You can use small, medium, and large pouches at the same time. HOWEVER, you can only obtain 1 of each pouch, I believe.

It's very fast that way, yes, but you're forgetting about the cost. Gold ores are slow to obtain and expensive to buy, and superheating means that you also need to purchase nature runes for each gold ore. I believe gold ores run about 400 each, and nature runes are about 220, and you gain 56 experience or so for each gold ore smelted with goldsmithing gauntlets on. That means you're paying about 620 gold for 56 experience, or roughly 11 gp/exp. That's quite high. I think the profit is about the same; it may be a couple gp less for fletched bolts, since fletchers buy the unfinished bolts to fletch for fast experience. However, the fletching experience is very fast, as I mentioned before. If you don't already have 99 fletching, I'd advise you to fletch as many as you can with the gathered feathers. I usually get about 1k feathers for every 250 bars or so. While you won't be able to fletch them all with gathered (aka free) feathers, you will be able to do anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of them. Fast and very cheap fletching experience = win, in my opinion.

Yep, you'll need to finish the entire quest (including the final fight) to get your hands on the Barrows gloves. If you do seven subquests, you'll have accessed bronze, iron, steel, black, mithril, adamant, and rune gloves.

Gold ores to 73 for a loss, or iron bars with RoF -> iron knives for a profit. Be sure to use goldsmithing gauntlets or SC hammer at all times! From 73 onward, adamant bolts are the way to go. Very small loss, and if you farm bars at aviansies you will actually turn a very nice profit (it's the same as farming them for bars, you're just taking it one step further by smithing the bars you collect into bolts before selling. You can also pick up feathers there to fletch the bolts if you wish to do so. It's very good fletching experience as well).

Well, planks are 250 each, so that's 250*200=50k. No nails are used with oak planks :lol: I believe the servant charges every five runs (not sure, I don't use them much), so add in 40 times whatever servant you use. Different servants have different costs, you know.

You also keep all your items if you die in some minigames (Fist of Guthix, Pest Control, etc.). I was very nervous the first time I died in Pest Control! I was very relieved to find nothing missing when I respawned on the lander boat.

Well, instead of worrying about arrows, you find yourself worrying about the decreasing charge. It's a trade-off :?

It's a great weapon. But it's also very expensive, because you have to also factor in the cost of recharging. After the fifth recharge, once the price has hit the steady 180k per recharge, it's an excellent weapon when you need a high range attack. Both fast and strong, and no ammo is required, so you can put ammo drops in that slot. Basically, if you're swimming in gold, go for it and enjoy it. If you're struggling to earn money and haven't bought your whip/fury yet, there are better things to spend your money on. Depends on your budget.

It's cheap and it does increase drop chances. Might as well use it. If you're fighting a very strong monster, against which you need every bonus point you can get, then you could use a berserker/archer ring if you've got one. But for about 99.9% of everything I kill, I just leave my RoW equipped. It does no harm, and it might help you get that rare that you're wishing for. There's no downside to wearing it, except possibly for the loss of a +1 to one or two of your stats. And one point won't really matter, especially on lower-level monsters such as for slayer tasks. The only real reason to eschew the ring of wealth is to wear a ring of life, if you're worried about dying and not being able to retrieve your items.

Why does that make it easier? Special summon? I haven't had the chance yet to raise summoning as I just got members back, but I also do not want to spend too much money raising it. Slayer is probably my favorite skill though Summoning raises combat level, so it's possible to hit level 100 even with lower melee stats by having a particularly high summoning skill.

I believe the best strategy is to go to your house with the saw, hammer, a big pile of oak logs or planks (noted), and a big pile of money. Use the oak logs/planks on the servant to un-note them, then send them to the sawmill if they're logs. When they get back, hand them the next load and build larders while you wait for them to return. You don't make flatpacks of larders, you destroy/rebuild the larder over and over, I believe. Rinse and repeat.

AKA don't get the Volatile tools; they're too unpredictable to use for training, especially if you're only training a single skill (like smithing).

FASTEST would be to buy everything for the number of pots you need on the GE, as well as buying seconds and buying vials of water. How many of what potion, you ask? There's a tip.it herblore calculator to do that for you. What potions can/should you make, you ask? Just go to the GE and compare prices (you can even use the herblore guy to get the prices of ALL the herbs instantly), and see what potions you can make at your low levels. Seriously, 9-20 herblore is nothing, and you ought to just be able to look this stuff up for yourself. /rant

Hitting power of addy, accuracy of mithril. Consider them in between mith and addy, although they're cheaper than either one.

Do you have the agility level to use the shortcut? . . . judging by your low levels I'm going to assume you don't. Are you burying or banking the bones? If you're ranging the drags, you don't need any lobbies, since there's a safespot. And 52 ranged is quite low for blue drags, I'm going to go ahead and say that there are better methods of making money. Are you teleporting out or are you walking all the way back to Falador? Why blue drags? Answer some questions, and you'll get a better estimate. I'm going to go ahead and say that you'll only make about 40k or 50k an hour.
