From hat I heard a couple times here, Armadyl is better against high defence monsters and void is better against low-mid defence monsters. You need the accuracy of Armadyl against high defence and void has better xp rates when your natural ranged accuracy is high enough to hit most of the times.

Finding parralels with real life is easier when trying to explain human behaviors. People are usually not analyzing their gameplay scientifically. You will see a lot of people claiming the Ring of Wealth doesn't work based on 2-3 drops they have gotten in quick succession without wearing one, while a thorough testing could have shown that these specific drop were a fluke and wearing a ROW would have made them more cash in the long run (this is an example, I haven't done this test). This is called selective interpretation: claiming something based on a feeling or a limited sample. Most people need an anchor to support their beliefs. It's not everyone that's willing to analyze through statistics and mathematics the machanics of this game. Making up fairy tales is a lot faster and simpler to actually look for a real answer.

Lots of cash on a nice account... very impressive. One of the best account I've seen in a couple months. Right up there with the maxed out accounts and BoB of around 500M to 1B.

Both these statements are true. What matters following that is the player's point of view and what his/her objectives are. If getting a high combat is important for pvp or monster hunting from that player's point of view, slayer is not the way. If getting all skills to 99 in the fastest possible way is the objective, that player should slay his combat levels.

I see people believing in lots of made up fairy tales IRL, I don't expect it to be that different in RS.

Guthan's special will sometimes heal yuou while hitting 0. this is probably due to the strength roll.

Here's my theory on attack bonus. Every time you take a swing at your opponent, a random number is generated by the game. this number is between (including) 0 and (your attack level X activated prayer X black mask/slayer helmet/void/salve amulet bonus) + your total equipment bonus. Let's say this adds up to 235. At every swing, a number between 0 and 235 is generated by the game. Your opponent also gets a randomly generated number from his ( defence level X activated prayer) + total equipment bonus. Let's say this adds up to 435. If the attacker gets a higher number than the defender, a successful hit is registred, BUT it then depends on the randomly generated number from (str lvl X activated prayer X black mask/slayer helmet/void/salve amulet bonus) + total equipment bonus. Let's say this adds up to 265. Any number higher that 0 will result in a damaging hit, while getting a 0 even if the attack was succesful will result in a 0 damage hit. The max hit will happen when you get that max number (or most likely the last 3-4 highest number) while also getting a hit. This is mostly like rolling dices for those familiar with D & D.

Multi combat zones are pretty sweet for cannon and combat familiars... I wouldn't write them off because you met a kill stealer.

I wouldn't call them my heroes, but they are or were players that I would sometime look up on the highscore or read up on the forums. RS "heroes" - Zezima - S1acker - N0valyfe - Gertjarrs - Kingduffy1 - Skateenjoi - Aasiwat - Youloveme - Yogosun - Zarfot - Empror1 Community "heroes" - Duke Freedom - Zarfot (he alone made me go back to the RSOF only for his guides) - Compfreak/Deviledegg ( the forums are less alive without you around) - Jard Y Dooku - Queltar (too bad he kinda quit and thruthscape became a breeding ground for Anti-Jagex sentiments)

protect melee with proselyte... or you could go to the Chaos Tunnel and kill the baby blacks there while getting a full invent of green hides and d bones...

This is a game mostly played by teens and kids. Behaviors like that should be expected (not encouraged though).

If you find the game boring, you should probably quit. Feeling mad about a game is a very bad thing, there are people out there who could solve your problem. i notice you can't raise the money to pay for member ship then you probably don't have the money to consult professional doctors, so forget that. As for getting an exciting F2P, you could buy expensive items and run in the wild.

your plan is pretty good and that's what I would do!

Grats only 125 lvls to maxing out! Good luck with crafting.

All skills 70+ is very nice. Grats! What's next? Defence through slayer?

I hate rating... but I have to say your skills are nicely balanced... 70+ si very nice. What's next ?

pretty sweet, no go for all skills 60+!

funny story, one more down! g luck on Farm.

No, being at the top of the highscore is enough of a reward.

Very good post though the only variables that cannot be define are future updates that will improve xp rates and I'm pretty sure we will see some in the near future. We recently have gotten the run update that boosted agility and mostly RC, but farming has been made faster which means an hardcore farmer now has more time to train other skills or go vinesweeper.

I have to say that your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea who would have more money, but either way, can we bring an end to this topic? There are countless topics out there with the same question. I say let it die...

I agree with this. The effect right now is just pushing great debates down the front page.

This is pretty funny coming from someone who has enough life to create no less than 6 new threads in the debate section that should have been posted in the questionnaires section. My answer still stands with RC starting at 91. Next time you post a new thread in the debate section, please read the rules first. 85 mining is better. Yeah but it depends greatly on how many 85-miners there are online when you go for runite ores. RC is steady and garanteed cash, while rune mining can be both more or less profitable. EDIT: Wow, a debate has emerged from this thread.

Dark beasts, lots of runite ores and infinite agressive monsters.
