What am I doing wrong at Armoured Zombies?

[3PointMan]

Well, I'm trying to get 99 attack via armored zombies. Currently, I'm getting a whooping 67k experience per hour at my level. I am using salve (e) with void melee with a whip/rune defender and berserker ring/dragon boots and trimmed skill cape. I'm using a bunyip and a pure set and when I get low hp I use enhanced excaliber. I'm praying piety and running up to recharge it. I run north and then west to make them re-aggressive whenever they stop attacking me. My stats are:

 

 

 

98 Attack

 

85 Strength

 

85 Defense

 

80 Prayer

 

80 Summoning

 

94 HP

 

 

 

What am I doing incorrectly? :wall:

[Robert_R]

Well one thing is void doesn't stack with salve(e) so there's no point in wearing it, wear neitnotz and prossy or bandos if you have it. Second, you only need to run north to the first rock to make them re-aggressive.

Please don't start this argument. Void and slave DO stack, as they give different bonuses. VOid increases accuracy while salve increases attack and strength, so they DO stack. PLEASE NO FURTHER COMMENTS ON IF THEY STACK OR NOT, I just need to know what I am doing wrong.

[Robert_R]

Well then the only thing I can think of is the running all the way north and west to make them re-aggressive instead of only going to the first rock.

Yup they do indeed stack.

 

 

 

Anyway on topic you're doing it right, is 67k an hour "slow" or something?

Yes, incredibly. It's suppose to be 105k+ with void. I've heard of people getting 115k.

[Sy_Accursed]

Maybe try and quieter world?

 

 

 

Having thought on it further i realised i was getting like 80k (roughly) an hour when I was there and tht was without void

[Robert_R]

Have you been picking up every drop and even going to the bank to put ranarrs in it? Sometimes people do that and that's what slows them down. When I got 99 defence doing this I only picked up: All types of planks and charms and sometimes runes, I only banked when I ran out of bunyips. I was getting somewhere near 80-90k xp/hour which I don't think is bad considering I was 89 strength and 85 attack at the time.

I dont bank. I camp them for 4-6 hours before I bank/run out of supplies.

 

 

 

All I pick up is P ess/planks/crim and blue charms and ranarrs.

 

 

 

The world I'm in I've been by myself the entire time I tracked that experience.

Wow then I really can't think of anything you're doing wrong. Seems like you're doing the best things you can I don't know why you're only getting around 67k xp/hour. :?

[ilovecardj]

ive never been but this suggestion may be valid.

 

 

 

Try wearing prossy. perhaps the added prayer bonus will result in fewer trips to altar, increasing combat time and exp.

 

 

 

Just a thought, I dont know how often you need to go to altar, but im sure that lost combat time can really add up.

 

 

 

Maybe try void and 10% str prayer and see your results

[Lord Diddy]

Are you positive you are wearing full void (sometimes I'd bring barrow gloves instead of void gloves).

 

Did you track the experience correctly?

 

If you pray correctly you shouldn't lose more then 1 hit of your whip in the time it takes to go up pray and come down.

 

 

 

Also when you want to get them re-aggressive you just need to run north and touch the north wall then run back.

I AM wearing full void. I tracked the time EXACTLY from 3:00 to 4:00 down to the last second.

 

 

 

I just tried again and I got 71k xp. Next trip I am going to try Bando Chest Plate with prossy legs and neitiznot with barrow gloves.

[testingsomestuff123]

You only really get 100k xp if you have maxed strength bonus with salve e and 90+ strength.

Perhaps you do need higher strength. When I was at AZs, I got over 100k per hour at 98 attack and 99 strength, without void (used neitiz/torso/barrow gloves/prossy legs in place of it).

 

 

 

After all, accuracy isn't the issue there.

 

 

 

I'm really not sure what you could be doing wrong.

 

 

 

Are you in combat the entire (or close to the entire) time?

[JoeDaStudd]

Sounds very iffy.

 

Last time I tracked my exp per hour I was hitting 70k to 73k per hour there (85,83,80, 70 prayer and using whip+defender at the time I was tracking).

 

 

 

Using void, piety and potting every time my spec bar was full (I was using d b axe spec and restores/super attacks).

 

The only thing I can think is you need to pray the moment you hit 0 on your prayer (mid kill or not just recharge) and pot every 5 minutes. You only need to run to the corner to get them to auto attack you. Remember the less you click to attack the more exp (less time you switching targets due to rangers).

 

 

 

My guess is your not potting enough and are waiting till the end of the kill before you pray.

[3PointMan]

I'm going up to pray RIGHT as I hit 5 p points left. I pot up 9 levels above my normal level. I attack nearly the whole time.

 

 

 

I JUST TRIED ANOTHER TRIP WITH BANDOS CHEST PLATE/BARROWS GLOVES/NEITIZNOT/AND PROSSY LEGS and I GOT 75400 XP.

[Aslan]

Which means that at higher levels void isn't as usefull as people make it out to be?

Well remember this is only 1 test, so the percentage error possible is too high.

 

 

 

I really don't know what to say. I'd just try another training spot for the moment being and see if I also get below-average xp.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you or trying to disprove you, but your logic is flawed.

 

Attack lvls = accuracy. The rule of thumb for invisible boosts is that they don't stack with each other concerning the same level.

 

If void + salve is an exception, then please state so since as robertr pointed out, not everyone knows that they stack.

[Deathmath]

Honestly I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Strength really really helps, at only 70 atk/def I'm barely breaking 50k.

[muggiwhplar]

try zombie monkeys >_>

[TheKoolKandy]

Armoured Zombies = making money \

 

Zombie monkeys = losing money :cry:

[stonewall337]

You DO know that 105k xp was possible because the person getting it was maxed out melees? Your not near that, so you shouldn't expect anywhere near that xp. You should be getting around 72-78k xp max, according to adjusting to what I was getting when I was there. I have heard that using prossy may be better, as you spent far less time praying at altar, so getting more xp, I have not tried that out though.

 

 

 

Honestly, if you are 80+ slayer I would just train slayer.

[TheKoolKandy]

Also I usually get 80k+ xp an hour.
