Draconic Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm currently killing Tormented Wraiths. They give a decent profit, and the '80 noted oak planks' drops have let me raise my construction like never before: for free, also. Well, I was thinking I would keep going until I got a Holy Elixir. One person (who wrote a guide on the Wraith, forgot his name) got one in about 1k kills. I might even get enough plank drops for ~70 construction. I have 7k till 62 construction, I have 240 planks banked, and I'm still going. So, do you think I could get it in a reasonable amount of time? I've already killed a few hundred, at least, and I only started yesterday. And once I get one, should I keep it and get a blessed spirit shield for my own use, or should I sell it (it's worth neary a third of my bank...)? Also, what does the monk charge to attach the elixir? When you go feather dragon god, you never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The monk will charge 1mil for the task of using the elixir on the shield according to Zybez. I think it all comes down to luck. You might be fortunate to get it in 1k kills, or it could take you 5k. Either way, be prepared for a long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconic Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 The monk will charge 1mil for the task of using the elixir on the shield according to Zybez. Oh. Then I'll see if I can find someone who would be willing to do a Spirit Shield+Elixir/Blessed Shield trade. I think it all comes down to luck. You might be fortunate to get it in 1k kills, or it could take you 5k. Well aware of that : Either way, be prepared for a long haul. It's actually kind of fun, yet profitable. Also very afkable. And while we're talking- #3 When you go feather dragon god, you never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconic Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm still wanting an answer to whether or not a blessed spirt shield would be worth it, or if I should sell it in favor of better equipment. When you go feather dragon god, you never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great_one Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 it's unsellable so you are better off trying to sell the elixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconic Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 it's unsellable so you are better off trying to sell the elixer Wait, so the shield doesn't sell but the elixir does? But is the shield worth using for myself? When you go feather dragon god, you never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how good are these shields anyways... Looks at these stats of Dragon sq shield+Blessed spirit shield. Link to stats: http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=8001 Link to stats: http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=2473 Armadyl Boss Room (Analyze of monsters and their attack style): Kree'arra: Magic+Ranged+Melee(Very rare) attack tyle. You pray ranged, so range is out. Magic attacks is taken... Wingman Skree: Magic attack style. You pray ranged at Armadyl boss, so magic is taken. Flight Killisa: Melee attack style. You pray ranged,so melee damage is taken. Flockleader Geerin: Ranged attack style. You pray ranged, so no ranged damage is taken. So at Armadyl boss what's best defenses to focus on? Melee and magical defense. Blessed spirit shield has that. It's not better than DFS, but it's worth the price. It's better than Dragon sq (melee defense wise even), and has +3 prayer bonus and no negative effect on range attack bonus. It's good shield to use at Armadyl in other words. :) Hope you understood my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how good are these shields anyways... Well, my current outfit is- Torag's Top and Legs Barrows Gloves Fury Amulet Dragon Boots Rune Defender Quest Point Cape Netz Helm Abbysal Whip So, that's pretty much the optimal outfit, short of getting crazy expensive Bandos... I know I could improve with Fire Cape, and Verac's bottom. Blessed shield, I would suppose, is good for range tanking, as SirMemen said; it doesn't have any attack negatives, as most shields have. It even has very good defence, with its total bonuses outranked only by the insaney high-priced Sigil Shields or a out-of-my-price-range DFS. Ranging is already my highest combat stat, outranking even my HP. Noticing that, whilst kiling Wraith's, I decided to get it at least over 90, and quite probably 99 (and with no [bleep]ing crunch training). The money from selling, however, could net me an armydal helmet, or a robin+darkbow+karil's top and bottom. But I think I've settled on keeping it. I'll probably be training range in soul wars. The extra defence would help a ton, and there's simply the aspect of it being so rare. Armydal helm, anyway, is only a few more bonuses, not enough for to be willing to buy it. Oh, and I don't hunt Kree'arra. When you go feather dragon god, you never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dire_Wolf Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 DFS has +20 defnse more in stab,slash and range def more than blessed spirit shield. Let's look at price of shields: Blessed spirit shield: 5.0M medium price. Has +3 prayer and 0 negative bonus more than DFS DFS: 17.3M and +20 def more in stab,slash and range. BSS is worth its price id say. P.S the shield is also great choice at Bandos if your not tanking, and Zamorak boss. That is if you are ranging. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconic Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Right now I'm getting SC hammers to use up the 320 oak planks from my latest trip (58-63 construction just from plank drops), so I'm taking a break. (EDIT: Disconnected first game, less than minute in. Only for a few seconds, even. Gf Jagex...) P.S the shield is also great choice at Bandos if your not tanking, and Zamorak boss. That is if you are ranging. :thumbup: I don't do GWD... But I might, after I get 90 ranging. When you go feather dragon god, you never go back.
