Steel bars if you've got a decently high income. Iron bars with rings of forging if you don't. Use the hammer from SC; it really does help a ton.

But the whole point is that they didn't get lucky and just "find" the money; they worked for a long time to earn it. Or they got party hats back when they were released as a drop and have been dedicated enough to play ever since then. That's not luck.

I heard that it can be done with normal birds, but it's a much lower drop rate (not sure, since I've still got my cornucopia sitting safely in my house). If anyone has the drop rates, they would be a helpful to consult.

He most likely spent a lot of time learning how to make it through the levels, invested heavily in expensive bolts for his c'bow, and most likely had attained a cape before this. You are blundering through the process, ignoring advice, and assuming that because you made it almost a fifth of the way through the waves BEFORE Jad that you will have no problem making it the rest of the way. It gets harder. Lulz at the joke, though.

Mystic robes are good, although if they're too expensive you can always sport the old school regular mage robes or druid robes. I'd recommend that if you're going to do combat, pick up the chaos gauntlets from Family crest and use some bolt spells instead of waves, they'll be much cheaper. I'd kill something quite a few levels lower than you. Caged ogres are good if you don't want to be hit ever, or consider giants for the big bone drops. Fire giants in the waterfall cave, possibly?

Thanks for proving yourself wrong in your very own defense. It's "dying", not "dieing." What do you mean, you can't get out of without dying? I have no idea what you're talking about, unless it's a mangled metaphor for the fact that everyone is beginning to take offence at your posts. And by the way, when you type "I" it helps to push the shift key so it doesn't come out as "i". And while thread jacking is not illegal, it's not so nice to divert answers from the original poster to your question when you could make your own topic. @ the OP: I would still recommend that you use the gloves, they do speed up training. Since you need the hunter level just to wear them, go have a dozen or so made, then just switch to the next pair once they break. That's my strategy, and I've noticed a marked improvement in gaining thieving levels. Oh, and to finish this sentence, I'm going to end it with a PERIOD.

FOG robes can be bought in a degraded state from the GE. You have to take them to FOG and provide tokens for their repairs. I honestly wouldn't bother with them. I wouldn't even bother with the combat, to be honest. I'd superheat ore (profit, plus smithing experience) or alch items that I make (fletch longbows, for example, and alch them, or smith and alch). It will be cheaper and faster than combat if you do it right.

Here, let me try this YOU WILL FAIL. You've gotten at least twenty posts telling you that you CAN'T get it yet, and telling you WHAT stats to improve. And you scoff at all of these experienced posters, most of whom HAVE their firecapes already, and think that you can get it at 40 def? /joke. Oh, and you haven't got time to raise your defense (even though it's faster on members), but you have time to earn however much you're going to blow on this doomed venture? Illogical there, mate.

That seems remarkably fast to me as well. Generally it takes me about an hour of constant pickpocketing to get a pair even close to breaking. And @69pwneduross, seriously, please show some manners. You hijacked this thread (aka you didn't start it, you didn't answer any questions, you just jumped in rudely with your own questions), you don't use proper grammar, which is the LEAST you can do to spare my eyes, and you ask questions that could easily be discovered. And it's a forum, which means there's no need to rush to post, which means that you CAN take the time to use proper spelling and grammar. Right now it's reminiscent of a baby pounding happily away on a keyboard. I mean, come on. "Do they buy well?" Just go to the GE, put in a couple k on a pair, and see. Don't make us waste our time answering questions you should be finding yourself.

You don't sell them, you use them till they wear out. They sell all right, if you want to sell them, but not that great.

The blast furnace is nice because it only takes half the coal to make bars. There's also a shopkeeper who will un-note your ores for you. This means that if you bring lots of money, ores and coal noted, and a morphic hammer and make mithril bolts, you can produce a large number while still profiting (saving on coal too!).

Members? Hobgoblin mine in the wildy has tons of spawns of mithril, if you don't mind venturing up there to get it. If you're members, you can bring a teletab to get back faster.

Please, couldn't you look this up? It sells in the GE for ~70 gp each, but that's all I'm telling you!

Yes they are.

Sadly enough, 1 mil isn't even that much in members. A whip, pretty much the best overall weapon once you get 70 attack, will cost you 1.5 mil or so by itself. Although it is much faster earning money in members, so don't feel like you must earn it all before switching over to p2p.

You can only get another cat once your original is "overgrown." I know, I had this problem too. Shooing it away works, though, although I would have traded it for the 100 death runes in West Ardougne.

