MEP2 Agility

[Randox]

Prayer - 56

 

Agility - 60

 

Combat stats (melee) all 78 except def which is 76 (HP is 78 as well)

 

Magic - 69

 

 

 

I am wondering would I be completly crazy to try thos quest with a mere 60 agility?

 

I have proslyte armour, helm of neitiznot, and a fury so I figure I have the prayer bonus to sustain protect from melee for very extended periods of time. I have the herblore level and the supplies to make many prayer pots, and I think 51 herb is enough to make agility pots as well if need be (for that I have the herbs bit not the frog legs).

 

 

 

Basicly, I hate agility. Its one of the most painfully boring skills to strain. Now, I can wait a week or two if I need to so that I can throw 15 penguin points and whatever xp teh circus will give each week, but thats not good for more than a level or 2 in the short term of 2 weeks.

 

 

 

But, if I am going to be failing something every time to the point I wan't to personaly hurt Jagex staff, then I will wait. Basicly, I don't wan't to rush into a whole bunch of trips to elf land (even with a crystal) if I am not going to be able to finish the quest.

 

 

 

So, should I wait to gain a couple levels and use pots, or is 60 good enough (with or without the pots). And just how much prayer restoring am I going to be doing (ie am I going to be under melee attack of say 15 minutes without chance to restock).

I did it with 60 agility. It's just ridiculously frustrating.

 

And agility is fun to train :?

[xSxqPowerx]

I think I was less than 60. Took me like 3 tries or something... not bad.

[Dark_Demesne]

I completed it at 56 agility. I did fail the handholds 28 times, but I was able to get the whole quest done in one trip I believe. (It was very, very frustrating, though.)

 

 

 

I would recommend summer pies rather than agility pots for a little extra boost.

[Zaaps1]

Hey I did it with 62 agility and look at me I have a quest cape. Don't let that level get you down. Of course, the higher the better, but expect to spend 5-10 minutes of that one agility section. And naturally, bring all the boosts you can, that means agility pots, Tireless Run, and that-one-pie-which-raises-agility-which-name-is-escaping-me-at-the-moment.

 

 

 

Ditch the pros and bring monk robes instead.

 

 

 

Don't make your own Agility Pots, you'd lose more than you'd need to (100gp for a 4 doser on the GE, that's almost the cost of the water-filled vial alone) and you'll only need 3 at max.

 

 

 

Prayer pots I suppose you could make if you wanted to.

[Randox]

Ppots are easy, my kingdom provides ranarr seeds so the herbs are literaly free. I might invest in a few summer pies. I almost used them to do regicide, then I forgot various items in the pass, gave up and sold off the pies. A month or two later I realised I had 58 agility (and I was livid after the second trip through the pass, the first was good but I failed 5 times on the second trip at the end).

 

 

 

If theres only one real agility section I can handel that.

 

 

 

As for agility pots and my making them, the herbs cost me nothing and I look at it more as inventory reduction than anything else. I am not using any of the herbs for anything and will never sell them (wtf am I going to do with 82 marrentil? or all my tarromin and haralander), and I would really like to finish fairy tale pt 2 someday.

 

 

 

Maybe i'll give it a go tommarow.

[Zaaps1]

Not that this is related to your topic but Marrentil -> Gilded Altar? That's a good use.

 

 

 

And I would make harralander tar out of the harralanders. Keep making pots out of your farmed herbs to get the herby up.

 

 

 

SUMMER PIES!!! That's what they're called. Yup, take a few of those.

 

 

 

There's only 1 agility part which I can remember, and that's the hand-holds. You MIGHT need to go through it twice, but I don't remember.

[Kidd_Varrow]

I did MEP2 and the agility part is not that bad. Just make sure you have full run energy when you get to the handholds. You'll basically be under attack the whole time you're trying to do the puzzle, except there's a spot in there where you can go to be safe so you can think and whatnot.

I did the quest in full barrows gear and tanked the shadows, because praying was annoying. With the high defence bonuses and a little food I did just fine, treating it almost as if I was on a shadow task for slayer. If you got a slayer task of 100 shadows, could you do it in one trip? Probably, so if you gear up that way, you should be able to do the quest in one trip too.

I found the quest extremely annoying, with 70 agility.

Well that would be a terrible slayer task since they have like 15hp or something. :P

 

 

 

Which reminds me, the best weapon to bring if you are praying would be the d mace because it'll take care of attacking shadows in 1-3 hits and gives prayer bonus (that or GS, but GS is heavy and you forfeit a prayer book).

 

 

 

You did it in barrows? I'm assuming running was out of the question?

I used a terrorbird. Scrolls are cheap. So are regular energy pots, if you don't have 52 summ.

 

 

 

I'd recommend a whip with a good shield as your weapon. It can dispatch the shadows quicker than a d mace, which is slower and less accurate than the whip. A defender would be out of place here though, since you want the defence of a good shield when you're tanking. Rune kite is fine, although d square or crystal shield would be marginally better, and of course dfs or elysian shield if you have em already. If you were praying, whip + god book > d mace anyway.

I used a d mace, and I took care of the shadows fine. Preference I suppose, but yeah if you're praying bring a god book.
