General Return help thread
Dailies. Do Fairy Tale part 1 for some farming xp. Look up the quests for more farming xp, you should be able to get to ranarr herbs without actually farming (lol). Then just farm ranarr w/ secateurs and supercompost. Get a scroll of life as soon as you hit 68 farming and do snaps then. Get juju around that time too.

Mage Boxing+ prayer training
The idea is that smoke is the most accurate right? If you need to learn boxing now chances are you'll be cleaned. It's a highly unstable form of moneymaking. You're 100m short of turmoil because you're not dumb enough to break your bank over it. 100m is about 5k frost dragon bones which should take you about 30 hours to collect. Get dungeoneering.

Some pking questions.
Rune is less risky, that's why you should start out with it. Also when using a range/mage hybrid your KOs come from dragonstone bolts (or Morrigan's, but certainly not from magic).

Based on my stats......
Dailies are a broad term for time-limited profitable activities. E.g. you can kill Bork once per 24 hours (resets at midnight GMT) to get ~5k, a sapphire, an emerald, a ruby, two green charms, seven crimson charms and five blue charms (doubled after the completion of the Varrock elite tasks). Once a week you can do the Skeletal Horror, Penguins, Tears of Guthix and Familiarization. Once a day you can buy shop stock and sell it on the Grand Exchange (depending on prices you can do broad bolts, death runes, water runes, earth runes, battlestaves, feathers, vials of water etc.). Once a day you can get free pure essence, flax and pineapples from task rewards. Once every ~70 minutes you can do a herb farming run, which makes 100-350k profit on average (depends on the herb and the boosts used) and take around five minutes.

Pking with range 2h or melee with 2h?
I'd say range-2h. As far as I know a maple short bow has higher dps than a rune scimitar. However I'd just get the prayer levels (won't take THAT long) for eagle eye.
-
Some pking questions.
Eh pures won't hit as often as you do, but you're not taking the full advantage of your 70+ defence (wearing barrows). A pure at your level can have 90+ strength and as such hit far higher than yourself. Karil's crossbow will have a very high dps on any target, especially if you are using black hide with it (I'm assuming void is too much of a risk). The handcannon would be even higher dps, as well as a little more accurate & with a longer range. Use vengeance if you don't want to barrage. This may seem obvious, but it's really up to you whether you want to hybrid or range tank.

Clan Chats
"Grimy Bunyip" is the cc I'm in usually. I can always answer a question or get Grimy to dig out a nice calculator (if he's on). It's not a busy cc, probably 2-10 people depending on what times you get on.

rune gauntlets, berserker shield and gravite weapons.
The gravite two-hander is probably the best f2p weapon that's even remotely viable to use (corrupt dscim is better stat-wise of course but entirely too expensive). If you have plenty of money (the kind you make in p2p) and tokens (again...) I'd consider using the two-hander. Otherwise, stick with a rune scimitar. The shield isn't worth it for anything but pvp (the time it takes to charge the shield nulls the time you save by hitting a little higher).

Craftin Fury's How To Make A Zerker Pure: For Dummies!
That's probably because the guide is over three years old ;-). The picture host probably deleteted them. I must say I'm amazed to see how the guide is actually quite up-to-date.

Get imbued rings already :P.

untradeables in the new wild
I wonder about imbued rings - the berserker ring is shown as 10k risk but it clearly is worth quite a bit more.

How should I do barrows?
Eh true you can, but there is no point in doing 60 chest trips. It'll take you at least 5 hours and at that point, it's more efficient to take breaks (to farm for example). Also, for a 60-chest run your mate would need 15 overloads. Or he'd be losing out on 21% magic damage. Hardly efficient.

Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!
Torstol is also better money than snaps, especially yesterday (when they were going above guide price). Just farm torstol already :P.

Based on my stats......
Slayer is mainly an investment, you are not making good money (compared to say, blue dragons) but you are getting valuable xp, some drops, it's generally not too boring and as you level slayer you can get whip drops etc. (which still doesn't take overall slaying profits very far, but it's nice).

cmbt 50 10 hp?
You can do mid-level pking if you get your ranged up equal to your magic (and get constitution up). However to be quite effective you need ancient magics, 94 magic and 90+ ranged. At that point, with 80+ constitution and LOW atk/str, curses and 52/92 prayer, you can do some decent hybriding. Add defence for a true tank (note idk how good a hybrid pure is exactly).

Get 95 prayer, 92 herblore, all stats 70+ and a quest cape.

New Pker
I used ks/climbers/barrows gloves/glory (e.g. against all good advice Razzkun wrote up above). It's possible to get in fights even then (heck I used a unicorn) but it took 20 minutes :P.

How should I do barrows?
Chests/hour should be around 10, I imagine, little more perhaps. Use brews only with overloads. Use overloads. You can finish the run in one dose (from first to last brother, not counting walking back). If you want to a 12-run trip, you bring 3 ovl, 6-9 super prayer (2-3 doses per run), spade, spec weapon, tele, two armour switches (plate & legs), 6 brews or so. When I used EEE specs I barely needed any health, so I imagine 2 doses per run is decent. I'm not sure though as I ssed as needed and you have higher melees. I'm not sure how much prayer you need either, you should try out what works for you.
-
Chaotic long?
+ Minis, the rapier saves health by allowing you to kill minis faster (ssing the same but faster, taking less hits).

Moved to the Graveyard :).

How should I do barrows?
I know your prayer is 70, I mention soul split to illustrate how the method may or may not be suited to you :P. You can replace it with piety and brews.

3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion
I saw ely going for 500m last night - if you count that 75m profit, I'd say selling your fury is now justified :P.

55 Magic; 10 HP?
Full iron works just as well. Dragonhide vambraces have -10 magic attack too, but I'm not sure if normal leather ones do. Full iron is -30 for the plate, -21 for the legs, -8 for the kite, -6 for the helmet. That's -65. If you can get -10 from those vambraces, or a few points less from boots/amulet/cape/ring you can use an earth/water staff to save a little money.

How should I do barrows?
Don't bother with battle robes imo. I use void deflector/barrows gloves/ardy 3/crapier. If you got void gloves + dragon defender that works well too. Just straight-up melee everything with turmoil + protect prayer & overload. Bring barrows plate & legs to run through the tunnels. Soul split Ahrim with claw/dds/ks specs whenever you feel like it (cause with ovl his stat reductions are not relevant anyway). You can also soul split Torag/Guthan/Verac with ks specs but it's riskier. Soul split flash if you need healing on Dharok. On Karil, I'd just not try to heal. You can do the same with cls and maul, but they are somewhat slower. You can also use Ahrim's + asn + cstaff/sol and barrage the lot, meleeing Ahrim with a rapier and defender. If you want to tank, use Verac's. Arcane spirit shield is better than tome of frost though. You can also use a salamander. If you do, use Ahrim's top instead of Verac's. Freeze a brother as normal, then stand one square diagonally and hit him with a salamander. Melee Karil and Ahrim.

Quests...hate them
Do all quests. That way you only have to do quests again when they come out, and that's pretty slow.
