Why is lob and yew price falling but coal still holding ?
bear in mind that yews and lobs can all be gathered without much effort required. you can just sit there click on a tree/spot read forums and wait for the next spot. With mining, it takes a lot of concentrated effort, you have to be fighting against other people who are all wanting resources. This is why coal doesnt drop in price - the demand is much higher for it.

THE MAGIC TRAINING ARENA.
i dont have any videos, but it is pretty straightforward to figure out. Just arm yourself with a ton of runes and head over there. You'll figure out how to do each section within a minute or so of entering. Once you have a feel for each area, the guides will make a lot more sense.

Fishing Potions
basically I dont bother with fishing potions. As your fishing level will drop relatively quickly (compared to the time it takes to get a full inv) they are just not worth it. Getting to the fishing guild, or meeting quest requirements are the only useful uses for a fishing pot.

Cannon Question
yeah I'd go with dagannoths. Other popular cannon spots are lessers in karamja volcano (but you do end up hitting a lot of bats, and the spot is often crowded), kalphite soldiers (there's a room with a lot of them in, but drops aren't great), greater demons in brimhaven dungeon (decent drops, but end up killing dogs too).

a skill that doesn't get enough credit... your opinion on fm
well i finally clawed my way to level 80 this weekend and headed straight to the shade tombs. I made about 100k by the time I had alched everything from burning 30 magic pyre logs, got a few pieces of cloth too (no clue though). I really enjoyed going there and owning the higher level shades. It's just a shame it takes so long to cut the magics. fm is cool, but now that I am level 80 I'm not going to level it anymore. I want to put my money into getting 75 construction next....It also has helped me to get a nice skill total (1621) :)

Construction
the logical answer would be that it would simply be inaccessible, in the same way that your members items are unusable once you go to f2p. If you restarted members again, then it would be accessible in the normal way with everything still there.[/i]

warrior token advice
mith all the way. I can kill 2 mith guys faster than people my combat can kill a rune one. Therefore, I get 10 extra tokens in the same amount of time.

Best kill to get clues?
i guess that it depends what level clues you are after. low level clues can be dropped by al kharid warriors, ham members etc. for high level clues i like to kill hellhounds. They either drop clues or nothing, and i normally get one withing about 50ish kills.

Some Slayer Help
just to add that chaedler does not have crocs in her list of monsters. Every time I went to edge, I got crocs, elves and kalphites pretty much all the time. Lost city has some awesome tasks. Go there and just burthorpe the metal dragons. Just to note that you can sometimes get up to 10 metal dragon tasks in a row - it can take a bit of patience to get a really good task.

Bank Cleanout, No Idea what to give up...
heres what i think you should chuck: fishing bait, all quest items (excalibur and dark light you can keep for your house), random events items (like lederhose, frog etc), chefs hat (noone really needs to go into cooking guild), keep your best armour (or couple of sets) of mage, melee and ranged and ditch everything else, plant your tree in your garden in your house, plant seeds or drop them (are you really gonna plant all the hops and bushes?), keep all tree and herb seeds of course, drop cakes (you can steal em for free in ardy), get rid of all those capes, leave your farming stuff with leprechaun, take the pearl out of the oyster shell, do the clue scroll, drop toy horse, drop gnome cooking items, drop ham drop machete sell/drop steel boots do you need iron and steel nails? as you're using steel arrows now, do you need those bronze(?) arrowheads? You can always add them to your arrow shafts..., fishing pots are pretty useless as they dont last for very long, sell the rune weps that you dont need (long, baxe) Right, well i think that leaves you with about 5 items(!), so it should be much easier to sort out your bank. Get all your runes in the same place, herbs, seeds, armour etc. it makes such a difference.

Defence
yeah you need to have got quite a way in the creature of fenkenstrain quest to access the experiments.
-
Defence
apparenly experiments are good xp - high hp and low defence. They should get you there pretty quickly, but they give no drops though.

