They don't tag monsters, meaning they won't get you the drops/exp unless your character actually hits them with their weapon. Thus their usefullness has declined a lot, but you can still use them to draw in spawns at places like daganoth where you would be barraging anyway so tagging isnt an issue.

Thanks! Now if only I could stop failing the shambling lair voyage I my life would be complete... Sent it out again just now at 74%. I send out scroll voyages at 70 or less percent all the time and succeed, this is frustrating. I should be getting another 2 smithing levels today because warbandscape if I can get the right camps, otherwise 80 mining or 75 construction.

hi inb4movedtointroductions&farewells

Yeah I know what you mean, this girl I'm with came out of no where. We met on a Sunday, were dating and introduced each other to our parents by tuesday as boyfriend and girlfriend and we said we love each other by thursday. We've been together for 6 months now and I have the engagement ring picked out. I always thought those people who claimed "when you meet the right person you'll just know" were full of shit and then she came along...keep your chin up. We're all young and you've got plenty of time to find someone else. This has been relationship talk with Tieszen here on the midnight hour, stay tuned for a commercial free hour of todays top hits right after the break... #shouldhavebeenaradiodj

What Aiel said, if you don't have the cash you're better off doing your best money maker to make the cash and then training with the best method than you are training with a worse method. You can lessen the cost of using broad arrows by buying 3 k arrowheads per day from your slayer master (for 50-60 each vs. 70+ on the ge). Always use urns for mining and fishing. Not sure that they're worth using for anything else.

No real testing has been done to confirm it and given the rs communities tendency towards screaming "nerf" everytime something seems off to them for 10 seconds I would dare to say that it hasn't been. What did happen was it was made hybrid armor and the defensive stats on hybrid style armor across the board were made significantly worse with the last update so its not as easy to use everywhere as it was before (but it's still not bad, I can still do QBD in it with drygores and not use more than 1-2 rocktails per kill).

FIFY Yep!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AldEhLOK6ejJdEt4SDZMY3F3SVY3UE9UWHRGU3VNQUE#gid=8 Check out these spreadsheets for exp/hr and gp/xp you would need for most skills. Some of them aren't updated with new methods like dragonhide shields but they're still very useful.

If you have a source of funds for buyables right of the bat yes.

Thanks warbands! In other news my girlfriend called me and apparently tonight is date night (news to me as of right now but not complaining) so I'm making pizza for her for dinner.

Drygores all have the same dps when using abilities, mace is slightly better with momentum but fractionally. Given that they have the same dps but the mace has a +9 prayer bonus you should definitely get the mace. TD's are good for money making because of dragon limbs (worth about 25-35 mil so compare to dragon claws before but a better drop rate). Shields aren't worth using unless you are tanking Nex or KK. Just get MH and OH drygore mace. EDIT FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Literally as I pressed post I got the notification for Q's reply ninja'ing me

The red is where you click to find the abilities as well as your basic abilities (the ones you don't need adrenaline to use). They all have different cooldowns (3,5,10,15,15 seconds) and you want to always be using an ability. To do this you can "rotate" through them by using the 3 second ability in between every other ability, and the 5s ability whenever its off cooldown between the 10s and 15s abilities. The yellow are your thresholds, which you can use at 50% adrenaline. Whenever you have the adrenaline your thresholds are not on cooldown use them, they deal way more damage than your basics. The other abilities you will never need to use because at the moment they aren't worth using. If you cap out your adrenaline that's ok. It just means as soon as a threshold is off cooldown you can use it again. Hope this helps.

failed the shambling lair at 79%, sent it out again today at 71% grrrr.... I was hoping that I would at least have the chance to roll oxheads for my reset tonight. Oh well, I'm up to 3 k steel and nothing to spend it on because I haven't rolled more than 4 pincers crew and I don't want to invest in upgrades for my ship besides the hulls and rudders until I have all the crew I need.

Are you using abilities? Abilities do not use ammo so you shouldn't be going through more than a couple hundred per day if that's all you do for the day. Unless its different for salamanders but I doubt it.

Check grimy's spreadsheets for the daily profit on MTK. Whenever you collect just look at the two that have the highest % yield and switch to them, collect and sell on the GE. He also has the best profit for herbs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AldEhLOK6ejJdEt4SDZMY3F3SVY3UE9UWHRGU3VNQUE#gid=8

Accuracy matters a huge deal in the jump between tiers, the biggest factor being what tier defense of the monster your attacking is. Most slayer monsters are around t6 defense so having less than t7 is not ideal for max kill speed. Once you get t8 the accuracy is so great that there isn't much that you can't mage on task.

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape_Wiki Look them up there.

I assume you mean a KBD (King Black Dragon). Looking at your stats it isn't going to be easy... 60 attack and magic being your highest combat stats means you can't use higher than dragon or grilofic (?) weapons. If you're intent on killing him you would want to wear the best defensive armor you can with a dragonfire shield and a dragon weapon. You'll also need an antifire potion, prayer potions, and a super set, pray protect melee with chivalry on the entire time. For the rest of your inventory you're going to want to have the best food you can bring and a 1 click teleport just in case. I would highly discourage trying to do the KBD until you have at least 70 attack and defense for barrows armor and an abyssal whip, they will make it go much more smoothly. Ideally you would get 85 herblore and use superantifires so that you can dual wield or use a good 2h weapon.

Claw. It has better Dps and you should be using an ee offhand anyway so save the hundred k tokens for something else like charming imp, arc stream etc. Claw has crit bonus. Otherwise DPS is the same we other chaotics. But it's cheaper in terms of tokens anyway

Generally unless you're doing kree or really need the slayer points you should skip aviansie tasks. The echo isn't great, neither is the cash and they take a while to get to.

Of course my 700 steel special voyage that I sent out at 91% is the only one that failed (the rest all went out at less than 75%). Sent out the shambling lair mission at 75% so here's hoping that I can start trying to roll some oxheads in 15 hours...

Responses in bold. Cheers.

If you already have dual ccbows I believe they are marginally better than royalxbow. If you're going to be barraging you're going to want wand+book (ideally virtus) if you can't afford virtus you should be using cstaff for your icestryke tasks and treachery+ahrims book for barraging. Hellhounds are fast to barrage, you may have a hard time keeping enough spawns up if you do it in kuradel so the resource dungeon is probably your best bet. Using a cannon to draw in spawns just like at dags. Meleeíng QBD and Miths with drygore are your best bet for mith and black dragon tasks. Skip black demons, range or melee waterfiends (on task your accuracy won't suffer with melee). Dark beasts should be ranged. Any other tasks you get that you can't barrage should probably be skipped but more people should be along shortly to talk more about skip/block lists.

That seems much more suited to my playstyle, granted I would probably go with better all class gear (fury etc) I feel like if you're going to use void though you might as well bring the helm switches as surely the extra 10% accuracy and damage outweigh the slight defense bonuses?

kthx In other news I'll be sending it out tomorrow as it rolled from sending out my 4th voyage. Wewt. Also I should be getting 85 fishing as well as 82 runecrafting tomorrow. Also wewt.
