    DKs Solo Rex with Polypore staff

    in Help and Advice

    Posted

    Bring Vecna's skull to boost your magic level. It'd also be worthwhile to get some other magic boost, like the dominion standard thingy, since ice barrage is much better than blitz. Magic potions wear off a bit quickly.

     

    The boost is only +6 while the CD is 7 mins, so they'd only get 1 min of casting :unsure:

    What would I cast that needs 96 magic? I thought I was using ice/blood barrage which are 92 and 94?

    So I'll wear what Quyneax said except I'll wear ardy 3 till I get around to sw cape. Once I'm there I just kill supreme then prime then lure and kill rex right? Would tribrid killing all 3 be efficent without yak, ss and overloads?

    DKs Solo Rex with Polypore staff

    in Help and Advice

    Posted

    So I went to barrows and made a bit of money, then they released the polypore dungeon. People have said that the staff works well on rex, I want to try and solo him but I'm not sure how.

     

    For healing I can use;

    Bunyip

    Guthans

    Blood spells

    Poison purge (lasts 10 mins)

     

    Which of these will I need?

     

    For gear I'm thinking something like this;

     

    Helm: Neitz/Guthans/Ahrims hood/Veracs/Slayer helm (on task)

    Amulet: Arcane Stream

    Cape: Ardy 3

    Ammo: Ruby/diamond/runite/addy/broad

    Body: Guthans/Veracs/ahrims/grifo poncho

    Weapon: Poly/Whip/Rune Xbow

    Gloves: Barrows

    Shield: Crystal/obby

    Ring: Seers/Rol

    Legs: Grifo legs/Guthans/Veracs

    Boots: Infinity

     

    What should I use/improve I have most of these and 5 mil or so cash.

     

    Once I'm there what do I do?

    I've seen people go down kill supreme then prime then lure rex, is this the best method?

     

    I've also seen people use a cannon? will this work or is that only for the stand in the middle and tank like a boss method?

     

    What sort of inventory should I bring? I really have no idea.

     

    I'm nowhere near uni/overloads/soul split so none of those are an option.

     

    I also have 70 pray banked so if that would be useful I can get that.

    My computer is screwed.

    Then it said it had finished and told me to restart the computer which I did. It shutdown ok then said windows jad it shutdown properly and to use system repair which in turn told me to use system restore. That finished and told me to restart then it which i did except it told me to launch startup repair again which failed but gave me the option to restore from an earlier point in time which also failed.

    Wat do?

     

    This was done on my smartphone which i'm bad at using btw

    I have an acer aspire 5102AWLMi laptop it has;

    AMD Turion 64 mobile technology MK-38 (2.2 GHz, 512KB L2 cache)

    Up to 256MB ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 HyperMemory

    80GB HDD. Actually its two 33GB partitions

    DVD drive read and write

    Came with 1GB of ddr2 ram I upgraded to 4GB

    It is running windows vista basic 32bit seevice pack 0

     

    I don't know what's important so I put everything,

    I have the factory reset and a snapshot from 2007 backed up on dvds.

    It had like 300MB left on the C: (windows) drive so I reset to the 2007 snapshot. That was all fine and dandy until I told windows to look for updates to the graphics driver.

    First it had a dialog saying it was searching for updates

    Barrows help

    I need some money, I hear that barrows is reasonable money but I don't know how best to do it.

    I haven't done The branches of darkmeyer yet but I've got the levels so assume I've done it.

     

    I'm thinking something like neitiz helm, ahrims top, mage arena cape, mystic bottom, barrows gloves, infinity boots, sol, arcane stream, seers ring and unholy book using ice blitz.

    I'd use a whip on karil and msb with rune arrows on ahrim.

    What can I improve, what inventory, what things could I improve with more money?

    Best melee Aura these days?

    I'm not entirely sure but I think equilibrium gives the biggest increase in raw dps for low levels (slayer) because of overkill reduction. I think the others have more niche uses.

     

    But I'd wait for Quyneax to tell you all the ins and outs before buying anything.

