SGS - worth it?
Well since you ask, no it wouldn't. You could see how the ancient mace is though. Sgs only replenishes a quarter of a tenth of what you hit, the mace all (but uses twice the spec energy and hits a lot lower of course). I mention the mace because it's cheap, so it won't hurt your cashpile. I don't think it's particulary good or anything.

Bandos Solo
I don't think it'd be worth it for ffa for example but for longer trips a shield is recommended and obsidian is nice because it doesn't protect over a chaotic (which dfs does iirc).

dungeoneering advice
Do be sure to exhaust every possibilty to dg with friends. Not only are the people on w117 generally unskilled, they are also strangers and as such more likely to cause anger due to the lack of skill.

issues at rock lobsters
I don't know how many you need exactly but that should be quite a few hours at waterfiends/lobsters. Level 69 is about 670k xp I think? and you have 200k, so you need 470k xp which is about 1200 crims. Say ten hours if you have no charms.

Arrows/knives/bolts/thrownaxes/javelins/darts
Cannoning chaos druids breaks even and gives you a part of your ranged xp without hp xp (you may find that attractive or not). Cannoning green dragons is also pretty good for you cash-wise but you are of a low level so they would probably shred you. I recommed staying away from the dragons and letting the cannon do the work, but only once you reach 61 ranged for a rune crossbow. Get 55 slayer for broad bolts, they are adamant bolts at half the price. Eh I think you should go with chaos druids w/o cannon for money for now, in the resource dungeon (requires a dg level, but it's pretty low, like 15 or 20 I think). Bring iron darts, pick up the ranarr spawn and just range them. At 50 ranged you can use the magic shortbow if you find darts too inaccurate.

Quest cape stats and more
Alistair is right imo. Farm avantoe for money & farming xp, add a cheap tree like oak (10 gp per seed, lol) or willow (little more but also three times the xp iirc).

what quests to unlock slay tasks?
Terrorbirds are a great task imo with the auto-chime (torts suck due to spawns, but both have decent enough drops). Terror dogs are also a fast & short task in multicombat (steel titan if you got it). Black demons are some of the best xp and effigies and good crimson charms. I would unlock everything simply because I would do every quest and I like most/all slayer tasks anyway (little experience with aquanites but they seemed alright). If you don't need quests per se (While Guthix Sleeps is 3m gp + 400k xp by the way) you should at least unlock mutated bloodvelds, ice strykewyrms and dark beasts.

Armadyl Solo
I'd go with the spectral and chaotic crossbow. If you have them, barrows gloves would be superior to zamorak bracers I think (not a big deal though). Step by step: 1 - Spectral, ccbow 2 - Yes, but only on bosses. On for example frost dragons it really doesn't matter. 3 - You shouldn't be using one, as Nifflin said. 4 - As 3. 5 - It depends on how fast you can bank and get kc, overall I'd use a yak then a unicorn, but use a steel titan if you want to avoid crashers. If you are very experienced you could use a combination of elite void deflector w/ acp, chaotic crossbow and steel titan to get very fast kills, but you will take a lot of damage and you will have short trips.

Ask my modem. It'll be up later today if I can get the helpdesk on the phone but for now I'm posting from the university network. Congratulations on the rapier Obtaurian :thumbsup:.

warrior vs zerker ring for slayer?
Depending on your setup +4 strength bonus is 11-12 higher max (higher with void, even). Otherwise pulli is quite correct. The fact that it is minimum damage also means less overkill loss than +20 str bonus (theoretical benefit, but it sounds fun :P). I also remember the ferocious ring working as a ring of wealth in Kuradal's dungeon... ah, scratch that, it's a ring of life. When it activates it takes you to Kuradal.

Maxing construction
On a 1 defence pure the best possible money is probably frost dragons (ranging) or the scroll of cleansing. Here's the deal: You buy 1k herbs for x, vials of water for y and they have a total value z which is approximately x+y (e.g. you won't make much money from selling the pots normally). However the scroll of cleansing save about 1/10 (1/8?) of the herbs you use, so you end up with ~1.1k unf pots which sell of course for more money than you bought the ingredients for. If you are fast with making the pots and have some money to buy a decent stack of herbs this can be as high as 1.5m gp/hr. It's a no-xp moneymaker though.

Shadow silk hood , Sign
The hood isn't that much better than the plate (unless you really only play with people with hoods). It's certainly not enough to do a load of no-prestige rather slow and low xp floors all over again. Just do your normal routine and be lucky :P.

A lonely slayer.
"Shyla" has many Tip.It people. "Grimy Bunyip" is the cc I'm in. It has far less people and is more focused on efficiency (but it's not required ofc).

Onyx Ring (i)
You justbsaid that dragonfire shield is better then dragon defender. LOL. Last time I checked the defender has more total attack and strength bonus than the dragonfire shield... I was obviously referring to equal bonusus. DFS has higher strength bonus. Look out, it's the semantics police! A strength bonus will always be better than an equal attack bonus under any circumstances. This is clearly what Quyneax was talking about. Can we move on now? Look out, it's the usual typical smartass at large! Ever have something to say without all the added doucheyness? I didn't disagree with what he had to say, I just pointed out his error before someone else got to it. Bar extremely high defense monsters, of which few to none exist currently, strength always wins over accuracy bonus, at least when both are in close proximity of each other bonus wise. What she had to say, heh. And what I bolded is incorrect. X strength bonus is always superior to X attack bonus unless your strength bonus is so high that overkill loss becomes a large issue and your opponent has high defence (e.g. a 2000 defence chicken or a 200 lp corp).

Since you are a DIYer it'd be faster to recharge your chaotic(s) with tokens ;-).

Quickest dungeoneering exp?
Sounds good enough, yeah.

Website for rune mining
In f2p I'd assume you would either wear magic defence (green d'hide) and pray range (avoid freeze but vulnerable to tb) or ranged defence (rune) and avoid tb but be frozen sometimes.

warrior vs zerker ring for slayer?
Warrior = zerker in dps increase when your accuracy with warrior is 50%. E.g. if you brought your whip to mithril dragons it'd be as good. On most slayer monsters you will have higher accuracy, and on the few you don't (black/iron/steel/mithril dragons mostly) you should be using stab attacks, where the warrior doesn't work (and once you get a chaotic rapier, well, bye warrior). A berserker ring is also about as costly as a torso if you make money through green dragons or so (and can be resold, should you be in a cashflow crisis) and is much cheaper than Bandos. Finally, the berserker ring can be imbued for 4 more strength, which is both a waste of time and really nice. If you get it around 80 melees it'll save you ~6 hours to 99 melees and boost your overall dps after that as well.

"You are not sure how to go about doing this."
You can always suggest that the website be updated ;-).

korasi sword vs d claws spec?
I forgot to add that it can be nice on barrows brothers. You can 2-hit any of them with a dose of spec recover and appropriate luck.

Defence, Magic, and Range
You can trade them to a certain rogue for low alch price or sell them to the grand exchange. They are otherwise worthless.

Gratz, now come visit me in Grimy's cc. We need a new face, lol.

Dungeoneering
If you have done all floors, you now reset. Then you rush the lowest floors - 10 or so - and do the rest with higher xp. Try to get friends or so to play with you, nothing else will beat solo at your levels.
