That's the problem i find. It seems that everyone at school is drying to make force you to think that you're a better pilot than everyone else whilst still being modest about it. It's hard to explain, really. I mean i'm extremely comfortable when i fly, and i know that when i do something it's according to the rules and regulations and i'm sometimes overly cautious when it comes down to tough decisions. I guess it's just the fact that you're always under a watchful eye that makes me want to go beyond perfection. I know these things will come with more experience, it's just a matter of time haha.

Regret: I've developed a bad habit. For some reason i stopped eating as much as i should. I often only eat once a day, sometimes i go the whole day without eating simply because i'm either so caught up with studies/flying that i either forget or just can't be bothered to eat. Along with this i have a terrible sleeping pattern. I go to bed in the early mornings, sometimes as late as 10 am, and sleep for a few hours then repeat my routine. My average amount of sleep has probably gone down to 3 or 4 hours a day now. I feel extremely productive but i think it's just a false sense of euphoria because of my sleep deprivation. I am driving myself to a melt down and i'm not sure how to change it at the moment. I feel like i have so much on my plate right now that i'm scared to waste too much time on sleeping. And i guess this is kind of a regret and a confession: I don't believe in myself as much as i should. It's been holding me back a lot the past few months. I've been doing pretty good with my Flight Training but because i lack the self-confidence i should have, i often second guess myself in terms of being ready for either a written exam or a flying exam and i'll postpone them until i feel 100% comfortable (although in reality i would have been ready weeks before i actually decide to take it). It scares me a bit because the biggest part of being a good pilot is being confident in your skills, and i lack that at the moment. Even though deep inside i know i am a good pilot.

It's not a waste of their time because obviously if they thought it was they would have used someone else's FC by now. I think they're doing it to waste Jagex's time, which means that they (the Fishy gang) are winning, and getting exactly what they want. They're playing a good game right now, becoming an annoyance for Jagex. It's funny.

Well basically you're going to have to give up your social life, stock up on Red Bull and Hotpockets, get a supply of empty bottles and develop the habit to click rhythmic in your sleep in order to max out the most efficient way. Red Bull will be for more energy, meaning you'll be able to play for longer. Down side of this is that you're going to crash sooner or later and it's going to be a bad crash. Hotpockets obviously will be your source of food. Empty bottles is for your toilet needs. Going to the toilet to do your business is exp waste. The Rhythmic clicking is so that you can do skills like Crafting, Fletching and Smithing in your sleep. Again so you don't waste any exp. On a more serious note though. Farm runs. Do them as often as you can. Do your best herb. Try fit in at least 1 tree and one fruit tree run a day as well. Do the dailies that offer Exp. Don't bother with dailies that offer a 50k profit. They're a waste of time. Try and do your Daily Challenges as well as they can often be easy and offer a decent amount of experience. Slay your way to Max Combat, that should be pretty obvious. Do C2's for Fishing and Woodcutting. I believe they offer the best combined exp for those two particular skills. Broad Arrows for Fletching. Maybe a bit costly, but fast. Runespan for Runecrafting. Mining + Superheating till 99 Mining and if you're still short on 99 Smithing(which you will be) best Platebodies you can do for, until 99. I beleive Blue Dragonhide Bodies might still be the best method to use for Crafting. So do those. Firemaking at Jadinko Lair. I believe that's one of the best methods. For Agility and Hunter you're gonna have to download a lot of series, i Suggest Dexter Season 1 - whatever it's on now, Walking Dead, Big Bang Theory, Friends (just for some old school laughs), and Game of Thrones, because those two skills will kill you if you do not find some way to distract you from how utterly, horrible, terribly boring they are. Construction you're probably going to want to do Dungeon doors as i believe they're one of the better gp/exp methods (might not be the same anymore, i don't know). Prayer via Dragon Bones (Frost Bones if you can afford it). Herblore you'll probably want to make x-amount of each Extreme Potion and then use them to make Overloads till 99. For Dungeoneering, either find a clan/friends to DG with or do solo floors. You are worth more as a person than having to give in to the frustration that the official/unofficial Dungeoneering worlds will offer. For skills that require money... Learn to flip, or camp GWD, Sell floors in DG (assuming you have the required skill to do so), stake, or something...

