I think using the ardy cape to teleport to the monastery and mining iron there is faster than using a spirit kyatt. I haven't tested it yet, but you might want to look into that.

Possible to do an abyss run in 1:20 on average (you can do a little faster but this is a pretty reasonable figure which everyone should be able to achieve), which means you can do 45 runs/hour. You'll be able to craft 1900 ess/hour on average. You have to practice a bit to reach this though. O yeah I did forget an abyssal familiar here. Add 300 ess/hour or something :razz:

It's easier to farm than it is not to farm. :razz:

Why be so silly? Relying on a +6 boost is stupid, it's nigh-impossible to get. Train your skill until you are 4 levels from the required level. It's what I did for Smithing (88-> 92: Dragon platebody) and Crafting (86-90: Fury). It took less than 5 stews. Agreed. I regularly use stews for things like this, and you should consider it a +5 boost at best, not +6, because it is so wonderfully rare. This should be noted in the items database. At least get one level for it. Takes 5 hours to get 86 smithing which has no use for me and looks worse than 85. Would cost about 1600k too, about an hour of doing herb runs (which I'd do anyway, so actually more like 1.5 hours of crafting astrals). It is possible to collect spices for and eat 50 stews per hour. So, in the time it takes me to get 86 smithing (we'll just ignore the time it would take to get the +5 boost since it isn't rare), I could have used 300 stews. There's a 1/125 chance on a +6 boost each stew (5 possibilities, -2/-1/0/+1/+2, you need three +2's so 0.2^3. credits to brunokiller for this :razz:). (124/125)^300 = 9%. So, since there was a 91% chance I'd get that +6 boost within 6 hours, I decided just to do that and don't bother with smithing. I even googled around some forums, and people usually recommend others to get the extra level for a +5 boost 'because the +6 boost took me about 40 stews :o'. I honestly don't think it was such a weird decision, and I'm not going to throw away the 8 hours already spent on it because there's another 91% chance I'll get it in the next 6 hours :mrgreen: Would be funny if you get the boost right before stats go down every minute. You are like "yes!", and one second later it's 90 again. Haha I'm making sure that doesn't happen, I stew for 45 seconds after my stats drop and then I wait till they drop again.

I kinda dislike this elite ardougne diary 91 smithing req. Training 85-86 smith for the easier +5 boost from stews would have taken about 5 hours, so I thought I'd get the +6 boost faster than that. But no, 400 stews used so far, 27 +5 boosts and even a 91/85 rc boost, but still no +6 smithing boost. I'll keep going till 500 stews, if I haven't gotten it by then that's a nice 10 hours wasted on absolutely nothing lol.

The +5 boost isn't rare at all. I got it 24 times so far in 333 stews, so 1/14 or something. I only watched smithing though, but I'd imagine the average would be about the same for every skill. Sadly still no +6 smithing boost after 333 stews, trying to get a +6 is a complete waste of time. :-| I believe your other questions have been answered.

15-15-5-7-10, could have been so much better :cry:

Hehe I thought it was some massive joke with all the people using way too many enters on purpose, but apparently that happened with the forum conversion.

Lol belgium. Good job on 99 :thumbup:

This, but gold-green-blue-crimson after 89. Sometimes it might be better to use some blues before 89, if you're able to unlock a better crimson charm pouch that way.

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators/Miscellania So, 100% herbs 50% seeds is the most profit atm, but I predict herbs will start dropping pretty soon.

Where did all the money from your 30 whips/11 bows etc go lol Good luck with the last two levels, and grats on 96 summ of course :thumbup:

You're basically paying 51.6m for 1863k of 'useless' (unless you want the cape) runecrafting xp. I'd say astrals are really worth it at the moment, their price is really high.

Turn sounds and auto retaliate on, and have range pray on. If you hear something before you get hit, turn on mage pray, turn range pray back on once you get hit and try to find jad. Once you can see him, just watch his attacks. When the healers appear, have them all attack you then move around a bit so only one of them can attack you. Turn on 15% def pray, heal if needed. Finish off jad. Make sure you have inv space before he dies so you don't lose your cape to a random :razz:

I was able to craft 3000-3200 ess/hour making astrals, which averages out to about 26.5-28.3k xp/hour (including pouch repair runs). You have to be pretty fast to get that xp rate at the abyss, and astrals are better profit too. They're definitely worth crafting, even over zmi.

Only like 12% actually (not counting in the extra banks to get more extreme mage pots), since you have to do relatively more lures. It will be about 30% cheaper though.

Use that charmpattern link, only make it use pouches that have a reasonably priced 2nd etc. If you want to know the approximate cost, 7 gp/xp should be close if you start with having just the charms and finish with having sold everything. That calculator can basically do everything for you.

Randomly used some charms: Got 87 herblore too today and finished ardy diary, just the rune crossbow (eeew stews) and manta tasks left to finish the elite part. 5k phoenix feathers to go after that for 90 herblore. :^_^:

Stand just west of the gate to the sheep pen (from sheep herder) and maybe 2 spaces east of the river, and rub the key.

I'd say it would only be more advantageous to use extreme mage pots with barrages, since you get more magic xp from damage done compared to base xp from those. It would probably cost more since barrages are more expensive, but extreme magic pots would make them relatively cheaper.

Yeah. You'd have to cast 30% less bursts though, so it would also save you like 20 hours. And you'd have 91 herblore, which you can also use to make extreme super sets and stuff. Note that the 12 gp/xp figure for herblore is pretty rough, I kinda guessed that from 64-85 costing 15 gp/xp and 85-91 costing 8 gp/xp or something around that.

Oh wait, I meant herblore there.

You get 180 magic xp/burst, 40 xp base and 140 xp from the damage done. You would get 236k xp per 1k bursts with extreme magic pots. You would basically need 30% less bursts, or you'd save about 430k per 1k bursts you were planning to use. About 78k bursts needed to get 99 summoning from 88 without the pots, so you'd save 33.5m by using extreme mage pots. Getting 91 herblore would cost you 68m at 12 gp/xp (which is pretty low). You'll have to decide for yourself if you think 91 herblore is worth 35m.

Awesome link. You could get level 47 with those charms if you'd use them all, but I would recommend saving the blues. Waiting a little longer until you have enough charms for 52 would be good too.
