Is Pest Control a good way of training?

[Chaos_Reborn]

Just wanted to know since I heard it got nerfed somewhat.

Yeah so did I but even if it wasn't nerfed I would never suggest it to anyone to train. Try slayer out, you will make cash, get higher skill total, kill new monsters and have more fun as there is tons of variety within the skill :).

It only seems to be worth power-levelling at Pest Control if you are 100+ combat, so you can use the best boat. Otherwise, it seems like a waste of time considering the loss of drops, xp, and the time it takes per game, that of which can't be a definite win.

 

 

 

I would suggest Guthans at Bandits, Dharoks at Ape Atoll, Giant Spider Killing, Slayer with a Black Mask, or killing undead with a Salve (e) Amulet for best results. :

Aha I see, thanks for that. I'm a 40 defense rune pure, if that affects anything. Did you only get one ticket before per PC game? And how long does it take for you to get 100 tickets on a rough average?

[Dexek]

You used to get 1 ticket per game, but the tickets used to provide you with more xp/ticket. Now you get 1 ticket on the lowest boat, 2 on the medium, and 3 on the highest level boat, I believe.

 

 

 

I am unsure of the times, but it generally doesn't take very long on the 100+ boat. Longer on the lower level boats.

 

 

 

I'm a 45 defence pure, and the best training methods I used were D-Hally on Fire Giants, Black Mask on slayer tasks, Salve (e) on undead, or power training on mossies/giant spiders. I would suggest trying some of these, as they were quite effective for myself.

It's actually 2 for the low game, 3 for medium and 4 for the highest.

Thanks. I had thought the ticket rewards seemed even poorer than I remembered. :roll:
