Treasure Trails: Difficulty = Reward
I agree with this. I had 3 clues last night each had over 7 steps with each having 1+ puzzle (I can do them pretty quickly now : ), 3+ mages, 2+ emotes and 2 had 2+ wildy trips (30+). Best reward rune pickaxe..... each totaled less then 100k all level 3 all took 20+ minutes. Might just be bad luck, but its making me less inclined to do clues.

Mysterious Skeleton in Wilderness Volcano?
When I first looked at it I though gargoyle or Vyrewatch, but it lacks the arms. Does look to me like its the only npc we know of with the same bone structure. Nice find. EDIT did you just steal this from runewiki? http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dragonkin

New Laptop's Graphics Card
Yep it will run RS HD fine, although it won't be very good for any new games (CoD, TF2, etc).

Tips for TzHaar
Its nice if you find a few friends and go on ls world. Me and my little bro both did a few session of it and ended up with over 300k each within an hour or so (we got a cape and shield within 5 minutes of each other :ohnoes: ). Since I'm a a higher level then my bro I start the fight and take the hits while he and my golem help with the damage. The tips really add up after a while we both amazed about 100k in just the tips alone, they (149's) drop them about 1 in 3/4. Since your sfae spotting if you have void use it as the 10% really adds up over time. Take a few items of food and remember to bank the charms.

Aberrant Spectres Set-up
This is my setup. Nosepeg - ok I use slayer helm Salve (e) - I use fury here due to the slayer helm proselyte top proselyte bottoms - can replace these with monk robe bottoms God cloak - 3 + prayer bonus, 99 trimmed is better as is firecape RoW - always used it when slaying expect for hellhounds Whip+Rune def - tbh don't use any other shield its not worth the slower kills. dragon boots barrows gloves Depends on your levels take 4 to 6 prayer potions, 1 zammy brew (can replace with super attack, but the prayer restore helps), 1 dragon battle axe and 1 restore (can remove this if you use the spec as soon as you hit 10% above your attack level), 1 item of food and house teletabs or runes (if runes use dust and laws). Familiar wise I personally take a macaw. tbh there a lot of hassle without you can use the shortcut or have the slayer helm

GWD and Tormented Demons
Only if your 95+ attack and strength. At your, his and my levels whip will miss too much. Don't believe me try a solo with whip+def then with a GS, theres a noticeable difference. The whip+def is better at higher levels which is where you've heard it (most likely compfreak). The first thing you'll be asked if you say your taking will will be "att/str level?", under 90 on both will result in "no get a gs". Then you have to think about the specials all are helpful if used right (zgs must be used on the melee guy and not the boss). Your good enough for a nice team, but lend a GS first (if I'm in game I normally lend it for my max (48k) upto 3 hours or upto 10 hrs just before I log out for the night) and you'll have no hassle at all. TD's I've not done WGS to unlock them :oops:

Theres a nice guide on runehq with pics of where to stand. I personally went the west side along the wall then ran like crazy to the fence/wall.

Second fastest range exp?
Cannoning ice trolls is a nice method. I've personally get around the 50k exp per 45 minutes mark so thats about 65k per hour without using a rune c'bow or ranging familiar. You'll break even most of the time with a small profit some of the time. I've heard its possible when ranging with a ranged familiar its possible to get over 80k per hour with a basic setup. Chinning in the CT is more hassle then its worth IMO I tried a few attemps and I ended up losing a fair bit of money for less exp then I get cannoning.

GWD trips to bandos
There used to be some nice 110+ 8 man teams, but as the above poster said 120+'s will crash 110+ teams most of the time now. Zammy is more likely a better option if your not 115+ plus, otherwise your stuck with masses....

16th June 2009 Bounty Worlds and Gravestones
Like this update :thumbup: Solid PK'ing rewards = stable economy from PvP drops Longer grave = less of a hurry Looking over RSOF theres been a fair few random disconnections since the update leading to a fair few deaths.

Ranging advice.
Pretty much this. Cannoning ice troll si good exp and they drop a few charms. Cannoning black demons in travely (safespotting) is a nice source of crimsons. Ranging Waterfiends is possible and I've heard its possible to safespot them so you take 0 damage. Dust devils are ok, but there not the best charm droppers and you have to wear a face mask, muffed face mask or slayer helm. You can range black demons in the CT as theres a few safespots. You could chin nec's in the CT for some nice range exp and a decent amount of charms.

good training 85-100
Slayer or moss giants on the island just of brimhaven. Theres 2 spawns of 1 cake slice each healing 3 and are less populated+easier/cheaper to get to. Personally I always used that spot to finish off levels (ie when I was extremely close to 60 attack etc.) when I was sub lvl 100.

