Few EoC questions
Tribrid isn't so useful IMO, not like you need much different styles anyway. In general I'd say: Blood neck is always good. Either hex + sag top or ccs + cele top or prim 2h weapon + prim plate Add either hood, legs of your attack style or another weapon.
-
CCB or Maul?
I'd go with maul as both the most powerful 2h melee weapon and the most powerful crush weapon.
-
dual wield
It's out in most of the game, but there is no date set for dungeoneering dual wielding that I know of. I could be very wrong of course.

Earning money these days
Seeds are way down too, you can still make ~200k/run easily, up to 300k with higher tier greenfingers etc.. But it's definitely unstable.

EoC - Korasi + EEE or Z spear
There's a possibility that dual cls/cls + eee is not as good as vine whip + eee, so I'd get those last until that gets cleared up. Maul is the only tier 80 crush weapon so definitely get that. Dual crossbows has a great ult which hits for 35% of your opponent's lp three times iirc.

Q
That's... interesting lol. Also goes to show Jagex doesn't even understand their own coding -.-. @Jeremy: thanks :). @Squab: Yep, I went ghouls yesterday with barrage/cannon/titan and it seems Momentum is best because otherwise you'll never get around to titan management.

Forging royal crossbow
Yes. Tort. Rocktail. No idea, I'd bring some pots just in case. No idea. Use abilities for sure, not just defensive ones. There's a lot of damage to be gained from using attacking abilities. You could/should use dual wield (there's a rather good ultimate for double crossbows), keeping the shield for healing only. No idea. None yet I think?
-
ABS worthwhile?
It's probably a cheaper substitute for chaotic staff, which may be too expensive (degrade-wise) for some things. But since abilities don't even use runes, rune cost is very nearly irrelevant.

Optimal use of action bar
For magic, use the following: Combustion (damage over time), Impact (stuns) and Wrack (lowest cooldown, deals more damage to stunned targets). If you're going to be fighting close-up, add Dragon Breath. If you don't mind drawing aggro, add Chain. Both Chain and Dragon Breath are multi-target abilities (but DB doesn't have much of a range). Treshold-wise, Wild Magic and Asphyxiate are both good. Ultimate-wise, use Omnipower or Metamorphosis. Meta form deals more damage in total, Omnipower is just one big hit. Tsunami is multi-target, perhaps nice for tightly-packed opponents but it has a 3x3 target area right in front of you only.

Q
Q is real enough to get 99 woodcutting :P clicky. (also ban for denying half the moderating team exists) Edit: Got imp champion scroll :D. Yay for random hide hunting. The imp champion still has the "no specials" rule, 400 hp.

20-Nov-2012 - Evolution of Combat: Now Live!
There's still a glitch with dropping items with hotkeys. Both fletched bows and superheated gold bars aren't recognized as droppable after a chat action, but another chat action fixes the problem. I reported it two weeks ago as well (with the bows anyway, not the gold). Dropping items by keeping a key pressed will very quickly fill your chatbox with messages when you try to drop items you don't have. You can't use f keys while chatting. Opening an interface which mimizes the action bar defaults to chat, which is very annoying when you're trying to use f keys as well, because you have to press enter twice to get back to abilities/f keys etc. The full inventory message while mining also prevents ability use, whereas the full inventory message for woodcutting doesn't. It isn't possible to select the secondary option of an item (e.g. drop instead of light) to be keyed to a hotkey. Overall, a lot of fixes are needed.

eoc quick question
It doesn't really matter. Theoretically, get the one which most monsters you will be killing are weak to.
-
Void Armour
It was +10% (and +10%, round down, +10% for ranged), but I don't know the answer to your question :(.

Haven't played for 12+ months
That pure will be Level 102 combat post-EoC (which actually is... now!). It will also be 102 combat if you get 99 attack, ranged, magic, summoning, hp and prayer. So get to work :P. SoF is a combo of microtransactions and gambling. You can get a lot of xp/hr from mass spinning but it's quite expensive.

F2P Dungeoneering Rewards Post-EOC
Sighted bows were really unbalanced at some point in the Beta, massive damage output and defence (better than Zaryte at that point). They would still be good probably, especially in f2p where there's no competition from higher-tier bows. Gravite is still meh I think. At least the 2h's problem with low slash attack isn't there anymore (I hope). Tome of Frost is the only 1h rune saving item now. Sorta meh, but ok. Blast necklace is ok, not sure on the stats on power amulets, but every little bit helps. Adamant plates are much cheaper than Artisan's afaik, and SoE helps there.
- [Solved] F2P monsters weak to ranged (arrows)?
-
royal crossbow shoot only royal bolts?
I'm pretty sure that is no/yes.
-
Action Bar setup for melee
I think you should use just enough basics to have a full rotation at all times (that's probably 4 for melee, like Randox said, but for magic it might be 5-6), then the highest damage tresholds, just enough to use up your adrenaline. Ultimates may be worth it on very strong things or as AoE attacks but I'm not sure.
-
Any good guide to Nex?
Boost magic defence because the mages in the KC room bind (so do the rangers actually, and they disable protect prayer). Bring a BoB to carry the loot and bring some cheap fish or EE in case Nex gets a hit in.

Q
Small update: Bound primal plateskirt&longsword, celestial robetop&legs, ccs and flameburst. Ready for EoC I guess. Much thanks to everyone who hunted with/for me :). Also getting quite close to 99 agility, 99 woodcutting and 105 dungeoneering. I edited the official RSwiki combat basics page, because someone thought it was a good idea to start with "the first thing you have to know is what a combat level is and what you can do with it" which is not only untrue, but also rather blunt and unhelpful to the searching newb.
