Andylax38's 9 Lob Bursting/Barraging Guide


andylax38

Recommended Posts

normally uou can get 440 per 1k barrage, since battle robes and SoL halves rune cost you are in essence casting 20k barrages therfore you should obtain 20*440= 8800 crims

So I was thinking of using the SOL and getting battle robes, but is the Tome of frost and the new necklaces worth it?

 

I don't think they'd help too much, unless you already have them. Not sure if the new necklace boosts would help with only one lob or every lob, since extreme mage pot boost only affects the lob you target. But I would assume it would affect every lob since I believe the SoL's boost effects every lob (not sure on this one). The tome of frost would help, but it wouldn't save too much money really, compared to the rest of the runes. Unless you already have the tokens for the new stuff, I'd say its not worth it, unless you enjoy dungeoneering and are willing to give up tokens.

Alright, thanks :)

I'm thinking of using my triple charm from familiarisation here.

The guide, however, lists a method that depends on both efficiency and longevity. Can anyone recommend me an outfit that maximises DPS for a small period of space (40 minutes).

 

I have access to:

Extreme potions (no super prayer/overloads though), SOL, Ahrim's set, Mystic's set, Unicorn Stallion, imbued rings (of any kind) and all the assortment of high leveled jewels.

 

Thanks in advance!

The problem is once you increase your mage bonus past a certain point (+90 I think) it doesn't help you hit any better because the lobs are so weak to mage. So the only way to help you kill faster since your on a time limit would be potions and % boosting gear like SOL. Maybe someone else can help you more...

missing SoL and battle robes, not new news im guessing lol

tip, if u want to spend the money, buy a god cloak insted of a god cape, it has slightly less mage attack but +3 prayer.

 

anyway, what would be the best shields to bring.

obviusly an arcaine ss would pwn, but besides that what should i take? time of frost (i dont have it but im planing to anyway), mage book? ect.

 

also for ammys, whats better: arc stream or fury?

I want to try this, but I'm really bad at making money.

 

I have 92 magic, and I was thinking about trying out the highly underrated void mage set and an ancient staff (can't afford sol, don't have dungeoneering for tome of frost).

 

Void mage set is really much better than most people think it is. First of all, +30% magic accuracy means less splashing, or possibly about the same amount because it doesn't give much magic attack bonus. Also, the ranged defense for just the 4 pieces is +87, as are all 3 melee defenses. They are, as far as I know, the most defensively well-rounded magic robes in the game. With the right equipment you could get the ranged defense of the void mage set to about +100. Using a glory, unholy book, ancient staff, mystic boots (white ones go with the rest of the outfit better I think), god cape, and Explorer's Ring 3 (+1 mage attk, +1 prayer, unlimited cabbage-port if you're about to die, which is about as about good as a ring of life if you're paying attention, possibly better because you don't lose it) You can get +47 magic attack. It's not just +30% magic attack from the set, its +30% accuracy, which takes into account your magic level, so it's probably actually almost as good as the setup in the original guide at higher magic levels, and a lot cheaper. I won't pretend to know exactly how magic accuracy is calculated, but I can't imagine that this setup would be much lower accuracy at magic levels in the 90s.

 

Also, I could maybe use a stole and a book of balance to boost ranged defense up to +91 and prayer up to +15, albeit bringing magic attack down to +35. I'll see how it goes, and if I splash too much go back to glory and unholy book.

 

What do you think that my arguments for the void mage setup? Do you think this setup could be effective? I'd really like some feedback here, but please only constructive criticism (i.e. no void bashing. I realize people think it's stupid, pointless, waste of bank space, etc. If I haven't convinced you, please keep it to yourself).

 

Also, following on the theme of the first line in my post:

Is it at all possible to make money from bursting rock lobsters, or do the drops at least pay for the runes?

No, be prepared to lose almost all the money you spend on runes

Wouldn't recommend bursting with a bad connection but you wouldn't necessarily die if you Dc'd. From what I've heard it's about 600-800 cast per hours so it would take at least 4 hrs per trip.

