I felt the same way. I grabbed a dragonfire shield and I felt like it got significantly easier. I basically switched out barrows + deflector for void gloves + dragonfire shield. Don't know it was just the mentality or what.

More resources = More exp? Unless the extra resource you would've gotten gives 0 exp. But that makes no sense (not saying Jagex doesn't do things that make no sense butttttttttttt......)

Sorry to hear that you started a new account! :( What about all that time lost from MA?! Congrats on all your achievements (even though you're abandoning them!) and mostly for doing better in school! Good luck on your zerker :P

lul. It's still better to C2 then to fish. They nerfed it by making some spot give half the exp it normally does (or half the fish which would result in the same loss in exp), I'm not sure which. However, the fact that C2s clear the floors you would C1 - more then makes up for the loss in exp. And gatherer will definitely help with the exp gains.

Or anything other then fletching and dropping for that matter :P

TBH, I wanted to prepare loads and loads for skills before I started. (Not just DG, slayer/summining/herblore and all that too) However, in my experience - I think that this is one of those things that isn't extremely difficult and all the explaining makes it unnecessarily complicated. The best thing is - just do a few DGs first. Note: Only kill monsters in guardian rooms/boss rooms at first. Reset your prestige after ALL your floors are done (ticked off). The general idea is do most of your floors C1 (the first 75%) and do the last 25% C6 (I think most people tend to do them as mids). After you go through a bunch of DGs, you might want to read a few things to get deeper into it. (You'll learn about optimal binding/room clearing/avoiding taking damage/gatestone placement. However, have either the wiki/tip.it puzzle door solutions answers open as you do it. Try to get into doing larges as soon as you can. I found this to be really helpful. There are a lot of helpful guides about this, but I would do at least 5-10 floors before reading into all these things. Before you start keying/doing larges, you should DEFINITELY look into the "Map Reading & Team Organization" guide. I feel that it was really well written as well as extremely informational. EDIT: What exactly is the Jagex Rule Violation?

of course the best inst' all of them, that being said you just saying every herb is equally good... wich isnt farm torstols Always use juju farming on herbs. Make every effort to use them on torstols or whatever the most expensive herb you can farm is, using boosts if need be, but it's always worth it to use them when herb farming. What a waste of time. Don't waste them on anything but torstol. In the most cases, you'll get much more juju pots then you could use just on herb farming. (Assuming that you're being smart about hunter and you're sometimes using different methods to farms - i.e tree/fruit trees/allotments) In fact, not using jujus would be a waste - you spend all the time in getting, why not use them? However, the popular herbs to use it on are snapdragons + torstol. But I think people haven't really thought about the other herbs, because Lantadymes + Dwarf Weeds aren't exactly cheap either considering how much snapdragons have fallen.

Have you ever had any experience with flipping? Or merching on RS at all? Because truly, short term investments is EXACTLY how you make money. If you try to go for long term investment - chances are extremely high that you will lose money (unless you're super duper rich and you're just buying phats/halloween masks/santas/etc) If you don't believe this, randomly think of 5 items and check up their 180 day price change on the GE. I'm pretty sure all of those 5 items will have a negative price change (and if its positive the price probably started at 5 gp and rose to 7 gp or something along those lines. Price trend may not always be an accurate depictor of what is a good/bad trade. Unlike the stock market where you're forced to sell at exactly the market price, the GE gives farm more leeway. You can change your price inbetween and I've experimented with items that have pretty stable price trends but they can offer amazing profit as well. Also, the GE trends are based on the average of prices that an item goes through. If you're flipping, you're buying low and selling high. The average of these two are way closer to the median and as a result, you wouldn't change the GE median much which then distort the trend you would like to see.

TBH, those items are very "wanted/known" flipping items. Generally, you want to have some market power (buying for min/a little over and sell for a little under max). These items (in my experience) seem to be not the ones that people need every day but rarer items. Also, go for items that people wouldn't normally flip. Easy to flip items (like armors/weapons) are good for people inexperienced with flipping but they also have a bad turn over/gp ratio. Simply since it's so easy and everybody can do it. However, I'm only speaking for what I've been doing. I started off with bandos and I was making about ~3-4 mil a day while training for most of the day. However, that profit was cut pretty soon because it seemed like everybody was getting into barrows. After reading a few guides, I started flipping items that aren't super common (i.e not the most daily traded items) and went for random items. This produced way better profit (although for some of these items, it required that I be at the GE pretty often).

There's no real reason to get bandos without piety/berserker/fury/extremes? There's sometimes a discrepancy between skills + items. Skills may be more beneficial but they're only attainable at discrete intervals. It would be beneficial for to just have the best items you can afford and sell them off when you can attain the skill level needed for what you want. Posting a screenie/some img with your skills may be help us with different ways to advise you how to make money/be more efficient

TBH, you're probably off getting a berserker first. Slayer isn't great gp/hr (until the later levels but that's just mediocre gp/hr). You should be doing dailies/MTK/farming for money. If you need more money, feel free to camp dragons (green in CT, blue in taverley, and black in the evil chicken lair) Greens are upwards of 1 mil per hour which is amazing and in a few hours - you can have enough for both barrows + berserker + piety.

