people say the equation for the xp is roughly (lvl^3)/20 so it won't go over 100k for dungeoneering

Eastern lands. That's what jagex said they were planning to work on once the main questlines on our current continent are exhausted. I can't imagine there's anything bigger than the Dragon kin storyline anyways.

oh god you've been gone for AGES havent you Black mask: +15% Melee accuracy and damage on slayer task Focus Sight: +15% Ranged accuracy and damage on slayer task Hexcrest: +15% Magic accuracy and damage on slayer task Slayer Helmet: +15% Melee accuracy and damage on slayer task and the defence of a rune full helmet. It's made from a black mask + some other items. Full Slayer Helmet: +15% to Melee/Ranged/Magic accuracy and damage on slayer task and the defence of a rune full helmet. It's made from a slayer helmet + focus sight + hexcrest RFD Gloves - best combat gloves in the game, period you get them from the Recipe for Disaster quest. you can also get new weapons and trinkets from the new dungeoneering skill These don't cost money to buy, you buy them with "Dungeoneering tokens" which you earn while training dungeoneering. Gem bag (holds 100 gems) Bonecrusher (automatically buries any bones from monsters you kill for prayer xp) Chaotic Weapons (lvl 80 weapons, best in the game, but potentially expensive to repair) Chaotic Shields (lvl 80 shields, potentially expensive to repair) Antipoison totem (roughly a rune kiteshield that prevents you from getting poisoned) Arcane Stream Necklace (+15% magic damage)

Dh at low hp actually isn't faster DPS than a whip in many cases either :P

abyssal whip is fine, it's what you should be using. Verac's Skirt Dragon Boots Rune Defender Slayer Helmet/Black Mask Barrows gloves or next best option ring -> you can afford a berserker, but warrior's ring is good, particularly good for low attack levels. amulet -> Glory or fury, once again up to you on how much you spend I would recommend prosy platebody and that you piety your slayer tasks. Any player can make ~ 500k in daily activities between MTK, and various shops 500k should be enough for 3 hours of piety a day, depending on prayer bonus. at the very least use the +10% or +15% strength prayer. but yeah rune... shouldn't be used in p2p :)

haha that's like the 3rd time i forgot about that It's your avatar :o, keeps tricking me.

[spoiler=Spoiler] There is every few things i agree with MHL with but i agree it does seem like Jagex has gotten into this idea that without adding something new several times a month people will stop playing runescape. A great deal of the recent updates(not all of them just alot) for the past year or 2 have a "this has been added so we can say we added it and keep our players, playing for another 2 weeks until we add something else" feel to them. But like MHL said as parts most updates are fun to play but as a whole they dont really fit together well to create something that is greater then the sum of its parts. MHL has good comments now and then. Just try to ignore the rest. I usually skip anything he says that is longer than 3 lines long. I'm dying to know if skeletal monkeys drop effigies. I want 99 ranged afterall, and if they dropped loads of effigies on the way there, all the better I suppose the same applies to rock lobsters

I can't imagine range void being worth it. it takes 7 hours and it has a +10% ranged strength bonus? you'd have to range for *at least* 70 hours to justify an investment like that much more to start profiting off it. at my level, i'd get 99 ranged long before that happens. That and void range is fairly useless against most boss monsters, due to their high defense. black dhide, armadyl, etc is still better than void range on plenty of monsters. that and you can't wear void range with a slayer helmet. the number of scenarios where void range is too few. Unless you plan on going 70-99 range on nothing but living rocks or something else with comparably pathetic defense or unless you just like collecting stuff. I'd advise against it.

Well, knowing Mck, He'd probably have better things to spend what little money he has, than on bandos. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with pietying in Bandos, perfectly efficient at some incomes. but the relative benefit for the investment is low, and unless you have 500m+, there are probably more productive things to invest money in. If i do a quick calculation, the relative benefit of bandos over prosy whilst pietying/turmoiling is about 10-50k gp/hour at incomes of 1-3 mil gp/hour You'd have to slay for ALOOT of hours to get even a 1mil return on your investment. whereas that 40m could be invested in GE for something more substantial.

