Exactly. In terms of fun, the rank goes something like this; Chaotic maul > godsword > barrelchest anchor I wouldn't even consider anything else for killing them.

For a second I thought blade was back.... Stupid old thread getting bumped. On topic, I have also had this problem.

Youre so cute. I concede your point, the godsword hits higher and can crush. Thanks, you aren't too bad yourself. But yea, go with the bgs for the crush style. If you want a cheaper option then barrelchest anchor is awesome.

But godswords hit high and are crush. Edit: And high hits are more fun.

Slow, concentration intensive, not profitable.

Very sub par stats. +5 to all def I think.

Chinning is very afk and 300k exp/h. What exactly bothers you about it?

Well you lose the option to use a tort/yak. My point still stands that smithing isn't one of the skills that is equal in members and f2p.

I'm guessing whip+dragon defender would be the best for you given your stats.

I doubt that zammy book will go down, there is massive demand for it. I mean it has been rising when most other items have been falling, that kinda says something about the level of demand there is for it.

Trimmed skillcape is better then classic cape. Easy to get as well. That character could be decent at mage boxing. You would need 99 defense, 99 mage, 99 hp and ancient magic.

Lol no You lose; A) The option to superheat while smelting gold B) The option to use scroll of efficiency C) The option to use sacred clay hammers There are also all awesome options for smithing.

Ahhhh, you're right, apologies, there is no reason whatsoever then to get any of the books, but if you feel a need to use then then grind out zammy book. Thanks for the correction.

Lol, I've only had positive experiences with dung smith cc. I guess it depends on the rank you get.

I'll make you a gorg 2h, just be aware that I will need to pot and need your cooperation during a med dung to get the ores. PM me and remind me you're from TIF (apologies for drunken post)

But then you become dat undead chicken prod.

Monks are still okay, at least for defense based players. Even with only three heals they have higher total exp and lower defense then comparative monsters. (apologies for drunken post)

I would say that, but the Zamorak book is more than ten times as expensive. Totally not worth it since you could easily just specialise and get bandos, armadyl and zaros books for 5-6M alltogether. Zamorak book is 20M. Apart from that, the money isn't wasted as you still have a cool item with some defensive bonuses, great for outfits and indeed preaching! :) . All of those books are sub-par compared to the zammy book. And when you finally tired of having a second rate item you'll have to shell out the money for a zammy book then, and the other book will sit in your bank with the money essentially being wasted. Besides you don't need the pages for your other books if you just want the look. No need to buy the pages. That's exactly the point I wanted to make. The day you decide to upgrade from the subpar item to the best item you will lose the money you invested in the other books simply because they are untradable. Suck it up, grind out the cash (it isn't that much) and get zammy book if you are THAT serious about it. But like Enaid pointed out earlier, if you are truly serious about range slaying then just use Karils xbow. That is really the best advice. The only place that I can think of where the book is still the best is chinning. (apologies for drunken post)

Port Sarim seagulls, bank the bones. Monks, they will heal as you kill them which means you can attack them for a long time.

Awesome guide. Still dunno what I'll bind when I get to 100. I don't have 95 mage, 99 defense or 99 attack. Prom rapier perhaps?

Took another look at your original question. If you need range exp then just powerslay with a cannon, you should get very good range exp without actually using range primarily. You could even optimize your tasklist to skip/block non-cannon tasks.

In the rare cases when you would use a combat familiar I suggest your best titan. Rune mino isn't anything too special.

There is no good use for FOG tokens. Ahrims is more efficient then battle robes for all magic and the other rewards aren't worth the time.

The go for the maul, to be honest 85 and frost dragons are over rated. I much prefer TDS for the charms, effigies and for how bot free they are compared to frost dragons.

Better money is to drop salmon/trout and spend the time saved killing hill giants for their bones.
