armoured zombies vs zombie monkeys.

[aerendil]

which one is better for training as fast a possible.

 

 

 

i want 90 str in 4 days. at 60k 2 89 now.

If you can use Piety and have a healing familiar, do AZ.

The faster of the 2 is Zombie monkeys no doubt about it. No matter what method you use for AZ's the zombie monkies always surpass it in exp. The only reason people do AZ's is because of the profit whereas with zombie monkies you loss money.

I would reccomend armoured zombies over zombie monkeys because I love the money. When I got 92-99 strength I made atleast 200-300k a trip which is like 2 hours.

Cons

Not multicombat

 

Not as AFKable as ZM

 

 

 

I liked training at ZM. I went from 70-77 there for atk/def/str. The only two major problems I had with it were its lack of charms and the cost in prayer potions. AZ are my choice for the moment b/c of piety and the drops. AZ edges out ZM for me b/c of my need for charms, and b/c of the bonuses of piety.

 

 

 

Now it is tough to say if the "edge" given by piety is balanced out by the additional exp given by having a combat familiar, but for me I like having piety.

 

So to sum up, *if* you can afford prayer pots enough to do piety at ZM and *if* you don't mind the loss of charms then I would suggest ZM.

Remember that you can use combat familiars at zombie monkeys too, which really boosts the exp. Also they are WAYYYYYYYYY more afkable.

How would you lose doing zombie monkeys, if you use the monkeys beneath the temple and recharge your prayer there wouldn't your cost be 0gp?

Well even with a ton of prayer boosting gear, the rate of drain is such that you would need to recharge so frequently that the pauses--to go up and get past the gorillas (who can block movement) then charge and get back down--would defeat the speed of the training.
