Can anyone provide links to support the "ZMI Bank is bad" claim? Not saying it isn't true, but I'd like to see the math behind it.

Tokkul in my opinion.

you mean in multi combat? only if there are monsters nearby (afaik) No, its based on multicombat vs single combat. Go with Korasis + DDef and Claw specs.

Slayer experience: mediocre/below average Profit: decent, can get lucky Charms: mediocre/bad Effigies: mediocre I factored Ugune seeds into my profit calculations. If you don't use juju farming pots/have an abundance of seeds (I got 99 hunter before Herblore Habitat was introduced, so I'm constantly low on Ugune.)

Is Skills Neck to Crafting guild then banking at Castle Wars/Damonheim not the fastest method?

I had a task of 198. I received just under 61k experience for the task and the task took 1 hour 40 minutes (~37k slayer experience per hour). Additionally, I received 26 blue charms in those 198 kills and slightly less crimson charms. I also received a whip vine drop (sold for just over 5m). The primary reason that I enjoyed the task, however, was that after I was done, I collected seeds and teleport bags from the offering stone and received 3 samaden and 3 ugune seeds, so in my opinion they're worth it. Slayer Experience: Above Average Profit: Excellent Charms: Mediocre Speed: Average

Glad I didn't level it up yet. It's experience based, not time based, so the amount of experience you can gain is gated, and one would likely use up their ring quickly on summoning.

Feel free to have it. The only useful thing from this update is the ring, and its yet to be seen if spending your time gathering resources would better be spent training the skill itself. Any extremely large t7 clan looking for someone who will gather and might chime in in chat, but ultimately just wants his weekly ring?

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.

Attempting to glean some usefulness from this update, are the seed drop rates (notably Ugune and Samaden) good/better than hunting draconics?

Question, what is a sagaie? I must have missed it somewhere... According to the KB: "Sagaies are made using items gained from the Jadinko Lair. They are made by fletching fire-hardened vines (use a straight vine on a firepit in the Jadinko Lair) and then attaching mutated vines to the shafts. Sagaies do more damage the further you are away from your target. This comes at the sake of accuracy, but the damage they do more than makes up for it. Sagaies can be equipped with a shield to give you better defence. Note that, as sagaies contain no metal, they cannot be attracted by Ava's attractor. Also note that they do extra damage against mutated jadinko slayer creatures."

Any info on what the charm droprate is?

Air battlestaves are 3.5 gp/exp. I'd continue crafting them unless money is an issue. Construction is ~3 gp/exp using SC hammers, 6 gp/exp without. Smithing is 2gp/exp using gold ore, 3gp/exp using addy plates (I believe). Woodcutting ivy is 70-80k exp/hour, although teaks are faster, but require more input. If you ever have any desire to upgrade your cannon, you should do it while the ~1.5 million smithing exp is useful. Similarly, I'd advise you go ahead and finish Livid Farm. The exp is very nice and Remote Farming is ~400k extra gold per day. Don't forget to do your assists daily. The extra 30k exp adds up quickly.

I knew I should have bought the Facepalm emote. Only lasting update of this year has been Troll Invasion x.x That said, Jagex has really missed the boat on incentivizing clans. While a few years ago, before the removal of the old Wild and free trade, clans had actual purpose, clans now don't have as much presence or meaning. Runescape is less an MMO and more a single player game that has other people (who are most often bots) in it. Edit: And yeah, I'm mad that people are being paid to sit around making more and more [cabbage]ty clan updates.

I don't understand why people feel we should be penalized for leveling our combat stats.
