he was talking about karil only here, not the entire 6 barrow team (i wouldnt suggest meleeing any melee brothers without verac's anyway). You can use a dose of super attack, turn on incredible reflexes, unload 4 dds spec's on him and finish with whip. i suggest you to get at least 80 attack to do that though. Super Strength isnt really needed because his hp isnt that high compared to others (unless of course its really low. I'd suggest using super str and also use the str prayer for your level, but not to bother at higher levels)

If you dont want to lose money at all, and you need some leveling speed, knives would be better. However if you are willing to pay a bit for feathers, i'd go for darts, you make more so they last longer

From my experiences with F2P, it is nearly impossible to merchant Raw materials and sell them to p2p (way too many ppl are doing it), you have to do something to it in order for it to sell. I recommend buying coal 160ea and iron 80ea, smelt into steel bars and sell them 550ea. You gain levels while you are at it too.

I believe that there is also a spawn point for the leather boots in the Lumbridge cellar.

No, but it certainly comes a good portion more than what they bought for originally, exactly what a merchant does anyway. EDIT : i didnt read your part correctly. However, again you are comparing a decayable discontinued item. However there are equivalents of a Rare merchant in real life. Those are Auctioneers (not the guys who does the auctions, but those who sell stuff as auctions). Over time, those antiques will sell for more and more because it will become rare (due to perhaps destruction, much like bannage or high alch in RS)

Only the possessor's of rares at your level, rares translate to high or low levels it takes no skill level rather a level of thinking, is it really just hitting the trade button over and over again or are YOU just digging Dharoks crypt too much? (by YOU i mean the people who skill/barrow for money, merchants work but in a different way, skillers work, in a different way.) What are you saying? Currently I'm nat crafting for money, because my field of merchanting has gone dry and nobody wants to share secrets with me. Merchanters work yes, but can get over 3M an hour if they do it right. People who click all day all over barrows sometimes don't turn up anything there, like me. It's unfair, because runescape is supposed to be about luck. Not knowing a loophole in the economy and making tens of millions on it. Guess what? Thats what happens in real life too. Some ppl get lucky, other ppl get unlucky. you are comparing some merchanter who perhaps is lucky to a barrower who is unlucky. To a merchant who stands in the same place shouting all day will find a barrower who doesnt do that and get 3 g spears in a single to be unfair on their part when they lose 1m over the course of the day. Ppl get lucky, and are unlucky. Merchanting is not about using economic 'loop-hole', it is part of the economy itself. Supermarkets are merchants, so are wholesalers, and do you say to the same thing to them?

A good explanation for dropping prices in most things are NOT money drain, but rather because more of them are introduced into the game and there isnt enough demand/usage to ensure those prices stay high. The classic example being Whip and barrow items, as well as Fury. When the supply is low and demand high, naturally there will be ppl who are willing to pay very high amounts for them, but as long as they are not discontinued, there will always be more into the game (like Chains and other things). There will at one point where supply surpasses demand, and this will DEFINITELY lead to downward slide of the prices of those items. Take for example Whip. When everyone in the game has a whip, would there be any demand for whips? not unless you pk, and that is a minority population, hence it will lead to deflation of the whip's price. Pee hats on the otherhand is Discontinued, and its amount will ALWAYS go down, hence there is a reason why ppl are willing to pay so much for one.

Construction guide isnt actually necessary because the way to level it is build, destroy, build, destroy, repeat, etc. The only guides out there in the air is basically tell you how to do this and what of stuff you can make. Check out the Tip's construction guide if you want more details. But i'll break a few things down for you : fun & looks only and Pratical parts: Fun & Looks only Combat Room Kitchen (The larder in this room is used for levelling until level 78, where oak doors in the Dungeon are used afterwards) Dining Hall Throne room Obliquette Dungeon Treasure Room Games Room Both gardens Quest hall (one exception is the Hero's Guild Symbol, where a glory amulet is used and it provides infinite Glory Amulet Teleports) Skill Hall Bedroom Practical Rooms Chapel Portal Room Costume Room Workshop

just how much money are you talking about? just beeing curiuos... Millions usually, several hundred k at a time for sure.

I am strange, the first thing i would use PC for is to fill up my house's armor case with them. I have NEVER actually gotten XP for PC yet (i probably will though because i need 94 mage :P) Thats another 600 points i need (probably gonna spend another 250 to bank mark my Mace)

When i was doing Troll Stronghold quest, i was only like 3 days into Members, didnt turn on prayer and died to a troll general. Lost Obby shield, obby cape and Glory. Had about 4m worth of stuff in bank anyway so i didnt really care. Still it remains my heaviest lost so far (over 1m). I havent lost anything beyond a few hundred k at a time after that.

Getting some soft clay wouldnt go amiss either, some features need soft clay

Yes, but knives are twice as fast as a crossbow so it balances it out.

There are ranged Firebreath and they are still considered mage attack. In fact Magic Attacks are very often missile attacks too (only a few none ranged attacks are actually fully mage based, firebreath being one of them)

However you WILL gain defence xp after slaying the dragon

Yes, your equip degrades according to combat time, not attack/getting hit time, so safe spotting will degrade the armor pieces

Its a beer, not a pot. You need to make it with 4 chocolate dusts when you are brewing a beer. The tip's cooking guide has on how you can make it.

4) Mith knives definitely, addy bolts are slo (because cross bows are slow)

take the ladder down, you really cant miss it, in the centre.

NEVER buy them from other players, they are heavily inflated. If you have 82 rc, crafting them is absolutely the best way. If you dont, world hop shop at Baba Yaga, buy down to a stock of 150'ish (thats from 50 gp at full stock of 250 to about 100 ea at 150)

1) Yes 2) If you farm your herbs, P Pots and Super Restore are good. Otherwise profit is extremely hard, even if you buy the herbs yourself. 3) Not possible, cannon is supposed to drain money for faster ranged xp. Cannon dont work in pk because the cannon wont fire at other players.

Green, Blue, Red and Black Dragon's Fire Breath do not have a range, they are only employed when they are melee'ing you, so Ranging them from a safespot will be safe enough. However, KBD and Metal dragon's have a ranged fire breath, making them completely unsafe-spottable. Shields and Pot must be used in these cases.

Scenario : You are in CW, and you have the capability of Burst/Barrage anything in sight. Consider the following : 9 lv 10's stand in a 3x3 square and all of them are standing on different places in that square (which will fill the square). You cast Burst/Barrage on the middle one with a Party Hat on, and you hit everybody in that 3x3. Now here comes questions: 1. If not all of them are standing on different sqaures (still only 9 in a 3x3 sqaure, but some are standing over each other), and you cast barrage in the middle of that square, will you hit everybody? 2. If instead of 9 in a 3x3 square, you have 900 in that square (100 people per sqaure), will you hit everybody in that 3x3? if not, who will you hit (perhaps the person on top of the the stacks?) Thanks ~chenw

But you cant wield a shield over Verac's Flail, so as a single hand weapon, D Mace wins.

The treasure trail section of the tip's main site has details where you get them from (Under Coordinate clues section). Just make sure you DONT start Observatory quest if you havent started or else you'll have to finish it.
