D Jay99

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators/Potions Like everything including extreme potions (lantadyme rose to 6k each, extreme defs used to be good) is 25+ gp/xp at the moment. That pretty much means you're looking at at least 300m to get 99 herblore, plus most stuff is either unbuyable or crashing. The market is really unstable, the only relatively safe thing to do would be training with serum 207, which is like 90k xp/hour if you buy unf pots and still pretty expensive. I'd advise against getting 99 at the moment, maybe get 90 to unlock the useful pots and get 99 when the market is stable again (will probably take a while).

That 3m cost estimate was off by a lot actually, I have no idea how I got to 3m. It's about 12m (at 7 gp/xp, might be a bit higher for you cause of lower level pouches).

I really like the in other news... this week, awesome updates that are actually useful in day-to-day gameplay. :thumbup:

Okay, then use that spot.

2. Anything over 70/80 mage bonus is overkill. If you can get that with dagon-hai, you could use that instead of ahrims without efficiency loss. I think you can get like 50 mage bonus max with void and I haven't seen any tests on that, so I'm not really sure if that would be worth it. I don't think it would hurt much to try it though, just don't go get a void mage helm just for that. 4. I think the u-bend spot got unusable after the safespot update, I heard you have to use the ladder now. I haven't tried it myself yet though. 6. At my level, using the charms costs about 7 gp/xp after having traded in all pouches/charms etc. So, that would be 25m for the runes and like 3m for the actual summoning. You will initially have to spend more on the shards, but you will get a large percentage of that back. All of your other assumptions/statements are correct as far as I know.

He's considering doing either nats or double cosmics, not astrals. Ooh wait. I thought he was 82 already. Never mind that post. I've done countless of nature runs already: yet 3k an hour has never ever been achievable for me, whether I used graahks, 4-pouch-graahks, abbys, fairy rings, selling+buying back to tai bwo wannai.... Really when I measure over long times (1-2 hours) I get at most 2.5k crafted an hour. I'd like to see a video or some other proof that it's done. (Sure at times you will get 3k an hour, but it's impossible to sustain that speed even if you could nullify the human behaviour). You can ask almost any maxed player for ess/hour and they'll all reply with 3k/hour or something. It just takes concentration and practice. I'm pretty sure I could get it myself too, I'll try it when I can be bothered.

You can't even craft astrals through the abyss. Try to calc it again, but with 3k ess used/hour for both natures and astrals.

600k xp/hour. Yeah. If you're doing to defend yourself at least do it properly :razz: 7/10 for 99 range, good luck with whatever you're going to use it for.

I went 11 abyssal demon tasks without a whip at some point, that really made me start to dislike the task. I'm currently at 7 boots ~2k spirit mages kills too, but I never had more than 2 tasks without boots. Never really had any other dry streaks because I don't monster hunt. I just can't get myself to do that regularly without having at least close to perfect stats/items.

I don't know about your stats, but last time I finished my task of 4 miths in 4.5 minutes without extreme antifires (and thus having to eat more often). Lbs + rune def = 86 stab + 55 str Zs = 85 stab + 75 str They have the same speed too I think, since zs is whip speed and so are most swords. +20 str better than +1 stab?

If you know the amount of experience you want, you can usually calc the cost/profit by using this.

Iron/steel dragons, hellhounds and kalphites for me. First two because the task takes quite a while to finish and doesn't give good xp, even though it might be a lot better now with extreme antifires + zs + yak. I haven't tried that yet. Hellhounds because they're just plain boring, and kalphites annoy me for some reason. Maybe it's the crowds and the poison. Anyway, I'd recommend blocking those, but just swap hellhounds/kalphites with whatever tasks you dislike. For advice on how to do tasks the fastest way possible, check this guide.

About 13m cash and 170m in items at the moment. Will turn 10m in antifires into worthless extreme antifires soon though.

Any mage bonus over 70/80 or something gets you the same results. You actually want the boots and the lyre, after you bank them they free space up for the drops you'll get (unless you want to leave the arrows on the ground for the first two ppots in order to lengthen your trip).

Ehm I can't really be bothered to check the inv etc, but you seem to have too many placeholders. My setup: (with some monks and a thrownaxe in terrorbird): Basically swap some placeholders with ppots, and bring an imp box to bank lyre/boots to free up 3 spaces for drops.

About 260 per 1k bursts, or 5.2k crims total. It's like 110k summ xp/1k bursts (depending on summ level), that would be 2150k summoning xp.

3.5m xp needed for 94. About 180k xp/burst, 600 bursts/hour. 19.5k bursts needed, 32.5 hours. I'll assume sc hats only double the amount you get from what you hit on the lobs, not the base xp. If they do double all the xp, you'll save around 14,5m. You get 320 xp/burst if they double what you get from hits, 11k bursts needed, they save you the cost of 8.5k bursts or 12.5m.

Yes, but doing only maples from 45-99 is still about 90 hours of firemaking, and in that you do nothing that changes the routine for those long hours I know many who changed to doing eucalyptus or magic logs instead :unsure: 90 hours of rc from your level will maybe get you like 80 rc. Good luck with 99 lol. A nearly 2 years old slayer setup :razz:

They tend to do that, almost anything interrupts the warning message (or the you'd better stroke it message), including banking etc. Mine ran away three times before I finally managed to grow one :razz: Just try to feed it at 70% or something and stroke it every 10%.

I know of someone who killed 41k dusties and got 2 d chain drops. The droprate really is low.

Ah. You shouldn't try to chin while doing other stuff, it takes quite a lot of attention to get them all to line up properly and keep attacking etc. You wont be getting good xp per chin or anything close if you multitask.

:huh: Don't troll this thread digi 10/10 (strange really, everything over 2300 total gets a 10/10 from me. like there's no improvement possible anymore from that point on). Good luck with the last two skills!

Untrimmed capes suck anyway :anxious:

I'd like to add two songs to that :razz: 65daysofstatic - I Swallowed Hard, Like I Understood Tides From Nebula - Screaming At Anything That Moved Not my all time favourites or something (haven't heard them enough to be able to say that), but I currently like them a lot.

Awesome level! You worked hard for it, you really deserve it :thumbup: Good luck with future goals and have fun showing off your cape :P
