Dungeonsweepers (DGS) - Huge changes; read first post.
Strict ring requirements do help though as they show an investment towards long term dungoneering.

Live Concerts
Small venue? Those are the best. I would say go, in the grand scheme of things 70$ isn't too much.

Bandos or Elite Void Knight melee?
In the short term max strength gear would be better. In the long term void would be better because you will need it for other things.

Yes please. And not just a hasty generalization.

Advanced Monster Blocking (link update 13 Jan 2007) (AOW)
This should be reformatted and made AoW. It is hugely relevant now due to dungoneering.

Israel vs Palestine
There is no peace in Gaza simply because Gaza isn't a free land. It's like saying the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto were free, then when they rose up against the Nazis they deserved what they got because they didn't want peace. No, oppressed people have every right to fight for their humanity. Gaza is a horrible example given the massive humanitarian crisis going on in Gaza currently due to the Israeli blockade. Also, I disproved Isreal63 on the Arab leaders getting the Palestinians to leave being a justification for settlements pages back. This was through my extensive citations of the right to return. He can't be reasoned with, I suggest people just ignore his myopic posts.

Revenant Drop Rates
You can get a full inventory as of a week or so ago when I restocked mine. It takes 30-40 minutes. They are the best amulet to use there with any weapon, salve (e) boosts attack and strength by 20%.

Israel vs Palestine
I don't know much about the Irish conflict but when I was wearing a Palestinian scarf in Europe last summer a lot of Irish stopped me and talked to me about it. Maybe you're right, I should probably read up on it. The Balkans have numerous similarities and numerous differences. What is crucial is that the different ethnic groups are more or less at peace with each other and not slaughtering each other any more. This was accomplished by creating separate states for each religious group. For example Croatia is largely Roman Catholic, Serbia is Orthodox, and Bosnia is Muslim. Nobody won all of Yugoslavia but each group has a place they can call their home. So while there are still tensions there is peace. And that is what is most important. Why can't both Palestinians and Israelis have a home in a similar multi-state solution?

Revenant Drop Rates
Jennicas ring boosts rev specific drops. Like increased chances of getting sharks from the werewolf or a fire orb from the pyrefeind. Other then that there are no boosting items for the valuable drops. Just stick at it, you sound due for a drop soon. Just make sure you are using your salve (e) and you should be fine. Also you might want to test whip versus gs because you want KO potential there to kill them before you eat. Edit: Getting pked less would probably be a good idea too. Increases your kills/hour.

Here are some basic guides; TDS: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=tormented_demons.htm Revs: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=revenants.htm Dalies: http://www.zybez.net/guides/10170/daily_activities/ There are better guides out there though if you care to spend time looking for them.

Ring of Wealth
Either don't use it or swap to it at the end of kills. This applies especially for barrows, only use it to loot the chest.

Revenant Drop Rates
Super attack and super strength. A prayer pot in case someone tried to smite you. A dragon defender. Salve (e). Climbing boots. Barrows gloves. Niet helm. Just don't skull yourself and have quickpray set to protect item + peity + protect mage. Then if you die you keep your helm, gloves and rapier at the least. Stock up on defenders and salve amulets. I suggest getting 28 salve crystals in one trip, they are a pain to get but 28 amulets will last you a long time. Edit: the drops will come with time, since you are low leveled perhaps skip the werewolf, vampire and even the hobgoblin. The reason maul kicks ass is because it KOs them before they can heal, without it those three take too long.

Revenant Drop Rates
Hmm, killing in a certain order would work for logging, shame it would likely cut into my killrate.

TDS, revs, farming herbs obsessively, dalies.

Easy Elite Clue's ?
It's not about the sounds, it's about the animation. Eventually you can pretty much predict what they will swap to and when. I don't know about the ratio, they are still very rare, but of the monsters you can camp for elite clues TDS will give you the most profits and effigies. More then miths, steels or irons.

SoL's rune saving with battle robes
They aren't worth it even there if you have a decent income. They take too long to charge.

