Absolute Best Mage Outfit for the purpose of Mage Attack Bonus Alone: Head : Ahrim's Hood (~400k) Cape : Any God cape (free) Neck : Amulet of Fury (~4.7m) Right Hand : Master Wand (~4m i believe) Body : Ahrim's Robetop (~800k) Left Hand : Mage Book (~5m i think) Gloves : Final unlocked Gloves from Recipe for Disaster, aka Barrow Gloves (130k) Boots : Infinity Boots (~800k) Ring : Seer's Ring (~1m i believe?)

Not quite possible, KQ has no problems in landing more than 3 30's in 3 attacks. And KQ's attack lands FAR faster than Jad's, making it impossible to change prayers (which is the KEY to defeating jad). Most ppl who solo kq takes 2 trips. 1 melee gear to knock her out of the scarab form, then bank, range to finish the second form.

they are, But thing is that Combat level is about the strength (the damage that the monster is capable landing on you, the defence, hp level and the accuracy), not really about the attack styles of the monster in question. Of course KQ only hits in the 30's, but Jad, being twice the combat level, can hit up to 90's. The catch here is the differences in their attack style, KQ attacks are rapid enough that you dont have time to change prayer, but Jad is pretty sluggish Other things must also be taken into account : Jad is fought after 62 waves of tough monsters, and can only be reached there by that method, but KQ is close to bank and has drops.

When I Barrow, i can do 16 trips in about 4 hours (without ever hitting the bank). When I am lucky, I make 12m a day, but i usualy walk away with over 500k profit after the end of 16 runs. Thats about 125k an hour for me, not much, but I do enjoy barrows very much so as long as it is income, i dont really mind

Or can you? :shame: No actually you can't. Knitting certainly uses 2 needles, cant be done with only 1.

By the way, super heating the ore will result in the message 'You are not sure what effect will it have.'

Barrowing 24/7 for me, i pratically made all my money on p2p BY barrows (perhaps some nats and Super Res farming, but its far far from the 7 spears) Otherwise Skilling for me, I hate not being able to utilize something i come across often or is currently sitting in bank (such as d stones or Black Hides).

Dont try cannoning in barrows if its your first time, because it was mentioned it is hard to reload safely. Oh and you cannot use Cannon down in the Tunnel. I have seen ppl with a Cannon, I timed it, it took me 2 brother kills on mage for him to cannon kill 1 brother. Yes you are very safe from the brothers but your runs are twice as low, and cannon balls are expensive.

Merchants.

barbarian outpost until say 45, then brimhaven until 48, then use ape atoll till 52 (you fail a lot, but still faster xp than anything you have open). After 52, use Wilderness until mid 60's, then head back to ape atoll until desired level (the highest pratical one is lv 81, the Taverly Dungeon [bleep]ed Blade Jump)

Wear Black Robes when paying in Cash. Bring Noted ess, Cash, 26 essences. Wear Black Robes and Air Tiara, go air altar, craft runes. Annouce open. They trade you 25 Essence, you pay 25 noted and 2k cash. Confirm trade, craft. Lather, rinse and repeat. It is better to keep PM chat off while doing this so you get 'tr4d3 m3h pl0x!' messages. Also you tend to get some runners asking are you crafting. A slight side effect but hey, its cheaper than World 66 laws.

Oh good. I presume this strategy involves keeping the same outfit equipped throughout hence the balancing of stats from different sets? Maybe mystic boots and gloves for the mage? I'm figuring spade, super restore (maybe 2), two ppots, MSB, runes, and the rest monkfish. Thanks for the help. I must see about sorting my house out with an altar and portals. Exactly. Now For the gloves, If you have RFD gloves better than addy, use it. They beat Mystic Gloves to death with it. Also keep your mystic Boots on all the time. You shouls still carry say a Black D hide on you though for the mage, so you kill him quicker. Change back to normal outfit after (i suggest praying on Ahrim if you just gonna carry black d body). Other than that Good Luck and Have fun :D

Train your Attack, it increasing Accuracy (if melee weapon), Ranged (if ranged) or magic (Magic attacks)

7 in 1200 runs :D

If I may shed a bit of light on this matter for you : 1. Your Stats are fine for Professional barrowing (Not praying 24/7 down in the crypts), though you could struggle a bit. What I DO Suggest though is that you wear barrow armor, but mix and match them. I'll tell you what I mean. Helm : Torags or Farseer. Torag's helm worth around 300k, and has same defence bonus as Guthan's Helm, which is over 50 in all of its melee defence (or thereabouts). Farseer helm is if you feel splash too much, and want to replace it with something else. Ahrim's Hood is a choice, but tad bit expensive for that purpose. Body : Any melee barrow armor : Torag, Dharok AND guthan provide exactly the same stats, and are priced very very similarly (1m a piece). another good choice would be Brassard, Inferior Melee defence but Good prayer bonus. Not recommended until you are comfortable with it. Legs : There is ONLY 1 choice here, and thats Verac's Skirt. It costs 400k max (making it cheapest melee armor piece next to torag's helm), has the same melee def as torag and dharok legs, and gives +4 prayer bonus. Perfect for barrowing. Looks might not be the best, but hey, barrowing is for the money right? (EDIT : This is assuming you will NOT be heaing down in the tunnels with Guthan set) Do not pray on Guthan or torag when maging in melee armor, only use food down there, they dont hit nearly as often as the other brothers. Use food to substitute. This should save you 2. Try ahrim without prayer to see if you are comfortable with it. If not, go back to praying. And lastly, the higher the prayer, the better. helps to save p pots and allows you save bank trips more.

1. Verac's Armor has 27 less Mage Penalty over Torag's armor, so you can quite confortably fit +15 mage bonus in there. 2. Prayer Bonus. Since you are gonna be praying against quite a few opponents anyway, why not wear something that would help you in that regard too? Verac is good. What satenza is true. Slayer Dart is indeed affected by Mage Bonus. In fact if you let your mage bonus fall below -15, you will definitely notice the splash against even the melee brothers.

to add to that jack, 1 more mage level and your darts hits 18 :shock: You would require higher melee stats to melee karil effective as previously mentioned, however 80 attack should be sufficient if you supre attack pot , incredible reflexes, 4 dds specials and finish with whip. Wear Melee armor against Verac, Torag and Guthan, so you dont hit as much. and dont worry, their mage is so bad that you can hit as well with +50 mage than -15.

Reminds me of Day Star in Blade Trinity. Would be awesome idea though

Its either all or nothing. Wear Full Melee armor, or full mage armor (i recommend the former STRONGLY, mage armor does next to nothing in barrows), because if you mix and match, you wont get enough of either. As Runescapefan said, Wear Melee armor (verac's armor is especially useful for this), and mage the brothers in melee armor. To further save money, do not use Blast or Wave spells, stick to either Darts or Fire Bolt with chaos guantlets. For the record, i use 1 Super attack, 1 super Restore and 1 prayer dose per chest loot.

10 or more, usually less than 20, depending on my guthan set

updated the drop log for 3rd of September. May this day happen again albeit very unlikely

not seemingly, it does give identical bonuses to defence as legs.

Not possible without greegrees in the first place. He lost them all.

and DO NOT pray on all brothers. Mage Torag and Guthan in melee armor (especially Guthan), otherwise you lose wayyy too much money on prayer pots. You should be making money every trip regardless of the chest rune drops.

i found that i end up wasting food because i have to eat to pick up the runes, so thats why i made them empty. If i were to fill those, they would be super energy pots, for running to barrows without walking.
