So I'd like you to ask: What's another good way to make 99 Ranged?

I've got some ways I can't do or don't want to do (I tell 'em so you won't recommend them ;-))

Soul Wars, I don't like this and I always lose

Yaks of Fire Giants using iron, steel or more expensive knifes
Chinning, I am poor

I was thinking about fire giants, using a rune cbow, but I don't really know if that is so fast..

Does anybody know a good way?

[u]1.0 [Introduction][/u]
Welcome to my guide. Aviansies are one of the most popular ways of training Ranged and after this guide i hope it can become a popular spot for Mages too. Hope you enjoy the guide and if you have anything to say, good or bad, im open to all suggestions. So lets get started. First of all lets take a look at the rquirements needed to Mage and Range Aviansies.
First of all, Aviansies are followers of Armadyl. They are flying creatures that can be attacked only by Magic or Ranged. They are found withing the God War Dungeon. To enter the God War Dungeon (or "GWD") with the purpose of killing Aviansies i would suggest the fillowing levels:

2.0 [Requirements]
You will need a Ranged Level of at least 70 for the Ranged Method (70 is a requirement if you are planning on using Armadyl's Eyrie to range in).
You will need a decent Defense Level for tanking, at least 70 (Pures with 45 Defense can tank too, but it will be alot harder.)
You will need to have 40 Prayer at the very least, but the higher the better for Prayer Method.
You will need a Magic level of atleast 35 and depending which spell you are going to use when Maging (55 Magic is strongly recommended as you will need this to High Alch the rune items dropped by Aviansies.
A Summoning level of 40+ will help a great deal when you plan on doing the Prayer method. If you want to use a combat familiar you need 79+ Summoning. Everything below Titans are not worth the hastle.
You also need to complete Death Plateau and do Troll Stronghold (only upto the part where you need to fight the troll named Dad) to enter the God War Dungeon.
Eadgars Ruse quest is also highly recommended for getting to Aviansies faster.
If it is your first time going to GWD you need to take 1 rope with you. Without it you CANNOT enter.

3.0 [Getting There]
For those of you who don't know how to get there i will explain. There are 2 Different methods of getting there. The long way and the short way. Both of them have certain requirements. First off i will explain how to get there using the Long Way and then the Short way.

3.1 [Long Way]
For the long way you need to have completed Death Plateau Quest and you need to have done Troll Stronghold upto the point were you need to fight a troll named Dad. Also keep in mind that using the Long way requires you to wear Climbing Boots obtained during Death Plateau Quest. Here is a picture of how to get there:

Use a Games Necklace and teleport to Burthorpe Games Room. Once you get there follow the black path to bank. Once you have banked and your ready to go, follow the green path. You will need to climb over some obstacles and finally after passing some Trolls you will get to the second last part of the path. Keep following this path until you see "Thrower Trolls" (marked as yellow dots on the minimap). Switch your Protect from Ranged prayer on and run past thm until you reach a Boulder (marked as a purple dot on the minimap. Push the Boulder aside (60 Str needed) or climb through the Crevice (60 Agility needed) and now run through the final part of the path. You will run past some Ice Wolves (marked with blue dots on the minimap). Once you get passed them you will reach a big hole (marked with a pink dot on the minimap). Use your rope on this and you will enter the God War Dungeon!

3.2 [Short Way]
For the Short Way you need to have completed the quest Eadgars Ruse. This will enable to to use the Trollheim Teleport spell. This spell teleports you to ontop of the Trollheim Mountain. Here is a picture of how to get there using the Short path:

Once you reach the top of the Mountain you have 2 options. The red path is shortest, but it has an Agility requirement. If you do not have the required Agility level, follow the blue path and if you do infact have the required Agility level follow the red path. If you are following the blue path, do so until it joins up with the red path (you will run past Thrower Trolls [marked with yellow dots on the minimap] so switch on your Protect from Ranged prayer till you are out of their range]. Keep following this path until you see "Thrower Trolls" (marked as yellow dots on the minimap). If you followed the red path you will also encounter the Thrower Trolls. Switch your Protect from Ranged prayer on and run past thm until you reach a Boulder (marked as a purple dot on the minimap. Push the Boulder aside (60 Str needed) or climb through the Crevice (60 Agility needed) and now run through the final part of the path. You will run past some Ice Wolves (marked with blue dots on the minimap). Once you get passed them you will reach a big hole (marked with a pink dot on the minimap). Use your rope on this and you will enter the God War Dungeon!

