I always thought the thing that made Rock Lobsters even remotely worth it for charms was the fact that you're killing 9 of them at once. Wouldn't Dharoking them take that advantage away...? I'd go back to Waterfiends if I were you! Unless you fancy Barraging :D

Range and cannon them in Taverly if you really want to get the task done... Will get the task done VERY Fast considering when you safe-spot them your cannon will hit plenty of other hounds as well :) Bit expensive, but considering how much faster the task gets done, I'd say it's worth it, although I blocked Hellhounds long ago :D

Well, I've had 88+ Summoning for quite a while, and used the skill as much as possible during my bash to 99 Slayer :P I have to say, for most tasks that I didn't use a combat beast, I used Bunyips. Yes, it's true that Unicorns heal a lot more per hour, and yes it's true that their healing is much more controllable and yes they do last longer... But, and I don't know if I'm the only nerd to have noticed this, but when I use Summoning Scrolls a decent amount, it slows down my weapon Special Attack Bar refilling rate. So if I can get away with only using Bunyips on a task, I will, purely so I can have more DDS Specials :D There are only three tasks I can think of off the top of my head that I chose Unicorns for over Bunyips. These are Skeletal Wyverns, Mithril Dragons and Waterfiends. I think the first two are obvious if you've ever tried them, and Waterfiends... I dunno, their hits are a bit too erratic for me to trust Bunyip's very stable, constant healing to. I hardly ever did Wyvern tasks before I got Unicorns, but now I always do them and I'm glad of it :D For other things besides Slayer... I don't really have an opinion, as I always use a Titan or a Yak for bosses and PvP :P

If they're a real-life partner and you are a 'genuine couple' it's fine. Even if you actually met online, and have gained each other's love and trust... Sure why not. But if you've got a girl-character in front of you doing some dodgy bending-over emote while you cheer, that's when it gets taken too far :P But a real-life girlfriend who just HAPPENS To also play RuneScape and you ask her to join you for RuneScape activities, that's fine :P

The only G.E ability I think the whole map needs (In my opinion) Is Set-Boxing. I'm not massively fussed if I can't put the items IN Boxes. But OH MY GOD! Is it annoying when I put an offer in to be left overnight for a set (Say, a Barrows set), go to a faraway place to have some fun with some friends, wake up the next day to find I've got a new Barrows set but have to trek back to the G.E Just to unpack it :( In short, make G.E Set-Boxes openable! Or at least openable by all bankers... Proselyte box-sets (The ones you buy off ol' Tiffy) Are openable by a simple click. Why not the rest?

Low cost doesnt equal efficiency :) This method gives 140K + Magic XP An hour (Yes, I have managed this and I wasn't even trying to get the fastest XP Possible :P) That is faster XP Than ice barraging (Again, yes I've tested) So I'd say String Amulet is indeed pretty efficient. The only downside is that unstrung jewellry isn't easy to get hold of in huge numbers :(

Good to know the scariest thing you lost is the keychain! You'll have to trek back to Shillo Village and speak to the antiques dealer. I think he charges a few K for it back and you'll have to re-add your keys :|

I play on my other Account just for a break. Being maxed melees is so boring. I can kill monsters all day long and I know I'll never have 99 strength to aim for, I'm never going to look forward to getting that last few XP in Slayer before I can kill Abyssal Demons. I also play that account in a totally different way to how I play my main. My main is strictly anti-PKer (I've made various posts and rants on the RuneScape forums in my time that many PKers took genuine offence to :P) Yet on my other account, I'm training it to PK successfully, something I never managed to do on my main. I also sometimes just randomly make new accounts purely for a bit of a challenge, like getting 60 strength without any attack levels, getting 40 defence without any offensive skill. But at the end of the day I always find myself logging back into Acou just so I can kill a few more Waterfiends to get me closer to my all-time goal of 99 Summoning :)

Errr... The stats in my sig have nothing to do with this post, thanks though :)

That's simply not true. D claws are far more accurate then AGS; AGS misses around 60% of the time on a tank, d claws less then 20. Well it seemed true for me, maybe I was just incredibly unlucky with my Claws and incredibly lucky with my AGS, but of course people will see a few YouTube videos of someone hitting 120 with a Dragon Claws special and assume it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I'd most probably ask a friend to be kind enough to lend me a rune axe for a few days, and chop some trees down. I'd use that money, to buy a Dragon Scimitar and a Rune set, and a few bunyip pouches, and head to Abyssal Demons and get some drops :) So I guess slowly recovering is what I'm trying to hint at here :P EDIT: Or I'd take it as a hint to quit my Main and concentrate on a noob for a while (Starting again :P)

