See if you can find the P++ first. Finding someone in a crowded world at Edgeville with Super Weapon Poison should be farily easy. Herblorists hang out there and sell Potions all the time, and odds are they have more than a few P++ in their bank. If you find the poison, you can buy the dagger in Zanaris. But if you can't find the poison, it's far easier to just go to Edgeville and say "Buying DDP++ 55K"

The "official" PC world is 78.

In hopes of being less un-helpful... They are in the Dorgesh-Kaan Slayer dungeon. You need to buy a slayer bell from one of the slayer masters, stand next to one of the Molanisks, and ring the bell. Then it will jump off the wall, and you can kill it.

I just did. They're both 17 paces from bank to furnace.

Alright, Dorgesh Kaan is out. I came, I saw, I thieved, I slayed (I couldn't agilitate or craft), I sold some food for a few gee-pees, I traded a bone or two for gee-pees and construction XP... now what? I guess it was an interesting diversion, but I don't really have a reason to ever visit it again. I don't see any improvements in training options for me there. Is the crafting and agility experience so above and beyond what's currently out there to make this rather sizeable update worth the effort? Or is this place destiined to be as hustling and bustling as Keldagrim?

They are both close, but I really think Neitiznot is closer than Port Phasmatys.

I think the only other possible answer would be the mines outside Piscatoris Fishing colony. Absent the completion of the quest "Swan Song", however, the rocks NE of Yanille are it.

If I was a betting man, I would wager that: 1. There will be three boats for different levels; 2. The lower-level boat will go to a different island, and be easier to do than current PC; 3. The higher-level boat will be go to yet another island, and be far harder to do than current PC; 4. The mid-level boat will stay exactly the same; and 5. You can only get on the lander that suits your level, otherwise you get less of a reward or something. Well, that's how it SHOULD be anyway.

I'm not being critical of you. I'm just trying to pass on something I've learned since acheiving the same goal that you'd set for yourself. It's very anti-climactic. But if you are going to go for it, in F2P, it's either steel or silver bars. No Addy, no Mithril. First of all, it's far easier to mine iron and coal than it is to mine mithril and 50% more coal. When combining mining and smithing, it's about 2x as fast. Silver is even better. Because if you're F2P smithing, you have a full inventory to smith at one time, rather than just 9 bars. Your run energy recovers, you get more XP per run, etc. Plus it's pretty fast to mine, especially if you can get into the crafting Guild. What's more, silver bars, if sold in bulk, will fetch a nice price from P2P craftsmen, between 300-400 each.

As someone who has 86 smithing, let me ask you this: why? Even at my smithing level in P2P, I still largely smith iron bars, then iron knives and cannonballs. Unless you're P2P using the blast furnace, smithing anything else is basically a waste (the Blast Furnace is fast XP if world hopping and making mithril arrowheads, to be fletched later on). As I transition over to F2P, I won't be smithing anything. It's pointless. There is no money in smithing Addy or Rune bars. The money is in the mining of the ores. Save yourself the time. Go for 99 woodcutting. At least there's a little bit of money in that.

Yews are not 5x faster than mages. At my woodcutting level (83) with a Dragon Axe, I'm cutting around 250 yews/hour, or about 130+ mages/hour. I make considerably more money, albeit less XP, cutting mages. Granted, I have the choice of cutting in Lleyeta, or using my own personal mage tree and the mage tree next to it in the Gnome Stronghold.

There's no saying that you can't plant all the allotments, go do the Sorceress's Garden, wait for your crops to grow, harvest, re-plant, and go back to the Sorceress's Garden again. But as was mentioned, that'll all just be gravy on top of planting trees. That's without question the best way to raise farming. I like to plant herbs, go do stuff while wearing my Amulet of Nature, and then harvest and re-plant my herbs once my Amulet tells me my crops are done. I have a good 75 minutes between herb plantings to go do whatever.

Even better for red spider's eggs. You get about 4-5 red spider's eggs per kill, but only about 3 unicorn horns. And I find spidines easier to kill.

Thanks for taking the time to post, but I know where to get snakeweed. Re-reading my post, I can see my question came out less-than-clear. My question is: "is Sanfew's Serum tradeable or not". The reason I can't determine if it is, is because I don't feel like going to all the trouble of gathering snakeweed, if someone here on Tip.it knows the answer.

I've heard in-game that the new potion "Sanfew Serum" is untradeable. I don't have any Snakeweed to make one and test it out, so does anyone know if Sanfew's Serum is, in fact, tradeable?

Are you sure that you didn't leap to far ahead? Check the Quest tab in your control panel, and look at "Family Crest". Make sure it says "I have to go defeat Cromonton (sp)". I know when I did it, I got rather excited and didn't have the conversations with the son prior to having to kill the Demon. So I had to go back to speak to the feller, I think use anti-poison on him, and only after that did the Demon then drop the piece.

Based on my limited experienced, Strength is really the way to go. I got my Attack up higher than all my other skills, naively thinking I'd start hitting dramatically more often. Any improvement is rather negligible, and it's disheartening to see folks with combat levels 10-15 below mine hit almost as often, but much, much harder. What's more, once you have big-league damage power, you can train Attack and Defense much faster (as you're doing more damage). The arguments for high defense for runecrafting make sense, and I hadn't thought about that before. If I'd known better, though, I'd have left Attack and Defense at 70, and worked entirely on Strength.

Two "goal" quests should be (1) Royal Trouble and (2) In Aid of the Myrenque, so you can (1) Manage your own Kingdom and (2) do Barrows easily. Do all the quests required to get those done, for starters.

I might be mistaken, but I thought you could only get Barrows gloves upon completion of the "Recipe for Disaster" quest. I don't think quest points matter, per se.

Shilo is, without question, the fastest fishing XP in the game. Monkfish maybe be considerably more profitable, but the XP is Shilo.

An Abyssal Whip in one hand and a Prayer Book in the other > two-handed Veracs Flail. Totally worth the investment.

Did that. "Nothing interesting happens". Used a knife, too. Same result. Even high alched one. Nothing.

In the big scheme of things, a 2.5% improvement on woodcutting might save someone anywhere from 4-8 hours along the way to 99. I've done about 3 hours of Temple Trekking and only have 2/4 items. So bear in mind, it may take you more time to acquire the items than they will end up saving you woodcutting to 99.

I've played several hours of Temple Trekking since the update, and have about 12 nails to show for it. Maybe a future update will make these things worthwhile (like a new monster that does all thoe three things to you), but I don't think you're going to see a whole lot of these "Sanfew's Serum" floating around.

Full lumberjack can be stored in the Armor Case in your POH, too. I guess I'll try for it.
