Inb4WeWaste3PagesOfWorthlessDiscussionFromTheAbovePost. Anyways Congrats SUOMI! Next up rank 1, then 200m all skills :thumbsup:

bu11seye00 had over 44m mage xp before he got his mage xp reset. It appears he only abused the bug for 1m mage xp or so, and being reset all the way back down to 11.8m mage xp is not a fair punishment in my opinion. Resetting him 33m mage xp because he abused 1m xp of it is too harsh.

Thought this was interesting. According to Mod Chrisso it's a glitch though.

Thanks so much, all my questions are answered.

Hmm, that makes sense. I'm still somewhat worried about my team raging at me because of my items lol. But then again, it's better than what I currently use. If I learned to key well, you still suggest the same binds for keying right? I'm pretty sure I'd need the same binds for it. Happen to have any info for the 2 type of rings I should use?

In result, have nothing against most of the rangers and mages right?

Well I'm currently 92 dungeoneering and would love to make a push for 99+ dungeoneering. Taking 1 hr+ long dungeons in w117 is no longer cutting it and is getting quite frustrating. But once logging into w148, I just felt intimidated and out of my league with all the high level 130s. This is because I am a level 120 range tank, with just 74 attack and strength. Because melee is the dominant form for dungeoneerers, my DPS is already inferior. Ranging has gotten me to level 92 dungeoneering in w117 but I feel like it won't be accepted in w148 since ot's the worst combat method in dungeoneering. So as a range tank, what is the best method to dungeoneer. My current binds are an SSH, Sagg short bow, 120 Sagg arrows. My total level is 2375, so I know I can be helpful skill wise. My current method is not to key. I start out ranging until I gather enough coins to buy 1k rune ess, I then make fire surge runes. I switch between range and fire surge when necessary. Main questions: ---- Non keyer ----- - Should I just melee with Katagon weapons, Range with Sagg bow and arrows, or Mage with fire Surge. - What should my binds be (as non keyer)? - What type of Ring should I use? ----Keyer---- - If my better option was to be a keyer, what should my combat attack be? - As a keyer, what should my binds be? - What type of Ring would I use? Current stats:

Is there a special reason your atk/str is at 74? It seems kind of high to be (for a tank). I think you would probably have more fun maxing this account, then starting a new one which can be a special range tank (and leave atk/str at 1 or something) Nah, I'm at the max Attack and Strength level for a range tank, the combined level must be level 148 or lower (non-melee based). In fact, a range tank with 1 attack and strength level would be the same exact level as I am with my 74 attack and strength. Also a range tank with 1 attack and strength would have much more limitations in questing and all the items needed to be a great tank would not be available.

Yeah, I'm aware that no one tell me what to do and what I like, but the reason I'm asking is because there is a few things I would enjoy doing...aswell as a few things that I haven't thought of that I would enjoy doing. Even though I wouldn't be able to get the completionist cape, I like the idea of doing some of the useful requirements. I just recently became interested in XP after 99 all of sudden (especially after folowing the "200m in all skills" in the General Discussion forum, but I wouldn't want to dedicate my life to Rs like that lol). But yeah, unfortunately I wouldn't be able to get the Quest cape with my current attack and strenght level. I appreciate the replies and ideas so far, there already has been a few mentioned that I hadn't thought of.

Recently I've been thinking about what I'd like to do in the future once I complete my current goals. My initial goal is to complete a fully Maxed Total Range tank (2446 total level) - 74 attack & strength, 99 all skills, and 120 dungeoneering. Yes I'm aware that I have quite a bit to go but I'm quite sure I'll complete this within a year. And assuming I'd like to continue playing (quitting may be a possibility) after I complete this goal, I'm trying to figure out what my next step will be after finishing. The reason I'm trying to figure this out now is because (for example) if my next goal was 20m+ xp in all skills, I'd want to start farming right now. A 2496 maxed player's goal would probably the completionist cape afterwards, but as a range tank I'm not interested in maxing attack and strength. I'm somewhat interested in xp after 99 skills, only because I HOPE that eventually Jagex will raise the skill cap to all 120 skills to help prolong the game. Please don't suggest: - Raise Attack and Strength to Max out --- I'm simply not interested in that. - Quit Rs - That is an option, my question is for assuming I want to keep playing. Ideas that I've thought of: - XP goals (ex: 20m xp+ in a few/all stats) - 200m xp in a skill or 2 (Range would be my first choice) - A melee based pure - Make a new level 138 account As of now, I'd love to make a new account afterwards, but then I'm kinda nervous that Jagex will eventually raise the skill cap.... But I'd love to hear opinions and ideas, Thanks!

