If your team is large enough, that should be substantial. I am constantly told that 90+ range 90+ defence and 90+ HP are among the more effective stats to have for Gwd'ing Armadyl. However, I am never told the sizes of the teams for these stats, and have no personal Armadyl experience to aid in my suggestions. Nonetheless, good luck. :

You mine it in the same fashion, but with a high mage defence bonus. The reventants aren't as strong as some state them to be, but can be a nuisance. I have been told the mining is easier now, which is not good, since the ores are mined around the clock. Good luck.

Any black mask, regardless of charges gives a 15% attack & strength bonus versus slayer tasks. As explained, the charges randomly lower a monsters defence. What is not commonly known is that these charges only degenerate when you take a certain amount of damage. I can't remember the exact amount.. but I believe it is between 200 and 500 damage per charge. So, an intelligent method of putting a charged black mask to use is to use it on tasks that you would either not take damage on, or that you would pray against to avoid damage. I find that they are very effective versus metal dragon tasks that I would melee pray against. As far as I know, you do not need to junk trade in order to attain these items, unless of course they are on a huge rise at the time, in which case no one would sell anyways. Cave Horrors drop these masks quite often in my opinion, and can be killed with the appropriate slayer level, and equipment. The drop rate for myself is 1 mask per 150 Cave Horrors. Other people may not have as great of luck, just as my dragon drop rate for metals is 1 in 6000+. :| Definitely put this mask to use on slayer tasks that you will melee with. Have fun. :

Well, it depends if you would like to amass these items by buying them, or from training skills. If you want to train skills I suggest willow/maple longbow (u) from fletching, addy/rune jav drops form dragons, other various drops that won't sell at med price, pouches/scrolls from summoning, etc.. If you want to buy items, I can only really think of seed dibbers, plant pots (filled), and baskets from Farming Shops. I think it is most wise just to get your junk from training skills, and be able to get rid of items that you otherwise wouldn't be able to. That is generally the idea of junk trading.. to get rid of hard to sell junk. Buying items and selling them is not only a waste of time, but it is what causes a lot of people to whine about junk trading, along with a mixture of jealousy in most cases.

My body is my sanctuary, and I am the keeper of it.

It should be an option to have your username credited for suggestions. You have to realize, that on one hand players would like the support that is offered when they suggest a great update, but that they may not like the banter and rants if they suggest a poor one.

I believe it was selling big bones from Hill Giants for my first 2M, and a santa hat within my first month of playing. After that I sold it, merchanted pure ess, and was too late to grab onto any rares when they hit their big rise from a few mill to 10x the price after a certain someone was banned. After about 8 months I caught up to the prices, and started merchanting the rares once more, along with mining 20k+ coal and some other high level ores. I logged out one day while merchanting santas, and logged in to find them gone and my friend list deleted (never let your brother use your computer). After that I got members, and worked up to where I am at now. A bit more of a story than my first 1M, but I'm in a typing mood. :

I would say take as many as needed, as the refills are advertised as free. I generally takes me 3 refills of a beverage, but at the places I eat, the waitresses are always scouting around looking for cups to refill, so I usually end up having a full glass by the time I'm sick of the beverage.

Well, seeing as I don't get caught a lot, there are only two events that I was actually caught for and that stand out in my poor memory. One of these events was back in Grade 8, our class used to go on over-night camping trips in the mountains. Long story short, my friend and I were invited into the tent of a few girls, some events took place and in the morning we were found out about. The second was in grade 11 when a certain girl and I had some fun in the gymnasium equipment storage room during the time that the gym did not have a class in it. We were actually gold until we left the storage room and were seen by the gym teacher who was oddly in the gym alone marking some papers. There have been things that I would label as worse, and might make a good basis for a book someday, but the thread isn't what is the worst thing you've done and were never caught for, so that is for another time and place. Just for purposes of information, I went to a country school that was combined with another school for a grand total of about 200 senior students, 26 of which made up my class throughout the years. This is what most would consider to be a small, almost non-existant school, but I will remember it forever.

Well, it is great, seeing as they can't fix the withdraw & bank movement problem. I however miss the old bank as well. I'm not complaining, just stating my feelings on the issue. Hopefully there won't be another fleet of people trying to raise their post count by writing in "wow, a record for a complaint", or "+1", etc.. Ford may have voiced his concern with the update a bit strongly, and put his detest in the wrong forum, but nonetheless he is trying to voice his concern, and just did it in the wrong area.

My homepage is Google as well. :

