Amascut! Thanks for the slayer assignments!

October or November 04, yoyo is my earliest item.

Ghostly Robes > PUr3 Robes.

I did MEP1 without a guide, and it was relatively easy. I was like "Oh, MEP2 can't be THAT much harder".
I was wrong.

97, gf Jad.

Dangit, and I need to go to Larry. Oh well, thanks for the heads up.

I've yet to see untrimmed runecrafting, probably because the ones that have RC are usually dedicated enough to get another 99.

I didn't see it, but you should mention Bork in the Chaos tunnels, it's a quick way to get some blue charms daily. Anyway, amazing guide, 10/10! Zamorak, I seriously doubt you will be able to do any serious killing at waterfiends. I have 80 in attack, strength, and defence, and I still am unable to kill them efficiently.
-
It really is easy. I only had to eat three times during all of the battles, the biggest problem was Karamel. Just re stock if you are about to die. Nothing much you can really help with.

Does anyone here know if the infinite energy spa would be worth using? Or is it not worth it due to the time restriction?
-
Not even 67, I did it with chefs delight and 66. I just cooked lobsters in rogues den for about 45 mins to get from 50-66.

I heard that superheat would give tons of magic/smith xp. You make money making steel, and if you just sit in a bank you can make up to 1800 bars an hour, roughly 95k xp.

I'm fairly low combat, 80 attack/str/def, and 85 ranged. I have 67 summoning and need 1 more level, what should I kill for the fastest xp? Would greater demons be a good choice? Waterfiends own me pretty hard, I tried.
*EDITED, Killed black demons for easy crimsons

I heard that you can get summoning charms with lootshare, is this true? Also, slayer is much harder, Ive seen tons of 99 untrimmed hp.
-
Thanks for the clarification :). I'm European so I know I probably mixed up a lot of words.

I'd be impressed with a lvl 3 skiller with 99 theiving. Nothing would suck more than picking a Hero, getting 4 damage when you only have 10 hp. lol
Actually they use blackjacks, and yes, Ive seen level 3's do The Feud.

