You have 70 defence right? Don't see why you can't use barrows, they're easily the cheapest of the good armors. But anyway you can use Bandos instead I guess.

Knocking out and pickpocketing bearded pollnivnian bandits would be better exp than plunder.

You can already do that. It's called a salamander. :P

Even single nature runes? :thumbsup: Hey, it's still faster. You'll get half as many nats, but it'll be half of a bigger number.

Graahks are still going to be faster than the abyss, so if you're crafting nats, go for it.

1. Whip for most tasks. I am usually quite impressed by how well GS hits on kalphites and scabarites though. 2. ZMI altar, teleporting back and forth with Lunar magic. When you get to 82, you can make over 1mil/hour doubling astrals if you're okay with slower exp than ZMI. 3. If you range aviansies and sell the addy bars, you could buy dragonhide/leather or any other crafting materials. Would probably be faster ranged and crafting exp than black dragons by quite a bit. 4. Bursting rock lobsters is quite excellent if you want the summoning exp. Expensive, but you could spend extra time at aviansies and use the cash to buy the runes. Kills three birds with one stone. I second all of those, except that black dragonhides are a pretty damn expensive way of training crafting. Even if you're getting 91 runecrafting. Green dragonleather seems like a more frugal choice. Don't bother buying them untanned though, unless you think you can make more by tanning d'hides than by crafting double astrals.

At today's prices it's definitely more profitable to craft laws, deaths, double cosmics, or doule astrals instead. A graahk is still faster than the abyss for crafting nats, and definitely worth it if you can double them. If you can't craft laws yet and you want to craft nats, then you might as well use a graahk for it, I guess.

Actually there are 549 songs, and the counter adds an extra one. It's a minor bug that Jagex still hasn't fixed.

not exactly. the highest shade requires that you burn them with magic pyre logs. when you do, you get the rarer silver keys and have a slightly better chance of getting the better reward. I would train my firemaking to 85 then forget about for awhile... I kinda forgot about that part, it's been years since I've pyred. At any rate, I do believe that Shades of Mort'ton is long overdue for a revitalization. Or at the very least, a "Make-X" for pyre logs. You need to click on the sacred oil and the logs one at a time now.

If the only sources you use are official Jagex ones, you should find that spoilers are pretty easy to avoid. Ever been to a quest page in the Knowledge Base (Game Guide, whatever)? You get a brief summary of what the quest is about, a list of requirements, and the rewards are hidden in spoiler tags. And if you get stuck on a quest, Questhelp quite litarally refuses to spoil the whole thing for you, pointing you the way just one step at a time, not even giving you the whole answer unless you demand it. Okay, there's the occasional Fight Caves guide, where reading the article gives you a pretty good idea of what kind of strategy you'll need. But being "spoiled" in that case seems a lot better to me than fighting through 60 waves only to get killed in one hit because you didn't know to put on pro range when Jad slams his feet on the ground.

range bonus eh, wow have i been barking up the wrong tree wearing Ahrims. :thumbsup: :P I think I've just been caught in a pretty nasty typo there. :-# *magic :oops:

The santa suit is in the lead for the guaranteed content poll about our next Christmas event. If it ends up winning, it's very likely that people will be wanting santa hats to match it, so I think a short-term rise in price is likely. Then again, everybody else will be thinking the same thing, so I wouldn't be surprised if it crashed soon afterwards. But if you're planning on taking a break from runescape, seems like a low-end rare would be a good investment. In the long-term, the supply can only decrease, which means it's a lot more likely to rise than it is to fall.

From what I've heard, a zamorak spear should be just as effective as a sara sword. It actually has a higher crush attack anyway, so even though it won't hit as hard, it should be more accurate. And it must be possible to do without a bunyip, because people were fighting these before summoning 2 came out and made it the uber-healer it is now. Presumably you'll just need shorter trips than the people who do have them. That's all I can tell you, though...I don't have any experience killing waterfiends, I'm afraid.

Slayer Dart is definitely affected by your range bonus, but at today's prices it's probably more economical to use fire wave. Bloods are cheaper than deaths nowadays. And I suppose a black salamander would top either one.

That is correct.

Dragon chains are weak. Wear granite until you can wear Guthan's.

West of Catherby there are 7 yew trees in close proximity, reasonably close to a bank. The area can sustain a large number of players at the same time, so you shouldn't have to worry about crowdedness if you chop there. Another alternative is to chop eucalyptus logs. The experience is faster, and the profit is still quite good. It requires starting As a First Resort.

Tiadeche sells raw karambwan. So you could get those. ;)

It's possible to get items otherwise only obtainable from treasure trails. Trimmed armor and such. So theoretically I suppose the best thing you could get would be a sara plate. Best I've gotten in 250 kills was a couple of Guthix Pages and a dragon spear. Worst is addy javelins. You get charms about once every 4 corpses in fairly even amounts, so they're great for blue charms I guess. The main drawback is that even though your flail gets pumped up, it still remains horribly slow. So at best, its power level is going to be close to, like, a d2h. And who uses those? So kills are slow.

The point where you can kill the fire giants is about 2 minutes before the quest is over. So, might as well do the quest.

but then how to sell top hat ;P Well, ideally you wanted the top hat already. And now you have a top hat. Isn't that what I said? If you don't have the junk already, you're screwed. And what's the use of making junk if you get better value for your time doing something that makes real profit? I mean you can make about 1.5k maple longbows (u) an hour. That's 150k profit. Can you really not make 150k/hr? Although admittedly it could be a good way to make cash by training fletching, if you were going for a high fletching level. But that should be done to train fletching, not solely for the purpose of making junk.

At level 99 I can catch 300-350 lobsters in an hour. That's maybe a dozen or two fish faster than monkfish. Trust me, it is NOT worth catching lobs to 99 fishing. You could be looking at an extra 200 hours. That's enough time to get 99 woodcutting afterwards. Oh, and you'd lose out on millions of gp as well.

I think 70 attack and 70 strength should be enough to do all the quests. You might get by with less, too. There's always super sets to help you out.

Generally, it's waste of time to make junk yourself when you could spend that time doing something that actually gives real profit instead of junk profit. The best junk is junk that you already have--e.g. 10m needles you got randomly at a drop party, or 20k maple longs (u) you used for trainign fletching a while ago, or large quantities of unfinished Guthix Balance Potions you used to train herblore, or a big pile of Adamant Javelins you got as drops at some point. Or, you could do a junk trade on the buying end. Buy somebody's Top Hat or whatever at whatever ridiculous price they want and reuse the junk to sell your 3rd Age thingy, and you've just gotten a damn good deal on a Top Hat.

You're clearly too poor to chop willows at this point. You'd be two thirds of the way to 99 before you'd have enough willows to buy a dragon axe. I recommend chopping yews until you can afford your d axe, then continuing at yews all the way until 99. You will appreciate being rich a lot more than the time you save. It's only worth it to do willows instead of yews if you make like 300k gp/hr. And if you make that much it's better to do teaks instead of willows anyway, because you only earn 3.4m if you get 99 at willows--that's not worth the ~30 hours you save at teaks.