My Runecrafting Spreadsheet isn't complete yet, but it's fairly accurate. make sure you use the tab for large pouch + summon, since you can't use giant pouches yet Abyss + death runes starting at lvl 65 is actually pretty good, compared to what is available, assuming 1 mil gp/hour income.

I'm not sure I like how Jagex rallied their playerbase to vote <_< last time

I would use prosy top + verac skirt over bandos top + bottom, since it's worthwhile to turmoil/piety ardy cape 3 and/or soul wars cape are must haves if you piety/turmoil your tasks too the only tasks I use karils on are waterfiends and mithril dragons

I''ve heard rumours of ppl having 2 at once. And rumours of it not being able. My suspicion is if u have a starving on u cant get another. But if you done atleast the first "feeding" you can get another a guy in Lady H's clan chat said he got 4 effigies in a single ice wyrm task, so i'm inclined to believe that multiple effigies are possible I'm personally curious if the same type of effigies will stack in the bank. I'm planning to stockpile them as long as my patience can hold out.

your hunter level is just low each time the ferret runs through a trap, there is a CHANCE that the ferret will be caught sometimes it's frustrating because the ferret will just run through alot of them. You can also attempt to ambush the ferret and catch it by hand.

almost everything :) I think it's moreso a question of what monsters DON'T drop effigies. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_effigies

speak to: Vannaka, Reldo, or Rat Burgiss depending on if you have varrock armor 3,2, or 1 respectively http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Varrock_Diary

Nah you can bank effigies, i got one and banked it last night you can't bank dragonkin lamps, which is how the rumour started i believe.

All demons are weak to magic so it's a good idea to fire surge tasks like abyssal demons nechyraels are chinnable aberrant spectres are cannonable for profit greater demons + hellies + gargoyles in kuradal's dungeon can be ranged reasonably with rune darts other than that I can't think of any other places I'd use ranged.

there is no need for mousekeys if you play on HD with the appropriate settings by pressing F4 repeatedly, you can open and minimize your spellbook tab. just make sure your STUN spell sits atop your target then you won't even need to move your mouse.

Yes (click here) And crafting too And everything else too

but the best method available to you is basically SC hammers + iron knives, the steel darts mentioned beforehand, or like... cannonballs these methods will take you like 25 hours to get 350k measly smithing xp! you complain about being tired of "whats the fastest/cheapest way to level X of skill Y" threads but let me tell you, ur gonna be tired of these smithing training methods too if you use them >_<.

for crafting you could always: collect redberries convert them into red dyes kill highwaymen for capes use the red dyes on the capes for crafting xp it'll only take you about 350k capes to get to 70 crafting, but hey, at least it's cheap! but on a serious note, I have no idea why you would want to limit yourself on money for buyable skills. making gold bars into jewelry profits other jewelry also makes profit SOMETIMES, depending on the economy. other than that, you basically don't have any good ways to train crafting on such a tiny budget. Aside from dyeing capes or spinning flax. steel darts are okay for your budget (except it's still a horribly stupid idea) but you might as well use SC hammers. but seriously, this "twist" is stupid. quit trolling >:!

I wonder what LVL requirement the 5k xp lamp has. If jagex releases another skill like dungeoneering, where the skill just starts off soo slow. a 5k xp lamp *could* be worth it if the lvl requirement is really low.

very nice youtube video. I won't replace whip with rapier though. The spinolyps + multicombat mean that the rapier will cost me like 500k gp/hour in repairs.

Pure alching and nothing else... is like one of the worst ways to train magic Supply and demand. Everybody trains with alchemy (usually with bows instead of less commonly used items) because they don't have the brains to think of something better to do. thus high demand, making alchemy a MUCH less efficient training method than less commonly known/used spells.
