You're funny. You put a link to an ad in what's supposedly a question. Then you stir up controversy to keep it bumped. Either way you win, huh? (Sorry, but I'm a bit cynical at merchants in general lately. They've been screwing some items I actually care about.)

Dagannoth kings. There's a guide on the main TipIt site and some in the AOW.

I've been crashed at all three. Bandos seems the most severe. I'm somewhat worried about doing anything that has an nonconstant return. For example, at TDs, I'd pretty much have to camp for two pairs of claws. That's like 400-500 kills on average, and I'd be okay with that. But, if I hit a dry streak, I get very little partial return.

I have whip, full verac, some odds and ends, and 1m cash pile. I don't think I'm going to be buying specialty equipment until after I get extremes.

So I broke my bank to get turmoil. I think I'm going to be camping DKs for another 60m ish to get extreme potions. I would really like some other suggestions on what I could do instead. Other stuff I've been considering: TDs: I'm not too sure about relying on a single extremely high value drop. Granted, two claws and I'm set, but I'd hate to have a dry streak. Bandos solo: I tried earlier. I do decently. I'm also apparently very easy to crash. All advice is appreciated.

Hey, I'm working on similar goals, but the other way around. Would you mind sharing how you did herblore? I think it'll be my next goal.

The leeches are good, but probably not worth losing out on piety for.

15m won't get you to a useful herb level. So either go partway with herb, or pick something more immediately useful.

I might be using evil stew some time in the future, and I was wondering about how it worked. Is the decay on a global tick timer? As in, every minute on the minute? Or is it in terms of your logged in time? Could someone describe in detail how to get a lot of use out of a boost without it decaying? Thanks.

Bit of a bump. Is it worth training melee at waterfiends? I'd mainly be interested in the melee, but of course getting charms saves me time down the line. I'm still considering buying range. Would've been better if I coordinated this and got extremes instead of turmoil. Meh.

I've added you. I usually hybrid but I suspect I can convince a mage to let you tag along.

Dragon scimitar gets about four hits per dragon longsword's three. The max hit difference is pretty minor, especially if you have reasonable base strength to back it up.

Problem is you're comparing the whip to a dragon longsword, which pretty much everyone considers an inferior weapon. The whip is meant to be a better dragon scimitar, and while it has a significant advantage, it's not nearly as overpowered as the longsword may have you think. Pures, they're another issue entirely. Also, if you want to talk about overpowered equipment, think claws or ags or something.

It's relatively easy to kill a pure. Trouble is, it's even easier for them to kill you. (Compared to an opponent with more defense but less damage potential.)

Right around your level is a ton of maxed-ish zerker pures. At least get 70 prayer. I would advise against +1 worlds. You'd get rushed so much with claws/ags. You can pk, but you'd be at a significant disadvantage.

True, but given the existence of claws and ags rushers, I don't think I'll be pking for anything but fun any more.

Thank you guys for the responses. I just want to throw another option out there. I could chin 99 range+hp. Would help me at DKs and maybe even get me into decent Arma teams.

DKs would be quite nice and consistent for you using one of many methods. You won't quite stand up to the yak users in terms of profit rates, but it's still good. Just one option that might interest you.

Not saying you can't do arma, but bandos is so much more in your favor. With your stats gear really isn't that big a deal. I mean, I assume you have the basics like barrows and whip, but the really elite stuff is overrated. Granted, overloads help your range a lot, but they help your melees just the same. At arma, you'll be pretty average (rougly on par compared to a 95 ranger with regular pots). At bandos, you'll be really really good (only turmoilers with overloads would do better in terms of power). Arma hilt is worth several bandos hilts, but every bandos armor piece is worth more than the corresponding arma piece significantly. So in summary, you can solo arma just fine, but it will be nowhere near as good as bandos or even maybe zammy. I hear sara is good. Maybe you should try that instead if you want a change but still gwd. Alternatively, go chin 95 range if you're so set on arma. It's a real pity when your amazing boosts are backed by a less than amazing base stat.

You would be so much better off soloing bandos with your stats, where you would be a top tier player. Arma might have more valuable drops, but also requires longer kc time and is slower to kill. Your range is average, your melee is really freaking high.

I'm not sure why I decided to go for turmoil first. But I've banked it, and I should finish altaring it in about a week. I'm wondering what my next skill goal should be. My options seem to be extremes or unicorn. Extremes: I'd be pretty good at gwd. I could solo bandos and be reasonably difficult to crash. I'm not sure how I should level this. It seems cleaning herbs is almost as fast as making potions, except for the ridiculous clicking factor. Unicorn: This would solve all my hp problems. I could camp stuff a lot more easily. My main issue is how to get charms. Even with barrage, this is going to be a ridiculously long time spent gathering crimsons before I can do anything. What would benefit me more? I like to do bossing (DKs, KBD, and GWD when I can get a world) and slayer about equally. Is there some equipment I should buy first instead? Currently, my only expensive equipment is a set of verac's. Thanks, guys.

You underestimate what supposedly weaker players can do. A lot of lower and middle level players will throw themselves one by one at the opponent's strongest fighter. Well, yes, then you're gonna lose. But if they so much as organized a three or four person party in their base, they'd be good to go.

It's /10 in terms of LP or base in terms of HP I think.

Summoning pouches are good too. Terrorbirds and barker toads tend to be easy to buy in particular, since most golds get put into them.

Option 1: Pray melee and 15% atk/str with a whip and full proselyte/initiate/monk. Option 2: Use antifire pot and mage, preferably with chaos gauntlets and fire bolt.
