chenw Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 1. Skill capes remain the best all around capes, but for specific styles it is beaten by: Magic: God capeMelee: Fire cape and TokHaar-KalRanged: Ava's Alerter 2. Excalibur was recently nerfed to t72, so that combination no longer works compared to whats available. Dual wield has been updated that it is generally considered to be superior to 2h in most cases (not so much for ranged weapons, dual and 2h are relatively equal). With your cash pile you can just about afford a pair of Drygore maces, which are the best melee weapons available at the moment. Royal Crossbow is still good, though Ascension crossbows are a tier higher (you probably won't be able to afford a set with 150m). I haven't done any testing with staves, but for most intents and purposes, if you have T70 or higher wand and book, use that over any staff. GWD armor sets (Nex armors, Bandos, Armadyl and Subjugation) are quite good with the damage boost, and Nex sets are considered to be the best all around armor. I'd put priority in weapons over armors though as weapons give bigger upgrades. 3. Nope, no new ones since the release of EoC 4. Battlefield is the fastest way to get tears, by a long shot. Skilling with mixed killing random strays is what I do, and I average over 1k tears an hour (granted, I only get 2k tears a day, since the last 1k takes about as long as the 2k, and I only need 2k a day). 5. No idea, but Dwarf weed have taken the crown for being the most expensive herb in the game, with lantadymes being second. Torstol is now only 3rd place. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Hedgehog Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Your best option is to get over not wanting to buy maces.All skill plots yield the same tears/hour, but fishing is the slowest, so it's more efficient to focus on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenw Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 They are T90, which is currently the highest tier in the game at the moment (Ranged, Melee and Magic), with 150m, you can afford a set of drygores, but you can't afford even a MH ranged or magic with that money, thus, the best choice in your scenario would be Drygores without a doubt. Virtus wand and book, while it has the damage potential of a T90 (since its damage are from spells, not from weapon itself), has only T80 accuracy (though this is of nearly no consequence in slayer), and is still out of your budget at the moment, although only slightly (170m for the set last time i checked). With regards to port, there isn't a strictly most efficient way to do things, but you should get your fourth ship unlocked, as well as have 3 Judges and Jade merchants hired (JoD is very useful, and merchant is mandatory), although with the recent storyline nerf, you can knock it down to 2 until you finish all stories in Pincer, then hire a 3rd one again. Also, build Luxurious bar, and don't miss any scrolls. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

chenw Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wands/Books are few and far inbetween, After Grifolic wand/orb (T60), there is Ahrim/Wand of treachery and Ahrim's Book (T70), the set costs a good 20m, then Virtus Wand/Book (T80), set costs 200M or so, then Seismic Wand/Singularity (T90), which is around 1 billion last time I checked (The wand alone is more expensive than a set of Drygores and a set of Ascension Crossbows combined). There are literally no other choices in between. Drygores pretty much makes most other melee weapons obsolete, except maybe Balmung, and then only if it is upgraded post quest. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Levells Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Zammy spear is still needed for corp. Other than that, all other melee weapons are pretty useless to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quyneax Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The only worthwhile ultimates are Berserk (general slaying) and Massacre/Deadshot (point dps).