**Please note that if its your first time going to GWD you NEED to have 1 rope with you. You CANNOT enter GWD without 1**

There are two different methods of Ranging/Maging Aviansies. These methods are Called the Praying Method and the Tanking Method.
The praying method is for players with a lower defense level. In this method your armour is focused on a high Prayer bonus because obviously, you will be praying against Ranged attacks. The higher your Prayer bons, the longer your trip. Although you must keep in mind that you need to have a small part of your Equipment to be focussed on Ranged Bonus.
Using the Tanking method is always the better option as this is cheaper and it enables you to camp at one place for a very long time. Your defense level as well as your armour comes into play here as that will determine the amount of damage you take. The first method under discussion will be the Praying Method.

4.0 [Prayer Method]

When using the Prayer Method at Aviansies it is important to have as high a Prayer Bonus as you can without taking too much Attack Bonus from your chosen style of attack (Magic or Ranged). In any situation it’s hard to find a good balance between Prayer and Attack Bonus, but I've found a Setup that will do the trick. First of all lets take a look at the Magic setup:

4.1 [Magic Setup]
Head: God Mitre
Torso: Monk top > Shade Robe> God Robe Top
Legs: Monk Bottoms > Shade Bottoms > God Robe Bottoms
Neck: Amulet of Fury > God Stole > Un(holy) Symbol
Hands: Barrows Gloves/Chaos Gauntlets > Infinity Gloves > Mystic Gloves
Boots: Infinity Boots > Wizard Boots > Mystic Boots > White Boots
Ring: Seer’s Ring > Explorer’s Ring
Cape: God Cloak > God Cape > Achievement Cape(t)
Shield: Mages Book > God Book
Weapon: Slayer Staff/Master Wand/Mudd staff/Lava staff/Void Mace.[/quote]
Here is an example of a High Prayer Bonus setup for Magic

Now for the Ranged setup:
4.2 [Ranged Setup]
Head: God Mitre > Robin Hood > Archer Helm
Torso: Monk top > Shade Robe> God Robe Top
Legs: Monk Bottoms > Shade Bottoms > God Robe Bottoms > Dhide Chaps
Neck: Amulet of Fury > God Stole > Ranging Amulet > Un(holy) Symbol
Hands: Barrows Gloves > God Vambraces> White Gloves
Boots: Ranger Boots > Snakeskin Boots > White Boots
Ring: Archer's Ring > Explorer’s Ring
Cape: Accumulator > God Cloak > God Cape > Achievement Cape(t)
Shield: Falador Shield3 > God Book
Weapon: Rune Xbow > Obby Rings > Addy Darts > Black Darts
Here is an example of a High Prayer Bonus setup for Ranging

The inventories for Ranged and Magic are very alike. Hereunder i will list a preferred inventory.
4.3 [Inventory]
1 Water Rune
1 Air rune
1 Noted Adamantite Bar
1 Feather
1 Law Rune
75 Nature Runes
2k Fire Runes/Staff
1 Coin
Spell Runes (Depends Which spell you decide to use. This is only needed if you decide to use Magic.)
Bones to Peaches Tabs
Mithril Grapple
Fill the rest of your inventory up with Prayer Potions. I usually get about 10 in.
**BoB
**You may choose to take a BoB with you to store some more Prayer Potions in. This would be a very good idea as it will increase your Exp/Profit Per Trip. Remember to take Super Restore Potions (te restore Summoning Points) and extra pouches along with you.
**The first five items on the list are there as place holders for items that i suggest you pick up.

