Why do people say they're so good? I'm a bit confused on this, as maple short bow and rune arrows have the same stats (+69 ranged attack, +49 ranged strength), and they fire at the same speed. But rune arrows cost around 230 each, whilst throwing rings cost around 320ish. Is it all because throwing rings are one handed? I bought 2k throwing rings before I realized this, but I like the rings because they seem funner than a crossbow or short bow for some reason.

Yeah, a half hour seems correct. When I was going for 70 agility, I didn't keep track exactly, but I think I got somewhere around 40 to 50k exp an hour with a terrorbird.

In a way, I think it may be a buyable skill, but not on a scale such as chinning in range. You could use piety all the time, although it's extremely expensive. Also, to increase the chance of your max hit, you could use expensive items such as bandos chestplate and tassets. But for the casual trainer, a whip and a super set are more than enough to level quickly. I wouldn't consider it really buying, as the quickest methods give 100k exp/hour, and you actually profit from it. You can't do that with chinning.

I finally got it after my 8th try! :thumbsup: Thanks so much for this awesome guide. The healers always used to screw me up, and the last two times they spawned at least 4 times -.- But somehow this time I managed to get past the healers and kill Jad! I'm so happy, wanted this cape since it came out :D

I find that quests are much funner if you can do them yourself, though I've used guides ever since I became a member >.< When I first started, the first quest I did was rune mysteries. Although it took at least 3 hours, because I couldn't find the air altar, it was fun, and extremely satisfying to know that I finished a quest. I should stop using quest guides so much now though, takes away from the fun really (though I usually just want the rewards : ).

Nice, thats amazing! I especially like that last tab, doubles of every melee item is something I could never afford :thumbup:

Wow. He was using periods on rs? Who on rs uses periods at the end of every line of text they type? Mods? People who don't mind wasting 2 goddamn split seconds to type them? =D> God, can't you accept that using periods when playing on an online game isn't cool? Basically everything you type on rs is what you are saying, not writing. I use periods here for example, but not on rs. Using periods on rs is basically saying: Hello, nice phat period (would look like this: hello, nice phat.) You use commas but not periods? It's just punctuation. Also, by using your logic, typing in "hello, nice phat." should be "hello comma nice phat period" You sound like you're saying that you get to decide what punctuation is "cool."

I'm not sure on the quick methods really, but if you have time, you should just do it bit by bit. I farmed ranarrs, and then made those into prayer pots for profit and free farming/herblore exp. To speed up my farming, I began to plant willow trees (very cheap) and pineapple trees, and got 65 farming from lvl 57 farming in about a week. As for mage, I have no idea, I got mine up by just using it regularly, such as at barrows. Also, you could use stat boosters, but I myself preferred to get the levels.

Summoning is extremely useful, especially when you reach 52 for the terrorbird, and 68 for the bunyip. It's your choice whether you want extra space/free run energy and free healing, but in my opinion, it's definitely worth leveling. Also, just raise what you like. If you hate ranging, by the time you're lvl 90+, you'll absolutely hate the skill. What would be the point in that? Play the game how you want, not just for useless goals which will bore you and make you hate it.

I just go to the bank at Edgeville, then cross the ditch north of there. From there, I run northwest until I reach the south western most rift to the chaos tunnels. You should be in the gargoyles room. From there, go to the northwest portal, to go to the mummies. Then go to the western portal, to go to the zamorak mages, then the northeast portal, to go the dust devils, and finally the portal just north of where you end up, to go to the black demons. Then I just kill the two black demons in the eastern part of the room. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the part where you stated that you don't need the portals :s. Anyways, just go to the rift north of the monastery.

I know it should be my choice, but are there any staple things to block with the points say like: Hellhounds Kalphites Steels Irons Mutated Zygomites etc You should just block tasks that you dislike. A lot of people block steels, because they're so slow and inefficient. I'm not so sure on other tasks. Personally, I have steels, greaters (too crowded/under lvl 127), kalphites and something else blocked, can't remember what >.<. I just disliked those tasks, so I blocked them. Also, there is a good slayer guide here viewtopic.php?f=113&t=763395 by Inuashakent which lists the pros and cons of popularly blocked tasks.

Yeah, like others have said, its all luck based. And if you're looking for money, barrows is very inconsistent, and there are more reliable and quicker ways of making money, such as aviansies or green dragons. I do barrows because its fun for me, not for cash (though its a bonus =P). Don't rely on it for cash though.

Well, since you want that helm so badly, get that first. Then block the tasks that are slow/you don't like, because that will make slayer alot more enjoyable and quicker. Then, if you want the rings, learn how to make them, otherwise just start getting slayer dart runes. But blocking tasks is one of the best aspects of slayer points.

Also, if you have time, you could farm the herbs. I've gotten from 45 herblore to 67, all from farming ranarrs. It takes time, but if you buy the vials of water and snape grass, you still profit, and still get relatively good experience. But if you want it quickly, then follow lalala7324's advice, as I have never really power trained herblore.

Gratz : I can't even imagine myself getting above 60 runecrafting, let alone 82. 8/10

Mithril bolts have a ranged strength of 82, while addy bolts have 100 ranged strength. I'm not sure how much of a difference 18 strength will make, maybe 3 points of damage. Addy bolts cost around 180 each, while mithril bolts are 80 each. So it all depends on how much money you have, and whether or not you want to pay 100 extra for a bit more power.

Add me to the list. This idea owns in my opinion :D

I once got scammed 300k from a dragon halberd :cry: . I almost quit because I struggled to get that halberd :oops: . But luckily I had like 10k iron arrow tips, and someone bought for 150k
