Members advice after 2 years away

What up players!!!

So i see there are some new capes out so i figure i may as well check them out, and maybe get a few cmb levels while i'm at it.

Haven't played seriously in many many years, just looking for some advice.

Where should a level 99 train for a few cmb levels? Mostly atk training. Something semi fast but not completely boring. Also, what is some decent armour?

Are whips still good?

I have 80 atk str def. 17 mil cash and full sara which i could sell.

Any help is appreciated

>Slayer is always a good option, it's good variety so it doesn't get too dull, and can lead to some nice drops later on. It's not the fastest exp, but if you ever intend to want slayer levels for any reason in the future, you'll be glad you did it.

 

Also, what is some decent armour?

>I'm assuming the username in your sig is you, so I'm using the stats on highscores. At your level, barrows armor will do you well, I believe the top/bottom from torag's and dharok's sets are basically interchangeable in terms of stats (though you may opt for a verac plateskirt, but not brassard, if you want a little extra prayer boost). Either way, just check prices and see what's affordable for you. You might want to save up for a set of bandos, as the strength bonus is nice for higher levels.

For a helm, definitely get a black mask if you're doing slayer (also, do Smoking Kills quest- slayer is a thousand times better with it completed!).

If you have not yet done Recipe for Disaster, do as many of the sidequests as you can. The gloves you get from there are among the best in the game.

Add onto that a pair of dragon boots, amulet of glory (working your way up to a fury as you get more cash), and a dragon defender (you get this pretty much the same way you got a rune defender in the past).

 

Are whips still good?

>Yes, whips are still a great weapon. The top melee training weapon now though is the chaotic rapier, which you can get after training your dungeoneering skill up to 80. It's a lot better than the whip, plus it has a strength training option. Give dungeoneering a try and if you like it, work on getting a rapier as soon as you can.

 

 

As a side note, I see that your summoning is not ranked on highscores. You'll want to get that up as soon as possible, it's invaluable for combat training and extremely useful in most aspects of the game. Particularly when you get healing familiars, like the bunyip, combat will never be the same.

Good luck getting used to everything again! If you have questions or just want someone to chat with, feel free to add me, username is Norriie :]

Wear Barrow's armour, it's cheap. Dragon square shield is good for defence, dragon boots are popular, get some barrows gloves from RFD (good fun quest that), use a glory since furies are stupidly expensive, wear a neit helm if not slaying, in whcih case wear a black mask.

 

If you want to get excellent melee xp I suggest you get hold of a salve amulet (e) and go train on zombie monkeys under the temple of marimbo in ape atoll.

I'm not an efficienado.

^This.

 

However, I would take some time and opt for a Dragon Defender.

There's nothing really better then it and you usually won't need the few defense points difference from the Dragon Square Shield (if you do - just bring more food or use better food)

 

Also, don't get a fighter's torso like Gold Tatze said - it simply takes too long for it to be of any value

Like Helm said, get a black mask - some guthans armor for the body/legs (verac works nicely), dragon boots, a berserker ring, and the best RFD gloves but if you can't get dragon/barrow - go get a regen bracelet instead.

^That explains slayer gear. Slayer is not as fast as powertraining in terms of melee xp but it's the fastest way to max attack/defence/strength/hitpoints/ranged/summoning/slayer together.

I already have torso banked, and i think i have a rune defender banked already as well. how long do you think it would take me to get dragon? day ?

It's way too easy to get a dragon defender. It'll take you maybe 2 hours at most.

Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous.
