Ah alright was just wondering because last night during the Duo i missed a tank and the other guy was wearing full Torags and got hit about 5 or 6 times and splashed all of them.
-
I need some advice from an experienced Zammy GWD'er. This question is concerning armour and invo.
Would i be better off using Void or Armadyl for Solo? Is it possible to wear Tank Gear, then pray mage instead of melee?
Using Ovl, should i still stick to the 1:3 Restore/Brew ratio?
Will Whip + Def and Claws be better than AGS?
Thats about all i can think of now.
Thanks in advance.

Which ever you enjoy more. I think both of them are pretty closely matched in terms of Exp so it really just comes down to what you enjoy more. You could always do both of them. Do a bit of the one, then a bit of the other. Trust me, getting 6m exp from either one of those two minigames will be a very boring task.
-
1/475 Effigy
1/450 Dark Bow
Great Slayer XP -
Great Melee XP -
Average Summoning XP -
Break Even on Prayer Pots (Without a D-Bow or Effigy)-
Permanently Aggressive -
Kill Rate ~ 180 an hour in Kura's
If you spend the effigy on 85+ herb or prayer it's technically worth around 750k at least with herb and prayer @ 20gp/xp or so.
and @ Noxx - if you are an "efficiency freak" then you should definitely be doing them.
I've heard way to many people (efficiency concerned people) say that they are horrible Exp (unless you cannon, which OP clearly stated he cannot afford).
-
Never cancel a task that could potentially have a big profit and chance at a good amount of blue charms. Unless you're a efficiency freak, you should do them. And by that i mean unless you want the fastest possible exp instead of actually enjoying the game, then sit back, relax, and do one of the most awesome tasks Slayer has to offer.

I added a few screen shots.
You will notice that there is a picture of me getting a solo Zammy Spear. Funny story actually, me and someone from TIF went to duo. Somehow he got killed by the ranger minion and i decided to try a few Solo kills after he died. This was much harder than it looked. Anyhow after killing K'ril the i started killing off the minions and the last one i killed (Mage minion) Dropped a spear. I almost died trying to get a screeny and then just grabbed the spear and teled.
Also, just 1.2m more exp till i reach 92 FM :D
-
I can't offer you much advice on Agility but as for the horn, it's worth getting. I've been training Firemaking this way and doing BA as a Collector. I AFK most of the time and just check the screen every minute or so to change calls. Collector is probably the most useless roll in BA so if you just stand there and "leach" not a lot of people will do much about it (or atleast this is how i found it to be).
The time it takes to fill the Horn is totally worth it. And if you can't face the idea of 6 Hours of BA to fill the Horn, then do it like i do and fill it up a bit, skill, repeat.
-
you don't need guthans for maging rex if you are 92 prayer.
got an archer ring already?
Oh the Guthan's is more just for the defensive aspect actually. Is there something better to use?
And yeah, i have Archer (i). Should i also invest in Seer(i) maybe?
And then i am yet to do the quests/minigames for Deflector and Elite Void, but once i have these objects, what do they replace?
-
I guess for kc, but you can use arma ammy. With hand cannon you cant use chest and deflector
Void doesn't go too well with duo's. We prefer staying for as long as possible, not leave as soon as possible.
I bought Arma, Guthans and Dharoks. The Arma is for Duo/Solo Arma as well as any task i choose to Range in the future (i can also use the Chest for DK's). The Guthan's is for Barrows and Maging Rex. The the DH i use on tasks like Metal lDragons and Black Demons, Black Dragons (when i don't KBD), LRC, etc. This is just to make things a bit more fun for me.
Then i have bought Magic Logs enough for 92 FM (using the Penance Horn). Then i really did think about not buying any of these items and rather just spending it all on Bandos, but i can't justify the cost vs. usability. Bandos i will use for 1 thing only, Slayer. Slayer is a skill i like to take my time on. So buying Bandos to "speed things up" will be quite the opposite of what i wish to do.
Oh also, i did a Zammy trip again yesterday with a friend. Despite the lack of attack bonus, Arma does work great there. K'ril hit me with his Mage attack maybe once every thirteen or fourteen times, which ended up saving me a lot of food and ending up in a much longer trip.
So looking at what i have bought, what can be replaced or added?
-
Yeah i was going to say buy one. It's been dropping for a while and probably won't rise anytime soon. It's not an item many people use (except maybe pk'ers who can't afford Div/Ely).
-
I found the best way to train Herblore (i did this till about level 82 i think) was to clean herbs. You usually make make a decent profit from this too. It's slow exp but at the lower levels you don't notice it.
-
Question Added.
-
Can always craft them into Amulets and String them using the Sting Jewellery Spell.
-
Dragon pickaxe is a fine choice. I found that superheat/mining gold multitask is a lot more fun with gold ores coming in faster.
Maybe also spend some money on fletching to do whilst slaying...Or you could buy some seeds to speed up to 85 farming :)
Funny how you go a 29m hilt-split today. Happened to me as well :thumbsup:
Oh really? How weird is that? Yeah i heard the guy that provided you with that 29m split is like really awesome.
But anyway i suppose i shall get the Pick then.
Also about the Fletching, i think that i am going to give that a go. I should probably start buying the supplies now if i plan on doing Slayer again in 10 - 12 days?
-
Is there really such a significant difference between Rune and Dragon Pick?
-
Well a year is a very long time. I've only been a member for about 14 months now and already achieved more than i could have ever imagined.
But as for my goals for 2011...I'd like to finally get 99 Slayer and 99 Prayer. I would also like to get 99 Construction, 99 Woodcutting and finally 99 Firemaking. As for the rest of my skills... i'd like to see them all go to 80 at least.
My bank... I don't really care about money but i'd like to own a Partyhat, or Maybe 3a Melee set.
And then finally i would like to reach 50m Defense exp.
Yeah... thats it :)
-
Flip.
I really have no need for more money. I see no point of having it really. Only reason i GWD is for the fun of it. Every other skill i intend to train will somehow pay for another skill. So seeing as my skills pay for themselves i really need no money. Did that sound like Mojo Jojo?
Anyway, i just need advice on what to spend on that will help me a bit, not really to help me make more money.