To get the best out of every Prayer Potion you need to use the quickest Methods available, i will give you a short explanation on what i mean.
4.4 [Method]
Getting the best possible exp out of your runes/bolts and prayer potions will require a decent method. The method i suggest would only work if you are on a relatively empty world. If you use prayer method then i would suggest that you use the spot marked with the RED X or the YELLOW X on the map provided below as this spot has a lot of followers from other Gods that will help you kill the Aviansie faster. When killing the Aviansie only deal damage till it is slightly over half way dead, then move onto another Aviansie. Doing this will ensure that you get the drop once a follower from another God has killed the Aviansie. This way you maximize your profit with the minimum amount of runes/bolts. I would highly suggest Emerald (e) bolts for Ranged Praying, here is why. Emerald (e) bolts have a special affect that will poison your target, this will help you kill your target faster. If you half kill the Aviansie, the poison can finish of the Aviansies allowing you to move onto a next Aviansie while the other one is slowly dying from Poison. This way you attack multiple targets meaning you will get your kills faster.

Ofcourse if you're afriad about being called a noob a few times you should stick to normal killing, however this is not nearly as effective.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.0 [Tanking Method]

The following part of the guide will focus on Tanking Aviansies. For this to work your armour needs a good balance between Mage/Ranged Attack and Ranged Defense Bonus. When using Magic this method limits you to only a few options of armour because most armour pieces with High Ranged Def have a huge negative Mage Bonus and vica verca. Lets take a look at the suggested armour:

5.1 [Mage Setup]
**When choosing your Setup its important to have a Magic Attack bonus of at least +50 and a Ranged Defense bonus of at least +100. This will ensure that you splash as little as possible without taking to much damage.

Head: Torag/Guthan Helm > Verac/Dharok Helm > Dragon Full Helm > Granite Helm
Torso: Ahrim Top> Dagon'Hai Top > Infinity Top> Mystic Top
Legs: Ahrim Bottoms > Dagon'Hai Bottoms > Infinity Bottoms > Mystic Bottoms
Neck: Armadyl Pendant > Amulet of Fury
Hands: Barrows/Chaos Gauntlets > Infinity Gloves > Mystic Gloves
Back: Fire Cape > Obsidian Cape > Achievement Cape(t) > Legends Cape
Boots: Infinity Boots > Wizard Boots > Mystic Boots
Ring: Seers Ring > Explorers Ring
Staff: Slayer Staff/Mud Staff/Lava Staff/Air Staff
Shield: Dragonfire Shield > Dragon SQ Shield > Rune Kiteshield(God Trimmed) > God Book
Here is an example of a decent Tanking setup for Magic

5.2 [Ranged Setup]
**Its important here to have a Ranged Attack bonus of atleas +125 and a Ranged Defense bonus of atleast +120. This will ensure that you often hit high and minimize the damage you will take.

Head: Torag/Guthan Helm > Neitiznot Helm > Rune Full Helm > Granite Helm
Torso: Armadyl Chestplate > Dragonhide Body/Karil Top
Legs: Armadyl Plateskirt > Barrows Bottoms(legs/skirt) > Rune Platelegs > Dragon Hide Chaps/Karil Skirt
Neck: Ranging Amulet > Amulet of Fury > Armadyl Pendant
Hands: Best RFD Gloves> Vambraces > Regen Bracelet
Back: Accumulator > Fire Cape > Obsidian Cape > Achievement Cape(t) > God Cape
Boots: Ranger Boots > Snakeskin Boots > Climbing boots
Ring: Archers ring > Explorers Ring
Weapon: Rune Xbow > Obby rings > Addy Darts > Black Knives
Shield: Dragonfire Shield > Dragon SQ Shield > Rune Kiteshield(God Trimmed) > God Book
Here is an example of a decent Tanking setup for Ranging

Well the inventory with Tanking will differ a bit from the rest. No prayer Potions will be needed so there is going to be space for a few other things.
Lets take a look at a decent Tanking Inventory:
5.3 [Inventory]
Nature Runes
**Fire Runes
1 Click Tele (for emergencies)
Spell Runes (Depending on which spell you use. This is only needed for Magic Tanking)
Bones To Peaches Tabs
6 Good Pieces of food (for emergencies)
**Combat Familiar

Here is an inventory for Bones to Peaches for Ranged and Mage:

If you don't plan on camping there for too long and you have 68 Summoning, using a Bunyip is always a very popular method of healing. With a good tanking setup and a Bunyip you won't have to eat ofen.