Saradomin Sword still a good stength training weapon?
How would the zerker combo beat the ss? Your missing the point of the combo. SS and fury is about 8m compared to the obby combo less then 500k. Any way SS is pretty much the best str wep although depending on the situation the obby combo, d scimmy or a GS will com close or be better.

Tech facts or myth?
Nice to see this topic getting lots of responses. Note these might not be 100% as I never claim(ed) to know all. [hide=The answers I used for them]Myth Truth Myth Truth Myth Myth Myth/Truth Myth/Truth 1. Its a lot easier and to do real damage you'd need a stronger magnet and would need to get extremely close to the parts 2. Strangely this is true as clothes generate static which can damage parts. Although as long as you touch the case every now and then as well as wearing shoes you'll be fine. 3. Common joke at non-techy people. I've seen a lot of people ask which site and so on. 4. I've gotten a lot of data from previously unusable hard drives using this. Its generally where the disk is damaged and it overheats. By cooling it, it increases the time it will function before it overheats. Doesn't work all the time, but its worth a shot. 5. Its a myth there are viruses out there, but there not common at all and apple tend to fix the exploit(s) which allow them to function. Like you've said due the the number of users if your going to make a virus its better to make one for 80% or so of the worlds computers as opposed to 10%. But there are viruses out there for Mac's. 6. This was at one time thought to be a good thing to do, but with XP and later versions removing the paging size actually worsens the performance. 7. In theory if there the same architecture yes. But in reality the 2 cores will never be able to do 2 separate tasks 100% of the time. Its like getting 2 people to do a job in a kitchen in 1 hour when 1 person can get it done in 2 hours. Some of the time the 2 people can both be doing separate jobs, but other times 1 person must wait for the other to finish something before they can continue. 8. Depends on the location of the spacer(s) they can both reduce and increase the temperature. I'd reduced my case temperature by 3, but blocking PCI slot. But others have reduced there temperature, by removing them. Although I would note it will increase the amount of dust in the case. Sorry A few of those where tricky or trick questions, but I least I got you all thinking.[/hide] Can't think of any interesting to strange ones at the moment.

Gaining EP while training Agility.
mmm I was looking at training agility and there seems to be mixed reviews of using the Wildy course in a PvP world. Some people says its safer or other you'll last 5 mins. How are you finding it? ps sorry for a semi hijack

summoning in GWD
As far as I'm aware zammy is the only one which is tricky to summon at/with as you have to kill the familiar before entering.

Tech facts or myth?
I like this topic. Heres a few ones for you guys; Magnetic screwdrivers shouldn't be used when building a computer. Building a PC naked is safer for the computer parts then wearing clothes. Its possible to download ram. Putting a harddrive in a freezer can help recover data. Mac's don't get viruses. Removing file paging increases the speed of your PC. A 1.8 dual core PC is the same as a 3.6 single core PC. Empty spacers on the back of a case improve case temperatures. Enjoy

Which armour set should I buy? And where to train combat?
BBS=Blessed Spirit Shield DFS=Dragonfire shield It might be worth getting bandos gear instead of the top or bottom depending on what your planning on training on.
-
Which armour set should I buy? And where to train combat?
Nietz helm Torag/Dharok's top Veracs skirt BSS or DFS Slayer is a nice training skill, but if you want pure exp AZ's or monkey zombies.

Can you tele away when you are tele blocked?
There is the forinthry bracelet which lets you tele regardless at the cost of a charge. Last time I tried ectophial doesn't work, neither does home tele or even wildy levers. You can use Jennica's ring though and simple wait in the spirit world free from threat.

Prossy vs Bandos at Armour Zombies
5 minutes isn't enough for a valid test, because of the luck factor. But I think it puts things in perspective. If you pot, the Void will perform better, but not enough to outshoot Proselyte/Bandos. Did you restore your prayer during the test? Because the advantage of Proselyte is that you restore prayer less and thus have more time for training. Yes, I did. 5 minutes is pretty much worthless data. Without pots is even worse. Salve and Void are based on your stats so the more boosted they are the more damage you can do. If you did about 10 sets of 5 minute data then it might be considered close to being accurate data, but just 5 minutes is about as bad as you can get. Do atleast 30 minutes each method with a few runs for better data. Void is far better then prossy the only reason I wouldn't use void would be for better afk training. In 5 minutes you have to pray 2 twice with void compared to once with prossy, although if you lengthen it to 6/7 minutes it changes to 3 compared to 2. The gap gets smaller the more minutes you go. Like I said after doing about 4/5 45 minutes trips with both, void gains atleast 10k exp more per hour then prossy for me.
