Small question about Mourning Ends pt. 2
You will need to have the gem with you when you get into the death altar. Once you get in there, DO NOT FORGET to use the enchanted crystal on the black crystal.

Am I ready for Barrows?
However, I feel you need to know this: 1. Kill count does not affect item rate, if it does, it LOWERS it. 2. You CANNOT get any blood runes unless your kill count is 8 or more, and Bolt racks unless its 9 or more. 3. Killing multiple copies of the brother doesnt work to increase rewards, only thing matters is that you killed the brother. 4. Bolt racks drop is worth less than a death rune drop. 5. The above statistics say that if one of the brothers decided to drop mind runes into the chest, it would be around 300, though you can have multiple brothers dropping minds in the same run, or have none (my record is 1100+ in one run).

Charge to 99 Magic?
Buy all runes and pc with your best multi target ancient spell, spend all points you acquire on magic I agree with that one if money isnt an issue AT ALL (like you can afford to spend millions on the runes). If you would like money back after you spent them tho, you can try using mage arena, may as well get some clothes while you are at it.

The Abyss
Abyss is faster than anything at any level bar lv 30-. though you might need food and have encounters with pkers, anything is fastest with the abyss (except Fires, bodies, astrals and laws)

Third Age Range Set stronger or Black Dhide Set stronger?
You mean 1/1000? Well 3a hides has better mage defence bonus than Black Hides (not as good as karils AFAIK), other than requiring 5 less ranged levels to wear and such. And yes, the coif is best ranged atk bonus out there, but only better than robin by 1 and archer helm by 3

Your first dragon drop
If you count D med from barrows as a drop, then there it is... But if you are counting only the red stuff you get from the ground after killing a monster, then D Chain from dust devils after less than 500 total killed in the career, but havent gotten any other D chains since (only shared one) 2 D2h's from KQ (both are my drop) and 1 Left half from Bloodveld

Barrows "We'll finish this later"
From your description, you have either: 1. Took to long to kill them, so they got bored and 'will finish this later'. 2. The second you landed a blow that would kill him, the brother has healed (either by natural healing or by Guthan's effect), but even if his hp wasnt 0 after the splash, he still will die and leave that message. Either way it serves no purpose

Barrows (MOD MOVE TO HELP AND ADVICE)
Dont forget to mix and match the set parts for maximum performance if you are not after set effects. Personally my favourite set of all time is Verac's set. Not for its set effect, but for his Skirt and Helm, both have the same melee def as torag's counterpart, no mage def penalty and substantial prayer bonus.

Lunar Teleports
actually there is another difference in lunar spell. instead of dissappearing with the sphere, you actually rise into the air and vanish that way. Telegroup is the same except for the sound

MEP2 without a guide - did you dare to take the challange
For the record, Coloured wheel tells you what colours combine to give you white light. Pick 1 colour and its direct opposite, those 2 add to give white. Colour wheel exist in real life, and the pair of colours that yields white light are called complementary colours. I use guides for quests if they were released before i got around to doing them. So I used a guide for this one, it would take me several days and a lot more resources at least, taking probably the first day to figure out what do actually do.

New combat skill?
That is negative, Defence lowers the opponent's ATTACK, not strength (it lowers their accuracy, but not their max hit) Although it could be introduced into a combat skill called Endurance. The skill also has the benefit of Resisting secondary effects of other attacks, such set Special Effects (Karil and Ahrim as example), Weapon Special attack effects (D Spear, D axe to name but a few), Poison effects, Disease effects, Spell Side effects (freezing time, stat lowering) and overall damage reduction. The exact mechanism of this resistance can be either reduction in chance of applying the effect, reducing the strength of the effect (poison damage, freeze length, etc) or both. Of course mage might be upset if this was applied as they would lose their advantage, but it could be compensated in that higher mage levels help pierce endurance. Endurance could also help people survive hostile terrains such as desert and other things.

Melee barrows?
Karil and Ahrim, i would start at about 80atk and str with super set Other melee brothers i would only verac them and i would only start at 85+ atk and 80+ str. (Str doesnt really matter in barrows, cuz you are not there for xp)
-
dragon chain mail >.>
unless you are merchanting the chain, i wouldnt consider the loss of value of d chain as a 'loss'. its entirely up to you whether or not you want to sell it. I would only sell mine if I needed cash to skill, not to save my cash from further losses
-
Keris or Whip
he isnt talking about KQ... Try both and see which works best for you. I personally would use keris, because whip + mask has pratically the same effect, but keris has the special (albeit rare, anything is better than nothing)

Good time to purchase dragon armors..?
If you want to get a barrows top, Guthan plate seems to be the cheapest atm, about 550k atm (Torag, Guthan and Dharok plates are perfectly identical in stats). Legging either Torags/Dharoks legs (again, identical) or Verac's Skirt if you can take the look (Same melee def stats as the other 2 legs, no mage def penalty, only slightly less ranged def and +4 prayer bonus, and being one of the cheapest legging. they used to be the cheapest by about 200k) Helm: do Fremenik Isles quest, the helm has better stats than berzerker, substantial prayer bonus and is cheaper to replace. Weapon: Whip Shield: Rune Defender all the way, but if you want, keep an obby shield around for ranged foes. Gloves: FINISH recipe of Disaster and you will unlock the barrow gloves. The best gloves by a LONG shot Boots: Rune boots or climbing vs ranged foes. Rune boots has no ranged def so no point in risking 200k. climbing boots are like 12 gp or something Ring: Berserker Amulet: Fury is the best, keep glories and salves around tho (latter owns undead) cape: Either finish all quests for easy 99k obby cape or finish legends for 625gp slightly worse than obby cape cape.

Quickest 99 to obtain?
well in theory, fletching can be very quick, but VERY expensive. Buy a load of rune arrow heads and head less arrows and fletch the arrows. 225 xp per double click, and you dont have to bank. though... if you buy rune bars at 12k ea and headless at 25ea... that costs 825 per arrows, and you can only sell for about 400ea, so about 425 gp per 15xp. or 39 gp per xp ^_^;;

Why is untrimmed slayer cape rare?
but it will be quite literally the only cape out there thats almost purely black, less trimmed hunter cape. of all capes, 99 slayer untrimmed cape is the hardest by a long shot, because you cant pest control it, you cant get another 99 (which you have to deliberately do)
-
Quickest 99 to obtain?
firemaking is unafkable, hence its only 2.1k 99 cape holders. Fletching is half afk'able and yields good income, thus a lot more ppl have fletching 99 than fm. If you burn yews from about 60 to 99 tho, it takes about 60 something hours of dedicated burning

Can't seem to kill damis(desert treasure)
I maged him with earth blast, worked fine for me. Get your prayer up higher so you dont have to drink as often
-
Why is untrimmed slayer cape rare?
Negative on that one, most of the quests that yields those sort of lamps require some combat requirement to finish the quest (for example RFD). Also they have a condition that the skill itself must be over 50 in order to benefit from it.