5.4 [Inventory for Bunyip]

**Only take Fire Runes if you are not using a Staff of Fire.
**A Combat Familiar is optional, a way to speed some of the killing up. It is not recommended to bring low level Familiars as they will be a waste. Anything from Mithril Minotaurs and up would be good. Please remember to bring Summoning Potions if you wish to use more than one Combat Familiar pouch.

Hereunder will follow a short explanation on the basics of tanking.
5.5 [Method]
The Tanking method is plain and simple. Kill the Aviansie as you would normally. After its dead make sure to pick up the bones to use it for you Bones To Peaches spell. If you have a Defense level lower than 85 i would suggest that you stick to the lower level Aviansies such as the level 69's and 71's. If you do this right you are only going to have to eat once ever 1 or 2 kills.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.0 [Void Method]

6.1 [Void Ranging]
A lot of questions are always raised when it comes to Void. Is it worth it or not?

Using void for Ranged is most often a risk when you have a low defense level due to the fact that you lose quite a bit of Ranged Defense Bonus. The positive Ranged attack bonus does come in handy however, so does the Max Hit bonus. When using Void for Ranging I would highly suggest the use of a High Defence Shield such as the DFS, Dragon SQ, Granite or Rune Kite. With 99 Ranged, Void and no Ranging Potions i manage to get between 180 and 195 Kills an hour (My best was 201 kills in one hour). I kill the level 83's, 71's and 69's so the avarage HP lvl is 72. Thats about 288 Exp per Aviansie. If you subtract 38 Exp for damage delt by other NPC's you get 250 Exp per Aviansie. At 180 Aviansies an hour you get atleast 45k exp an hour. With an avarage drop of 3.5k that ends up in 630k Money an hour. If you use Ranging Potions aswell as 10% Ranging Boost Prayer you could easily get upto 230 Kills an hour putting you at 57k Exp an hour and 800k Money an hour.

Just a short explination of how i manage to get so many kills an hour (This is the spot marked with a RED X on the map below).

The Purple dot (Lvl 69) gets attacked by a Vampire and Gorak, so that speeds up the kill alot.
The Blue dot (Lvl 71) gets attacked by various Bandos Followers also speeding up the kill.
The Black dot (Lvl 89) often wanders as indicated by the black line making it easy to attack him without moving too much.
The Red dot (Lvl 89) and Brown Dot (Lvl 83) is in the area where you should be standing. These two can be attacked without moving too much.
The Green dot(Lvl 69) also often wanders into your range of fire so it can be attacked without moving alot.
Those are the 6 Aviansies you should focus on, with your main focus on the Purple, Red and Brown dots. There is also 1 Aviansie just beyond the Green dot and another Just beyond the Purple dot which also wanders into your range every now and then. They are Lvl 69 and 71. They speed up your Kill Count as well.
Here is an example of the prefered Void Ranged setup:

6.2 [Void Maging]
Not too long ago i tried using Claws of Guthix + Charge at Aviansies. I must admit i was shocked by the Result. Fast and effective. For those of you who dont know, Claws of Guthix reduces the Defence of your target enabeling your hits to be more accurate. Along with Charge and a Void Mace this spell has a max hit of 33 (and it quite often hits max). I would suggest this as the BEST way to mage Aviansies. Obviously it is always hard to determine profit/loss at Aviansies due to the fact that t relies on your Bar Drop count. However, if you are lucky enough to have an avarage of 1 Bar per Kill then you should be in the region of 1gp/exp to 0gp/exp. This means that you will lose 100k money per 100k exp or break even. The exp rate is what makes this method the best though. Not only do you stand a chance of breaking even, but you manage to do so at between 78k and 83k exp an hour. This turns out better than Alching and Superheating. Not only is Void Mage good for Claws of Guthix, its also very good for tanking. It is the only set to offer a good Mage defense bonus while not going too low on the Mage Attack. I would recommend this as the best set to use when maging Aviansies in any form.

