The dark bow is all about the special. If you want the accuracy, get a rune xbow. Otherwise use knives or the msb for training.

I only use the def mode now ;)

There is an excellent guide in the AOW section about completing the fight caves without guthans. Then you won't have to barrow for it ;)

There is no point in meleeing them with 66 str. The tip.it monster killing guide suggest 80 att & str for meleeing iron drags and 90 att & str for steel dragons. That leaves you with range or magic. You will need at least 70-80 range for killing them effectively. Fire bolt with chaos gaunts is the most cost effective way of killing them. You will need around 50 casts per dragon.

You can do it. Try getting 70 def, 52+ prayer and 70 ranged as soon as possible. Then it will be very easy. Att and str are not important.

I never really believe in "best" monsters to train on. Boredom is my biggest problem while training, so I like diversity. If you feel like me then train the same way as me: slayer! Sometimes assignments are disappointing, sometimes they are great. But you will have some nice diversity while training and at higher lvls, slayer is a really usefull skill to have. As for equipment. try to get a d scimmy for training and a whip once you've hit 70 attack. Also get a dd(p++) or a d battle axe for support. You can use the d battle axe to really boost your strength, then use a cheap restore pot to get your attack and def up. Rune armour provides good protection and is cheap. Some interesting strength boosting equipment such as the berzeker helm, obbby shield and rune defender are also good to get and not that expensive. This should get you started no problem :thumbsup:

I love mathematics :P Of course, the biggest problem is knowing the actual drop rate. Without that information it is very hard to make any predictions. One thing that would be nice is to turn the table of drop chance versus amount of KQ into a graph. That provides as much information as the table, but is easier to understand and faster to use.

I still don't get it. I suppose you only buy 1 stack of UNIDS and if that stack turns out to be rannar you buy? If you are yelling buying all UNIDS and then you refuse to buy anything but rannar, it is scamming. But I don't think that you're only buying 1 stack, so what am I missing?

I did a lot of metal dragon killing recently using both magic and ranged techniques. When using magic, I need about 50 casts per steel dragon and a bit less for iron dragons. At around 200gp per cast, each dragon costs you around 10k to slay. Pretty expensive... You will need one of the rare drops to make cash this way. I prefer to range the dragons. Emerald(e) bolts to poison the dragon and then I switch to mith bolts. I use 1 ranged pot every 2 antifire pots. At 91 ranged I can kill the dragons much faster with ranged than when using magic. And it's a lot cheaper too.

Well, if money is no problem just fletch the highest possible longbow. So normal longbow until you can fletch oak longbows, then willow longbow, maple longbow.

I feel like it's more like 1 in 100. I killed many many lessers and didn't get that many rune meds. They are still one of the best f2p monsters.

I would go for the kite. even with a -18 magic attack you still hit the brothers all the time. The prayer bonus from the book is not that important since the prayer drain is the main reason for running out of prayer points. That leaves you with the def bonus from the kite which is always useful. More def = less food & less p pots.

1)is there any generally accepted etiquette? Not really. However, the mining guild often shows more courtesy to others in both f2p and p2p. Basically, more rocks give more opportunity for mining and less competition for rocks. 2)what do you do in these situations? Depends, either I switch worlds or I hold my ground. Some mining areas are often crowded and I know that switching won't make much of a difference so I hold my ground. If my mining lvl is much better I'll stick too. Otherwise I'll switch. I feel no pride in defending a mining spot, I only care about getting as much ore as possible in the least amount of time. 3)Are the P2P worlds any better? The p2p worlds have much more rocks. But some spots are always crowded, such as the rune rocks. As a general note I think that competition for rocks is really part of the mining skill. It is different from wc and fishing for a reason. Mining is a pretty hard skill to lvl, so once you achieved a good lvl, use it! I generally don't share rocks with players who have much lower mining lvls, simply because I can outmine them very easily. Mining is slow enough as it is, and I'm not letting the sharing of rocks slow me down even more. If you feel like others are rude by taking "your" rocks, improve your mining lvl.

I'll even settle for lvl 1 magic IRL. Home teleport would be great, free and fast way of getting home after a good night out...

I like it. I would love it even more if all the minigames are centralized to non world related servers. Basically, you can enter any minigame from any world, but your character then gets transfered to a specific world so that all players always play on the same server. This would also be great for a specific trading centre, with specific merchanting tools (legal autotyper?) to attract players to sell their stuff their. But the world tags make things a little better already. :)

I'm thinking. How about first killing karil with prayer and then start searching for the tunnel entrance. Kill all other brothers there. It shouldn't be too hard to safespot the brothers in the tunnels and you're wearing the best equipment for ahrim anyway. The advantage is that you could possibly use much cheaper bolts. This idea just pops up in my mind, what do you think about it?

I entangled damis and then used earth wave. I had to entangle him several times, but he hardly hit me at all and a used perhaps a single pray pot.

I just read all your posts and topics and I'm wondering.... Are you depressed and therefore so negative or do you just not like this game?

Mentions: GWD(Bandos down with hail of punches, pail of hunches), Barbarian skills (Brutal way for shark retrieval, rather medieval) Christmas 2006 (Sing the song for shantay claws, clumpy gores ) Fremmmentk Isles (Izso easy to make troll king shiver, shoal thing river) Varrok Museum (Curator taught but the kids are whiny, wilds not kindly), Cold War (Penguin eyes are low and evil, crunchy weevil), Imp and Sheep graphical updates (Impy sheep new and shiny, sew and ninely), Ava's attractor (Pick it up with the undead quiver, quintet liver) , Eagle's Peak (Hunter strong when the ferrets herd, hereticÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s word) Amazing! This really shows just how much time is invested in new updates. Now i'm certainly going to read the next chaos elemental's letter more carefully.

Isn't a berserker necklace ideal for this thing? You won't have to worry about the attack or def decreases. Use the protect item prayer to make sure it's safe when you die.

That is the problem. The crown has NOTHING to do with trusting that player, remember that! If anything, we know that pmods can abuse powers and break rules just like any other player. Trust has to be earned, that is the only way.

In his book the dwarf mentioned that it was impossible to reach the dungeon from the wildy side, due to some cliff blocking the passage. The ice path was the only way to get there.

Summoning :twisted:

nice theory, but very unlikely.

I still don't think that the dungeon is in wildy. The dwarf's tale mentioned that it was impossible to get to that place from the wild. His transcripts stated that the only entrance was the ice path. I think no wildy, but you do need to have done a large part of desert treasure (killed kamil i think) to get there. But i guess you're right. The "tectonic movements" might effect some close by, non-wildy, areas. We only have one option: wait and see :)