TBH, no it will not go back in price. You have pretty decent combat stats, it shouldn't be too hard to make money. Plus farming was never an only means of making money (you only get to farm every hour and a half pretty much anyways) - just a nice supplement. You can also get your hunter up and get your farming to 85 (a good way to do this is via livid farms). Then start using jujus on torstols - you'd make a lot more then just farming snapdragons.

Additionally, Dung goes up to level 120. AFAIK, you shouldn't be clearing all your floors as C2. I thought it was just the ones that you would've cleared as C1s anyways. This way you're just "using" that time difference it takes (C2-C1) and divide the total fishing exp gained by that to get it relative to good of a method it is versus normally fishing. Of course, this exp for C2 fishing could be easily increased with the gatherer ring.

Assuming you're merching right (you do have a 500 m cash pile) you should be looking at more expensive fletching methods. As everybody said yews suck (especially since you have access to magics). Anyhow, broad bolts are kind of annoying (the exp got nerfed and according to grimy - it's about 77k an hour). One good thing is that you can sell the broad bolts pretty fast. You don't really need the insane amounts of broad bolts that you're going to gain even if you training slayer. TBH, with the cannon and a select task - you probably won't end up needing that much range exp at all.

I think he's referring to his RC level (lower RC = not as good runes crafted = less exp) However, I'm not sure about this (death runes are pretty slow no?) and ZMI is pretty good exp regardless. I'm slighty confused as to why you wouldn't want to use a familiar...

Your stats are pretty low - so you might as well re-start your account if you just want to PK on it. It may not matter at all ever, but there's also that chance that the 3 def would just put you up a level from killing others. Ideally, your atk should be 45 (for gravite), max range (if you become members - i know its popular to train at ranging guild for 0 hp exp) Max str, and I don't really know what people do with prayer. Some people get it to 43 for the protection prayers, some get it just for the stat boosting and some just dont use it at all.

-You should be aiming for 10-13 minutes, but really, you should be aiming towards large floors. DGS doesn't do anything but c1 smalls and F30-60 larges, so practicing on meds can only help you so much. As for cutting time, you should memorize all of the puzzle rooms and how to do them. There's a list of these rooms in Tip.It's Dungeoneering Guide (under "Puzzles") that will be of much use to you. Also, are you using gatestones, appropriate combat styles (e.g., maging warriors, crushing skeletons, etc.)? -No, this is wrong. Potion doors not only affect the bonus room percentage but also the base floor experience. (If you want to know by how much, I can post you the list, but, in short, do as many skill doors as you reasonably can.) -70 Runecrafting is very, very important, especially if you're doing solo floors where the ability to use magic attacks can speed up floor times dramatically. -Yes, you should get 70 rc and bind a csb over your current ammo bind. I'm not going to list every single weakness - as there are many, many of them - but they can all be found on RS Wikia if you search the monsters' names. -It depends on your prestige. Your teammates will get the same amount of base experience as you, but their prestige will dramatically alter how much experience they get from a given floor. I know that I get somewhere around 85k experience for F30 (at 55 prestige). -DO NOT DO LEECH FLOORS. You're only hurting yourself by doing so not to mention that you'll never do a floor in DGS with that mindset. If you want more experience, learn to key floors for yourself, and host them. Open your resource dungeons (this helps drastically at lower levels). -Stomp is annoying. Pray range, and melee him until he throws things at you. Pick up two crystals, and stick them on the colorful blocks once Stomp is invisible. If he blocks off access to one of the colorful blocks, don't stick a crystal on the other; just wait until the blocking rocks clear. Repeat 3x if it's a large floor. I just wanted to add for Stomp: Make use of your gatestone, drop your personal gatestone in front of one of the stones, and your group gatestone over the other stone. This is in case you leave to pick up crystals but then the rocks that stomp throws blocks the space needed to get back. Take the hit if necessary (instead of having some unpassable route that even the gt/personal tele won't solve. In teams (when you're clearing as C1s or what not), you can have your team spam click him as right as he turns from invulnerable -> vulnerable. I'm not 100% on the mechanics of this (I think if you all click on the same tick), but sometimes he bypasses one of his invulnerable states (that is if you all do enough damage) As for pottable doors - go grab the list of ingredients/pots that people post in their notes. (You can find some a few pages back). Pick up whatever herbs you can find and some secondary. Buy some vials in the beginning and bring humidify runes. This will be helpful both because you'll be able to get the most exp you can while practicing what DGS refers to as snaping (i.e making pots without losing much time - genius reference btw :P) As for puzzles - the only real advice anybody can offer is to know them. When you're doing mediums - you should get most of them and you just sort of memorize (without trying really) how to do all of them. Additionally, READ the trivia - DGS often posts tons of quicker/ingenous ways to do puzzles. I HIGHLY recommend reading all the past trivia (I learned a lot about ferret mechanics/etc) One important thing is in larges. I notice that sometimes people either don't know how to do puzzles or they rather not. Often times, I'll see a puzzle room that somebody has come across but neither gated/reported/finished. Do not be afraid to learn (after all that's what DGS is all about). Do read the way to do puzzles for the ones you haven't done and approach them as soon as possible. TBH, it doesn't take more then two or three times to know how to do the puzzle pretty quickly. -- In addition, don't look too much at a monster's weakness. Other factors come into affect as well (accuracy mainly 2h vs. battle axe - so defense as well, level, etc) Also when other people are on the team - it also affects what you attack and when. For example, theres a zombie and a skeleton in a room. There's a 2h and a baxe, even though the skeleton is weak to crush - the baxe (whose crush is a lot closer to slash then the 2h is) targets the zombie because it has extremely low defense and the 2h gets the skeleton. I'm super simplifying things - but if as you DG, you'll learn the ways to maximize DPS. A lot of keyers will say what goes on what and over time you just will memorize everything.