Well i know that Skeleton Monkeys are no longer the Exp they used to be. From personal experience Mithril Dragons are around 230k Exp/h and offer a decent amount of Green Charms as well (around 200 if i remember correctly). The Dagganoths in Waterbirth are probably around 150k exp/h and give around 250 Crimsons per hour (this is using a cannon as well, to "lure" them). Rock Lobsters are also still good offering more or less the same exp rates as they did pre-EoC with same charm rates. They are, however, slightly annoying. A bit more than they were pre-EoC. Mithrils are weak to Earth spells, Daggs as well (using Rock Barrage is pretty good there) and Rock Lobs to Ice Barrage as they were pre-EoC. Rock Lobs and Daggs are probably better off using Momentum. With Daggs you'll be running around a lot picking up charms, so using abilities is going to become frustrating. With Rock Lobs using abilities can become a frustration too, and i found it better to just use momentum. Mithrils you'll need to use Abilities in order to get the 200k+ exp/h mark. I'm not 100% sure on the following as i have not tested it myself (although i am about to as soon as i log in), but i think Steel Dragons should be in the range of 200k exp/h too (this is assuming you use the spot in the ice area from the Curses quest).

In general people who have a problem talking to girls when they are sober are the shyer people. And drinking relaxes them, making them more comfortable about their "insecurities". Or it just give them a "[bleep] it" attitude meaning the thought of getting rejected bothers them less. I know this was the case for me and for many of my friends with similar personalities.

Someone warned you not to stake him, yet you still continued?

I'd actually go with Rune 2H Crossbow and switch to Royal Xbow once you get 80 Ranged.

QBD is now easy mode. Managed to get 3 Kills with 20 Rocktails. If i didn't run out of Overloads/Antifire i could have lasted another 2 kills. But at least its fun to know that i have an easy, enjoyable boss to kill now :D

=D>

Well when i was there, she hit around 400s - 500s on me it seemed and i was easily able to SS most of it (if not all of it) back before her next attack. I don't think i dropped below the 5000 LP mark once (keep in mind i only had 6880) and the times i did drop that low was because of a Tortured Soul mess up. Using SS will be a lot more beneficial than using deflect.

After reading what you said about 2H vs 2x in terms of Ranged i tried it out and upgraded my Rune xBow and Offhand for a Royal xBow. Pushed my exp rate from ~120k/h to ~190k/h lol.

That i'm not sure about but 1800+ Also you're not going to need more than 2 or 3 "emergency" rocktails to defeat QBD if you keep SS on.

Yeah to be honest i don't think i'll be using anything but the Ancient spellbook for any PvM combat anymore. Since it's so cheap to use Barrage now it's by far worth it and even more so when you're bossing.

Actually the past two days i spent some time raising my attack from 60 to 75 and i noticed that using a 2H weapon instead of 2x Wielding i managed to increase my Combat exp gains by 15k per hour at the very least. I assume most efficient slayers will have this in mind when on a Melee task. So 2H would be superior to 2x.

Ehhhh, you should have no issue with QBD in all honesty. I jut killed her on my Rune Pure using Batwing and ABS with Bloodfire Barrage, with SS and Torment on and well.... i didn't need to eat once :\