Top potion at your level = fast. Cheap, you ask? That would be lower leveled herbs. For getting from 30s-upward, I would say that the best way to do it is to GROW harralander (seeds are dirt cheap, that's why) for energy potions, because chocolate bars are also very easy to get ahold of. While the harralander is growing, kill chaos druids for herb drops. Don't be hesitant to pick up the lower leveled herbs - tarromin should be turned into Serum 207 (second = ashes!), guam can be turned into cheap attack potions if you buy from Port Sarim shop, and marrentil? Well, I just make it into tar because unicorn horns are slow to gather. This is the best overall balance between cash and efficiency.

. . . because people don't understand the concept of time. When you see someone with some nice armor or weapons ("phat lewt"), most people think that they got this due to only one or two events, not from grinding for days/weeks/months/possibly years. Godsword? People assume that you did ONE THING to get 36 mil to buy it, not that you worked for weeks to earn that money. Even with skill capes, people just don't think of time as an investment. They see that you have the cape NOW and their character doesn't, and so they assume you're lucky. Not that you worked much harder for it, just that you got luckier and somehow gained levels far faster and cheaper and more easily than they did. Also, "lucky" is starting to become a generic compliment for some reason. Don't ask me why (because I don't know).

I like Angelina sporting the blue p'hat. Very classy.

Make it all the way through the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian village. You also get 10k!

Confirmed in a thread in the general forum: Dagon'hai monks drop dagon'hai robes. Now that it's been said, doesn't that seem somewhat obvious?

Ohhh someone else remembers the slayer thread Ray made... As for going back on topic, the best advice I can give you is play for fun and just don"t spend brainlessly on the G.E. The cash will keep growing and you"ll find yourself one day with a bank worth 300 mil like me. I make most of my money through slayer, farming and clueing. But that"s what I like best about this game. You get to choose. Haha, I remember that thread too. Participated, too, I believe. And I agree with ^^, I've gotten 1.7 mil over the last few days simply because whenever I have more than 5k/10k, I deposit that amount into my bank, save for a couple thousand to keep going. I don't look at the amount, and when I do check it (I put it in a tab so I don't always see it) I am almost always pleasantly surprised by how much is there. The problem with most of the suggested methods are that they are boring. And yes, they are. This is why they make so much money - because not too many people are willing to do them. The more fun methods are usually less profitable, but just go out, enjoy yourself, skill and raise levels, and keep on dumping in money bit by bit. You'll appreciate it a lot more looking back than if you spent 150 hours straight tanning hides or buying harpoons.

Wow. Nice catch by Jagex, but it makes me concerned if they're monitoring everything I say . . . they might find out about the upcoming invasion from Mars I've been plotting too. Oh, wait, I see that the post was made in the forum. First off, who goes and brags about how they're going to shoot up a school on the Runescape forum? Honestly? Secondly, the Mars invasion plans are safe. The invasion will continue.

Perhaps there won't be an actual cape for Achievement Diaries, but there will be a trim applied to the quest cape? This way, it does have an effect, but there isn't another cape, when you've already gotten all the items received as rewards for completing the diaries. On a side note, when I clicked on this topic I was actually hoping for a Dairy cape. I knew that there probably wasn't much of a chance of seeing my dream of a dairy cape coming true, but I was hoping that Jagex had finally caved to my thousands of badly typed emails and put in a skill, complete with cape, merely for the pure pleasure of milking cows. No one understands just how fulfilling it can be to grab an angrily protesting cow and milk it until your bucket overflows with milk. Seriously. I want a dairy cape. I would immediately go out and get 200 million experience in cow milking, just to claim the honor of being the first. If the skill is retroactive, I've got it already, of course. I'm a pro at this. By the way, the cape would be white with a black trim, and a picture of a cow on the back. The emote not only allows you to revert to cow form, it also lets you fire off blasts of magic milk and cheese arrows at your opponents. The milk heals your allies, of course, given milk's deliciousness. The cheese arrows have a good chance of lowering your opponent's defense and agility, because who can focus on fighting when there's a large lode of lovely muenster or jarlesburg cheese lodged in their nostril? Nothing makes me feel happier than logging on and seeing an inventory full of milk and cheese. Oh, ecstasy.

I thought that they were just taking out COMBAT experience, and that skillers had been complaining previously because there was no non-combat skill experience in the game. If they switch those two, maybe it would work better?
