Darkvengence

Got a few things to point out -You have a few suggestions about equipment wrong, but Abby pointed them out. -A rather unknown and pretty much costless alternative for your boots can be Jester Boots -Not bringing Ruby Bolts(e) if you're above 85 Range is rather pointless, you should always take both Ruby(e) and Diamond(e), in fact the majority of teams require them. -Unless your going with a really bad team your going to need way more pouches that that if you intend to stay until your potions run out. (Especially if you're using a Unicorn) -You're going to need more Super Restore or Prayer Potions, especially if you're praying Eagle Eye. -You didn't mention Enhanced Excalibur, since there's hardly any other spec weapon you can use besides Dark Bow which is rubbish at Armadyl, it's really worth taking. -Hilts haven't been 64m for a very long time -You should include the Elysian/Divine/Spectral Spirit Shield as well as the Blessed Spirit Shield

I've asked related questions before but I finally got another solo Armadyl hilt last night so that leaves me more than enough money to do Rock Lobsters to 99 Mage and 99 Summoning without having to sell anything and have a good amount left over, so I'm going to start on this probably within a few days or next week. I have several different questions and I put each of them into hide tabs just because it's a little more neat and organized. [hide=Equipment and Inventory] So here's my gear I plan on using, I already have all of these things from before so cost of the items doesn't matter, if there's something I should swap please say so. Just a few notes about my equipment. -I do not have access to the Imbued rings -I do not want to get a seers ring (I just don't see the point) -I do not own a SGS currently and do not plan to get one soon -I'm not sure if I should bring prayer gear for luring, if so what should I bring ==== Inventory, well I have no clue what to take at all, so if you could cover everything I need that would be nice. Also I do not have extreme magic potions. [/hide] [hide=Spot] I've seen people say that the spot at the U bend (I believe people refer to this as the "9 lob" spot?) is the best, but I would just like some verification on that. Also if above mentioned spot is the one I should use I have also heard the RT5 update complicated something with the spot, not sure what I just remember someone saying that a long time ago. [/hide] [hide=Statistics] -What is the exp/hour for Bursting AND Barraging -The average casts/hour is roughly 600? Here's my current mage exp; 3,677,908 Using Andy's AoW guide and some quick math I got that I needed.. -23.5k Bursts to 94 Magic -21.2k Barrages to 99 Magic Basically I just want to know if above numbers are approximately correct. [/hide] That's all that I can think of at 2AM, I might come with some more questions later on.

I've played for several years but took roughly a year long break starting in mid 2008, and came back in late July 2009. I remember they used to do a news article every month with the updates planned for that month and so on. I've noticed they didn't do them anymore, but did they state why? Or do they still do it but just not put on the main page?

What is that supposed to mean.. lol If you referring to my post and that the quote is bold it's because he typed it bold.

That would be the house next to McGrubbers woods in Seers.

Baxtorian Falls would be best for range I think as there's several safe spots. Just a magic shortbow or some knives will be fine.

Yep, purely their special And seeing how they only need 60 Attack to wield it's available to a broader range of players including certain pures.

Everything he said is more or less right, except don't bother bringing range potions. Waste of space pretty much with having to use brews constantly. (You use Brews tons more on a Duo than you do on Trio)

Why is the link to another forum? Seems to me your just trying to advertise that forum.

My friend is saying Jagex stated they would be doing a high level update for Prayer before 2010. Does anyone know anything about this, preferably where they actually said it.

Yup, that's pretty standard in just about all Armadyl teams.

Yes, he's one of the new ones.

Defiantly.

I personally wouldn't know as I never did Armadyl until I was already maxed, but if all your after is a one kill or possibly two you should be able to do it.

404'ed. Accidentally typed a Q in there, fixed.

That makes like no sense lol.. A dose of Restore every 3 doses of Brew is a lot simpler and easier. And about above losses I don't pick up bars because I very rarely get a 1:1 ratio, I would normally only get about 20-30, plus I don't have the room for them. I use 10-11 Restores, 29 Brews, two Tortoise pocuhes, two Unicorn pouches, 25-50 Unicorn scrolls, 45-65 Ruby bolts, 75-115 Diamond bolts, house tele tab, 4 Law runes, 4 Fire runes That's a total of 514k supplies used per trip. And I've somewhat often gone a whole trip getting less than 50k loot, 50k is not guaranteed.

You pray range. And it's that that dangerous, I do it all the time with a unicorn, keep my HP around 20 ish, as long as it's above 11 you should be ok.

Yup, if you do a 4:1 ratio at 99 Range it'll leave you at 93 ish Range, then keep going down.

I've used it before on various tasks just when I got bored or I was felt like using it. An example was a Suqah tasks I did earlier today with it, it may not be faster or more efficient but it's certainly less boring. Also I've found it nice to use on Waterfiends, they have a max hit of 11 with Mage and you can two-hit them a lot of the time.

If you're low on cash soloing Armadyl won't help unless you get a drop, I lose roughly 300k-400k each trip for 5-6 kills.

Not sure on how many kills you would get as I never soloed until I was already 99 Range and Defence. I'm getting KC for a duo right now and the inventory is pretty much the same as my solo one so I'm going to post it. -I have Ruby Bolts (e) equiped -Replace the Prayer potion with another Super Restore -300 Bolts is over kill for a solo but I like to take a lot -I have 17 Brews and 1 Unicorn pouch in my Tortoise (Replace with Fruit Bat if you don't have Unicorn) -Try to keep about a 3:1 brew/restore ratio with maybe one extra restore -You can choose to take an EE but I personally don't like it for solos -Replace with whatever you have/can afford (If you can only afford one Armadyl peice I would suggest Armadyl skirt and Zammy D'hide Top) -Zammy item is not completely needed but it's nice to have -Depending on what you wear it might be a good idea to replace Fury with a Glory because Fury protects over a lot of the more expensive stuff

CamStudio Only giving you the link because I hate how when someone asks something they say "Read my guide" or "Google it"

If your going to use a free recorder I really wouldn't use Hypercam, the best free alternative right off the top of my head would be CamStudio.

I think you can cannon 25 hp monsters faster than you can chin 110 hp monsters. :unsure: I'm not going to get into an argument here but just off the top of my head I couldn't think of a place that a high enough concentration of skeletons.

It would be, also slower though. But that's not what I asked :)