Meh he's a meleer now so he now longer counts as beating me :P Anyone know of anyone who is still range/mage based cb with 2314+ total? (although I will have to actually beat the total he reached before it counts properly - which is 2413, 100 above where I am now) I'm still mage/range based (just barely) with 2367 total ;)

this. you also cant get kicked out of teams if your the one hosting. DGS teams don't kick. :shades: you have high total, so yeah best bet is to key. This kind of leads me to another question. Remember I'm a range tank so it may be somewhat of a unique question since it doesn't relate to a majority of people. It's been established that ranging is inefficient and shouldn't be used at all (apart from a hexhunter bow which I do not have). I'm below 100 dungeoneering so I can only have 2 binded items. So other than my SSH, as a Keyer would my other item binded be an empowered fire staff so I can deal damage (this is what I assume) or a promethium plate for defense while keying (sounded like a decent option to me, but could be a very stupid idea for all I know lol)?

Fair enough, hah I guess that makes more sense than my proposed idea lol. Guess I better work on my keying skills, thanks for the replies.

Certain keyers will allow you on their teams if all you have is a hood and empowered fire staff/celestial catalytic staff (using fire surge, of course). Ranged is absolutely forbidden unless you have a hexhunter, however. Efficient dungeoneering means using melee. @ Sonikku - Taking banned players completely negates the ban. Why ban them if they still get to reap the benefits of the chat? There are plenty of dungeoneering clans to choose from. DGS isn't right for him. So my best bet if I were to dungeoneer with DGS is to bind an empowered fire staff/celestial catalytic staff and hope that the keyer will allow me to dungeorneer with them?

After looking over the rules and requirements to join DGS, does it mean Range Tanks can't really join? With such low attack and strength levels, a melee weapon wouldn't be too great leaving me with just range & mage as options. Will using range/mage as my only options of offense cause me to get kicked from teams?

If you were going to keep a weapon just to spec wouldn't a Dark Bow be a better spec weapon than a msbow? Hmm, someone else suggested a Karils xbow which means I could replace the accumulator for a Soul wars cape on those task, but is Karils xbow cost effecient where it greatly speeds up the task like a cannon would? Basically would the Bolt racks put a great dent in my bank gp wise lol? or is it nothing compared to the price of cannoning task? And a Dark bow for the Spec would make sense if I did that; would using up an Invent spot for the Bow + arrows be worth it?

Oops, yeah I meant Ava's alerter; Edited it. Oh yeah, the cannon and I are best friends lol. I cannon any task possible :thumbsup: I went ahead and added all the task that I cannon.

Thank you, Yes, I've heard the same about Aquanties and those two Warped tasks, luckily I never unlocked them in the past :^_^: Speed is more important to me, so I'll go ahead and upgrade to an Archer's ring, as you've stated, I'm sure I'll do just fine without the Row. As the above poster mentioned I should do, I'll now rigour every task, Thanks! From what I remember when glancing at the quest when it first came out, I think one of the pre quests required or rewarded lots of attack or strength xp which I shy away from. Edit: one of the prequest rewards 7k strength xp, so I may go ahead and do the quest for Ava's alerter. Thanks!

Well I've finally began my goal of 99 slayer; but most guides for slayer doesn't apply to me considering I'm a range tank. I did find a decent slayer guide with a short ranging section added to it here on TIF but I was hoping someone could give any further advise. I realize most people are melee slayers, but any thing you can add for ranging may be helpful. My Stats relating to Slayer: So I extreme range pot everything; I cannon any task that I can. My Slayer gear is: Full slayer helm Armadyl top Armadyl skirt Barrows gloves Snake skin boots (can afford rangers, just waiting for it to fall in price) Fury Wealth/Furocious ring Ava's accumulator Chaotic Xbow/Magic Short/ Dragon Darts (depends on task) DFS/Zammy book (depends on task) Broad bolts/Rune arrows (depends on task) Current Perm block list: Jungle Strykewyrm Desert Strykewyrm Terror Dogs Skeletal Wyvern Not enough Quest Points for 5th Canceled list: Living Rock Creatures WaterFiends (sometimes) I haven't unlocked Aquanties Haven't done quest for Warped Terrorbirds or Torts Haven't done quest for mutated Bloodvelds Dragon Darts on: Aberrant Spectres Bloodvelds Blue Dragon (cannon) Dust Devils (cannon) Fire Giant (cannon) Greater Demons Gargoyles Hellhound (cannon) Kalphite (cannon) Spiritual Mage Magic Shortbow on: Abyssal Demon Black Demon (cannon) Suqah (cannon) Chaotic Crossbow on: Black Dragon (cannon) Iron Dragon Mithril Dragon Steel Dragon So any information that you can add or I should change to my current method would be great. Some questions I already had: Should I switch to regular prayers and spend the extra money to rigour all my task? Is my current perm list okay? Should I cancel any other task? Ring of Wealth or Archer's Ring? Once again, any advise is much appreciated; Thanks.

Amazing! Good job :thumbsup:

Did Farm Livid create a way to efficiently train/grind Farming rather than waiting for trees to grow? Or is the xp rate too little to make it a better way to train it?
