200M in all Skills

[xpx]

At 125k slayer xp per effigie(which is about the average, no need to post about getting 6 in 200k or what ever, as a training method you need averages) which takes around 3,5 hours to achieve, it's certainly not worth as a training method when you are 200m slayer xp/maxed melee, BUT it's more then a good method when you aren't maxed melee/slayer. an effigie gives 140k xp, and at 3,5 hours per one that's 40k additional and usually hard to get xp an hour on top of the 215k overall xp you get an hour + charms. There aren't really any monsters that drop them frequently enough to be a great training method(as you'd be sacrificing alot of slayer/melee xp at TDs/mithril dragons).

Update of the top 8

 

- Aasiwat is mostly slaying and WCutting these days. Coming milestones : 100M slayer. Current lead : 87M xp, lead over current closest pursuer : 108M xp.

- Gertjaars is still inactive at rank #2

- Jedelacroix is looking to become the 3rd player to cross the 2B line tomorrow. He's mostly training Herblore and FM. Other coming milestones : 200M construction and 200M FM (5th and 6th 200M skills)

- Zarfot is still slaying and look to cross the 2B mark 2-3 days behind Jd. He has no other coming milestones.

- Drumgun has become the 5th player to reach the 1,9B mark and he's finishing summoning. He should become the first player to max out summoning, making him also the first player to reach 200M in 8 skills.

- Erw J is still training WC, he should reach the 1,8B mark and 100M xp WC sometimes this summer.

- Lan is also still slaying he should remain at rank #7 for a long time. His only coming milestone is 100M ranged which would tie him with Drumgun, Gertjaars, Jdelacroix and Aasiwat for most skills at 100M xp.

- Kingduffy has slowed his slayer training a bit to focus on WC and Fish, probably so he can achieve rank 100 or better in every skill, something that has eluded him since the release of Dungeon. He has no coming milestones and is pretty much locked for rank #8 for a while seeing as he's 100M ahead of his closest pursuer and 75M xp behind Lan.

I'm asking this here because I think you guys are the most able to help me.

 

Theoretically, if you already had all 99's. Would training through effigies be faster than training via conventional means for some of the slower skills?

 

I'm not talking about the efficiency of training more than 1 skill at once.

 

I mean, even if you were maxed combat stats, would effigy hunting be a faster way of training a slow skill (Say RC) than actually crafting the runes?

 

I dont think it would unless you could find a way of gettin 2 Effigys every 3 hours consistantly - then you would be gettin 30k xp per hour in say RC and would be reasonably fast.

 

If there is a way to easily obtain 2 every 3 hours then it would be a good way to train RC but you get no bonus cash from Rcing, unless your corping and may make more than RC in the long run :mellow:

 

Is there any monsters that drop Effirgys that consistantly? Ive gotten 6 in 200k Slayer xp.

 

This would be a terrible way to specifically train RC, 30k/hour with no profit but whatever drops you get? That's an almost identical rate to graahking nats/abbyssing deaths, and inferior to the 55k~/hour you get at ZMI, which is still profitable.

 

I believe the idea behind using Effigies on Runecrafting is simply NOT to actually train Runecrafting. I mean, at those xp marks it really must be tough to actually enjoy training it. Also, Zarfot posted a merchanting guide on the RSOF saying that he has stopped merchanting because he now has enough money for the rest of the buyables and etc, but the guide was shortly removed after like 30 pages of whiners saying that they didn't want such "vital" info posted. So, we can therefore assume that he doesn't need to RC for money, making effigies a good method of xp for him.

The OP in the quote train was wondering if hunting for effigies was better RC exp/hour than actual runecrafting.

I wonder if anybody had the foresight to copy and paste that guide.

I'd kill to see a copy of it now.

I honestly feel bad for him, he makes videos to help players and then he gets flamed for it.

i may die trying to find evidence of this guide, surely someone took a screenshot or quoted some paragraphs someone else, im 99% sure zarfot didnt delete it, he just copyed and pasted it somewhere then shut down the thread

 

all i know is it got the #1 rs playerd pissed off, he posted saying over the last 4 days flipping is nearly ruined and its not even worth doing anymore

 

im pretty sure if he left that up then he would be the first to all 200m for sure, because his closest competition (besides suomi) depends on merch to fund their skills and this would have ruined it for all of them forcing them to switch to some horrible suomi method

 

i am determined to find this lol

[Aslan]

I remember reading about the guide(well people said they copied the guide).Tomorrow I'll stalk the web and see if I find that forum again.

[langer]

Very interesting, the Zarfotgate....

 

On a side note, Jdelacroix became the 3rd player to reach the 2B xp mark earlier today.

[PereGrin]

If anyone finds page 2 of that, i will trade them page 1.

[Aslan]

Need page 3.

Can give out page 1,2.

 

(Skimmed the pages.Nothing new so far.)

 

Edit:Seems he simply reserved page 3.Didn't post anything on it.Oh well.

you can just send me the text, unless you managed to get screen shots of it instead. If you just have text, i can figure out the formatting.

[justcallmedaddy]

I want it. Post it for everyone to play with.

[PereGrin]

if i had page 2, i would. But i dont :(

[justcallmedaddy]

What, is page 1 just an intro?

[PereGrin]

yeah, an intro and how the ge timer works. The 4 hour limit on buying items timer.

 

*not* the update timer

 

It sets up for the section called "More Details on Flipping" But i only have 1 paragraph of that section. That is the one i want to read.

[xpx]

It's quite funny how you guys crave for the guide thinking it will make you rich. No merching guide will make you instant good money and you need alot of starting capital(200m+) and experience to do it well enough to substitute for good boss hunting. After earning 6b+ by merching, it's just not always worth it as you are still wasting a lot of time and often dealing with large losses(when some of the people are afraid to mage single tasks when they wouldn't profit every time...) no guide will help you learn to deal with it.

[Mugunge]

Ive read most of the guide and there really isnt anything new. Its a good guide and probably the most in depth about flipping that ive seen so far, but thats about it. Explains how you need to play just about all day to profit like Zarfot did.

 

Anyway, not sure why those above are holding onto the links. Theyre easy enough to find.

 

Page 1 (cached)

 

Page 2 (cached)

 

Spent a few minutes or so trying to find page 3 but it wasnt as easy as the first two so i couldnt be bothered.

 

 

Edit: Copied all the text from the two posts, cleaned it up and put it on pastebin for easy reading and download. http://pastebin.com/H2yg0Zy3 (download)

[Aslan]

I didn't hold onto any link.It was 4 am and I had a doctor's appointment at 10.30 so yeah..

That's the guide anyway.I tried getting page 3 but I just gave up, it seems he reserved the page for future posts but the guide got trolled so he didn't write anymore.

I'm only interested in the postdump merchanting,knew the rest.

[Helbovie]

Drumgun says his next goal will be 200m thieving xp.

To clarify, he has not said he wants to get 200m in every skill yet. One of his main goals is to get 13+ #1 month records on runescript tracker

He does not have his eyes on 200m slay or range yet, but he does plan on getting them up.

 

Don't forget he has put years into castle waring and has only begun training skills for about a year at a fast pace.

 

I can see someone maxing 200m in every skill in about 3 or 4 years if they can skill long and fast. Just depends on how focused they can be and if they have the time.

[langer]

nice insider's info Helbovie. I consider 3 years to be somewhat too soon, but I have no doubt this will happen inside 5 years.
