As an additional note, keep in mind that things like 99s and high levels (at least, in the way you describe wanting them) will take quite a long time and some serious effort. Try not to set your goals too high starting out--but other than that, questing, as others of said, is a great way to start rounding yourself out and familiarizing yourself with Runescape. It'll also help you figure out what you like to do. ^.^

What are your levels, and what do you usually do/are currently doing in RS? By 'good armor' design do you mean looks, or effectiveness? That will help get your question answered when you let us know :P

You're not wrong in thinking that, since productivity takes effort into account. However, you are wrong in assuming that the lack of effort is worth 60k xp/hour - you can't assume everyone values laziness as much as you do. Mmm, I do value my laziness. ^.^ But seriously, I've been out of the WC loop for a while, and I'm still getting back into the game. I gave some simple, easy to follow advice and Tieszen gave better/more efficient advice, I'm perfectly okay with that. I'll try to keep efficiency in mind a little more with any future help I try to give. :D

My apologies, I include effort as part of something being "best." :P

Multiple attempts at logging into the world has worked for me in the past (Or wait for a little while, to get 'unlocked' from the server).

The above are all true, so in summary: Emails claiming to be the Jagex team and accusations that you are banned are false, these are phishing scams designed to try to steal your account. Never click any links in these emails. (I have recieved many of these emails, and in total it has said I've been banned through every possible way over 30 times each, and I've never even been muted XD) If your email is different from what you remember, either a friend of yours with your password changed it, a hacker changed it, or you remembered the wrong email. Change it if any of the above apply. F2P players are no longer on the hi-scores. **If you've been playing since 2006, you don't need your email to login, it only needs the username you gave the account when it was made, and the current password** And last, but not least, don't click Runescape "links," just go the webpage yourself (type it in).

For pure exp, Ivy is the best, and it gives an okay profit from bird's nests, so it's not completely profit-less. For fletching, you can fletch maple longbow(u)s all the way to 99 and make a profit while doing so (just sell the bows after cutting the logs, no need to string). Edit: Ivy is exactly the same as it's always been.

I believe 6.10 is in beta and requires a manual download/install, but if it works still, then it's okay, I suppose.

Does it work with other browsers? If so, from what I've seen/heard, Google Chrome needs Java version 6.10 to run java applets (especially if your java hasn't updated recently). If it doesn't help, let me know, I'll keep an eye out.

Woodcutting and Fishing are very inefficient moneymakers as of right now (not that they were ever that great). Dragon Defenders (shield), Chaotic weapons, and the like are pretty solid choices, and whips are still okay, but Vine Whips improve them. Godswords don't have a lot of actual use right now, just a little niche usage. Bandos armor is good, but certain barrows pieces work as well/better in certain situations. Royal dragonhide armor is out for rangers (high level range armor). It'd probably be a good idea to do some research on things either on the guides here, or playing the game and checking things out a bit. (As said above, the beta is expected to cause armor/weapon prices to shift dramatically, so be conservative on your purchases)

At least everyone has (some form of) opportunity to check out the Member's world, now. It's a marketing ploy just as much as SoF is.

You either overestimated your account's levels/cash or you or someone else botted on the account and it got rolled back. I'd guess it's the former rather than the latter, but if you are particularly worried about it, change your info.

You can have multiples of each egg, but can only incubate the next one if the current is fully grown and stored in the POH menagerie.

Make sure you click the verification link through the email they sent (to the email you have registered to the account). I don't think there's much of a delay on it. That's about all I've got for it--If you have multiple accounts, make sure you're checking the right email. You can also, I believe, subscribe to a full membership once you have that trial, and it will tack the number of days left on the trial onto the amount you paid for. Edit: It could also be something up with their systems, although I have no idea how that works. At worst, you can just wait for a little while and see if it starts working.

So, I'm currently sitting on a rather large number of Dreadnips, and I'm curious as to where/how I should be using them. I know they can be beneficial in the Fight Kiln, but other than that, I'm in the dark regarding their uses. Thanks in advance for the help. ^.^

I wouldn't worry too much about profiting with cooking; it's not exactly a money-making skill. If you get tired of doing monks/swords/etc., you can start Sharks at 90 or 91, with cooking gauntlets you will rarely burn them. If you're particularly worried about it, just wait until 92. Rocktails stop burning at 94 with Cooking Gauntlets, and you profit (assuming buy/sell at mid) around 80 gp each (2240 per inventory).

There should be a skip button, somewhere (unless the account is brand new). I know I've seen one there. New accounts get the trial, I don't know anything about old accounts--I think if the account has never had membership that screen might appear. But yes, Jagex has started using email a lot more, there's not much of a way to get around it. If nothing else, you can make an email purely for Runescape emails/verifications. I'm pretty sure that sends you back to the login screen.

Yep, f2p has that downside. Jagex also heavily discourages Ad Blockers.

Pretty self descriptive, I'm looking to amass a decent (50-70m+) gold pile to work with. I have about 12m gold, full bandos + fury, and a few other items here and there. Ignoring exp in the process altogether, what's the most effective and fastest way for me to make money?

I've been out of the Runescape loop for about 7-8 months, and I'm about to become a member again. Before I did so, I wanted to check out some of the more major updates, particularly involving exp/hr for skills. So, as the topic states, has the exp/hr improved for skills in general?

Alter 'offer-all' is different from smithing 'make-all', it will actually keep offering bones if you withdraw bob while in the middle of offering. This. If you had 67 summoning, you could use a war tort over your terrorbird, as previously mentioned. That'll net you an additional 1.5k a trip. Plus, getting those summoning levels would help a *lot*.

That was the main one I was afraid of. Any suggestions for me?

So, I've been working towards the master quests and etc. for a while, mainly for the prospect of Prayer exp. Rather than give a list and what-not, I would like to know which quests I may need to raise my combat stats to complete. Any help is appreciated!

Not trying to nitpick, but with a gilded tea set + Crystal Saw, you can actually make a gilded altar at level 69. As others have said, Oak Larders would probably be your most reasonable fast experience. Make sure you use Morphic Hammers from Stealing Creation whilst you train. EDIT: Additional info in case you want it: Level 52 - Level 69 ---> 9,074 Oak Planks without SC Hammer. That's going to take 1135 Oak Larders, rounded up. It will cost about 3.65m if they buy for market price. (402) Level 52 - Level 69 ---> 4,537 Oak Planks with SC Hammer. That will only take 568 Oak Larders, rounded up. And of course, it will cost about half as much, around 1.82m.

Like I said, I sold the Guthix page (only 1) for about 1.4m more than its guide price of 912k, and it sold instantly. (That's a 153% increase) I don't know for sure *what* these should be selling for, so I'm a little anxious that I may be selling it for too low.
