I can't offer opinions on all of your questions but I'll throw my two cents in. With regards to Q4, I got 99 thieving about 5 years ago by doing pyramid plunder, and I thought it was pretty fast xp and not too tedious. I have heard recently that the monkey thieving is really good xp/hour, haven't personally tried it though. It depends on what you prefer, you might want to swap between them so it doesn't get boring. You don't want to burn yourself out and end up hating the skill. :lol: Q5 - personally, I would say this is far too much hassle, given that there's a high chance that you'll fail the obstacles on the advanced course. I would rather go for the reliable ape atoll course until I could do the advanced course without pots. Q6 - I imagine that frost dragons are a pretty good way to make money even if you don't have yak/extremes, even more so if you gather your own resources rather than buying them. Your kills will be a little slower, but the profit is still there to be made. Even though you've asked everyone's advice here, in the end it's your play style that counts and what works for one person may not be fun for you. :^_^:
