November 24, 200817 yr What is a good balance of monkfish, prayer, range, and anti fire pots for mithril dragons around my levels using unicorns? I use ruby bolts for half the kill and switch to diamond, by the way, but I haven't been back since I was using bunyips with range and defense a bit lower, and I don't want to go and have to drop food for drops or run out of potions early, etc. Barrows: 9~2 V Brass,V Flail,2 Dh Plate,V Helm,V Skirt,T Legs,Malevolent Shield + DKing: 48~6 W Ring,13 A Ring,8 M Staff,9 S Ring,7 B Ring,3 SeercullDragon Drops: 500+~50+ Med,26 Axe,3 Chain,10+ Legs,10+ Spear,2 D2h,10+ L Half,49 Boots,2 DDs,10+ Lump,9 Claws,50+ Dagger,14 Visage,50+ Mace,4 Scimitar,7 Hasta,Baxe,50+ Long,30+ Royal,2 Kite,4 Ward,2 Plate,Staff,Hammer,Limbs, Mattock,HalberdGWD: 156~4 S Staff,50+ Shard,9 B Tass,13 B Plate,5 B Boots,6 A Plate,11 S Sword,8 A Hilt,4 A Skirt,9 A Helm,S Hilt,3 B Hilt,B Glove,2 A Buckler,Z Ward,Z Garb,2 Z Boots,B Shield,B Helm Corp: 3~Elysian,2 Sp Sh + Nex: 6~Torva Legs,Cere,P cowl,Z bow,2 T boots + GWD2: 9~2 Glaive,Wand,2 Crest,Blade,2 Essence,Core + Araxyte: 5~Web,3 Pheromone,Fang + Raids: 4~3 Codex,P Boots + Trails: 2~Bob Shirt,Fortunate Etc: 64~3 Sceptre,B Mask,16 Whip,2 Focus Sight,5 D Bow,7 SOL,Ragefire,2 Steadfast,Arma Staff,6 Rider Armor,5 Vine,2 Razorback,2 A Wand,Abby Orb,3 Blood Shard,6 Hydrix,Gland,Asc Xbow [spoiler=Capes]Quest Cape Aquired 12-7-07 ~ Level 93 + + + Completionist Cape Aquired 5-22-15 ~ Level 138Hitpoints Cape Aquired 9-21-09 ~ Level 131 + Magic Cape Aquired 9-24-09 + Attack Cape Aquired 3-5-10 ~ Level 135 + Summoning Cape Aquired 3-12-10Strength Cape Aquired 6-1-11 ~ Level 137 + Fire Cape Aquired 6-23-11 + Defence Cape Aquired 7-5-11 + Ranged Cape Aquired 8-1-11 + Kiln Cape Aquired 2-26-12 ~ Level 138Dungeoneering Cape Aquired 4-22-12 + Slayer Cape Aquired 6-25-14 ~ Level 200 + Herblore Cape Acquired 12-9-14 ~ Level 138 + Prayer Cape Acquired 12-20-14Agility Cape Acquired 1-4-15 + Hunter Cape Acquired 1-30-15 + Construction Cape Acquired 1-31-15 + Crafting Cape Acquired 2-22-15 + Thieving Cape Acquired 3-18-15Runecrafting Cape Acquired 4-14-15 + Mining Cape Acquired 4-19-15 + Fishing Cape Acquired 4-25-15 + Firemaking Cape Acquired 4-26-15 + Woodcutting Cape Acquired 4-26-15Cooking Cape Acquired 4-26-15+ Smithing Cape Acquired 4-28-15 + Farming Cape Acquired 4-29-15 + Divination Cape Acquired 5-3-15 + Dungeoneering Mastery 5-4-15Fletching Cape Acquired 5-4-15 + Max Cape Acquired 5-4-15 + Invention Cape Acquired 11-9-16 + Invention Mastery 5-16-19 + Archaeology Cape Acquired 10-30-20
November 24, 200817 yr is it worth using unicorns? presuming you pick up the mith bars, where the most of the money comes from, you'll be killing like 5 max per trip, it's right next to a tele so no point staying as long as possible, yes sometimes you have to drop food and repick and it's annoying, but surely thats just a waste?
November 24, 200817 yr As said above, it's not really worth taking a unicorn. A BoB and an inv of sharks will be cheaper, and you can then take all drops incl mith bars, only takes a few seconds to bank. Want to be my friend?

November 24, 200817 yr Author It's not possible to take bobs unless you use the trick via logs and run all the way back up the waterfall, and if you use sharks, you'll have to drop/waste food to make space for drops. Pony scrolls are more hp/gp than monks(if you buy them but I have thousands from my formerly huge green charm stack), and not having the monks in your inventory gives you the opportunity to pick up more drops. Let's say a trip lasts 43 minutes(random time I've never actually checked how long they last), in that time a pony could heal you 896 hp with 64 scrolls at the cost of 14,336 gp for the scrolls and 2,089 gp for the pouch, totalling 16,425 gp. 896 hp would require 56 monkfish(so not possible in two trips) at the cost of 18,536 gp. So unicorns are more efficient costwise if the trip lasts longer than somewhere around 36 minutes, but again I don't know how long trips last... Maybe I missed something, but ponies *seem* to be better, could be some messed up calculations or whatever.

November 24, 200817 yr Here's what i have tested with Unicorn. Verac Set Very fast kills but little kills per trip. Max recorded kill:6 Usual melee with magic defensive Max kill:14 with unicorn Ranged 14-16 with unicorn. Unicorn wins.
November 24, 200817 yr Unicorn isn't great at these as you ideally want to be able to keep the mithril bars and bones. Using a War Tortoise/Pack Yak makes more sense as you will have room for the loot. Someone said they managed 14 kills. Thats 14 bones and 42 bars, lots of profit you really don't want to be throwing away. When I go (only for slayer) I manage about 8, but I only use whip/shield. Trust the Gene Genie!
November 24, 200817 yr Here's what i have tested with Unicorn. Verac Set Very fast kills but little kills per trip. Max recorded kill:6 Usual melee with magic defensive Max kill:14 with unicorn Ranged 14-16 with unicorn. Unicorn wins. It takes, what, a minute to leave the lair, bank, and enter again. It's kills per hour that matters, not kills per trip. It's not possible to take bobs unless you use the trick via logs and run all the way back up the waterfall, and if you use sharks, you'll have to drop/waste food to make space for drops. Pony scrolls are more hp/gp than monks(if you buy them but I have thousands from my formerly huge green charm stack), and not having the monks in your inventory gives you the opportunity to pick up more drops.

So unicorns are more efficient costwise if the trip lasts longer than somewhere around 36 minutes, but again I don't know how long trips last... Maybe I missed something, but ponies *seem* to be better, could be some messed up calculations or whatever. You have to factor in how many mith bars you would have to leave behind and how many bones you would have to bury if you use a unicorn. A BoB is, in reality, much much cheaper. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
November 24, 200817 yr Author Oh, so you're suggesting that I take an unsummoned bob specifically to be filled with loot? That seems reasonable, but I definately wouldn't waste a turtle.

November 25, 200817 yr ^ yeah that's what i was suggesting. I used to take a terrorbird and summon it in there, i filled it up first, then filled my invent. Makes most trips profitable. Without hurting their length too much, as banking is very quick. Want to be my friend?

November 25, 200817 yr I recently went there ranging with unicorn. As you can see I have very similar stats. The things is, I forgot what I brought :oops: I *think* it was like 2 antifires, 4 pray pots, 1 super restore1 sara brew, 2 ranged pots, bit of monks, bit of pineapple pizzas, bit of tuna (for first kill so you have space). Could have been 3 antifires too :o. A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h!
