Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be meleeing only. I'll look into the skeletons as well. =p You need 80+ def and guthans to train effectively there. Maybe try spiders in SoS. I'm aware of the SoS as a place where quite a lot of monters are aggressive. Do you know the approximate level of these spiders and whether 55 or so defence is sufficient against them? Tyvm!

Oo, I've said that bandits are too high for me already, but I'm interested in this Morton shades thing. I have no idea what they are, could you elaborate. What level are they, what is a salve ammy (e), and would they be good for 40-55 defence?

Thanks for your suggestion, but I still fail to see how you think this is against the rules. I stay at the computer constantly; I am just clicking a LOT less. I hope you understand what I mean. What I am doing is perfectly legal. Thanks!

What would be the best "AFK" (away from keyboard) training spot with a character with around 40-55 or so defence? I understand that AFKing is against RS rules, and I am only using the term to reference training spots where monsters auto-attack you, meaning you don't have to click. I will not be literally away from the keyboard, just doing work while I train, and keeping the occasional eye on the screen. I have considered bandits, yet I understand they, at level 51, are much too high for me, it would take too much food. I have also contemplated flesh crawlers, but they are very low HP and I'd like other suggestions. Thanks!!! P.S. I'd be great if you could provide a little information about the monster, such as it's levels, and especially if they are efficient training such that there are enough of them, and one will hit me almost immediately after the previous has died. It would be really great if you have an estimate of their max hit too.

As I've stated, xp is not really a concern for me. I just want to have fun, and I've heard CW is great for that. =p Thanks for the advice, I think I'll be using melee.

Very nice vid. =p I was wondering if I might be able to join. Here are my stats if you're interested. 64 combat: 60 attack 78 strength 1 defence 11 prayer 82 magic 71 ranged 74 hp. Thanks for considering! I'm always open to PMs on Tip.It!

Well, after I get 82 mage (very soon) I hope to do a little castle wars. (I've never played before). I'm wondering if my stats are good enough to play it, and whether I should use melee or ranged in it. I'm not there for the xp, more the fun, but I'd like to know what method would give me more xp. My stats are (Combat 64): 60 attack 78 strength 74 hp 82 mage 71 range 1 defence 11 pray (ancients prequest). If I use melee I'll probably just use dds and scimitar. If I use ranged, I'll use bronze arrows or knives. I won't be using magic often though, since it costs quite a lot, but i'll definately bring some blitzes. So, what are you opinions on what method I should use in terms of effective minigaming and xp? I know I'll probably die often because of my def/pray, but will I hit through others a lot? Thanks for reading.

Hey, just wondering if you can alch members' items in f2p worlds. Thanks.

Well I know a friend who has 99 ranged/mage at 1 defence who stakes. Unfortunatly he doesn't get much from it at all for a few reasons. Not many people stake him because of his stats *hiscores checkers*, and he often gets KOed by dds-whippers. I suggest you use this account to pk, make a new DDS staker account to stake with. Mine has 60 att, 78 str, made it in a few days. So far I've made around 130m on it, while my friend's 99range/mage pure still struggles with staking. Pkingwise it is very very good though. Good luck.

Well I recently did Desert treasure and Family crest on my pure. I have figured out that firebolting is more expensive and slower than high alching, but I prefer this way since I get HP xp and do not have to concentrate on the screen continuously. (I can click monster and just wait for it to die). I don't know exactly how many firebolts I'll need, but I'm going to start with 70k. So what I'm hoping for is a good place for me to train. Preferably it'd be a place with a safespot since I only have 1 defence and 11 pray which I gained on a DT prequest. It would also be great if the monster had relatively high hp and not a high defence against magic. I'd also like fast xp, which means I don't want to wait between killing them. Drops do not matter so much, but if you mention them that'd be a bonus. Thanks in advance!

