Very noob questions about brews/restores

[ilovecardj]

Ive read a lot of topics and everything but i've never had to actually use these yet

 

 

 

I'll be going for a fire cape soon probably and I hear all about ratios like 1 brew 2 restores etc.

 

 

 

So a brew gives you+20% def and heals hp? (with negative effects to attack etc)

 

 

 

and restore restores all stats to full after (Including prayer % ?)

 

 

 

How abouts do you go using these efficiently

 

 

 

At what hp remainder should I use a brew? why?

 

 

 

After I use a brew I must restore? And then range pot after that?

 

 

 

SHould i be using restores just like I would a prayer pot if I need the prayer?

 

 

 

It all sounds so confusing. Do i ever drink 2 brews in a row? I'd test these things out myself if they weren't so expensive,

 

 

 

ANd last thing. If i drink a super restore after every brew, why would I need extra restores instead of prayer pots?

[asianboy7o7]

3 doses of brews in a row then a super restore dose

 

 

 

giving you 45 hp+defense(not stacking)+all stats to normal

[ultimatballr]

You use the extra sup restores as prayer pots. They are more expensive but its much easier to do it that way than try to find a balance of all 3 pots.

 

 

 

Like the poster before me said, 3 brew doses and you will need a sup rest. (if you take 4 doses then use sup rest your stats will still be lower than norm)

 

 

 

Always go in the order of brew, rest, then range pot. (I messed this up when I first went for my cape)

 

 

 

Try to hold off on healing until you will need 2 or 3 brew doses to heal. This minimizes the "waste" of super restore doses. However never hesitate to take a super restore dose if your prayer gets low. (if you do see your prayer getting low, before you take a sup rest dose, check if you can use a brew dose just to keep your health maxed)

 

 

 

Thats pretty much all I tried to do with Brews and restores on my fire cape try.

Thank you very much for the advice guys :)

 

 

 

Also quick question about caves

 

 

 

I have void. I should use it correct?

 

 

 

My friend is trying to say use either dhide or karils, but i think thats just stupid. or is he right?

 

 

 

 

 

Probly have this set up

 

 

 

Full void/fury/snake skin boots/ accumulator

 

 

 

 

 

with rune cbow / broad bolts and 100 diamond (e) for jad.

 

 

 

I might buy an archers ring then sell it after cape.

 

 

 

Ranger boots and zammy book arent options.

 

 

 

Should i use damaged book for prayer bonus anyways?

[coldsorcu]

If I remember correctly, voids defence bonus wasn't too good.

 

The best would V helm, skirt and a black dhide body/karils body.

 

And you could always loan ranger boots from a friend :roll:

[green9090]

Your defense is not high enough to use void.

 

 

 

Most people are too lazy to figure this out, but the fight caves work quite fine if you bring 1 super restore every brew, and the rest prayer potion. You can then bring a holy wrench and end up with plenty of prayer, and cheaper.

[ilovecardj]

alright thanks for the info. IF i got 90 defense would void be an option? If not ill probly give this a go around 85 range.

 

 

 

Ill see if I can get lent some ranger boots as well

[Great_one]

i admit i have not even tried for a fire cape but i have done a bit of it just for fun and i found that guthans set is really a good option for the time before the 360's come out as it will reduce the prayer and sara brew usage

[wioneo]

Using restores as prayer potions always seemed so wasteful to me...I'd suggest that you only take enough restores to cover your brews(3 brew/rest) and 2 extras for accidents, then fill the rest with prayer potions. I only used 3 brews before Jad(do NOT switch off mage prayer until you KNOW that the 360s are dead), and if I had only brought restores, that wouldve been a pretty big waste of money.

 

 

 

I agree on using guthans, and definately advise against using void, because you do need a bit of defense(no idea how pures do it), and dragonhide would be better than karils, because you do take a few melee hits, and if you get hit by any magic attacks, your bonus won't help much...
