Couple of Questions

1. Skill capes remain the best all around capes, but for specific styles it is beaten by:

 

Magic: God cape

Melee: Fire cape and TokHaar-Kal

Ranged: 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 3^rd place.

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.

You're better off getting 99 slayer and then doing your buyables than doing your buyables now and welfaring slayer.

hmm, i see. haven't played in so long, i completely overlooked slayer. thanks.

 

whatever happened to that slayer update to the tower? was it a good update or a waste of time?

Yeah, abyssals are great at the top of the tower + contracts and morytania legs boost xp/hour by a lot.

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.

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.

Zammy spear is still needed for corp. Other than that, all other melee weapons are pretty useless to you.

when i went to sell it i saw it was worth over 4m so i figured it must still be useful. thank you.

I prefer to bind abilities in the order I use them when engaging combat: Slice > Dismember > (Slice) > Sever > (Slice) > Havoc/Cleave etc. with tresholds at 5-7.

here are all my bars. note that i use them almost exclusively for tanking nex and dpsing kalphite king, but they aren't half bad for slayer either. (when slaying, i replace massacre with berserk)

 

 

I like to switch using the action bar because it is easy to do 4 way switches with it.

The only worthwhile ultimates are Berserk (general slaying) and Massacre/Deadshot (point dps).

care to explain the binds, if it's not too much trouble. and thank you.

 

They are just keybinds that feel comfortable with how my hand sits. I don't have a numberpad and I don't like pressing 1 through = above the keyboard. One thing that I did do is keep anticipation and freedom and provoke consistent across all my bars.
