Octarine

Well, today was my first real day in DGS :) and it was great! :D Thanks to everyone who keyed on floors with me today and put up with my unhoodedness... However, as soon as I get a hood I'll be throwing myself at this keying lark, and actually can't wait! :D Thanks again all :)

Also use zam arrow instead of sara arrow and bring d defender instead of unholy book for KC and for switching out to on minions

>.< come dgs. i have 41 prestige and i get about 50k in 30mins with them doing an occult I was lurking in dgs today while I was soloing (and duoing with my brother) in the meantime, just got unlucky on floor calls and not having a ssh kinda discourages me too :(

14 minute solo med, fairly pleased with this :) (Been trying to break the 20min barrier for a while..) think there were only two gds, died on skele trio as I had basically no supplies by that point :P

So, I'm back training dungeoneering again. This time I'm going to be using dgs as much as possible, and while waiting for floors/etc I'll be doing solo meds to speed things up -Please dont suggest I use my time doing meds in other ways, I'l be coming on specifically to dungeoneer. Exam period is coming up and I want something I know will only take x amount of time (like 2-3 meds taking an hour) -I really enjoy rushing, so I've no problem with this meaning all my floors are done faster -Currently rush 1-29 Are there any big tips I could do to speed up my solo meds? I used to get around 30 min floors and taking a few tips to mind (like gs'ing and using floor planners etc) I've managed to push this down to between 20-25 mins Really, I want to be able to consistently hit about 20 minutes unless something goes very wrong.. a few things to note: Binds are Prom 2h, prom plate and CSB, never seen a ssh.. Only clearing GDs and puzzle rooms that cant be done without clearing. Occults seem the biggest pain, with two bosses requiring range I frequently find myself making arrows, but want to hold onto the CSB bind really :( Food is never a problem really unless I get an incredibly small proportion of GDs Anwyway, I'm thinking SSH will speed me up a fair bit and also make things easier, are there any other things I could do? Edit; I feel like I just threw a wall of text out there, if you need me to clarify something, just say :)

What tier blazer/blitzer would you recommend for my quickswitch ring?

I'm doing range slayer at the moment, is it worth unblocking kalphites to cannon them in the new area from Do No Evil?

Know I just said it ingame, but il put it here too: Void. For zamorak which we do a fair bit it'd be great since you dont really need defence there as a warrior. Also takes significantly less time to get than livid farm spells or imbued rings Edits: also like Quy says, tanking would improve bossing for the team. Sure you wouldnt get as many kills yourself, but thats not really what you're going for when bossing, more want to benefit the team rather than yourself. You'd do fine melee-tanking at zam and Bandos tanking is a joke

I'll answer the bits I can really reply to best off the top of my head Mining: Seems you're on the best method you can right now. CC is worth it if you'd prefer the afk-ability, coal bag is great obviously and definately worth the tiny cost in tokens For when you hit 80, I use a yak on CG with juju mining potions and urns, end up banking about once every 5 minutes and a real bank (to restock on urns) after every yak pouch runs out. Brings me onto hunter (since you'll want that for jujus if you use them) common jadinkos are definately worth it if you ever plan to use the Herblore Habitat rewards (if only for farming jujus) since they're great xp/hr and you gain the seeds for HH from them too (Theres a great AoW guide for this I think) Edit: Unknowns AoW guide: http://forum.tip.it/topic/281681-herblore-habitat/

Seems about right for the gp/run, I do the one torstol four snap method and it seems to work well However without scroll of life your torstol seed profit will be significantly less, so I'd get that if you don't have it (also itl be great for your tree farming too) Adding in bushes and replanting them adds a little more xp to your daily total (maybe 10-20k on a fair few runs) so if you're playing a lot it could be worth adding them in too.

You know you want it ;)

Just got kicked off the game by this fun broken login server (again) but the kill right before it.. Finally :D Good to replace my crawling hand anyway! So yeah, logged out to find a more populated world and login issues happened, so minecraft time it is :D zSteel titan still seems to be broke and melees her, does it count as a melee hit (so is blocked by her prayer) on the second form when he does that? Even though it does range damage?

