I usually alch at the nature chest, alch three times, pick the chest. Every three chest picks go to the other chest and pick that, then alch twice and back to the nat chest. If I want to alch in some peace and quiet, I'll usually go to the lair of a high level monster and alch there, or near the webs in the varrock sewers. Occasionally I'll go camp the spawns of the Mith or addy rocks near fally mining guild.

It'd hit the max hit you could do, or nothing. Now it just drains energy which is good for pking, but this item is so expensive not many people pk with it.

This has been happening alot to me lately, even with melee. I'll eat some food then click attack, and the character will move one square in a random direction before he starts swinging. This gets very annoying in single combat zones. At the firegiants I had well over 8 half killed giants sitting around because each time I ate another one would attack me.

Also, if you are patching holes, bring bailing buckets too. If you get all holes fixed, just bail till one pops again.

You will catch fish up to the level you normally would be able to. I usually get a few swordfish lobsters and tuna per trip.

Dammit smavey, you hate me don't you. How am I supposed to get up at 6am?

I completed a 100+ iron dragon assignment in 3 trips. While I did make a bit of a loss, it isn't the hardest thing in the world to do. You definately want a decent prayer level, something above 50 would be best.

Mine gems in Shilo. Go kill Green dragons for days. Collect the snape grass on Entrana Pickpocket guards without people killing them all the time. Go melee the only place I know of with more than one greater demon sapwn. Kill firegiants without having to compete with cannon noobs, and all those archers and mages in the melee room. Buy nats up at the mage arena bank. Train agility in the wilderness. ... I'd be in heaven.

Or you could just go to the chaos alter and collect 450 inventories of bones and bury them.

Another good way to do it, is sit there and keep tele-othering them. It seems autoers automatically accept help, so they will be whisked away.

I stopped playing about the same time as you, came back just afore Xmas. There's a massive new area under karajama volcano where you can get the fire cape, obsidian gems, the obsidian sheild (same stats as granite but +5 str to boot) and apparently some maul. There is also a new mage training area just north of the duel arena building (Literally, its about a 30second walk from the bank chests). Barrows has come out, yet to try that. Acient magicks are out, yet to try those as well. Farming is out, looks to be alright for herblore. Whips are the new hotness now, and with the amount of xp you can get with them its crazy. Dragon Scimitar has been released. People are using dragon scimmy or whip and excalibur for training now, as the dragon scimmy spec stops people protect praying, and the whip drains energy. New prayers are out. Smite, retribution, and... some other one. One of them deals damage to nearby enemies when you die, one heals you if you fall below 10%hp (Drains all your prayer though) and smite takes prayer off equal to 1/4 of the damage you deal while you have the prayer on. Oh, prices. Treasure trail stuff has gone down alot. Phats have gone up, ALOT. Law runes have dropped quite a bit. Dragon chain prices rose then fell again, are apparently steady at about 20m each. Dragon axe has come out too, pretty rare. New rings boosting range, magic, attack or strength are out as well. Boots up to rune are out, not many people seem to bother with them though. Dragon Dagger Super poisen is the new hotness too. Many more potions have been added. I think I've missed alot though.

Autoing. It had to be said. But really, I kill monsters around my level for the drops. got two dragonstones, a scimmy, and a rune bar within 8 kills of each other yesterday.

For The Win.

That update ages ago when they changed every single npc combat level. Closely followed by the one where they reset your bank and inv after you left tutorial island.

I'm sorry, but I still haven't got photoshop, so I wont be participating.
