The return of staking??
It's a gambling fallacy that this style of betting (called the "Martingale" system) is actually profitable. Basically, if you have 1.5m to play with, you will get to play 4 games until you lose all of your money. So that gives you a 15/16 chance of making 100k and a 1/16 chance (LLLL, all at 1/2) of losing 1.5m. So, on average, you will win 15 times (1.5m total) and lose once (-1.5m). Interesting. Though, say you've got 10 billion gp. If you restrict yourself from using only 100m, this could work. In the rare case that you happen to lose the 100m, just keep doubling it, and after a few more games, you should have gained it back.

Looks like [cabbage] IMO. Hitsplats aren't everything. Also, what's with the haters? There're no haters.

Heard yellows crashed again. Was expected though.

how long will 48 effigies take to investigate etc?
Well since you've got to pot etc, I would guess 30-60 min.

Is it possible to upgrade 'task' armor but not get the lamps immediately?
Tell me if you know it. I've been postponing varrock diary for this exact reason (2 more rc diaries). Dont wanna know how many extra b staves I already missed out on.

Grats. Thinking about doing some levels there too. Gonna do one level at a time probably though :-) Did you use mousekeys? Started using those on con and I kinda liked it. should make them more bearable.

Would you betray your best friend for a Phat?
Since you said best friends: No. I'm never going to give my phat to anybody though, even "best friends". To be honest, I don't have many friends on RS anyway. There's maybe 3 people that I'va had added for a loong time and still talk to regularly, and I *would* theoretically trust them, but I'm not gonna try :-). Other people on friendlist: The situation would never apply. I'm not gonna bother setting up a scam. I've got a partyhat, I'm fine. Oh, i've got 2-3 IRL friends that I would trust too.

Lost profit from farming Torstols?
Hah, every year that average herb yield per patch climbs. Last time I tried to give this community a reality check I was bombarded with its 6 herbs not 5! 5 of course being my personal experience time and time again. But, hey glad to see the number is climbing, too bad Jagex actually didn't change the code. What do you call it when somebody claims something is awesome then a few lines later say "its more unfavorable than ever"? I call it a disclaimer for that somebodies opinion. Learn to read the full sentence, idiot. It has been better but it still is very good/profitable. (pretty sure you aren't that stupid to not understand and that you're just trying to annoy me, but oh well, I'll just fall for it). I personally stopped farming torstols (or anything else) cause I'm already 99 farming and cba doing it when it's not super duper uber good, but IF you decide to farm herbs, they're still easily the best, and they still make you 2-3m+ an hour (being conservative here). It's just that it used to be 5m+ (500k pofit per run which takes 5 min).

or half an hour of afkable broad arrow fletching.

Fastest fishing exp?
You can do rocktails with admiral pies (bring a yak to carry). Isn't too bad, and it's really afkable. Should be 40k per hour tops at your lvl.

3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion
Seems that the confidence is recovering then. When all phats where crashing (2 days ago), people were guessing purple at 300-250 m and ely at 200-300m. I think you could've scored some deals these days, liquidating eggs and whatnot. (unless eggs suddenly gain trust too, but I don't see that happening)

200M in all Skills
IN game playing time. Hours per day. We're not talking about when the account was created. We mean he is playing a lot of hours per day, which puts him at advantage. Also, his previous heavy gaming resulted in 200m in hard skills, so he's already done with those. Don't really understand how you fail to understand this.

Hati Gloves
I'm pretty sure it's pronounced H A (as in are) T I (short i as in it). Now just give the A a more scandinavian touch, and you should be fine. (basing myself on my experiences in Norway, I'm from belgium).

Lost profit from farming Torstols?
It is true though that farming torstol is more unfavourable than ever. Seed prices are still semi high, while herbs have dropped quite a bit. You still make good profit, but it's been better.

Fishing, Mining, and Killing In the Living Rock Caverns for Great Xp and Cash (NEW DHAROKING METHOD)
You must hate chinning A LOT when you prefer 3h of living rocks over 1h of chinning.
-
Waterfiends profit with this set up?
Yes, get elite void for prayer bonus and the void effect of course. Ive done many waterfiend task and I can confirm you WILL always profit if you have a decent lvl and gear. You get 200-500k loot an hour, which is more than enough to cover for everything.

Lost profit from farming Torstols?
Facepalm. How can you be maxe and be so uneducated? Stuff dieing can easily be incorporated, and it already is. I've been farming torstols for quite some time, and I've been making enormous profits. You mention 2 hours of farming, while the actual farming takes 5 minutes... Just stop posting if you don't know what you are talking about, please.

Massively's exclusive interview
Coinshare needs to be removed. It was simply a horrible remedy to the lack of free trade and the unfairness of random drops. It's created millions of gps out of thin air and seriously imbalanced the game towards a few boring camping places. Of course Jagex soon realized their mistake and added lootshare potential which is a far better fix. But then they leave in coinshare... please, no

Fishing, Mining, and Killing In the Living Rock Caverns for Great Xp and Cash (NEW DHAROKING METHOD)
If you are going to use bolt racks, you might as well just go chinning IMO. Bolt racks is probably 120+k xp per hour, but at a cost of 400k/h (ammo). Chinning is 300k+ per hour, at a cost of 900k (rough estimate). I know what I'd choose.

200M in all Skills
Thank you, Zarfot, for posting here. You've showed me yet again how mature and smart you are. Wish I could be as rational as you and just drop this "stupid game" :) Good luck with your real goals. I'm sure you'll make it with the mindset you have.