That'd be the point of using daggers, you're right. But most people use scimitars because it has the best speed-strength ratio. Actually, daggers and scimitars have the exact same speed, with scimitar clearly the stronger. So yes, what you see is definately the result of cheap pkers afraid to lose a scimitar. =p

Thanks a lot mate. Pretty much every question I've asked recently has been answered well by you. =p I'll smelt steel till 35, do the quest, and then smith cannonballs to 40. Where can I get the mould for cannonballs though? Once again, thanks for replies. EDIT: one last thing, which bank/furnace should I use? Right now I use fally east - furnace. Tyvm.

Hey, I'm in need of 40 smithing asap for family crest quest. I'm currently level 29, and I'd like the fastest way to get there. According to the calculator, I'd need to smelt around 1.4k steel bars, which will take quite a long time (does anyone know how long?) so I'm hoping for an easier way. I heard cannonballs are good, but can each steel bar make 4? Thanks!

Hi, I'm a level 63 attempting to do desert treasure. I have 1 defence and 11 prayer. I was just wondering how I could get the ice gloves? According to a few guides I've read, I kill the ice queen for them. The problem is, I haven't started the Heroes quest and it's during this supposedly that I'm meant to kill the ice queen. I'll also like to know if it's possible for me to do it without help from other players. Remember, I don't have protect prayers and my defence is 1. Thanks! Oh, and how do I get [bleep]ed boots? I only have climbing ones. =p

I'm 42 thieving at the moment, what would be fastest way to get it to 53? I've tried master farmers, but I get caught quite a lot. Thanks

Thank you, I think that's almost completely right, since I did do some research just then. One thing though, is whether or not the Farseer helm is the best for that spot (+6 opposed to ghostly hood which is +3) I have looked on various sites, yet none have said defence is needed for this. Thanks!

Thanks nerdattack. For the main parts (helm/body/legs) is it true that ghostly robes are better than just f2p wizard clothes? How about splitbark and skeletal armour? Or do they require defence?

Thanks for the quick post. However, I have some questions. What do I need to do to be able to obtain/wear chaos gauntlets, and is there a better item for the shield slot than elemental sheild? How about the god books? (I'm not sure). Lastly, What do you mean by finishing the Mage Minigame? Is it hard? Thanks!

Hey, I'd like to know what the best armour is for a 1 defence member. It'd help a lot if you told me what quests are needed to be done before I could use them too. Here are some of my guesses for some slots, please correct me if I'm wrong. Remember, this is for a 1 defence pure, and I only care about magic attack bonus, not any defence. Helm: Amulet: Magic = Glory = Fury (all +10 to magic attack) Torso: Legs: Weapon: Air staff (+10 to magic as with all elemental staffs) Sheild: Zamorak god book > elemental shield (thanks nerd/smith) Cape: God cape (thanks smither) Boots: Wizard boots Gloves: Chaos gauntlets? Or combat brace? (magic +3) As you can see, I'm only really sure regarding the amulet and weapons slots. Any help/suggestions appreciated, and in case you're wondering, I'm trying to fire bolt my way to 82 magic. (Still unsure of what monster on) Thanks!

That's exactly what I wanted, thanks a lot.

Hey, I was just wondering which magic spells have the ability to freeze the opponent, what level is required to use them, and whether or not ancient magiks are required to use them. The only ones I can think of are bind/snare/entangle. Thanks.

If you're a pure, why are you even contemplating defence? I mean, 10 defence too, what can you do extra? Wear black (g) and show off? It's just not worth it, the 10 levels you should rather be spent on hitpoints.

I believe they should not have been created in the first place. I mean, if Germans are given a world of their own, they are not as willing to mix with the rest of the runescape community. These worlds are just creating more divisions between players.

Thanks for the advice guys, I've gotten the account back. Traded my mask set to brother just in case he swore or did anything bad during that time. Only lasted around 15 minutes, but he managed to delete my whole friends list and drop trade everything I had on me. I'm so lucky I had a PIN.
