Is there a split second delay before the 2nd jump, or does it just instantly jump twice the normal space. I had a problem where the typical keypress would cause it to do a very fast "jump-jump" and a very delicate, quick keypress would cause it to jump only once. I searched everywhere for the answer and found nothing, I ended up doing a format because I needed to anyway, and that was the only thing I could find to fix it. If you have the exact same problem, good luck figure it out, please post if you do find the answer.

Watch some youtube videos if you haven't already. I have one in my sig for solo maging, for teams you need to know a few more things but it will at least help you on luring.

With your stats I would go with TDs, 3 man bandos or 3 man sara.

In my opinion DKs - Yak > Overload > Turmoil Solo Bandos - Overload > Turmoil > Yak (all are practically required during peak hours) Team Bandos - Extremes > Turmoil > Unicorn Team Sara - Extremes > Turmoil > Unicorn Duo Armadyl - Yak > Unicorn > 92 Herb > Soul split Team Armadyl - Unicorn=92 Herb Corp - Overload > Turmoil Slayer - Extremes > Turmoil > Yak Edit for summary: If you choose... Yak - Do Dks and (duo) Armadyl for money to get the others. Herb/Turmoil - Do Team Bandos, Sara, Arma to get the others.

With your stats, defensive barrage with battle robes all the way. Its close to 200 crimsons per hour with proper luring, plus all the other charms you get.

Keep in mind though that it is 6 hours of combat, similar to barrows. You can easily make a set of fully charged battle robes last 10+ hours, since a lot of the time is spent luring. Also, I'm fairly certain that it is under 600 casts per hour, not at all near 1.2k (I think anyways, haven't really measured). Yes 600 per hour is probably close to the max, I've never gotten the opportunity to barrage on a 2k pop world. I developed a new lure that helps compensate for lower population worlds though. It takes 30 seconds to complete from the drop pile to the initial cast, but I don't wait for respawns at the drop pile, I wait near the ladder and can complete the lure from there in about 22 seconds.

Kaichou is definitely the best show this season. I agree that Angel Beats is a let down, it feels really uneventful and random. Working is probably the funniest of the bunch. It kind of reminds me of a shonen version of Ouran. Silver summed up B Gata perfectly. Another show I'm really enjoying is Katanagatari, light novels seem to be really good at making amazing anime. Edit: Also started watching Eureka Seven. Enjoying it so far, about 10 episodes in. Its something thats interesting enough for me to watch yet not so amazing that I'm okay with power mining granite at the same time.

But then you never get to heal because Prime will always be on you... and by the time you kill prime to be able to switch to SS, you'll be at even lower HP, risking death. Right? Also, isn't prime much more profitable than supreme? A large source of profits is talismans. I'm in the process of working out a good prime/rex setup with yak. I'm also of the opinion that prime is way more profitable than supreme. With 99 range, boosting prayers, ranging potions and rune bolts he dies quite fast. Unfortunately I don't have soul split but I'll make it work. Thanks for the guide Artemis. Just got my yak yesterday and I had no idea what to bring, worked out perfectly.

[hide] This is wrong. Sara Sword is better than the spear, but the difference is small enough that the spear is perfectly acceptable. No, you are wrong. SS has +60 crush, Zspear has +65. The difference is small, but i found i was faster with a zspear, likely because of the crush bonus. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Saradomin_sword http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Zamorakian_spear You might want to compare the strength bonuses. From personal data SS is definitely better but ZS works if you don't want to buy one. The str bonus is marginally lower, which equates to a 10-20 lifepoint lower max hit. The ZS, however, will make you land bigger hits more often than the SS. They are very similar, so whichever you have works, but i stick with the zs because its cheaper, and imo, better for monsters vulnerable to crush. EDIT: Based on tipits calc, i will hit 11 lifepoints less as a max hit using a zs compared to a ss. Attack bonus does not make you hit bigger hits more often, it makes you hit less 0s. Strength bonus does what you described by increasing your mean damage. Simulating what each weapon will help you with is great and all but based on personal testing, I wouldn't bring a ZS for 4k crimsons unless it would somehow mess up my bank. Less 0s = hits more often = bigger hits more often. Higher crush means you hit more accurately while on a crush attack style. We clearly have opposite opinions based on personal experience. Agree to disagree? [/hide] Yeah I think we're about at that point lol.