Spectral was the only shield I had :( my bank isn't amazingly flexible, so maybe that's where I went wrong :P i'l give it a try with dfs sometime anyway Some kills I ended up spamming through upto 4 brews, though maybe I just got pretty unlucky :( @toki and that video is sweeeeet! :D

I'd imagine with an Elysian/divine it would work better, but I've tried Mage pray tanking in barrows with a spectral (very similar bonuses) and he is still way too accurate with his melee attacks.. :( With the melee pray method he only tends to end up hitting with his hit through prayer or very occasionally with the Mage Anyway, I gave kandy my usual setup picture since that's what I had handy. /essay

You should do tree and fruit tree runs seperately too, since you can do tree runs much much more often For trees, teleports aren't especilly convenient, so you'll be pretty much stuck with: Varrock tele -> Varrock castle patch Fally tele -> Falador garden patch Lumbridge tele -> Lumbridge castle patch Duel ring to MA -> Spirit tre to Gnome strong -> Gnome stronghold patch When you know you can do both runs at once (like when you've been offline for a fair while/in the morning), its fairly easy to add in the tree run to the fruit run, with your teleport to gnome stronghold covering both a fruit tree and a tree. I tended to just get the gardener at the patch to cut down my normal trees, its much quicker and wont clog your inventory with logs. So a small stack of coins (a few k) should be added

Both are pretty inconvenient spellbooks to be constantly on (until you get spellbook swap on lunars eventually) However I'd say go for lunars, mostly because you'll get access to the livid farm which could be a good long-run training method (for farming xp) Ancients aren't especially useful unless you do lots of PvP or a few select things in PvM (like barrows)

First zamorak drop I've ever got and we've been doing it for ages too.. Testing out range there currently, hence the most cluttered inventory I could muster! (Its actually not bad there either!) Also, down to Kandy coming to zam for once, I got a nice rare occasion when I didn't tank it! :D (hence messing about with range) Needless to say, Kandy was thrilled:

Metals also have the nice chance of an elite clue which I personally would class as somethign worthwhile hunting for. If you can, get the dungeoneering req for the metals resource dungeon, think i only saw three other people there getting 98-99 mage on steels. (and a fair few effigy, elites, court summons and dragon drops were nice too :D)

I should add that I'd be getting ccbow anyway for armadyl and such (and perhaps nex in the long run) so would that make a significant difference to make the high defence task nicer or not? I'd be fairly partial to just mage/rapier through the metals tasks though for the speed and ease of it. I've found in the past rune darting greaters/hellhounds in kuras went amazingly well (though perhaps itd still be better to cannon hhs) Are there any other tasks that rune darting/kniving works especially well on? Blue drags/Abby demons spring to mind but I cant be sure wfs are already blocked due to 99 summon, and im very glad you suggest not to unblock aquanites :P

So, after maxing melees through slayer, I want to do the same for range. Really dont like the idea of chinning/camping anywhere and I like the variety of slayer too. Obviously I cannon every task possible, and ex range pot too. Working on CCB asap before I seriously get into it So a few questions: -Are curses better to be on or standards? OR is it better to switch depending on certain tasks (I dont have rigour) -Are there any tasks I really should always cancel or block on kuradels list? I'l be unblocking aquanites (yes it was stupid to unlock them in the first place) and giving them a try again.. probably. Though doubt they'll be that great really. Basically I'm just looking for any little tips that could help a lot :)

Just finished what had to be the most stressful GWD trip ever. Kandy, Ezk and Draz (when he finally got back) were angels as always though :) First BCP off Grimspike, and third tassies :) Not half bad really, worked out at 12mish split :) Also kandy let me have a go with his ele, which is just beautiful :D long time before I'l be able to get one though!

"The Room" has to be one of the worst films of all time :D and to say he wrote, directed and acted in it, says quite a bit about his general talent with movies :P

^had basically the same defence bonuses on my run through with melee defence and praying mage, and I was using upto 16 brew doses some kills Dont think even the divine effect is going to help bring melee method close to the mage one, he's incredibly accurate with melee Also obv I use slay helm whenever I happen to be on task too

*is competitive* also I'd be well up for giving him a proper try with range, obviously the tank still isnt going to get away with avoiding that melee attack (and also probably shouldnt use rubies either) However, it might work decently in a team, we'll try trio range soon im sure :D

We do ffa and split drops, hence row :) range could actually be a good idea, I'd assume he wont be that strong to it since his general defence is fairly low anyway. Completely forgot about ardy cloak actually too :o Though I probably wouldnt want to give up the extra from the swars cape since prayer is nasty for tanking