**Remember, when you use the Claws of Guthix + Charge method you need the following items:
-Guthix God Cape (Mage Arena in the Wilderness).
-Void Mace.

To mage Aviansies with Void using Earth Based spell, use the same Setup. If you don't want the extra 10% Damage bonus use a Lava Staff. Use the same Shield as suggested for Claws of Guthix. In the Cape Slot it will now be better to wear a Zammy/Sara Cloak or a Trimmed Skillcape.

Just a short explination of how i manage to get so many kills an hour (This is the spot marked with a RED X on the map below).

**If you are going to use the Claws of Guthix + Charge method then it it highly reommended to use a Void Mace aswell as a Guthix Cape. This will allow you to get hits of upto 33. Also, if you want better Defense Bonus switch the Unholy book for a DFS or a BSS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.0 [Spells]

After a lot of testing i have come to the conclusion that Earth related spells are by far more effective than any of the other spells. I might be wrong but with any Earth spell i achieved a much greater result. There are 5 different spells that i would suggest to use at Aviansies. All of these 5 spells are on the Basic Spellbook. Those spells are:

Earth Bolt.
Earth Blast.
Earth Wave.
Slayer Dart.
Claws of Gutix.

**Earth Bolt should only be used along with Chaos Gauntlets obtained uring the Family Feud quest.
**Slayer Dart requires a Slayer level of 55 to use.
**Claws of Guthix should only be used along with a Guthix Cape, Void Mace and Charge spell.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.0 [10% Magic damage Bonus]

With a recent update some of the magic equipment was improved. We now have staves that can ad a 10% Damage bonus to the spell used. Here is a list of those “weapons”:

Ahrims Staff
Master Wand
Void Mace
Zuriel Staff(Never use this for Aviansies though )
Ancients Staff

Using one of these “weapons” will improve your performance by quite a bit and it is suggested to use one of them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.0 [Bows and Crossbows]

At 70-90 Ranged you really should only focus on using one weapon. That weapon would be a Rune Crossbow. This offers fairly accurate hits at a decent speed. Preffered bolts would be Broad Tipped (Slayer level of 55 is required) but if you cannont use them then second best would be Mithril. I find that Adamantite bolts are too expencive for this particular use.
If you have a Defence level of atleast 85 and your equipent Ranged defense bonus is over +190 then you could try switching to a Magic Shortbow with arrows. The preffered arrows would be Broad Arrows or Adamant Arrows. This will ensure kills to come a bit faster. There is another option of using a Crystal bow although i find this to be very costly.
Then lastly if you have 90+ Ranged you could try using Black Knives, Adamant Darts or Rune Darts. These are extremely fast and they can get you upto 250 or 260 kills a hour (with 99 Ranged, good setup and good method). This is the only method you should considder if you have 90+ Ranged.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.0 [Locations]

There are several possible spots to choose from when killing Aviansies. Each spot has a certain purpose. I will share three of my favorite spots with you.
Were to kill:

The Red X is where to kill if you are not wearing any God Items. There are a few low level monsters roaming around but they can be easily avoided. This spot has 4 Aviansies around you and it should be sufficient for decent exp.

The Yellow X is where to stand if you have an Item of every God. There is also a Gorak that will attack the Aviansies to make kills a bit easier for you. There are more than 4 Aviansies in that area.

The Black X is where to kill if you only have a Zamorak and Armadyl Item. There is no way any other follower can reach you inside. In here there are a lot of Aviansies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.0 [God Items]

These God Items will help you out quite a bit. It is not a necessity that you have them, but you will have a hard time without them. When using the spot marked with the YELLOW X i would highly suggest that you have at the very least a Saradomin item as the Mages will hit you very hard. The spot marked with the BLACK X should not be used without an Armadyl and Zamorak Item. As for the other spot, having a God Item is suggested, but you don't need one. Most of the time i dont use a God Item when using the spot marked with a RED X as most of the monsters there are low levelled and deal hardly any damage.

