Barrage or Burst

[whocares]

Is it cheaper to barrage or burst rock lobs because I've heard both answers. While you do get more charms per 1k barrages than bursts, I still don't know if it's less espensive.

 

 

 

Someone who has actually dont their research answer this, not some noob who thinks they know RS.

1k barrages:

 

 

 

 

 

Lost ending shot of 1k bursts, so if anyone has data on that...

*heh* I'm probably "that noob who thinks they know RS" but I'll reply anyways. Calculate the cost of one barrage, and calculate the cost of one barrage. Don't be lazy. The lower number is better.

 

 

 

Anyways, the drop percentages should remain the same no matter how you kill the monster, so the cost is the only factor.

I don't have the thread, but Compfreak calculated that barraging is more efficient than bursting at rock lobsters. Maybe somebody has the link, I've lost it.

No,but see it takes less barrages to kill a group of rock lobs, that's the issue here. So you get more charms per 1k barrage then you do with 1k bursts.

Rune prices have increased a lot since then due to PvP inflation, especially bloods (was 275, now 341) so those calculations are invalid. Wouldn't be hard to redo with the new prices though.

Hmm... he said with those current prices (Feb 09) those statistics were right. The rune prices from my source dates back to.... I don't know.

 

 

 

It's 1.85M per 1k barrages and 1.17M per 1k Bursts.

 

 

 

My source states

 

 

 

266.3 crimsons per 1k bursts, and

 

338.6 crimsons per 1k barrages.

 

 

 

Divide those numbers and you get 5473/crimson for barraging and 5170/crimson for bursting

 

Prices changed a bit, but barraging is far better than Bursting, considering how much faster it is. It is a little more expensive, though.

Plus you get more magic exp with barraging.

 

 

 

Its now;

 

1k barrages = 1.998m = 5901/crimson

 

1k bursts =1.226m = 4604/crimson

 

 

 

So I would go with bursting atm until rune prices settle.
