Nex and summoning
If you only have 50m you shouldn't be doing rock lobs. Waterfiends in chaos tunnels are a similar rate, and they're practically free. (drops pay for prayer/exts) No *good* nex team will let people with torts and 50m in, you could probably find a large nooby team and get relatively slow kills, though.

Did you quit because of the Squeal of Fortune?
Nope. Doesn't effect me in any negative way. It's definitely a slippery slope towards the end of Runescape, but i won't quit until something actively ruins my experience with the game or it just stops being fun. I think the combat update will be met with more quitters than new subscribers and that will really get the ball rolling towards the end of Runescape, or at least most of Jagex's concentration and money on it.

Frost dragons
Deflector is much better than defender at frost dragons, just FYI. In terms of ranging... Use dragonbane bolts and remember this very important detail: Each frost dragon will range OR mage, never both. So you protect from range, and if they mage you, switch to magic. Then they can't hit you for the rest of the kill. Buuut, range sucks. And your level is low. It would slow down your kills by quite a lot and the xp isn't great, at least not good enough to make it a sensible way to train over red chinning. Stick to melee, stick with deflector, get soulsplit ASAP so you can heal any damage you take. Then do the obvious upgrades such as berserker (i), fury, steadfasts... etc.

Money Making @ H&A
The problem is they're very user specific. "Frost dragons are 3m/hour" hey im level 84 and wen i went i only made 700k in 1 hour and my bull ant died :'( "Kiln is 6m/hour" wdf my bull ant died agen this is bs how do i get laver cape bak? You'd have to go into great detail on each method to cover different levels and styles. And then all the prices would change and you'd have to do it again.

Slaying Grotworms
"Can a level 3 bot do this?" If yes, it's probably not worth your time, unless dependent on something else, such as merching with lots of cash.

Improving KPH at glacors
You can constantly stay in combat with the sapping while you run from the glacor, you're moving the exact same distance you need to make the enduring weak, too. If you use titan you can do the same but with the enduring. I don't understand why people are against luring. Definitely train dungeoneering, arcane is a huge boost, and melee frosts suck without rapier.

Elysian
Ummm... Nex. Arma. Corp. (If you solo, goliath first 1/3rd of kill) That's pretty much it, you really want a d defender or arcane or deflector for almost anything else.

Dagannoth Sentinels
Wait, do you know exactly how the charged helm functions? What is the "chance" per attack? I can't see any numbers anywhere i look and assumed it was a lot less significant than you're claiming. Normal freestyle is 2 at a time. You *can* be attacked by 6 sentinels at a time if you do the special challenge, if you think you can comfortably semi-afk 6 at a time. You can simply kill a few to get whatever is the optimal number for max scrolls + afk.
-
Dagannoth Sentinels
Void is 2% damage increase over bandos... I can't see the few extra scrolls being worth it... But it does help a lot in terms of choosing bandos for easier afk, knowing the difference is less than 2% thanks to scrolls.
-
Dagannoth Sentinels
It totally slipped past me earlier, but now I'm actually there (afking as i type :P) ...You can't use DFS! You're using void deflector! I guess if you wanted to use ss a lot less you would use bandos/torva instead of void, but for pure xp you should be voiding. I totally overestimated their defense, DFS probably would be better DPS after a few specs, and again, more convenient for afking. Dharoking is surely the best xp if you're not gonna be afk, though Edit: Almost ko'd it with a 600 rapier + titan spec, lol... I think that's become my new minigame as i train, try kill it as it's healed :P
-
Dagannoth Sentinels
Figured its just as good to use goliath gloves for a couple specs and I dont own a fire/rhino cape. I also dont have an iron titan. I guess ill just stick to vyres when I feel like power leveling. Better exp at this point and slight profit. Like players, NPCs defense levels regenerate over time. So if you were to use goliaths, you would have to spec a few times every few minutes... Or just BGS every 5 minutes. At least that's how i think it works, best place to test that theory would be sentinels :P
-
Dagannoth Sentinels
I've never really done it for an extended period of time, but is it really worth using DFS? For the 1 str to beat +25 stab you have to be close to 99% accuracy or above...
-
Dagannoth Sentinels
Why didn't you use BGS and rhino cape(or fire)? With 100% accuracy and your gear you'd expect 174k/hour xp w/o titan With 100% accuracy and max gear you'd expect 185k/hour xp w/o titan Titan should add 50k/hour at the very least, so i don't think 240k/hour is very unrealistic. I'm gonna try it today for half an hour with titan and report my xp.

