I know, but they hate me. I saw your luck so I spent all last week killing them without a drop. I have NEVER got a drop from them. I'd rather not waste more money on them. You should kill the boss which is most enjoyable... not just for drops. I like killing TDs, they remind me of Jad. The claws are an added bonus-- I haven't spent any of the cash I've earned there since I've got nothing to spend money on. I just think they're fun to kill :D You should try rotating around bosses... like DKs for a day/week, then TDs then GWD bosses, etc. That sounds like a good idea. What should be the rotation? Dk/Tds/Corp/Gwd ( Should I even bother with zammy?) whatever sounds like fun to you-- RS is a game, not a chore... and it's an MMORPG, where most of the fun lies within the journey instead of the end destination :P

should've ran north and killed the healers w/o having to pray against jad

It's TDs, whether you like it or not lol

range ammy... I always prioritized range att bonus over all other bonuses there, since the cost of p pots is negligible compared to the cost of chins. plus you're hitting 9x the targets so all range bonuses are amplified 9x

I'm pretty sure Ahrims staff protects over all other Ahrim equipment. I sold my staff, I think it's obsolete nowadays since if I'm fighting a meleer, I've already got 50% damage and speed reduction-- don't really need the str reduction anymore. Plus I don't have much defence w/ Ahrims staff-- if a ranger comes I'm boned.

clean herbs... I started cleaning them when I was lvl 65, got to lvl 75 really quickly and made a ton of money... as much as 500gp per cleaned herb sometimes. It's over 100k xp/hour and sometimes over 2M/hour, depending on which herb you clean

You can do the math yourself... SoL saves your runes 1/8 of the time, therefore you'll get 12.5% more charms per ice barrage. You should seriously consider using battle robes too, though-- it's awesome getting 700 crimsons (plus tons of golds and greens) for every 1k barrages. Don't bother boosting your mage lvl-- the boosted damage only affects the targeted rock lobster, not all 9. Considering your charm-gathering speed is only as fast as the final rock lobster can survive for, it's not worth trying to boost your magic level.

Try the SoL-- usually one person tries using unconventional methods for things like this, [bleep]s it up, then reports that the method was bad, rather than the user. (For example, everybody thought that mage was poor against TDs when it's probably the most lethal). I wouldn't be surprised if SoL works wonders on Kree. I wouldn't bother using the dark bow, though-- probably not worth the inventory space for dragon arrows, the dark bow, and spec pots when you could put food/pray pots in those spaces instead. And you'd have to pick between the dark bow spec and SoL spec too.

By the time you reach 94+ magic it's assumed that you've figured out how to afford it

Soul wars cape instead of accumulator if you've got one (or ardy 3, or trimmed 99). Otherwise, equipment's fine till you swap to void. inventory: darklight, enhanced excalibur, rune c'bow, 2 extra uni pouches (one already summoned), uni scrolls, 2 super att, 2 super str, 2 range, alch runes, lantern, 2-3 summon potions, 8+ pray pots (or however many you have room for). Also, keep 2-3 inventory spaces empty for drops You don't need a tele tab since you can seek shelter and home port out (my respawn point is set to lumbridge). you don't need brews since summon pots restore 15 summon spec bar points, so basically 1 dose of summon pot = 1 unicorn heal. also with unicorn and EE you shouldn't really need to resort to brews or summon pots anyways-- they're just for emergencies. When you're fighting TDs, always stand adjacent to them. if you're ranging them from over a square away and they're trying to melee you, they'll immediately change their attack style to range or mage so there's no point in trying to distance yourself.

I knew somebody was going to bring up the staff of light. <_< Even after I said "without breaking my piggy bank" and "without spending more than 2m." All I needed was an "it's not possible." Ah, sorry my mistake. I'll try not to help next time

If you invest in a staff of light and battle robes, all spells are 1/2 price. Fire surge is amazing magic xp and very powerful... though you can't use that yet. If I were you I'd invest in those two items and burst rock lobs till you can smoke barrage them-- then ice barrage till you can fire surge, then go fire surging monsters like iron dragons or tormented demons another idea is just to train mage on dagannoth rex w/ god spells since the drops pay for the runes

I got over 300 crimsons from rock lobsters last time... I just have a friend waiting for me at waterbirth so I can collect the reward and immediately teleport there and get to work

How effective is magic against TDs? Well back when the safe spot existed, Mage + Range/Melee duo'ing was lethal-- my friend would just stand in the mage spot and cast zammy flames the whole time while I'd range and melee... we outperformed every maxed team that thought mage sucked lol I was just testing out fire surge in void this time... it's definitely not as good as ahrims and zammy flames, but it's still pretty powerful.

4th pair in two days-- two duo'd, two solo'd (+99M). idk what to do w/ all this money.

I have tried this many times myself, and I always get stuck in the same situation. I'll buy a few and clean them then try to sell and see if they make a profit. When I see that they do, I buy 1k of them, clean them as quick as possible, but low and behold, I put them in to sell for the same price or even less than earlier, and they don't move one bit. So then I'm stuck sitting here with 1k of some random herb that won't sell, and it ends up staying like that until the next G.E. update where it decideds to go down in price and I end up losing cash and getting little exp for all that work. Well I've cleaned and sold about 10k dwarf weeds today for a nice 2.5M profit... grimy sells instantly for min and clean sells... eventually.

I don't see how people can prefer GWD to TDs in terms of camping for drops... It takes about 4 minutes to get to the TDs; You have to kill 40 monsters to get to GWD bosses If you die, you can get back to your grave at TDs easily w/o a blessing or repair; You're [bleep]ed if you die at GWD w/o a blessing Dragon claws drop rates are probably about 1 in 250; Hilts are more like 1 in 600 It's very easy to find an empty world for TDs, and when you find one, you never get crashed; GWD has cutthroat competition And, most importantly, I just really enjoy killing TDs, they remind me of Jad :D Actually requires a little bit of skill-- I never thought GWD was very challenging-- just really time-consuming :\

just pick an herb (the higher lvl, the better) and buy grimy and see how much it cost-- clean it, then see how much it sells back for. just cuz it doesn't sell instantly, doesn't mean it doesn't sell. I'm cleaning about 1-2k dwarf weeds at a time then selling them for about 220gp profit per herb... it takes an hour or two for all the cleaned herbs to be sold.

...which is why I said "evidence has suggested" :P

If it is of any relevance, evidence has suggested that iron dragons drop visages more frequently than steel dragons: http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1340287-drop-rate-ratios-from-the-adventure-log/

I've been tribriding before, and it is indeed a lot of fun. At the item of posting, I was just in the mood for solo'ing Rex. I got pretty bored (as usual) after a while, so I'll be tribriding next time probably... but that's after I get tired of killing TDs :P

well I'm gonna go kill myself, see y'all later! :wall:

They're not doing so well so far... This may totally screw my bracket over. Yeah I'm not very happy right now lol
