DON'T. You would lose prayer bonus, which is cruical, and void wouldn't be any better than d'hide/arma/karils. Everyone agrees that Void is better than everything else at chinchompas right? Everything applies here too. The bonus compensates for everything. None of what you're saying makes sense to me. Losing prayer bonus doesn't matter. For one thing, people chin in void, and you're praying in that case as well. Second, you're profitting. Losing some of your profit for 1-2 extra ppots shouldn't be an issue, esp. when your concern is xp, not money. What do you mean void wouldn't be any better? The trolls have plenty of hp to make it worthwhile.

You can't protect them any more, so any pker run-ins = no more brawlers. But that's the way it's meant to be. It's not meant for you to breeze through safely. It's supposed you send you into dangerous areas and make you a target. That clan idea doesn't sound too bad, though. Btw, everyone who uses brawlers forgets that you can get a huge xp boost anywhere in PvP, not just the wild. Sure it's not nearly as much, but it's better than dying halfway through the brawlers, right?

Not harder, riskier.

Jagex is working on an achievement diary cape, they said so in one of their development diaries. And a music cape would be cool, but not necessary. We already have air guitar. It seems like you just want more capes. Besides, unlocking 600 songs and doing a few 3 hour diaries comes nowhere close to the time you need to finish 150+ quests.

Cannon ice trolls

Fastest way is Karamja Gloves 3. Totally worth getting.

Oh man, other people are going to get here and think, "Were they high?"

To get down protection prayers.

Then when you hit (level 90 is it?) shadow barrage, do that. It's more effective than ice burst. I though it was smoke barrage at 91? Shadow.

What about low level pkers? I'd rather have a few level 40s rant than 26king alive.

It might be, but that's besides the point.

Google: "Runescape squirrel with a crossbow" (Image search). Second result, should be a 100x100 pixel image.

my sgs heals more then your po-taters if i hit good my unicorn can heal me bazillions of times but only takes one invy space for scrolls my monkfish are cheap and i can fish em myself :s thats why =p What flavor is SGS? Sweaty hands

Why are those 2 useless? the only fishing spot in wild is above 20 wild(way above..more like 40 wild)... chances of you surviving=~1% if you bank your fish. You could still powerfish there, but is that really in the spirit of the game?/sarcasm thieving were practically useless before...bad xp, and now you can't protect(50 wild + multi) But brawlers give 2x if in a PvP world and 4x if in the wild on a PvP world. So no brawlers are useless. You don't have to take the 4x xp when the 2x is much safer.

Well, heres some food for thought. What if you look at the fact that while you train slayer, you are getting normal exp in whatever combat style you want to use. Does that affect how much of a "reward" you should get from slayer? Because hypothetically, your MAIN goal could be to get maxed melee combats by just doing slayer tasks. So then what you are really focusing on is training melee, but then you get tons of "Free" slayer experience, without focusing to specifically train Slayer. Very true. However, consider this: After a certain point, slayer xp is useless. That is different for different people. For most, it's after broad bolts/slayer dart at 55. There's little point in gaining anything after that, unless you simply want slayer levels. So unless you're going for 99/maxing, there is little point in training slayer after your break-off point. In addition, slayer is much, much slower xp than simply camping at the ideal monster. Dhing skeleton monkeys is 140k+ xp per hour. Slayer is half of that, at best. Armored Zombies are also over twice as much xp than slayer, and it includes that precious "profit" that slayer "offers". So if you really wanna look at the rewards v. time, slayer is pointless. Your greatest reward in slayer (at the present time), is the ability to use broad bolts and slayer dart. (Correct if you think I'm wrong, but I'm certain that every "reward" past level 55 has a better alternative that requires lower/no slayer.) After that, slayer xp is pointless, so you are essentially more than halving your xp for added no benefit. Of course, this argument is negated if you're aiming for the slayer skill cape. What are the "benefits" of slayer? According to Jagex, it's money and xp. Money: I've proven this, there are tons of better options that slayer. Xp: Slayer gives you much slower melee xp, not to mention ranged and magic. What about total levels? In all the time you saved, you could get many more total levels in skills such as fletching or cooking. So what good is slayer xp? It's good for level 55 and level 99, otherwise, it's pointless as well. It needs better rewards, but that could mean anything. Slayer needs better rewards for the huge amount of time and effort it requires. We don't need to give slayer an update like Spiritual Mages. The boots were way too cheap and they came way too often. We need something like boss monsters for slayer. Then there may be some point. I'd like to reassert that I also love slayer. My slayer level is fairly high and it's how I train my combat stats. I train slayer because I enjoy it. However, it is far too lacking in its rewards. If you name me one benefit of slayer, I bet you I could name you a non-slayer alternative that can do far better. Slayer is a great skill with great potential. But it needs better rewards.

To the abandoned keep, I believe.

No godbooks give negative ranged bonus, and I'm pretty sure the same goes for Spirit Shields. Best offensively would be the unholy book. Best defensively would be any of the spirit shields. Sigil shields cost a lot, but a normal blessed spirit shield only costs 2m. That's a lot cheaper than the DFS, and it doesn't give a negative ranged bonus the DFS does. All you sacrifice is a tiny bit of defense.

Why are those 2 useless?

Maybe more people will do Duel Tournaments now? Prospect of winning big, and it's safe as well.

They dont yield a profit do they? But then it would accomplish the purpose.

pizza = pastry : a lot of the votes probably came from f2p people who use lobsters/swordfish. That's what I put too. But in the back of my mind, my head was screaming to me that a pastry was referring to pies and cakes.

Or they just get piled by a team of 10 dds'ers.
