Eonrogue Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't know if this is just me or not but... I decided to try out the brine saber and i didnt feel like going back to Mos' Le Harmless. So i went to the crabs from RFD. Im slaughtering them decently with the saber, when to my surprise, I find oysters among the crab meat. Has this happened to anyone else?

12pure34 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Well, oysters aren't that great of a drop. But what is the ratio? This could be handy to create a LOT of bolt tips! I remember the oyster tipped bolts. I'll have a look at the guide. Pearl tipped IRON bolts. Attach a pearl to it and echant it you need 1 cosmic + 2 water (water staff) 10 bolts at a time. Is great for the water effect. Namely, water damages fire monsters BIG TIME. Guess what our favorite ranging monster is? .. FIRE giants? Conclusion, bring a lot of iron bolts --> chisel and a knife or I don't know. Then bring a huge stack of cosmics (which I can double craft) to the place. Make infinite super bolts for fire giants Combat exp + Ranging exp + Fletching exp + Magic exp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12pure34 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 So really, what monster or where, do you have the best drop rate or fishing rate to get oyster pearls? This might be interesting for the die-hard fire giant killers. Although I am not sure if it is even effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eonrogue Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 i got more oysters then crab shell drops, id like to say 2 oysters per 1 shell. If i remember correctly. all my oysters had pearls in them, i dont know if that the case for every one Tip.it's official Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the special is powerful, it's not frequent enough to be worth using a weapon that much slower than a shortbow. It is slower which is .. pretty much very true. But hey, give it a shot. You might even like it? It is pretty decent experience to make them. I can make a little over 1k cosmics in about 20 minutes. So that is enough for 10k bolts. If really (and I will test this out) the crabs THAT much pearls. I could really see something. Although I do doubt it. I just got a little bit overenthousiastic. I will try it out later this day or tomorrow and we will see the result. Maybe it suprises you, maybe it suprises me.

12pure34 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 So I am trying this out and I'll edit along the way. 21:30 started killing crabs. Carying but a DDS and barrows gloves. So no great boosts. Not getting THAT many oysters. I think 1 in every 7-10 kills. Pretty .. not common o well. Im trying to get a few extra bolt tips. I brought 230 iron bolts and a chisel. 21:35 Sometimes I get a double drop. Also, its about 80% oysters here. Maybe even a higher percentage. Or am I just lucky?! 21:39 .. 78 bolt tips collected. Not really hurying or so. Not the best weapon or stat boost. And no wealth. The ratio of pearls in oyster is aproximatly 90-95%. High.. Drop rate seems to be about 1 in 7 (?!) Not bad, but really not great.. :( 21:46 walking towards fire giants now with full dragon hide (black) Crossbow, unholy book, archer helmet. Rune x-bow :) 90 Echanted Pearl tipped bolts in my inventory (not more :( ) We will see the results in a sec +132 ranged bonus and 70 ranged. 21:56 .. dont bother The spec is awesome. Looks great.. but 140 shots (you can pick the bolts up) and only 4 specials. To random. The bolts, I can hit 10 with mithril arrows and MSB. But I can hit 12 with these bolts. I like that. The speed is .. mehhhh even if you can get ALOT of oysters, I do not advise it. The specials to random, the speed is .. mehhh.. and well, its alot of time and effort for pretty much nothing. O ye.. :the Special hit a 15! (and i believe it can do harder!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eonrogue Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 its was more than 1 in 7 for me i would say 2 in 5 Tip.it's official Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craven_Image Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Could be useful if you ever need pearls but they aren't that useful in my opinion. 99 Magic, 99 Defence, 99 Strength, 99 Attack, 99 Hitpoints, 99 Fletching, 99 Woodcutting, 99 Firemaking, 99 Thieving, 99 Ranged, 99 Prayer, 99 Cooking, 99 Fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordfan21 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Best oyster pearl droppers by far are Dagannoth Prime and Supreme. I go there multiple times a day just to collect oysters. I usually tele with about 25-27 oysters in my inv. If i see a mud battlestaff ill take it because i like magic but woodcutting is really boring so i usually dont bother with axes.

They are that great, that he talks to every player that owns them, to bring them next. If you shoot with those, he stands a chance. Really, the special is to rare. And the oysters from the crabs to. If you kill a few more then 10 ;) you will notice. Try getting an inventory full of those things. If you are giong to the KBD, bring normal outfit and melee. Or whatever you did take. But do not bother on the pearl tipped bolts. Instead I just bought a karil X-bow to fire at Ahrims :P THAT is a bolt you should use, bolt racks! :-w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondea0 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 maybe the dragon thing is onto something. crossbows are 1 handed and you CAN weild a sheild while firing. do you get me *nudge* *nudge* maybe if there were no safespots discuss a combat reformation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was level 81 Range, and the spec seems to come quite often, water splashing on the fire dragon, hitting rather high. If you are a weak meleer and/or prefer Range, this could be a good alternative.

Guess he got lucky or I got unlucky. Still I would prefer the melee. Although if your range is a lot higher and there is someone coming with melee. The bolts could be decent. The archer doesn't even need melee prayer, but magic prayer instead. Saves a lot of food for them : But importantly, what are your melee abilities, what did you take?

xSxqPowerx Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hmm maybe if crossbows weren't terrible... Also range is just kinda bad for kbd unless you hit a few lucky specs with ruby bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