When doing the Tanking Method it is highly suggested that you have an Armadyl item on you. Without one you will get attacked by every Aviansie within range and that can sometimes lead to you having to eat to much and thus wasting food.
God items are not a "must have" though. When i kill Aviansies i never have any God Items. After 15 minutes or so the Aviansies will go unagressive and you can go back to killing them 1 by 1. However you will not be able to stray too far as this will cause them to go agressive again. If you have a good setup and atleast 90 Def i would suggest doing this as a Fury/Range Amulet is for better than a Armadyl Pendant. And often other items will help alot more than God Items.

**When you are not using any God Items i would recommend the spot marked with a RED X. It has a safespot where you can hide for a while until the Aviansies and other NPCs. Here is a picture of where that spot is and how to get there:

When you enter the GWD you will be at the blurry red spot. Follow the red path and hide at the spot marked with a red square. Here you can hide until the Aviansies are unagressive. Like i said above, if you wander too far the Aviansies might go agressive again. If this happens all you need to do is run back to this spot and stay there till they are once again unagressive. This is the perfect spot for when you intend on using Void for both Ranging and Maging.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.0 [The Drops]

After a whole lot of Aviansies I think I have finally figured out some of the drop patterns. Although some of these might be a bit off I think most of it will be fairly accurate. I will list the items that you should pick up as well as place a drop rate next to it. This drop rate will be based on the information I got so it might be a bit different for you.

Hereunder is an overview of the Drops:

-Water Runes Drop Rate: 1/0.33 (That means that you will receive 3 Water Runes every Kill, on average)
-Air Runes Drop Rate: 1/0.46 (That means you will receive 2.15 Air Runes every Kill, on average)
-Blood Runes Drop Rate: 1/6.6 (That means ever 6 or 7 Kills you will receive 1 Blood Rune, on average)
-Law Rune Drop Rate: 1/17.3 (That means every 17 or 18 Kills you will receive 1 Law Rune, on average)
-Chaos Rune Drop Rate: 1/5 (That means every 5 Kills you will receive 1 Chaos Rune, on average)
-Nature Rune Drop Rate: 1/ 3.1 (That means every 3 Kills you will receive 1 Nature Rune, on average)
-Adamantite Bar Drop Rate: 1/1.1 (That means every 1.1 Kills you will receive 1 Adamantite Bar, on average. To make this simpler, every 11 kills you will only have 10 Bars, for a 110 Kills, only 100 Bars, for 1100 Kills, only 1000 Bars. A lot of people think that Bar Drops are 1/1 but after a lot of camping I am sure that my drop rate is correct.)
-Feather Drop Rate: Feathers are a 100% Drop, however there is not a fixed amount. I myself average at 3.5 Feather per Kill.
-Alchable Items Coin Value: 485/1 (Its hard to estimate when you will get what Alchable unless I kept a log for a few thousand kills, which I didn’t. I can however tell you the average coin value you will get every drop).

Now, all of the items listed above should be picked up religiously. Some of the items don’t drop often but over time they make a big difference. I don’t have the rates of the Herbs, Gems or any other item dropped by Aviansies because when camping those are not worth picking up (they only take up space needed for food). Aviansies also drop a lot of Clues Scrolls(lvl3). I am not 100% sure on the drop rate but I estimate it close to 1/80 Kills.

If you pick up every item I listed above the average kill should give you about: 3 542gp.
That’s: 354 200gp for every 100 Kills.

13.0 [The Proof]

Here is a screeny of my most recent Ranging trip proving just how great Aviansies really are! This is after 8000 Kills.

**That gives me an avarage of 3 700gp loot per Kill!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.0 [Tips and Tricks]

Here follows a small list of tips and tricks that might make Maging Aviansies a bit more efficient or easier.

1.) When using the Tank Method with a low Defense level (or even at a high level) using a Defense or a Super Defense Potion would help you get hit much less thus helping you save some food.

2.) When you have completed the Seers Hard Diary and you have the Enchanted Excalibur it is highly suggested that you bring that along as it will save you a lot of food and gives a great Defense Bonus.