To start off, I would like to explain "Price Manipulation".
Questions and Answers:
Q:What is price manipulation?
A:Price manipulation is the creation of false demand for an object. Example "Only 20 people can use item A, however, there are 300 of A available. Supply is greater than demand. A group of people decide to manipulate the price (AKA "merch") item A. The group of "merchanters" put in an offer in the grand exchange to buy 600 of item A. Demand now exceeds supply. This forces the price of item A to go up. The "merchanters" then "dump" (sell) the item at a set point (which is usually never reached). Upon doing so the price will begin to crash. For an example of a grand exchange chart, take a look at ranging amulets.
Q:How does this affect me?
A:No matter what you are doing, price manipulation CAN affect you. Items you may need can reach very high prices for absolutely no reason other than to make some quick GP for others. As an example, look at iron ore. Iron ore is currently 200gp, which is double the price iron ore has been for over 3 years. This is detrimental to smithers, who now notice that their skill has increased in price to level. Armour (especially barrows) is constantly put through this process.
Q:Is it reportable?
A:Not that I know of, however Jagex's official position has been to tell others NOT to partake in price manipulation, as they may lose large amounts of money.
Q:What is being done to stop price manipulation?
A:Jagex has yet to do anything about it.
Q:Is there a difference between price manipulation and "investing"?
A:Yes, there is. Investing is when one buys a large amount of an item, but instead of forcing the item to go up with False demand, the investor will just follow the natural "curve" of the items price graph. Merching or price manipulation is usually over a shorter period of time, while investing can be a process which takes months to profit greatly.
Q:Are the price increases of ALL items caused by merchanting?
A:Not at all. Inflation caused by an excess amount of gold in the economy (which is currently happening due to 76king) raises ALL prices in general. As people are able to afford more items, the price generally goes up for an item. If you take a look at the 180 day increase of most items, a somewhat "J" shape occurs, this is inflation. Summer is usually a time when price inflation occurs most rampantly, due to most of the RS population being out of school, and able to play more.
The Rant
AMG! MAH DR4G0N BONES R COSTS OVR 9000 NAU, I CNT PRAYER!"
Just walk into the Grand Exchange in world 2. Other than the massive amount of buyers and sellers of items, you will always ALWAYS see something like "JOIN [CLAN CHAT] AND MAKE MILS", usually in a glow3:wave style or something similar. This spam of clan chat advertisements is usually annoying to look at, but can be easily turned off. A few months ago, I thought "Hey, maybe I can try this thing out right?". So I joined a clan chat. I read some tips in the RSOF about how to avoid "scam merch clans". After reading this post, I believed I was safe. So I waited for a new merch to start in this certain clan chat.
A week of waiting finally brought a new merch item, dagon'hai robes. I thought "okay! time to buy some". So I managed to get my hands on about 5 sets for a price of 250k. Eventually the price went up to 750k, and I finally sold all of my sets, for a healthy profit. I instantly thought "WOW! Merching R0X!". I checked RSOF to see if any other merch clans were as successful. I went into the Items section of the forums, and noticed 4 or 5 threads about the dagon hai robes. I opened one up and saw a quester complaining about the price, seeing as you need a set to complete WGS. Other threads were similar, and I just simply thought 'Whatever, I made money, not my problem".
That is the problem though. I, in my greed, brought the price of a needed item up, just so I could profit. Although I only had 5 sets, I still contributed to the rise. See, that's the problem, people are selfish, and this trait is only heightened with merch clans. Well, that's just general greed pretty much, and everyone wants to get as much GP in this game as possible, for status/better armour. So where am I going with this? That price manipulation affects the economy negatively.
A lot of of arguments for price manipulation have been somewhat like this "Grand Exchange is like the stock market, so you can make the price go up just like the normal market!". This is untrue, in the real stock market, there are rules against what is called "insider trading", which is basically what merchanting is.
Some people have said that to fix this problem, to institute a "set-price" system of sort, where a price will NOT fluctuate. This is more harmful than helpful, as there is no way of telling if an item is selling, buying, etc... I have no clue on how to stop price manipulation other than to do something about the leaders of clans. However, until Jagex pursues any form of action, merchanting will run rampant and idiots will continue (as they have always done) to control the runescape economy.
If anyone has any ideas, I will gladly edit them in the post.
*I will edit in pictures.

I always had the idea that Vannaka was just chilling on a lounger while the battle was going on, then would be like "Okay, Time to rock!". He would then pick up some FF7 style sword and dropkick Lucien into the Abyss. Also, there will be cake./joke
Honestly, a 2nd godwar would make little sense unless Jagex makes a quest where the player finds out how the Edicts of Guthix are able to become bypassed (for long periods of time).

I just got 10k minds from slayer, I did the same thing (except underneath the mages guild), but I was there, just watching a movie.
:twisted:
Also, if you want to have a right laugh, use your cat to kill any mice that are being attacked.

I would mine iron in Rimmington mine, go smelt it, then smith it North West of fally. I did this to about level 60 mining and 55 smithing. I travelled to Varrock for the first time (2004) and saw anvils next to a bank, I facepalmed.

What do you guys think about so called "Luck Monkey"?
Example: A level 61 ranger feels up to the challenge of killing a single black dragon, in doing so they recieve a draconic visage as a drop. Said ranger then sells this visage and becomes instantly rich(er).
Not an Example: A level 61 rangers hates black dragons with a passion and decides to slay all of the ones in Runescape for killing them at a lower level. After about 1k kills said player recieves a Draconic Visage. The player then sells this visage to buy better bolts to fuel their passion for dragon hunting.

You don't need instructions to make it a 2nd time. It's much easier. Just google "Holy Water Runescape"
How many hours do you play per day?
