Definatly the d long and dds! Just because the d scimmy has haeder requirements to wield it doesn't make it better in any way. I mean the godsword takes 75 att to wield the whip take 70, but the whip is a way better att/def training weapon. Same goes for the DFS and d-sqaure. D square requires a quest DFS doesn't.. Yet the dragon fire shield (when fully charged) is the best shield in the game. ------ I say try both, d long and d scimmy, and see what you like best and what works for you.

The best and easiest to sell would be the forums + w2. In w2 you can sell all lower rares right next to where guthans is sold. If you are looking to sell a phat, then you have to go outside the fally walls. Walk east along the outside of the north fally wall, keep your eyes out for a group of white dots, those are the phat sellers/buyers on "Phat hill". This is also your best course of action to buy a rare as well. Here is a picture, thanks to Truthscape

RC'in and monster hunting are the only 350k/hour things in the game. :? Its just one of those things you gotta do. Just gotta get down and dirty and do it for the sake of your other goals. I mean I don't want to RC either but I sure as heck can see myself doing it to get 99 pray and a Party hat, 2 of my other goals. Unlike you though, I have alot more options on monster hunting though because I'm higher combat. Also, if getting a sara sword is going to burn holes into your pixel pockets, then why not just get a d scimmy (i prefer long :-# ) and train slayer until you can come close to getting a sara sword. I like Kranked's idea of barrowing until you can get the items you want, maybe not all of them but some of them. Also, don't worry about barrow prices, although they are on the lower end, they do add up quite quickly. All it takes is a v helm and guth spear and your rolling around in 5-6m. Which is a fourth of a sara sword cost. I am sure barrowing some money would take a month or 2, but in the end it would probably be worth it. The runes and bolt racks would keep adding up and the odd d med will be a quick 100k. So hey, its pretty worth it I would say. Plus you could get some of the barrow items you want for slayer(Guthans and Ahrims[? I dont mage while doing slayer :oops: ]) I know you said you have a bad connection but yea you could at least give it a stab. BTW with your 2 week holiday coming up, doesn't that mean you can stay on for more than an hour at a time? I would definatly advise giving DK's a try. And you don't even have to go through the pain of finding a partner as you have one in this forum. :-k ---- Thats just my 2 cents (more like a dollar but eh, short and sweet never was my thing)

I think that pretty much covers it all :thumbsup: Maybe ruby (e) bolts if you want to get the job done a bit faster. As for a guide. Just youtube it, I saw some pretty good guides there myself.

Still the best, you could world hop until there is a world not infested with this pityful new update... I mean I guess you could do Ape Atoll with agil pots or try out that penguin course.

If they would of done this in the first place they wouldn't of had to put up with a week from hell. Riots and rants.. a severe decline in the number of members renewing their memberships for another month. #-o :-w We shall see what the future brings. :pray:

Correct choice in my opinion. After the current confusion, Best to stick with the rare, if you are concerned with the value of your items. Long term the pricing on Rares will still climb (albeit nowhere near as erratically and dramatically in the past), and godswords.....hard to say, It will be a slow drop in my opinion, but I think they will drop Oh they will drop. As more and more come into the game the price will drop as more and more people will be trying to get rid of them. Keeping the phat was a good choice, IMO, as well.

The new wildy update made pure ess prices skyrocket. Easy, "risk free" runecrafting. (lack of abyss pkers) No more bots mining and selling. A lack or supply and a huge demand made prices jump by 40-50 each. :roll: ---- OT: Honestly, it is hard to give you advice on what to spend money on if you don't let us know what you are doing with your armor or interesting in doing. I could tell you to buy 5m worth of buckets... but what would that accomplish? :-s Telling you to buy supplies for fletching when you are planning on cooking would be kinda pointless, ya know? What are your plans and what do you plan on doing.

do the wilderness course until 70. At 70 till 99 do the Ape Atoll Course.

bumpity

Lost my amulet .. :oops: :-w get another one the same way you got the first?? :-w

You will NOT be getting 300k exp an hour until you hit 91 thieving and even then 300k an hour is a rare occurance (correct me if I am wrong)

99 FM from her current level (53) would take 143k willow logs. At 20 each thats about 2.8m (2,864,000 to be exact) Max burn per hour is generally known to be what 1k an hour without distractions. (I'll make distractions a 2% decrease from 1k an hour) So your max logs per hour is what 1k*2% = 980 an hour. (not much of a diff but it adds up, trust me) At 980 an hour it would take about 145 hours to complete. Seeing as how there is only 168 hours in a week, I would say no you cant get it in a week unless you got 3 hours and 20 mins of sleep every night and spent the rest of the day fm'in. HIGHLY unlikely. ---- OT: :P Fletching, Cooking and Thieving are among the fastest 99's. Cheapest: Thieving, I would have to say is, the cheapest since you only spend money on lobbies and anti-poison pots (if you didn't do Great Brain Robbery quest) and if you save all of your gold artifacts and bank them, they can help pay for some of your supplies. Fastest: Cooking is by far the fastest Cape to get in the game. Once you hit 94 you can be netting over 200k an hour cooking sharks with cooking guants. Up until 94, do lobbies or if you have money to burn you can do sharks at 80-99 but you will burn ALOT and that is losing ALOT of money.

