That's assuming that you think that "time spent running in a circle on an agility course" = "time spent playing a minigame". I just watch tv while training agility. I don't think anyone's crazy enough to just watch some game character run in circles, while doing nothing else. I think I'd rather train agility (+tv) than play BA. So, I'll only use the horn if it'll save me time in the long run.

time to recharge: time you need to teleport to a bank, switch equipment, tele to Barbarian Outpost, find a team and fill your horn to 100% time to deplete: how long it gives twice the exp If the time to recharge < time to deplete, it will be useful. For example, recharge time is 5 minutes and deplete time is 10 minutes. If you have to spend 15 minutes in game, not using the horn will get you 15 minutes normal training and using the horn will get you twice the amount you would get in 10 minutes = 20 minutes. Obviously better. Technically, if time to recharge = time to deplete, it doesn't matter whether you use it or not.

What I want to know: is time required to charge (0 -> 100%) < time it takes to deplete (100 -> 0%)

Closest tele to a Fairy Ring is Slayer Ring (Slayer cave), followed by Glory (Edgenville). I add the useful fairy codes to my ignore list, but you could use the notes thingy. Don't farm your extra Spirit Seeds. As far as I know, the only assured way of getting one, would be to get 55k points at Vinesweeper, which is a lot! You could still get lucky with other methods, but don't count on it. Just hang on to them. Don't farm apple trees, they're worthless (sell the seeds); use curries or better. Will this be the next hot topic?

55-70: Wildy (especially if you have brawlers) 70-85: Ape Atoll (however some people recommend switching to goblin city course) 85-90: Advanced Gnome 90-99: Advanced Barbarian Spread the word!

- Advantage for putting it in Brimhaven: Fruit tree, Agility Arena, Cart to Shilo [if you don't have Karam gloves 3], Brimhaven Dungeon, Monty (daily pineapples), Frequent penguin location ...Other ways of getting there: Glory to Karamja (long walk), Ardougne tele (long walk + 30 gp), Shilo cart (??? gp + long walk + Karam gloves 3) - Advantage of putting it in Etcertia: Bush Patch, MTK ... Other ways of getting there: Fairy ring (CIP) Why not to chose Etcertia: The only reason to chose Etcertia, would be if you do a lot of Farming (Fairy ring would be faster for MTK), but if you farm, you'll need to go to Brimhaven too. So, even if the only reason to go to Brimhaven would be the fruit tree, it would be as good as Etcertia. However, there are more reasons, and that's why Brimhaven wins hands down.

Fair enough. Removing SS.

Individual reports are no good. I'd like people to compare them, but I guess I'll add whip to the guide. Would you say I need to add another Super Restore to the recommended inventory? Also, gratz on defeating him.

I never said it didn't; I said "take what you want". Then I suggested the equipment I used. BGS is the recommended weapon, because I met a 137 when I was trying to beat him, who said BGS hit better than most weapons for him. I also saw vids of people use Z Spear and I used Sara Sword myself, which in retrospective, wasn't so bad (even though your attack style doesn't complement the attack bonusses). I did try whip + defender at first, without good results, but that might have to do with my armour and not knowing about the pillars... A fully charged DFS has only a +10 magic defence bonus, on top of a +7 strength bonus (which is of lesser importance here, since we are looking for more accuracy, not higher hits). I'd say a whip + mage's book (+15 magic defense) would be about as good, but if you disconnect you'll lose less money. It doesn't really matter at your level, ickdeep, your stats are even better than mine and I did just fine even with all the mistakes I made (see vid). I'm not entirely sure whip is a good choice, but I don't have enough experience to be conclusive (you only get to fight him once (fortunately)). If anyone gets a chance to compare whip + defender/mage book/DFS to BGS or any of the other weapons I mentioned, I'd like to hear the results.

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be that good, but then again, I did beat him, didn't I? That's why I suggest BGS > Zspear > Sara Sword. If you watch the vid, I hit very bad, until I switch to Accurate. Maybe I'll include the whip, but I tried that before, and it didn't get me far, so I assumed it was worse than SS, and thus not worth including. Anyone can confirm that whip + mage book (only one kind of spirit shield is better than mage book and it costs 99 Mill) is better than SS?

