A bottleneck is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources. The term bottleneck is taken from the 'assets are water' metaphor. As water is poured out of a bottle, the rate of outflow is limited by the width of the conduit of exit - that is, bottleneck. Increase the width of the bottleneck, and you can increase the rate of which the water flows out.
There are several quests I want to get out of the way, but I've set a goal to be achieved before I'll do them. I suppose it could be considered two goals except they pretty well go hand-in-hand. Underground Pass is waiting patiently. I have all the required skills and I'm confident I can work through that hellhole dungeon a third time. Although one thing makes that quest simpler - 79 combat to kill Kalrag. The combat level is arbitrary; it only keeps Kalrag's minions from constantly injecting me with their venom. The other quest is Monkey Madness, which I hope will be easier a third time around. Being able to wield a dragon scimitar will be sweet and puts the other goal in the limelight - 60 attack. Since combat needs boosted, it makes sense to gain attack levels to raise it.
I'm pretty burned out on combat in general, so it's sliding in favor of non-combat skills. Agility is winning out and you know how much I hate it (sorry Pie). I checked with Tipit's combat calculator which told me getting 60 in attack, strength and defense will get me 79 combat (without raising summoning and prayer). In the back of my head, I keep hearing Simple saying, "Slayer..." and not in an annoying way either. Reading up on the task list, I went to Chaeldar to get going. She's only got a few things I'll Burthorpe if they get assigned. She is my fave slayer master, though Rhonda gets pounded into the dirt a lot (51 hp lol XD).

79 combat is not arbritary. Kalrag is in a single combat zone, as I found to my severe annoyance when I did the quest-it's pretty much impossible unless you have someone helping you without 79 combat.
