Darn... that's some serious money making right there.

True :)

Having harvested over 30k herbs I can say that 7 per seed is too high. I'd say it's more like an average of 6, including an occassional death of a herb. If you prevent all your herbs from dying it might be possible to get an average of 7, but I doubt someone will continuously keep track of their patches.

Congratulations. Only 240k+ people have achieved this before you. Truly amazing.

Pentium D's are terrible in terms of temperature. Heard really bad stuff about it. I wouldn't recommend it. Playing with the FSB probably wouldn't hurt, and you could be able to squeeze a bit more out of your cpu, but you haven't exactly picked the best platform for it. Being a prebuild doesn't really matter by the way. Just check the bios for the settings in which you can adjust the FSB. Just move it up a few ticks and see if it boots, and keep an eye on the temperature. After that, just run some stress tests and check if it stays stable. Anyways, what do you want to achieve with overclocking? More speed in games? Won't help you, since the integrated graphics greatly limit you in improving the performance. Yes, was about to say that. Depending on who manufactured your computer, Dell for instance. Dell uses mostly there own hardware as do a lot of other PC manufactures so it is hard to find and trust custom BIOSs. I suppose you could google around but i wouldn't risk it to over clock that CPU to be honest with you. I mean if you did screw it up you could pry get a new CMOS chip or try resetting it. Again i don't think it is really worth screwing it. If your computer manufacture didn't use there own hardware and used something you could find a BIOS for i would try that but this is always open to big issues messing with something like this. EDIT: I do remember an application that you could get that would over clock but i completely forget what it was. Dell doesn't use their own hardware. They use standard hardware, like Intel processors or ATI graphic cards. They do customize, yeah, but the hardware is pretty much the same (and that's also why Dell is such a rip), and overclocking is still possible. Usually it's possible to change the FSB speeds and such. Very basic overclocking. You can't really screw much up if you handle it with care. Just up the FSB with small increments and keep an eye on the temperature. If you set the FSB too high, your pc will probably crash, and you can then reset the settings in the bios.

I'd like to see a link, quote or some other kind of proof.

It would be awkward if slayer was the most effective way for combat xp, charms, money and what not. It would defeat the whole purpose of "normal" combat. Slayer is designed for variety, special monsters, special drops and other fun elements, like the slayer points. There's more to slayer than just the xp. I don't like fighting monsters with no reason, but with slayer I enjoy it. As for the topic starter.. you seem to be wanting to get levels for GWD. Therefore slaying has no real purpose for you. Just do the most effective way, which seems to be armoured zombies, as displayed in this and other topics.

What makes you think you know anything about their selection procedure?

Runescape doesn't require anything from you. You can play it 80 hours a week.. or just half an hour. It's entirely up to you. There's not a single obligation. Also, games are played for fun. For enjoyment, relaxation, whatever. Is that wasting time? I don't think so. Runescape is what you make out of it.

A whip works just fine. A crush weapon isn't really needed.

I lol'ed.

WSOD's have been fixed. White screen is only in individual cases. All models crash occasionally. That's not the Zen's fault, it's yours. Same goes for all models. The Zen V is a lot older and quite a different player. Your personal experiences aren't representative aswell. And to all you "the X player got me troubles" people. That's a useless comment. Those "N=1" statements hold no meaning. Allright, my personal opinion. I'd pick the Zen X-Fi due to the fact it gives a lot of bang for the buck. It's easily expandable by cheap SD-cards, and it has some neat features. The Clix is a very good player aswell, and a close second, imo. The iPod lacks features and sound quality. Wouldn't go for it. It has absolutely nothing special, except for the hype.

Allthough I do wish to be able to play in a world where no <16 year olds are allowed, it's not going to happen. Jagex likes babysitting too much for that.

Another "N=1" thread. Someone does something bad, and suddenly a whole group gets a bad rap. Also, lvl 108 isn't high. There must be a million people around that level. /thread.

Oh, crap no. I recommend any of the Nokia N series. Ericsson may look good, but they are really low quality. Nonsense. SE has a good overall quality. Check the reviews. Regardless whether you like their phones or not, you can't deny the fact they're one of the A brands. Your point being? Nokia likes washing machines? Not that Nokia is bad by the way. @topic starter: You might want to tell us what you specifically like in a phone. What's happening now is that everyone just mentions their favorite phone, which isn't very constructive. I'd say it's best if you'd point out for yourself what you want in a phone and give us a list where we can base our advice on.

Great! This is definitely useful :)

So I've decided to kill some of them. Can anyone explain what the best setup is? I've heard about the need of the darklight, and use 2 different types of attack (range/melee), but I'd like a complete setup and tactic. Would be appreciated if anyone can provide a quick walkthrough :)

So, I'm reading a lot of interesting things here. Can anyone give a summary of what to take, and which tactic to use?

It's quite simple. Just take your ordinary melee equipment, perhaps a pray pot if your pray is low (but I doubt it's needed. I can protect melee the whole fight and use piety with it). Next to that take some food (monks are good enough) to cover for the hit that the dragon'hai mage will inflict on you. He hits once in 20-30 seconds or something, so nothing to be afraid of.

Burthorping is a waste due to the fact you won't be getting slayer points if you skip tasks. I'd say never to skip a task. And if you find Chaeldar too hard, use a more easy slayer master and use Chaeldar for every 10th and 50th task.

Therefore "cheap" is a useless qualification.

Wait what? No, that's a fact. If you spend 2 hours to save 100k, while you could do the same in half an hour with spending that amount of money, you effectively used 1,5 hour for 100k. You could also just spend the money and use the 1,5 hour to make money with -let's say- runecrafting, thus making up for all the losses plus making extra cash. A certain time span can only be used once, so effectiveness is advisable. Though you could just do whatever you want, since it's a game. But there's no denying in the fact that time = money. Also, I don't know what you want to say with "keep track of when certain things will happen". That sounds like gibberish to me. Then go ahead, but don't portray your opinion as a fact.

Woodcutting, mining and runecrafting cost a lot more time then firemaking, cooking or fletching, thus making them less cost-effective. Because we all know time is money. There's a lot more involved than just money. If a skill is very cheap AND fast to get to 99, people will pick that skill as their 99 skill they wish to achieve. They won't just spend months of powertraining in the desert clicking on rocks just to save a few million gp. Your statement is false. Everybody cooks. Look at how many people have 99 cooking. An incredible amount of people. People will remain cooking without the possibility of firemaking. Seriously, which cooker relies on the firemaking skill? There are plenty of possibilities, and fast ones, to *not* use the firemaking skill. For example... rogue's den. Everyone can use it, and it's about the fastest way possible. Don't forget woodcutting is much more useful. Cutting logs yields money, and less clicking is always a plus. A lot of people probably prefer a functional 99 over a useless 99. And no, 99 Firemaking is NOT easier than 99 Cooking. If your smart, Cooking is cheaper than Firemaking and Cooking requires a few clicks to cook a whole bag. Firemaking yet I say again, requires two clicks for every log. But still, it costs a lot, A LOT, more time than firemaking. Therefore the easyness of the 99 boils down to a personal preference. Noticed.

Noob doesn't have a meaning anymore. It originally comes from the word "newbie" which pretty much means "new player". Since the word got abused by people who probably got annoyed and found the need to use to swear or offend someone, the word noob doesn't mean anything anymore. And every attempt to stop trying to label people as noobs will probably be futile. The most people that use the word noob in every context possible aren't the brightest people around.

It's dropping already?