3.) When using a BoB or a Combat Familiar it can be better to take Super Restore Potions instead of Summoning Potions. This way you get extra Prayer Points as well as Summoning Points.

4.)When you are at the high end of every 10th level (for example 57, 67, 77, 87, 97) and you are using the Slayer Dart spell it is recommended that you bring a few Magic Potions along. This will increase your Magic Level for a short while enabling you to hit +1 on your current max hit.

5.) When using a Earth Related spell it is recommended that you use a Lava Staff instead of a Air Staff. This will enable you to use the staff to Alch the rune items dropped by Aviansies.

As a somber note: This guide is for people that want relatively good money without needing to raise skills much.
All these can be done with skills at level 1.

So you just got off tutorial island, or are a lower level (40 below) character who needs money for equipment, well, you are in luck, because I will tell you basic ways to make a relatively large amount of money, even with all your skills at 1!

First off, The Grand Exchange!
This is a marketplace where players can sell their goods to other players, in different worlds, AND while they are offline! HOW COOL IS THAT!
This is found in Varroc, the main city of F2P Runescape. To get to Varroc, simply follow the trail, on the east side of the river in lumbridge, north, until you find Varroc.
You way consult the world map if neccesary, by clicking the globe icon next to the minimap, but you should find it just fine. Once in varroc, head toward the fountain in the center of the city, again, consulting the map if neccesary. There are 2 ways to get to the Grand Exchange:
#1: go directly north, into the castle courtyard, and head up the side path to the west, it will lead you straight to the Grand Exchange.
#2: go to the bank directly west of the fountain, and follow the trail north of the bank, you may find this route quicker than the first.

At the Grand Exchange, you must talk to 1 of 2 NPC's, 1 at each enterance. They are the ones wearing bright clothes, you must talk to one of them to start using the grand exchange.

---CHICKENS---
I Don't know how overlooked this is, but I think it is well overlooked.
Ever since summoning was released, prices of raw chicken have skyrocketed to over 100 GP.
Currently they sell for around 72GP EACH in the grand exchange. It may not seem like much, but it is pretty good amount in large numbers.
And the feathers dropped from chickens, are used to fletch arrows, and sell for 5-6 GP EACH in the grand exchange.

Heres what to do:
In the beggining town of Lumbridge, across the river and a little up north, there is a chicken farm.
Go in there, and just kill chickens (best to do with empty inventory). Pick up the raw chicken, and feathers, until you have a full inventory.
Normally, There will be plenty of raw chicken and feathers on the ground, because people kill chickens for fast bone harvest, to raise prayer, so they only take bones.
This leaves LOTS of raw chicken and feathers for you to keep.
When you inventory is full (this should take about 5 min really) , with 27 raw chickens and a stack of feathers, you will have around 150-250 feathers, for every load, usually about 200 though.
this single load, is worth a grand total of about 2944gp.
Thats nearly 3k in 5 minutes.
enough to start yourself off with a full set of iron armor, no more walking around with a bronze med helm and wooden shield!

Feel free to take trips to the bank, easily located on the top floor of the lumbridge castle.
When you have about 100 raw chicken, you should have about 850 feathers.
Thats 11450gp IN JUST 20-30 MIN!
so now u can afford a full suit of steel, possibly black.

---TREES---

Normal trees are quite overlooked. These sell for around 29-30 gold each, because fletchers use them to make arrow shafts.

Simple.
Just get an axe, cut trees, and sell the wood.
Yah, but there is a specific place of interest you should know of.
Directly southwest of the west bank in varroc (the one below the Grand Exchange) There is a large field of normal trees.
Just cut these and transfer to your bank. After you collect a bulk of them, just sell them.
Now oaks. You shouldn't cut oaks until about 2 wc, but by the time you have 25 woodcutting, you will have quite a bit of gold worth of normal logs. oaks sell for a bit more than normal logs, about 30-35 a piece, not to mention oak trees hold more logs than normal trees, so theres less clicking and walking. basically, you do the same as you would with normal logs, but I suggest cutting by the east bank. right outside the city gates, are about 10 of these. but there are 2 right across from each other, right on the pathway, you will cut these. Then you just bank, and sell out when you get a bulk of them.