Fast way to get rid of 3000 untradeable/unoteable item
Glacors are probably a better way to suicide as theres less walking involved. (Tele fight caves using tok ring, withdraw 28 items, use fairy ring near bank, die, repeat) Dropping with mousekeys is faster than both glacors or corp though. Wilderness with a friend is probably fastest but you gotta have a willing friend. I'd personally just treat it as a lost bank space...

Uses for dominion tower items
The main real use for goliaths and especially swifts, is PVP. I personally get about 15 gloves/hour, which puts goliaths at 1.5m/hour value in place of barrows, plus the extra stats really mean a lot in pvp, especially for high risks. Swifts allow you occasionally fire 2 bolts at once, giving you the potential to hit over 990 with every attack. (The 2nd bolt won't be an enchanted bolt) Seeing as you are not max combat, goliaths are definitely worth your time for things like slayer as the combat experience from unlocking them in climber is very good. So instead of wasting ~4 minutes to get a ~2% damage increase for ~6 hours, you're spending ~4 minutes to get ~8k xp and a ~2% damage increase for ~6 hours. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!

Pernix body or Elysian?
Void is higher KPH and generally better, but bandos makes the need to SS flick much less frequent. (You could probably not flick at all with vampirism) I tend to zone out doing frosts so it's nice not to worry about health the whole time. I'd get full virt and do glacors + kiln for 99 summ and cash.
-
where is the Ge contact spell?
I can't even remember how i coped before the GE. It came at bad times with the free trade thing being destroyed so people looked at it bitterly, but looking now i can comfortably say that it is by far the best update to happen in this game since RS2.

New Fastest Summoning Running
Shameless self plug incoming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7G6b7oUBMQ This uses the tokkul ring but instead of clicking to teleport you just keep your finger on the 2 key, to make it instant and reduce mouse movement. It speeds the process up a tiny bit and takes a lot less concentration.

Weapon for waterfiends
What you posted was bad advice. I told him what the best weapons were in order. It's common sense that he should aim for one of the better ones if they're affordable. "Dragon longsword is better than rune mace, Dragon scimitar is better than Dragon longsword" quite clearly says that the scimitar is the best of the three, while giving another option in case he can't use that. Edit: Oh, and it does. Perhaps you should look your facts up.

How to do the max melee hit?
I'm thinking it's Dharok's with salve, or Keris... I want to know where you can achieve the max hit, ignoring gimmicks in quests. Also wanna know how to repeatably get 1hp with dharoks the easiest way, hot rockcake only lets you get to 30 after the dumb update...
-
Weapon for waterfiends
You should justify your claims, rather than posting without any proof. Nope. See something wrong, you can be helpful and disprove it, or at least bring it up specifically so i can explain my reasoning, instead of being vague and difficult. I'm just giving a general guideline on the best choices, a lot of them come close and have different attack speeds making it hard to be precise so it might be possible they're slightly out of order, i don't think that they are, though.

Reducing Overkill while Chinning
Mk. I hope that it is somewhat clearer now. I just really don't feel the need to make 3 new topics because it clutters the H&A board. You should just make a new post with the new question, anyone interested in helping will look at your latest response before posting anything anyway, to avoid repeating others or giving pointless information. In regards to your question... Not really, no. On one hand they will be killing some of your apes... But you'll also be killing theirs. It balances out, really.

Weapon for waterfiends
Bandos godsword is the best option until you can afford SS/ZS Barrelchest Anchor is better than torag's hammer (Which are slightly better than veracs, just FYI) Goliaths > Maul > Rapier > Full dharok's > SS > ZS > BGS > Anchor > Torag's > Verac's Dharok's has potential to beat goliaths but because of overkill and the difficulty of using it effectively I've put it where it is...

Maxed with 10 hp (2407 total)
Fly fishing isn't bad as f2p. Firemaking is identical if you're cheap/afk and bonfire maples in members anyway. Low level mining (iron powerbanking) is almost identical. As said above, smithing is almost identical. Isn't it all? It's a game, after all. Nice defense level, btw.

How to best utilize my Mad Necklace
There was nothing in game about it. I'd guess you get at least all of june, probably much longer/infinite.
