Like Jad, sap mage does drain his magic and defence. I can manage to hit him with 4x attack when I run out of restores... or was it done by the war tortle?

Laura pretty much answered your question. I personally belief that it is simply less people trading it in GE, you know when a market go bear, price frustrates less. But nevertheless, keep items instead of cash for storing wealth is still worthwhile at the time, given that you can still lend gears for money and there is still a difference between rsof price and GE. And for the recent quest... the items directly affect by this i'd say are BGS(rsof claim that it spec is good), Z spear(wiki say the boss is weak to stab and people belief that wiki IS the source of all knowledge) and ruby (e)/addy bolts.

It may be useful if you are farming monsters or for slayer. But for end game boss... offensive stats is much more useful as boss will hit you no matter you have 110lv defence or only 80. Just learnt my lesson from Nomad today. The faster you can kill a boss, the less damage you have to take, or you will be running out of supplies.

Cant beat him :( . Got him down to 1/4 everytime but only have like 2-4 brews left and just cant dish out enough damage to finish him. I can 100% dodge his mines and the 75 attack, but I just cant take him down fast. Usually I have to eat around 10 ice barrage + hp-1 combo before get him down to 1/4. My inventory is 1bgs for spec, 1zs for the last 1/4, 10 normal restores (run out of super restores, ge wont sell), rest + war tortorise is brews (dont know why brews can still be bought fast in ge even now). I use sap mage during the encounter. Gear: neitz helm glory black d hide set ranger boots barrows gloves ava's accumlator rune c'bow blessed spirit shield diamond ring (i) ruby (e) botls EDIT: Killed nomad finally, pretty much the same setup except a bought a super attack and a ddp++ instead of bgs. Close call though, only 1.2 brews left. In fact I run out of restore pots first, the killing blow is actually done by the war tortoise -.-

Maybe nomad is easier for a 99 everything like you. For me, Avatar is just sit behind the corridor (safe spot) and shoot. You dont even have to destroy roots (it only spawn 3 times). Nomad is intense as we low levels, we have to kill him before our brew runs out. We dont have top level BoB and we hit lots of 0s.

By most equipment, I guess you mean a dragon dagger p++, a rune crossbow, a lava/air staff, anicent/void staff, whip, saradomin sword(or eventually switch to bandos gs) and zamarok spear?

Ah, thats how GE beat inflation.

But his farming is only 38... I think you should grow harralander, seeds are cheap, you can obtain red spider eggs fairly easily, or chocolate bars (-> dusts) from RFD Chest. If you don't mind spending as you stated, (TheLeonardo's suggestion) prayer potion is pretty nice, you can grow some of the ranarr and buy others. For farming, as troacctid stated, highest level fruit tree and tree you can grow can give really fast experience. Highest level tree is crazy money drain. Dont go anything more than willow/maple unless you are really rich. Highest fruit tree is fine as they always need 1day to grow.

Try test it on trolls. Trolls are weak to poison.

I'd suggest not using Guthans at your melee levels, you'd spend far too long trying to get a heal and wasting prayer points(which isn't productive considering your prayer level.) Veracs skirt&helm with a few brews really is the best for you, in my opinion at least! He cant use guthans anyway without 70attack and defence. When I first Jad (by that time we dont have nice bolts but have to bring 2 crappy crystal bows in), I was 77att, 76str, 76def, 74ranged, 55prayer, 79hp. Guthans method is the "safer" way, because all we need is 2 brews and 2 super restores. It usually end with more prayer pots at Jad ,compared with the veracs method. You dont have to subsistute prayer pots for more brews. The main damage from fight caves is the lv9x ranging guys, thats the only time when guthans come in.

Have to look at GE as well. Just cant be lazy. Price trend is important, if you start stocking something which is dropping (like prayer potion now), by the time you have finished your potions, the price difference maybe greater than you may expected.

