Waterfiend Questions


Bassy

Recommended Posts

Well, I finally got 70 Ranged, so I'm ready to start camping at Waterfiends. I've done a few trial trips, and I have a few questions for our helpful experts. \'

 

 

 

1. Is there any good substitute to Karil's Leathertop? I just can't bring myself to pay 1.2mil or whatever for it when the bottom was only 160k...

 

 

 

2. Are my levels good enough to maintain a good charm rate? I have 84 Attack, 81 Strength, and 99 Defence. If I'm not good enough, is there any other Crimson dropper you could recommend?

 

 

 

My current setup is:

 

 

 

Helm: Dwarven helmet

 

Necklace: Amulet of Fury

 

Chest: Black D'hide body

 

Legs: Karil's Skirt

 

Gloves: Barrows

 

Boots: Dragon Boots

 

Ring: Seers Ring

 

Cape: Defence (t)

 

 

 

I'm wielding a Saradomin Sword, and I have Guthans in my inventory to heal on the Skeletons.

 

 

 

3. Any advice on things I may be forgetting?

 

 

 

Thanks ::'

Switch SS to Zamorak spear.

Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.

Use a ring of wealth, it gives you a better chances at higher charm drops.

 

 

 

Pretty sure this is incorrect, as charms are not counted as either common nor rare. RoW improves the chances of getting an item categorized under "rare", and charms are not. It will, however, improve the seed, herb, etc. drops you get. But since you're there for charms and not profit, you're better off wielding a Warrior or Zerker.

1. Not really

 

2. Should be fine, with 99 def it might be worth trying melee void there.

 

 

 

Don't bother with guthans just stick with bunyips, pineapple pizza's (or strawberries given your defence) and the rest for pots, drops and charms.

Helm: Void melee

 

Necklace: fury

 

top: void

 

legs: void

 

gloves: void

 

boots: dragon

 

ring: berserker

 

fire cape>def cape if you have it

 

 

 

Don't bother with guthan you probably won't need it. Take a bunyip and alot of swallow whole scrolls. If you have enhanced excalibur then this is a great place to spec with it, I suggest getting it :)

 

 

 

Void is a really good setup here if you're not slaying and with bunyip + excallibur ul last a fair while :)

 

 

 

If you really don't wanna get void then black dhide top will be ok.

No, :thumbdown: . Charms are "bonus items". Bonus items are not affected by RoW.

Yet testing give other results:

 

With row I gain about 5%-10%* more charms. - Given according to the formula I found, at waterfiends the increase isn't that much....

 

 

 

*the rate does change a bit according to some formula, in one of my other post I displayed it

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I'm not entirely sure whether or not the row boosts charm drops, but I have a memory of olly dropping his row while bursting rock lobsters because he seemed to be getting less crimson charms(I think he was getting more gold charms though). This suggests the row may affect the charm drop rate but not necessarily in the way that you would want it to.

 

 

 

In general since we don't know for sure I'd say a berserker ring is best since you get faster kills and faster charms.

After keeping detailed statistics Ive concluded that Ring of Wealth is pretty much useless.

 

 

 

Charms are bonus items like gorgoroth stated. They are not affect by RoW anymore then challenge scrolls are, ie not at all.