It wasn't directed at you. Sorry I didn't make that clear. It's okay. I got confused. I thought you said I was trolling, but you were telling me he was trolling. OT: Snaps will probably not sell for a long time, so instead of waiting a long time to sell them for way under market, turn them into unfinished snapdragon potions and sell for -5%. ...All prices are different and cannot be compared in terms of % above or below GE price. Turning the snap into unfinished pots is going to take time and he might as well just dump the snaps when he can and make money using other ways. It also depends on if he has a scroll of cleansing and myriads of other reasoning. I would just hoard it for now, and unload in the future. I can't stand things like making unfinished potions/etc because there's so much other skills to level and the profit from these aren't so good (especially since all the prices of herbs + unf potions are so volatile - a few hours may mean a few mil or so decrease in profit and make even count for a loss)

Just summoning xp - it seems. I'm sure you can look up people training mage pures (although, bursting would increase their hp) There's bound to a few either lurking on Tip.it/RSOF (but again I don't know) Or you can always tag along to some power slayer who already has 99 summoning. (ASK ENAID!!!!)

The summer garden isn't a good way to train thieving (one clicking is annoying especially with how the bots manage to screw up the elementals) If you dont want to pp yet - go for monkey knife fighters In the beginning, try to grab as many healing items (the more per slot the better) as well as a regen bracelet. You should able to knock them out and pickpocket twice before they wake up. It's not really hard - but it does require concentration. However it seems that most thieving techniques require pretty high concentration

Would it make more sense for you to post your stats so people can tell you what you can do? Anyhow, -Rock Lobster (most people burst/barrage for this - so you need ancients and a decently high magic level) -Waterfiends (no real requirement) - if you wanna do it in CT, you should either have pretty high combat stats (closed to max) or a unicorn or overload/brewing -Black demons - cannon, but its been pretty [cabbage]ty with all the bots -Slayer - no requirements really

Fire is pretty much the best on all of them. Save Mithril/Steels (maybe? double check on steel) which Ardy is good for. Assuming you slay in bandos/str gear - you could possible use the SW cape for something where you need slightly more then one inventorys worth of pray pots so it can save you a trip. However, I can't really think of many tasks where this might be the case. Possibly wfs? I haven't gotten them as a task in a long time (at least not when familiarisation was up) but I did remember having to bank my first time there

If the OP was worried about effeiciency, why would they be at rock lobsters in the first place? Even if we're not looking at my stats - what else is a good way to train my summoning? I can't do much in CT cause I don't even have a summoning familiar... Without turmoil/ss, I can't really do wfs in CT either. Cannoning black demon is bad due to the bots. I'm not aware of any other way to get charm/summoning exp.

I don't really understand what you mean by repetitive (isn't that most of RS)? Anyhow, for combat you can -kill green dragons in the CT -kill blue dragons in Tav Dungeon -Kill black dragons in that evil chicken lair -Kill frost dragons in resource dungeon Otherwise you can -do herb runs/dailies/MTK -pick mort myre fungus Somebody should compile a list and just copy/paste it every time a money making question comes up. (Kind of like Enaid's super complete how to prepare for slayer)

Well, the only real purpose it is providing water runes It's +10 m. atk and it provides unlimited water runes (which realistic is about 3-4k gold per hour) The mages book is +15 and a cast (4 deaths at 278 + 2 bloods at 316) would mean that if you missed two times more with the tome as opposed to the mages book then you would better off with the mage book. Also the magebook is resell able while outside of this, the tome of frost has no real use.
