OP: have DT done for Ice burst unless you have 55 slayers in which in which case, I'm guessing that you can make use of magic dart. If you choose to RuneScape Gold do that, you'll require a canifis portal within your home, which will require the completion of DT (or it will take longer to get there or whatever). You don't need to finish DT to complete it, but it's an thrilling quest that you'll need to complete it in the near future, so taking it up now will be beneficial. Although you don't really need, 70 att,def,str,range and mage will be very helpful. Magic dart is an excellent choice...

Yes, really, I mean: the melee levels? You really, really aren't required. Barrows runs work without these. I'm certain that 70 defense may help a bit when you're using Ice magic, you don't require to melee. Absolutely not. Karil gets broken by magic and ahrim isn't too slower to travel.

In reality, I'm not usually able to do more than 1 run per day, but it's because I'm not able to get through the maze. (This was before I had some of the levels you've mentioned). I'm sure I could do up to 3 or 4 sessions at a time.

70 defense can be extremely helpful when using Blitz to Sally it is one of the most effective methods(if you don't have access to turm/chaotics etc etc). Strength and attack speed speed up ahrim, however is not needed and 70 mage should be considered at a minimum. it is recommended to use 82.

I have this set-up: Sacred clay helmet with Buy RS 3 Gold Granite body Dragon Platelegs, Amulet of Glory The Ring of wealth, Obsidian cape, Dragon longsword, obsidian sheild/Mithril Defender. I have approximately 1 mil of gold to upgrade my armour/ wep. Notice: I'm in need of exp so that I don't have to change the helmet. I haven't yet completed the freminik quests. Will change my black boots to dragon ones after I get a couple of additional 100ks. Haven't done monkey madness. I'm trying to acquire dragon defense, btw...
