Ultimate Guide to Ancestral Bones - Range XP + Money! v1.8

[Aslan]

You may want to look into the Amulet of Inoculation. Its an enchanted Ruby Bracelet that protects against Disease. For ANY player doing the Thieving method, this is a must to help avoid disease. May come in handy for Ranging too, if the monsters are still aggressive and safe-spotting isn't working. After they go non-aggressive, you can switch back to Vamps/Dark Gloves.

 

I tried the bracelet method, didn't work very well. From 10"damage" to 9, it'll take too long for the bracelet to work properly.You'd need about 3? of them to absorb all that damage.

[Ned]

It was a good suggestion, lxindor.

 

I had seen this bracelet in the KBase (I was coincidentally looking for the bonuses a c-wars brace gave, and it caught my attention), and had meant to test it, but Aslan helps me out yet again (thank you very much : ).

 

 

 

I'll probably add to the guide that its bonus versus disease is negligable, and it is much easier to buy a relicym's balm from the Ogre store outside the tombs.

[kdtaereo]

I do zogre killing and i usually love it.

 

 

 

I would like to add:

 

 

 

- Take the gold charms, they WILL add up.

 

- If you got 70+def and 89+ cbt and using void, buy like 5 balms at the ogre just outside and tank them, you don't need a safespot.

 

- If you got an altar at ur POW, before teleing with ring of duelling, tele house to recharge prayer, then you can use ranging prayers to kill them. It really helps. If you're 60- prayer use the 10% ranged prayer, if you're 60+ use the 15%

 

-The ogre coffin keys aren't a 100% drop.

 

 

 

At least that is what i do

I agree, I do take the gold charms. 1 inventory space sacrificed is not a big deal.

 

Safespots take out a need for tanking, at no real cost except the accumulator doesn't function, you could do it anyway I suppose.

 

I like the altar idea, I'll add this.

 

And I also remember one time not getting an ogre key, but it's probably a 99% chance, this happened to me once (out of 600+ kills), thanks for pointing this out.

 

 

 

Great feedback! Thanks! :

Again, they hit EXTREMELY low, even against Rune pures and the like. As in you only need to 1 monkfish every few trips with very low defense. Even with void, you wouldn't need defense... there really is 0 reason to use safespots/torag helm.

[Ned]

You're definitely right that they don't damage you much (no need for food really), but the reason I say there is need for defense is that even if they do 1 damage they disease you. You want them to keep hitting 0s, death is not a concern here.

 

 

 

I get hit at least 3 times a trip with 82 defense with the torags setup. Maybe I'm just unlucky?

[Inuashakent]

That's what they made recyli... something for.Remember, stat reduction doesn't really affect you.

Did you use the void setup? Or did you use armadyl/black d hide?

 

Decent loot for a 6:30 trip. Like you said, it definitely depends on range level. I'm currently trying to do 100 trips to get an average loot per trip/time per trip. There's no way to tell a player exactly how much profit or xp per hour they will get.

 

 

 

Very helpful though, thank you! :D

I used this setup

 

 

 

 

 

 

And after I get home from school, I am going to find a better average.

[kdtaereo]

Np, and if you want, i could create a banner for the guide, what you think about that?

[heavens18]

o.O this looks fun ive been wanting to level my range up for awhile now think ill go do that later

[chris1216]

Unless they've removed it, there is a safespot next to the coffin nearest to the stairs leading down. No tanking required.

 

 

 

Also, void would outkick black dhides by a fair amount since the zogres don't have very high range defense.

[Atroxide]

Wow, just got a clue scroll from the coffin, didn't know it had clue scrolls in there...

Nice, do you know what level clue it is?

Thanks, I think I've used it before, I'll add it as Safespot #3 in the future.

 

Also, I'm thinking of removing the tank setup altogether, as using safespots is much easier, regardless of combat level.

Sure why not? :

[Atroxide]

I don't even safe-spot them, I just attack them. They rarely do damage and if their stat-reducing poison stuff harms my range I just pot back up.

 

 

 

PS: when I get on tomorrow I will do the clue and tell you what level it is.

[kdtaereo]

I think the clues found in the coffins are lvl 1

 

 

 

and i'm done with the banner

 

 

 

what you think about it?

Time for me to be picky :geek: !

 

 

 

I like the concept, perhaps the background color could be more dark (brown/black) as that is the color theme of the Zogre Tombs

 

 

 

The Zogre Hunting guide title is a good idea as well!

 

 

 

Also, maybe it could be stretched to fill more of the screen (horizontally)?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice banner, though!

You're right. Many high levels like you and I would do this. Lower levels reading this guide would be diseased way to often, however, so safespots are more useful to them.

In this week i can't update the banner, i'm studying too much :ugeek: so next weekend i make another :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for anything, i'm not any pro at photoshop also.

[Ned]

No worries :thumbup:

 

 

 

Good grades > RuneScape imo :)

[Ned]

Some typos fixed. Updated to 1.8 :)

[Rubenik1]

Im 99 range + got void and pots, how many exp and money/hour is that?

 

 

 

I'm basically doing it cause of the money, can i do it in a pvp world to build up some pvp rating?

 

 

 

PS: Sorry for my bad english, it's not my main language ;p

[Drags8696]

hay im traing here atm and if you want i can get you a pic of the final bone you dont have and i can also log my trips for you too.

 

 

 

pic of last bone:

 

 

[img=http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq111/drags8696/bone-1.png]

 

 

 

so far my best trip was 2 ourg bones and 4 fayrg bones in one trip and I've notice im averaging around atleast 2 ancesteral bones each trip.

 

Also, ive notice that there are some other safe spots you didnt mention ill get you some pics of them if you want me too just ask.

[Ned]

Wow, I feel badly that I have not responded to this thread for a very long time.

 

I'm on it!

[Deathmath]

Nice... Might give it a shot with my new 70 ranged :)

 

 

 

In any case this is my thought on familiars from talking to my clan. If you cannon get a karamanthlu (sp?) overlord then get the highest BoB you can. Just because everything before that fails. Also don't bring the snail or the kalphite: they are EXTREMELY fast to expire and carry only a few things/are expensive on the GE. I'd say high level combat familiar>karamanthlu overlord>terrorbird>bull ant>nothing
