What to do...
I would probably do FoG, GOP, fm (maples would be best), or fish at barb village. If you did GOP, you could save the tokens for when you get p2p again and get altar tabs. You could get over 100k exp an hour if you craft bloods with tabs. Thats HUGE for rc.

made a skiller
If youre p2p, RC. Nuff said. Its going to take a while to get major profit, and will be tough as a lvl 3 skiller. If you can manage to get 57 summ, you would be set.

Quest cape
It is a completely unique cape. As stated, it isnt a 'skill' cape, its more an achievement cape. Its in its own class of skillcapes.

What should I do with 20 million gp
If it was me, I would probably spend that all on pure ess. Thats how i accumulated all my wealth. Also, stick in as much as you can in MTK. If you know how to flip, try that.

Opaque internet browser?
Seems like a neat idea, but not really worth it. If you have a decently sized screen, you could put rs on the left and tip it on the right. I dont know how your friend did it, though.

wcing for money
Doesnt the scroll of life only work when something dies? Cutting down a tree doesnt cause it to die, unless i dont really understand how it works. OT: the best way to make money through wcing is by cutting ivy, powerchopping teaks, or doing the sawmill thing. WC makes terrible money. The time you save by getting fast wc exp will allow you to make far more money in the same amount of time as if you were to cut mages/yews/eucs, etc.

Range Gear
I dont really think an ammy of ranging is worth the cost. I would far rather use a fury instead of having a ranged specific ammy. A fury is useful in whatever you do, so its worth it. If you have a low budget, an archer/nietznot/dhide coif paired with snakeskin boots are decent. Ranger boots and a robin hood hat are better, but MUCH more expensive. If you are fighting weak enemies, knives are a good weapon choice. They are fast and fairly accurate, if i remember correctly. If you are fighting stronger enemies, a rune cbow with broad bolts are great. In both cases, using an unholy book will be beneficial, along with an archer ring. You pretty much need an accumulator regardless of what youre doing. Other than that, enjoy :) PS: if you are using range for the sake of getting it higher, you might consider chinning. Youll get far better exp/hour there. Its too early for you now, but when you get to 80-85 ranged, you should consider it.

Effigy Help
I havent had one myself, but i would likely try clicking it. If you have the skills to do it, then it will do it (whatever it is). If you dont have the skills, it will probably give you a message saying you need <skill and level>. At that point, you run around asking people if they can assist you, or check the official effigy sticky on the RSOF (quickfind code: 75-76-743-61141315), or both.

Claws
Prayer would drain it all getting to 80. You might get to 85 herb with it. Summ is completely dependent upon your method. It depends on whether you have the gear or charms. If you dont have the gear, kiss goodbye 20m of it (battle robes and SOL). Having said that, i would rather have the cash than claws. Let me put it this way, I dont have claws and i am doing pretty well for myself. Granted, i dont boss hunt at all, so my opinion is a skillers opinion.

Ive Crafted a Rune or two.
I am pleased! Good luck :) You wont regret it.

Ive Crafted a Rune or two.
Thanks :) I made somewhere near 350m, I think. Its tentative due to the fact that I spent a lot of it (200m) on herblore and various other items and skills. Definitely made a lot though :)

Can i do deserts treasure
You could definitely do it.

Ive Crafted a Rune or two.
So after tons of work, I have finally managed my first 99. I'm fairly happy about it :) I did it entirely through graahking, except for the last 30k in which I did ZMI. The profits were huge, and I am wearing the first untrimmed RC cape I have ever seen. Feel free to rate my stats along with this achievement. Enjoy :) I am the 3948th person to 99 RC :)

rcing from lvl 63
I havent crafted a single blood OR death rune before, so I am not speaking from personal experience. As long as you craft astrals between 82 and 91, then do double nats to 99, you are doing just fine rcing :P

Making an Effigy Volunteer Spreadsheet
I would be willing to offer what I can. I have high RC and herblore. Once i get 99 rc next week, ill be getting the rest of my skills up, which should take next to no time compared to rc.

Torso help
A dfs doesnt seem worth it to me, but then again, im more of a skiller. I have yet to go to GWD, but i imagine that with a BSS and a uni, you could tank the damage fairly well without the risk and cost of a DFS. If i had to choose between a DFS and a BCP + other stuff, i would take option 2 no questions asked. The DFS looks pretty dope though, ill give it that. I would say keep it if it didnt destroy your cashpile (which it sounds like it does). You should give it a test drive, and compare it with a rune defender. Dont take our word for it, try it for yourself! In the end, its what you want anyways.

rcing from lvl 63
Abyssing deaths is slower than zmi, but faster than graahking, unless you get a tremendous amount of abyss fails. Wasn't sure which you were referring to. I was comparing abyss deaths with graahking. I am fairly certain graahks are faster exp, but less profit. Whether i am right or not is insignificant, seeing as getting to 82 (no choice of what to craft really - astrals) is very insignificant in the long run. Once you get past that milestone, time vs. cost efficiency really comes into play. ZMI is the fastest exp, whereas abyss deaths will be most profitable until 77, then bloods would be most profitable until 82. Double astrals till double nats and you will be making as much money as possible. I find graahking more relaxing, so i would do that until 82 and after 91. As for the method of ZMI, use ourania teleport, fire runes to bank, range prayer while running the gauntlet, and all 4 pouches if using a familiar. I highly suggest it. You can get 3 FULL inventory loads of ess when using all pouches and a familiar. Having a full bank is essential. If you are having trouble with that, go to your POH and pull out every book that you can from your bookshelf. With a quest cape, i figure you have enough books to fill your bank up at least once lol.

