Alright, a couple of questions then. How much money does it cost to unnote? (ea ore, that way i can calculate how much to buy each run) Do i need to feather the bolts? Is there another way that loses around 1-10 gold ea smith/smelt? And i was wondering about superheating, do you gain normal exp per spell? If so it seems way better than blast furnace...

Wow, i didn't know somebody else knew about that. I didn't know the xp amounts, but i knew they were huge. But 800k and hour? Jeez... I wonder if that's how the top combaters get their xp...

Blast furnace? Doesn't sound very lucrative, but i'll look into it. Any other ideas?

With slayer, using the shilo village master, i believe people have made over 120k xp an hour. Mind you, they had access to all forms of transportation and planned out routes to each monster, however with planning you can get some fast xp. Other than that, zombies are your best choice.

This is a long term goal, 85 smithing. I'll be doing this off and on, however, i would like something that doesn't bleed money(only have 1 mil...) and isn't as long as cannonballs. Basically what i want is something that breaks even or better and that isn't cannonballs. I just made 4k of them, and that took quite a while for little results. I know that gold with the gauntlets is fast, but you lose about 300gp per bar, i don't have that kind of money. Any alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

Emerald bracelets still break even i believe, if you can find a buyer on the G.E. For some reason there is no demand yet the price is still decent.

You should NOT range them. They are extremely resistent to range. Magic works incredibly well though, any spell works, though you most likely only want to use bolts with the family gauntlets.

I need to cut 1387 yews to fletch for alching to get 63 mage. (wow, that is a mouthful). I was wondering where a good place and world was to cut yews. I'm doing world 2 seer's village, but it doesn't seem very good right now. Any advice?

Alright, thanks. I'll calculate what i need to 63 mage. Hopefully it will let me start. Thanks for the help.

Ankous and Basilisks are common choices, they are pretty efficient and have some good rare and common drops. Though not the best choices, the upside is that you don't need much food and don't need any pots. More time fighting = more xp. However, there are much better choices that I am unaware of. So try to get some more replies before you act.

I am currently pursuing the requirements for Swan Song. I just finished Garden of Tranquility(oh my freaking god! that was terrible... :x ) I now need 66 magic. I calculated that i would need either 4k teles, or 3.3k alchs. I simply can not afford 4k teles, and if I were to alch, i would only alch for profit. That being the case, I don't want to cut 3k yews just for 66 magic. 63 Magic is doable for me, and i saw that the only reason swan song requires 66 magic is to get into the mage's guild. My question is this. Can I use a wizard's mind bomb at 63 magic to complete swan song? Will 63 magic be accepted at the start of the quest? And will a wizard's mind bomb get me into the mage's guild?

I believe the correct way to punctuate the end of a sentence includes one period, not a elipses. Also, the discriminations against fletching capes and the like are caused by the simplicity of the cape, not because you can buy it. Construction can only be bought, there is no other way, and yet one is not scoffed at for wearing said cape. Look at runecrafting, possibly one of the most respected capes. That cape is bought almost always, i doubt any of the people with 99s in that skill mined all that essence. Please, think out your response before you write such a lengthy one as that.

I don't know. I got a sara page 3 from a clue today, don't know why it took so long to sell.

Acutally, i'm a little confused right now. I have never seen the barrows area, so i will probably forumulate a strategy when i get there. I just needed help with the prep. Now that i have that, that's really all i needed to know. Thanks a bunch for the help.

The general strategy with sidestepping is kill the melee bros as fast as possible right? Karil and Ahrim don't require moving of course, just constant prayer.

I'm planning on safespotting. Would proselyte(sp?) be good then? Prayer bonus and the mage negs aren't as bad as rune.

GS... means godsword? I am so confused. Just don't listen to me then.

I find Karil's mage defense to be significantly higher than the melee brothers, even at 95 mage. I kill him faster with ranged. Your best bet is to wear the best melee defense armor you can. The melee brothers have such low magic defense that you can mage them even in full rune/barrows quite easily. Even at 60 mage slayer darting? That would cut my expenses quite a bit, but i find that hard to believe. I don't have mage gear currently so that is a relief if it proves true.

nats=44 rc? i never liked runecrafting anyway. i have done dragonhide tanning in enormous amounts at a time, buying up 10mil worth of hides and tanning the hell out of it and making enormous profits. a lot of other things went down like ALL of the gs's what were the major updates i missed? what is the best armor/weapon? from what i knew back then, gs's were the top weapon and the gs armor was the top armor (maybe torags topped bandos). Oops, sorry, i thought it said 43... :oops: The best weapons now are godswords, while armor hasn't really changed. Godswords can come in at around 30mil a piece, depending on which one you get. Unfortunately, your combat stats would require a lot of effort and money, i don't think you could tackle getting godswords at your level. If you don't like runecrafting, then you probably want to go back to tanning dragonhides, though you should start off acquireing the hides yourself. 3k profit> 1k profit.

All right, thanks for the advice. This sounds like a plan. One last question, what should my gear be for mage? I know that red d'hide and a ranger helm should be sufficient for range, but i don't have much experience with magic armor.

Well, if you had about a mil or so, you could buy dragonhides and tan for big profit. If you had less, 50k or less could get you started on buying harpoons and selling them for profit, don't sell as much as dragonhides, but you don't need as much money. You are also only one runecrafting level away from making nats. I believe at that level you can make 200-300k an hour, don't quote me on this though.

Alright, i was already planning on getting range up, i have 2k iron knives, and 3.3k bolts banked. What should be my target level, and what should i train on?

But Karil and Ahrim will just hit me through the safespot right? So should i bring some prayer pots and super attack and strength? I figure if i'm bringing prayer pots i wouldn't need a full super set.

So basically, with my stats, i want to avoid Karil and only fight Ahrim when necessary? Or should i get higher prayer and bring prayer pots as well? I am going to be getting my melee stats up when i am training slayer, I use controlled with a whip. I don't want to tank the melee brothers, I have heard that there were safespots i could use.

Wow, you are asking a lot. I would suggest green dragons, however, you already mentioned dragons. I've heard black demons are good, but low defense needs prayer pots. Slayer monsters are a good choice, i don't know any specifics, however generally just doing what the best slayer master you have tells you to do is a good choice.
