Yup, antifires average out to about 100k xp/hour at a cost of 1200k/hour. Other extreme pots should be about 25gp/xp, and get you 400k/hour xp or something at a cost of 10m. It takes 4 hours to gather phoenix feathers and make antifires for 400k xp, and that costs 4800k. You have to make over 1700k/hour or something for super antifires to be less efficient than other pots, not counting the xp you might get while making money. You could try prayer potions or something to get to 85, basically any potion that's around 25 gp/xp is good. Dont forget that extreme pots are actually somewhat usefull, or did you factor that in too? I know antifires are useful too, but I use way more super sets than antifires. Anyway, it's always a bit hard to get the cost of making those new pots since they are untradeable, but they do have a use so valuing them at zero gp is not really right.

Seems about right, but the bursting data is pre autocast update, so it will probably come down to be a bit more efficient. (like 150 crimsons an hour) and zaaps, you always talk about rock lobsters give x amount of charms, but you mean barraging or bursting? 170 crimsons an hour bursting seems a bit steep, unless it got up that much with extreme mage update and autocast update, but I doubt it since I heard it only affects one rock lobsters.

While bursting you will gain 150 crimsons, 75 gold and around 40 green + a couple of blues. Those 75 golds are only 15 crimsons worth, the 40 green another 15 + lets say 8 crimsons worth of blues. Thats 38, which is indeed decent, but I dont get how you get to 220, unless you mean barraging.

Wow, what a coincidence. At this time of writing, my rs isn't loading so I checked help and advice for some distraction, and guess what, someone bumped my topic. By the way, it's not a virus. Apperantly a lot of people have it, and it's been adress on RSOF. Isn't solved though. Strangely enough I didn't have much problems with it since I posted this, just every now and the, but now it's the second time again in 2 days.

1) Solo merchers dont increase the price of items normally, they increase the price RANGE people have to pay to either sell an item instantly, or buy an item instantly. So the Godwar guy will get exactly the same amount. 2) Indeed, it doesn't create unbuyables. It just makes stuff harder to buy at a lower price, and harder to sell at a higher price. This is what I mean with the fact that a solo mercher is always "stealing" his money from someone else, be it the guy that wants his guthan spear from barrows to sell instantly, or the guy that wants to buy this zamorakian spear for corp instantly. They have to pay a higher price or settle for a lower price (in case of selling), because solo merchers are merching these items. 3) True Indeed, solo merchers don't mess up the economy. I just wanted to point out that the days they provided a service are long gone. By the way, I solo merch.

There's been some topics on these before, with quite indepth information, you might want to look for them. Not sure if they are still accurate with changed rune prices though.

Dont sell them. Do you really need the money? I barely use my ranger boots ever, but I'm very glad I didn't sell them back when they were 3m and I thought they were overpriced. Or when they reached 7m, or 10M. I bought them for 2.5m, which is a price I am okay with paying, even though I barely use them. It depends on your wealth though. I have this much wealth (sorry for boasting) that I wont even notice the extra 15m.

Sorry to burst your bubble but even solo merching is now bad for everyone but the solo mercher. Back in the days, before the GE, merchers charged extra money because they did the effort to gather the items first, and then sell them to someone who needs them en masse and cant be bothered to spend hours getting them. Now, there is the GE, and merchers provide no service whatsoever. Some solo merchers are flipping Z spears. Well, expect to pay 200k under max, in stead of 100k above mid. They just stretch the the price range between getting an item instantly, and selling one instantly. To fit it into your example. You bought a zammy spear for 80k under med for merching purposes. Well, this guy who needs the zammy spear for corp could have gotten it 160k cheaper if you weren't merching it, since he could have bought the one you just bought. Where the hell are you saving him hours? You just ripped him off for 160K gp. And on the Chessy matter. I have mixed feeling here. One part says: she made the money, just like you, so why can't she buy what she wants. The other part says she's a price manipulator and is pulling in probably over 100m a day (this is a very very conservative guess). Imagine she buy's 3 santa's with this profit every day. That means in one year she will have bought 10K santa's. Now, if 1k wasn't already a monopoly, 10k surely is. EDIT: waah, I'm an idiot, it comes down to another 1K santa's, not 10K. Still, that's the double of what she has now, and she makes probably a lot more than 100m a day.

Mage def is based on magic level, defense level and magic defence of your equipment...

Yeah, Qeltar has a guide on it. Anyway, you missed the boat for the cheap xp. I bought 38k super energies for 1-1.7k each, and will hopefully get my papaya's for around 1.5-1.7k each. This will come down to around 3-3.5k per 200 xp which is not too bad if you compare it with the other methods and it is ultra fast. You could also buy antifires and collect your own phoenoix feathers. Only 12gp/xp, but opportunity cost of collecting feathers.

Another alternative would be ardougne cloak to recharge prayer, edgeville to bank and ring of slaying to get to slayer tower, then run south. All of these teleports are basicly free.

