How useful is this spot without using the salve ammy?

 

Cuz idk how to get it/cba to get :-#

 

 

 

The quest takes like 30 minutes.

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:

So what if you, pick up some bones/take your own, then drop them in a good spot that has fewer spawns.

 

Would it work? If it works well then you would never have the problem of someone being in your spot.

From what I've read, this seems very dangerous, so what I'm thinking of, is bringing a proselyte setup, with as much attack bonus as possible. Would this work equally well, since the speed of the whip is close to double of the Greataxe?

 

 

 

I'd be thankful if you replied.

 

It wouldn't work as well, since as I have said on previous replies the novelty of the spot is the ability to effortlessly Dharok. You could probably get about 100K xp/hr without a familiar with max stats, but then again so could you using other more accessible spots. So unless you are intending to use Dharok's I do not think training in this dungeon is a good idea.

[/hide]No. And what do you mean close to double? Whip is exactly twice the speed of DH. Besides void>proselyte.

 

Actually, DH operates at battleaxe speed, which is slightly faster than the 2H, which is half the speed of the whip.

Not at all. But considering how easy it is to obtain the amulet there is really no reason not to.

Well, there are only 4 spots in the entire dungeon with the skeleton monkey spawns, so there really isn't any place where you can hide from others.

 

 

 

If you mean going to an entirely isolated place in the dungeon, with perhaps no traps, a sizable overhang and no skeleton monkey spawns (there could be zombie monkeys), and drop your bones and wait for them to regenerate, it will not work, as in order for the dropped bones to regenerate you must be within 2 adjacent squares of the bones of a killed and unmoved skeleton.

It's battleaxe speed? KB says it's 2h speed, I think. Oh, and calling that slightly faster than 2h would be a massive understatement; battleaxes and godswords are approximately 33% faster than two-handers.

Allright, a few more questions ::'

 

 

 

How important is it to use "Crush" while Dharoking?

 

How important is it to use Piety?

 

What is the max you've been hit by the falling rocks, and whats the max possible to be hit?

 

 

 

Thanks :thumbup:

^Piety's if you really really want fast xp, 10% strength is better for cheap players. Piety probably increases xp 10-15% over 10% strength and costs like 100k extra per hour, so it's more cost-effective if you make close to 1m an hour.

That is indeed true, I mixed it up with the Godsword.

 

 

 

Anyway, I don't see how calling 33% slight is a 'massive understatement', especially considering how few weapon speeds there are.

1. I haven't exactly tested non-crush combat styles, but whilst skeletons are indeed weaker to crush, this does not mean that they are particularly resistant to slash attacks. So at worst I would expect using slash to be 95% the xp rate of crush.

 

2. Piety increases your xp/hr by some 25-30%, which is quite hard to believe considering it only boosts attack by 20% and strength by 23%. Nonetheless this is the figure I have obtained from testing, and so you should use piety as long as you can make money decently fast (say 400K/hr)

 

3. The max you can get hit by the falling rocks is the ceiling of 10% of your current HP. This means that if you are at 22 HP, the most you can get hit for is 10% of 22 = 2.2 rounded up = 3. Note that this also means that you can be hit for 1 damage when at 1 HP.

33% is the difference between 100k xp an hour and 133k xp an hour.

Other than that I am currently lacking in the financial aspect of this, once I gain some money, I'll have to try this out.

 

 

 

Great Guide!

Hi nice guide, =)

 

 

 

a quick question: how long can you last with your equipment/inventory per trip?

 

This depends heavily on your prayer level; I would say 1-2 hours.

Speak like what?

 

 

 

What I write and what I speak are obviously different, since the latter is subtly nuanced in colloquialisms.

You did that on purpose, didn't you? I hope you didn't read that post and immediately had that reply in mind :o

 

Anyway, if english is not your native language, good job :thumbup:

I believe that his mother tongue is Chinese.

 

 

 

Anyways, on topic, I have actually tried chinning a while ago but I have encountered some problems. At the start, I am unable to move the bones around due to the full inventory of potions. What did you do?

Indeed it is.

 

 

 

It is generally much easier to spread the skeletons around at the start, so there should be no pressing need to move the bones. As your trip goes on, more skeletons will spawn, making them harder to manually spread around, and thus the need to spread bones is increased. So, if you are chinning properly, you should not need to spread the bones at all until at least 2 potions are used, at which point the freed inventory spaces will allow you to do this spreading efficiently enough.

Unfortunately I no longer have a need for range xp and so will not be trying that method out. Also, I have never been to Soul Wars (haven't unlocked the music), and so am not entirely sure what you are talking about.

 

 

 

Feel free to test for yourself and report the findings, though.

Unfortunately I am only well acquainted with the knowledge of how to train ranged from level 80 to 99, i.e. chinning. With regard to training at the lower levels, you should consult the relevant specialists.