Revenant Drop Rates
My experience points to no sort of EP/DP system. I go with yaks and stay for 3+ hours per trip. Over long periods of time the raw number of rare drops seems to be more or less even. Likewise, some rare drops have low values. Thus the profits vary heavily which might seem to the superstitious like there is some sort of EP/DP system. Really though, if we were to gather a massive sample I think we would see that the rare drops are distributed evenly. This is mostly speculation though. If someone who knows their statistics is willing to help me figure out an easy way to log kills that won't slow down my killrate too much then I would be glad to start logging kills. I'm interested in knowing the droprates of the different categories relative to each other, if the droprates of the different level revs are different. I would also like to know how many kills/drops I need to log to gather statistically significant data. I'm guessing though due to the variety of revs and the variety of rare drops I would need to log a massive amount of kills to figure these out. What I'm most interested in though is brawlers. I actually have yet to see a brawlers drop, I have a feeling they might be as rare as the dragon full helm from miths. Any confirmation that reverents drop them (screenshot) would be much appreciated. Or even confirmation that the chaos element drops them.

Tormented Demons.

TDS are the best because the other stuff they drop makes them worth camping.

Best possible cooking xp?
Wine is 2.5 gp/exp Swordfish are .30gp/exp Lobsters are .23gp/exp That being said wine is still best because it is so much faster then swordfish or lobster.

(None of this is mine) Dungeoneering Guide by 0xpx0 Preface: This Guide is aimed at reaching 33 dungeoneering within the shortest amount of time on an otherwise maxed account and no pre-obtaied experience items. The guide: Starting out at Lumbridge home teleport. Climb down to Lumbridge basement and enter Lumbridge swamp caves. Run to Juna and do Tears of Guthix D&D. You need to score atleast 199 tears to be successful. Assuming you managed 200 tears, you will gain 1880 dungeoneering xp, getting you to level 13 dungeoneering. (estimated time 4 minutes) Next, teleport to Edgeville and enter Edgeville dungeon. Run to the north side of the dungeon, enter wilderness and enter the chaos druid resource dungeon for 1100 dungeoneering xp, you have now reached 2980 dungeoneering xp and level 16 dungeoneering. (estimated time 2 minutes) After that teleport to Falador and run far east to the drawen mine entrance, and enter the dwarwen mine. Run west and enter dwarwen mine resource dungeon. This will grant you 1500 dungeoneering xp for a total of 4480 xp and level 20. (estimated time 2 minutes) Teleport to the Grand Exchange and run southwest. Use your muddy key to enter Edgeville dungeon hill giants. Run further south-west and enter hill giants resource dungeon. This will grant you 1600 dungeoneering xp for a total of 6080 dungeoneering xp and level 22 dungeoneering. (estimated time 2 minutes) After that complete the Penguin Hide and Seek D&D. With good knowledge of penguin locations(using a specialised clan chat or group for it) and available teleport items this shouldn’t take you long. Once you have gained 16 penguin points, use elite Ardougne cape to teleport to south of Ardougne and run north to Larry. Cash all your points in for dungeoneering to gain 8800 xp. You should now be at 14880 dungeoneering xp and level 31 dungeoneering. (estimated time 12 minutes) Next, use use your glory to teleport to Karamja. Run east and enter Karamja volcanoe. Take a loop around the lava and run south-east to enter the lesser demon resource dungeon. This will grant you 2100 dungeoneering xp, pushing your total to 16980 and level 32 dungeoneering. (estimated time 2 minutes) For the finishing touch, use your ring of kinship to teleport to Daemonheim. Run to the south-east point of the peninsula and enter the maple/willow tree resource dungeon. This will grant you 2400 dungeoneering xp, pushing the total up to 19380 and level 33 dungeoneering. (estimated time 2 minutes) Congratulations, you are now the master of smart leveling dungeoneering and have reached your goal of 33 dungeoneering in an estimated time of 26 minutes. In all honesty, I would advise everyone to not do actual dungeons before reaching level 50 dungeoneering, thus continuing with resource dungeons/tears/penguins until that level. At level 50 dungeoneering it is actually realistic that you would start dungeoneering with other people and learning the ropes of how to become a great dungeoneer.

The whip isn't obsolete, just not really the best anymore. The chaotic rapier is now best for most combat with the maul and longsword having niche uses. For slayer you would want a rapier.
