Really good looking guide. I haven't read through it all yet. One thing is I wouldn't recommend novices no pray dharok, especially if they don't have 94 mage. Cool that you went back into the archive to see when Barrows was released? I made a forum post for it's fifth birthday earlier this year on the Runescape forums and it got flamed pretty bad. 1,000-1,500 trips is a pretty good barrows count. I find that 1,000 trips takes me 150-200 hours, with a profit of 200-400m.

Well they did take two and a half years to develop dungeoneering. They continually stalled the release date for a year and promised a great, new, inventive skill like nothing we'd ever seen before. Then I think they gave up and released a mini-game in it's place.

Hmm, I may settle for an Elysian if they aren't as much as trouble to obtain than a Divine.
I suppose I'll kill Frost Dragons while merchanting on the side for a more relaxed and constant method of making cash. Can anyone give me some pointers on merchanting, the rares market and confirm whether or not this is the best path to go? Thanks.
Elysian is around 1.1b street and Divine is around 1.6 or 1.7b. Both are hard to obtain either way, unless you have partyhats or other high street valued items. Obviously their grand exchange price isn't very different.
You could try merchanting frost dragon bones? You have to get familiar with item(s) and now how you can flip them :).

The average age is actually the average age people put down as their age. Considering our mental disabilities, we like to lie :).

I just did the wildy course all the way to 70. I know people who just preferred wildy course even all the way to 99. A penance horn really helps for training agility! :)

Yeah it's just the luck of the draw. Jagex hasn't updated in the farming besides the fairytale quests for a long long time. And it really needs an update! With 99 farming I do toadflax or kwuarm and more often than not have one patch dead.

I'm going to try to give you the best answer I can come up with here:
Free up most of your money for merchanting in the grand exchange, some easy commonly sold item, so you'll see a return of at least 1m or 2m on it a day, more as you make more money. Kill spiritual mages for clue and dragon boots drops, solo a few bandos kills a day, do some whip hunting and some barrows. Combine all this together to make sure you're making 3m+ a day. Then once you have the max price for a divine SIGIL, try to snipe it off the grand exchange by continually putting offer for max in grand exchange within 5 seconds of the price updates. Sigil goes up in ge every day because the shield itself is made from the sigil and the bss, which goes up or down in price every day, both pieces together must equal the price of the shield which doesn't often update in price.
Some new updates coming out may be better for money, like elite clues etc. I wouldn't suggest corping, you'll never get what you want.
This isn't a short-term goal from where you're at right now, decide if you really want to devote the time to this, there are rumors a dragon defender is coming out soon.

Everywhere I mine, I always lose when competing other miners. Everytime I click a rock, my character only starts to mine like 0.5seconds later (I'm not lagging) whereas the other character mines immediately.
I barely ever win a race when it comes to mining the ore, what do I do wrong :S?
If you're not lagging, then maybe you're exaggerating always being the one who loses the mini war over the iron ore?

Here's one chicken feather...
At a graduation party.
On holiday in Miami.
I'd ask to index these but I'm not sure what index is yet.
Oh thanks. I should have pressed "show" :).

I always see it everywhere. People just go around with this cavalier attitude. It irritates me sometimes more than other times. Younger and younger people play, the game gets bigger and lower leveled players get membership, all combining to create the current state of the community.
Right at this moment on RS someone asked to borrow my shield multiple times, I said no and he called me a "noob".

Most people just fish monkfish because of the money and xp. I know fishing monkfish is better cash than fishing sharks, especially at 88 fishing.

The 1000+ worlds don't really seem to do much of anything. In members, that's not that high. The same problems that people would want a level total world for are still present. The 60's and the 70's ask tons of questions and have the boldness to ask for borrows and levels for gear. 1500+ would help with that a lot. 2000+ and the world would be dead though.. lol.

I don't go speed dating or go on a kick to meet new people very often. The people I meet are associates at school or friends of friends. I have to do a lot of group projects at school so it means a lot of dealing with other people. When it depends on a grade, I don't care what they look like as long as they can work. As a few people have mentioned, hygiene and taking care of ones self is more important than looks in my book. They can't do better than the best they can do with what they have. The personalities end up being much more important in long relationships with someone. At first meet, I'll probably be more alert around someone I find attractive. They could be unattractive and intelligent and able to challenge me in areas I care about to keep me on my toes as well though.

70 range is helpful? Just a suggestion.

I hate to disagree with you, but do you really think the main reason things like party hats went up so much in price the the manipulation clans? Manipulators buy large quantities of a single item and then dump them to make as much profit as possible in as little time as possible causing a huge spike and then drop in price. Does that seem to be what's happening? The prices for high value rares like party hats have gone up to ridiculous prices due to the incredible amount if gp dumped into the economy by the 76k (or what ever it's called) PVP trick. Because there was such a large influx of disposable income into the game, the demand for, and the price of, highly sought after items went up. Even though it's been "fixed", there is still a large amount of gp flooding into the economy every day from it and will only cause the prices of these items to go up.
I hate manipulation clans as much as the next person, but they're hardly responsible for the continuing rise in prices of high-end items.
I know someone who bought two blues along with his clan when they bought out the GE months ago. An organized effort to hold rares hostage started months ago. It's no coincidence having to do with PVP that phats have been on the rise for months now. Whips and godswords are mostly the direct consequence of the faults in PVP. I chose a partyhat for an example of price manipulation because it has been on the rise for months straight. Perfect example of an item or group of items held hostage by manipulators.