85-99 Magic
I would have suggested superheating a 3 weeks ago, but it seems that any reasonable gp/exp has been shot down, compared to what it used to be. You can get about 110k exp an hour at the cost of about 250-300k per hour doing iron. Its reasonably fast, but lots of clicking. I dont know a thing about stringing jewellery, but if its even close in cost, i would do it due to the reduced amount of clicking. Both of those are limited to only mage exp. I would prefer to barrage rock lobbs for exp. Its fast, albeit expensive exp, but serves a dual purpose. You get tons of mage exp, const exp, and crimsons for your summoning desires. Its expensive, but the costs are reduced by half if you have a sol and a set of battle robes.

rcing from lvl 63
Well, the way that I would do it, if I hadn't already gotten 75+ rc 3 years ago, would be by graahking nats to 82, then double astrals to 91, then graahk to 99. Dont quote me on this, because i havent used the abyss in 3 years, but i think graahking would give you better cash/exp than abyss rcing. Once you hit 65, deaths would probably be more profitable, at the cost of exp. I value rc experience above cash any day, so graahking is what i would do. If you couldnt care less about profit, do ZMI, no question. Youll lose money, but get double the exp (or more) than you would graahking. Based on a calculation i did a while ago, if you make less than 1.5m an hour, your time is better spent graahking than ZMI. This assumes you plan on rcing A LOT. I havent done any ZMI for all of my leveling, so it can be done. Good luck :)

Spicy Stews
I stewed 2.2k overloads, and there is definitely a technique to it. The best way to do it, i found, was to use swiftkit, and figure out when the boost was going to happen. I drank a dose of attack pot, then started the timer (in the swift kit client) as soon as the boost dropped. That was the starting point. Once i established the time, i started working on stews. Drink stews and super restores until you get your required boost, then be sure to keep an eye on the timer. Log out when the timer hits about 58 seconds, then immediately log back in. The delays will make it work out just fine. When you do it fast, you can get about 12 overloads per minute, sometimes 8 and the stuff for the next one ready to go. I never used a tort, and highly doubt its worth the effort. Stews are great, but i wouldnt bother stewing anything other than overloads, especially if you plan on getting high herblore anyways.

Level 91 Runecrafting
Nice work! Rcing is definitely worth the time. 91 is arguably the biggest non-combat milestone in the game, apart from 99 rc. Good luck on getting 99! I am 2 weeks or less away from it myself :)

Farming herbs for herblore
So.. .wait.. are you guys able to plant and harvest snapdragon every 4.5 minutes?.............. Plz check your calculation. Hes referring to a per hour of work calculation. Yes, we all know that herbs take about 90 minutes to grow, but take about 5 minutes to collect. As for the original topic, i would suggest making as much cash with farming as you can, and then pay for the supplies of a more gp/xp or time efficient method of training herblore.

Hand Cannon
I would say you should shoot for 92 fm. If you are going to get 90 fm to handcannon, you might as well get 92 for the adze. Its a very cheap skill and is incredibly fast. If you use maples, fm ring/gloves, you can reach like 165k exp an hour with maples. Granted, fming is dull, but getting it high has its uses. The adze is a big one for me. Free d-hatchet that burns some of your logs. Perfect for powerchopping.

Herblore
I was in the same position a mere 3 weeks ago. I found a solution that I am extremely satisfied with, now that I myself am 96 herblore. I will walk you through exactly how i did You should make spec restores until 88 herblore. They are very fast and relatively cheap exp. Once you hit 88, you will eat, sleep and breathe extremes. Buy the supplies for 2.2k of each extreme potion, and ~600 extra extreme attack and str pots (for things you dont want overloads for). Also buy 2.2k tortstols. You should be looking at spending about 170-180m if you do it this way, and you will leave yourself with enough pots for the rest of your rs career. Make 2.2k of each extreme pot as you achieve the level to make them. ie: make 2.2k extreme attacks, then 2.2k extreme strength, etc. The reason you want 2.2k is because thats approximately how many it takes to level from one pot to the next. By the time you finish all your pots, you will be 92, somewhat near 93. You could either start making overloads, or do the final 600 of extreme attack/strengths. I would make them first. The higher your herblore level before you stew will make getting the appropriate boost easier. You will then stew 2.2k overloads. By doing this, you will get very fast exp while also providing you with all the overloads you would ever want. Once you finish all of this, you should be 96 herblore, or very close to it. I believe i was a mere 150k exp away from 96 when i finished, so i just made some spec restores to finish off the level. This method is expensive initially, but in the long run, it is cheaper. If you consider making tradable pots, i think its a mistake. Tradables will cost less initially, but then you will be left with high herblore and no extremes/overloads. A hypothetical situation of this could be you finishing getting 96 herblore, but then realising you want to boss hunt a lot. Well, looks like you need to make a lot of overloads/extremes. You could very well level to 99 and beyond in making the pots to boss hunt, which leads to wasted money. For herblore, anything beyond 13m exp is wasteful and unnecessary (unless you are zarfot, of course.) Whichever you choose, good luck. You wont regret 96 herblore :)