---COWHIDES---
This is another way, using what I like to call "profiting" techniques.
It consists of buying an item, turning it into another item, then selling it for more gold than you bought it.
Simply go to the Grand Exchange, buy as many cowhides (125 gold each) as you can afford (leaving 1 gold left over for each cowhide you buy), use the lumbridge home teleport, and go to Al-Kharid, which is through the gate on the east side of the river. With the remainder of your money in your inventory, and the rest filled with cowhides, go south of the gate until you see an icon on your minimap that looks like a leather shirt, this is where you will turn your cow hides into SOFT leather (not hard leather). Trade with Ellis and turn all your hides into leather. Then head back to the bank to pick up more cow hides, and repeat until you have tanned all your hides.

Return to the grand exchange, and sell your soft leathers (154-171 gold each) for about a 30-50 gold PROFIT. This will result in a profit of about 1/4 of what you spent on your hides.
So if you spent 100k on cow hides, you should get 25k profit or more.

---STRONGHOLDS---

The next thing to discuss, are the 2 strongholds, the Stronghold of Security, and theStronghold of Player Safety.

These can both easily be done at level 3, taking about an hour to do both COMBINED. But could take more or less depending on skill or lack there of.
The hardest being the stronghold of security.
You will have to run past numerous high leveled monsters that want to attack you, plus, you must have recovery questions set to claim yor reward, plus answering questions to go through doors.
but the reward is worth it.

From the Stronghold of security, you get 10k and a choice between colorful, and more fighting styleish boots, both with the same stats.
From the Stronghold of Player Safety, you get 10k and some fighting gloves.

A pretty easy 20k.
However, I suggest you bring food and the best armor you have, some monsters can do up to 8 damage, so watch out.

---MERCHANTING---
Basically, merchanting is when you go t o the grand exchange, and buy stuff for a low price, than immediately sell for a higher price for easy profit.
After you get about 50k from the above methods (possible within a day, but taking your time will get you 50k within about 2 days), spend it on feathers.
Buy them for either 5 or 6 gold each, NOT THE MAX (7 gold), because you will sell them for 7GP.
So, if you buy 50k worth of feathers for 5 gold each, thats 10k feathers. It will take a couple hours to buy the feathers, as they sell slower than when you buy for max price. So, while you are purchasing the feathers, do some other activity:
-Go for a walk (in RL)
-Train some skills
-Use the above methods to make more money
-Or do whatever you please.

Once you buy them all, simply sell for max, 7GP. Again, this will take a while, so do some other activities while you wait.
In the long run however, it pays off, because that 50k GP will turn into 70k GP.
You can merchant with other items too, just find an item thats right for you.
soon you will be turning that 70k into 110k, then into 160k, then into 220k, into 300k, and well you get the point.

---COPPER---

My recent discovery is copper. Actually, I knew it was there all along, but what I didn't realize was how much it was worth. At almost 80gp a pop, copper is worth more than 2x as much as oak logs. at first, harvest WILL be slow, but once you get you mining to about 20 (this is very easy), harvest will be very quick. I recommend mining at the mining spot near Varrock. The tin and copper spots are always empty, however the iron spots are the ones that take the beating, so you should be ok here. While the walk to the bank is a bit further than the oak walk, copper is worth more than 2x more, and the harvest is quicker, so it pays off. just one full load gives more than 2k cash payout. So just keep banking that copper and sell when you get a bulk of them for easy money!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I hope this guide helped you earn a couple 1000 gold, I have sure earn bunches from these methods.
I will add more ways to make money if I find any, but for now, stay in school.]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:13:03 -0500 http://www.runehq.net/RHQInn/index.php?showtopic=168303 Soul Wars for Leveling? http://www.runehq.net/RHQInn/index.php?showtopic=315932
Basically my question is: Is it worth doing Soul Wars to try and get Zeal and spend it on experience? I'm shooting for 99 range, so I'm not sure if I should train old school or do SW.