    I would suggest that you might as well do yews and papayas since theywill REALLY speed up the process (about 55% increase in cost/xp for 40% faster xp)

     

    Pineapple 4.6k xp @ 6600 gp (1.43 gp/xp)

    vs

    Papaya 6.1k xp @ 27,000 gp (pick the papayas) (4.42 gp/xp)

     

    Maple 3.4k xp @ 24,500 (7.2 gp/xp)

    vs

    Yew 7k xp @ 78,800 (11.25 gp/xp not counting tree losses)

    Thank you, I'll try this and see if my income can keep up with it consistently, it should be able to :thumbsup:

    Getting 85 farming

    I'm 77 farming and I have JuJu's, Scroll of life and magic secateurs.

    I intend to get remote farming and 90 magic so I can use spellbook swap for the troll patch.

    I'm thinking of doing maples and pineapples, I can't use the elf patch.

    At the moment I do dailies (choclate bars, feathers etc), farm snaps 3 or 4 times a day and do Mtk every couple days.

     

    Is this the best way? (I don't want to spend too much)

    Do I need to get other things?

    Are Torstol's going to be better than snaps?

    At 79 farming where should I plant my spirit tree?

     

    Thanks.

    farming for money?

    As of 11th august without jujus snaps are about 35k profit per patch so 140k or 175k

    and with jujus it's about 50k profit per patch

    Btw it needs Beautiful Soup to run you will probably need version 3.2.0

    Read the comment under def calculate_per_patch_profit to customize it

    It takes about 10 minutes to run because Jagex bottle necks it.

    Then copy and paste the results into a spread sheet, they go;

    1 Patch, Herb, Herb price, Seed Price, Profit change today, 4 Patches, 5 Patches

    I find it useful for herb farming when on lunars, it lets me use catherby and fishing guild teleports. since you only do a herb run every hour or so (depends on your herb) its cooldown doesn't matter.

    So if you want to farm herbs on lunars then get it.

    I think what you are getting confused about is that you think prestige is this:

    http://imageshack.us/f/703/prestige1.png/

    This is prestige xp which doesn't matter until floor 30

     

    And we mean this:

    http://imageshack.us/f/88/prestige2.png/

    This is just prestige, your current prestige goes up by one every time you tick off a floor, when you reset your ring your current prestige changes to zero and your previous prestige changes to whatever your current prestige was.

     

    Say you can access up to floor 40, with your way you would spend 60 hours doing floors 1-29 on c6 netting 30k ish xp then do 30-40 in about 4 hours with DGS netting roughly 500k xp.

    That would be 500k xp in 65 odd hours that means 9k xp per hour.

     

    With our way you would spend 5ish hours gaining no xp and 4 getting about 500k.

    9hours 500k xp nearly 50k xp an hour.

     

    Try to decide which one is better

    Say you just reset your ring, your previous prestige is 32 and your current prestige is 0.

    Now if you were to do floor 1 on complexity 1, floor 1 would be ticked off and your current prestige would change to 1.

    However if instead you decided to do floor 1 on complexity 6, floor 1 would be ticked off and your current prestige would change to 1.

     

    As you can see the only difference is that C1 takes way less time and 50% less xp, since you shouldn't care about xp until floor 30 C1 is better.

     

    After this if you were to do floor 1 again on complexity 1 floor 2 would be ticked off and your current prestige would change to 2.

    The same would happen until all the floors on that theme were ticked off.

     

    I hope that answers your question.

    What is the BIOS? I have a usb and one with a purple connector (ps2 or something) and intend to use the purple one.

    Does crossfire help with gaming? 2 6950s sounds kinda overkill but maybe it will help in the future, could i get a crossfire mb now and another gpu later?

    Would it be possible to get a less powerful gpu now, then get another and crossfire if I need better graphics later?

    Sorry I don't know much about cases. So a full tower is bigger? Does that mean more room to upgrade? I have plenty of room so that is a possablity.

    I don't know much about motherboards either I just had a gigabyte on my old comp which worked for 4 years :) I will have a look at other motherboards.

    So the cooler that comes with the processer won't handle overclocking? I definatly want to do that so I will look at that, any advice on which one?

    Also what is Xfire? I may change mb if it is something I want to do.
