<3: waterfiends, I got 260 crimsons in 2 hours today (+ a bit in blues/greens/golds). Bursting is how many charms per hour?

Snapdragons, get a scroll of life.

Err... check the GE prices like so. It takes 250 gp to plank them at the sawmill.

That just happens every now and then. I'd put the average at 350k/run including market fluctuations.

But it has far less defence. I'm fairly sure tassets + karil's top + neit has around twice the defence of a void handcannon setup, and as such ranged really isn't viable on, say, Graardor, or any GWD boss (solo) because the ranged minion will hit you a lot.

You had two weapons bound? That sounds like a waste of a bind to me, I'm fairly sure primal 2h/spear or prom 2h + hood + blood neck beats two melee weapons without the necklace.

Lol double post. That's my first I think.

Example powerslaying setup.

You used a spear with berserker ring? That isn't possible.

You don't have divine, so you have no use for cls. Either use rapier + defender or maul (especially in teams, where defence is even less of an issue than normally). Also the crossbow is far better as it helps at tds, dks, Kree'arra and Nex, which are all some good money bosses.

Farming is the best. Tds are still ok (all bosshunting has lost some value) but if you don't want to do them, well that doesn't leave them :P. At your stats, Nex or Kree'arra are probably the best ones.

It's the major weakness of curses (the lack of a good ranged damage boost). As for bosses being limited, this is true, however both Kree'arra and Nex are pretty good bosses for money, and Kree isn't too hard in a duo especially (just shoot and use unicorn scrolls & ppots).

There is no real fast way I think, you're stuck with them. However what people do is using the shard swap service offered by Bogrog (the ogre shaman) to cut out a lot of banking. Simply go there with a stack of gp, crimson charms, a chisel, some free space and 20 blocks of granite. As you cut them and turn them into pouches (need to buy some shards first) you trade them back for shards etc.

Yew seeds are not cheap at all... they're 70k each. For farming, usually you buy seeds and plant them when harvesting the previous run (e.g. you need 10 seeds to start with, one set of 5 to plant the first run and another 5 to replace them with). If you have juju farming potions and a scroll of life, go with torstol. If you lack juju farming potions, farm snapdragon and get them. If you lack the scroll, also farm snaps and get it fast (it only takes about a day to get both anyway).

1) Don't get cls. 2) Ss: +82 str +82 attack. Dscim + ddefender: +72 str +91 attack. Korasi's + ddefender: +76 str +94 attack. Ss for low defence, ks for dragons (stab) and high defence. Though ks stab is controlled I think. 3) Get a rapier fast.

You can cut what, 100 magic logs in an hour? You can make 200k/hr just picking up herb spawns, or telegrabbing wines (which is f2p by the way, though it does require a magic level), or dailies.

1) Cannon yourself. 2) What Zaaps said.

It's the highest dps ranged weapon in Runescape, has awesome range and an accurate special, and it blows up. Get a higher firemaking level, and use it.

Always the same xp/glove I believe, though cannoning wouldn't waste xp on constitution. So I think the best would be cannoning cave crawlers (WITHOUT attacking yourself, to avoid con gains).

Battle robes for hybridding? That's quite a lot of risk, I wouldn't say it's worth it.

Use super strength for sure, no question. @foursideking: slayer really isn't 500k/hr at Duradel, I think. At least not at lower levels.

If you like your account better than one with higher defence, don't train it up. That being said you may not have experience with higher defence. So ultimately, you will have to make an ill-informed decision :P.

I use tank gear (no dfs though) with my rapier on slash, soul splitting as needed. Magic defence won't help you whatsoever.

Your combat level is based on defence + constitution + prayer + summoning one way, and either 1/2 your ranged level, 1/2 your magic level, or 1/3 of your attack level plus 1/3 of your strength level (whichever is higher). 99 ranged will usually have a lower damage output than 99 attack + strength (except on Kree'arra/aviansies, perhaps Nex, perhaps KQ first form etc.). A maxed tank, e.g. someone with 99 ranged, magic, defence, constitution, summoning and up to ~150 melee levels can do two bosses well: Nex and Kree'arra. Possibly you could try steel titan tding, using magic, but you'd still have to darklight. Duo tds should be quite possible though.

Soak comes into play on Jad, GWD, corp, kq, dks (very little on all but Jad and corp). Some other monsters may also hit over 200 (mithril dragons) but you'd usually protect pray against their melee attacks anyway. So yeah, soak isn't very valuable, though it can matter quite a bit in pvp versus a maul for example.
