Is it smart to use pouch swap option at Gu'tanoth,or should i High Alch my pouches instead,since from what I see (idk if im right) I see I get around 100 gp extra covering the coast of nature rune additionally to base price of pouch.In that place i get 70% of shards back which is about same (base price of pouch without those extra 100 gp I get from High Alchemy)

 

Example: Spirit Scorpion pouch vaules 1109 if High Alched.If I trade it for shards I get 40 shards back = 40 x 25 = 1000 GP

 

So Swap or High Alch

 

 

 

However This calculation is related to spirit scorpion and it is similar to granite crab,desert wyrm, but for albino rat the benifit of high alching is only like 70 gp instead of regular 100-109 for other,altho alternative for blues - spirit kalphite recovers 109 i think,and it is right after albino rat,however potatoe cactus values over 1100 gp each!

 

(So,sub question - albino rat or spirit kalphite for training with blue charms)

swapping is faster; only alch pouches which give a profit over swapping and only alch if you want mage-xp

and save your blue charms, very rare and nice to have after lvl 58+ i think

This, blues are rare stock pile them until you hit the sweet point of the blues (55+).

 

Use all your golds, then greens then crimson and finally once you hit the sweet point blues.

well look at it from a skilling standpoint - if you get more money to buy shards then you will just trading for shards, alch :P

But why to keep blue charms when i can buy ready-to-use pouches at later lvls? .. is it because people wont be selling them or what?

 

 

 

Edit: Some one above just said "swapping is faster; only alch pouches which give a profit over swapping and only alch if you want mage-xp"

 

Isn't swapping only faster If I use Ooglog method-that means i have noted secondaries with me.Btw when I made this thread i wasnt thinking of having stuff noted with me,i had running bank/oglog in my mind,but i might be wrong,i'll check secondaries prices once again and think over it. its much faster i guess idk untill i try

Because there is a HUGE rise in xp for higher level pouches that use blue charms.

Edit: Not sure what you are talking about here.

 

You can bring noted pouches to ogre trader and you get spirit shards, which are stackable so you only need

 

1 trip.

Did you add in the cost of Natures? Swap.

My guides on summoning will always refer to swaping the pouches as the most economic way to lvl in summoning.

 

Also buying pouches from GE to swap for shards is a more cost effective way to lvl.

 

As a foot note, use crimson charms to level, save blues for spirit Kyatt pouches (don't convert pouches to scrolls) use greens for Bunyip and Hydra's when you get to those level and take your time, do it in stages.

I did add the coast of nature runes.I dont see why person below confirmed swapping is so good

 

 

 

Look: (Prices taken at moment of making this post)

 

 

 

1.Alching Yew Longbows

 

Price of nature rune 239 gp averge.Yew Longbow 645 gp averge,768 gp alched = 768 - 645 = 123 gp difference. 239gp - 123gp = 116 gp loss

 

 

2.Alching Spirit Scorpion Pouches (For example,and it is very similar with any other popular pouch,but spirit kalphite from what i checked)

 

Price of nature rune 239 gp averge.Spirit Scorpion Pouch 942 gp averge,1109 gp alched = 1109 - 942 = 167. 239 - 167 = 72 gp loss . IT IS EVEN BETTER TO ALCH THAN YEW LONGBOW STRINGED AT THIS MOMENT - FROM WHAT I SEE

 

 

 

Advantage of fishing colonny method: You dont hassle with re-buying,since there is a danger you could accidently sell more than you want,and there is no "x" option for "buy" in general store that is used - from what i know - needs to be confirmed.Other than that I dont have to use swap option and I dont have to buy shards on demand.Other than that it isnt much closer than fishing colony bank/altar,if compared, generally
