1) Spec recovers with stews, until you feel comfortable making superantifires with stews.
2) 2h with berserker.
3) Use a team. Team only with friends until level 80+, then sign up for the TIF dungeoneers list.
1) Is it easy getting a +4 boost? And should I use 2 or 3 spices to try for a +4 boost?
2) Should I be getting a specific level of berserker, or is 1 or 2 good?
3) Thanks! I'll get working on that.

1) Ok, so I have the supplies for 80 herblore (lots and lots of unfinished antifire pots). What should I make for 80-85? I have a budget of under ~30m, since I was an idiot and didn't know antifires were going down.
2) Which is better in dungeoneering, a spear or a 2 hand?
3) I have 49 dungeoneering, and I would like ~85-87. What would the best way of doing that be? I can't get on much on weekdays though. (If you suggest "use a team", that doesn't help me at all, since I don't know where to find a team. At all.)
Thanks in advance!

If you're doing herb runs I would highly reccomend getting a scroll of life. It's a dungeoneering reward which, I think costs 10-12k tokens so if you have some tokens lying around/enjoy dungeoneering I would say get it. If you farm herbs like snapdragons, or torstols (just at trollheim patch), it is even better to get for every seed saved is money in you're pocket along with your farmed herbs.
Hmm, that sounds nice. How long would it take to get 10k or so tokens at 49 dung, soloing the dungeons? I'm no good in a team because I lag a ton, and all the monsters are dead before I can do anything.
-
Hmm, I would suggest making mith bars out of the bars, and then maybe making unfinished mith bolts and selling (if you're still a member) or making mith plates (if you can. If you can't, then just sell the bars) and alching them.
You could burn the willow logs, though that might take a long time. If you do decide to go firemaking, use the money from the bolts/plates/bars that you smithed or alched, and buy maple logs. You could also fletch the willow logs into unstrung bows just for junk (again, if you're still a member).
Also, I don't know your cooking level, so I suggest you get it up to ~60 or 70, if it's not already there.
However, it's purely up to you. You might even decide to get your runecrafting level up and go play GOP for tokens to spend when (if) you become member again.

Here's an up to date profit per patch table: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators/Farming_herbs
Also, use supercompost on the troll patch. It not only helps to prevent disease, but also lets you harvest a LOT more herbs from the patch. With supercompost you get a minimum of 5 herbs per patch and up to like 19. Without supercompost you'll get drastically fewer.
Oh, thanks!
I didn't know about that calc, so I'll be using that.
I also didn't know that supercomp also increased the yield, I always just got around 5-6 with and without it.
-
I've decided that since I can get on once or twice a day that I can grow herbs while I'm at school and whatever.
So, which would be the best for me to farm?
I use supercompost except on the troll patch, and my farming level is 70.
Ie, which is the most profitable at my level, and when should I grow more profitable herbs?
-
Basically what the title says. Not minimum, but not 99 in everything. Around the middle. (I hope I explained that correctly :/)
Also, what's a good setup of gear and inv, for the "good" levels?
EDIT: My levels don't matter, I dunno why I put them in. :P

Ok. I've got this linuxbox in my room, and I'm wondering if I can play RUneScape on it.
Stats:
OS: Linux KDE 5.0 (or something like that, dad says it's the newest version)
Processor: Intel® Celeron® CPU 2.13GHz (Single core)
Memory: 512 MB RAM
Graphics: Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller
I'm hoping that I can play RuneScape on this, but the last time I tried, it didn't even load the game page.
It should play, perhaps not well. ?25,26,880,61452020,goto,1"]This post on RSOF might be of interest.
My laptop has half as much RAM and a 1GHz P3 processor, and is able to manage on the lowest settings.
Hmm, really? Cool!
The java's messed up though, so I can't test it. :(
Also, your link's broken.
-
Fail, you can't add more ram onto a mac? :/
Well, there goes that idea.
It does have to be a mac, because my dad hates windows computers for some odd reason.
Meh, I'll just get a laptop, or figure out how to get my linuxbox to run runescape.
The Java on that's messed up somehow, and won't load the game screen.
I edited the first post with the info for my linux comp, so I have some questions about that.
-
Ok dokie. I'm getting ~3-6 fps while playing RS on my desktop mac (OS 10.4.11).
I've got this currently in it:
Processor: 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4
Memory: MB DDR SDRAM
Video card: No idea how to find what it is.
I figure that I need to upgrade one, two, or all three of these things to run faster.
Any suggestions?
I don't have the cash to get a brand new comp though.
Also, I took a look for RAM on Google, but I dunno what I need to get, or what.
Thanks in advance!

I'm estimating the costs here.
Cooking: 10-15m
Fletching: 10m?
Firemaking 45(ish)-99: 5m?

