Important! If you make your pots into unf before the weekend, as you should, then make sure you have a scroll of cleansing. Without it you might as well just buy the unf pots from the GE.

If you're bursting you might as well burst rock lobsters. It will be less pure mage exp/h but overall it's better since you gain A LOT of crimsons.

Depending on what your other gear is your money might be better spent upgrading it then upgrading your shield slot. An unholy book would cost 16.8m to get for a +4 boost over what you currently have. An archers ring would cost less then 1m for a +4 boost. Unholy book also cannot be resold, so once you buy it that money is gone forever. I think the best setup for non-slayer, non-boss ranging is the following: Void range helm, void bottom, deflector, void gloves, ACP (black dhide top), archers ring, Rangers boots (snakeskin boots). Cheaper alternatives are in parentheses. Give us your current gear and your current budget and we can give you what would be best.

Offensive specials increase kills per hour, exp per hour. Defensive specials don't do anything that a bunyip, uni, SS, brews or sharks wouldn't already do. EEE is the only useful defensive special and the only places where it is good are arma gdw, WFS and for skilling. Arma GDW becuase the only damaging spec that would be viable is handcannon and that would take up a lot of inventory. WFS because there are no offensive specs that have higher DPS then zammy spear, sara aword or chaotic maul. Skilling because you don't need offensive specs anyways so it's nice to get HP back at agility courses and LRC. I wouldn't bring the bow + arrows to arma GDW because it would take an extra inventory spot. Also, if you're not using overloads there then it's probably not going to be a good moneymaker. That being said I would recommend getting EEE for the situations where it is best. Also OP if you need healing I would recommend a long term investment into 95 prayer. Soul split is amazing and frost bones are at a record low.

Two bullets. Do I win?

"I haven't done deeds of heroism, such as letting a poisoned person suffer and depend on cabbages to live." LOL. I'll protect you. PM me. Free too.

No they will not be boosted. I suggest doing an hour of ZMI before the weekend to get the feel of it. No requirements at all, lunars just speed you up a lot.

Nah, Lep is on the dot.

I don't think anyone would complain about a quest giving cosmic/law binds. Especially since everyone makes them already.

That's an exaggeration. Excuse me.

It is, that's why I mentioned it. Using exp rewards is still more efficient though. That's your opinion. It may or may not be relevant to the OP. Cute opinion. Did you ever think that OP might find what's fastest/most efficient to be the most fun. Since you don't dictate what's fun for everyone else please keep fun out of it. Otherwise I could say crafting mind runes is most fun and suggest that it's a good idea to craft them till 99. See what I'm saying? Sweetheart, I suggest you read up on opportunity cost. Once you understand that then you will also understand that the fastest method is often the most profitable. Fun is an opinion, since OP didn't specify what's fun for him I don't see how it's relevant.

What do you mean?

What you're suggesting would require even more data because it would need to be collected for every tasklist. We don't really know if blocks change relative frequencies or not because Vex didn't really have enough data.

I don't think you understand. If you want the raw frequency then you can't block any tasks. As soon as people start blocking tasks the data becomes skewed and really difficult to work with. Zarfot and Vex have different tasklists, so of course their frequencies will be different. When people have different slayer levels and tasklists, then it's not as simple as adding all the numbers up. As for getting a hold of Vex, I would suggest PMing someone who knows his skype like Grimy on the-other-forums. Edit: No block data is the most relevant because once you have it, then you can determine the task frequencies for any tasklist.

I haven't done the math but you would need much, much more data if you wanted to adjust for all those discrepancies. An educated guess would be 100k+ logged tasks depending on how many discrepancies there are. Edit: That 150 people logging tasks would need to be 93 slayer with no blocked tasks for the data to be any good.

So you would need 150 people at 200 tasks with no blocked tasks. I don't know how many tasks you would need loged with blocked tasks. Also, consider that people who record data should be 93 slayer to have access to all tasks and all should be using the same master and all should either have aquanites unlocked, or have them blocked. Anything else would skew the data.

Have you talked to him/looked at his toolkit for slayer?

Vex attempted to reach out in the past and gave up due to lack of interest/commitment. Honestly, I'm interested in the data too. I'm just telling you that doing what you're doing won't get you enough data for it to be significant.

Hello. There is no way (without bots) to collect enough data to determine task frequencies within a reasonable confidence range. I know because I wanted the data for a summoning guide/calc. To have confidence in your data, you're looking at 20-30k logged tasks. Oh, and that's without any blocked tasks. Drops and effigies have already been explored by Vex and Zarfot. Goodbye. Edit: I've been talking to some botwriters about them including something that logs task frequency in their scripts and sends the data back to a spreadhseet or something. They want money though and I'm not sure if the data is actually worth that much to me.

This will still take longer then just going ZMI from level 57. It would be even more efficient to only train using lamps, tears, pengs and troll invasion. This is good, if you want to waste time and get slower exp/h. What you want to do for ZMI is go onto lunar magic. Fill your bank up with junk before hand. That way, when you deposite into your bank all your runes will deposite except the ones you need for teles. A terrorbird also slows down your exp/h if you use it to replace an abyssal familiar. Banking at the ZMI bank will almost cut your exp/h in half. Don't do it.

Go TDS. Corp (and other team bosses) will suck with your stats.

Nope, hasn't since like 2005. Farming is the only good moneymaking non-combat skill now.

+1 to above There is already the best guide anyone could possibly want. Grimy hosts it on That Other Forum.

Troll Invasion, pengs, tears, lamps, quests, diary rewards, opening effigies, effigy lamps. ZMI is slow.
