14-Sept-2011 � Ritual of the Mahjarrat
Lol you want an 1m xp reward? I think those big xp rewards are big enough. You have 11m xp, I have over 275m. For you, 1m xp is a lot. For me, not so much. Its all in perspective. I'll wait for a guide. Homework then a game of LoL before class. Sounds epic though! Yeah but the quest doesn't require you to have 200m+ xp does it? So it is a lot for the quest reqs. Totally illogical attempt at an argument. Quest rewards are not tied directly to what is needed for the quest. And half a million xp is around 2-3 hours of skilling, if that. Lol, you are now saying that it doesn't matter if it is a GM quest or not for the rewards. So a novice quest could get 500k xp. Also try to get 500k runecrafting xp in 3 hours, maybe it would work with effigies but only if you are maxed. I think you're totally misunderstanding what Stonewall is trying to say.

Penance master horn on 95-99 agility
Confirmed. This is a very accurate description. I personally never got a decent team for all the 10-12 rounds. Usually it takes about 10 hours for me with short breaks. This means i do 10 hours of B.A. instead of 10 hours of running in circles on a course. I prefer B.A. Yeah playing on w6 with random team members is frustrating. You're going to spend a good 10 - 15 minutes finding a team worth playing with. Most of them have no idea how to quickstart after waves, so you waste another few seconds standing around waiting for the next wave to start. All in all though, even if it takes you 8 - 10 hours to fill the horn you're still going to come out with at least the same exp rate you would have gotten had you not been using the horn. in this case it comes down to personal preference. Do you prefer BA or Agility? Personally i enjoy mixing it up like that. I'll spend an hour or two each day filling my horn, spend the rest of that day on mining. Once my horn is full i'll do agility for a day or two, untill it's empty, then repeat.

Penance master horn on 95-99 agility
Yeah, like said above, it's going to depend on whether or not you're in a team. Filling the horn takes about 10 - 12 full rounds (the full 10 waves) which gives you between 100 and 120 waved to fill your horn. It's said that with a steady, decent team you can fill the horn in 5 - 6 hours. A full horn lasts for ~1.2m Exp. 1.2m Exp takes about 20 hours of agility training @ 60k/exp an hour, which i would say is realistically achievable. With a full horn the same 1.2m exp is going to be achieved in 10 hours. This means for each full horn you would save yourself 4 - 5 hours on each 1.2m exp. This pushes your Exp rate upto 75k - 80k exp/h. So theoretically it should be worth it, but finding a team that would enable you to fill the horn in 5 - 6 hours is going to be a task of it's own.

When training melee, do you guys
"I am just a tad OCD" Would be more correct if he said "I suffer from slight OCD" A person cannot be a disorder. A person can only have or suffer from a disorder. Hi, my name is Charlie and i am AIDS/Cancer/Herpes/Cold/Flu. Now that doesn't make much sense does it :\

When training melee, do you guys
Keeping your levles even/close to each other has nothing to do with OCD. And you cannot "be ocd" but you can have it or suffer from it. This isn't a help/advice topic either. Should be in general discussion under questionares. Protip: don't self diagnose yourself with an illness when you have no idea what it really is.

Question about Jad
You can take out the Verac Skirt and just use the Guthans Skirt. Also replace the DFS with an unholy book. If you dont have one just keep the DFS. When i was a lower level my setup looked almost exactly like that. Since this is your first attempt i think your setup is perfect.

96-99 Farming
Honestly, the biggest mistake i made was rushing 99 Farming. Farming in one of the few non-combat skills left (if not the only) that makes really good profit at the higher levels. If i were you i would stick to doing ONLY Tortsol Herbs along with daily assists. It's going to take you longer to get to 99 but it's going to be much more worth it.

Today...
Yeah its kinda funny tbh. I went for the appointment the day after that whole episode. The doctor told me that he'd try and push me in that day or put me on the shortlist. Apparently its the only EEG machine in the country so needles to say it has a big waiting list. We showed up at ~7am, when they open. There wasn't a soul in sight. I did the test, took 20 minutes. When i finished there was still no one besides me there. Busy heh? Anyway the certificate is needed for the Aviation School i plan on attending.

CLS now or later?
There is a lot of debate between rapier vs cls at graardor, but i think CLS wins by a fairly significant margin. At least a kill or two more per trip, and definatley worth the inventory space (assuming you bring rapier to kill minions) There's no debate. CLS is better than a rapier against Graardor, and rapier is better for minions. All of this information can be found on another site. *cough* Another site. I c wut u did der :wink: It has been confirmed that the CLS is better on Graardor. But the question is how often you do bandos. If it's fairly often, then I'd say go for the CLS. But Rig and CCB is better for ranging, but that's specifically for Nex and Tormented demons as far as bosshunting. And you wouldn't even want to use rig on TDs as far as i know. In your situation, i think the CLS would be the best to get. Rig Piety for TDs is almost as efficient as Turmoil. I'd almost go as far as saying that if you're using a Uni Rig Piety beats turmoil. And if you're going to TD you shouldn't be using a CCbow anyway. CCbow is for Nex/Arma.

Taking a break. I need input.
Nah would be more than possible. I was thinking of logging in maybe once or twice a day, try and flip a bit. But there's always the chance that i'll not be able to logg in for a week or two at all

CLS now or later?
Personally i always get the items i want the most, last. Reason for doing so is that it keeps me motivated to stick to my goal. It would also depend on personal use. The Staff is a lot like the CLS in terms of usability. There's only a few places you can use it (or where they are worth using) without having to resort to unconventional methods. These places would be DKs and Ice Wyrms tasks where the use of magic takes a primary role. Seeing as you don't have the requirement for Ice Wyrms, you already have 99 Magic (canceling the possible use on the Staff on Metal Dragon tasks) i would say that the only real use you will find for the Staff is at DKs. If you DK a lot get it the staff before the CLS. Both after rigour.

