Hey guys. I've read guides on Armored Zombies and Zombie Monkeys and how they give extremely fast melee XP. However, both guides claim their methods and monsters better than all others. This leads me to the question, which training method actually pulls in more XP an hour on average? Also, are these two really the best? Is there some other unheard of method that is actually better? It would be great if any of you guys could answer that. Oh, and if you're wondering about my stats, there's a link to my Highscores to the left on this below my user avatar. Assume I'm using the standard high strength/high prayer bonus gear. Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

This leads me to the question, which training method actually pulls in more XP an hour on average? Zombie Monkeys... but Armoured zombs are about 10k exp/hour less with 100k+ profit per hour more.

 

 

 

Also, are these two really the best? yes

 

 

 

Is there some other unheard of method that is actually better? if there is, then there is a reason its unheard of.. .but its highly unlikely

It really depends on what you're after... dharoking monkey skeletons in the tunnels is the fastest XP but really expensive, zombie monkeys are the second-fastest and completely AFK'able but only cost 40k/hour, and armored zombies are fast, gain 100k gp/hour apparently, but require a lot of attention as well as competition

In terms of xp, zombie monkeys blow armoured zombies out of the water.

Armoured zombies is better for sure, i'll tell why:

 

 

 

1-)You can pray piety.

 

2-)You dont need any attention, just every minute or so.

 

3-)Awesome drops, made 3.8m 97-99 attack...

 

4-)Faster xp then monkeys imo.

Opinion? Whether or not 110k xp per hour is better than 100k xp per hour (made-up statistics by the way) is not a matter of opinion. And monkeys are faster xp than zombies.

Well, I guess I'll head off to Ape Atoll then, seeing as the XP there is supposed to be much greater than the Armored Zombies. Thanks for the help guys! Thread CLOSED!

I know the thread's closed, but you forgot one crucial point. Summoning. People use good combat familiars for an extra 15k per hour of xp. Without a decent familiar like a Geyser Titan, you will get around 95k xp per hour, that's not exactly better than armoured zombies.

 

 

 

Also, I prefer armoured zombies due to the low risk factor if you wear a ring of life, you will literally be in NO danger of dying as long as you have 80+ hps. Disconnecting at zombie monkeys is pretty lethal, and can OWN THE HELL out of you. Prayer is always switched off when you first log in. (they max something like 14's with about 6 monkeys on you at the same time I assume)

 

 

 

Also, you can just bring say, 4 bunyip pouches and 1 summoned bunyip to armoured zombies and camp there, unlike zombie monkeys which require either - ape atoll teleport though dangerous because the monkey guards CAN get in your way, preventing you from reaching altar and therefore dying if you use the altars, or you would just run out of prayer potions within a few hours and are forced to teleport.

 

 

 

With an enhanced excalibur and bunyip, you would be pretty much full all the time at armoured zombies even with rune armour.

 

 

 

So, we've established armoured zombies are more xp per hour without enough summon for titan's, virtually no risk and pays you to kill them instead of you paying to kill. It's your choice, but armoured zombies requires Dov and zombie monkeys require Mm. I would much rather choose Armoured zombies tbh. Is watching your character hit high with whip/ss not enjoyable?

 

 

 

Even though there is a factor of competition, most times it's pretty empty on most of the 'random' worlds. (not busy worlds like sw or w2 obviously...)
