battlestaff buying

[the_korny]

Hey everyone,

 

 

 

I'm in the process of buying battlestaffs because....I want to.

 

 

 

 

 

I want to get everyone's opinions on where I should buy them.

 

From Baby Yaga on Lunar Isle or the Mage's Guild.

 

 

 

Mage's Guild:

 

start cost: 7000

 

final cost: 7028

 

avg. cost: 7014

 

 

 

 

 

Baby Yaga:

 

start cost: 7000

 

final cost: 7280

 

avg. cost: 7140

 

 

 

If it was that simple I would just buy at Mage's Guild, but its not. As many of you know, the staffs at the Mage's Guild are usually sold out or have one of two left. The fact that there are frequently only a few left made me modify the average cost to 7021 (big deal).

 

 

 

The difference in average cost is 119gp. This means that shopping at Baby Yaga's house would cost me an average of 119gp more per staff as opposed to the Mage's Guild.

 

 

 

But the time saved by shopping at Baby Yaga's house may make up for the extra cost.

 

 

 

Please post your opinions.

what about the varrock staff shop?

 

 

 

Alternatively, what about all 3? if you have a house at yanille with varrock portal on lunar, you can easily reach all three shops before you hop to a different server.

For me in the past it has depended on if i was planning on buying any other runes, and whether i wanted to world hop, or do something awaiting spawns.

 

 

 

If just after staves, and world hopping baba yaga's hut for sure

 

 

 

If after runes as well, i found the price jump at bab yaga's hut Vs. Mageguild too high so mage guild it is.

 

 

 

If not world hopping I have often mined essence and then every 3rd or 4th run popped into mage guild shop usually (if lucky) there's 4 or 5 staves re-stocked by then.

 

 

 

Best of luck whichever way you decide,