Taking a break. I need input.
Selling things i don't really need/use now or won't need/use for a long time because i'm giving whatever i get for selling it to a friend who recently got hacked/keylogged. Figured the money would be put to better use that way. Question added to OP.

Training ranged
If you're training Range through Slayer i would suggest Rune Darts or Black Knives. As you're still low combat and low Slayer you're going to be assigned monsters with virtually no defense (or at least a very low defense) so knives and/or darts would be perfect. Rune Crossbow would be better for monsters with a higher defense level (Metal/Black Dragons for one).

Taking a break. I need input.
I'm taking a break for 2 or 3 months and i want to get rid of a few things that i don't really need. I only skill these days, with the occasional trip to TDs, DKs and Bandos and every now and then i'll Duo Arma with a friend. I have Armadyl, full Bandos. Void (Ranger + Melee), Void Deflector, Fury, Zerker, Archer, DFS and all the other basics. After maxing i'll go back to Slayer and the aforementioned "bosses". Is there any reason for me to keep Armadyl Skirt and Helm? Any reason to keep the Bandos Chestplate? I'll most likely go back to using either Proselyte or a Verac Skirt + Proselyte Chest when i get back to slaying. The bosses i do don't require the use of a Bandos Chestplate nor Arma Skirt and Helm. Is there any reason to keep these items? EDIT: I have about 2k Snapdragons that i've farmed over the past week or two. What would be a good price to put them in the G E for? Not really bothered if they take a few weeks to sell, i just don't want to come back in a month or two and find that none of them have sold. I was thinking 6 000 - 6 500?

Would the Chaotic Maul be good for training strength?
Rapier should beat Maul at Waterfiends too. If you have to choose between one of the two, Rapier is the one to get.

83-96 pouches to make
Wow ive been looking for that link for ages now. Lost it when i got a new laptop. Thanks!
-
Would the Chaotic Maul be good for training strength?
Its not going to be a great option. It's slow speed means that it's easily out dps'd by SS and rapier.

How far would you go in defence of a loved one/family?
When i was about 2 or 3 years old we had just moved into a new house. We built the house ourselves, which in those days in South Africa, especially in the neighborhood we lived in was a sign of some wealth. Needles to say we became a target for burglaries. So we had been living in the house for about 3 or 4 weeks when one day we got home from my mom's parents. As my dad got out of the car to open the garage door 5 black guys jumper out of nowhere. I guess they were around but we just didn't notice them because we weren't exactly looking out for them. So anyway 3 of them pull out guns. 1 of them pulled me and my sister out of the car (she was 5 or 6) and he took us inside the house and told us to go hide under the table. Anyway 2 of them dragged my dad out of the car and held a gun up to his head. The other two pulled my mom out of the car. I think the neighbor came outside (he was a very nosy person and would run outside whenever he heard our car in the driveway, probably to [bleep] about something like he usually did) and 2 of the guys ran off. The two that were holding my mom. Anyway my mom was instructed to get her purse out of her handbag. Now these were the good old days when people still carried guns with them. So my mom had her magnum in her handbag. To this day i am not sure what happens as we don't really talk about it, but somehow and for some reason the 3 guys that were left started running in different directions when they saw my mom's gun. My dad was yelling at her to shoot the guy. She once told me that no matter how much she hated them at that moment, no matter how badly she wanted to shoot them, it's just so much different and harder to do when you're in the position to do so. Anyway, that being said, i would gladly take a bullet for any member of my family but i would never kill for them. I don't think i am strong enough to kill anyone.

Rugby World Cup 2011
England just got their Get out of jail free card. Totally did not deserve the win. Game was appalling in general to be honest. After seeing this i doubt that England will get further than the Quarter-finals.

Bandos Gear
I find Dragonfire Shield to work a lot better on Solos. I can easily pull off 20 - 22 kills with DFS on a solo which is usually about 5 or 6 more than i can manage with a D Def.

Cyberbullying
How did she lose friends from this? Why do her parents look at her differently? Were the essay's contents actually true? She lost friends because after the letter her friends found out that she had slept with their boyfriends. Although she is only partly at fault, she still could have said no. She betrayed her friends. Would you still want to call a person like this your friend? Her parents always thought they raised the perfect little girl. If you knew her you would know how good she was at actually hiding her true self from her parents. Her parents were well known within their own community and now had to carry the shame of their daughter. A lot of parents found out about this and a lot of them voiced their opinions about my ex-friend towards her parents. She caused her parents a lot of inconvenience because of her behavior. And sadly the content of the letter was true. At least 90% of it at least. So this is basically her fault that she is upset. She sacrificed long-term well-being for short-term gratification. She was dishonest as well. Though, I personally do not believe women should be condemned in any way for having sex with as many guys as they want (as long as they don't have any STDs, or if they do, they let their partner know in advance). I don't even condemn her for sleeping with her friends' boyfriends, but that is another story. It's her ignorant family and friends which are amplifying the drama in the situation. I had a long reply typed out, but when i re-read it i found that it made little sense.Basically, I think it's unfair to put all the blame on her. It's not fair to blame her being bullied on herself and her lifestyle. No one should have to be bullied because of their (stupid) choices. And i don't think it's fair calling her family and friends ignorant either. Not unless you personally know them and know how they operate as a family/friends-circle. This seems to make little sense too, to be honest :s
