Kalphites, greater demons, iron/steel dragons. I'll probably unblock greaters after 127, no idea what I'll block instead.

It doesn't really matter anyway, for the bonuses are so small they're barely noticable. Only buy a zerker if you want to feel like you're using the best ring possible, but it honestly wont really affect your xp. Same for row, some people love it because of the drops it gives them and some people get the same drops without it. In the end, the differences are so small it's just a matter of preference. If you want a slightly raised chance on a better rare drop, wear a row, if you want more xp, wear a warrior/zerker. If you want your ring to make you money, you're probably better off wearing a ring of life, as it will probably save you more money than your row will ever get you in drops.

Decrepit Birth - Diminishing Between Worlds (album)

I got 22k xp/axe at teaks when I tried them there. :? Can it be that far off?

Yay.

Ah. That was indeed what I meant, now I'm curious about compfreak's rates :P

Seriously. You are both arguing over something, using numbers that you supposedly posted 40 something pages back, without actually making a point. Let's make one post with all rates posted so far in it, now it's just a bunch of 'I did post my rates and they prove such and such!' and 'No you didn't, I disproved them a few pages later!'. You need to realize you're not getting anywhere without rates on slayer xp, I suggest you start with either collecting reliable data, getting that data yourself or reposting it.

The average is 6.64 herbs/seed, including the death rate of about 10% (my data, over 2k seeds). So, at current prices: Snapdragons: 18.5k profit/patch, 26k at my arms. Ranarr: 17k profit/patch, 22k at my arms. Toadflax: 15k profit/patch, 17k at my arms. Snapdragons give the most xp too, so plant those. Farming level doesn't affect yields.

I don't know about you, but I don't get that much. With mouse keys and forum browsing, I got an average of 60k xp/hour or something as a max. Not really playing sc and getting 3 axes an hour (60 reward pts) is like getting 60k wc xp an hour. So while playing sc and having fun, I'm getting 60k wc xp an hour (if I actually go out and use my axes). With smithing it's 90k, but smithing is a bit faster to train than wc'ing anyway. On the other hand, with smithing you save money. No, it'll take you another hour to use those 3 axes at teaks, so basically you spend 2 hours for 30k xp. Smithing is a true win-win, hammers save you time and money :P Bedman was right. You spend one hour getting the axes, then one hour getting double xp. So in twice the time, you get twice the xp. Doesn't buy you anything unless you really hate wc. No. That 60k xp is double xp, so it'll take you 30 minutes to use at 60k xp/hour (yeah in my other post I was wrong too). Say it takes 45 minutes for 3 sc games doing noncombat xp, it will still take you 1 hour and 15 minutes to get 60k xp, which is slower than just using a dragon hatchet. About the hammers. Let's assume I'm normal and play sc on the official world, at a rate of about 60 sc points/hour, which I can use to buy 3 hammers. Those hammers will get me a total of 192k double xp. I'm going to use them to smith addy bolts, of which I can make around 1.2k/hour or 75k xp/hour. It will take me another 1.5 hours to use hammers. That makes a total of 2.5 hours for 192k xp, or 77k xp/hour. Using a normal hammer, I would have gotten 75k xp/hour, at double the cost and nearly double the actual smithing time. Of course, if you do non combat sc, it only gets better.

If you can get a steady supply of watermelon seeds and have white lilies planted in the flower spot, then watermelons become awesome xp. I started growing watermelons again during my push to 99 because of lilies; they helped me get my cape a lot quicker. Not knowing exactly what average yields are, just guessing 10 for the sake of easy math: 10 melons * 5 = 50 melons per run (2725 xp per run). How many runs can you do a day: 5? 8? More? Cheap watermelon seeds are as good as planting trees. Any higher allotment seeds would have to have longer growing times in order to prevent them from displacing trees. Maybe that would be a good thing; I won't speculate. Average yield is over 15, I've had over 30 watermelons from one patch multiple times as well. I also think the average yield is way higher than 10, I did them for a few days during 98-99 and my max was 55/patch (really annoying, couldn't note them at the leprechaun yet so had to drop them all :/)

Not really playing sc and getting 3 axes an hour (60 reward pts) is like getting 60k wc xp an hour. So while playing sc and having fun, I'm getting 60k wc xp an hour (if I actually go out and use my axes). With smithing it's 90k, but smithing is a bit faster to train than wc'ing anyway.

[yt]lroAbYuzZnM[/yt] Woah. The riff after the intro just makes me want to throw something out of the window

[/hide] Big congrats. You did the right thing, instead of going on rants and venting about an unfixable problem, you worked through and recovered. That's amazing, I would be royally pissed if I lost that much + defender + fire cape :shock: :shock: I was browsing tif like I usually do while I kill bork after the cutscene, and apparently the mage hit me high or something so when I switched back I was in fally. I wasn't really that annoyed, just surprised it actually happened after 200+ borks. Then I was like 'Meh, waste of time. Guess I'll go get it back :| '. That really is advisable, I now have everything back (because I still had my addy defender ) and all it has cost me are that bones that should have gotten me 84-85 pray (well, slightly more but that was just deducted from my cash pile) :P

This morning I died at bork, lost my dragon axe (for jade vine), fire cape and karils over whip/d hally/fury :P Funny enough, I always seem to die where you can't get to your grave (quest areas and stuff). Got 2 more defenders and currently on wave 53 of fight caves :) No idea if this post has any discussion value but I felt like posting it. - Got it :mrgreen:

Desultory - Into Eternity (album) :D

nice pwny you have there :thumbup:

Not possible to travel back in time, we'd sure see people from the future here if it was. Your idea about travelling into the future sounds plausible, but I'm pretty sure someone will soon disprove it :P I don't think I would travel in time if I could, our civilization is quite a lot more advanced than it was even 100 years ago, let alone more than 100 years.

It's not that bad imo. I just dislike the people who feel they have to put their name under every post.

o u gud Grats :D

Good job :D

Heh, it's funny :D Vader - De Profundis (album)

Summining - Lugburz (album) It depresses me :D

Baa! :thumbup: Now go slaughter some abyssal things :D