 

I was planning on barraging with sol and battle robes. How long does it take for each 1k casts?

 

Probably take you an hour and a half.

 

How many casts do battle robes last until they degrade?

 

Never used them, not a big mini game person maybe someone else can help you.

I'll add SoL now and check out Battle Robes. From what I remember Mage book is generally the one you want if you can't afford Arcane. As for the Fury vs. Arc Stream it really depends on whether you need the +4 Mage bonus from the Arc stream or not. I don't think the +15% mage damage the Arc stream has effect all the lobs your bursting, probably just the one your attacking. So it's just if you want the extra +4 mage the Arc stream gives or all the Defense bonuses you get from the Fury.

I used to use void mage there since I was below 70 defence... there's no noticeable difference between ahrims and void mage since the lobsters' magic defence is so low. Ahrims is better to use though since it's less risky. void mage generally sucks compared to ahrims, though-- the 30% magic accuracy boost sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. ahrims gives you much more accuracy than the void mage set.

A note on void setups: with void deflector, sol, arcstream, ahrim's top, infinity boots, seers (i) and god cape, you get 84 magic attack, which is about as accurate as the same setup with ahrim's.

The prayer potions are overkill for 2k casts, at least at 95 prayer. With the four pieces in the top row on during luring, you have 41 prayer bonus.

with fury, inf boots, seer ring (normal), god cape and SOL.

 

with void; deflecter, gloves, elite bottom.

mage attack: 76

x1.3 = 95 (yes the void set does not work like that but it gives an idea of how it would end up)

prayer boonous: 9

avrige defence: about 120

cost: 23 million and the time to get void

 

remove void and replace with ahrims and arcane ss.

mage attack: 130

prayer boonous: 8

avrige defence: about 130 to 150

cost: a bit under a billion

 

void is compairible to ahrims but i would still call ahrims better.

its worth noteing that going for weaker equipment will widen the gap betwen void and ahrims so if you dont want to be around here with 50 million geepee of armour risked alone, dont use void.

Max void setup with sol has +84 magic atk, max ahrim's setup with sol has 22 + 20 + 8 + 6 more, or 140. Ahrim's max attack roll is about 0.5% higher.

 

Void costs about 7m + arcstream + void (arcstream being around 3 hrs and void around 10 hrs). Ahrim's is around 90m more, because of the 3rd age hat and arcane spirit shield (ahrim's robeskirt is also like 6m). Without ass it loses much defence and +5 magic attack. Without arcane, void has the same accuracy and more ranged defence (which is what you need anyway).

 

Since void is useful for melee and ranged as well, I'd say it's a wiser investment than 6m in ahrim's skirt and 4m in a mage's book, let alone ass/3rd age (for bursting, arcane is still better for slayer/solo rex etc).

i was jsut wondering, becouse if ur burseing lobs ur gona take a SoL anyway.

 

would it be posible to not pray melee and just use its specal?

 

even if the specal does block enough damage, at 100% bar useage (or 90% with that ring) how often would i not be able to use it?

You can spec every 5 minutes, or every 4.5 with the ring, or every 20/7 minutes with perfect special recover usage.

So here is my info after my time at rock lobsters.

 

casts=17985

crimms=5676

blues=174

greens=1365

golds=1744(but tbh never really ever picked them up)

 

I did not do my 20 000 casts. I got what I needed to get 96 summon. So now I started that tonight.

 

Also started at 87 magic ended with about 80k to 93. Also never had a hard time finding worlds.

 

Have a great time at rock lobster. :mrgreen:

runes for 2k casts, full battle + SoL (so 4k casts), 74 prayer, +29 prayer bonus (could get it higher).

 

how many pots should i take?

 

I doubt you would need more than 6 and you probably wont use them all if you've been a few times before and know what your doing.

This is a nice guide! I decided to go down there bursting last night (first time) and this has helped me a lot. I did mess up a bit, but I did figure out a way to get 9 lobs at a secondary spot, the one where you have to go around the wall? Straight from the ladder spot, and along the wall. This is probably old news, but I may as well post it.
