if you sold the bars without smithing them. Actually, you'd get even more profit if you skipped the coal and just made iron bars with rings of forging, and sold those.

The real name is Toktz-Xil-Ak. You can get it on the Grand Exchange.

You could use an obsidian sword and a berserker necklace instead, and it would be just as fast or faster than a d scimmy.

Piscatoris is better than Yanille if you've done Swan Song to bank, or if you're powermining. If you used a Spirit Kyatt to teleport to the mining spot it'd be even faster.

You need to have reached a certain point in In Aid of the Myreque to make the potion, but since it can only be used in conjunction with the Rod of Ivandis obtained during said quest, it's not as if there's much reason to use it before the quest anyway. If you did need it for some reason, they're tradable and you can buy and sell them on the Grand Exchange. Or if you just want to train herblore with them, I recommend not adding silver dust and just leaving the potion unfinished. Garlic is a lot cheaper and easier to get. Despite turning a very small profit, it's not actually good experience and it requires terribly massive amounts of clicking (there's no make-x option for Guthix Balance), so probably not the best way to train, but hey.

You should go with Guthan's, since it's cheaper, and you'll save some cash if you decide to get the full set later. (You're not likely to buy full Torag's I bet.)

Neitiznot.

Epicfail? No, Inuashakent just let slip that he is secretly Snake. Guess the jig's up.

Then you would have to divert time away from maging and craft them instead. FoG is VERY good if you're low on cash. You can cast a ridiculous number of spells and since your opponent has his stat effectiveness reduced, as long as he's not like 70 levels higher than you, you should be able to hit a fair amount. I still train there. Where else am I going to cast that many fire blasts for free? You'd have to divert time from maging to craft them, yeah, but you'd also need to divert time from maging to, y'know, play FoG. You'd waste time chasing after an enemy who is actively avoiding you, you'd waste time being the hunted and not being able to cast spells at all, and you'd waste time waiting in the lobby to start games, and to top it off there's a good chance the opponent will switch to magic-resistant armour. So it's not really an effective way to train magic.

You need a lockpick to get in.

No.

Regular scorpions stop attacking when you are combat level 29 or higher. King scorpions stop attacking when you're level 65 or higher.

Hmm, I think Mark Rosewater said it better. He wasn't talking about the same game, but I think he really got to the crux of the matter. See, it's not about whether you like to skill, pvp, or merch, so much as it's about why you play the game and what gives you the most enjoyment. In this case we have our Timmies, who play for the experience, i.e. the thrill of the pk, the rush of soloing the KQ, the humorous dialogue in quests, or the glowy feeling of a level-up; and our [bleep]es, who play to win, i.e. pushing the hiscores, getting all the top equipment, and enjoying the competition of the game's multiplayer aspect. Not sure if Johnny fits in, since this game honestly doesn't lend itself well to customization. It's not that one player is exclusively a skiller or a pk'er, it's just that they're doing it for different reasons. Timmy will go monster hunting because of the adrenaline rush and the possibility of big rewards; [bleep]e will go monster hunting just to prove he can do it, or else because it's the most efficient moneymaker for him. Timmy will go PvP because of the visceral thrill of it; [bleep]e will go PvP to show that he's the boss. Timmy will go questing primarily because he likes the storylines and the plots and the cutscenes; [bleep]e will go questing primarily for the rewards. Timmy will train skills because he feels like it; [bleep]e will train skills because he likes having high levels. [bleep]e is more likely to merchant than Timmy, since Timmy generally considers it to be boring, whereas [bleep]e just recognizes it as an efficient means of getting money. That's what I think this article was getting at, but the writer failed to get past the "Combat vs. Skilling vs. Merching" to reach the basic motivations of the player. After all, there are very few players who will fall exclusively into one of those activities--how many people do you know who spend 100% of their time on Runescape merchanting?

Steels for sure have got to go.

It's spelled "corporeal" for future reference. Opposite of "ethereal." So don't listen to people who think it has a military rank.

No and no.

There is no number of tokens it should take. Just because you have 2k tokens doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get a rune defender if you use them all up. It took me almost that many just to get bronze. Don't get stuck in the gambler's fallacy. If you've already used up 1k tokens, it doesn't make your next cyclops more likely to drop a defender--for all the game cares, you could have just stepped into the arena for the first time.

You need to put it inside a large pouch first. The pouch will be destroyed after you place it on the altar, but now that you can just buy a new one in the Runecrafting Guild that shouldn't be a big deal.

The only monster worth hunting specifically for blue charms is Bork. Wallasalkis and the Corporeal Beast are supposedly good droppers as well, but neither of them are better for training summoning than hunting for crimson charms.

Oh, right. Silly of me not to have that down already, there being a portal right next to the tree and all. If I didn't already say that, I should have. Glad you liked it!
