I don't believe you can cut them down to begin with, I believe they're just decoration.

After comparing both the mining guild and the coal trucks, I find that actually the mining guild is far quicker and less tedious than seers, simply for the fact there's no "quick" way back and forth from the carts and the bank, and when you do the mining guild, it's 1 click to ladders, 1 click to bank, 1 click back to ladders. Easy.

If you world hop for the dragon stones, you need very very very very few cosmics.

I dunno if this is helpful, but when I was super-duper-uber broke, use Serum 207s on Morton residences to sometimes get some tarromins back. It's slow and painful, but as I said, when you're broke....

Spending less time asking for help and actually putting effort into finding ways to make said money also helps. Don't mean this offensively, but there's few "secrets" to making loads of money. If someone tells you how to make money, then more people know, and the more people who know, the more it's done, and the more it's done the less demand for said services. I.E. Two months ago I killed blue dragons and was popping 2.6-2.7k each bone and around 2k-2.1k each blue d hide. Now the bones sell for poop cause so many people do dragons now for cash.

Combat skills aside, I greatly recommend you try out each of the new skills. Spend atleast an hour in each, get a feel for them. You're going to fall in LOVE with agility, I'm sure. It's a pain leveling it early on, but once you get 50+ I've found it's not so bad. Fletching, good, staple skill, though at the moment, my advice, tread lightly into it, prices are inflated out the wazoo thanks to skill capes. Farming, unless you're hopped up on enough Ritalin to make watching slug's race interesting, or you have the attention span to listen to the entirely Encylopedia Brittanica read to you by Ben Stein, than I recommend you just avoid this lil nugget all together. The rest.... to tired to sum up, you'll have to see for yourself. PS: Dragon weapons will make you fall in love with mindlessly beating things to death all over again.

Nope, you just gotta get a new chunk of rock and ammy-fie it.

IMO: Forget trying to balance drinks and just get the last mining level.

"Curse" is the best way to go, but since you can't cast it yet, either stick with a damage spell, or cast any "curse like" spell until then.

1) Curse 2) Alc

Killed both, they seem to drop at the same rate for me.

Ok, someone who's already reached 85 mining, which do you feel would be faster for me?

I saw a level 70 range pure with 52 prayer with one.... so nothing shocks me when it comes to getting them, I think you can do it.

If you have to use one of those two, I'd say fire bolt with gaunlets, but there's better ways. Though no hp exp.

Nope, getting members just for pc be bad. 1. Most people you'd be able to do it with aren't strong enough to kill portals. 2. You will take damage to fast, and spend more time checking out the landing boat, rather than fighting and reaching "zeal".

I cast my vote for Fire Giants.

Go to the dwarven mine west of Edgeville. Go to the area in the north west. (You can kind of see it when you come downt he ladder into the mine) and talk to a dwarf named "Nurmof" Bring some gold with you, no more than 500 gold should be enough.

...and DON'T accept any trade offers.... I watched one guy almost get killed while alcing because of this.

You don't duel people, you stand on the balcony and look down over all the fights.

He's f2p... Free to play, you're not really gonna have many options for gold besides guild I'm afraid.

Time for a good ol fashioned "Burn and Dump" Burn your important files to a cd... making darn sure they can't be infected. Wipe harddrive. Reinstall. Cry and go on. Sorry man, I really hate to put it this way, as it's not very helpful, but if they can do this well.... you're boned.

This is relatively true. But depending on the steady demand versus "One time demand" prices might have high fluxs. Coal. 150-200. Always a demand, very little flux, though depending on currently supplies...say, one month no one wants to get coal, you might see a price increase (210 is fairly high, but seem it) But yes, things like God Armors are "One time demands" meaning.... how many sets are you really going to buy? And when you have yours, there's more in the market, and less people wanting it. Sorry, my response really didn't add much new information to this, but well, don't be shocked if one day prices jump on it.... I sold my dragon axe two days before an update for under 2 mil.... go me... Basically: Economics is FUN! :edit: Oh yeah, side note. Certain things increasing in demand and new supply (Aka, new treasure trail items) May cause I small jump in the prices. Robin Hoods have gone up, due to far less coming into the new market thanks to the new treasure trail items, so they've gone back up in price. (Though this will only be temporary, and a slow decline)

You will be pleased to know you can. Now, there is a random chance with each hit (10%, though if anyone has more accurate, please say it) of stealing life.

Blue dragons give bad rewards? My last one got me zammy plate, and one a few back gave me a black cavvy...

It's dirt cheap, easy to get, and you don't give two squats if you die and lose it.
