I regularly get over 2500 using ice/bloodburst, if the game turns into a stalemate. With full ahrim and 94 mage I hit a lot. Costs a lot in runes though Plus it tends to draw a lot of personal attention from the critters, so I sometimes die two or three times in a longer game, even with prayer on and 92 defense.

I was solo hunting the Kalphite queen when Hunter came out, and switching to chasing butterflies and wabbits seemed a bit like a noob thing. So I`m still lvl 1. I`ll prolly try it one day, see if it is fun. It is already clear I don`t have to do it for the rewards.

My best is 154. Trick: whenever the stream stops, wait a second before moving on. Often another blue stream comes, and thats faster collecting than chasing all over the cave.

The mage outfit bonus might be a bit overkill. I barrow with ancients, got 92 mage, wear full metal gear including shield, and wear zammy cape, farseer helm etc. to end up a -9 magic attack bonus/penalty with ancient staff, and hit the melee brothers 90% of the time. Yes their magic defense is that low. The melee outfit helps a lot keeping damage low in the tunnels, as most damage I get is from the vermin that lives there. For Karil`s you need a slightly better magic attack, I hit only 50-60% of the time with full melee outfit, but if I take off my metal armor and put up protect from range prayer, I hit most of the time. However, dds specs followed by whip kills Karil almost as fast and saves runes.

The total demand is the amount of money in circulation multiplied by the speed at which money is spent. People saving up on cash lowers the speed of spending. So people saving up money for a rare does slow down the speed in which money is spent a bit. The second thing slowing down general money circulation is the speed in which products are made. It takes time to chop 1K magics or mine 1K coal. Buyers have to wait until the producers are ready. Since rares are not produced but held and easily transfered, rares have little effect on this. The third thing that slows down money circulation is trading time. It takes time to buy and sell things. The time you spent on the forums and running around markets cannot be spent alching or producing. Production of new cash by alching however takes time too. As the total amount of gp increases, prices go up, and there comes a point where people start alching less because barrows and other activities make faster money than alching. I myself havent alched magic longs for months, doing other things instead, although I used to alch a lot in the past. There is another factor related to the economy: willingness to engage in the economy. Some activities, like questing or certain forms of training, do not require money. People doing those activities do not spend much money on those activities, and therefore have little interest in making it too. Players buy 2 types of goods: 1) goods they want but cannot make themselves. 2) goods that they could make themselves, but when prices are low enough, it is more efficient to buy the goods. What is a high price and what is a low price depends on the speed at which the player can make money himself. High level runecrafters can make a lot of money per hour, and when the price of essence dropped to below 30 a few weeks ago, there was little point in mining essence yourself, when it was more efficient to simply buy the essence and use the time saved on extra rcing, which made the player more money than he lost on buying the essence. When prices become too high, more and more players will simply do the work themselves, and the economy will slow down. Runescape economy has a unique point in that producing gives xp which is a valuable commodity in itself. Many raw materials have a higher value than the finished product, which is where RS economy differs from the real world economy.

I click the browser back button then the browser forward button. I have to login again, but it is the same server so it is quick (I always forget the number of the server I`m on).

I use it to spy on the neighbour girl taking a shower.

1)These dudes are in desert. So eventually you have to restock water supplies. 2)I have a max hit of 27 with whip. So hitting a 1 or 2 hp monster for xp is a bit inefficient. If I use the time wasted to get water on real targets, I`d get just as much xp, but dont have to be logged in for so long.

Mage arena gives god cape.

Just got killed by Jad...I got there on my 2nd attempt. It is not abolutely necessary to carry Guthan`s to get there. Blood blitz can be used for extra healing too. It is just 2 slots. Do remember to take off your ranger armor etc before shooting, because that will increase your hit chance. I`m 94 range, 72 prayer, lvl 90 magic, 96 hp. I carried 13 pray pot (4), holy wrench (not sure if that`s prudent), bloods&deaths, karils xbow with bolt racks, magic shortbow with bronze arrows (to save money; shooting expensive bolt racks at a lvl 180 that stands still against a corner is a bit of a waste. In retrospect I had better use more bolt racks instead and save the 2 spots for pray pots) and about a dozen tuna potato. I used up 1100 bolt racks, 1K bronze arrows, 500 deaths, 1000 bloods, and all my food and pray pots, but I arrived with almost full prayer and full hp at Jad. I swapped prayer too slow and got killed before my prayer ran out.

> Jagex could throw in that selling items for real life gp could be punishable by law. Jagex doesn`t make laws. Governments do.

> yes, the rares protect the economy from the effect of inflation NO THEY DONT Every time somebody buys a rare, the money only changes hands. The money is NOT destroyed. The seller can now use the money to buy other stuff.

you can get zammy full book back for free upstairs at the lighthouse tower. It will still have its pages.
