So I've been using the taverley summoning method where you sell 2nds and then rebuy them from Pikkupstix (Jeremy841 linked a vid of it in the 200M all skills thread). It's not that much more expensive than normal running for barker toads (like 2gp/xp more). I made 7k pouches in an hour and the normal way is about 3-3,5k per hour, so this is more than 2x as fast. I'm considering making fruit bats this way too but that is about 17-18 gp/xp here compared to 7-8 gp/xp the normal way. I just got my front page summoning rank back and I'm hoping to climb some more before I'm done. Yeh they seem epic. I don't think I'll use the farm ones though, except when growing samaden.

I haven't been slaying much for the last couple of days because of the effigy-nerf. In around 850k slayer XP I'm at 1 effigy drop and I know a few others who have been doing 1m+ slayer xp with only 1 effigy drop. So it's a bit ridiculous. The rewards for doing the slowest skill in RS aren't there anymore and I'm still hoping that Jagex will change the rates for slayer a little bit. Probably won't happen though. Instead I've been doing some firemaking in the jadinko lair. It's around 300k FM xp per hour + ~30k WC. I did around 1,5M xp + got some nice seeds which led me to planting my first juju seed ever :-?. Going to try to get into jadinko hunting a bit more so I can get all vines etc I need for mining pots. Today I decided to get the golden mining suit so I can wear it while mining gold @ LRC. I'm planning to get 50M or so mining XP and I figured it'd be worth getting the suit. It took around 7 lava titans, so around 7 hours for the full suit: But yea I got some studying coming up so I'll probably mostly focus on Ivy/Cooking/LRC for the coming week. Yea I feel the same way. And thanks :)

Reached 28M RC from assists etc. And task list continued: 236 Waterfiends 231 dark beasts 207 hellhounds 197 dark beasts 157 Ice wyrms 244 bloodveld 27 Miths 226 black demons 59 black drags 200 Kalphites 88 Irons So yea 1 effigy in around 550k slay xp so far, yay?

Yea like 3 - that's like 290k xp and I used to average 1 per 90k or so.

130M HP :) And slay tasks since effigy-nerf: 72 steels 182 bloods 201 hellhounds 239 kalphites 167 ice wyrms 157 dark beasts 1 eff 188 dagannoths 91 irons 58 steel 197 black demons 206 Hellhounds 196 Waterfiends 1 effigy so far. Way too small sample size to make any conclusions but together with other people's rates the effigy-nerf looks pretty bad.

Cape is definitely possible getting with just gano. It's even possible with polypore instead of SOA. Once you figure out what to do it's not that hard actually. There's always "safespots" to trap the monsters, like trapping the 360 when killing Jad etc. And as mentioned in the post above, it's even possible to trap one of the double Jads to kill them one by one. I had quite a big problem with the boss though but that was because I only brought Gano, which has a pretty shit ranged def. Used over half of my supplies on boss alone. So yea, you kinda need to bring some decent range-def gear for boss while praying mage + killing the ranged tentacles.

Yay cape :D Now to figure out how to unlock the last 5 songs for comp.

I lied in my previous post. Ended up using my dragonkin lamps on RC instead of Slayer. This is my end RC XP: And here's all XP I gained in total :) Moved up 14 ranks. Not bad at all. Now it's time to do another try for the new cape. Hopefully my next post will be fairly soon with a pic of me wearing comp cape again... It's a site called Indecent Code. Better than RS higscores and I've been using it for a while. There's a post about it on HLF too. And yea well, I can see why people who don't have the skills to open their effigies are pissed because they kinda need to train other skills before slaying. I can see the reason why they nerfed the rates though because effigies weren't supposed to replace skills completely like RC. But yea, having a limit on amount of effigies you can have at a time is pretty pointless and changes nothing for a maxed player - but is a huge disadvantage for someone with lower skill total. For me personally I don't really mind, I've always been tempted to use my effigies and I finally could. No records though, but oh well.

New quest was fun, but short but fun. Then I tried the fight kiln minigame with gano + soa and got to wave 30 before I died due to a stupid misclick on Jad. I did a lot of mistakes tho so I only had about 8 brew flasks left at that wave. But yea, it is definitely doable even without high-end gear. Anyway it is time to use my 201 effigies. I decided to put them on Slayer. Starting stats: Looks like I have to... Same as above, I would have but yeah.. :???:

Lmao guess I need to use my effigies right away.

First I reached 110M Magic: Then reached 200 effigies, 200th one from Mith dragons. And first page about to be updated with new goals.

Haven't updated this in a while but I haven't really been doing anything interesting on RS. I've had lots of school-work. Here's a small milestone tho: Also will be lots of updates coming up, very close to many milestones, + almost 200 effigies :)

Just reached 60M ranged Also just did an icy wyrm task on a 1k pop server, with fire surge and cannon. I was the only one on the server, used the south cannon spot. I killed 153 ice wyrms in 50 mins and 7 seconds which is ~53,877 slayer xp per hour. That's also just under 180 kills per hour. It wasn't perfect tho, ice wyrms running out of cannon-range, not optimal spawn-rates etc. I can't really see melee + cannon beating this, but I guess it would be worth testing.