Hmm, How long does it normally take to get an Arc Stream? I've already bought a coal bag with my points, and, as you can see, I'm only 49 dung. Is there a good (ish) team I can get into to get the level for an Arc Stream, or will it take more than a few weeks, playing ~1 hour per day?
Summary: Is there a good team I can get into at 49 dung, and how long will it take to get an Arc Stream, playing ~1 hour per day?
If it takes more than a few weeks, I might just use a glory, and use the rest of the gear you suggested.

Nope, 9.2.
I haven't gotten around to asking my dad to install the newest version for me.
-
I am clicking the button that says update on it, with "A newer version of the iPod software is avaliable (version 4.1). To update your iPod with the latest software, click Update."
I don't really know why it erased all my files/back up, maybe it was just a fluke on my part.
Hmm, no jailbreak for 4.0.2 yet? Ok. I'll have to try the one for 4.1 when it comes out, see if I like it. If I don't, I can always go back, right? (I hope so :P)
-
Errr... It's a 64 gig 3rd gen one.
Also, last time I upgraded (to 4.0.2), it erased my backups, and not just everything on the 'pod.
So, if I jailbreak it, and it doesn't work, and I restore it, I'll get the warranty back? (I read somewhere that you lose the warranty when you jailbreak it).
-
Ok, so there's this new iOS 4.1 out, and last time I upgraded the firmware, it erased my iPod stuff.
Has anyone used the new iOS yet, or can you direct me to a place where people posted their thoughts on it?
Also, would it be worthwhile to jailbreak my iPod, considering I still have ~8 months left on the iPod warranty?
What are some pros and cons of jailbreaking it, and, if I decide to, how would I go about doing it?

[hide=tl-dr below, but here is the proof of whats stated there]Consider that, on a GOOD team, the average large dungeon is 40 minutes for ~6k tokens. Thus, you need 5.67 hours to get all the tokens. If you also consider time it would take to rush through the early floors and leave some room for error, you could round that up to 6 hours. So it takes 6 hours to get Bonecrusher/Herbicide.
Anyone can make 1m/hr, so at MINIMUM, you are paying 6m for that bonecrusher or herbicide, and unlike items, you cannot sell them back.
Then consider that the bonecrusher is really only going to be working on bones and big bones, with a bias toward bones, so let's say the average bone you crush gets you 7-8 prayer xp.
For 6m, you can get nearly 400k prayer xp with dbones. That's equivalent to about 57k bones. Ask yourself, are you going to go kill 57k monsters? If the average slayer task is 170 monsters, that's 335 slayer tasks, and then consider that for all dragon tasks you won't want it active, and most slayer monsters don't even drop bones of any kind. Suddenly, you may find yourself needing double that amount of slayer tasks (about 700 tasks) to merely make the bonecrusher a worthwhile buy. If you assume each task gives 20k slayer xp, you'll find that you have more than enough xp to get 99 slayer.
All for 400k prayer xp that you can achieve in about 2 hours?
And remember, that's if you're relatively poor and can only make 1m per hour. Good players, especially those with 99 slayer, can get as high as 2m or 3m per hour, and I've heard even 5m per hour. Assuming a "modest" 3m per hour, you pay 18m for the bonecrusher, equal to over 1.1m prayer xp, or 161k+ monsters and 1.9k slayer tasks required to "pay-off" the bonecrusher. That's 38m slayer xp. Any idea how LONG that's going to take you?
A lot longer than the 4-5 hours needed to get 1.1m prayer xp, I'll tell you that.
Herbicide is similar. If you take away herbs that you don't want to burn (lantadymes, irit, kwuarm, ranarr, etc) that's an average of about 21 herb xp per herb burnt. If you are paying 18m for the herbicide, that's about 600k herblore xp you want to compensate for. That means you are going to need over 67k herb drops to pay off the herbicide (after considering that not every herb drop will be one you want to burn). Even if you killed Aberrant Spectres all day and every single drop was an herb drop, that would take you hundreds of hours to complete, and you can get 600k herb xp in less than 2 hours with Overloads, and in about 7-8 hours with prayer potions.
And this is assuming you always have a good, sub-40 minute large team and your prestige is near maxed!. For example, if you used w117 teams, which take about 75 minutes per large, the cost you pay for the bonecrusher/herbicide nearly doubles, and thus you near double the time to pay off buying it. If you only have 35 prestige, you'll only average about 4k tokens per dungeon, and thus you'll need over 33% more time.