All i can really help you with it your FOG tactics. Soon as you grab the rock run to the "inner circle" where you receive i thin 9 or 10 charges at a time. I haven't played FOG in a while so i don;t quite remember. Anyway the reason i use this tactic is because the avg. FOG player wil think you are going to wall hug, so he's going to run on the outside and look for you against the wall. Chances are you will already have a good amount of charges before he finds you. After that, run into the centre and hide behind a house until he gets close. Walk into the house then. If the house teleports you to another house like it should, run out of the house and away from the centre, meaning run to the wall. Soon as you get to the wall use your tele orb and run to the opposite wall you used the orb at. Once again stand in the inner circle where you get 9 or 10 charges and wait till you can see the player. Then what u usually do is hide behind houses and use them soon as the player gets close.
Now i'm no pro but i do have ~21k rating so it's not like i'm a total fool.

Well i had a bit of luck at Arma earlier and walked away with a ~29m Hilt split. I have about 42m Cashpile now but i have really no idea what i am to use it on. I already have all the Slayer and GWD equipment i need (Karil Top + Skirt, Zammy Spear, Fury, Berserker Ring (i), Dragon Boots, Full Slayer Helm, Verac Skirt, Proselyte, SoL, Infinty Boots, Dragon Defender, Whip, Verac Helm, Blessed Spirit Shield).
I have basically all the essentials needed for everyday skilling. I am currently working my way towards 92 FM to get an Adze meaning i wont have to spend money on a Pick or a Hatchet which basically eliminates the cost of either of those two objects.
I have been away from RS for a while and i'm not really up to date with the things that have come out the past year, so i might not know of certain items that might make skilling easier/faster. Are there any such items that i could use the money on?
Otherwise, seeing as i enjoy both Arma and Zammy GWD, would upgrading from Karil to Arma be a worthy investment? Is there perhaps anything else i could buy?
I do not intend to raise Prayer now, so no need to suggest that. Also i do not intend to Cannon the remainder of my Slayer goal, so also no need to suggest that.
Thanks in advance!

Taking a week or so break from Slayer after reaching 97 today. Want to do a bit of skilling. I was considering getting the Penance Horn to speed things up. I think my highest BA level is Collector lvl 2. I assume it won't take me that long to get to lvl 5? But is it worth using the Horn? I know it doubles the Exp you get so on buy-able skills it cuts your cost in half, but is the time saved by the double Exp going to make up for the time spent recharging the horn?
My main aim was to use it on FM to speed up the path to 92. I might also use it for Mining and Agility too at a later stage.
Also, how exactly does one charge it?
Edit: Forgot to ask, but what logs should i be burning? What is the most economical? I have 79k Maples in my bank that is enough for 99 (without the Horn) but i also burn every Yew and Magic log i get from tasks. I have 14.2m cahspile but i'm not to keep on handing out a lot of it one a skill like FM. I really just want to get an Inferno Adze at this stage.
New Question: Okay so i have decided to go with the Penance Horn seeing as B.A is actually turning out to be fun. Question is, is it better to play one entire round, then skill and repeat? Or should i fill the entire Horn (i think 10 Rounds?) and then skill?
Also does anyone know how long the Horn lasts?
-
Previous Jad attempt was like this for me. I always seem to mess up with the prayer when Jad uses the same attack 2 or 3 times in a row. I'm so used to switching that i sometimes find myself switching from Mage to Range when he is still using Mage. Anyway i was brewed to just under max, got hit for something like 937 and ended up with something like 87. Luckily i recovered and killed him.
Also this kinda sounds like an experience with an ex:
and foolishly ignoring the warning, I entered it without any protection. As soon as I did, I was hit by one of their magical attacks. Fortunately, it was a zero, or I would have ended up dead otherwise.IRL close call?
-
do it like that, just like hit and run except you dont use a lot of energy
Yeah thats what i mean. Cept the guy in the vid isn't too good at it haha.
-
A few days back i asked about Sara GWD. I have decided that Verac is probably going to be my best choice at this stage. Just want to know if its better to walk her down the walk and hit, or if i should go with the hit and run?
-
Yeah if the Mager has to run around after drops of even if the Hybs have to run around you start messing up Lures or luring Prime/Supreme onto the Mager. It just makes life hard on everyone. Best is to either all Tribrid or the Mager just isnt part of the cs.
Quick 12m?

Quick ways to make money would be Green Dragons in CT with your best BoB. Take a Games Necklace for fast banking. About 1.3m gp/h.
Aviansies are good too, about 1.2m gp/h at 99 Ranged so just scale down a bit to see what you would make.
Doing regular herb runs will add to that, as well as doing mtk.
