It should be noted that Sonic did not say that you have to live by the Word of God, just that it's there ;).

Moved to Help&Advice.

Red salamanders from the point you unlock them to level 70 or slightly beyond, then common jadinkos. Grey chins before that? I recommend getting another summoning level for an arctic bear. It invisibly boosts your hunter level by 7 which really boosts your catch rate.

You can use a fire cape or Ardougne cloak 3 at most places and do pretty well without a Soul Wars cape, but it will mean shorter trips. This is important in team GWD, DKS and to a degree frosts/tds. But on tds you can use a fire cape very well, just do 1 overload trips with a steel titan and get 1 kill per minute*. Chaotic rapier is no doubt worth getting. *Results may vary :P.

Serum 207 locks a bank space with useless potions. Unlike extremes, which also need to be dropped 28 at the time (unnoteable) but are actually useful. I would not recommend making serums for this reason alone.

Apart from the crossed-out bits, some things: don't make quite that many runes, don't bother with food below bouldabass or maybe websnippers if you are desparate, don't pick up armour more than 1 tier below what you can wear, pick up ranged and melee tops and legs but only melee boots/gloves/helmets but only if you can wear them (don't sell/alch). Don't forget to pick up herbs for skill doors and melee pots.

I agree that it would be wise to have some space to buy stuff with, even if it's only basic supplies, cannonballs etc. Which is to say, don't sell your bank for herblore now. If you had ~45m bank value it'd be clear, any lower is bad imo.

Err.... firstly, no, Aiel is right. Obviously a bit of bonus helps, but that doesn't mean you will note a significant decrease in kill speed without a fsh. Secondly, why does it matter that dusties are that slow a task?

Ease of use/reliabilty is a concern for all but the most rythmic bosshunters. What you do is keep protect melee on. Right before your hit animation starts you click ss, then prot melee right after. You will have soul split up for 1 tick and that 1 tick is on your hit, so you will heal. Of course the one tick you have ss up should NOT be the tick Graardor hits on. But I think that is obvious.

Nechs are good, but less effigies than black demons, and ranged is going to max before 99 agility anyway, so yeah. Summoning potions are less worth it than they were due to the prices, but you can still use them and profit a little more.

If you are going to spend money on recharging it, you might as well use a better dps weapon (kxbow).

Don't use a chaotic crossbow & get a deflector if you care to. It's a good investment.

No, you can't get a pair anymore.

I would go for making unfinished potions (requires a herblore level & a scroll of cleansing) which is 1.5-2m/hr depending on prices. All magic damage boosts stack (hexcrest, staves, necklaces, chaos gloves, boosted magic levels, fire cape on ice strykes, ferocious ring etc.). Green dragons are faster. This is incidentally a good way to make money. Zombie impling jars are fast and expensive xp, count on 700-800k xp/hr (including buying and opening) and 15-20 gp/xp and more. Oak larders are the best until you can do oak dungeon doors. Yes. Barbarian fly fishing will get you a tiny amount of strength xp & agility xp as a bonus. It's also the fastest fishing xp. Granite dropping is faster, use mining urns and a familiar. Juju mining potions will bank stuff for you if you have to. Air battlestaves are good xp, other staves are good also. Blackjacking is faster, monkey knife fighters at higher levels. PP is still ok though. Abyssing is very slow and I wouldn't recommend it. Steam runes are good, ZMI is easy. Defence is still best trained through melee I think, even at low melee stats. Rangers are neccesary for killing Kree'arra (decent/bad money depending how you look at it). You need some levels to do Nomad's Requiem and some other stuff. Good luck :).

You have a strange take on efficiency... people like being efficient within the game, obviously, we don't discuss irl efficiency here (which incidentally includes killing the elderly, which is a BAD idea). Since the game is a simple mathematical system, you can figure out what is best. Where best is defined as fastest. Efficiency in Monopoly has nothing to do with speed. As there is no way for your competition to pass you if you do not take an action. Efficiency in Monopoly probably has something to do with opportunity cost however.

Well if you are meleeing I suggest the melee helmet. But if you were ranging, consider the mage helmet. Right?

If you were also able to use tears of Guthix and penguin points, it shouldn't take more than a few weeks to get up to level 60ish. To be able to use tears to level 60 you of course need to get all your other stats 60+, but that can't hurt :P.

Not attention, also money is a bit useless to a point (hence people use expensive methods).

Oh, have I been doing the math wrong? I just assumed because I saved 1.5% of bars that it reduced the gp/exp by that much. But if that's not the case then I'm always glad to save even more GP :thumbsup: It took me 34476 bars to make 7000 platebodies, if that helps any. Well it should have taken 35k obviously, meaning you saved 524 bars @ 2250 each. That's 1179000 gp saved on 2187500 xp, or about half a gp per xp less.

The best gear for demons is void, defender or deflector. I honestly don't know whether +6 strength is worth the +13 stab/+12 slash loss, with cannon accuracy & the lack or not lack of the void set effect on claw specs also counting in. I just use my defender (and I have a deflector).

Primal gaunts, blood neck and hex would be more useful. Primal boots too, primal rapier, celestial staff too.

Black demons are not as crowded as they were just after the ashes update, but you can expect 1-2 noobs/newbs per world. Ask them to take the south spot behind the large pillar and you should be fine. Crawlers would be better at higher incomes, but you're talking pro Nex incomes here.

I think there are both groups who seek to minimize the amount of in-game time spent on a goal, and groups who seek to minimize the player effort spent on a goal. I'm closer to the latter. For example, barbarian fishing is undoubtedly faster experience than monkfish. However, since it requires constant attention, I prefer monkfishing which can be done at the same time as other things like reading, watching TV, etc. Barbarian fishing is more efficient in all Runescape numerical calculation senses of the term, but monkfishing could be considered more efficient in terms of experience gained per unit of attention. I tried monkfish but I ended up paying attention to them, so I can do barbarian fishing just as well, and the feeling of getting faster xp is nice :). But it is interesting to see how dxp/dhr efficiency and xp/day efficiency compare. What I mean is that if you can get 100k xp/hr but you hate the method so you only do 10 minutes of it and then log off, it's not really useful. So a 50k xp/hr method you can do for one hour a day would be more efficient in a certain sense. Trouble is of course that it's (nearly) impossible to actually take that into account in efficiency ratios. Also, it's debatable whether you should take irl time or in-game time for efficiency (as is an issue with farming).

Well yeah, naturally you'll find torstol to be a loss if you don't use juju. Anyway, farming torstol to 99 is the most efficient way to train farming I think. Unless you want to max total as soon as possible and you can finish up all other skills before you get farming that way. Or if you don't need any of the few hundred million gp farming can provide.

pure got it. You can gather charms & effigies through ranged, using effigies on agility. Black demons would be good for this, either melee + cannon or ranged safespot, both in Taverly. 1m ranged xp = ~20 hrs of black demons (melee + cannon) = ~12 effigies and ~2400 crimson charms. 2400 crims is about 1m xp, 12 effigies is 11250 xp in agility and summoning each + lamps @ 45k xp each or so. Which is 135k xp in agility and summoning + 540k agility xp in lamps. You then need about half a million more agility xp and 800k or so summoning xp, so I guess you can just continue the effigy approach and get some more ranged xp beyond 99.
