Shades or Ectofuntus....

[Raven6666]

I'm deciding to get 70 Prayer so that my 99 Defence has almost all the complements. There is a decision where I could either burn Shades, or use Dragon Bones at the Ectofuntus.

 

 

 

I'll need 174, 593 Exp to get to that level (currently Level 67).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I burn Shades (Asyn) it'll take me 2117 to get the Level, I have a Yew tree planted, and I can simply cut logs from that (takes a day or less) and use those logs to burn, meaning less loss, although I could just buy them at a hopeful 280gp ea, which will set me back 592 760gp, Olive Oils(3) will cost 26 ea approx. and I will require 2823 of them, setting me back for 73 390gp. Altogether it will cost me 666 150gp excluding Barrows Repairs costs. Hopefully a Treasure Trail will pay off for most of it. Along with the 3 Prayer levels, I would gain 6 Firemaking Levels, as well as (if I cut my own logs) 2 Woodcutting Levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I Ecto. Dragon Bones on the other hand, it'll take 607 Bones. If I kill Blue Dragons, the food cost and the Barrows Repair Costs may be a lot higher, though I may still get a Level3 ClueScroll, which could pay off for the repairs. I would make no money unless I received a fairly good item, though some I may keep. The Bones per Inventory will be half as I would be collecting the Hides. If I Craft them and Alch them, no Crafting Levels to be gained, and a bit of time used to Tan the hides, as well as Craft + Alch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After providing this information, do you think it's best to Burn Shades, or Ecto. Dragon Bones?

ecto all the way, thats what i always do. shades are extremly annoying and not always reliable. ectofuncus is always the same thing and ALOT faster. plus if you kill your own blue drags(i would suggest green, much faster to get) then you will be making around 2k ea off the hides AND you get free att, str watever exp with the free bones.

Ectofunctus, my dear, Ectofunctus...

Shades, if I am correct aren't the same all the time. It's a fun minigame, but not really a good way to train fm/prayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus, don't you need to bless all that oil? That can be pretty hard to do. Really, ectofunctus is fast, but I would use house alter... takes only a FEW more bones, for a TON less time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And you can usually find someone willing to open their house for ya :)
