I think gem-finding is one of the few scrimshaws worth something (~1.5-2m), because of the chance to find an onyx, but I don't know for sure. Bones don't have any use besides scrimshaws, so if you want money from ports, then make one (find a good price check first). I sold tetsu legs @ 25m a few days ago, which is 500k per plate. As far as I know, scrimshaws top at 2m each, 200k per bone. Based on those prices, it's much, much better to focus on armour.

Firstly, try playing 1v2 Castle Wars (requires equal combat levels), two people win, one loses, results in 4/3 tickets per game on average, better than 1v1 (2/2). I don't know of any fixed group, Baraxil fc occasionally had people (for hybrid, not games), but not often.

Dual wield t80 weapon (Virtus wand & book) because of the better 5s basic ability. You want void + steel titan for max dps, but I'm not sure whether a) you can survive and b) titan is worth it with how horrid the AI is etc.. Second to void is Virtus armour, the full set if you can. One possible way of surviving and perhaps worthwhile for kph is blood barraging glacytes, and you'd use Wild Magic and titan to knock down the enduring ASAP.

Yeah, if Fortune of the Seas increases your penalty, you wouldn't be getting any resources anyway :P. Best to use it after all.

A 3x3 weakness system where you have stab/slash/crush by melee/range/mage (arrow/thrown/bolt and err, ray/missile/burst?) would be nice imo, monsters would be weak to one on both axes and you could for example use arrows on a stab weak monster more successfully than you could use thrown (and arrow would be equal to slash, ray and crush). Elements would then perhaps describe special effects that can be added to hits, as in the ancient effects (blood/earth heals casteer, ice/water binds target, shadow/fire reduces target accuracy, air/smoke moves your target a square?).

Got a fair bit of loot today, gs shard 2 and bandos warshield + journal (not worth anything but still nice), bunch of QBD loots including stabilizer, sold a scrimshaw (yesterday actually) and got about 20 rune items and ~100 bones @ miths (void is not enough for the 3 mith spot, tetsu works). In the end, back up to 20m cash, after being down to 11m buying drygore rapier.

Do not use rune crossbows for anything, they are level 50 weapons which means they are about 2.5-4 times as inaccurate as the weapons you are supposed to be using.

I have used void mage + chaotic staff there quite a bit (ovl/anguish, 99 magic) and Soul Split will only barely sustain you, sometimes not at all - you do need a unicorn or some food. Even with cstaff you splash a fair bit, so I wouldn't bother with glacors until you get that at least, abs won't be strong enough to get a decent kph. That is assuming you have alternative bosses available (notably GWD).

We have talked to him, and I doubt Azzanandra would fake Zaros, he's pretty devoted to him. I think Zaros mostly needs the Stone brought to the Temple at Senntissten, that would certainly bring him back, assuming the dragonkin don't go crazy.

... you are misreading my posts again. I did not say that Zaros shares Guthix' values, I am saying that if he did, he would nevertheless be different from Guthix, because he would implement them differently. And yes, Guthix is deeply involved, but at the same time his ideal and his goal has always been not to be. You can say he failed, but his preferred method is still one of non-interaction. Finally, the rule of gods is not necessarily unbalancing at all. Guthix' desire for balance is in his mind connected with a god-free world, but that is more to blame on his mortal experiences than any sort of logical connection. Zaros' empire was built on war, certainly, but it was also prosperous and it was possible to travel from Senntissten to Ghorrock safely, which you can hardly say is true today. I don't see why you would say that empires by definition cannot be peaceful, that is not the definition of an empire at all. There is no known mass murder or 'cultural extinction' in the history of plenty of/most empires (and none of those things are confirmed/known in the history of Zaros' empire), and subjugation and dominion are merely coloured terms for a power relation, which is implied in empire, but not necessarily a bad thing either.

Ways of combat 101: Always use your best potions & prayers & weapons. Do not be cheap. Get void equipment ASAP. Get your defence last. Alternate 3s abilities (Slice, Wrack, Piercing Shot) with others. For fast adrenaline, use the lowest cooldown ability you have ready every time. Tresholds deal the real damage. Use them.

Zaros was powerful, but that doesn't mean there was no balance under his rule - his empire was pretty successful. It's like Law vs. Chaos (Law vs. Order is err, my mistake), different outlooks on how to achieve certain values, e.g. the translation of values into rules you can follow. Guthix' values are things like balance, peace, freedom, mortal independance of gods, which he tried to achieve by not interfering at all (laissez-faire) - didn't work so well in the end of course. Zaros, if he had the same values, would be more likely to maintain control himself, e.g. promoting balance/peace/freedom by forming a huge empire. We don't know Zaros' values, probably not balance, but if he had the same values as Guthix, he'd still be different than Guthix. (of course it should be noted that every god has some form of control over some things, and typically they want more not less)

Void > anything else for damage, so yes to your mage question. I doubt torva is actually worth it considering the degrade & that void is just better, but it is the only thing that will help both QBD and slayer.

