Battle robes/bursting question
Well it can't hurt to use up your tokens and if you already have a tome... But yes, the tome of frost is worth like 1m gp over the course of 99 summoning & battle robes are inefficient for bursting at least. For barraging they are kinda worth it if you don't have an iron titan. Though I'd still say black demons > rock lobsters for you as you get effigy xp& opportunity to finish 99 strength & ranged xp.

Superantifires at the KQ and a rapier+defender switch - I'm not impressed.

Fire Cape
Full torva/bandos+neit, rapier, defender, fury, barrows gloves, sw cape, d boots, fsh if on task. 3 ovl, 10? super prayer, claws, rest special recovers. Well that's the fastest way anyway :P.

Smithing !!
You can probably get it and make money, cannonballs for example, it'll just be very slow and painful and inefficient. If you need magic xp superheat or if you don't need magic xp superheat-smelt gold.

Congratulations :thumbsup:.

Tormented Demons - Steet Titan method.
Well I'd say, first try to last 1 overload, using elite void/handcannon/cmaul/fire cape etc, maxed melee and ranged offence. Trips will be very short and very intense.

73-75 fishing?
Fly fishing at Shilo Village (banking) or near Rasolo (selling). Barbarian fishing is still *much* better due to the agility xp, and I highly, highly recommend you check it out (fish 1, r-click it, when you fish another, immediately drop and re-click the spot, repeat).

53-66 Thieving, 57-65 Smithing
For smithing I would recommend superheating gold ore (unless you are 99 magic I guess). It's fast, probably 2-3 hours for all the xp you need and it will give you a good chunk of magic xp as well. It costs about as much as the iron platebodies, maybe less. For thieving you can do pyramid plunder which isn't the fastest way, but it's relaxed. Blackjacking is the best.

Bit advice on fight caves
That's an excellent setup, one thing though: buy a good ring. As for your inventory, try 4 brew 4 restore 13 prayer potions 2 super attack 2 super strength ee (using deflecting). Don't forget to unequip your bcp, too. You cannot tank the 360's, but you can kite them. The idea is that once a 360 has decided to use a magic attack, it can't use a melee attack for 2.4 seconds. So you stand out of melee range, praying protect magic, until you see the tail move. Then you quickly move in (have the attack option selected in the right-click menu) and move away. It's pretty easy to melee them at full speed and take no damage at the same time :thumbup:.

95 Prayer
I farmed for turmoil, snapdragons at the time. 70-85 farming should about pay for it along with the dailies you can do during that time :P.

Complete Slayer Guide
70k melee xp.... is slower than... waterfiends... aargh. Why would you teleport to an altar when you are cannoning? Might as well spend the money on pray pots and leave out the cannon, will be much faster. In the end torts only have two spawns. Depending on the monster you need 3-10 spawns to keep you buys (sometimes even more). Torts also have no drops.

Point-counterpoint: Inferno Adze
It's easy for the fire to jump to the tree :ohnoes:.

Desert Strykeworms
^You wouldn't be maximising your kills/hr if you suicide like that :shame:. In my opinion the small chance to get an elite clue drop is not worth the extremely low xp, effigies and charms these offer. I would recommend blocking them. If you need the points, use a cannon.

Zamorak Tanking
Replace the ROW with a useful ring if you are using lootshare or coinshare, that's for one. Secondly I would be very happy if you tried an Armadyl + spectral setup using ranged, rune/chaotic crossbow with rune or diamond bolts. I want some info on K'ril's ranged defence. Thirdly the larger the team, the less damage comes from the tank, the more you should focus on defence, and the more you should use Armadyl + spectral. In short, try Arma + spectral. If you want accuracy you can try an Ardougne cloak perhaps.

Tormented Demons - Tactics, Strategies, and other general advice
Hand cannons cost more, for sure, even at 99 firemaking. The north spot is best iirc, you can lure 3 demons at the time there.

Conquest
Well your reasoning is in part correct - you will probably stick to a fun method more - but the reason to do Pest Control over Conquest, even if you enjoy Conquest somewhat more, is that you don't have to stick at it for as long. I would also be very careful with making general statements based on your personal preference. For example some people hate click-intensive methods and prefer lower xp/lower apm methods, others prefer the higher xp (such as myself). Some people will go for variety, some will go for long grinds to get that level asap. I'm not saying that you are wrong, but I do mean that you should not base your advice on a common opinion. If you wish to take preference into advice, you should provide advice for multiple opinions.

First time through GodWars
Ice cleave will affect Graardor as normal. So will ice spells. Ranging Graardor non-solo can be done quite well (make sure your friend tanks the mage minion if possible). Use a crossbow and a spirit shield. You will likely die or be crashed or forced to teleport out before you get one kill. With your mage friend not hitting at all (or your ranger or yourself for that matter) it will be nearly impossible to win.

mining help
Mining urns work at granite, it is the best mining xp and the most efficient way to get 80.

I don't really mind any of the updates, but nothing says 'go do this, you'll love it'. Give me Elemental Workshop 5 and 6 already.

95 Prayer/Turmoil Question
Soul split is the difference between chaos tunnels and ancient cavern for waterfiends. With soul split you can tank steel dragons, survive at mithril dragons etc. with a yak. With soul split you can use a combat familar instead of a unicorn at some places. Then again all that isn't worth it if you lose piety on your primary weapon, hence you get turmoil as well (which is also better than piety as I calced for you earlier).

Random Drop Table Question
It's still a rare drop table... getting two of Vecna's skulls (how many heads did that guy have :P?) is just amazing luck.

Herblore Habitat
860 catches 169 seeds Ugune x6 Samaden x17 Erzille x9 Shengo x11 Red x19 Blue x19 Orange x3 Banana x9 Lergberry x25 Kalferberry x23 Green x19 Argway x7 Apple x2 That's my small seeds log for now. I was getting ~150 catches per hour (200 last trip, sudden spike), not using scentless or camouflage but with a bear, at 75 hunter. Common jadinkos only.

Complete Slayer Guide
Berserker costs one point per 18 seconds - 200 per hour or about 6-7 doses of pray pot (before prayer bonus, so say, a full pot). It also saves you from repotting once (one dose of extreme attack and strength, possibly defence) per hour. I don't think it's really worth it, personally. And of course it's no good with overloads.
