Underrated Items
I just had my first encounter with Waterfiends (as a Slayer task) and used these. They do third best crush damage in the game (leaving out the hour-degrade and Stealing Creation items) and they're faster than mauls, warhammers or battleaxes. And they're under 100k. The only problem is its got a requirement of 70, thus it has to compete with whip, and the rest of the barrows equipment. Whip is faster, has a higher str bonus, and is 1 handed. Torag's hammers are about at par stat wise with d scim + rune def (d scim+ rune def has +1 attack, -1 str, plus some defense), but its slower. They also gave Torag a terrible set spec, which is useless in non pvp situations. Something else that's surprisingly underrated is whip at waterfiends. A lot of people confuse "weak against crush" with "practically immune to slash". Whip + def is actually pretty effective against waterfiends. Not as good as sara sword, godsword or zammy spear, but its a lot better then t hams, d mace, d spear and a lot of other things i've seen people use there.

88 Summoning.
Don't forget about other charms too. Golds cut the cost down, and aren't slow to use (I can still get almost 200k xp/hr cashing in golds), and blues are cheaper then crims, faster then crims, but unfortunately very rare. Your main focus should be crims, the bulk of your xp will be from that, but you should be picking up every charm. Geyser titan is when combat familiars start getting amazing. Plus, I personally think pack yak is better overall then unicorn.

Here we go again. SwiftKit illegal to use
Ouch lol, bad day? Of course we can talk about illegal and not illegal. We're talking about a game, so you need to see it in a games context. Illegal = you will get banned. Legal = you won't. :-)

Illogical Things of Runescape
You have very deep pockets. Notice how your character grabs for his hip before eating, bow stringing ect...

Diaries to come?
The last one could be a runescape diary, where you have to do tasks for people everywhere. And the hard achievements could be to get all the other diaries done.

[quote=Mod Crow Jagex Mod-Page 8]It doesn't really matter if it 'cheats' or not. Third party software is still against the rules and they still present a significant security risk. - Mod Crow - If no third party software is allowed, does that mean no firefox?

Illogical Things of Runescape
Duh, its made of spandex. umm, actually isnt that how it really is? Or am I mistaken? #-o Assyrians( =D> ) with iron > Nub Egyptians with bronze As far as strength goes, I'm pretty sure iron beats bronze. Iron also is harder to work. What weighs more, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers. The bricks obviously, because no matter how many feathers you have, they always weigh the same.=p

Illogical Things of Runescape
My backpack is strange, the following three facts are true about it: - 1 coin takes up as much room as 1 million coins. - 1 coin takes up as much space as a hammer. - 2 hammers take up twice as much space as 1 million coins.

Underrated Items
I would say gold charms are underrated. A lot of high level people don't even pick them up because they're low xp. However, they take very little time to grab, and add up quickly. They're cheaper gp/xp then crims, and with the kyatt method of pouch making, you can easily make 2k pouches/hr, so you're still getting well over 160k xp/hr at higher levels. So, using golds is well worth it, even at higher levels. Now, I'm not suggesting gathering golds as a form of training higher level sum, as gathering crims is way more efficient, but you should pick up the golds you would get, seeing as most high crim droppers tend to drop a high percentage of gold charms too.

Anyone can be a Rune Miner in 7 Days :)
There is no way you did that. Its an obvious photoshop, hacking rune tracker and already having 84 mining scheme. srsly though, you're insane. 7/10, you'll get a higher rate when its 85 mining, and when you don't have lv 1 farming =p

Explorer Ring 3 ACTUALLY Gives Extra Xp
I calced it once, its statistically greatly to your advantage when p2p fire rune crafting via dueling rings, you're better off leaving the dueling ring in your inv and wearing the explorer's ring. Factoring in the loss of 1 ess/trip, you still get somewhere around 1.5-2k xp/hr faster, plus a handful of free fire runes. which can really add up for some I'm fairly certain this works with zmi as well, which gives you slight more profit if you bank all your runes (bearly noticable), and something close to +2%-+3% xp bonus.

D mace is alot better than dds for pking yes?
Can't forget about stat hammer and vesta's long. I havn't seen many stat hamer specs, but vesta's long can realistically chop someone to bits with 2 specs. I've also seen some people do ok with a sara sword, though i would still prefer whip + dds to it.

May 20th: New Slayer Monster Information.
Since when does the flu count as wings? Its a play on words. flu = flew. Think of it like wgs, or rfd. Both of them have high requirements and great rewards. I bet if neither wgs or rfd existed, a lot of people wouldn't do many of the quests to get the fairly high quest point requirement. They need higher level activities to give people goals. Right now, you can kill every slayer monster at lv 85 with pie, or 90 w/o pie, thats less then half the xp needed for 99. Other then the cape, there is no drive to 99 slay.