I dont think most items are rising. Lets say it this way, popular items are rising. If you want buy something to store your wealth, try expensive weapons like whip, gs or combat consumables. Btw, if you expect something is going to drop, you should avoid buying the item but to keep a close eye on it everyday for signs of recovering. If the item stays flat, either you wont get a trade or it worth buying for your current task. Did oak and rune really crashed?? Runes looks pretty stable to be and oak... it is still the way to train construction. Gold is crashing because of living rock like the guy above have said. Oct7, Oct26 and Dec15 are the recent big dates that really shocked the market. Oct 7 herb update, almost everything else go crashing except herb and seeds go shocking. Oct 26, the pretty usless anti-76k measure which did nothing. Dec15, the more recent one, ancient curses and tzhaar changes make dragon bones and fury go up.

You only need the level to start the dialogue. Just quickly munch a garden pie after you have the level and talk with the guy. If the time need for getting the stew for that level < the time you need to make the money for the level+ the training time you need for the level, why not?

Given that the price is keep on rising, if you have a lot of capital, buy enough ranaar/seeds for 3 levels and sell the potion after you have finished all the potions.

I'd say the other way around. If you can manage to get good grades with rs running, then go on. Or else, just forget about rs. Yes, university life may be busy, but I can still have time for questing, weekly penguins or an occational pvp. But I dont think first year is really that busy anyway, the horror comes after first year. I got 94 magic by wind strking spiders for preparing last year's mid term exam and 99 defence from badits for preparing for last year's final. Now I am back in bandits for this year's mid term. RS in fact stop me from playing some even more addicting faceboo.. *cough* games *cough* by occupying my computer resources. You were an RC pker? We dont really RC pk now, we rush people with claws outside GE. However, if you do come back, I would recommand you to buy a pair of dragon claws and try bounty +1 worlds to see how pk now works.

God wars and dks are basically killing kq hoping for chain, chance are if your luck are down, you lose money on supplies. (Can be over 9000 per hour or going negative...) Aviansies are a way to train range and make a bit money (around 300k-ish/hour). They drop noted addy bar, which you collect and sell them, alch the other drops. The main money making way is still good old green dragon killing and sell their bones. (500k/hour now?) The new way of making money is camping GE and merching stuff, I dont really know how to do that. Dont forget to get this http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=manage_thy_kingdom.htm up and running again. It gives 1mil+ for 15min of chopping trees, resupplying coins and selling stuff to GE each week.

You can try this tool: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/smitfraudfix.php Use option 5 first, if it doesnt work, then option 1. If you need more help, post your hijackthis log to hijackthis analysis forums. Anti vrus are for detecting harmful file and (attempts to) prevent you from running it. It (usually) dont fix your problems.

The problem with snaps is it hardly moves, both seed and herb. I dont farm everyday but I do farm herbs per week after penguins, I do calcualte carefully before going to myarm's patch. I never find myself buying snap seeds. Since the herb change in early October, kwarm and avantoe get the upper hand alternately. Edit: I use the formula herb*5-seed cost, different formulas might be the reason of our different conclusions.

Well I was planning on using it more for boss hunting like dks because I'm using a 2h weapon anyway. Not sure about 90+ ranged, but for my level, boss seems to prefer more attack bonus than anything, which crystal fails... Why do you want to use it anyway?

Check GE period. I dont even know why the original poster have to limit himself into only rannar or snaps... I aggree with the exp part but they are not always more profitable, not even most of the time. Snaps are almost always the poor choice if you are going purely for money.

Not sure whats the reason of "ghost dont wear capes". Ghosty robes from desert treasure mini quest included a cape as well. By the way, the storyline sounds familiar, anyone remember what jagex referencing at?

Lobster? Hell no, their difference between cooked and raw means you are losing money fast. Monkfish isnt that great either, consider you can burnt some of them. Sharks is the best and is now a even better cooking option.

This. You should get your kingdom running again first. Finish the related quests and check manage thy kingdom guides. It is getting free 1 mil for 15min of chopping trees and selling stuff to GE per week. Just remember to keep 1 mil in coffer (or 2mil if you check per week).

Yea, it is possible with the new weapons we have now, shhh... we used to kill him slowly with 2 crappy crystal bows. If you dont want to target the healers one by one, get some chincompas, grey will do.

The "fun" part of the game requires you to be "lv120+" or "ags needed, no noobs". Have a look at rsof clans recruitment or events.