Keeping a conversation alive is a lot easier than it seems usually. It does depend on experience a bit, i guess. But even at first it is not at all as hard as it may seem. I have mentioned this before, but an easy way to keep a conversation going is by asking questions. This is actually a "two birds with one stone" move as not only does it keep the conversation alive, it also makes her feel like you are interested in her. Obviously the kind of interest is going to depend on the kind of questions you ask. I've found that asking about her "hopes and dreams" is usually a good way to start a lengthy conversation. Whenever i feel like a conversation with a girl is about to die out i ask her pretty much this exact questions "So what is your big plan in life?" This will usually lead to her telling you what she plans on doing with her life (obviously as that is what you asked) and then it's pretty simple to keep things going from there on. "Do you plan on staying in [insert country here], or would you like to work abroad?" Depending on her answer it can easily lead to another question: "Why choose [insert country here]?" or something like that. Obviously it's not always going to work, but i have found that 60% of the time it works every time. I know it's a stupid reference to use but what i mean by that is, by the time she has told you about her hopes and dreams she has already made up her mind about whether or not she's going to be interested in seeing you again and if she is still talking to you indications are good that things are going well. A girl is not going to keep a conversation going with a guy if the only thing she's thinking is "God, i want to get out of here." Personally i would not ask her about past relationships from the get go as a question like that could often bring up bitter memories. Another reason is that when you ask about past relationships you shift the focus off of yourself and on to that guy she used to date or the fact that she has not been dating anyone for a very long time. This is a bad move as you want her attention to be on you, not some other guy or the absence of any guy. Also talking about her sex life might give some girls the wrong first impression. If you're only looking for a quick lay, then sure go for it. But if you're actually looking for something more than that, asking a girl you just met about her sex life might give her the impression that you want to get in her pants and have her be gone before the rise of the next morning's sun. In the particular situation that you were in, a few easy ways of keeping the conversation going would have been to ask her what she was studying, where she plans on going with that, why she chose that specific location to study, etc. It seems like a stupid thing to say, but those are questions you can practice on most girls you run in to that are in Uni/College. Kissing a girl for the first time is always a nerve wrecking experience. I remember hearing somewhere that most first kisses usually occur mid-sentence. As silly as it sounds i think it does hold some degree of truth. I remember with my first girlfriend the following happened: We were at a party one night. We had seen each other maybe 2 or 3 times before that in a group environment and every time we saw each other we would spend a lot of time talking/hanging out at the party. I remember talking to my sister about her on the way to the party and she told me that i had to do something tonight to show the girl that i was interested in her. So i was all nerves that night. I watched the clock count down and my time was fast running out. I knew i had to do something before she left but i was not sure how. It's not like you can just walk up to her and kiss her in front of a whole crown. So i waited and i waited. I found an opportunity when she went inside to go to the bathroom. I walked towards her and caught up with her just as she entered the house (we were all outside) and asked her "So where you off to?" even though i knew exactly where she was going. I was just about to take her by the hand and kiss her when someone came out from one of the rooms in the house. So i chickened out and told her i'll see her outside. Night was coming to an end when she came up to me and told me that her driver was waiting for her outside and she was gonna go home. So i told her i would walk her to the car. Now here's where another problem came in. Her friend was going home with her, and i didn't want to kiss her in front of her friend. So i made up an excuse and told her i forgot my phone on the table inside "Come with me so i can get it, it will only take a second." Her friend walked to the car and this we were standing in the dining room where i "forgot my phone" when i took her hand and said "Can i just...." and we kissed. I'm sorry for sharing a stupid story with you that really might not relate to your situation in any way, just reading your post brought back a good memory :) Anyway, back to kissing a girl. Obviously you're going to want somewhere quiet. Since you're already going to be nervous about it, the last thing you need are 100's of judging eyes. So find a way to get her away from the crowd. If it's at a party, tell her to go get a drink with you or take her to a quiet room and tell her you wanted to ask her something. If it's at a restaurant/cinema, wait till you walk her to the car/cab/whatever. Also isolating yourself and her from a crowd often gives a good signal: you want to be alone with her.

Waterfiends are about 150k Exp/h without the use of CB familiars. Black Demons are also pretty good. EDIT: Chinning/Bursting/Barraging Skeleton Monkeys are now dead content as they only give 77 Exp per kill.

Name: Fire Giants Level: 134 Life-points: 3350 / 5990 Weakness: Slash Location: Chaos Tunnels Might be a good idea to include the location of said monster too, then. Since their weaknesses change from location to location it would be of no use to to know their weakness if we do not know which location.

"Okay, we're good." L0l

When you string a Dragon c'bow (u), you're given the option to make either the crossbow, off-hand crossbow or 2h crossbow. As far as I'm aware all of them should be untradeable, and hence not appear in the GE. How do they all compare to Rune/Royal/Arma/Chaotic crossbows?

I know it's still pretty early days, and my question might be a bit premature as the most efficient training spots might not have been discovered yet, but i was wonder where a good place would be to train Melee now? I currently have 75 Attack and i guess i want to get it to 90 or so. As it is i am training at Fire Giants as they seem to be pretty good. I'm getting around 180k Exp/H there using a Godsword. I don't really mind something that's slightly slower (nothing under ~150k/h though) if it has a good Crimson rate. I know Dust Devils are good (might just get the Slayer Level for them if i need to) but i'm sure there is something better out there.

For those of you who don't know yet:

Why do you care? All you do is stake anyway. That's exactly why he cares, cause staking is no longer what it was.

Now this is Runescape :D I like EoC :thumbup:
