I'm guessing somewhere around 10k xp per dollar spent, at most, so at the least 600 dollars, probably 700-800. On the other hand, actually slaying for it probably costs 10-15m using cannon and maxed melee offence. Hunting effigies for it is by far the slowest (maybe 10k xp/hr) but you can profit, for example at ganodermics. About 2m/hr profit means that it's more efficient than powerslaying up to about 2.5m/hr.

DG updates make it less team-based. Sharing keys is the main difficulty in good teams, if you don't have to gt every minute it's so incredibly easy to path... takes all the fun out of it. The only reason to ever gt now is mimes, portals and ramos etc.. Stackable resources make it easier overall, which I don't think dg really needs but ok. Drop-x is nice. Sagas, runespan all look good. SoF is evil.

Trouble with SoF is that it's about irl efficiency ($/hr rather than gp/hr). The time calcs don't take that into account, and if they did you'd have to add play time etc. as well.

For thieving farmers, make sure you use gloves of silence and the best Ardougne cloak you have, they really help a lot. With those I've pickpocketed 100+ in a row without fail, without them maybe 20.

The best combat familiar at your level would be the karamthulu overlord without scrolls or the kyatt with scrolls. The kyatt is extremely expensive at over 1k per scroll.

For staking I believe 1 def is not the ideal build, iirc there were 70-40-70 Verac pures for melee staking specifically (don't pin me on that). You can mage box with blood barrage, but I believe SoA is better, and possibly Vengeance + Disrupt shield with spellbook swap (theoretically). Chaotic rapier/whip won't increase your dps all that much since you have polypore anyway, which is better dps than whip probably (at 99 magic with pot). So I would say the power gain from rapier isn't worth it. If you can, 92 summoning would help your magic dps in the wilderness. It also helps a lot getting the kiln cape (96 even more probably). Ranged is good dps but less than polypore, if your opponent is using grifolic or even ganodermic it's probably worth using and ranged has much more powerful KOs than magic of course.

That makes mage cheaper, faster, safer too? With gano top you have more mage def I bet. [hide=Bank] [/hide] Fresh bank picture, doesn't include POH/MTK and stuff. Edit: trying to fix size, sec. For some stupid reason Picasa will only link a resized version so there it is.

From the Latin 'aurum' of course. "Aurum! Digitus meus perpuli!" (Gold! I (have) struck my toe!) Doesn't work.

All citadel skilling is afk and decent xp (for afk). Mining is even the best xp in the game, crafting is slower but free, woodcutting is much like ivy.

Allowing multiple scrolls to be banked makes them more grindable, reduce overhead and therefore increase profit (from abysmal to tiny). It'd certainly help those DIYers and packrats, who do every clue straight away to avoid missing one, to plan their activities more. On the other hand the 'forced' completing of clues might be the fun bit, idk.

I had a pretty full inventory doing dark beasts, bloodveld, black demons and ice strykes (that's +9 prayer bonus before renewals/flasks), I'd definitely have used this if there were separate xp counters when I slayed. Always good to have these things written up :thumbup:. Other than saving space, I find it's easier to do some calculations than to check your slayer ring while managing your titan etc.

Being on Lunar Magics for ice plateau teleport and spellbook swap to Trollheim works nicely. You can use a regular magic potion to cast those.

Jagex recently added microtransactions, the way to go if you have lots of money to spend on RS. Major price changes: virtually everything went down a lot. Safespotting ranged is almost never worth it, it's much easier and faster to just tank, since healing has become much easier. Bunyip + EE + few pieces of food will sustain you for a very long time, and there's always protect prayers. That is, I don't think there's an up-to-date safespotting guide.

Au is the Dutch equivalent of ouch.

Congratulations on Nomad and Vanstrom :). How many xp bubbles do you get when you deposit all 15 strange rock pairs?

I knew it, but you said I was getting kills! Well to be fair, I didn't get the kills I tanked on for sure, used 4 brews on one kill. But when I started using titan properly and not tanking it worked out, more or less. Still very low accuracy though, not worth the cost. The minions were fairly fast. @Arcanists: Not going to bother with that. I might play some Warband (good multiplayer mounted combat, no fantasy elements at all) and random mmorpg trials. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX_d_vMKswE How Jagex ruins the game. I really think Jagex should have moved away from weekly updates and into the big patches à la WoW. That way they'd be able to integrate a long-term vision into each update. Pretty much every single update lately was an add-on that never really hit any core aspect of the game. Things like Artisan's, Livid Farm, Herblore Habitat, the Pit, Polypore Dungeon... all random pieces of the game. Undo the release of any of them and you lose very little overall. Even dungeoneering is kind of a loose end, it could exist on its own even, nothing lost. How long since we got a new patch of actual world map? I think it's Branches of Darkmeyer, adding a piece of empty forest (a rarity nowadays) and a new city with no real facilities. No worthwhile locations have been added, just new uses of existing map parts, dungeons, instance shard worlds, demiplanes, instanced dungeons etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX_d_vMKswE First the removal of f2p hiscores, then the effigy nerf, the release of Early Bird specials as added insult ('add something positive'), then the release of SoF, then buyable spins.

About that much (view with white background).

Blood barrage vs. SoA is either 145 damage + 36.25 healing or straight-up 190 damage. Of course with spellbook swap you can alternate :P. I don't know whether you can swap quickly enough to cast at full speed, if you can, it's the best mage boxing method. Try it out ;).

85 farming - torstol (requires lots of other stuff too) 90+ hunter - grenwall 85+ dungeoneering - frost dragons 96+ summoning - pack yak at dragons Those are the ones better than your current method. If you make 500k/hr at blues you should probably use a more offensive method, such as praying piety and using super potions.

I refer to the Tip.It guide, imo it's quite good. Polypore setups with ganodermic have very high magic and melee defence so if you accidentally get a second demon on you you can tank them for a while, especially with a unicorn.

The damage distribution for those weapons isn't uniform so it's a massive pain to actually test max hits, but iirc I hit over 980 at least once with a maxed polearm.

Mage boxing means boxing (e.g. no equipment) with only magic enabled (no melee/ranged). So unless you found a way to cast combat spells on Lunars without the use of a polypore staff or borrowed power necklace, disrupt shield isn't going to help here (spellbook swap could be an option, though I'm not confident you can switch that fast).

If you have range/melee helmets, top, legs and deflector you can use the set to achieve maximum melee/ranged dps which helps when training melee and ranged off-task.

Well I'm not quitting Tif, and not quitting H&A for sure :). But RS has been annoying me since the effigy nerf so it's time to take a break and see how that goes. Also did some Zamorak GWD with Latin tanking (e.g. full torva + divine), using SoA. Was getting a bit more kills but that might have been due to my titan (probably was). It really hits well on K'ril, and K'ril hits pretty badly on gano + arcane + fsh + virtus skirt.
