o_knames Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 According to the Prayer guide, Monkey Guard bones are worth 18 Prayer exp. That is only half true. There are two flavors of Monkey Guards: the ones you can walk through and the ones that block. The bones of the ones you can walk through are worth 18 exp. The bones of the ones that block are worth 20 exp. This is a small difference, but I'm long-term training melee there and banking all the bones, so with my altar I'm earning 8 exp. more just for going after the blockers, which are otherwise indistinguishable. This would affect the Prayer guide, the bestiary for the Monkey Guards, the item database for the Monkey bones -guard-, and potentially even the Prayer calculator, which would be of great assistance to me personally.

kingmickez25 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The problem is how are u gonna name them? There already named no beard and bearded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_knames Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I knew about the bearded/no beard, but I hadn't looked to see which blocked and which didn't. In any case, I don't think you have to rename anything, just say that bones from the bearded monkeys are worth 20, non-bearded are worth 18.

slayershunt Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 where exactly on the site would this be detailed? the prayer guide? item db? prayer calc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_knames Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 where exactly on the site would this be detailed? the prayer guide? item db? prayer calc? Prayer Guide: Currently, Monkey Bones are listed only as 18 xp. I guess a separate 20 xp line could be added and then a description added to both (non-bearded for 18,bearded for 20). Item DB: Under uses for Monkey bones -guard-, it already talks about the 18 xp. I might add in the description of the two types. Beastiary: It might be useful to explain the difference between those that block (bearded) and those that don't. I guess it's not necessary to get into the prayer xp difference. Prayer Calc/Planner: Monkey bones -guard- are untradeable, so I'm not sure how many people would use the calc/planner. I am saving all bones as I train 99 melees, so it would be slightly useful to me.

I am saving all bones as I train 99 melees, so it would be slightly useful to me. I was bored and I decided to check on this for you. In fact, there are two different prayer experience rates for burying bones by the two different types. The pictures happen to be identical to each other and even to big bones, but the bones from the Monkey Guard you CAN walk through (non-bearded) give you 18 experience. The bones from the one you CANNOT walk through (bearded) give you 20 experience.

bluehooloovo Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Monkey Guard has been split into bearded and non-bearded versions, with information about the different exp for their bones. Thanks. :) [hide=]The light at the end of the tunnel is the demon-infested lava pit.17 blue = sadhoo = wholoo = 100vo = broken ice cream cone = sad children = sad babies = dead babies bluehooloovo = sadwho100deadbabies = Who is sad about 100 dead babies?
