The Underground Pass quest could probably be adapted to an action/horror movie pretty well. Remove the emphasis on item collecting, make the giant spider and Iban encounters much more eerie. The atmosphere is already there... Cast: Main Character - [M] [M enters a cave] [Eerie silence, footsteps echo] [bat flies overhead] Guy by fire: It's horrible, it's horrible, the rest of my team has been taken to the depths! *dies* - Random monster attacks, main character escapes, kills the weaker ones - Shadowy red eyes appear randomly, with spooky whispers. Ok, it could use a bit of work, but it's definitely possible. A Soul's Bane could also be made into a horror flick, but it would be a bit short.

I must disagree :D My construction is my lowest skill at the moment, but only because I trained it for slightly more than 3 hours, then promptly ran out of cash :XD: Thieving WAS one of my favorite skills in classic. Now it sucks. But still better than some skills. I still like it, only got 4 levels since RS2 update though. (Level 95 now) Agility... was useless until they made the shortcuts. Sure training it sucks, but it pays off when you can go to blue dragons so simply. Herblore? Stop whining and buy the waterfilled vials 250 each if you're so lazy :XD: Farming is easy once you can grow trees, but I'm spending more on it than I did on construction.

Kill things! (I'm probably the what, fifth, tenth, twentieth? person to say that?)

Even if they are no longer the most popular things to do, people will still use them for such things as: > Portals - very good long-term investment. Saves a law rune per trip to ardougne, trollheim, yanille, or canifis. Bloods for canifis as well. > Altars - the highest altar is a lot more convenient than ecto-funging. > Barrows - The combination of portal to canifis (with normal magic, no less) and altar lets you create an insanely fast trip. > Infinite Glory Charges - That's a given ;) > Mahogany Lecterns - One-click teleports that don't require a mage level to use, don't give experience, and can teleport straight to a safe zone (house)? Something tells me pures will be using these often soon. Those are the ones I have experience with myself.

The slash attack seems accurate, at least. I have +128 without fire cape and without warrior ring, so...

Heh, lots of people are still oblivious about that ;)

Monsters drop a bit, but their high level drops (mauls, knives, rings, etc) sell for high tokkul in the shop. I've been killing them for a bit, and I've gotten 61k tokkul so far, along with 7 obsidian capes and 3 shields, which I sold for gp instead.

He's got it. Even though DJQ appears to send you nowhere it is correct. Yup. I can confirm that.

How much did you invest, and how many herbs were ranarrs? I presume that was about 20 days worth?

Death talismans are also a drop for the 90 slayer Dark Beast.

Thieving!

I think it would be useful to put the firemaking levels for burning each shade/key, if you're making a comprehensive guide.

I agree with that too. Add POH's to that list, case it gets really annoying when you get MOM's in your house while throwing a party. And what sort of macro would attend a party? The main thing that prevents them doing that is alching, I believe. Any place with any safe spots is a prime spot for hi alching.

You mean seeds, not coins? And yeah, I'm pretty sure you can't thieve clue scrolls. I believe you get seeds thieving as well, although it's been a while. Hams and Ham guards are the only ones that you can pickpocket clues from.

I sold mine for 1000 sharks, which is ~1M. But they do seem to be pretty rare. I had about 500 more kills and I didn't get another one yet. Has anyone gotten more than one?

An easy way to make sure would be to keep talking to him. If he gives the same totem each time, you might have something there.

I average about 1min 30seconds on world 78. Actually it has been a little faster ever since the update (more people playing). that is ton's faster... 150 minutes which would be 2 and half hours...which is about 60k xp an hour, which is pretty dang good xp...you dont get hits like you do normal monsters training, but you also get some cash... this is very well a great update.. If you work as a clan, you can get around 45 seconds per game average.

Chant with me. THIEVING UPDATE! THIEVING UPDATE! THIEVING UPDATE! That will be all.

Anyone want to try it with a normal-like thieving level? ;)

No half shields though, unfortunately :(

Well, I finally got around to finishing the Death to the Dorgeshunn quest, and being a bit curious, I decided to thieve the keys from the guards. First, the disclaimer is that I'm relatively high thieving, and these tactics might not work for you. That said, I was amazed at the speed I got keys. About one in every two picks was a key. I noticed that almost every single item gotten from the chests alched for more than 300 gp, and in a lot of cases, for well more than that. So I bought 100 nature runes for 30k, and decided to go to the chests. In about 3 minutes, I thieved a full load of keys. Opening the chests, I alched all the gemmed items I got, and just dropped the gold (amulets, rings, necklaces), and about 15 minutes, I had over 30k in alched money, as well as 50 natures left. So in 15 minutes, I got 50 alchs worth of experience for free, and if I stayed for the entire 100 natures, I'm sure I would have gotten at least double gold. So while it's not the fastest way of making money, nor the fastest way of getting mage xp, if you want a guaranteed way of making money, is this good? Discuss :P

I like the dragon spear special. It's good for thieving and getting a hero trapped in a house.

I knew someone had it!

Well, don't know if anyone stated this yet, but wrong. This is a close approximation, but it is not the actual formula. And the 84 sucks! ;) TI-89 Platinum all the way. Symbolic manipulation rocks.

Yes, but then, why would a J mod need to alch? He could convert bronze arrows into 1m gp each, I suppose, just to amuse people. They can turn water into wine! (Just add grapes)
