Fight Kiln. Still havent managed to beat the fight caves... so probably not gonna happen. Prayer switching isnt a problem, I just cant ever seem to outdps the healers. I just melee'd the whole caves on task in 36 minutes and had Jad down to ~1/10 of his hp and then the healers brought him back to half hp. I tried to deal with them and missed a prayer switch and got 1 shot ko'd. [bleep] this game, I would have killed him twice for the amount of damage I did if it werent for the [bleep]ing healers. Third time I've failed and from the same situation.

Not even for the slightly-higher-than-goliaths magic attack bonus? No

Would tanking the melee be possible with 85 defense?

I use dreadnips on the KBD and they're normally good for ~750 damage a kill including poison damage. Basically they're worth using if you have them on any boss as long as you can do it without deploying them interfering with other combat actions. And yes they work on jad. Besides that spellcaster gloves are useless (+2 magic bonus over Goliath's iirc). Goliath's are for wyverns, waterfiends, corp, and not worth it for slayer (time taken to get them isn't justified by the increase in kill speed) unless you have excess of them from hunting the pest queen/finishing DT achievements. Swift gloves with dragonbane bolts are on par with melee for frost dragons from what I've read and they're supposedly one of the best methods for the qbd.

Why does everyone hate fish flingers? :o Because Yelps is getting in on it. +1 Every update I could have loved in the last few months has had sof bullshit attached to it. All of mad may basically boiled down to new cosmetics on the wheel for each weekend, every update we get has yelps attached.

Can't wait. Seems like as good a time as any to start bossing now that i have dreadnips, overloads, turmoil, and my Crapier. If only I had a better defense level...

Cheers

I am strangely optimistic. The new combat looks promising, hoping thats its cooldown based and they get rid of special attack energy and rework spec restores to be a cooldown time reduction.

Tried out overloads at the KBD today, it was a lot of fun, put in an hour and walked away with ~700 k profit and 104 crimsons.

I'm using the spot where woox16 uses to get his 50kph and I always have at least 1 titan in reserve, so the killing is what's limiting me. I'll try the rapier + defender with karils, I have a chaotic crossbow too if that matters, is that any good at td's ? thx for the advice ccbow is not better than karils xbow at TD's

maple blackjack (o) is the best success rate iirc

FIFY Honestly, BGS is 2.9 mil and Sara sword is 4.3 (Zammy spear is 3.7). At 500 k an hour (easily attainable by any RS player) it's less than 3 hours to upgrade to either of these two vastly superior weapons. Let alone including the barrelchest anchor, torags, and veracs in your list. And at his attack level and only having access to chivalry a rapier is going to be nowhere near accurate enough to justify using it (especially given OP is only 56 dg and therefore has no chaotics at all). What you posted was bad advice. @The original questions of the OP... Go make the cash for a zammy spear or get a friend to loan you one until you can afford one yourself. Sara sword is going to be about the same damage output, maybe a little less given your lower attack level. For the rest of your set up you're optimally going to want... full void melee Fury>glory Dragon boots Berserker Ring Fire Cape >SW Cape > Ardy Cape (3) > God Cape (+10 mage def)

With meleeing the whole caves until jad you're looking at ~50 min to an hour to reach him, kiting the 360s isn't difficult and there's plenty of guides on it. Your mage is a little low so I'm not sure if using a polypore staff would be better than range. EE is definitely better than the SGS as you can do it while safe spotting and if absolutely necessary wait the 5 min timer to use it again for more health. Meleeing jad would be faster than range or mage obviously and it isn't much more difficult. You just default to praying melee and switch to mage or range. As soon as the attack hits you switch back to melee and prepare for the next one.

Money making suggestions given that I already farm torstol, do MTK, and the most profitable dailies. Go

For a whole new question its generally better to post a new thread if its an entirely new question. Otherwise people read through the replies to your old question and get confused. I'd guess it's a placebo effect.

