Oct's blog - 106/120 Slayer, 113 Magic!
Yet you still ended up texting me about it like 15 mins later :P My brother gets a great killrate and has basically none of the useful things for glacors (not even a fire titan) and uses fire wave too so they're very accessible regardless to be honest :) Thought I'd do a little update with my setup/inventory whynot, managing to easily push 60kills/hr now, I usually get slowed down by skype/disconnects :P Haven't updated the OP in a while, so here are additions since the last update: +859 kills, +10 effigies, +66 shards (crafted into runes), +Steads x3, + Glaiven, +Pengs x3 VERY happy with those :D managed to buy a virtus top with recent profits while keeping the rest of my gear (bandos/arma/spec etc) so thats a nice bonus, trying to gather a full virtus set because I dont really know why. ^Hourlong trip since that's how long the titan lasts, could fit more into it but that's about how long my concentration lasts too :P Setup tends to change all the time as I try to upgrade things, recently sold my arcane as an incentive to get up and finally get a CSB Upcoming goals: CSB (ohai EoE), 94 Runecrafting, Virtus robe bottoms

Glacors Set -up
Prayer shouldn't be an issue atall, it takes like 2 mins to bank if that. Were you using exactly that setup or something slightly different? Try: Full void mage (gloves) w/csb, asn, and chaotic staff Switch to: Fury, rapier, ddef, melee helm and then back when you're back on the glacor Void isn't really important for killing the glacor, its more useful to speed up killing the glacytes, which are often the slow part of the kill. What familiar are you using? Alternatively, you could go with full ahrims instead of void, and just switch to defender+rapier+fury for glacytes. You should be able to survive easily with a unicorn+soulsplit, and with practise just on soulsplit, so there isn't a need for defence really

YUM!

Solo K'ril
Something along the lines of this tends to work for me, though this is usually for tanking for a team. Take one less ovl, though I doubt you'll use all three. Its a bit overkill on rests, try for the usual 3:1 ratio as usual, claws are better than an eee of course so long as you're willing to risk it, and soulsplit flash whenever possible. Bring a defender switch for minions and try stay on a fairly high popn world. As for your setup, I'd switch out soul wars cape for an ardy cape 4 or even fire cape, you dont need to go overkill on prayer bonus really. As for kills I get about 15 max without an ely, so maybe you'll be looking at 20 per trip down to ely/FSH

Mithril Dragons
You could just do slayer through kuradel and then enjoy the mith tasks she occasionally assigns, now I think upto 30 for a task?

go green for halloween
It probably is to hit target sales figures/etc set by high street stores I'd guess.. Even though it'd be nice to see something for the people who have a subscription, I'm happy with my lower price for now to be honest, I always felt the game card offers were trying to lure people out of the old price for subscriptions that many of us are still on

superheat smelting
Yep, this got 'fixed' a while back, although tbh it wasn't really a bug :( It still works when mining and other things, just not at a furnace

Frost dragons have a new attack (gf bots for a week or two)
Given that the capcha is sufficiently advanced (which you would hope Jagex would try to get the best they could) then computers have a very hard time solving these. Like its been stated, capchas have advanced as the programs for attempting to solve them have advanced, which is one of the best things about the system. As it stands now, most bots solve random events faster than players, making the events basically worthless. GOOD capchas would force the makers of bots to use some human input to solve them (services that solve capchas etc) which would likely take LONGER to get solved than an average player, and the account could be flagged. Of course, you cannot condemn a person based on just their capcha solve time, some people may be quite slow at them (I know myself I take a while - usually down to wondering if they are actually words) but its one more tool in order to paint a picture. Other upsides, solving a capcha is faster for the average player than the majority of random events (aside form like sandwich lady/cert guy), I'm struggling to see how this would be an inconvenience. EDIT: As for RWT bots vs player bots, it may not be as high as 95% RWT bots, but they're definitely the higher percentage AND the most harmful to legitimate players down to raw material costs, account recoveries, website hacks that are all in the name of money) Also this seems to be getting kinda Offtopic..

