Instead of strength bonus you have % critical hit now. 1% crit increases your damage with autoattacks by .5% of your base average dps (autoattack crits have a 1.5x damage multiplier). For abilities, a crit equals your max, which means 1% crit increases ability damage by 1% of base. With 10m, you can do all GWD including Nex (provided you have void and various other untradeables).

Thanks and yes :). Only need Livid and 120 dg. After the deck upgrade for morale.

Steel titan is amazing, possibly more so than before. Best armour is void and ports stuff. Best weapons are the highest-levelled versions in each attack style (chaotics etc.). 2h > dual wield for damage.

PoP armour *should* be getting a set effect/buff along with Nex armour.

For smithing, there are two ways broadly: superheating gold (while mining if you want mining xp) and Artisan's + adamant platebodies. Herblore, making whatever potion is cheap until you can make extremes, then make all the extremes/overloads/superantifires you want, then make prayer renewals for the remaining xp. For crafting, air battlestaves are good but problematic with buy limits. Cutting gems and making dhide bodies allow more xp per day but are costlier. For prayer, dragon bones or frost dragon bones if you make >4m/h iirc.

Well for the Pest Queen, killing them fast didn't work out so well ;). I think in a game with absolutely no damage boosts from armour, having a 10% effect is pretty huge. It'd be more fitting to increase defence & lp boost while keeping the effect at 5%. Void should be statted at lower levels than it requires to wear anyway. Of course with the upcoming strength boosts & Nex set effects, 10% might become fairly doable.

Thanks :). You look like you need some hunter too ^^. Ports: got second Tetsu leg scroll, 20 more spices, 28% to zone. Also Whaler Scythe story done, sent a 2 plate mission as well (trying to get some cherry voyages but this is better), got another 20 spice mission and one for 360 jade. Bought 4x cannon upgrade, now saving for the next rigging. When you buy cannons, your default rigging graphic becomes Ornate instead of Oxskin, which means my ships look much nicer now. Skilling: ~1.7m xp to max, 600k mine/smith and 500k fish. Desert tasks need to hurry up! Also finished Kiln, finally. With obsidian armour it's a joke, but pretty fun. Edit: Whaler/Biologist again, sent Whaler for story (6600 all fml, but got 100% with effects) and Biologist for scroll (81%, 3rd tetsu legs). Still bad captains, chimes black market. Bought whaleskin rigging.

Except that you're not hybriding, which is a disadvantage already. If you were hybriding, the additional accuracy of a hood vs body/legs would be more useful. It's not like you need legs to survive anyway, and you only need plate so that doors won't one-shot you if you fail them.

Elite void has the same stats as regular apart from the prayer, that's hardly worth a higher level requirement (plus the quest requirements, 78 att/str, no def, suits offence-focused armour). Adjusting the void set effect to be more in line with other armour (which has no damage boost atm, but that's coming), combined with armour/lp/level/requirement boosts, would be best imo. T60 and T80 void would be nice. T80 would have to have some (fairly) tough requirement, maybe similar to gathering Shards of Armadyl or godsword shards.

The ranks are a requirement for the trimmed cape only, and nothing else is really worth it (either).

The chance of a t11 drop is much higher in teams. It depends on what you do most. For some things, a shield might be best. Cls/rapier are quite underwhelming. You can wait for the chaotic claws coming out soon. I wouldn't bind platelegs, they aren't very good. Stick to hood/plate/2h (maul/spear) and bow+arrows. Blood neck over either hood or plate, both at 120 of course.

Pretty decent start to Ports today: first set of voyages got me a captain reroll & fortune of the seas (my second) - the captain was 10k chimes, combat focus, with plucky. Sent the Whaler's story voyage for the Scythe, and the dual Whaler/Biologist 6 plate mission was replaced by a scroll mission (sent at 83% or something). Since I bought the last lodgings upgrade that requires bamboo, I'm pretty sure I don't need any anymore. Gunpowder and slate are now pretty close to useless as well, so no more short voyage spams at the end of the day.

I think maul is slightly better, the only stab weak thing is dragons I think. That said, spear is probably equally good on anything not weak to melee, and a lot more awesome.

No, the caves themselves require nothing. The gold rocks do require 80 mining.

Jagex has yet to get around to fixing this. As far as I know it is not an intentional change, just a feature they forgot to implement.

It's possible but not confirmed that cmaul is simply the best for all melee, since all slash/stab weapons are either weaker or dual-wield. Royal and Zaryte beat thrown weapons for sure.

Yes it works, it's great xp, it's not too expensive, and it's lovely combined with mining as Shady said. It's considered to be the best way of training mining, smithing (and magic) together.

[hide] Loot from 1m xp (only vines & herb seeds, not the other seeds).[/hide] Three more.

I think void mostly needs a high-level upgrade, something like elite void but level 60 or 70. As much time as it takes to get, it's still fairly cheap, especially considering the top is a quest reward (from an easy quest I might add). The remaining 1250 Pest Points take about 10-15 hours, but you also get a bit of combat xp, and you can get void way before your moneymaking exceeds 2m/h (80s melees, no overloads, no turmoil, no unicorn). That puts the price at under 20m for the whole set. For top-tier melee, ranged and magic gear, together, that's a bargain. With that prayer bonus, and not degradeable either?

1 overload (extreme/regular mage pot), 3-4 pray pots (penance aura), ice barrage runes, rest rocktails. I think TokHaar-Hok is insulted you call him TzHaar, so maybe that's your problem.

Use fsh. In order for Bandos helm to be better, it'd need to get a ridiculous strength bonus, in the order of hundreds.

No. There is no reason to use any helmet besides the (full) slayer helmet when on task. There used to be, with Dharok's, but that got nerfed and the effect no longer works for abilities.

You have the stats to get there theoretically but it would be fairly tough. With a tortoise, it's already easier - kyatt might work too. I would definitely suggest you try her out (do the quest of course). The final phase is hardest and you don't need to finish that. For your stats, I think you want to get your best ranged top/legs, ranged dragonfire shield, a borrowed Armadyl crossbow, rely on defensive abilities to survive and bring lots of rocktail plus a couple of pray pots.

Do as much of the Scythe as you can, and spam bamboo to finish your last voyages if you're short on time. Not sure if it has been mentioned, but if you refuse a double mission and send off one adventurer, the double mission will get replaced by a single for the other adventurer.
