Thanks Ice and Spec for the herbages! They got me 48 Herblore.

dont 3x post That's pretty much saying "Don't accidentally trip over your feet." Eh.. he didn't do it on purpose. But anyways I'm glad that Jagex introduced a new, high level requirement quest. :)

From what I know about this "wheel selection" method, that should have happened. Wearing the RoW made you pick on the rare wheel, which probably didn't have fire runes on it. Thus, you get less fire runes. And when it did pick on the rare wheel, it probably just didn't hit anything special, so all it dropped was ashes. Upon taking it off, you increased your chances of picking off the "common" wheel (reset the chances, rather) and you got more fire runes. I don't know about the Rune Meds though.

Trip #2 done, and ~20k experience left until 74 Ranged. :) I'm well on the way. Thanks for the good ol' chats, Blogscape. Keep 'em coming!

OMG You spammed! No pic, no proof. :shame: "Lulz 2 unsp4m ze p0ast:" I wub Hunter.

That's what's gonna make this pure profit for me pretty much. That's 10 Ranarrs alone, not to mention all those other above Ranarr ^.^ Took about 2k bolts to get that inventory.

Omg you're so spicy!

Mmm.. mith bolts. I about 2k of them from Chaos Druids, and another 1k from superheating/smithing mith bars that I mined. ^.^ Good luck!

If I may use an analogy, the RoW could be compared to the Fountain of Youth. Humans created the idea of a Fountain of Youth to have something to hope and search for, in essence. Now, Jagex may have had the same motives in mind when they created the RoW. They just wanted to give you something that lets your mind wander, to make you think that you may get something more easily with the ring on. Not saying that they would, but that's the only logical counter-example I could think of. I, for one, am convinced that it works.

Thanks all! Got this before I logged out last night: v

Why use this method? Well, with the recent shop update, the method of using bone bolts has become a more viable option. I tested it, and here were the results: Bone Bolts at Mage Guild Zombies (+113 Range Bonus w/ 71 Range) 5,532 exp / 10 min 238 bolts / 10 min 23.23 exp / 1 bolt 33,192 exp / 60 min 1,428 bolts/ 60 min 5,712 gp / 60 min 5.81 exp / 1 gp That looks like pretty good stuff! It's cheap and super-effective. I like the zombies because I don't have to worry about safespots. Plus, using tele-grab to pick up any herbs above Ranarr will cut me a profit out of this whole thing. From 73-80 Range, I'll need about 43k bone bolts, according to my calculations. I like nice, pretty numbers, so I rounded to 45k. So, 45,000 bolts at 4 gold a piece totals 180,000 gold for a little over 1 million experience points. That's pretty sweet!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooes. No rating can suffice. We love you!

Just made my first complete cycle with this method. Made a cool 260k off of 1k Ruby Bolts (e). :) Working on my second batch.

Oh.. forgot to mention that I'm ranging at Bloodvelds. :)

Yea I thought about that just as I was loading this page. :XD: 71 Range though.

:shock: Nice amount of bone bolts. That's what I'm doing, just not to that extent. I bought 10k bolts to start off with and I'll see where I get with those. Have fun using 'em all up! May I ask where you plan to do so? *EDIT* Typo... pfft.

My test: Method: Bone Crossbow and Bone Bolts at Bloodvelds Timeframe : 30 minutes Range Level : 71 Start Experience: 839,052 Final Experience: 855,468 Total Exp Gained: 16,416 Start Bolts : 10,000 Final Bolts : 9,353 Bolts Fired : 647 Bolts Retrieved : 477 Break Rate : 26.28% Cost per Bolt : 4gp Cost/Bolts Fired: 2,588gp Cost/Retrieved : 1,908gp Total Cost : 680gp/30min Timeframe: 60 Minutes Total Exp Gained: 32,832 Total Cost : 1360gp/hr

Nice guide, but it's in the wrong forum. If I had the initial capital, I would start doing this right away.. but alas, I don't. :(

So I just bought a Bone C'bow and 10k bone bolts and I'm going ranging at Bloodvelds in the Slayer Tower. I'll do some calculations while I'm there, if you want.

...You're saying that you didn't know that ctrl + click made you run?... :-s Well it does. Nevertheless, this is a great idea! I support.

It's almost as if people just don't read that really BIG, LONG, DETAILED post that Drum made.. you know.. the one that said he's NOT getting an untrimmed cape! I can almost swear that people keep reposting the same technique of cannoning your last few levels. But no.. it couldn't be.. already suggested? Already turned down?! Lol.. :) Have fun getting 99 regardless. To do it with just one maxed melee stat is a great achievement as well. Or, achieving it with barely having maxed melees. Most people you see have millions more experience than they need for 99 in at least one melee stat. DRUM IS FTW!

Just a little experiment I conducted. Small, maybe not the most rounded numbers because I did so few. But gives you a rough estimate. I didn't factor in time though.. my bad.