I would still do Lighthouse personally. I forget if its multi, but I believe it is NOT multi-combat. Lunar Diplomacy is NOT needed to get there. In-fact only Fremmy Trials is required to get to waterbirth. (correct me if I am wrong)

Use a bone c-bow Train at fire giants under the waterfall. Best place IMO. Only slower exp to using chins at Ape Atoll which is not worth it from lvl 70-80 :notalk:

I personally would say maples. I mean 50 or under each per maple is a great price for the fm exp you get. They are alot faster than willows and marginally slower than yews. If you got the cash for yews and/or magics by all means be my guest and get 99 fm the fastest way possible. But if you're low on cash, maples are your friend.

Thanks cat your suggestions were very helpful. Deaths are 299 (300 :roll: ) each now still. Unless they took a hit recently. Anyone else that can help?

You fail the penguin course alot I hear. Why can't you go into wildy?? The agil course is still there if I am not mistaken. It would just be best to wear d hide :?

Stick with woodcutting because 99 fishing from un-ranked would be even longer than 99 wc from 85. Also 99 cooking from un-ranked may also be a tedious task, and without cooking guants I think it will get even more bleh. It's your decision really, but your first 99 should be something you can enjoy, that way it doesn't seem like it is taking forever, even if it does in fact take forever : . Make sense? :-s

Definatly mossies. You will get more kills if you do moss giants. Fires don't really become that good to kill until 75-80 and from there are the best till 99. Plus if you go to fires with under 75 range, people may complain that you are taking to long to kill them and that can get annoying for you.

Isn't it hard now with Zammy safespot gone? Yes the Zammy safespot is gone. Making him, in my most humbled opinion, harder than Bandos. Seeing as how I haven't been to Sara or Armadyl I can't tell you if they are easier. However since their hilts are so expensive it means there are less of them in the game, which also means they are harder to kill. Or at least that makes sense eh? :-s --- Anyways to answer your question simply and short, you can NOT solo any of the bosses effectively. They are near impossible to solo and would be more trouble than its worth seeing as it would take one or two trips to kill Bandos general (as he is the easiest) and you would only get 1 kill per trip if you managed to get that kill in one trip. Yeh it got confusing at the end there but its the truth.

Sorry for all the HUGE letters and different colors... but that is the only way people seem to read things :roll: Again my apologies :-# :oops:

I decided to make a thread about all the questions I have rolled up into one. PLEASE COPY AND PASTE WHATEVER QUESTION IT IS YOU ARE ANSWERING AND POST A ANSWER RIGHT AFTER IT IN A DIFFERENT COLOR. ALSO QUOTING IT WOULD BE NICE AS WELL... IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, JUST ORGANIZED. If you don't want to read the whole thing read the bold blue words :roll: ... Anyways here we go... it begins :ohnoes: First Subject: Mourners End Part 2... (dun dun dunnnnn!) MEP2 Completed ---- Second Subject: Guilded Alters (short and sweet) 1- Question answered. ---- Third Subject:Mithril Dragons (prefer experienced mith drag hunters)(Please don't refer me to Truthscape's guide or any other guide. Unless it is a Video guide with audio commentary!) 1- Is 88 range good enough?? or should I man up and get 90?? 2- What is the drop rate of a Dragon Full helm here?? 3- What is the drop rate of a Vissage here? 4- What is the drop rate of chewed bones here? 5- What are the chances of getting a DFH from chewed bones after lighting a pyre? 6- What are the chances of getting an ancient page? 7- Truthscape mentions 14-16k per trip (cost of invent).. is this easily gained back per trip (at least 3 drags at most 6) ---- Fourth Subject:Runecrafting (some opinion ?'s too) 1- Answered 2- Do you think the price of deaths will drop below 250 each after January? 2.1- Do you think cosmics will be at least 150 ea once January hits? (double cosmics may be more than deaths :| ) 3- Do you think 91 runecrafting will even be a "guaranteed" phat as it has been in the past? (thats 61-91 rc not 91+ rcin) 4- Will getting 91 rc even be worth it?? (not total lvl wise, but through a money making point of view) ---- Fifth Subject:Miscellaneous Questions (the end is near :pray: ) 1- Do you think Phats will drop drastically with the new update in January? 2- How much longer do YOU think runescape will be around? 3- Do you like pizza or prefer Stromboli?? 4- Collecting all the Ancient pages will get me what exactly?? 5- For 99 Con is it best to buy oak logs and then plank myself (or with a butler) or oak planks? 5.1- How much MORE time would it take with me planking myself? 6- 99 Con is best through oak larders until I can make oak doors and then do doors till 99, correct? 6.1- How much MORE would it cost to have butler bank/unbank for me?? 7- What would be the best way to get a yellow party hat? (Note: I already plan on rcin. NO slayer is not the best way to make money and NO I will NOT go to GWD with a team, at least not past January :roll: ) ---- FINALLY!!! It's over, arn't you glad I didn't make that into multiple posts :shock: :anxious: As for the questions about how much longer RS will be around... DO NOT FLAME me about it. It is a simple question of OPINION. I am NOT saying the new updates ruined the game.. but there is speculation. Only time will tell. I am curious of other peoples THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS.

Firstly you did waste your money.. D skirt is just as good as legs and about 900k cheaper to boot.. Yeah I know "But skirts are for girls!!" blah blah.. I would rather buy a 175k skirt and spend the extra near 900k on something else than buy d legs and be piss poor. As for prayer... you have to remember for some things praying can be a waste of money. Why waste prayer pots on infernal mages when you can have high defence and wear dragon hide. Also without defence your chances of going monster hunting for that new rare drop are pretty boned. Unless you are a pure I would say get your defence up and seeing as how there is no point to pure accts anymore, get your def UP.

Your question answered ------------ PC really doesn't become the "best" exp until after level 100 combat and 90 in the stat of your choosing.
