its a ranging ring, much like a throwing knive except looks like a ring. Price i am not sure.

and precisely used to deceive people because most ancient mages wield ancient staff. it gets them really confused if they see a fire wave coming their way (sure, it doesnt do as much damage as the corresponding ancient spell, but good for a bit of laugh)

Man, I was hoping the opposite. More tips being made = less glories being made = higher prices. Go figure that they make them loads easier to acquire. Increase in supply of Dragonstones causes Manufacture of Glory to decrease due to increased production rate in Bolt Tips??? This so doesnt make sense. It sounds like Increase in trout fishing causes whole trouts to increase in price due to increased production in trout cans :-s 5 loops and counting. I think the gnomes are telling me something... I thought that it was obvious that we were both referring to the crossbow update...? Either I am an idiot, or I didnt think before i typed (hang on, isnt that the same thing anyway? :P). I thought you were referring to the effects of this update on the previous one (the effect of gnome minigame on the Bolts) :wall: On topic: Seems to be good source of Toadflax as well.

That's the same as holding a Mud Staff to cast Ice Barrage, therefore I do not think it is. And who says Ancient Staff wielders must be on Ancient. For all intents and purposes I am usually OFF ancients when I hold my Ancient staff. I am only on ancients when I am in CW and even then I use a whip instead of Ancient Staff.

to be even more ironic, the Crystal bow's speed was improved once, and that was when Barrows was introduced (back in May 2005]/b]) maybe people misread the year? :-k

that was what i was thinking. the speed didnt actually increase 1 iota. where did this rumor come from?

from what i heard the speed update, if any, was today

there is a bug with toad crunchies, it is supposed to be drunk dragon when the aluft junior tells you its toad crunchies...

dagganoths under the lighthouse seems very good. Multi and closely packed.

the unorthodox way will do, though i do suggest brutals because your max hit will 3 otherwise (i tried it, and god it was painful)

Thats probably because you never went far enough in the abyss. The passage is ALWAYS ALWAYS on the opposite end of the abyss from where you are spawned when you enter it. Try it

the main uses of fishing potion is to either get into fishing guild without have 68 fishing or fishing sharks faster as a lower level. Other than that it has no practical use due to the slow nature of fishing.

Defender is a Shield that looks like, has a stat set closer to that of a sword, but it is still a shield for most intents and purposes. It is non-tradable and can only be obtained in the warriors guild I suggest getting at least 10 rune defenders while you are there so you can afford to lose a few to pkers and the likes.

A good strategy is go to the abyss plane via the fairy rings, and stand beside a leech spawn, kill it repeatedly. All other monsters are not worth the kill, because i found their drops to be very similar. leech is very easy 10hp kill

Tell me, how do you make a bow or crossbow out of a rock? Rocks generally don't flex that well. and metals that are stronger then steel do? this is runescape :P all logic is out of the window :) Stronger yes, but its also more flexible than rock, try bending a thing piece of rock and it will break. Try bending a piece steel and it will bend, hence steel can be used to make crossbows, where as it is nearly impossible with rock.

Should I use Mith, Addy or Rune armor to obtain the tokens most efficiently? stats are in my sig, i have the access to Verac's and Guthan's Set (not Dharok, and I wont use it either because its too risky for my liking, not to mention it being to slow).

its not because he hits through prayer, its because his attack is both melee and magic, and so cant be fully protected.

To add: 1. 75k a day will only be dished out if you have over 750k in the coffers. It either gives 75k or 10% of the coffers (whichever is lower), so 750k + 75k*number of days is what you should have in coffer. 3) it is better if you let is stack for a few days because bonus items are rewarded every hundred item (or thereabouts) you get. If you let it stack you have will get more bonus items. Why? Consider you get 150 maples a day, and you get 1 nest per 100 maples. If you just collect it in one day, you get 1 nest, because there is only 1 100 in there. but if you let it stack for 2 days, you will get 300 maples, and that is 3 nests, because there are 3 100's in there.

food is needed, period. Verac can hit through prayer and can either own you or completely so not hit you. be careful of him

barrowing drops heaps of bloods too (provided you have a kill count of 10 or thereabouts)

however prayer remains to be one of the most expensive skill to train.

Is it at 94 or 95 cooking that you stop burning sharks with Cooking Gaunts? (and is that cooking on a fire, a range or Lumby's Super Range?) Also if anyone knows when do one stop burning monkfish without gaunts, that would be great (i dont think gaunts work)

that would be indeed correct also you keep every page you put into the book when you retrive them (so if you die with a full book, you get a full book back)

Best place to use them is at Daggy's place below the light house, it tears right through them. 1k Balls there is about 30k xp, so about 150k xp total.