tl;dr
I can't think of a single reason why you would want it. It's a remarkable waste of tokens, a hassle to bring to training/slayer locations (upsetting otherwise perfect setups and forfeiting some drops because you need 1 more invent space), and a waste of time and money. You could say "it makes life easier", but it really doesn't. You need HUNDREDS of hours to justify spending those tokens. Ask yourself, is it easier to spend 2 hours getting the xp it's going to give you in hundreds? Or are you going to go through the hassle of completing lesser floors, finding a team, dealing with noobs on the team, finally saving up enough tokens in over 10/15, maybe even 20 hours of Dungeoneering (considering you are level 45), then go out to kill ____ monster or slay for hundreds of hours just for the pleasure of "not having to pick up and bury bones", a skill that you can do ANYWAY?
Of course, this entire argument is moot if you have enough tokens that you bought Chaotic Rapier, Chaotic Maul, Chaotic Crossbow, Scroll of Life, Rigour, Augury, and Chaotic Staff, all of which are better buys (heck, nearly everything is a better buy, but those are the most useful) than Herbicide/Bonecrusher. Getting all of those items easily lands you at about ~93 Dungeoneering. If you have over 93 Dungeoneering and got enough tokens to take your daily bath in, go for it.
Otherwise, to hell with it.
Aah, but you forgot one thing (that I could see)
For the 6 hours training DG, you could make the cash to get 400k pray xp, yes? Then it takes 2 hours to use a gilded altar to actually get the xp. So, in total, it doesn't take 2 hours to "get" the xp, it takes around 8. And that's if you're only making 1m an hour.
However, I do have to agree with you in saying that the only time you get a bonecrusher is when you have enough tokens that you could wallpaper the entire internet.

I should really put my stats in my sig, hmm...

I've got 82 magic at the moment, and I'd like to get it higher.
I've got an SoL, Ahrim's hood/top, Dagonhai robes, Mystic boots, barrows gloves, chaos gaunts, seer's ring, glory, and a zammy book.
What tasks are good to mage, and what spell should I use?
For normal training, I used fire bolt on iron dragons, banking and selling the bones. However, since I am gathering bones for 95 prayer (slowly) that isn't a very viable option anymore. What's a good monster to kill for xp AND profit, and what spell should I use?
NB: I cannot stand alching, stunning, stunalching, other various non-combat training of magic. I'm willing to give it a try if it's something I haven't dome before, but it I get too bored really fast, I'll probably stop doing it.
Thanks in advance!

This was my setup:
Equipment:
Archer's helm charged with kyatt scrolls
Glory
Karil's top and bottom
Snakeskin boots
Barrows Gloves
Rune Crossbow
Zammy Book
Archer's ring
Ava's Accumulator
Ruby Bolts (e)
Inventory:
12 super Restores
Kyatt pouch and ~300 Kyatt Scrolls (in the tort)
War Tortoise and the rest of my inv fulled with brews (32)
I suggest you take a terrorbird with brews, and a few less rests.
When he got to his berserker stage, I summoned my kyatt, set the right click option on the summoning bubble thingy to "Special Attack" and jsut spam clicked that, while letting him melee me. I brewed when I needed to, but didn't use any restores during that time.
I also prayed sap warrior and sap mage while he was maging me, then when he went berserk, I used sap warrior and deflect melee (not sure it that made a difference or not). If you don't have curses yet, or don't want to use them, I suggest using the protect prayers and eagle eye on him.

The question in the title isn't the whole question though.

Aah, around 5 times, total.

So all of my friends are going to solo Bandos a bunch, and they're mostly lower leveled than me.
My question is, can I solo any boss efficiently with my stats?
If not, what stats should I get, and what gear? I've got ~19m to play around with, in cash, and I've got a dfs, whip, zammy spear, range/melee void, torso, karil's top/bottom, rune def, verac skirt, black dragonhide top/bottom, torag's top, SW cape, Nezzy helm.
I'm willing to raise my combat stats (excluding prayer, at the moment) to get the levels to solo efficiently.
My experience with bosses:
Bandos: I tried a solo here, but I kinda failed (died while the boss was at half hp).
TDs: I can get ~3 kills a trip, but that may be because I fail at pray switching and whatnot.
Mole: Durrr. Easy boss.
KBD: No idea how well I can do on him, haven't tried in a while.
Zamorak: Been to him in masses a few times, got nothing all that good.
Armadyl: Never been there.
Saradomin: Can't get there.
Corp: Been there once in a mass, left after the first kill.
DKs: No ide what to do, what levels I need, or what.
KQ: Been there in a mass once.

[hide]...however, I don't have the skills needed to do it :(
1) What should I burn for 70-71 firemaking? I can burn both shades and vyrewatches, would burning them be a good idea?
2) What should I craft for 67-70 crafting? I have level 2 Varrock armour at the moment, if that means anything.
3) What should I make for 67-70 smithing?
I have a budget of ~4m at the moment, but I can make more (somehow).
EDIT: I have 80 herblore at the moment.
Would it be wise to try and boost (yay stews!) to 84 and make a few spec restore pots for use in the battle vs the Void Queen?[/hide]
I can't kill the pest queen! I'm using a full tort and an inv of rocktails, and I ran out of food fast.
Inv: super att/def/str, chipped house tab, 2 p pots, and the rest rocktails.
Gear: Korasi's sword, rune def, nezzy helm, warrior's ring, barrows gloves, dragon boots, soulwars cape, glory, fighter torso, and black d'hide legs.
Any suggestions?
I decided to not use spec restore pots, as it's really hard to get the boost.
