Camping Miths
if you can tolerate castle wars and are still intent on camping miths, halos can be a good substitute for neitz.

Barrows vs Frosts
Monster respawn times depend on the world's current population, which is extremely low for foreign servers. I've found that 1 person can keep an entire half of frosts dungeon occupied by themselves on a 100 pop world. Soon as you put a second person in, your idle time is going to be about the same as that on a regular world =/

Equiment advice
It's not a bad cape to have, for the most part it is overshadowed by the fire cape... nevertheless, ardy can be useful if one ever plans to corp. It's nice to work towards long term goals sometimes.

Dungeonsweepers (DGS) - Huge changes; read first post.
It's obvious that there are still many botters out there. Just because they haven't been banned either, does not make their actions right.

f4 switches to mage, and f2 switches to equipment. Where exactly does the need for third party software come in?

Maximum XP During Slayer
Damn... I could understand this if you had a yak, but seriously, how long does it take you to finish blues? Assume you cram a tort and your inventory full, that's 46 slots and Kuradal often assigns around 180, so that's 4 trips at the least... pretty massive waste of time imo, especially when you could use that time to make better cash using an efficient moneymaker

umg speedy bananas with minus million mod and 2k deaths. Still waiting on proper floors(occ/war, no deaths). Inspiring words of encouragement.

Cannon for slayer
weren't you just praising the beauty of herbicide when used on cannoned Aberrants the other day? :P

85-91 Herblore
I'd normally dissect your argument and present a counterargument in an agreeable and understandable manner but I'm just too what is this I don't even What he means is that he is essentially working towards building up the extremes that would have to be made for his end-goal (overloads) eventually. Your argument regarding super defs at 15 gp/xp would be a superior alternative to the OP's ~20gp/xp extremes method, but only under the premise that untradeable potions have a value of 0. This is something which many people (and I'm assuming the OP) would reject, however.

Cannon for slayer
They can't be set up in CT, Kuradal's, Ancient Cavern, and Slayer Tower. I think that covers the high slayer locations... Cannon basically everything you can... black demons at Taverley, hounds at resource dungeon, dags at lighthouse, spectres in desert dungeon, black dragons (if you don't skip/block) in Evil Chicken's, velds at Meiyerditch, dark beasts at temple of light, strykewyrms if you don't skip/block, Kalphites in the new DNE location, greaters in rev dungeon, Suqahs if you don't block/skip Non cannonables... Metals (should be done in ancient cavern/kura's), Blues (also done in kura's), Abby demons (kura), Dusties (CT), Gargoyles (kura), Nechryaels (chins at CT), Waterfiends (CT/Ancient Cavern), TzHaar (Jad). I understand the above listings show some bias in terms of blocked/skipped tasks (imo: aquanites shouldn't be unlocked, LRC should be blocked after maxed melee, Terror Dogs and Warped Torts skipped/blocked, spirit mages skipped, wyverns blocked, fire giants skipped). If you are interested in any of the above, cannons aren't allowed in GWD or Frem Slayer dungeon. I'm not sure about Tarn's Lair/Sewers since I haven't done those quests. You can cannon wyverns and LRC. I'm unclear about Brimhaven Dungeon, but I suspect cannons can't be set up there.

Question about RS Game card
I don't believe the game card stacks, though I could be wrong when it's with regards to recurring membership. The last time I tried to add membership time using a game card, I still had 2 days left on my account and the activation failed with a message along the lines of "Please cancel your current subscription before activating this card."

Clue Scroll Reward Pts. System!
in a nutshell, you're trying to mimic LSP for PvM kills done by a team? I personally don't think the idea is a bad one if the implementation is carefully thought out (natural decay of points, for instance...). I suppose the one fallacy in comparing the two is that LSP is meant to distribute an already obtained drop fairly amongst all that contributed (by dishing out potential) while clues are pure luck. My own stance on the issue is that clues are just a complete waste of time though, and don't pay off at all (elites barely are worth the time investment). On the vein of clue scroll rewards, I think a better solution would be to increase the probability for better rewards while decreasing the drop rates of clues to begin with. Honestly, they're such a common drop that it makes no sense to expect great loot.

Agility
Definitely Gnome, I noticed a ~12k xp/hr difference between the two courses when I was doing 80-85 (this is with horn btw) which imo is worth the cost of summers. I continued to do Gnome up until 94 (which was what I was told the 100% success at Adv Barb was, but I've also heard 92... never tested it personally, so no idea).

Bandos or Elite Void Knight melee?
AZ ape atoll zombie monkeys. Why would you pray protect at AZs?

Trample
Thanks all, makes more sense now =)

Trample
No, I mean it in the context of combat against multiple monsters (I think it has something to do with the mechanics behind why sometimes monsters get blocked behind other monsters in DG while others don't, but I'm not sure)

Trample
This is often talked about like it's something people are just supposed to magically know and understand. Anybody care to elaborate?

Fury vs BCP
I think you can, with current herb prices and if you have Scroll of Cleansing (~10% cost-saving). More than that, the SoC saves 12.5% of secondaries. Can you explain the mathematics here? From my calculations, it only actually saves 11 and one-ninth percent.

Fury vs BCP
I'm pretty sure this is incorrect since the RoW update. Just re-read the RoW update article. I stand corrected.

Fury vs BCP
RoW does not affect specific monster drops such as whip and maul. It only increases the likelihood of getting an item when the drop is from the "rare drop table" (i.e. you first have to get a drop from RDT, and then the RoW reduces the number of blanks, hence increasing the possibility of a "special drop". Specific drops aren't included on RDT so RoW does nothing for them).
