If you're patient you could accumulate herbs/seeds from slayer and manage thy kingdom and use those to get you herblore levels. I've gotten all my herblore levelas that way.
Though using kingdom for anything other than the top gp value resource is horribly inefficient.
Ie If 1 week of herbs at kingdom is currently worth 100k, but raw fish is worth 150k then, even if you want herbs for training, fish is the better choice.
Why you might ask, well using the above to train herblore there is 3 outcomes:
1) Using 100k worth of random herbs as they come to get herblore xp
2) Selling 100k of random herbs to buy 100k of suitable herbs to get slightly better herb xp.
3) Selling 150k of fish to buy 150k of suitable herbs to get significantly more xp.
I've never thought of it that way. Thanks.

Drygores, sub robes and virtus wand + book are top priority right now. Also working towards blood fury and quest items.

Sweet! Sounds good, thanks :)

So I'm looking for alternate money makers besides frosts since I get so darned bored there. I was thinking about soloing GWD bosses. However, I've never done so, and I have some questions about more recent updates.
First of all, I see they've added a grouping system. Does this mean that you can skip KS and head straight to a boss? Can you set up a "group" but just head in alone?
Are the bosses worth killing? I hear people train magic there, so I imagine it can't be half bad.
Also, my gear right now is sort of lacking. I have Bandos melee gear with a neitz helm, ahrims and a staff of light for mage and karils with dual rune c'bows for range. I know these are far from optimal. Currently working on getting better gear (thus the point of this topic).
-
That's what I've been thinking too... do I keep items obtained on boat trips in my bank, or are they stored somewhere in the port? I was a bit concerned about my bank space right now. Don't want to be storing items I won't be using for a long time.
-
With my current levels, would it be worth investing my time in PoP, or should I wait to meet more of the skill requirements?

Got this along with 88 DG last night.

I personally prefer brought weapons over the ones that are "free" (I dont see them as free cuz).
For example you buy a virtus wand and book. lets say that's 18m and the free alternatives are chaotic staff and the attunned crystal staff.
for the virtus weapon set after you're done with them, you can sell them back, but what of the chaotic and crystal staff?
For the chaotic staff you use 200k tokens. Once you're done with it, you might decide to destroy it, and in the process you lose approximately half of its value. With an attunned crystal staff, you cant even forcibly refund its value.
And you might move up the tiers pretty fast too, after all repairs on the staff of darkness are even cheaper than that of the level 80 weapons.
Good point, but item prices are pretty volatile. I've "lost" a lot of money just in leaving for a year due to all of my equipment dropping drastically (veracs, whip, etc). That doesn't really bother me however. Right now I'm 10k tokens off my offhand rapier and after that I'm slaying/farming my way to drygores/virtus/etc. Got to start somewhere right.
-
I do not have the amulets yet. I was looking at that today. Which amulets are worth getting? I also don't have bone crusher yet :blink: .
-
Yeah, I was checking prices today and things aren't too expensive. It's just that I currently have about 2m cash with another 10m in items that I will be selling (farmed herbs, mtk stuff). Don't have too much to play with.
So would claws be better than dual wielding rapiers? All I care about is getting some more DPS for slayer right now.
-
I haven't done sinkholes at all yet. That's something I'm going to have to look into. Thanks!
-
I wouldn't quite say they are obselete, but between drygores being a relatively cheap tier 90 that tears through most things and so many other Ranged options, plus the tanking price of virtus wand and book, their uses are getting more and more niche. If someone has the time to dg for all those hours, they can probably make the money for the non-chaotic stuff with the same amount of time investment. You might want to reconsider combat for money though.
If I'm not mistaken, Chaotic Spear is still the best in the game to go Corp with - that's one instance where they still rule the roost, for now anyway.
Well i figure I'll be getting 120DG anyways, so I may as well grind out the Chaotic items now. Same for Slayer. If I'm killing something that isn't giving me Slayer XP as well, I feel like I'm kind of wasting time. Besides, farming and slayer is pretty good money overall.
-
So Chaotics are kind of obsolete now I imagine? I was going to get them because funds are kind of limited, and I don't do combat outside of slayer. Although, I do kind of want to get into PvM once I get overloads.
Been a while since I've played. Kind of lost in all these weapons and armour choices :mellow: .
-
My first buy was a rapier, and I've almost obtained enough tokens for my offhand rapier. What should I go for next? I do mostly slayer.