Deathcon Blood Bar
yet another great piece of work :o I love your attention to detail, those pieces of fruit on the punch glasses must've taken ages! Truly amazing :D

decanting pots
You should be able to make an easier sale with them all in 4 doses, and you can decant noted potions too now so it'd only take a second :)

Chaotic Shield
Do you actually tank at bandos though? If you dont, you really really should be using rapier+defender/maul, there's literally no reason to use a shield for DPSing. Also 9m is still enough for a DFS, and you can always sell it, can't get 200k tokens back :S
-
Chaotic Shield
Obviously you only really need a shield if you are going to be tanking, but if you were to buy any dungeoneering shield, Chaotic Kite is the most useful of the three, though none of them are that great. If I were you, I'd be spending the tokens on a different weapon or Rigour I got a CKS and have never regretted it, but you wont end up using it all that much unless you tank basically everything, and even in those situations a DFS is as good as or better than it As for the shields, I've seen then likened to the spirit shields before: EEKS = Spectral FSKS = Arcane CKS ~ Ely/Div/DFS and an EEKS isn't as useful as a spectral, since its got less mage defence AND you're losing out on melee offense, meaning its only really good for armadyl. As for farseer, I cant see anywhere that it'd be useful to have. My point is, Spectral/Arcane are reasonably cheap and better than their DG equivalents, CKS is the only one thats really a better option (defensivewise) unless you have loads to splash out on an ely/divine EDIT: Weapon wise I'd suggest a Maul or Rigour, since maul would be great for your bandos and rigour is a better buy than a CCBOW

Firecape Setup Update
Going to be making a few changes to the guide based on this submission and general new ways to do the fight caves. I'll tweak a few things with the current range setups, but they seem fine to me for these reasons: Doing the caves with range is a lower level alternative - unlikely to have a CCBOW Defence of fight cave monsters is fairly low so range bonus is less important Higher levels are likely to have a CR before a CCBOW anyway and would use the melee method. In summary the current range setups seem fine, however I'l add a flowchat of items with them to clear up some confusion and incorporate things such as the CCBOW, however the inventory is fine for its purpose. and this bring me onto the more fun part, the melee fightcaves method. Obvious reasons to do it this way are obvious, and I'll add a little list of reqs for it along with setups and inventories. If anyone wishes to post their setups for it here then the help is most welcome, I did the caves myself this way but It'd be nice to see the slight differences in setup just for comparison etc. It'l be loosely based on CR/Claws/Ovl/Bandos and then a lower Whip/Barrows/extremes/Claws setup, both work fine is just a time thing of course. Post away if anyone has any ideas etc. ~Oct EDIT: Lots of changes have been made and hopefully I've covered everything discussed here. Locking this now :)

Revenant Hunting Guide
Hi there Teemuppets The guide already covers a few of your suggestions, I'l edit your post as I go and make changes. Thanks :) EDIT: Made most of the changes based on your post, many thanks :) The revenant guide will be being re-worked soon, since it could use some setups and such, but much of the old guide will be preserved. If you could get back to us about the icefiend drop that would be great, though I must stress for the future that if you have anything that needs adding to the site (such as a monster drop or location) that you must accompany it with a screenshot if possible, so we can confirm it outright :) - looking over the bestiary entry we already have a submission for this too, so added as unconfirmed. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to PM me :) ~Oct

Onyx (i) vs Zerker (i) @ 6 man corp?
you need top consider the sum total of offensive bonuses (that you can use at once) from the items. Ardy = 6 stab fire = 4 str 1 stab 6 > 5 so ardy > fire by the same logic zerker(i) beats onyx(i) by 8 str > 6 stab (and also the fact that str is generally better than accuracy bonuses anyway) (This is for <50% accuracy, above which str is basically always better to have)

Oct's blog - 106/120 Slayer, 113 Magic!
Update time :D haven't really done much since back at uni and all the fun that goes with that :/ Few random levels - 2420 total 97 Smith and 95 Con banked Quick bank check seems to be ~280m which ain't bad, like 15m is going into above skills though. +78 Glacors, +2 effigies, +2 glaivens, VERY happy with that :D Bought an ABS and its basically now my favourite weapon evveerrrrr, so much damage :D also ground my shards into runes since its better to put them into those by far now I'l keep track of total shards now instead. Oh and also got into barbarian fishing/low alch mining and its great :D don't really need the fishing xp that much but pushing for 90 mining soon for 90+ all yay! Me and Ezzy <3 you need to get on rune more!

Iron/Steel Dragon Guide
I'm shortly going to be starting a rework of the metals guide as soon as a few more site issues are cleared up, and this submission will be addressed along with that. Weapon order: CR>CLS>KS>ZS>LBS>Whip with defender of course Without defender, the order is the same though then ZS cannot be used, perhaps with whip being a better option on irons but not steels I'l add void melee, bandos str bonus and proselyte melee setups to cover melee, and then mage and range setups that I haven't really decided on yet, but testing will occur :) If anyone has anything to add, don't hesitate to post here since everything will be useful I'm sure. link to the current guide: Metal Dragon Slaying
