Oh don't worry, I actually like long comments/responses!!
Well about weapons, I only used my Chaotic so almost no money is lost
Let me tell you my story: There were 2 times I made a large amount of money instantly. The first time, was also the first time I ran out of membership. I bought 15m-worth of Chaos rune, (Along with Air runes), planning to use Crumble Undead to train my magic till 99. A month later, a friend in my clan suddenly told me that the price of Chaos Rune was tripled (due to pyramid-merching guilds, I guess). So I sold my runes and made 30m
then I came back to membership and bought bandos + fury
(I don't know if I ruined anyone's merching plan actually
)
The second time was when I fought Daggs for a slayer task, I found a lvl2 clue, and upon finishing it I got ranger's boots
That's when I bought my current skills (Herbs and Construction). Other than those 2 times, I don't usually play for gold. My only main income was farming and doing tasks, actually.
Oh and I wonder, is fury still popular now?