I would suggest one of the following. 1) Tele-grabbing Wines of Zamorak - I did not do this myself, but I feel that if you wanted to train magic, then you could profitably train it on F2P by tele-grabbing the wines, banking them, and later selling them on the Grand Exchange. 2) Cutting Yew Logs - It does not take a long time to get 60+ woodcutting if you cut the willows in Draynor Village until such a level. Once you are able to cut yews, they sell for over 400gp each, which is a reasonable amount considering the time it takes to get an inventory full of them. Not bad if you're strapped for cash and don't like a ton of clicking on F2P. However, I would suggest getting 70+ woodcutting on willows before attempting yews for profit. The time set aside to train it faster pays off in the long run. 3) Hill Giants - This has to be my favourite method of making money on F2P. Simply kill Hill Giants and bank their big bones and limpwurt roots for a reasonable amount of gain. The only problem with this is that the area for Hill Giants is often full, and this could result in a slower money gain. I however, made over 7M with this method getting 70 range on a pure account that I made for fun. Sadly, it is not something I practiced with this account in my 1 year+ of F2P before becoming a member. 4) Fist of Guthix (Mini-game) - I am not too knowledgable on the profits you can make playing FOG, but I hear that they are worthy of the time. However, you would require decent combat stats in order to win the majority of the time, making it worthwhile. The only time I used FOG for quick-cash was in the first few days of its release when Rune Gauntlets were around 200k each, and took a very short time to get the tokens for. This, however, may be considered the most fun way of making a nice profit on F2P. I hope some of these suggestions helped. There are other skills you could focus on for cash, such as mining, smithing, etc.. but there are so many of these topics that I become annoyed when listing everything. I'm sure if you use the "search" option, some informative results will turn up. : Have fun, and good luck.

Nice story and pictures to go with it. The method of removing weeds in our garden is to just take the disk-all that we use for breaking land through it. Although, that would only be an option for a large garden. I should post pictures of mine, or of some of the crops that we've planted over acres and acres of land. Anyways, nice pictures. It's always great to see someone else who is a bit of a horticulturist. Organic food is to die for. :

It would be great if you could replace the picture of me welding with this picture. Thanks. :D http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4536/picture00941st0.jpg

I'd say that the greens are ok for cash, provided you can stay entertained while killing them. If you get 90+ range I would advise switching to the black dragons in the Evil Chicken lair, though. That way you would have a chance at a visage along with some decent cash from hides/bones. The blue dragons however, are not very viable due to how crowded it becomes at peak times in the day. Hope you don't have to use Quick Chat forever Wallet. :(

Here's two more pictures. It's been a while since I posted any, and dial-up isn't the greatest for uploading much of anything... I'm now 18 years old by the way.

I would definitely play just as happily if not more without Summoning.

I'll take a guess that you meant 200 thousand? As for your friend. Get the hacker to admit that he did it and report him for that. Your friend can then use his recoveries, IP, or payment information (If he is/was a member) to hopefully get his account back. Good luck.

Yep, advertising this will only get it removed faster. Enjoy it while it lasts, I suppose. :roll:

You did a great job, and led us well. Thanks. :

Well.. personally I think slayer is great, unless you aren't using a black mask. Other possibilities include: - Undead, such as Ankou with a Salve or Salve (e) amulet. - Moss Giants, most drops stack, or alch for profit. - Fire Giants, decent drops, and great xp. - Barrows trips, this could be a profitable option at 75+ stats - King Lathas Ogres, these are easy and safe range xp - Yaks, fast experience from what I hear. - Rock crabs, I think most low levels power-train here. - Monkey Guards, throw on the Dharoks, take anti-psn's. - Bandits, a decent use for guthans from what I hear. - Giant Spiders, a decent SoS monster to power-train on. - Flesh Crawlers, I hear these are good for power-training on (SoS). Well, I only have personally used the first few methods, but I've heard some good comments from the other options. Personally, I would stick with slayer and a black mask, or head to the fire giants. :

They made it like that so stupid people like you have something to ask. :wink: I REALLY like this guy's logic Agree :wink: Well, I disagree with the logic here, aside from the poster. What is the point in your reply unless you have something worth adding to the conversation. I know you want a higher post count, but that's not the way to reach it. : I would guess that it is a sword just because range had the Dark Bow. With a bow that can deal over 70 damage, a melee weapon that can deal over 70 damage was a nice counter. That is what I believe the reasoning may be. :

Interesting article. The figures, if accurate, really put things into perspective for me. I knew that there was a decent amount of gold being traded.. but I wasn't aware that is was $2.6M worth (2007 alone). :shock:

Head to either the Fishing Guild moss giants or the Moss Giant Island moss giants (West side of Brimhaven; around 10 agility to access). Both areas have safespots, and are single combat zones. The Fishing Guild ones are great if you can use the guild to bank, even though almost all giant drops are worthy to alch or are stackable. The Mossy Island giants are great because slices of cake spawn around the island, so there is no need to bring food. I would suggest taking the following in your inventory: - Fire Staff/Lava Staff - Nature Runes - Chisel - Teleport method (unless Fish Guild banking) The following are the items worth alching. I may have forgotten something, but on this computer I can't go to the main site and check their drops. - Mithril Sword - Black Square Shield - Mithril Spear I believe that the steel med helmet, and the magic battlestaff are unworth to high alch. Check the High Alchemy calculator along with the Bestiary to make sure I didn't leave anything out. As for the rest of the drops, they are mainly seeds, runes, and charms, which stack. This means that you can train at the Moss Giants for a relatively long period of time before banking. I would suggest an Msb with your choice of arrows, or knives/darts for ranging the giants. If unlike myself, you train your prayer, you can expect a nice amount of prayer xp with this monster. Have fun, and good luck with 70 range. It is worth the time spent. :

I would suggest finishing all the F2P quests, and to work on raising your stats while you can, before membership. It could be useful to cut some logs for fletching, or train your fishing for guild access. I would normally have many more suggestions, but I can't see your stats on this computer, so my ideas are limited.