Very interesting indeed. I shall henceforth partake in this daily endeavor. Might I perhaps suggest a few improvements : 1) Watchtower tele (after Ardougne diary 3) -> Free sand (Bert) -> Mage guild --- [earths, waters, deaths] 2) Lunar tele/ Lyre tele -> Rune shop --- [earths, waters, deaths, battlestaffs] 3) Taverley house tele/ Falador tele --- [vials, eye of newts] 4) Cabbage-port --- [earths, waters, deaths, feathers] 5) Pest Control boat ---- [earths, waters, deaths] 6) Karamja gloves 3 ---- [feathers, vials, vials of water] 7) Barbarian outpost -> Lighthouse ---- [vials, vials of water] 8) Camelot tele -> Free flax (Geoffrey) -> Ahrein (Catherby pier) --- [seaweed, pineapples] 9) Ardougne tele -> Free pure ess (Wizard Cromperty) -> Ardougne General store --- [vials, vials of water] 10) Bank in south Ardougne bank 11) Ardougne lever -> Mage bank --- [earths, waters, deaths] 12) Varrock tele --- [earths, waters, deaths, battlestaffs] 13)Grand Exchange Aside from that, it is my opinion that mentioning the amount of currency, required to complete such a journey, would be a nice addition to this guide.

Yeah the problem was with Firefox. I tried with IE and my .mp4 vid uploaded just fine. Might even work with .wmv, but I didn't try, since the vid is working and it took a long time for that 43 MB. The .wmv is is 140+MB...

Vid of fight online!

Well, I tried directly uploading from my program, but it's too old (came with my Windows XP). Now, why can't I upload my converted video (.mpa, codec h264)?

That doesn't explain why the .mp4 with h264 codec doesn't work. Also, my version of Movie maker is too old to upload directly. I'm trying Dailymotion as an alternative, but want Youtube too eventually.

Best equipment: slayer helm + torso + tassets + dboots + barrow gloves + firecape + berz ring + fury + Sara Sword (Godswords are slightly worse) + spec weapon Inventory: a super set, some pray pots, that hammer thing, holy wrench, food, glory and some free spaces + bunyip/fight familiar summoned Best spot: Chaos Tunnels (entrance north of monastery) Seeing they are extremely close to Edgy bank, you won't need to bring that much resources; just use glory when you run out. Just fight them with the 10% strength pray on. If they hit a lot (they shouldn't), bring better def. Just try not to disconnect, since you won't be able to finish them off and keep a look out for those granite mauls.

I'd say either GE or tele to Karamja with glory, bring inventory with baskets and tele to Edgy when done.

I'm having trouble uploading a vid to Youtube. I captured the video to an .avi, which I edited to a .wmv with Windows Movie Maker. I tried uploading this several times, but it failed rather fast and just said "error". The I used VLC to convert it to a .flv with H264 codec, which seemed to upload fine until it gave an error at the end. Now I'm converting it to a .mp4 with H264 codec, but that's still running. Anyone know what is wrong and how I should solve it?

I think you can do it, following my guide: http://forum.tip.it/topic/256003-nomad-made-easy Good luck.

I already mention this in the info about the fight. Well I read this and assumed you didn't know, you might want to remove it. I found it easier to just wait for my character to run up to the right Nomad by himself, but still mention the info for those who disagree. Also, remove what? The info about the last one attacking being the real one? No I mean removing the part where you state the best thing to do is leaving auto retaliate on. All 4 Nomads hit pretty hard and since the problem most people have is a lack of space to keep food in, it would definitely be better just to attack the Nomad that attacks last. They hit up to 10 max, but I'll add the suggestion, so people can chose for themselves. Either way, you'll get hit once before you can find the real one, I just find it easier to let the game find the real one for me.

Before the removal of free trade, you would often see the equally annoying "free stuff pl0x". The reason why this has shifted from free stuff to free lending, is because people can't give that many stuff these days. Also, the GE has helped redirect our "junk" to people who actually have a use for it, lowering the amount of stuff we might give away. People wouldn't dare to ask to lend a certain item before, because it would be extremely simple to scam them. Now, there's a safe way to lend, so people, instead of asking for stuff, ask for the temporary use of a certain item. I personally repeat "go to w2 Ge to borrow" or "already lending something" when I don't want to lend. I don't find the asking that annoying, even when I'm walking around with my D Claws. Also, the author left out another simple solution to this problem : unequipped the item. I think this is a step up from "free stuff pl0x", since the reason they asked for stuff was because you have a high level. You can take off your Claws, but not your Combat level ... All things considered, I think lending was a great update with a minor annoyance, but in no way would I want it removed.

I already mention this in the info about the fight. Yeah, you're right. When I was writing the guide, I put it in the correct order, but Tip.It Bestiary said Freeze before Clone, so I went with it. Good news everyone! The vid of my fight with Nomad is edited and if someone could tell me how to upload a .wmv to Youtube, I'll add a link.
