Honestly, biggest problem I have with the coffin guy is I KNOW HOW TO DO THE DAMNED RANDOM. YES, I DO KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. This is my issue too, they really need an option to turn it off. Happens with the pirate random event too if you click the chest before he's done explaining.

Ignore j r's list of order to buy things for slayer. While 95 prayer is better than bandos, if it's out of your reach for the time then bandos will remain relatively stable. I should make a note that it is likely to drop before the bonus xp weekend and rise after it though. [hide=quyneax's standard slayer gear response] The base slayer gear is as follows (alternatives in brackets): •[For all slayer monsters except those mentioned under other weapons] Chaotic rapier (whip) •Bandos body + legs (Verac's skirt with either fighter torso or proselyte top) •[Depending on prayer/accuracy needs] Fire cape/Soul Wars cape/Ardougne cloak 3 •Barrows gloves (your best rfd gloves, at least rune) •Dragon boots (rune boots) •Amulet of fury (glory) •Dragon defender (rune defender) •Berserker ring (i)/ferocious ring if slaying in Kuradal's Dungeon (berserker ring, warrior ring) •[Most important] Full slayer helmet. •[For magic defence on waterfiends/aquanites] Karil's top and elite void skirt (black dragonhide body and chaps) •[Crush attacks to use on waterfiends] Chaotic maul (Saradomin sword, Zamorakian spear) •[stab attacks for higher-levelled dragons, when not using rapier] Korasi's sword (Zamorakian spear, leaf-bladed sword) •Task-specific items such as mirror shields, antifire shields/potions, elemental shields, rock hammers, crystal chimes •Cannon (optional, up to personal preference) Slayer setups generally emphasise strength bonus, which increases the average damage of each succesful hit (slayer monsters usually having rather low defence, hitting is not a problem). Secondly, prayer bonus is important to keep the cost of prayer potions down (as you slay with piety on, to increase the speed of your kills. This is cost-effective and highly recommended). As a rule of thumb, +15 prayer bonus or above is good, but don't overdo it (anything above +25 is a waste). Defence and accuracy bonus are usually not fretted over (any defence bonus over 200 will do; if you get hit too often you should be using a protection prayer). Dagganoth, black demon, black dragon, lesser demon, hellhound, bloodveld and abberant spectre tasks should be cannoned, as it dramatically increases xp rates (although it costs a bit). Some notes on gear: You'll want a fury and a berserker ring before you get bandos plate, and get that before tassets. You'll want accuracy bonus on higher-levelled dragons; if using stab attacks (which you should) you can use the Ardougne cloak 3 which provides you with +6 stab and +6 prayer bonus. Torso + sw cape and fire cape + proselyte are common cheap top/cape combinations; the former is better. Some levels to get for slayer (in approximate order but I'm not sure on the summoning): •68 summoning - bunyip •81 dungeoneering (you need 2 million xp, which takes you to level 80, but allowing some tokens for the scroll of life) - rapier •89 herblore (85 with a +4 stew boost) - extreme potions, superantifires •95 prayer - turmoil and soul split •88 summoning - unicorn •96 herblore (91 with a +5 stew boost) - overload •99 summoning - steel titan I'm sure I missed something but this is most of it.

"j r kerr" here is his runetrack profile I just made

I more suggested them just if you get sick of mining, not as a faster alternative.

Post count doesn't matter so long as you're willing to learn in the dungeons. What might be an issue however is the number of floors you can do, most people will only do larges at floors 30+. So you might have trouble finding team members for most of your floors, some soloing will fix that up quickly though, as will visiting any resource dungeons you haven't yet been to.

http://runetrack.com/ You'll need to sign up and get 10 people to view your signature before they'll track your gains though. That's easy enough to do if you put it in your forums signature though.

I don't know about your levels, but many monsters drop essence, especially slayer monsters. Spirit mages, Gargoyles, Abyssal demons, strykewyrms, banshees are all good droppers (noted essence)

I only just got the similarity between /b/ and /obt/... Thanks for putting them right next to eachother so I could get it, always wondered why you had the "/"s.

Both of those quotes seem to be saying the same thing.

With all your /obt/ and jaime jokes, you missed the funniest part of trolv's latest post. He's saying we need him to teach us to be a good at ignoring things as he is. On topic, get the rapier. And did we ever find out if the rapier vs longsword bandos-off went ahead? Not that it's likely to prove much assuming a small sample size, but semi interesting nonetheless.

Congratulations to Paperbag for his 2b xp, though you did have the advantage in getting that information on the topic first lol. Good luck with your real life issues.

When did you try that? I know that as recently as 20th of december this worked. You need to telegrab it though I think. Edit: This is what I did. Die in f2p, got grave blessed. Hopped to members, got levels. Hopped back to f2p, Telegrabbed my untrimmed capes. You need to remember which world you died on though, as that's the only one the grave will be in.

Wow you're just having to change the subtitle of this thread every day two aren't you? Congratulations

As a sidenote which is total spam, Arieondor, I tried getting your username the other day :( Ironic the person with it is a tipiter

If you want profitable herblore experience then you can clean herbs and optionally make them into unfinished potions (putting them into potions won't give you xp but with a scroll of cleansing will increase your profits). If you want to make potions, then as a general guideline, the faster it goes, the more expensive it will be. Though there are exceptions base on demand for potions however. A common compromise is super energy or super attack potions, though super defences seem to be good right now too.

Get it, or get an adze, though you shoul've done that before wildy update.

You may want to update your signature and name on tip it then.

The mysterious chronicles can only be dropped on certain floors (2 for each chronicle), don't know about the others. To clarify, are you asking for M and Tho journals 19 and 20 or mysterious chronicles 19 and 20?

Nice, how many stakes does statius last for? Also I'm finally in a video :)

Who do you suppose is posing a threat for her if she'll only last that long until knocked off this list? No one in fact... she will then pass Erw J for rank 14. In fact I see no new faces in the top 15 for the next 3-4 months at the pace everyone is going right now. At what stage do you expect skiller 703 to enter the top 15? (Presumably for Erw J?) Or is there somebdoy closer to entering the top 15 that I've forgotten about?

I think the ge turned a lot of people away from DIY as before this trading could be annoying and so people would be more willing to get things themselves rather than trying to buy it in world 2 or the forums. With the ge it became a lot easier for people to buy things so they don't need to anymore. Also Golv, I thought that was going to be a whole post without trolling efficiency till I read the last line, you got me.

If you have the show tat adjutments option selected then you'll be able to see the strength bonus boost and be able to compare this to the standard bonuses of turmoil. It won't tell you the level but you'll know what the benefit is and if you want to you could work out their level.

He told the pker to wear claws, they're not going into abys unless a real pker come and they need to escape.

The ironic thing is, now that these accounts have lost their items, some will go buy gp in order to gain back their losses. Guess where that's going to come from?

I just picked an item at random and compared it to the ge databse and they're the same. I assume that updated 2009 is when the coding for it was last updated and it can retrieve the correct ge prices on its own.
