Well said! Thank you for putting these simple (yet wholely compelling) ideas into such eloquent words. It was a pleasure to read and should be prominently posted where it can be seen by all as we take our first step into Lumbridge from Tutorial Island. "How you act when no one is looking is the clearest indicator of the strength or depravity of your true character." Words to truly live by.

Level 2: Yuck!

I thought you might want to know that people I run into there (and in ardy bank wearing combined initiate and mourner's with a pick in their hand) are starting to call this "Wakka's Rock" (heh heh). Happened twice now. Funny how many people cruise the Tip.It forums, but it's still not overly crowded (yet).

There is a reason that everyone who regularly uses the blast furnace to train smithing steps outside the fence around the anvils before high alching. It's because if you don't, you will get a random event like every ten to twenty alchs. It was fun at one time, but after a while it is annoying and just slows you down. So, there is at least one place I know of where randoms are more common. Inside the fence around the anvils in the blast furnace while high alching.

Very true. It sure is sweet right now though. :P I doubt if anyone will use the coal when it gets packed. lol

Yes, but I thought you didn't want to buy them. You would have to buy the plant cures. If your willing to buy vials, water filled vials are sold in Shilo Village fairly near the bank. BTW, re-using vials after making potions that have little or no value is also an option. Just right click the potion and empty it.

I had to tele out from the boss fight the first time. I ran out of food and he still had 1/4 hits left. Stay away from the high level trolls and they won't bother you when killing the ten needed before the boss fight. That was my mistake the first time and I used all my food fighting them. The level 82 trolls don't hit hard, so use protect from range and have at em. The second time through I only needed to kill two trolls before I could move on to the king again, so I had all my food left. I used three sharks on him though. Nice quest, the best in quite a while. BTW, no one has mentioned it, but getting to the cave can use up a lot of hitpoints too. Make sure to have lotsa run energy when you cross the second bridge and check the map to see where you're going first. There are a LOT of trolls and they are all aggressive. If you use protect from melee for the higher level trolls (they hit hard - I was hit for two 17s, a 6 and a 3 - minus 43 hits just getting to the cave), the rock throwers will nickel and dime you for a bunch of hp which is worse. I think it is better to protect from range and run fast. Once you get near the cave there are no more trolls and you can take a breather before you enter.

I just quickly walked through it, but seems there was a lot of addy ore, too. Might be a good source for that.

Jatizso - Shark fishing closer to a bank than the fishing guild? Hmmmm...

Lordreverse is another player who levels on even XP increments. He has just recently powered prayer to level 99 though, and his total level is "only" 1824 which ranks him at about 7,300. His stats are amazing to watch. Leveling slayer to even increments along with hitpoints and the combat skills has got to take a calculator, don't ya think?

FYI, the Water Elementals (lvl 34) in the elemental workshop in Seers Village (Elemental Workshop 1 & 2 quests) drop vials of water 100% of the time. It's a slow way to get vials, but you wanted a way that didn't entail buying or making. http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2monster_id=172. Hope that helps.

If all you care about is fishing XP, fly fishing @ Barbarian Village and dropping as soon as you catch them is the fastest XP per hour. It's a shame to waste all that cooking XP though. Lobbies are a good balance between XP and profit and at high fishing levels give almost as much XP as fly fishing if you're willing to drop them. But, if your going to drop them anyway, fly fishing is still more XP per hour. Swordies (and tuna) is slower XP than lobbies even at high levels, but is much more profitable.

You need to go talk to Larry again before you can do number 12 in your guide (try to open the big doors). Otherwise, nobody talks to you.

You don't need cod if you have a Ring of Charos (a). The penguin says it's his duty to help you and tells you the password phrase if you have your ring equipped.

Death tiara. Who ever goes to the death alter except through the abbyss?