Eagle Eye Kite has a hefty 14% magic soak to it. Combined with Ganodermic Armour you get a 67% soak which is useful at the Fight Caves for those who suck at prayer switching and also for soloing the Corporeal Beast (use them with goliath gloves while you wait for your 3-5 def lowering specs to kick in before switching to zammy spear). This takes Jad's max hit with magic down to ~320 and Corps max hit with magic down to ~214, both are being much more manageable than their respective 970 and 650 alternatives with no soak. That's the only shield whose uses I'm familiar with, its definitely not worth getting one before a rapier, scroll of life, scroll of cleansing, arcane stream, and then arguably rigour/ccbow/cmaul. EDIT had my information wrong. However due to the extremely high magic defense stats on Ganodermic its still very possible to tank Jad and Corps magic attack with 67% soak.

Thanks you :thumbsup: The plan right now is finishing up my 2 k extreme range potions (1500 done and counting atm) and then go back to making money for a while till I hit 20 mil cash again (should take a week?). Then dump 10 mil of that into torstols for ~ 300 overloads. Then I'll head to the KBD and try to get enough charms / 90 defense for 88 summoning so I can do TD's effectively. EDIT [hide=92 Herblore] [/hide] EDIT 2 I can haz torstol?

So I logged out last night and my homeworlds were 119 and 104, I logged in this morning and they were changed to 99 and 31. Nothing on my account was touched (still have all cash, untradeables, chaotics and void etc) but this worries me. I just did a full scan of my computer with AVG, Spybot Search&Destroy, Spywareblaster, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware a week ago and removed the spyware that turned up. Following that I changed my password and recovery questions as I always do if any threats appear. I have had world 99 and 31 as my homeworlds before though, has anyone else had this happen where your homeworlds are changed to something that you used to have them set as?

Vyrewatches are the best exp/hr outside of dominion tower that you can get once your polearm is maxed with 500 corpses burnt. Armoured zombies are about 50 k less exp/hr, 300 k less in profit per hour but have the small benefit of dropping charms (not a lot) and effigies (extremely rare). If however you just want pure melee exp dagannoth sentinels in dominion tower are about 70-90 k exp/hr better than Vyres if you lower their defense and don't care that the exp is 100% loss in terms of profit.

I did that today.

This guy didn't know that there's a 5 k buy limit on grenwall spikes so apparently I will be finishing my 92 herblore goal tomorrow... :thumbdown: I got 91 though [hide] [/hide]

Thanks! And I kind of was too, but in hindsight it finally motivated me to train herblore to 92, should have it before I log out for good for the night :thumbsup: EDIT the log out trick is really frustrating when I keep getting the log in bug...

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_full_helm Provided its significantly rare enough of a drop it will become a status symbol like the dragon full helm. And people are always willing to pay lots of money for things that have horrible stats that look good/portray wealth in this game *looks at the partyhats* Party Hats are a discontinued item. Unless QBD stops dropping them, they will not ever become that rare. The price will drop. Everything else does. And as a side note, people don't hunt Mithril Dragons in hopes of getting a DFH, nor do they kill Metals for a Visage (those that do are idiots and probably don't have the mental capacity to kill QBD anyway, so they are not relevant to this discussion). missedthepoint.jpg

You go from averaging 8.8 herbs per patch (44 herbs per run) to averaging 9.68 herbs per patch (48.4 herbs per run) with tier 4. With torstols at 28 k per thats an additional 123 k profit per run with tier 4 vs 36 k profit per run with tier one. Given 6 runs per day that's 768 k profit with tier 4 and 216 k profit with tier 1. You can decide what you value your loyalty points at. I personally make most of my money from farming torstol and put in 8 runs a day so for me an extra mil profit a day is well worth the extra points I paid for higher greenfingers tiers.

Thank you mad may necklace! [hide=Herblore levels 88 and 89] [/hide] I'm dumping about half of my cash into herblore today (20 mil) to get to 92. From that point forward I'm going to be selling just enough of my torstols on each farming run to hit the break even point, saving the rest for making overloads. I'll have 2 k of each extreme by the end of the weekend.
