reached half way point to 99 range will start posting pictures as i get 99 will be my first 99 :) should be there this week if all goes well

Very nice,can you give us details if you bot and where and what script are you using? And good luck!

Nice job! I've played RS for 7 years, and have never gotten a 99… What bots are you using?

well the first 40 lvls me once i had 40 range and def i used CaffinatedKiller By LaakeRules http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72425 tell about 60 then 20 lvls from running a range guilder last 10 have been a mix of chinning myself (to poor to chinn for hours with bot) and botting pest controlhttp://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73849, fight caveshttp://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86548, and little range guild

Best of luck man! We will be here supporting you :p

I hate to be a downer, but you should consider holding off on 99 ranged. Slaying with a cannon is practically a necessity, and if you plan on getting your slayer up, you will be wasting a lot of ranged xp.

If you don't ever plan on getting 99 slayer, it doesn't really matter.

It's not "practically a necessity" at all. I slay just fine without a cannon, and I'm not even 99 range yet.

OP: Keep going man! Even though you're botting it, it's still the best feeling to reach 99 :) best of luck!

I remember just range guilding my way through. If I recall, I got around 45k xp per hour at 85 range with full royal dhide, archers ring, ranging ammy, dark bow and the archer helm.

i do this for slayer tasks any way :) it gets them done much faster only 50 slayer atm i plan on getting it to at lest 80 idk about 99 thats a ig leap from my goal :p

You can expect to gain atleast 3.5m Range xp from 84-99 slayer if you cannon.

Nice dude! 99 Range was my first 99 also, I still have the vid from when I got it :p. I got it all legit too, as this was about 2½ years ago, before i started botting :s

I used moss killer bot till 80 ranged then I just legit chinned it to 99 :)

Good luck with it. I legit chinned until 86 where i've run out of funds ha

Anyway, good luck with it.

I'm sorry that you're doubling or tripling the time of some of the best slayer tasks. Any serious slayer will tell that cannoning is far and away the best xp. This isn't something that is debatable. It is fact that cannoning is the best way to train slayer.

I'm not saying that you should cannon every single task. However, a good chunk of tasks can be done in a fraction of the time with a cannon.

It's the fastest way to train, but not necessarily the best. Cost is a major factor in determining the 'best' as well as time. Frost dragon bones, Red chinning, and bursting are among the fastest XP in their respective skills, but to some people these are not economically feasible. Likewise while cannoning is great xp-wise, you also have to consider the cost/profit ratio for certain tasks. There are other factors as well, but cost is another one of the biggest.

td;dr (really? for something that short?) - It is debatable when you consider more factors than xp/h.

It's true that cannoning can be quite expensive, but the increase to xp per hour is well worth it. Also, drops from slayer are generally enough to offset the cost (maybe not on a given task, but in the long run they are).

You also need to take in to account the amount of time lost by not using a cannon. For example, I can do a hellhound task from Kuradel in around 20 minutes when using a cannon. This same task without a cannon would easily take twice as long. In that 20 minutes that I saved, I can make more money than what was lost using the cannon. Over the long run, the amount of time saved is considerable and easily offsets the cost of cannonballs.
