Kalphite Queen
From (a lot of) personal experience, I find that ranging the second form is a lot faster. Yes, melee does work, but similarly to what Enaid said, even with a maul, 99 attack, turm, ovld, slayer task, you dont hit all that often. Whereas CCBow, rigour, ovld slayer task hits a lot more than it misses. So if on task id take armour switches (start with bandos/barrows on and preferably a rapier and d defender, switch to dhide/arma for second form [handcannon is likely to be best here, but my firemaking is low and she has decent defense so I use CCBow])

What can I do to compete?
Or you could put up with DG for a short time, and I can guarantee that you would start to enjoy it. Sure the xp rates are poor at your current level, but they jump up pretty fast too, considering how often you are improving your prestige. Maybe DG is more like a minigame than the other "skills", but for me, this is what makes it so good. It takes the most skill and practice to perfect, providing something you can apply yourself to and be able to look back and think "was I really that bad!". However, if you're going to remain stubborn, I can only agree with the other posts. You can either solo (ineffectively), tank for a team, or have some friends willing to carry you. One place where chaotics are not such a massive requirement is DKing. A whip will down Supreme with ease (albeit not quite so fast as a rapier), Handcannon beats CCBow, SOL is barely worse than CS, and the Spirit shields are far better than Chaotic ones. Plus DKs are decent money. Bit boring though.

best place for blue dragons and quick banking?
Fally tele tabs stacked in invent. Use west bank to deposit bones, then climb over crumbling wall and run north west to the dungeon. This will be very slow without 70 agility though.

potions an hour
I mean: making vials of water > unfinished and unfinished > finished potions is the same speed? No. Making unf's is considerably faster. Im sure someone will tell you just how much faster. I can confirm Levon's rates for unfs>finished pots. I bought unfs to get 92 herb, didnt make any myself.

How do most earth runes enter the game?
People doing dailies bring a lot of earth runes into the economy every day. And as the above user explained, we rarely use earth combat spells, and usually use a mud staff if casting lunar spells.

Sgs-Full Bandos-Claws-Dfs
Zerker is same str bonus as BCP, but 15m cheaper.... There is no point in getting BCP if you dont have zerk. Fury, is again cheaper than Bandos armour, and again gives better bonuses.
-
Sgs-Full Bandos-Claws-Dfs
You're being ridiculous. He is giving you (correct) advice and you're giving any sort of real reason to counter it. Anyway. Of those items you mentioned, probably claws. Bandos is also a good choice though. DFS is useless except at Wyverns, do not get one.

How could I kill mithril dragons better?
This is a fair point. Mage is another (slow) option. Of course, if you have to be ranging them, chances are there's about a million better things you could be doing.
-
Sgs-Full Bandos-Claws-Dfs
Sell SGS buy Bandos + Claws Edit: Godswords are outdated. Even if you hate DG, slash with whip, crush with ZS/SS. SGS spec is also largely redundant, due to healing familiars, eee, ss etc. Plus your spec is much better used on DPS than healing. Edit2: If you dont have a Fury or Zerker ring, those come first. 85+ Herblore is also a big priority.

Dungeonsweepers (DGS) - Huge changes; read first post.
Watch videos to learn Gulegas attacks (you treat it almost like Jad) and having bloodragers will make this fight incredibly short. Treat Dread like Sara GWD, only you should be using mage. Tank runs from corner to corner until Dread switches target. Varying strategies on Blink. I do not know which is best. When he shouts "Here it comes", raise a nearby pillar and hide behind it. DO NOT randomly lift pillars when he is running about, as only one can be up at once.This is more a watch and learn Boss. Portal rooms are trial and error for me. Maybe there is a better strategy. Once in the middle, log to lobby then back in to finish unlocking the door.

void or black dhides with FSH?
FSH - 15% Void - 20% Low defence void wins. Wyvern are not low defence. Use FSH. The end.
-
void or black dhides with FSH?
This is only true when you're ranging high defence monsters and perhaps need tankier gear. So for wyverns this would apply, but for a lot of other tasks, void is superior. I was implying on Wyvern tasks. But yes, what you state is correct.
-
void or black dhides with FSH?
FSH is better than void, assuming you're on task. Range safespotting wyverns is ridiculously slow. If you do not want to use a faster method you should just skip them.

Lava Titan or Juju Mining Potions? [ANSWERED]
Why not both? That's why. But why not ditch the Yak. And occasionally bank at Fally to restock on juju?

As Crossed Body is the only team member who hasn't responded to the video, we can put all the blame on him.

With regards to Oscar's vid. Love your keying, but one thing to query: Obviously making ragers did cost us time (albeit very little time as we already had charms + ore at ht). However, without having made them, bosses can sometimes take significantly longer, and can lead to deaths. I understand that to miss out by a few seconds on "sub 20" would be frustrating, but in the grand scheme of things, an extra 15 seconds with a much smoother boss fight cannot be considered a "mistake"?

If they were tradable...
You do realise the rates of 3rd age items, yes? Youd have to have Jesus luck to make it worthwhile at 1m each... Most people in this topic seem sensible. Hard clues are fairly common. Adding 1-2m to most slayer tasks would not happen. People would not pay that much for them.
-
If they were tradable...
Lol. Barraging for crimsons cost around 4k each, or 2k each with Brobes. Hence that sort of price. Obviously far cheaper via fiends. But then factor in the time taken to gather them, rather than purely the cost in supplies. 4k each is not unreasonable at all. And I also found your clue scroll piricings amusing. 1m for a hard? You are playing a different game my friend. 100k tops.

Tormented Demons - Tactics, Strategies, and other general advice
This is tailored to your stats: Gear: Void (Melee and Range helms) Maul KXBow Claws Darklight+Defender Fury D Boots Zerker Fire Cape (perhaps SW cape if no Elite void) Tactics: Use a Uni. Once you get 92 you can start using combat familiars, and brew instead. Note that with a Uni you should not need to brew, except when someone messes up lures perhaps. Not until you have a steel titan should you use turmoil. Rigour all the way for now. Watch videos to learn exactly what to do to lure correctly. Things you could improve: 99 Firemaking for Handcannon 99 Summoning for steel EDIT: If you care for it, you can take RoW and equip at end of each kill

Anyone else just mega-skimmed through it looking for "ROTM" mentioned anywhere, then got really dissapointed when it wasn't? Really happy when I read it properly ;D

Conquest
And people like this slow it down considerably, ruining it for others.

Increase my TDS kill/hour?
As a starter, Void + Claws

A Dilemma
This is a good point. Just earn cash, buy the prayer, and use all the effigies on summ. Possibility.

A Dilemma
87. I would do this, if it were not for the fact that: Slayer would be faster with turmoil, and more enjoyable with soul split. and the same can be said for Dungeoneering, which I do a lot of But yes, I do intend to gather my charms via Slayer, rather than powering for them.
