rangers aren't that "vulnarable" for thieves: you can't thief the ammo they equip.. However with mages on the other hand: so much fun+very good if you thief + bank!

Reportedly the neelde only works when you use a different needle and have the new needle in your inventory :| Not true. It just doesn't work at all. I tried holding a different needle and no sucess. PS: The tools don't stack in any form. Meaning people cant just save up 1000 hammers and shatter the current exp records. Though, I'm sure it wont deter some people, especially seeing as you dont need any items to play the game, so you can just clear your whole bank for 500 tools. Oh, and you can only buy a ONE tool after playing a game. Not sure if you have to win because I havent lost since I started buying tools. You can play a couple times in a row and then buy a couple tools, but if you log out it won't let you buy any tools. So don't start saving up 20 million points to supply your tool needs for a life time, cause youve gotta buy them after the game. These two factors combined, I think compensate for some of the ridiculous exp rates. (But...this also means theres no real point in getting over 20k points per game if all you want is tools...) what's worse is that you if you log out you really "loose" your points you collected: meaning I'm now stuck with 200k points >.>..

Really how do you get so many points? - I keep woodcutting with a lv 4 axe lv 4 stuff and making it into runes -> banking it with a summon in the end.. This results in about 10-15k points/game! (84 wc, 88 rc)

Or they add a bit of realistic looking data into the field and clone your ip: this worked fore me quite often (while filling in wrong recoveries at my own account)...

unless you take into consideration that not every hilt get sold immediatelly: yet immediatelly brings money into the game.. And since prices are dropping, the price for which that hilt get sold later (which earlier provided the money already) might/will be below the amount of money it generated!

Or just take high-alchemie runes and only bank herbs, gems and dragon stuff.. Gets me through almost every task without banking at all..

There was once a time I tried to do them all: it became 100% of my runescape time. (and sadly nothing helped towards agility or runecrafting, my skills I try to get high atm) Now i just do mtk (bi-weekly), battlestaves (since I want 75 crafting I'm stocking up on them, every other day), tears (rarely lately)... I just don't feel like "redressing" for every chore I need to do: only playing for 5-10 mins straight every time I try to keep the startup time minimal..

I would really like to urge you to post also the levels during the time you get it, also "time" might be important to write down.. Ow or do it like I do: just vid everything so you're sure you don't miss anything! (I make a vid of everything in rs I do with 1frame/2seconds) But levels are very important: and many guide-writers seem to neglect them (and think everybody has their levels), yet these actually determine the best method: somebody with low prayer might not be as good with prayer tasks as someone with 70+ prayer, making veracs in his case worse than karils/other barrows... Others might not have very low defense, so they need to pray on lots of missions: proselyte comes in handy for those people! Another big difference in the summoning level: bobs, healers, or fighters? - Depend a lot on which summon you actually can use.. (The best fighter at lv 68 is for example the karamthulu, but I prefer to take a bunyip or tortoise in all tasks!) Another problem is the which quests you have finished: do yo want lunar magic (and this influences not only the most efficient method, but also the max profit: so you should actually record the profit from rune+ and the profit from all other high alchables), you need to have done lunar diplomacy (at least). Can you use fairy rings? Have you done the quest that unlocks sumona? RFD-barrow gloves? All in all a lot to consider, so it's impossible to say "that method is best": and if you want any credibility (at least from me) you should discuss it in a guide about monsters! Incomplete/one sided guides we have more than enough already!

good story (this is also the reason why people with autism are very good inverstors).. Just 1 minor problem: masks weren't high from initial start: it took about 2-3 months before masks started to rise in price! (That's the thing I don't understand about masks: why suddenly it starte to rise).

I never use food with no armour. Make sure you're using Super antipoisons, not the Sara book. uhm no: actually the anti poison "prayer book" is much, much better.. Free anti poison! (yes it's free, since you're poisoned for "1" you pay floor(1/2) = 0 prayer) Really and being protected isn't that usefull, just use the anti book once in a while, and if you click fast enough (before the animation starts) you can use it without a delay!

overgrown?

pvp..? I know it was at least the standard in the old duel arena...

I made a sheet about mtk someday: it's somewhere in my old posts (if you want and you're not afraid of hard to understand things)... But with the prices "on top" (just after pvp worlds were release I last updated the price listing on my pc).. It's with 10 fish, 5 maple (which was then the most profitable) it was ~115k/day if updating every 7 days.. (89k from fish, 27k from wc - mining would give 22k daily but ores are a lot easier to sell than bird nests)

Well I wanted to do a few barrow runs... and am wondering what to do.. (please don't say get levels: I don't want to do that :P).. My levels are: 83 attack, 87 strength, 86 defens.. 88 hitpoints, 65 pray (won't level it!) 86 ranged, 78 magic Now I'm wondering what to wield/what in inventory: If I'm doing black sallys what's the general idea (black sallamanders for everything, or the melee brothers, and what armor)? Or if I go a more "old" approach what armor should I take? (can't buy godswords yet though..) have basically this in bank: verac set guthan set fury, dboots, fighter torso, dskirt zammy book, rune defender, or spirit shield (?) whip (dds, and halberd) void ranged black dhide set + archer helmet (might buy god coif if it's really nice) rune crossbow enough supplies to do a lot! (runes arrows, food aren't a problem).. What you advice to take with me? I'm going to try to stay there for more than 1 run: what should I take in that case?