God power should run about: Elders, Jas, maybe Dramen Guthix, old Zaros (based on pre-TWW lore, not sure he had an artefact, but he is old - if no artefact when he came to Gielinor, he drops a level) Saradomin (by virtue of having the crown and being so old), Seren (I suspect she has an artefact which has to do with crystal, she is also very old) Zamorak (did get to use the stone and staff a bit, and drained a powerful god), Zaros, Tuska (who has no artefact anymore iirc, but is older than Zamorak), Armadyl (lost his staff) Bandos (no known artefact and not known to be very old, though he could be I suppose, powerful enough to fight in the God Wars), Skargaroth (did have an artefact, but he was younger than Zamorak is now, when he died, I think) Tumeken and related gods/godesses, Marimbo, Brassica Prime (lol), Karamjan gods, Fremmenik gods (if any) - no know artefacts here Demigods, Tumeken's children and such, Mahjarrat and Dragonkin and perhaps us as well. That's my guess anyway. Dragonkin are very powerful of course, but not full gods I think - their contact with the Stone is of a different kind.

Idk, I haven't slayed in forever, but a good strategy is always to kill a secondary/tertiary target with DoT + multitarget + AoE. I guess cresbots are the best slayer task to use these on then :/. Sad thing too, cause most slayer kph is way too high now.

Lol :D. Crafted tetsu legs instead of waiting for helmet, sold 25m, bought drygore rapier, went QBD, she's tons better with drygore + eee than with death lotus + zaryte (and I mean 3x as fast). Got journals 2-4 b2b2b and then torsion spring. So yeah, trim req done I guess? Maybe 20 kills total, probably less. Incidentally, melee cresbots are easier and faster to kill with drygore than blood barrage/blitz. Berserk easily kills two (one for adren buildup and one with assault).

Combust is much higher damage than impact, binding shot deals no damage unless your opponent is immune to stun. Punish is pretty bad as well, Dismember deals a lot more damage. You don't need a 5s ability for 2h (slice/dismember/smash/swipe/sever). For dual wield you have one less basic, but you have another treshold (destroy in addition to assault) so that fills your rotation nicely, even more so because destroy takes 6s to perform.

If you do not have the power to subjugate whole races of powerful beings, the next best thing control-wise is to form an alliance with them. "Soft power" vs. "hard power". The USA does not have the power to occupy all of the rich/western/industrialized world (Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan etc.) but it has massive power over them regardless. And I don't think it would be interested in occupying all these countries anyway, even if it had the power, because it takes so much effort. Sometimes it's a much better effort:power ratio to be a bit more distant, allowing your effort to be focused elsewhere for even more power.

Zaros as god of Control versus Zamorak's Chaos certainly explains why the balance was upset when Zaros was betrayed. It also explains why Zaros built a huge empire. I think I would see Zaros mostly as a god who controls the world, as opposed to Guthix' laissez-faire attitude (which is not necessarily related to Balance, by the way - Zaros could still be after Balance). It's a bit like Lawful vs. Chaotic being unrelated to Good vs. Evil. I think Jagex wants to move gods away from the Good vs. Evil axis (certainly away from Evil) and put them more on the Lawful vs. Chaotic axis to allow people to identify a bit with all of them.

Stage 1 appears to be free of disease regardless, though I'm not in on the data exactly :P.

Now instead of '5b xp is/isn't possible' we have 'the five billionth xp on an account can/can't be recorded'. Let's see if the next person can.

Okay no dg levels, hybrid or anything, but got a cresbot. Pretty sure that's <400 kills.

Definitely ignore ults like Pulverize, Tsunami, Frenzy too usually. No need to have all those abilities on your bar anyway, things like Quake are very rarely useful. Having both Concentrated Blast and Sonic Wave is useless as well, and confusing.

Depending how much you want to spend etc., gravite or TT god bow with rune arrows is the highest dps up to level 60, where dragon 2h or dual wield crossbow(s) take(s) over until 70. Not sure what is good to range, maybe some sort of demon (lessers/greaters?).

You do lose score for switching shipwrights iirc. And give me some scrolls, I keep failing them (at 85%+) :(.
