No, I do not have an EE. It's a little too far off to get before attempting this.

I'm not comfortable meleeing everything. I was just wondering if it would help me during parts of the caves. I'll just skip it. @JGHCeltic Thanks for the advice. I like your inventory. I'll use it. I'm fairly confident about the prayer switching but the whole healers thing is going to be interesting.

This is my first time giving Jad a legitimate shot so any simple advice that you may think I already know should be repeated please! I've messed around in there before (I reached level 25-30 without food or prayer pots) but haven't really tried to go far and get the cape. I learned the italy fairly well and think I am going to try to range it. One little question would be if I should bring a whip or not. It seems that it could speed up some of the kills but I don't know if it is worth the inventory space or not. Also, if I do bring the whip should I bring a defender for it or just use the shield I'm using for range? Also, again, if I should bring a whip and melee some which of the monsters should I melee? I'm guessing 45s, 90s, and 360s but not sure. I will be ranging Jad for sure. Here's my setup so far. Suggestions are welcome. Helm: Neitzot (may upgrade to veracs as I am worried about running out of prayer) Chest: Black dragonhide (could get karils but doesn't seem worth it) Legs: Verac's Necklace: Fury Boots: Snakeskin (better than dragon right?) Ammo: 3K broad bolts. 200 enchanted diamond for Jad. Ring: Archers Hands: Regen brace (don't have barrows gloves) Cape: Accumulator Weapon: Rune c'bow Shield: Granite or spirit shield? Inventory 6 brews (I may want more as I'm probably going to make a lot of mistakes) 2 super restores Wrench (better than an extra prayer potion?) Whip? 3 range potions (I presume pot on 360s and Jad?) Rest prayer potions How does this look? Any tips are very welcome. Thanks! EDIT: First attempt was unsuccessful. Not too surprised. I did really well up to Jad. None of the levels getting to him bothered me. During the actual fight I messed up a couple of times on the prayer switching but tanked about 5 of his hits. After a minute or two I got his attacks down. Then he summoned the healers. And this is where I died. I was trying to pay attention to Jad's attacks while attacking them but, I when I switched prayers once I second guessed myself and switched it back at the last second. Boom. Dead. I don't know if I need to do anything differently or not. I had lots of supplies left going into Jad. 5 brews, 3 prayer pots, a range pot and a super restore. I'm going to try him again. Maybe tomorrow.

I remember when my friend found the "greatest way to make money!!!!!!!". It involved buying silk from the trader in Al-Kharid then walking my butt all the way up to Varrock and then selling it at the general store for a 5gp profit each. It was mad cash. Then we panicked when "there was a crash!!!!!!!". Meaning someone hadn't bought out the silk we'd sold to the general store by the time we walked back. This cut our profits to 2gp each. Still, 50 gp. Pretty solid stuff. Also, dying in the Dwarven mines from a KING SCORPIAN! When my friend fell for a gold trimming scam. It was a high crime. Being a "really high level miner". Meaning about mid 60s. I could mine coal in the mining guild and sell it at fally for 100gp ea. Now that was huge profit. When killing the Kaliphite queen was a preposterous idea. When my brother got fully addy. I was sooooooooooooooooooo jealous. I was stuck in my steel. Oh man. Dying from the evil wizards south of varrock. "THEY AMBUSHED ME OUT OF NOWHERE! I DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE!!!!" When someone with dragon armour was a god. This is really sad. I made an account, straight out of Tutorial Island and I died to a level two spider. I thought my account was over so I made a new account. When I convinced a friend to make a account so I could take his bronze arrows and runes. When buying a rune pick was a bank busting investment. I'll think of more.

Sorry, not to hijack thread but about how long do the entire caves take?

It's not that big a deal but while dungeoneering I find it quite a setback.

You can't post direct links to RSOF anymore on Tip.It because people were using it as a way to scam others so you can only provide QFCs now. Ok. Cool. I just used the QFC. So this problem has been going on for 10 days? I usually use a different computer when I play, I'm using my Dad's computer today. He has a mac and it's newer than the one I usually use. I guess I'll just go back to my other computer.

Link didn't work...

You're probably right. I am on a mac..... :-/ I believe it was a result of the latest version update to 10.6.5. There's a topic on the RSOF about it, QFC: 25,26,375,61908867 QFC was invalid?

Oh boy. Tried the graphics settings on min. Still not working....

You're probably right. I am on a mac..... :-/

Still gone.

Yup. I see red, yellow and white dots. Nothing else. I don't how else to explain it. I am dungeoneering.

It's called W117. Anyway, I would do 5:5 C6 larges your last 5 or so floors, including new ones. Good luck finding a decent team though.

Thanks. Lock please.

Haha. Nevermind. Can't use the surgebox as I do not have 70 runecrafting. Keep the arrows or go for laws?

So I bound sagg arrrow because I heard that can be alched for money to start a dungeon. It says I can't alch these. Am I doing something wrong? So now I need to decide do I bind the surgebox I have or laws or keep these arrows? I also had a gorg 2h bound.

You need to calculate the time you would save by using frost dragon bones vs. dragon bones and the extra money it would cost you. Reduce it down to a gp/hr formula and decide if you value your time at more or less than that rate.

Ok, what exactly is an "aggressive stance" and is it worth it? And to what level? I'm saving my tokens for a rapier also.

Thanks for the replies. So can someone explain the whole customization thing with the ring?

I'm sorry if this makes anyone who has spent dozens of hours searching for one sick, but yesterday I got a hood. If you could tell me how to best utilize it and which characters it makes me invisible to that would be great. Also, I am currently using gorgonite 2h. I found someone to make me one yesterday. He said that spear was better and I also see many people with a maul. I know "better" is hard to describe so if you just told me the pros and cons of each of them and which you suggest it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.

So while dungeoneering on W117, everyone is always saying not to kill those dinosaur looking animals because they reduce xp. Is this a fact or some malicious rumor started by PETA advocates? Also, I reached 50 dungeoneering this afternoon and am wondering what the best 2nd bind would be for me? I've heard that shadow hood thing is good but I doubt I'll come across one for a while.

I have always taken the hides. Seems worthwhile to me.

So I'm currently superheating 8,000 gold bars to get 70 smithing (about 2/5th so far). I'm going to be left with a lot of leftover gold bars. Is it best to just sell them back to the GE? They are just worth so little. I've heard of smithing them with gems which is partially an option for me as I have quite a gem collection going but I don't see the point in that. Would that be to gain crafting xp? More money? Thanks.

He may have used some effigies or something because he now only 10k from 200M. Impressive. I still think that 200M rcing requires more dedication as killing monsters is a little more interesting than repeating over and over with runecrafting.
