TriangleNub Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Is it worth it to kill only the Minions? I got Full Void Melee+BGS but I don't think I can compete with the higher levels killing the General. Is it worth it at all to kill Minions and if so what should my setup be?

toast647 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Um...the rate for armour off minis is really bad..and they don't even drop things that are half decent like rune. It's not worth it, imo.

compfreak847 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Nope. I bandos'd hard for a week and a half, getting roughly 2.5k boss kills, most with team. Consider that 7.5k minion kills. I averaged a shard around every 500-1k kills (rough) and everything else is basically garbage, almost all of the drops being coins. I laugh at high level lechers with godswords not realizing that their profit is somewhere south of 100k per hour, and the danger is high. Story time: (does not apply to W6, just thought it was good\bad). My team was killing graador as usual, with everything going fine. We were somewhere around 20 kills, with our tank doing great (We can usually get well over 100 kills). A 132 with full void, ags, fire cape, strength ammy etc. comes in (Yes, this is all true), and rather then finding a team starts leeching off the minions. We don't miss the drops, as they are usually rubbish, but the lack of food drops for the tank hurts. We figure he was just waiting for his team, so we waited a few kills before politely asking him to leave. He refused, and responded with a bunch of flaming and name calling. At that point we went into our anti-leech arraignment, piling into a corner. Luckily he did not follow us. Soon Graador decided to target him, and we all stood and watched the fireworks. Just a hint: full void does NOT have great range defence. He tried hard, but it soon became obvious his inventory was set for a long, low damage trip (All pots and little food). He was doing fairly well, with Graador close to half health, when the big hits started to roll in. He was at low health, and started eating\drinking, when 3 30+'s rolled in, with a few assorted minion hits. Bam, he died. Now for the sad part - we sat there staring at the grave, then continued killing Graador. All of us had 70+ prayer and could easily have spared the points, but out of sheer annoyance or viciousness we decided that justice had been enforced and let it fall apart. Let me clarify: I'm not sure exactly what he kept, but he appeared to have maxed strength bonus, meaning his ags and other equipment would probably protect over his fire cape and most of his void, two things which cannot be bought and require a lot of patience, skill, and time to get. He came back about 20 minutes later, and was absolutely furious, soundly cursing out us, bandos, runescape, and the world in general. He brought a few other friends with him, many with AGS's and our puny 4 man team couldn't get the kill and ended up hopping. Hows that for a bittersweet story? Too this day I'm wondering if I should have blessed it. Probably should have, but it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. Wow, didn't mean to put up a wall of text at 12:30 at night... oh well.

Bad911 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Lol, sorry, not thread hijacking. Compfreak, wheres your blog?! :thumbup: Very nice story. Make a blog please for more stories? Even if your blog is short, only takes a few minutes. On Topic: If you have a BGS and know what your doing, you should just arrange a team yourself. Or just solo the other bosses.

wioneo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 You'd be better off joining a 110+ godsword team, that is unless you have rubbish luck like me... and compfreak, I was in a similar situation to yours, except I did bless the leechers grave.

I don't see even the slightest reason to waste so much prayer on somebody who obviously didn't care about you at all.
