I hate dungeoneering and don't know how you could possibly get more then 8 tokens an hour, so I can't comment on that.

I hate team anything. It's hard to organize and doesn't make as much cash, plus it doesn't fit well with my random at best, nonexistant at worst play times. What gear would you reccomend then?

Solo hybrid then. If you don't want to Mage, and you don't want to burn through food, melée/rangebridding is for you. You'll just have to pick a low pop world and put up with the annoyance. We all have to do annoying things sometime...

I know next to nothing about dks to be fair... Why not duo with cannons? If your partner has a yak, he can bring gp and buy any hides/bones you get ls and bank them.

I'd guess 60m with sc needles, 120m without. Just a guess, iPhone and ge database don't mix.

They sell in the ge rather easily from what I've heard. Buying them is another matter... I agree to compromise with you. Fogging your own set does take heaps of time and it's only worth it if you plan to burst for ages. Assuming the street price is 25m, you'd have to burst like 50 hours in battle robes for it to be more efficiant...including the purchase cost.

The greatest cost in bursting lobs comes from the runes. Hence why the combat robes/Sol combo. If he wants to bring 1-2 hours worth of casts to get used to it, this setup is adequate: Full Blue mystic Barrows gloves Ring of Life Glory/God stole/Mage ammy Water staff God book Wildy cape/God cape (Not cloak) Again, long term lob bursting costs come from runes. Just bring that if he's looking to get used to it. He may have to bring more food/some brews and restores as mystic won't help at all against the daggs and wallalskies. Edit @ above. I calced the savings of the battle robes at being worth it unless you earn more the. 1.4m an hour...

Wind surge is superior in exp/hour with only slightly more cost.

At about 105 tokens an hour... You'll get your robes charged in 2 and a half hours. With robes, you get 6 hours of half price casting and 2.5 hours recharging. In 8.5 hours with robes, you get 6 hours casting with 3 hours cost. In Normal Mage gear, you get 8.5 hours casting at 8.5 hours cost. Ran a quick calc, might be inaccurate, but if you earn more then 1.44m/hour it's more effective to use normal robes over battle robes. Assuming 1.2k casts an hour and 1k per cast.

I'm not running the calcs as I don't know the exact exp rates... Battle robes with sol is generally the best way to go. Use the highest combat spell you can. The time saved should make up for the higher cost.

What's your budget? I recently maged a metals task with air wave...not the greatest exp/hour, but I was afk and had bad, bad gear.

I can't see his levels, but if you're considering bursting lobs you could pull out 25m to sell back later, anyway. You should FoG your own robes if you don't wanna pay the street.

Meh, thanks for that. How many tokens/hour can you get?

You'd have to earn over 664.88N gp/hour for mages to be better, with N being the number of logs/hour. Since you estimate 1k logs/hour, you'd have to earn over 664K an hour for mages to be worth it.

I'd run the calc If I knew how many logs/hour you could burn...

I'd love to merch but know nothing about it. Iirc you need 100m+ worth of gear to effectivly do armadyl. It's a longer term thing, which I will do eventually.

Which set is 50 tokens then?

You only need like 50 tokens per recharge...lol. Spend an extra few hours and you're good.

Just fog a little bit in f2p to get tokens. The Mage xp is halved, as the other half goes to defence exp. Your hp exp/hour and damage isn't affected.

Battle robes are like infinity but suckier. They're from fog and need repairs every 6 hours. The reason they're so used is because with Sol and those robes, you get Half of the runes from your casts back. Defensive casting will only effect your Mage exp/hour, to my knowledge.

:L I can guarantee that I have no disgusting piercings though. I have a iPhone, a laptop and an Internet connection...that's it :L

Offtopic, but still relevant: I'm only 73 summon, and plan on getting 88/96. So far, combat familiars suck [wagon]. Is there any reason at all why you'd use one over a yak or uni? 0_o

I would but on the lo fi skin there is no sidebar... :L Switch it on for yourself and you'll get an idea of what I have to work with. Yes, I am using a mobile. (iPhone to be precise :D)

I notice you have about the same cash as me. I don't know your levels and can't pm, because of lo-fi skin, but If you posted them and were around the same levels as me I'd be happy to work it through with you

Which guide? I wanna look too. A practical and semi-cheap one would be Combat robes, Sol, Guthix book, glory, Mystic boots, barrows gloves, god cape, seers ring/lumby ring.
