Did i do a mistake? (Fast response please)

[Dire_Wolf]

I have recently used Claws at Guthix at Iron Dragons, and despite the drops aren't always good i have gotten fast kills and great exp in magic. The kills are as fast as i do with mele: my mele stats are 99.

 

 

 

Time is GP, and levels make you earn more cash. I used Claws of guthix for the fast magic levels and the accuracy of it, and also the speed of the kills.

 

 

 

Even though i must say i haven't earned much back: I have gotten good magic EXP: which i am after.

 

 

 

So i am asking: Is this right attitude, or should i maybe use Fire waves.

 

 

 

Remember: Claws of guthix is accurate with charge spell, and it also hits 20-30, something that id like to think is worth the money i spend on the runes.

 

 

 

Fire waves: Cheap but not as accurate, and hits rarely 21s.

 

 

 

So did i make a mistake with CLaws of guthix, or do you think i did a good choice?'

 

 

 

P.S I had metals as task.

Claws are about 600gp/cast.

 

Fire waves are about 400gp/cast.

 

 

 

Not that much difference. If you're happy with paying 200gp/cast extra for faster kills, just do it. I don't think it gives a lot more xp though, as the base xp for claws is 35 and it's 42.5 for fire waves. The higher hits make up for that though.

Well an easy solution:

 

go testing it..

 

 

 

Kill dragons for around 5 hours using both methods.. Now after it calculate the nett money spent (that is the money spent for casts minus the money from drops)..

 

 

 

let's say it's 200k/hour for claws (X)

 

and 120k/hour for waves (Y)

 

Also calculate the amount of xp/hour for both methods:

 

50k xp/hour, 4 gp/xp

 

40k xp/hour, 3 gp/xp

 

 

 

Now to get 1M xp you would spent:

 

claws: 1m/50k=20 hours +1M*4 = 4M

 

waves: 1M/40k=25 hours +1M*3 = 3M

 

 

 

 

 

So 5 hours extra for the xp, and 1M less to spent, if you make over -(3M-4M)/(25-20) = 200k/hour claws are better.. Or putting it in a general formula:

 

 

 

 

Alright, tipit apparantly doesn't like transparant images:

Thanks for calculation Pulli, but i rather not calculate something like this out. Anyhow i got dragon leg, paid for 2K more casts and also i hit 20-30s very accurate (Compared to firewave). So i am gonna stick with COG
