Chinning
With your stats, ideally you'll want to level dg. You could just kill green dragons, but if you can get 65 dg, which isn't even that much xp, you can cannon blue dragons in the Taverly resource dungeon, which will firstly get you a decent amount of ranged xp, and secondly make well over 1m/hr profit. Ideally you'd get 85 and do frosts, which are about 2m/hr without a yak, which would be beneficial all round as you'd get your rapier on the way.

Fight Caves.
Even when meleeing Jad, there's no need to worry about his melee attack. Just treat him like a 360 with a prayer switch. (Although to answer the OP, soa is both fastest and easiest.)

So, I've never played a video game before...
I would suggest you complete the Lumbridge/Draynor Tasks, then do any quest that take your fancy. Cook's Assistant being the quintessential one to start with :P

Attempted hacking twice in 10 minutes
Sounds like you're keylogged. It'll take some time for the j mods to lock the account after posting on the thread.

TokKul-Zo or Zerker on task?
That's what I mean by a comparison of maxes :rolleyes:

TokKul-Zo or Zerker on task?
I can copy paste a comparison of maxes next time I have a Jad task. I went from getting orange splats at 610-620 to hitting a 670 something.
-
Chaotic Longsword or Rapier at Frosts?
Rapier, they are weak to stab.
-
TokKul-Zo or Zerker on task?
The ring definitely does stack with a slayer helm, I've seen the effects myself in a near exact 10% increase to max hit.

Effigy nerf
Firstly, why wait for 2 years? As Number1 boss recently pointed out in one of his videos, it is now physically impossible to max an account faster than he is doing on Numbar1 boss, as he collected so many effigies from ganodermics and 99 slayer prior to the nerf. In essence this makes the game more difficult for people who chose to do something at a different time. All xp records have been utterly meaningless for months if not years. Preventing people from stockpiling effigies now is pointless.

200M in all Skills
Less bothered about the nerf in drop rate, but why can't you bank more than 5? Xp records in individual skills have bee utterly meaningless since the introduction of effigies, so I fail to see why they have implemented this update now.

Has flipping changed somewhat
Nex gear used to be amazing money, as it sold 5m+ over ge most all the time so you could make lots from cs snipes. Recently there were huge coinshare barriers so it was a dead method, but the Tzhaar update/manipulators have increased the price above ge again, so if you have 2-300m+ look into that. Edit: Looking at your stats, I'd recommend you get 65 dg then cannon blue dragons in the taverly resource dungeon, I got around 1.25m/hr profit doing that with similar stats to you. In terms of cheap flippables, 10 zerker rings is an extremely fast and easy flip I do a couple of times a day, 20k margin a ring for 4-600k a day. Takes a couple minutes at most to put in the buy/sells. And I agree with leik on furies being absolutely terrible now.

Yes a J Mod said they were going to use the mummy method on their personal account.

Training Crafting
If you're in a hurry, use a crafting pot. Otherwise, air battlestaffs are more xp/hr and less xp/gp than green d hide bodies, maybe blue too.
-
200M in all Skills
Well effigies are a massive part of 200m all skills. Also this is quite clearly not a bug, the mummies were high combat level before with 10hp. Now they're a slightly higher combat level with 10hp. Where's the bug???

Hood vs. Plate
I'm hardly an experienced dg'er, but I'm just going by what I've seen. I always buy my highest floor from #keyers irc channel, and they usually have gloves, boots, 2h and hex bound. Some of these people having dg'd for months past 200m xp, e.g Bu11seye. Personally I'd bind a plate, as at my xp rates saving 30 seconds-1minute isn't worth 2+ extra deaths. I don't know, you're probably right, I was just saying what I've seen.
-
Hood vs. Plate
No, gloves/boots are not as useful as a plate when pathing. If your only concern is floor times, and you're good enough, you will use gloves or boots over a plate. Survivability is a non issue to most of the good dungeoneers I've seen, and the +10str bonus is therefore far more useful. For the normal dungeoneer, yes I'd agree bind a plate. But the guy said he was concerned with floor times over xp.
-
Hood vs. Plate
Keep the hood. And at the above poster, if you were more concerned about floor times you'd bind gloves/boots over the plate.

spot stealing!
Depends. Spawn rates aren't good enough on many slayer tasks to support two people: Kalphites, Bloodvelds and Steel Dragons being immediate examples. So in that case I'll just hop if someone is already in the world. If someone else comes to my world and won't hop, then I'll stay/hop depending on task. Mutated Bloodvelds being an example where someone who isn't really set up for slayer can increase your kph remarkably.

Are my combat stats good enough for Tz Tok Jad?
I got my first fire cape with worse stats than that (ranging). But I have to say, get 80 in your melee stats and a rapier. Then it'll be a cakewalk.

7-Feb-2012 - Potion Flasks
Not sure how to get more than 50 a day, but there was a Jmod post saying that 50+ was possible somehow.

I vote Pinata to take over the regular weekly updates, assuming you can/want to.

mahogany tables
I'm also going to be doing mahogany tables after finishing herblore, and did a little practice the other day. I just used 2 to move to the build/remove option, and 5 to click. The fetch from bank option on your servant is in the same position as build/remove too, so that helps. Although I'm not exactly sure about the xp/hr, I hear figures ranging from 600-800k/hr. I have seen videos where people have red boxes on their screen to show where they need to move their mouse to for the build and remove options. I don't know how to set that up, but its something you could look into.

Behind the Scenes - February
Seriously looking like an awesome month in general. 6 dose potions? Win. New, more challenging fight caves? Win. Interesting looking new quest? Win. Although I agree with Quyneux on increasing the strength bonus on the completionist cape, at least to match the new fire cape.

Is this against rules?
Trust trades aren't against the rules. That's why they took months to remove dice bags, even though tens to hundreds of billions were being trust traded daily.

Apparently it was confirmed on hlf that it increases your chance by the full 3/5 or whatever percentage points. Which is very significant.