99 cook comes with 2000 total
2k total is a really nice milestone. And even though its not the most respected 99, 99 cook deserves a little respect too, and adds a slight amount of awesomeness to the achievement. 8/10

The Fastest XP Possible?
Not sure if this works, but i think the fastest farm xp would be planting torstol and digging it up. If it works, I think it could rival even boxed hedges, since you could stand there with 2.1b seeds, a dibber, a spade and a rake and never need to move. You would have to bank every ~210 drags lol. I think it might be fastest to have your house in rimington, and selling 50k noted gs's to the general store every time you ran out of cash, thats is a simple way around the cash limit.

19th May 2009 - Missing my Mummy
Yay, 100%'d it. Using runetracker, I'm pretty sure the reward is: [hide=]7k hp xp(from quest) 6.5k prayer xp 5k mage xp 2.1k cooking xp 3,350 craft xp 2.1k con xp and, you do get the thieving xp from giving the juice as if you played the minigame.[/hide] And, since PP scarabs count as scarabrites, I'm pretty sure they do count.

How did you get the second name piece? I have looked all over the top floor of the temple as she instructed but have found nothing. [hide=]Ring of charos(e) talk to ali morisan about it again.[/hide] How do you get the shadows, i'm probably missing something obvious.

The Fastest XP Possible?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the fastest melee xp be vesta's spear? If you got 1999 people in your house, all of which where 99/1def pures, all stood on top of each other in your combat ring, while casting energy transfer on you. If there was on average 1500 of them dd's on one spot (due to you killing them, and them having to keep comming back in) and you did an average of 5 to each of them, every attack, and did 10 attacks/minute. 1500 people *5 avg damage = 7500 damage/attack average. 7500 damage *4xp/damage = 30k xp/attack average 30k xp * 10 times/min * 60mins/hr = 18m xp/hr average. Not sure if the spec is limited to 9 people or not though. I also used 5 damage avg to be very low, its probably much higher then that wearing full stat armour, d boots, fury ect. You should be at your own house, but your friend could be there lighting the burners.

Abbysal minion gives invisible attack bonus?
5k dragons each seems a little excessive. I would say accurately recording a few thousand attacks, especially on something with as high defense as a mithril dragon, would be enough to prove this. I would almost go as far as saying that 1k attacks for each could be enough to convince me one way or another, if there was a significant difference. But I think your point is more that you can't kill 10 dragons and say "wow, I killed those better then normal, thus my pet is obviously the reason" Odds are, the pet is just giving you the lucky charm effect.

What to do with this account?
He wants to keep his other stats 1. This would get him over a million xp in both agi and str, plus you need to meet a agi, str and I think fm prerequisite to do barb fishing.

training wc with adze
From what I've been told, training wcing from ~85-99 with adze should pretty much get you 92-99 fming. Not sure how exact this is, but from what I've looked into about it, starting around 85 wcing and 92 fming, you should get 99 in each within just a few 100k xp of each other. (On the grand scale of getting a 99, a few 100k xp in either skill is next to nothing)

Profitable magic?
Maging metal drags is profitable with fire wave or slayer dart. Don't bother using lesser spells then that. Though, I gained probably a good 1/4 of my mage xp at dks. The drops have gone down quite a bit since then, but you could probably still turn a profit. Superheating addy bars was profitable last time I checked, not the fastest xp in the world, but you also get smithing xp, which is an expensive skill to train.

Does the world know you're playing Runescape?
Do you or don't you tell people openly about playing Rs? Umm, why wouln't I tell anyone? When talking to another RS player in real life, do you keep quiet? I have nothing to hide. Would you even admit to one that you are playing Runescape? Umm, ya. Would you play in public places? If its appropriate yes. I find this question a little weird, I mean its a videogame. Its not a "hard" or "bad" thing to admit. Lots of people I talk to act like the question is at par with "Would you tell your friends/parents if you're a crystal meth addict" then "does anyone know you play a videogame?". Runescape is just one of many games I play. My friends made me try WoW, I didn't like it, I made my friends play runescape for a bit, some liked it, some didn't. The only reason I wouldn't admit to playing rs is under the following conditions: Mom: "Are you doing homework?" me:"Uhhh... ya..."

Is melee a buyable skill?
I dislike the term "buyable". It implies you go to the ge at lv 1, fork over cash and get instant lv 99. Saying a buyable skill is one that you can spend money on to make it faster is silly. There exists no skill where that isn't true. Have fun hunting without traps and fishing without bait, every skill needs some amount of cash spent on it at some point for it to be efficient. Not to mention buying a super energy makes getting places faster, as well as buying teleports. You're getting a little excessive when you say melee is a buyable skill because you can buy gear, and thieving is buyable cause you can buy food. The term is meant more for con, where you spend ~30hours on a skill skilling it, and a bunch of cash buying materials.
