I have been runecrafting for whole my gameplay, and i think its a new thing. that is why it annoys me lol, but its just not that big deal... however there are some other changes that came after graphical update many people complain about...the more serious ones. hope they fix em :roll: Having trained to 44 Runecraft at least three years ago, I can confirm that this is nothing new. The bank has reverted to whatever you had open since the beginning of RS2 if I remember correctly.

As I recall, the lever *does* reset everything. Tell him to check his bank, he probably accidentally banked it.

Aw. Well, the thing about using the Chaos Tunnels is truth. I always fight them there, and there's really nothing else worth seeing in the smoky well.

I bet one of the graphic effects turn it off- try turning them off one at a time and see if one of them disables it.

The regeneration bracelet is worthless if you'd be using barrows gloves otherwise- those gloves are just too good. Sorry I assumed your sig was current, it says "106+ combat" and I responded accordingly :P. If you can use a bunyip and Guthan's, you should be totally set for black demons. Use super sets.

Don't do lobs. Do either fly fishing for quick exp or monkfish for slower exp and good money. Both ways are faster exp than lobsters by a long shot (you catch monks at about the same rate as lobs). If you haven't done the quest, the time spent doing it will be miniscule compared to how much time you'll throw away fishing lobsters compared to monks. If you aren't a member, I'd consider it. $5 a month for something you're planning on spending 9-11 hours a day on seems reasonable.

I'm going to say something that doesn't directly answer the question, but is still something to think about. If you ever plan on getting high level slayer, then train with slayer. Otherwise you'll max out before you're done slaying, and have to train slayer without getting any useful melee exp. This is sad.

They hit *pretty* hard, but it's not as if it's impossible to kill them without prayer. The main thing is most people like to camp for a long time. You won't be doing that if you're having to bank for more pies all the time.

If you're going to be using wild pies anyway, it might be good to try out using karils and food instead of prayer. You might find that the pies go quickly enough that you'd be leaving anyway, plus you'll actually get something out of the pies' healing. I'd bring about 1/3 pies and 2/3 monks and see how it works out.

In addition, I would argue that +2 ranged def is not worth it, especially since you can pay less and get 10 more crush def, in case you get hit by a 180/360. Not to mention the healers, which is the worst part.

Because the 90s hit WAY harder with ranged than melee, and use mostly melee in close combat. If the 360s are out, you're already praying mage, so adding another combat style doesn't matter. If you're not stupid, you won't have to worry about getting too close to a 360 by running toward a different monster.

Karil's has better ranged defense bonuses. The only thing that should hurt you in the caves is ranged from the 90's, as you pray magic against 360's and safespot 180's. Therefore, Karil's is preferable. My strategy involves getting close to the 90s so they use mostly melee, which I think is pretty standard. You're looking at an extra +2 ranged def vs -10 crush def, plus you have to pay for Karils. I'm not seeing it.

DO NOT USE KARILS Use a black dragonhide body. Compare their melee defense and ranged bonus. No reason to use Karils anyplace where you aren't worried about magic defense.

For the higher level antipoison, you always get 4 doses. I think this is true of everything made of coconut milk. I doubt it's a bug, more of a compensation for the rare ingredients.

Not after you get a slayer ring! Those things rock. Good point : I wouldn't know because with Duradel the rings are almost completely useless, but there's your answer i guess. Teleporting to the slayer cave (= closest fairy ring tele by far), Tarn's lair (totally out of the way), Slayer tower (Duradel assigns a few things in there, if I recall correctly :P), and Polnivniach (used to have my house there just to have a desert tele) is hardly useless, IMO. Plus you can check on how many points you have without being at a slayer master :D

Edit: The poster above asked the OP to post his levels before editing.

I don't like hiding behind a table for nechs, half the time they hit me in void and sometimes follow me around, it's a lot easier to just take hits, if you don't have anything to add to the thread, don't post. @kemi, thanks, i'll try it out. Still open for more suggestions. You being bad at safespotting =/= me having nothing to add to the thread.

Plant some trees for farming, buy ingredients for herblore if you can, or kill chaos druids if you can't, and use the Wilderness course for agility.

Do Smoking Kills, then do Shilo, and then use Duradel.

This. Also, remember to turn on Lunars and use contact npc to get a task while you're there. One time I got two suqah tasks in a row and never had to leave the island ^_^

You can safespot both of those tasks pretty easily. If you can't safespot a task, it's not going to be easy to range. I'd just melee it.

The country club called, they want their context back.

Pot and pie do not stack. As already said, fly fishing is the best way to powertrain fishing, at least at lower levels.

Absolutely, and it's way way easier with easier monsters. I haven't prayed on black demons since I was around 118 combat (pre-summoning), when I would just use Guthans to stay alive. Nowadays with a bunyip and SGS in addition to my Guthans, it doesn't even feel dangerous to do so. For somebody your level though, you would probably want to hybrid prayer if you can use a bunyip, since they can hit pretty hard at lower levels. If you can't use a bunyip yet, you might be better off praying full time, or just ranging them.
