Back in 2005 I always though Zezima, the old nite, and lilyuffie88 were the best, cuz they were always in the top 3 it seemed. Now, I have no idea, because it's just pointless. They're just people I never met, so I dont' care much anymore.

I have 2. I love the challenge of beating Jad and getting the cape, it's one part of Runescape where I feel that I actually need some degree of skill, and its fun.

Well I just got another fire cape today, and I had the exact same stuff as you, except I used a zamorak unholy book instead of the fally shield. I brought 3k broad bolts (used I think around 400), and 700 diamond bolts (used only 50ish, but I just decided to bring all I had). In my inventory I had 3 range pots, the diamond bolts, 10 brews, and 14 super restores. I brought so many brews because whenever I go I usually get hit a lot. I beat Jad with 2 doses of ranging potion, 4 full super restores (4), and 3 saradomin brews (4) remaining. But in the end, experience with Jad will help you the most. BTW, use this guide viewtopic.php?f=103&t=565504, its excellent and I learned how to do the fight caves all from this video.

Is it just me, or does that seem a bit pricey to kill just one brother? Melee is basically free, and other bolts are cheap. Well, I usually only lose about 2 arrows at the most per ahrim kill. And it's all personal preference for me anyways. I just prefer arrows over bolts :P Ahrim always gets lucky hits in on me, so I like to have him done with quickly.

D bow with dragon arrows works well. I can usually get at least a 20-20 spec, and then hit constant 10-10s from then on. Usually dead in 4 turns or so.

Nice, thats awesome. Love the runecrafting and the farming =P

Really though, the wilderness course is best at that level. Sure, the revenants are annoying, but they come like two times at the most per hour. I went to ape atoll at lvl 69, and I failed way too much for it to be nearly as good as wilderness course. When you stop failing, then ape atoll is the way to go until 90ish I believe.

If you don't like rock crabs, why train there? You should play for fun, not to grind. If you find grinding fun, then go ahead and kill rock crabs/experiments/armoured zombies. Otherwise, I'm not too sure on what to train on at your stats. Back then, I just used to do whatever I felt like doing, even though it was inefficient. I just find it weird how you hate grinding, but you do it anyways :?

You could also use a berserker necklace and that obsidian short sword (don't know its real name, sorry). It's faster strength exp than dragon scimmy, but you sacrifice defense I believe. Not as fast as saradomin sword, but its alot cheaper for something just a little worse.

Its a reward from the Haunted Mine quest. To finish the quest you have to mine a crystal and chisel it into an amulet. In order to get a salve amulet (e), you have to complete the Tarn's Lair minigame.

You could probably get a fire cape, but killing Jad may be troublesome your first few times. I tried my first time at 75ish hp/def, and 70 range, and I made it to Jad with enough extra supplies. But I always have had trouble with the healers. So, depends on your ability to fight Jad. For waterfiends, Zamorak Spear is generally seen as better, because of its higher crush bonus, which is more valuable than strength bonus there. But for nearly all other situations, Saradomin Sword is better, especially for strength training. No idea about log out grave thing.

Wouldn't rune defender work better than dragonfire shield? The accuracy bonuses outweigh the +2 strength bonus it has over rune defender, and as you said, if you have high defense, bunyip should keep your hp up, especially at dust devils.

If you want the task done quickly, just kill the baby black dragons in the chaos tunnels near the green dragons. The adult black dragons are extremely slow exp, though if you like killing them, go ahead. If you want a bit of fun, you could also kill the KBD, though thats even slower exp. But yeah, for speed, baby black dragons.

Well I just went to waterfiends because I was bored, and I got 63 crimsons in one bunyip. That'd be approximately 85 crimsons per hour. I know its nothing to draw conclusions on, but I'm guessing you should get at least 80 crimsons per hour. I used a setup similar to Aslans, except I used a SGS, because I like big hits :P Since godswords are less effective than zamorakian spears, from what I've heard, your slightly lower stats should be enough to get similar rates to mine, assuming you use the spear. In my inventory I brought 2 super attacks, 2 super strengths, 8 prayer pots, a super restore (summoning points/prayer points), 2 bunyips, and 50 bunyip scrolls. I repotted att/str every 11 mins on the bunyip.

My question isn't about the costs or exp rates, but about the position of the monkeys. On guides, it always states to get the monkeys into a 3x3 square for the most exp. But when I chin, I just let 3 monkeys stack into each other in a smaller 2x2 square. When I release the chin, I see 3 damage splats on each stack (I use bunyips instead of fighter familiars, don't think any familiars are strong enough at my level, so can't be because of familiar). So is it really necessary to get the monkeys in a 3x3 square, and I'm just imagining numbers? Or is it ok for the monkies to stack?

How long did you leave your offer in for? When I did that quest, and later on when I was making larupia hunting clothes, I left in an offer overnight for max and they bought eventually.

You should be able to get at least 70+ charms an hour, probably more. Whenever I go there for slayer tasks, I don't pay too much attention to the rates. I've tried to kill waterfiends with just bunyip and raw fish drops, but you'd need to get really lucky with the raw fish drops. You could try it, but I'm quite sure you'd need protect from range.

Yeah, like kent said, 3 seeds is nothing. I farm around 50 ranarr seeds a week, and I make over 1 mill for barely any work, just maybe 5 mins per run. Over 1 mill for less than an hour of work is good money, I'd say. Just keep going, you'll start seeing the profits soon, unless you're really, really unlucky.

At the general store I only saw field rations, which when used on the void knight did nothing. And do you guys know a good clan that I could join until I get void ranged, and then leave without a problem?

I have two questions regarding pest control. Firstly, is there a clan that I could join which would be more efficient than world 144? People there don't know what to do sometimes, and getting void ranged is gonna be extremely frustrating. And secondly, on the tip it guide I read that if you use meal packs you could heal the void knight. Where do you get these meal packs? It would help a lot if I could try to heal the knight when he gets low on hp.

Oh lol, I just noticed that. I meant magic short bow, haven't used maple short bow for like 3 years now x.x

Another extremely good way to train is to blackjack the menaphite thugs in that desert city (starts with Poll, can't remember rest of the name). You can find an excellent guide at viewtopic.php?f=180&t=747063&hilit=blackjack. It may take you a bit of time to get used to initially, but after that, the exp just starts flowing.

Ahh, ok, thanks =P. That convinces me more, as I knew they were the same speed from watching my char, and I did similar damage.

Well on rune wiki I checked both and it says that they both have a speed of 4. Also, with rune arrows and MSB, they have the exact same ranged attack and strength, except the throwing rings are one handed, and nearly 50% more expensive.

Another option if you don't like to use guthans is to go to the chaos tunnels, pray range, and slash away. I find it to be fast exp, as there are so many dagonnoths, but the cost of prayer potions may discourage you from it. Also, you can't use a cannon in the chaos tunnels.