I have personally only tried scabarites of the ones you listed and they seem to be around 120-150 crimsons an hour. For black demons If a cannonball hits an average of 15 you will need around 12 cannonballs to kill a black demon. Black demons drop crimsons around 50% of the time, so you pay 24 balls for a crimson, which is pretty damn expensive if you look at cannonball's prices. Of course, you will kill some yourself too (lets say 40 free crimson charms) but even then... The best option in there seems to be chinning necs. I have a chinning guide for ape atoll and someone there commented that you can get very decent xp per chin there, if you use a rune c'bow to kill the ones that are left behind. I dont remember the exact figures, but you can look it up at the comments in my guide (link in sig). I would personnaly do that one since it will most likely be very good ranged experience too (I think you should get 100-200k xp an hour there). It's gonna be quite expensive, but it is quick range training too, keep that in mind. I think cannoning won't be as good. Wallasaki's could have been a decent option if talismans weren't as expensive. Now you are nearly forced to gather your own obsidian charms (which was very very very good money until yesterday when the lava titan pouches got dumped).

I agree with Zaaps mostly. I just disagree with some details: 1) I disagree that you should value your hp xp. Pcing for your hp xp is the most stupid thing you can do. I admit, I did the last 500k on pc cause I was going to get my first 3 99s at once, but that was because I was nooby and I could do bolt enchanting during the games. Now I have 16.6m hp xp, which means those 10 hours were more or less wasted (at least I did some bolt enchanting in between). 2) Waterfiends is NOT twice as slow as bursting. This of course depends on your melee stats but personally I pull in 130+ crimsons an hour while doing waterfiends in chaos tunnels with my iron titan + decent melee xp (which I value higher now since I'm already 99 magic). Anyway, considering all this I think bursting is the BEST way to get 99 magic and a good summoning lvl. Since you basicly only need a decent magic lvl and some prayer, you should start with bursting and getting 99 magic + a good summoning lvl. After that you can use your high summon lvl to train your melee and other skills more effectively. If you are really going for 99 summoning you can start doing waterfiends once you have a decent combat lvl and use your good familiars you earned through bursting. Key point is: I wouldn't suggest bursting/barraging after 99 mage, especially if you aren't maxed melee (like me) yet. If you are it's a question which xp you value higher, and how high you value your time.

I feel stupid selling my santa's for 30.5m now. Well yeah, made a nice 4m profit each on them. They went up 1.5m by the way. Couldn't help thinking about how Chessy just "made" 1.5B in one GE update.

Noo! Beating TzTok-Jad should be a fact as a Elite task! What's up with the obsession? Does the fact you have a guide no Jad has anything to do with it?

Long Live Inflation! Around 1.5 months ago I saw I had around 880m so I began thinking about reaching 1B. I didn't do that much in those 1.5 months (bit of flipping here and there, but only using a fraction of my cash and potential) and look at that: Passed it by a good 140m without even noticing :-). I think I have to "blame" herblore for a big part of it. Was early with getting supplies, so I got my energies all under 1.5k each for instance. (I bought those super attacks just a few days ago, they're crashing now :(). Other reasons are my sgs, dfs, ranger boots, berserker, whip, fury and bandos/armadyl (bought those last 2 during pvp fix crash) that keep going up (in short, inflation). I think I will be back down to 1B when I finally gonna use those avantoes and super energies to get 95 herblore. I also have 88-90 smithing on my task list, which will drain it (a little) bit too.

Or 'Equip a Fire Cape' If I had to do it again I'd just be spending 2 hours thinking about all the XP I wasn't getting D: Noo, this would finally give me some motivation to get a place holder fire cape.

Will you guys please forget about level 3 skillers? That's not the point - the point is that it's absurd that someone who doesn't even have one skill at 50 can enter these worlds, while someone who dedicated much more work into his/her character may not. I'm here to discuss the cons of the current requirement. I think a guy with all skills lvl 42 would probably more mature than this lvl 90 with 70 str, 76 att and 71 def, 87 cooking, 83 fletching and lvl 1 farming and summoning. Mostly for me a good indicator of someone's maturity is his farming and summoning lvl (slayer too often), try it out, really. Immature impationt children don't get that they can do farming in between stuff and get bored watching their plants grow. They also don't realise the usefulness of summoning and they don't have any charms anyway since they have powertrained on some no-reward high xp monster. Conclusion: I'd rather have these all rounded albeit low lvl people in "my world", than these 99 cooker nubs.

If anyone could have a reasonable estimate it would have been Duke Freedom. Of course he didn't pretend he knew how much there was in game. He just gave an estimate, and like I said, if anyone could have a good estimate, it was him.

Should be possible if you are not too unlucky with raw food drops. Bring a few ppots just incase though. Like other people said, you will still make a nice profit. In fact, I still profit when pietying and protecting from ranged in chaos tunnels and using a tond of iron titan scrolls.

Low level pking is completely different from high level pking and there's many differences in between the two. Some people enjoy a certain type of pking so they make accounts which stay in that specific level group. That's why people make skilling accounts? Yeah it's extremely fun to lvl cooking between lvl 50 and 70!

Dont restart. YOu say you will only play like 5 min a day and in the end you keep setting new goals and playing more than you intended. Keep away from this game, really.

Do penguins and tears of guthix for lower lvls. It's a waste of charms otherwise IMO.

Crystal bow is NOT worse than mithril bolts. It's on par or even better than broad bolts. Anyway, your outfit is great, except that you should use void if you have it already. Dont bother with ranger boots, get snakeskin. Also, I wouldn't bother with PC personally, but that's just me.

Killing rex might become very good xp now. Used to be around 50k/h if I recall right and is now bumped upto around 100k. (probably more like 80)
