Okay so soonish i'm going to be barraging rock lobs for a lot of charms, I just want to know what staff i should use. Thanks to the update i could be using something that has * water runes, or I could use a staff with +10% power, what would be smarter, time or cash saved?

Whats your cash flow?

 

 

 

Mathematically its cheaper to get the 10% bonus then save the 96gp in water runes.

 

 

 

But if you can't afford to miss the 96gp per cast then you shouldn't be barraging

Well cash flow ain't a problem, I'll be working with ~50-60m. However seeing as I am going for 99 I'm gonna need at least 10k crims from there, so thats a lot of waters if you think about it.

Also, does anyone know roughly how many barrages i'll need for 10k crimsons?

Assuming 100% is the total cost of the casts. You can take of this cost as 10% of the damage.

 

At todays costs its just over 2.1k per cast.

 

(2100/110)*100 is about 1.9k since the saving from the 10% bonus (~200) is greater then the saving from the water runes (96) then from a money point of view its better.

 

Then you have the 10% quicker kills from a time point of view.

 

 

 

O and I'd take void mace if you have it as the prayer bonus will come in handy (6+ is enough to warrant using the 5% magic prayer imo).

 

 

 

EDIt its about 338 crimson per 1k of casts (without the 10% bonus)

Also, does anyone know roughly how many barrages i'll need for 10k crimsons?

 

 

 

I remember reading somewhere its 1 Crimson for every 3-4 Barrages, so about 35k Barrages?

 

 

 

Double check that, but im sure thats what it said.

I calced it at roughly 30k lol, so probably not going for the whole 10k from that.

Here are my statistics from a 4k ice barrage sample post-autocast update.

 

 

 

For barraging you will receive the following for 1k ice barrages:

 

 

 

170 Gold charms

 

83 Green charms

 

360 Crimson charms

 

13 Blue charms

 

240,281 magic xp

 

 

 

And hourly:

 

500 casts/h

 

120,140 magic xp/h

 

180 crims/h

Thank you very much slayer :)

 

Roughly how much cash are you losing per hour then?

It he does 500 casts per hour then its about 1.05m per hour at yesterdays prices buying all at med.

With Ice Bursting you will get around 280-300 crims per 1k bursts ;) Good luck.

i had 70k deaths banked from slayer tasks and is still had to sink in millions and millions just to get to 96 from 74.

 

 

 

I dont think you can make it to 99 on 50-60m.

 

 

 

I think in the summon guide it says it costs something like 240m total to get 99 if you burst for the charms.

 

 

 

i could be wrong.

I would use the +10% bonus, but if you're having trouble getting the water runes, then go for the staff, I'd just wait for them to buy though :P
