I never knew a whip can give STR exp too... BTW, will a dds get me to 99str faster than a d long? i might just do that then.... Well whip on controlled...gives 1/3 the xp on str. DDs is around 10% faster than D long (44k xp per hour compared to 40k when I tested it like 2 years ago).

Not to burst anyone,s bubble but the DDS will get you more xp per hour than the d long. That has been tested on dagganoths, a somewhat medium monster in terms of defence. As to the original question, you would need the xp rates of both weapons and an approximate time to complete the quest. Just do the math when you get those. I did my 99 str using the whip on controlled and using DDS spec to boost my str xp rates. Not the fastest way to get 99 str, but faster kills and faster drops.

They will not throw RS2 aside as they did Classic. As for the way RS will eventually die, it's really up to how mechscape will perform and/or cannibalise the customers. If mechscape bombs... then there is no doubt that RS will keep on trucking. If mechscape gets a good fan base without making a dent in the RS fanbase, then see above. If mechscape steals a large portion of fans from RS, then expect the game to slowly die in the next ... 7 - 10 years with less players playing every year (I'm pretty sure the game is viable with minimal staff and 20k players playing on average at any time). The only way to make RS appealing again if option 3 happens is the removal of the 99 cap, lots of maxed out players will come back to see how they fare against boss monsters with combat stats ranging from 100 to 120 (and more).

What you might fail to notice is that it helps the slayer complete his task faster too. He might get less xp, but he'll get faster loot while you'll get none. I love it when I set up my cannon and someone "tries to get in my way" ... it's just faster for me.

I believe in free speech, if the thread starter can remove thread that defy his opinion, then freedom of speech is denied. We give these powers to forum moderators to keep the discussion in line and keep the forums clean. I don't trust that every forum user is old or wise enough to make the right choice regarding this. Hence the reason we need forum mods. And if you don't want to be judged by your grammar : - don't write - learn proper grammar - create your own forum for drop outs I'm pretty sure in your perfect forum world that my thread would have been erased for contradicting your views.

Either permanently block them or do them. Getting similar back to back tasks has been introduced with smoking kills. If you consider that being sloppy, that's your opinion. Slayer is about killing monsters...

why don't you use the ignore list? Whinners are usually too noob to use the ignore list.

From what I read, Jagex has a lot of dumb customers. I doubt they even read the rules before playing.

trolls, hill giants, jogres all drop low level seeds (guam to ranarr) Do not suggest specters, elves, turoths, nechryeal or cave horrors as they drop high lvl herb seeds (toadflax to torstol). I would not suggest hunting for ranarr seeds on monsters. Master farmers and Manage Thy Kingdom are faster next to buying on the G.E.

F2P is the demo version of Runescape. If you want more gold rocks, you know what to do. The price of gold ores is pretty much on the spot being between 500 and 600. Market changes will keep it going up or down but I do not see what is the problem with that. EDIT: You have to take into account that the price will ajust to offer and demand from both P2P and F2P. You cannot ask Jagex to modify the price for F2P only. The only reason gold ores are that pricy is because of smithing gauntlets which are P2P. Otherwise, they would be around 200. Would you want that?

Nicely written rant, too bad for you that you didn't check the guide beforehand. Like the poster above said, get assisted.

Tutorial Island

PVP update made them so pricy. Before PVP worlds, weapon poison++ was not a viable potion to make, like most potion it would yield a loss.

For slayer, Sara GS beats every other GS hands down.

You could add in 4. have the required farming level to gather poison ivy berries and coconuts.... or have a huge stock of them...or bought them at max price on the G.E.... This is what I do actually when alching and on a crowded world I can get 400K worth of nightshade per hour. and 20k herblore xp as the end result.

Dharok, Torag, Guthan bodies are the same Dharok, Torag, Verac legs are the same. Neiti helm instead of a barrows helm btw. < Verac legs is better because of the prayer bonus. Defensewise they are the same as Ray said. I'd suggest trying chealdar for a couple of tasks. You can switch to range on monsters that are too hard for melee and if you find yourself having to make too many trips to complete your tasks, go back to vannaka until mid 70s melee. Have fun slaying!

At 90 fishing I got these results, shilo : 36k xp per hour with something like 25-30k profit monkfishs : 32k xp per hour with 105-110k profit per hour. substract the cost of 2 fish potion for both. Bear in mind that these were done without fishing boosting familiars...

Since I bought a Sara GS for slayer lately and I have 99 def, I found myself with "too much def" (meaning I would heal more with GS spec than monsters would hurt me). So I sold my guthan set and bought bandos for added prayer and str bonus and found myself with adequate defence for most monsters and a slight bonus in xp rates. At the pace I'm going lately, I'd gladly trade 10-20 defence for 1-2 more str bonus and still have enough def in conjunction with the healing effect of my GS. I don't think I'm dumb for choosing bandos over dragon as, in my case, it would be "too much def". BTW, I mostly slay for combat so this applies only to slayer with high def skill.

does a bunyip work? yeah, but the pool only spawn dead rotten fish so the scroll is a definite no...

I wish they'd introduce ways for non members to gather 2nds for summoning and herblore that have no use to them except to sell to members. Making all 2nds lower in price for the members benefits and a new way for f2pers to make money. Yeah, they deserve to make us members happy.

I only cannon 2 tasks... Daganoths under the lighthouse and Kalphites lvl 85. There are more than enough daganoths for at least 3-4 players under the lighthouse. I'll set up my cannon there without a word and leave 15 minutes later. If there is another slayer at Kalphites, I'll hop 2-3 times and then settle for the first world without a cannon "kicking" the meleer with a "sorry mate - I've hopped too many times already". But I won't feel bad about it. If the meleer stays, too bad for him and good for me as I'll be getting "half-kills" faster.

Training using controlled with the whip is better as long as there is no way to gain the same (or higher) xp/hour for strenght. I don't know the rates for sara sword for str, or how it compares to GS but from what I tested, whip still beats those on normal training. I'd advise training on controlled and DDS spec-ing on str. Make up the gap on the last levels 97-99, that's what I did and I didn't regret it. Just crossed the 29 mil XP in HP last week end. Edit: after seeing Utimalballr's last post, I guess training individually is better IF you have the means to a SS (cash-wise). I'm pretty sure that the difference between controlled and individual is very slim given these conditions. It also depends on your choice of training (slayer, best xp/gp monsters, no def monster such as rock crabs) If you need to get defence is order to train efficiently (slayer, dragons, etc...), then obviously you need to level defence, but if you train on low level monsters, you can train attack and strenght to high levels before getting to defence (this way you gain faster XP rates).

Yeah monks are better than lobbs in terms of money and xp. Fly fishing will give you a slight profit with more xp than monks and barbarian fly fishing will give you even more fishing xp but at no profit. If you are only considering lobsters and swordies, lobsters are better. Just use up your gloves than stick to lobbies. have fun fishing

yep, but anyone asking for ways to make 26 mil is a noob... Might as well give noob advice. Bank grinding is indeed gross and boring. But it also gives money... not right away but you eventually sell on the G.E. at an extremely nice profit.

They are not discontinued... You can steal them from draynor bank like the Wise Old Man did... You guys are noob for not taking that into account... Nice meaningless thread to be honest. Semantics...