I've been kicked offline a few times before back when they logged you out after 8 consecutive hours. Back when I was unemployed and my computer was next to the kitchen :lol:.
-
Mine was Cooking many years ago (back when people cooked in thieves den). This was in 2010 I think?
Just wanted the stats from the cape honestly haha.
-
That's MTK right? 79% approval is not too shabby considering you went missing on them for a year though, eh? :lol:
It was at 52% when I logged on haha

In terms of cheap gear I'm not sure what your budget is, but Bandos/Armadyl/Subjugation is generally adequate for general purpose Slayer. Range and Mage can be swapped out for Royal and Grifolic, respectively. If I may make a suggestion in terms of raising some cashing, heading to Frost Dragons with a set of Guthan's and magic notepaper should allow you to farm a decent amount of money quite efficiently with your stats. If you choose to go with degradeables and continue with Slayer for now, bear in mind Grifolic degrades, but it is decent armor and has a relatively cheap cost to get you going.
Regarding ability bars, I wouldn't be able to recommend much beyond using Wiki's setups for revolution and adding appropriate thresholds. For example, you might use Assault, Destroy, Flurry, Slaughter for duel wielding your chaotic rapiers. Something like this (and no, don't imitate my keybinds :P). It's kind of faint since I'm on a skiller. PM me in-game and I can share it with you if you want that ability bar directly (this is a feature that was added at some point), and then you can change/modify it as you want.
For Farming, invest in some Juju potions since they're now tradeable. Drink it straight before you pick your herbs to boost yields (on average, 33%). If you have Loyalty Points to burn, there is another tier of the Greenfingers Aura - Legendary - available for an extra 119K that may be worthwhile. Also if you don't have magic secutaurs, make sure to grab those. In fact, you can toolbelt them now for convenience :).
Thanks for the post! Someone told me today while farming that I could toolbelt my secateurs, so that's done haha. I didn't know about the Jujus either, so I'll look into that for sure. Again, thanks a lot! Very informative post.

Worst part about being absent for a year....
-
I don't remember how long it's been since I've last played exactly, but I'm sure it's around a year. Lots of things have changed since, and I don't want to know about everything, but I kind of want to optimize my current gear and ability bars. Can someone help me out by posting model ability bars for all three combat stances for general slayer usage?
Also, what "cheap" gear should I be trying to get? Currently using Veracs with Chaotic weapons for slayer. Don't have much to spend, so I was thinking maybe Bandos since it's so cheap now?
I'm also shooting for 99 farming. I only do herb+snape grass+limpwurt runs right now. What gear should I be using to maximize speed and crop yields? Currently have Supreme Greenfingers and Fally Shield 2.

Have you read their system requirements? I was able to play at ~18 fps about 1.5 years ago. Unless they're going to update those requirements, this computer is still supposed to work, which would mean Jagex is making RuneScape's applet more bloated. Especially since I've got an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4650 in an AGP slot in this ancient system. Yeah, really, that much GPU, and I'm still fully able to use it somehow. :oI really don't get it, it's Jagex fault that they're no longer compensating for a computer more than a decade old?
~D. V. "Maybe it helps that I've got 2 GB of RAM, too?" Devnull
I know I'm kind of late with this reply, but this caught my attention. You're actually not using that GPU to it's full potential due to something called bottlenecking. I won't explain what that means, since google will do a better job of that, but putting a strong GPU with a bad CPU is never a good idea. Start saving up for a new rig man :P.

Driving to a fair about a month ago. I would like this to replace My first indexed picture.
Picture taken with my mom on my birthday. Yes, I'm coloring Dora. Deal with it ;). Replace my second indexed image with this, please.
Experiencing Frequent LapTop Power Cuts [UNSOLVED]

As you guys are saying, it's possible that it's a battery problem. However, I think it would be a good idea to run a few tests first.
You can download this program called Memtest (http://www.memtest86.com). Follow the instructions on the website to test your ram for problems
Then I'd suggest downloading both Realtemp (temperature monitoring program) and Intel Burn Test. Open Realtemp and then do a burn test using all your cores at 100%. Make it go through multiple cycles. This will make your CPU work at max capacity and you'll be able to see of your CPU is getting too hot. I'd be worried about anything over 60C.
Also, to check for viruses I'd suggest getting Malwarebytes. The free version is great and will find viruses that many other paid programs won't find. Use it with your current program for double checking.
Hope this helps!