Just safespot everything, mutated bloodveld room is GREAT for safespotting! (only the mighty banshee room is a place with more/easier safe spots).. Anyways: I personally hardly ever melee these days. Range really is good, and combining it with slayer makes it profitable + efficient for training too! Basically every monster more (or equal) to a size of 2*2 can be safespotted always! But the problem is: melee is better, melee is often easier/more straight forward. You don't need to look for safe spots, so unless like me you kick on finding safe spots ( :? ) meleeing is what you should do! Now I personally hate using a dds too: I feel that I hit often more with 2 whip-attacks than with 2 dds specs. Still it's proven that a dds-spec is better than a whip. Now as for guthans: well if you're lower than 68 summoning it's a "must": sure bones to peaches/food might be enough: but it's just too hard to do.. After 68 it's a bit of a tradeoff: guthans is a lot worse than normal slayer armor, however if don't use guthans you can't use a combat familair. So I would say: between 68 and 89 summoning use a bunyip/unicorn... from 89 onwards use guthans again (+ geyser titan).

whip + controlled for all lvling equally?

Well at pvp it actually isn't too bad: unless the opponent has a strong magic defense + high magic level.. You can destroy your opponent.. Just choose the correct targets.... There are only a few problems: -pjing is the biggest threat: halting an oppenent is really nice, but if somebody else takes his place it's kind of stupid... -High magic defense is possible.. I'm not sure why, but magic seems to be more influenced by the opponents armor than melee/range.. -High cost.. I'm sorry but that's also something you should take into consideration: even if a magician kills somebody the current loot system almost never gives enough back. (if the fight comes down to a deadmatch/foodmatch).. -No tb on ancients.. The well known fast-slow-spell trick works greatly as ko power.. (well like 2 dds specs). But the problem is: if I melee and I notice a magician holds me in place with his ice I simply tele out instantly! Call me a teletubby: but that's just how it works, the only way to get a kill is by surprising your opponent.. So a combination of low/no KO power + no tb (unless you go for the worse option of god spells) makes mages just an "annoyance": strong but nothing to worry about! Now as for PvM: well magic is simply non-existant here apart for barrows and dk. I'm really wondering what jagex is thinking: but magicians just are never ever good!

why would you quite runescape over that lol? I really don't understand what this fuss about raising the level cap is... What the problem if you dont'have the max level in something? Are you less of a person in that case or something? In my opinion the whole idea of a cap should be removed: just make it so you can keep leveling!

picture doesn't load here: anyone cares to explain what he's doing?

You all forget 1 thing: spirit shield weights 0-1 kg! - THAT'S really a plus point! - especially when you want to run a lot.. so I would say spirit shield: if you get within melee defense won't help you anyways!

What do we want? - Well it's so different it's impossible to state.. Apart from the facts in my previous post here: -"endurance fighting", so fights where armor etc is important, a fight that isn't over in 2-3 lucky hits. (I've been shouting this already since barrows came out, and finally now this week's tip.it times describes this "lottery" thing perfectly).. But more important: control! - The wilderness was about being in total control: YOU controlled what happened and what you got.. You KNEW that if you won a fight you would get that nice whip he smashes you with, you KNEW that you would get an expensive ahrims set if you managed to get that ancients down. Loot indeed is important: but what was more important, and made pking much more fun than actually boss killing (which is also an andrenaline rush) is that you could always blame yourself for picking the wrong target, or always knew what you were going to get.. Now pking is actually just a glorified way of never-weaker-bosshunting, drops are all based on luck. The problem is: once it isn't based on luck anymore, and once it's predictable "unbalanced trading" WILL be possible again: people WILL exploit it. (well they could do something like bounty hunter, but then again I really hate bounty since it's too busy, making it bad in an even worse way, now picking your targets is based on luck!). So they can't add it :(. Ow and don't bother posting suggestions at the rsof: I once wrote a very, very long suggestion about a GE update, where I even prove why my method would work with some calculations! - Yet no one ever took the time to comment on it, or even read it!

bad luck.... (on a side node: why the hell you wield a d med!)

Well I don't know what happened but my password doesn't work anymore.. SoI follow the easy steps of password recovery: after getting the tracking id it tells me I should look at the main page to track my recovery: but there's nowhere to track it! - I can't track it at all! Now how what do I do? - Where can I actually see my status? (what menu/submenu would I need?)

Uhm if you ask which is better you've got something to compare them with: and that thing CAN be xp/hour.. For xp/hour: well even at lv 85+constantly potting ranged I've experience that EVEN AT irons void is slightly faster each task (and hence more xp/hour) than black dragonhide (+archer helmet/barrowgloves). Never tested it at the kbd though.. But also consider this: since diamond bolts neglect the opponents defense a lot, diamond bolts + void is a natural choice for bosses! Personally the only thing that void lacks is defensive protection... But that's never needed!

or you could just notice that red and blue are the opposing colours, and used already in the ancient times (yes romans used red for their own armies and blue for enemies).. And still is in use nowadays?
