Jad maxes at 920 with melee (monster examine iirc), I believe his range and/or mage attacks have been said to hit 990 and up. Anyway, moving on... Higher max hits should be coming to counter the ganodermic tank method people now use instead of prayer switching if you want to keep whatever reward it is exclusive. Jad has like 1% chance of 1-hitting someone without soak from 990 health at best, if his max were 1200 that'd be 20%ish (ignoring accuracy) so that's a world of difference :D.
- Conquest!

Xp Pop Up Icons
The xp meter has told me I was THAT CLOSE to a level and I was 200k xp off or more -.-.

Prayer training
Comparing regular teleports to tabs, he's assuming you are not paying for air runes if you use teleports (and not using the inventory space). You can also use tome of frost + air staff + laws in inventory which beats tabs I believe (not worth the 40k tokens but still). :wall: Right, that's MA teleport. Also, it's a gilded altar, covered in gold leaf. Guilded would be covered in clanmates.

What aura should I get with 23k points?
Since you can get up to 3000 hits per hour (theoretically, with darts on rapid + claw specs to make up for lost ticks), you would restore up to 1500% special per hour, 750% if using rapier. Your base restore is 1200% per hour. Claws are under .5% overall dps boost when slaying with rapier/cannon iirc (let alone titan), so inspiration would be roughly on par with, say, steadfast boots over dragon or something.

Q
I used to do bodies pre-bot nuke, then switched to bracelets as the gp/xp on hides went up to 20-30, now I just do sc with bodies. I quite like non-combat sc and the xp is nice.

Fight Caves on slayer task
Depending on your magic level, Storm scales much more steeply. At 99 magic + overload, Storm of Armadyl has an equivalent max of 450, polypore staff only 350, and SoA is 25% faster and has a +15% magic damage staff instead of +13%, so a good 50-60% higher dps overall.

Q
I'm not going to have the money to do battlestaves comfortably any time soon regrettably, you'd better keep looking for buyers. Went corp a bit: FFA splitting sigils (and elixer, hence 200k gp), got to keep these drops myself though. No sigils/effigies, but 13 blues, 13 crims, 26 golds iirc. This is about 3 ovls worth. Most kills went to Eidos and me (goliath gloves and war-chief I think, he had steadfast as well). If you find enough people without imbued/goliath/steads to ffa with you, this could be nice gp/hr even splitting sigils, not sure on effigies.

Fight Caves - Magic
45 defence is enough to use infinity and third-age, those are best.

Fight Caves on slayer task
Fastest way requires Ritual of the Mahjarrat, using Storm of Armadyl with an Armadyl battlestaff and otherwise the highest magic attack bonus you can get (arcane stream necklace and full slayer helmet of course). 30-35 minutes depending on how fast you can do Jad.

SOA vs Polypore
Well, polypore maxes at 5*level - 180, which is 300 for you (excluding potions/gear). With an arcane stream necklace you'll get +28% damage. Storm of Armadyl will hit 95 - 255 at your level, an equivalent max hit of 350. With an arcane stream necklace you'll get +30% damage and save 15% of the runes you use, or you'll get +35% damage. For each magic level you get from potions/Vecna's/wolpertinger, your base max with polypore will go up by 5 and your equivalent base max with Storm will go up by 10.

Barrows
Killing 7 monsters only takes time... it's not very profitable at all. Ice barrage deals less damage than polypore staff and costs more than 2 doses of pray pot as well.

maging for firecape
PPS is good, Vecna's skull needs to be used along with magic potions or it won't do much. Strategy is pray mystic might on 360s/Jad, protect range on 90s, protect mage on 360s, protect range on Jad (pray switch if possible).

New Skill?
Dungeoneering already has that problem, can't imagine how bad it'd be for another skill :P. But I see space for an intellectual skill dealing with books, knowledge, trading perhaps as well and that sort of thing. It's just hard to imagine how to train that.

Best 99 in the game, congratulations :thumbsup: :thumbsup: .

Barrows
Probably whip Karil/Ahrim and polypore the others. Pray piety while meleeing. Wear something with high melee offence, void preferred. Protect pray on Karil and Dharok at least.

As far as I know, yes.

Black Ibis gear
I think getting the full set training thieving ~81-99 is fairly lucky. The items are so rare there aren't really any accepted rates for them afailk. But the accepted unit is millions of xp.

Three hours is a bit exaggerated, the caves are an hour max, get a slayer task and Storm of Armadyl and it's under 40 minutes (even without ovl/turm/virtus).

Sounds good :).

chining or bursting?
Well if you wouldn't care for hp xp as much you could cannon + range black demons. You have 99 firemaking, so with void + hand cannon + eagle eye you can get a high kill rate and good xp rate, along with 100+ crims per hour and fairly good effigies.
-
Artisans Workshop
For the highest xp rate you need to keep up with the dwarf instructor's assignments, so you need to click every minute or so.
-
chining or bursting?
Rock lobsters have very high ranged defence, barraging is much better hp xp and charms. Nechryaels offer nice crimsons and ranged xp with chins.

Ranged 70-80?
Not easily, you can do so with a bit of luck though. I'd recommend pray switching over ganodermic any day :P. For 70-80 range, chins are the fastest. For the fight caves, ranged is the slowest ;).
