I have to cast 8138 high alchs to get to level 70 - is there anything I can just buy right off the GE and buy a nature with it, and when I high alch, it comes out even, or only losing a little money? Right now I'm looking at emerald bracelets, I lost about 660k alching them all. Anything better?

yew longs lose about 60gp per alch

 

(buy off players)

 

 

 

an alternative superheating mith

 

loss of 50gp buying all materials with a gain of smithing exp also

I think I'll go with the yew longs - do I buy them strung or unstrung, and where do I buy them?

strung...

Read a good book. I recommend the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy :

 

 

 

 

 

High-alch is unique because it offers a way of training magic without a bank and without combat. You also stay right where you are.

 

Below are some ideas for activities with built-in "break" times that you can fill by high alching:

 

 

 

* Mine ores from slow spawning ores, such as Runite in the Heroes' guild.

 

* Watch duels in the duelling Arena and throw the occasional tomato.

 

* Thieve from slow spawning stalls and chests. It's especially useful to steal from a nature chest.

 

* Buy stock that slowly spawns in certain shops such as the Culinaromancer's chest in the basement of Lumbridge Castle.

 

* Hang around in crowded merchanting hot spots and look out for good deals.

 

* Farm an important crop like Ranarr or other high level herbs that you want to watch carefully.

 

 

I'd add hunting to that list. I personally suggest pest control. Guard the void knight using fire strike. Then hi-alch whenever there aren't any monsters around. You might have trouble making it to 50 zeal, but no worries.