Today I completed my 1000th task in a row. It should be higher but I've reset it a few times for no reason. I found a screenshot in this thread that I posted on 31th of december. At that time I had 44,817M slayer XP and 674 tasks completed. Now, after 1k tasks, I'm at 53,093M XP. No effigies or anything used on Slayer, except buying 10k slayer XP once because of lag, so let's say 53,083M XP. That's 8,266M slayer xp in 326 tasks which gives an average of ~25,356 XP/task. So assuming I keep getting this average xp/task and with no dragonkin-lamps used on slayer I'll need to do ~5794 more tasks. My final task count would then be 6794 tasks. Give or take a few hundred, I'll probably end somewhere between 6500-7000. I also tested some slayer XP-rates today, some in try hard mode, and some in afk mode. Dagannoths: (Try-hard, lighthouse, cannon, steel titan, 1500 pop world, empty) 107,486 slayer xp/h and a whooping ~497k OA xp/h. Dark beasts: (Kura DG, AFK, alone) 38,226 slayer xp/h which also was 152,685 def xp/h Kalphites: (Do no evil-cave, multi-tasking, 1870 pop, timing is prolly 1 min give or take off, but gives an estimation) 56,856 slayer xp/h Bloodvelds (multi-tasking, cannon, titan, 1000 pop) 82,274 slayer xp/h Ice wyrms (Fire surge (ahrims, c staff, surgebox), no cannon, alone) 46,909 slayer xp/h Waterfiends (multi-tasking, CT, C maul, titan) 37,298 slayer xp/h Hellhounds (try hard, res dungeon, 1500 pop, titan, cannon) 88,508 slayer xp/h So, it looks like the small increase of slayer monster spawns boosted the xp-rates quite a bit at especially dagannoths, hellhounds and bloodvelds. I'll probably do a few more runs at everything tomorrow or something. Yea well, it goes up and down. And even at 50 gp loss per fish (which is like the highest diff I've seen) it would only cost ~35M-40M from 99 to 200M. That's veeeeery little compared to ~1,5B for wines :o

It depends where it is. I can understand if you crash someone at bandos/corp or things like that because there are limited worlds and you actually gain something by crashing. What annoys me is when someone crashes me at, say mutated bloodvelds or ab spectres. They set up their cannon beside mine and start killing. It's not like they get faster xp doing that, rather the opposite. But ye I get annoyed when someone crashes me at irons or beasts in Kura dg too, but at least I can understand that since it's mostly lower levels who kills 1 dragon in the time I kill 3-5.

Reached some milestones today: 50M Cook: 1,1B XP: Thanks :) Hm, guess I'll start recording xp/h on the tasks I do + do some tests at Ice wyrms. And wines are about 8,5 gp/xp atm. I was gonna do wines at first but ended up doing most of the xp with rocktails. Perfect to do while studying :thumbup:

Yea I'd definitely take effigies over sols, especially since sols are at 583k right now. And lol, thanks :) Yup, usually not cannoning Ice wyrms. It's already the most annoying task that I do, with all the investigating etc and cannon would just make it more annoying. It's still around 40k xp/h without cannoning. Are renewals even worth using cost-wise? It's not like I lack inventory space. Surgebox. Why am I not using a surgebox... I have no idea :unsure: Going to buy one right now, thanks for the tip.

3 Sols in a task of 103 Ice wyrms, and in 17 mins. Another interesting thing is that I'm currently doing my third Ice wyrm task in a row (with cancelling nub tasks inbetween)

Impressive goal (1B XP). Looks like it won't take you that long. :) And keep killing those glacors, looks like there's too few glacor killers atm as armadyl runes were 2,6k last time I checked (which was yesterday). They need to go down... Depressing game.

Wow, that's some decent luck. GL with your goals :)

Not much happened today, been writing an essay that I just handed in so haven't played much. I got about 200k WC xp though. Time for an effigy-update: Last time I posted an effigy-update was on 20th of Jan at which point I had 131 effigies. Now, 16 days later I'm at 178. That's almost 3 per day on average which isn't bad. I hope to top that this month though - an average of 4 would be nice since I intend to slay a lot. Hm.. what do I reply to this.. Let's try.. thanks? :unsure:

Yay 113 Slayer(52,136,869) and 2675 skill total :) Only 7 left for 120. Other small milestones reached are 18M Farm, 136M def and 122 HP (127,110,260).

Very close to max cape, good luck with that. And have fun camping ganos, still a good, consistent money-maker :)

Na lighthouse is much faster. I just do them in CT when I wanna kill Bork or when I need to focus a bit on studying.. And didn't know caskets were that much, guess I'll start picking them up :P