Plz help me train (lvl 70 p2p)plz add a sig bbcode example
well i guess that they all need work. The best way to train combat imo is by doing slayer tasks. They are varied and aften give you good drops. Range is good for slayer too with fire giants in the waterfall having good safespots. Magic is good to level up for so many reasons (high alch, teleports, bones to peaches etc). The mage training arena is pretty good for this as long as you can afford all the runes for it. Before you know if you'll be ready to take on some barrows brothers!!! (get 55 slayer for magic dart spell) ://sig.runeweb.net/sig/1/.png Put that in your sig section of your profile with img tags either side of the url and an http at the front. hopefully should get you a stat sig.

wage of servants?
You pay after a set number of trips. I think it is something like 20 or 30 trips and it is payday. I pay my butler every 8 trips. As I do my levelling with oaks, I use him to redeem 20 oak logs from the bank, and go to the saw mill 4 times each. This whole process costs 20k (for the sawmill trips) and 5k for paying him. Therefore, I am effectively paying 1.25 the amount I would normally pay for the logs. Working it out for 3000 logs (which is how many i do in a trip) 3000/20 (total number of trips required) = 150 trips 150*5000 (for sawmill) = 750000 gp total to convert all those logs. 7500000*1.25 (to pay butler) = 937500gp in total for 3k logs. compare this with using the demon butler (assumin payment for the same number of trips), the scaling is 1.5, so the same 3k oak logs will cost 7500000*1.5=1.125Mil (a difference of 187.5k to use the demon butler, but faster) hope this helps, RT

Lost City help!
it might be because you took too long to kill it. that's really harsh getting a random in the middle of a quest boss fight. you'll have to start again from scratch killing it, so you'll need to stick up on those arrows again. standing behind those mushrooms/fungi is quite ok by the way. you should not be too far away to kill it.

Accept Aid?
the idea of the accept aid button is for the spells such as teleport other and group teleport. By having this switched off, you cannot be distracted by a message box coming up asking if you really want to tele. People used to tele other someone at the barrows and distract them when fighing dharok. When he hits them for 50+ then the mage goes and picks up all thier nice stuff. I dont know if this button needs to be on for some of the other lunar healing spells, but I guess not.

Leaf-Bladed Spear questions.
I 'think' that it is a one-handed weapon. I find that the attack styles are pretty annoying as there are three 'controlled' styles and one defensive. So I always use it to train defence everytime I that I am unlucky enough to get kurasks and turoths.

gardening tips
actually, when levelling construction at around level 50, I had a few gardens, all with different things in. However, if you are planning on getting to level 70, to get a dungeon, you will find that you wont have any rooms spare. (the limit of 20 rooms is far too small). I ended up removing all my gardens except the one with a portal in. (wasted lots of money unnecessarily) Therefore, I say stuff the garden idea, as it doesnt really do much except look pretty. And to be honest, the normal garden isnt really the pretty anyway. Formal garden has some nice stuff, but it all comes at a price, so im not gonna bother. Good luck with the constructing!

Members getting better random events?
how lucky are you getting 2 mimes and 3 genies!!?? I have only ever had one mime since i started playing. I keep getting pinball, sandwich lady, and the one where you get camo. I havent really noticed any difference between p2p and f2p though, but I haven't been f2p for a while now.

metal drags drop bolts
should be in the bestiary section of updates and corrections. also, bronze dragons drop mith bolts(2).
-
advice plz
well you can do some slayer, barrows, pest control, castle wars. like you, I get bored a lot, and so i send a lot of time either doing slayer or minigames. If you like smithing try using the blast furnace for cheap coal usage. Construction is loads of fun btw - I really enjoyed being able to do all the stuff available in the house. I guess that it depends on your quest point how quickly to get to 30 cons with tears. With 221 qp I get 6-8k xp per trip, which is pretty nice.

dungeon construction
does the dungeon entrance have to come from a formal garden? Can you use the downwards stairs from a skill hall, say, to make the dungeon entrance? thanks in advance

Tears of Guthix MINI-game guide -info needed!
i have 221 qp, I'll post next time that I do the minigame. I did get tears on thieving once, but I cant remember what it was. It's something like "you feel your respect for other people's property diminish". dont quote me on that one though. Prayer="you suddenly feel closer to the gods"

dust devils
just to add that you would not get any slayer xp for killing them if they were not assigned as a task, but you would still be able to kill them/train on them and they would still have the same odds on dropping a dragon chain.