When RL fails, come to my old favorite online community...this alias turned out to be handy after all...
I usually post really vague questions on here to avoid recognition, fell less shameless... However, I'm at crossroads, and I figured I could entertain you guys with a nice, long trip into my past.
About a year ago, I became best friends with this girl, and we became really close. We gradually started to flirt...she told me that she liked me, and I told her that I had felt the same way for a while. Things, for once in my (retrospectively pathetic) life, started to look up. Although, there was another guy she liked, too. He was a jerk, a pervert, and he just wanted in her pants. That wasn't just my judgment behind my blind eyes, either, but that was what he was known for. After a few more weeks of thinking about her all the time, feeling different about her than any other girl I'd liked, she told me she didn't like me, that I was more of a brother to her. (Imagine that!) And she started dating Jerkguy. It really hurt me.
That, along with other things, made me fall into a period of (serious, not attention-seeking) depression for a while...but I managed. While they were happy, I tried to move other another girl, but then failed in the friendzone again. That led to the end of the school year. That summer, I basically just punched life in the face. Sick of depression, sick of always failing, sick of being pathetic. And I matured and changed really fast. I'm not the pathetic, chubby, weird kid I once was a year ago. This year, I'm popular, I have girls going after me, and overall, I turned out to be pretty awesome. And, after a year of Jerkguy pressuring her to do things she didn't want to, eventually leading to a lot of controlling, and emotional strain, they broke up. Now, the girl, who has still, throughout that time, always been my best friend, and the one girl in my life that I can honestly say I unconditionally love, has now fallen for me.
I really don't know what to do. We're even closer this year, and she hates herself for the decision she made. I've forgiven her, and we've talked about it so much...I don't doubt her, don't doubt that I would be a rebound, or that she would screw me over again. We're so close, beyond just talking...and I want it to go somewhere.
As I've posted before, after the change, although being very success, I kinda lost faith in relationships. Couldn't imagine being with anyone on an intimate level, just because of being screwed over so much. I guess it was a learned self-defense, after never having a successful relationship. I dunno.
In my circle of really close friends, every single one of them are just telling me that this is a bad idea. Every single one of them. They say I'm being blind, that she's a flirt, she'll screw me over again, that I'll believe anything she says, that I need to find another girl, now that I'm a changed person. That I'm already in too deep. Get out now, because they don't want to see me get hurt again.
From my point of view, I would really rather just be with my best friend. Because I do love her, and because we both make each other really happy, and we have a connection I can't picture being able to share with anyone else. I don't think she'll screw me over again. I don't doubt her. I want to give her a second chance and be with her. When it comes down to it, I would really, really rather have her, then just throw all of it away to chase after some random girl that probably wouldn't work out anyways, which all of my close friends want me to do.
I'm at crossroads. What should I do?...
It doesn't sound like you've really changed. You lost some weight and have some girls after you. She knew you before you were depressed and she passed you up for this guy who's known as a jerk. It doesn't sound like you've had some metamorphosis. She decided to date the jerk over the pudgier, less popular you. She wants a relationship now. Ask yourself what's really changed? If she wants a relationship she passed up on a year ago with you now because you lost weight and got popular, that's no basis for a healthy relationship. Ask yourself why all your friends think she's a flirt? If you think about it objectively for a moment, you might realize she's just the flirt who chose the jerk over you when she had the chance.

The people at Jagex don't actually have to play their own game. Nearly all of their members will still pay for the game and the long term effects of manipulation clans doesn't really affect that. They don't see it as a big problem because most have stopped caring about the overall quality of the game. They cared in the earlier days of the game when they were trying to cultivate members, player feedback was valuable to them.
These manipulation clans are a huge problem to those who actually play the game. Take a look at the price of Purple Phats for example. They were 67m towards the beginning of the year and now they're 260m. This didn't happen organically. It was forced by clans buying up and holding on to all of the them, for no other reason than to hold the item hostage to make money off of it. All of these items will eventually crash and the effect of this spills over into most items in the game. These are people working directly against Jagex. Until Jagex realizes that, we all suffer.

It's pretty easy to get to Jad. That's the extremely easy part. Some people get to Jad and have no problem with him and then others take multiple tries. You'll be able to get a fire cape with your levels. It's more about practice and knowledge.

I used to use veracs on DH and just gun it no pray until the time I almost died. Now I only no pray if I'm ancienting too.
And to the above above poster, if dh gets you down to 1-100hp, you're in a lot of trouble if you can't eat fast enough before you get k0'ed.
