Vestas Long
If you are going to do one-handed weapon staking w/ special and ranged enabled, I'd use morrigan's javelin versus sol specs. I'm fairly sure a single javelin spec beats a half-damage vls spec.

Turmoil on Monsters
homer got it. For turmoil to beat piety in every stat, your opponent needs an attack level equal to at least 1/3 your own, a strength level and a defence level equal to 2/3rd your own. Which means turmoil is almost always better than piety. A notable creature in this is the waterfiend which has 1 attack and strength (since it does not melee) which means turmoil provides less accuracy bonus than piety (though it drains less and provides more defence).

Are Snaps worth it without Juju potions?
Torstol went at 228k per seed and 33k per clean herb last farm run I did - 3 hours ago. You just need to find the price.

Your take on DIY?
I DIY dragon claws. That is, I never purchased a pair. If you see me with them, it means I've had a drop in the past few days :P. I hope to one day DIY a divine, however I intend to purchase the sigil. Generally I try to cut out stuff I don't care to do such as cannonball making. I got a friend who does everything by herself but she likes cannoning - imagine how that works.

The Abyssal Queen
Although abyssals are not poisonous, it does fit in with them imo. You could make the queen like pest queen. Since hive queens thend to be stationary. However the queen would have caretakers, guardians etc. So you would start out with the queen just sitting here and lashing people (whips come from somewhere right) with tentacles & using magic stuff. Perhaps some of the chaos elemental attacks suit this. I would also like to see some mind control power (fire your next attack at a teammate :P). Guardians using acid/poison perhaps? And caretakers healing. And then an idea borrowed from ants, the shield-abyssal you can't walk or shoot through. So to kill the queen, after arriving on the scene: You are being shot at, the shield abyssals are in front of you so you can't hit much. Basically the shields are like the KQ when she prays - extremely tough. However you can move around/over them&walls around them (stand on walls & shoot over them too), perhaps even with grapples, agility etc. You can also power through them with mauls or Verac's etcetera (I don't think it should take too long, but only viable in masses - a true difference in strategy that is). Throughout the fight, more shields appear, but you can always move around them. The idea is that it forces you to move in a certain pattern, making you vulnerable to guardian/queen aoe attacks. The shields force you to choke points. The aoe attacks are like the riftsplitter's except that they are abyssal rifts, of course. They drain run energy to zero. Moving over shields takes energy, so it makes moving quite hard. Strategy-wise this means it's best to range the queen - however if you can get within melee range you can do some serious damage. I'd like to see a boss where you send out a small team (2-3 people) with mauls to get up close while a few others range down approaching threats. There might be sniping positions or so. Written at 2am and I'm tired...

It tells me I need more SC points than I care to gather ><. But it's a very neat calculator.

I'm jealous of those charms... only that pile of crimsons will get me over 99 in a few days...

Chinning with hati gloves
Since armadyl already has a huge accuracy bonus, I would say trading +5 ranged attack for +12 prayer is worth it.

5 or 6 mil
Superheating would be the best for you, it's probably faster than alching, gives smithing xp too (useful for quests perhaps) and you may break even depending on what you superheat. Alching would also break even if you can find an item. It's more afk but no smithing xp. The main thing you must do is sort out the prices.

3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion
That's very nice Druvovic, maybe there's enough left to celebrate with a nice drop party? Funny thing is that a third of your f2p items is a party hat.

Best Members Item to High Alch?
Dragon square shields, dragon spears. That's the sort of item you are looking for for small profitable alchs. You can also try some summoning pouches.

For every herb you pick there is a 1 in 3 chance you pick another for free.

Every time you equip and use it it takes one charge which is one minute.

Hmmm not for Jad if you want him easy, but I agree you would bring one for the caves.

Are Torstols crashing?
Eh, they sold at 30500 or so for me. They went at med last night, might be a demand curve across the day as the USA comes online.

construction help
Oak doors are faster, you need 73 or 74 construction for those. It'd be faster to do mahogany tables but more expensive.

Need help making a staker..
In staking, usually very strict rules are made. E.g. mage boxing is no movement or items, no healing no prayer etc, with runes for all barrage spells. Blood barrage is very inaccurate compared to blitz, and ice barrage is more accurate and hits higher, so you want some variety. If you want staking with gear, be prepared for divine, Nex gear and stuff being used against you. If you do weapon-only staking, you should get a staff of light and spec (if melee is enabled) or a chaotic rapier + korasi's sword, or use morrigan's javelins or something. Zuriel's staff is also nice. Zuriel's > sol spec is pretty powerful.

frost dragons with yak
That's the main resource you'll need. Be sure to practice ss flashing and it'll all be easy. It's really inconvenient to have to rely on food there.

Chaos tunnels in wildy
I've gone to Bork with a very low-risk setup (maul, fury, barrows gloves, Guthan's plate) and there were some people but none really looking to rush me down. If you protect from magic when you see Korasi's sword and melee when you see claws, you should be fine. Keep run on and be ready to brew (1-2 brews + some monkfish should be enough).
-
Everyday armor
Use Johannas' setup with a torso. Pray piety whenever meleeing. Don't get Guthan's. You can use Karil's on monsters that mage, but it's really more convenient to just cannon the important mage monsters (abberant spectres and bloodvelds) with protect from magic and melee respectively. You only need to kill these on task, off task crawlers and black dragons are probably better. Off task use a helmet of Neitiznot.

Is the thieving guild good?
Coshing is very good but it was recently nerfed across the board. You can now get up to two pickpockets per hit instead of three, which decreased xp rates somewhat.

TzHaar Task
Ideally, torva + divine since Jad and everything else doesn't hit very well on that if you use protect from magic. Realistically, bandos + defender. You can use your regular slayer gear but two things: you want some extra prayer bonus and defence bonus. So replace prossy top/torso with bcp, replace fire cape/ardy 3 with soul wars cape. Of course at your stats you can use a dds all the way and still make it. Inventory is an extreme (pure) set & one overload or three overloads. Then EEE, claws, 4 rocktails/baron shark/juju gumbo/summer pie (2 brews if you use overloads), with +19 prayer bonus you need ~1850 points of prayer restore (if you use protect pray + turmoil at all times) which is about 60 doses of ppot or 15 pots (+ a spare just in case I guess). You can also use 12 super prayers of course. If you use a divine, you may need some more prayer, I don't know as I never really used one. Above inventory is 25 spaces max, 17 if you use the minimum. You can fill up leftover space with more food, prayer or overload depending on how confident you are about finishing in an hour. You can also bring a ranged top, legs and weapon and range Jad. I recommend a super prayer setup in that case, so you can bring 2-3 handcannons. They have a really nice range and damage. Use EEE if you need healing and claws for speeding up Jad, you can of course leave either out but EEE is 24 sharks/7 brews over the course of an hour and works as an overload timer, so that's nice.