Karil's bow is way better except for jad himself. The extra distance it has is also invaluable for luring. Use setup two, use nezzy helm and snakeskin boots. Bring 8 brews 8 super rests 8 prayer pots ee and 3 ranging potions. Start using range pot once the 360s come and redose every 8 minutes. Make sure you use your ardy 3 or trimmed 99 cape if you choose to use karil's crossbow. IIRC you made a few posts about wanting to stay low budget, but hindering your ability to do the fight caves by not taking minimally expensive upgrades ends up costing you more money. If you made it to Jad on previous setups with plenty of supplies and just messed up prayer switches, keep using that setup. If you feel you're using too many supplies getting to Jad or can't even get to Jad, make some nice small upgrades such as karil's crossbow.

Muggis AoW guide with your best minotaur + 10% or 15% strength prayers is very fast and not expensive like dhing monkey skellies.

Void, SS, fire cape, fury, zerker ring, d boots. If you don't have void use karils/dhide + nezzy and barrows gloves. Lunar staff, EE, uni scrolls, pure set, 11 prayer pots, leave the rest as room for drops. Use just piety prayer, redose your super set every 8 minutes (boosted max-8=repot level), bank every 32 minutes, bring a uni pouch with you and recharge points at obelisk. I got 110 crims/h with karils and 120/h with void using this setup.

Berserker necklace is the only thing I can think of other than what you've already listed. Also the dungeoneering shields but I'm guessing those are a no go as well.

I would not bother with battle robes for bursting. I would only use them when barraging. They're very much worth using but they are undeniably a hassle to get your hands on and utilize over a long period of time (recharging takes 2+ hours). Personally I like making money more than playing FoG and playing the junk trading game so I stick with the traditional ahrim's setup.

Edit: All set thanks

I use the one kill per trip method as well and it works like a charm. The best part is you get to bank every single drop without losing time and you don't have any prayer costs.

That makes sense. I always turn on iTunes before runescape... Should I do runescape first from now on? Itunes isn't usually CPU heavy unless you're playing videos on it. Its worth a shot though.

At level 70 combat stats and unranked summoning level, green dragons or rune mining really wont be very good. If combat interests you then like Bladewing said, boss hunting is very very profitable. If you want to go the combat route I would do some slayer at your level to get some decent charms and xp. Its faster to do them separately using the most optimal methods but you're in a tight spot because I'm guessing you don't have Defender of Varrok started, you don't have 70 prayer etc. Waterfiends are a pain without a Bunyip, especially with your stats but it is doable. Once you get a good beast of burden and 80 combat stats you can start making good use of green drags and can do some entry level boss hunting such as DKs.

Your graphics card is integrated so it shouldn't be a problem with drivers since you know it has worked before/is working now. The fact that it randomly works after restarts makes me think you're running something CPU intensive in the background before trying to start up RS. I assume you don't have things like other games or movie players running when you couldn't get it to load. Check for things like virus scanners that may be running without you realizing it. You can find out specifically what is utilizing your CPU by: Pressing ctrl + alt + del Click 'start task manager' if on vista/7 Click the performance tab Click resource monitor, if on vista/7 you will need to give it permissions, just click allow/accept Click the CPU/Processor tab/button (depends on what os you have) and you will see a big table of info thats constantly updating Click on the CPU column button at the top to sort the list by CPU amount, basically the stuff in the CPU column with higher numbers is using more power (go figure). You can google the processes that are using a large amount of your CPU that you are not familiar with, anything with a value lower than 20 is likely trivial. Sometimes its obvious such as avgscan[Caution: Executable File] - CPU: 54 or something like that. That would be an AVG virus scan. Sometimes its not so obvious such as svchost[Caution: Executable File], which if it is high, is most likely your windows defender running its scan. I know thats a lot to swallow but if the problem pops up again we can help you figure it out.

Definitely do runecrafting. Your stats are low for green dragons and you enjoy runecrafting so you might as well. I would graahk nats -> abyss deaths (65) -> double astral (82) -> double nat (91). You could ZMI to 82+ but thats requires a lot of patience and dedication for only a moderate overall increase in cash.

If you're on vista/7 go to your start menu and type in the search field "device manager" no quotes. Expand display adapaters and tell me what you see. Try loading runescape on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome and see if the result is the same. You probably have IE on your computer still, just run a search for it. Edit: Forgot, if you're on xp you'll need to go to your control panal. Then Hardware and Sound (something like that) then you should see the device manager.

Try a different browser. What kind of video card do you have and do you have the latest drivers?

I don't think spear is ever a great choice over a longsword... Your reasoning being?
