D Jay99

I don't know about others, but I totally felt forced to train herblore after the herblore update. And that was just for extreme potions. You don't think people would feel really forced to kill all those monsters for a 'free' 99? I don't think that's a good thing.

Something like that indeed. Sounds like an awesome way to spend the last 10 hours before you die. Also, I'd listen to all of my favourite songs one more time.

Assuming a 1/18 chance each chest, there a 1.42*10-9% chance of that happening. It would surprise me if you actually counted all those chests and didn't just make up a nice number that seemed to fit in with the seemingly large number of chests you've gone without an item.

I find it kind of weird how you want a detailed explanation of how exactly evolution works even though you have already been provided with lots of information and evidence that proves evolution is at least very plausible considering the facts we have at the moment, but choose to believe in a simple "from the dust of the ground... and man became a living being." Yes, I did quote that from wikipedia and it's a simplified version of what genesis actually says, but the meaning should still be the same.

Yeah, she did it with 92 hp/melees and quite fast too. That people don't have it is mostly because you have to only train on things that drop charms, like rock lobs/waterfiends/slayer. I could get it too if I hadn't gotten farming already, but there is no way you can get 99 slayer if you don't set out to do that from the start (70 melees max). Since most people only find out they want an untrimmed slayer cape when they are already a higher level, it's really hard (if not impossible) to get it without starting a new account just for that. Slayer is definitely the hardest.

If I quit, I will within the next few months so my stats wont change much anymore. I don't think I will though, no reason to quit yet. If I don't quit, I'll probably have maxed all combat except melee by november, and maybe all 90+ too.

Hmm that would kind of suck. But it's within reason, and there is a fairly large chance the rol saves you anyway. Maybe infinity gloves instead of barrows would help you save the master wand/ahrim skirt?

I was planning to use almost the exact same method of bursting, but I'm a little worried about what will happen when I lag out. Of course, the rol will probably save me, but can you tell me the total money lost on death with that setup? :P

What money? I'd either spend it on some decent equipment to train some combat stats/gather charms, or use it to get 60/70+. 99 smithing isn't really within your budget at the moment, before you consider that maybe try to find a good moneymaking method you like?

No it's day/night :mrgreen: Hmm I forgot to save it as .png. <_<

31k bursts gets me charms for 88-96 (already have 80-90 banked before i started bursting) and I'm on my itouch in school so i can't check your summoning level. But I'd assume you'd easily get charms for 96 with 49k bursts using the 9 lob spot. I'd get 92 herby before hand though, and use extreme mage pots to reduce the ammount of casts by ~55%. I have a picture of a nice setup ai can show you after school. Then get 90+ prayer, or get it before hand. I'll go more indepth at home (if you do this). About 110k summoning xp/1k bursts on average, so yeah it would get him like 92. If you're really going to use all those bursts, get the herb level for extreme mage pots first :P What's the best method for training herblore? I'm really clueless. Are there any particular guides to show me which is the cost/time efficient potions to make? Right now, I'm thinking of selling 27k dbones leaving me with 13k which will get me 92 prayer. The 108M from the dbones will be channelled to herblore probably. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators/Potions should help, but extreme pots aren't on there so you will have to figure out the cheapest/most efficient potion after 84 for yourself. Prayer potions/serum 207 or something would be cheap but slow, anything else is over 20/25 gp/xp. There's not really a 'best' potion to make atm, the prices change a lot.

If you just want the advantages and not a 99, 95 herblore (looks nicer than 96 lol. get 90 if you don't particularly care about overload) and 90/95 prayer would be a better option. If you do want a 99, I recommend herblore (extreme pots etc help way more than a few more ppoints and are really worth 100m more - imagine all the boss hunting you will be able to do faster to make the money back). And as joe said, 88 summoning is really nice to have too. It would cost about 220m total to get 90 herb/prayer/summoning (by bursting, way cheaper if you do something else), which would get you almost the full advantages of all of them and for less cost than 99 herb.

You don't really need 90 prayer, if you have money problems it will probably be better to sell them. Try to sell one, if it sells at max sell the rest too (or wait one update, but I can't guarantee they will still sell at max then. Usually when I wait another update the item I want to sell suddenly starts crashing).

No. With his stats he should be able to get like 250 crims/1k bursts (idk how inaccurate 71 mage is), and a total summoning xp equal to like 1.25 (not entirely accurate, this number gets lower at higher levels since other charms max out faster than crims) times the xp from just crimson charms. You can cast about 500 casts/hour (it is slightly higher actually, but when you factor in getting there/distractions etc it averages out to about 500), at a cost of 1400-1500 xp/burst and ~260 crims/1k bursts.

+4 str will never be worth 6 hours, unless you're going to get 200m melee xp or something. If you spend 6 hours making 500k/hour, you will have enough money for about 40 hours of using 10% str prayer, which helps a lot more.

About 3k more (if you don't get any other charms).

It all depends on what you will be killing. We can't tell what ratio of crim:gold:green:blue charms you'll need without that. If you're going to burst, you'll need about 12k bursts. For slayer, you'll need to slay about 1500k slayer xp (highly variable). I don't really have data on anything else. Your estimate seems on the high side though, you'll need maybe 3k crimson charms max. Make barker toads and fruit bats, save your blues or use them on the most cost efficient elemental titan. Try to save most of your crimson charms till 85 for swamp titans, but if you can't get 85 without using them just make some granite lobsters.

nothing :P The profit/hour really surprised me, I will be trying this after I get extreme pots :shock: Also, congrats on the 5 verac's helms :thumbup:

It costs, for example, about 4k per charm to get crimson charms via bursting, not to mention the time it takes to get them. When calculating whether golds/greens would be worth using you should always take the 'price' of the crimsons into account. Getting more crimsons is usually less inefficient than paying slightly more and using your golds/greens. Use them if you have them anyway, but if you're collecting charms hunt for crimsons (duh :P)

Thanks paul, that doesn't sound too bad!

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a guide or just explain how to efficiently use these mines. Information on experience rates and profit would be nice too. I kinda want to know if my aversion to mining is still enough of a reason not to get all 90+, or if mining has been made that much more bearable I can actually try to get all 90+ now Thanks!

7/10? You need to post more :P

Ooh you've organized your bank in almost exactly the same way as I have :P (charms/food/farming and I used to have a slayer drop tab too) [hide=Compare?][/hide] That's a pretty old pic actually, my bank currently looks a lot more like yours than that pic. Meh didn't have a more recent one :razz:
