With the introduction of the new minigame soulwars i have been wondering. What is faster for xp points in combat skills (attack, strength, hitpoints, defence, magic, prayer, and range)? It seems to me that pest control games are far faster but with less experience earned per game while soul wars games are far longer with more experience per game. Comments anyone?

I think pest control is, but I'm not positive.

Pest control. At Soul Wars and at level 98 you get 46080 xp per hour if you tie every game (69k if you win all 3) with zeal plus whatever xp you earn ingame (minimal).

Definitely PC, but neither come close to using other training spots which utilise salve ammy such as armored zombies and zombie monkies. The only people that should play PC are people who want void/void mace.

 

 

 

Because soul wars is PvP (more fun) I'd personally choose soulwars. Since they both suck for training, having fun is obviously the only last sensible reason to do them.

hp is the best thing you can put your exp on

I've heard that using it on slayer also isn't a bad option either considering it's one the only minigames to offer it. I'm not sure whether or not playing SW would be faster than actually slaying though.

If you win all SW games then its faster :P

From my understanding. 3 points per win, 3 games per hour = 9 points an hour. its 1305 slayer exp for me at 99 slayer per point = barely over 12k slayer exp an hour with 100% win ratio. thats = to 48k melee exp. horrible exp rates even for maxed slayer.

 

 

 

If you got 100 points it would probly still not get you even close to the same slayer exp, and you would be massively losing out on cash and charms.

 

 

 

The charms for 99 summoner are also tripe. Its like 30-40 crims an hour winning all your games.

 

 

 

And 85 points for an abyssal demon pet is just sad. Im not wasting 10-15 hours of my life just to get that option. You can get full void in less time then that lol

 

 

 

all in all if you enjoy soulwars for fun then do it for fun, but its not any good for anything else

I think it's faster if you're putting your points into HP and you can ensure that you win the majority of your games, similar to what Asian said.

I would think Soul wars is faster, due to the fact you will always get a point (XP).

 

On pest control if you lose you get nothing, and usually the rewards aren't the best.

 

Yet Soul wars provides quite high rewards.

We will use the OP as an example. His melee stats are averaging 78. Soul wars at minimum guarantees one point every 23 minutes. So that is three points every 66 minutes. Or 2.727~ points an hour. At points going for 81 times the melee stat it is (81*78*2.72727272~) xp/h. This is, 17,231 xp/h. Win all games and its 51.6k xp/h or about 55k if you include damage done.

 

 

 

For Pest Control You get (78*78/600 = X(rounded down) and * 35 = xp

 

 

 

Which is equal to 354 xp per point. Lets say you do 400 damage and get 3 points a game (that boat is good with a 90+ clan) you will get 354 * 3 + 800. Totally you can make 35k xp/h with the points and up to 30k xp/h with the normal combat if you take two minutes a game. At three minutes a game its 43k xp/h. If you average them out it is about a 62-62k xp/h from pest control. I credit soulegleon for the pest control formula.

Excellent! thank you everyone and especially pureprayer. That's what i was looking for; some in your face math to prove which was faster. I believe I'm only going to keep playing pest control until i get full void and perhaps for hp xp from time to time, and soul wars will be purely fun. I'm kind of glad they did not create a mini-game that you could actually effectively train slayer with. Doing as such would take away from the prestige of the skill.

Your welcome [hide=]This must be what compfreak feels like[/hide]

 

My rates might be off some because of the face that you may take longer or shorter in games or that you do less or more damage then 500.