Hey all :) I think my title speaks for itself, but I'll elaborate. Recently, I took members off my main for a while, I'm waiting until I get a new computer. In the meantime I've managed to recover the password of a long-lost account that is older than the main, and I've been playing on that in freeplay worlds, mostly because I didn't do any 'careful planning' such as leaving a bank-slot with things in it that I could collect during my time in freeplay (Such as logs and ores :P) So, I'm having a bit of fun with this account, and I sort of want to turn it into a PKer, as my main-stats have always been far too evened out to PK very well. It's too late to turn the noob into a 1-def hybrid (I did DragonSlayer :P) So I looked around, and found the two options for 'PKers with defence' seem to be either a ranger, or a Zerker. I've looked into it pretty intensely and I COULD Turn it into a fully-functioning Zerker-PKer and land on 45 defence nicely after the huge amount of questing. Now, the two are both very good choices of PvPer, from what I've picked up, and both seem like lots of fun to train. I'm an avid quester, and I'd absolutely love to do the boss of Recipe For Disaster again, which I believe is a must for a successful Zerker. However, I love to range just as much as I do melee, so the ranger is a good choice in that department. So what do you all think? Zerker or Ranger? What shall I do with my newly-discovered account? :) Thanks for any posts!

It entirely depends on your opponents. If you're mostly killing people with 1-45 defence and wearing nothing better than Rune, I'd get Claws. However, from the tests I've done (And I did quite alot of them) I have to say AGS Hits better than Claws vs. people with high defence and Barrows armour. So I guess if you're killing high level Dharok/Torag-wearers, get an AGS. If you're killing anyone else, get Claws. of course wait a while until they stop dropping though :) The fact that AGS Isn't normally considered a 'PJing' Weapon is a fair point aswell though. If you walk around wearing Dragon Claws everyone will pile you, thinking you're only there to PJ people. But if they're staying in your inventory until the crucial moment, then I guess that doesn't matter :)

I'm back after a few days' absence :) All great suggestions guys, thanks alot! I have to say, I'm REALLY Not interested in Wireless ones, unless they charge up easier than having to hunt down batteries :) And yeah, £1000 is a bit too much for a keyboard. Thanks for all replies though! EDIT: Doesn't the newegg website deliver to the UK? :| That's never good!

Well I trained all my melee skills with Slayer (At least for the biggest part of them :P) And I don't regret a second of it. To say that Slayer is 50k xp an hour is a bit unfair. And to say it's bad for ranged is also a bit unfair. To train Slayer efficiently (And to train your combats efficiently with Slayer) You're not supposed to 'choose to train with ranged' Or 'Choose to train strength for a bit' You're supposed to keep your Whip on controlled for the entire duration, and only range tasks that are... Well, good to range :P Black demons are an EASY 100K Ranged XP An hour if you choose to Range/Cannon them at Taverly. Fire giants aren't as fast but the same method in the Waterfall ensures fast XP In both Slayer and Ranged. If you use a Black Mask on Melee tasks (Which is the majority of them) You're going to get an easy 80k XP An hour. Again probably not quite as much (50k an hour is the absolute minimum) When your task is something like Iron Dragons. But even these aren't a particularly slow task with Piety. So I fail to see how Slayer is only 50k combat xp an hour, when even on the slowest tasks I ever do (Iron Dragons) I get AT LEAST 50k xp in my melees an hour. Yes I do Mith Dragons too but those tasks are short enough that I don't really mind the slow xp they give. If anything I see them as a fun diversion from Slayer when I get bored. So to say that 'Slayer Sucks' Just because you can get faster XP Somewhere else is nothing but pointless. I'd much rather have the variety of Slayer, and I really don't mind clicking much more often on a task. Camping at an aggressive monster with protect prayers on is quite simply too boring for me. I maxed my combat with Slayer and it didn't take THAT Long. And I got plenty of cash along the way. Plus Slayer got me to 96 Summoning, without any of the horrific boredom of camping Rock Lobsters and Waterfiends (Although I did do tasks of these, it's not as though I got them often :P) And I only really started Summoning when they released batch 2. I don't see any of your 'fast melee methods' Allowing me to gather so many charms without putting out millions of GP An hour.
