At the moment o'm working on a goal of Killing Aviansies til i have 20k Bars and then i'll move on to my goals of 200 Dragon Boots by killing Spiritual Mages. At the moment im using Void, Ranger Boots, DFS, Archer Ring, Range Ammy and Accumulator. I do not want to spend any money on weapons when i start on Spiritual Mages. I really would prefer just killing them with Void. Here's my question though.

 

Should i Range or Melee them? Which Should i go for? Zammy Mages are easier due to low HP, but they require the use of Prayer. Sara Mages are slower due to higher Exp but they require no use of Prayer. Also, 20 Boots will require about 20k Kills right?

 

EDIT: Zamorak Mages is going to be too much of a hastle. Ideally i would like to camp there for atleast 16 D Boots at a time before banking and its going to be quite impossible at Zammy Mages. So now the question is: Ranged or Melee at Sara Mages?

Boots are average 1/250.I have only killed zammy ones, bu they are at least three times faster then sara ones. Yes, you need to pray, but you don't need to wait for them to go into combat with a monster.

 

I would try a little of both. If you range, I would suggest something fast, MSB probaly. They have nearly no range def, so you want to attack faster then an xbow

Wow you must have horrible luck. Everytime ive killed them i avaraged 1/80 - 1/90.

And yeah i forgot about MSB.This might be a good Option although its going to make my choise of God Items a bit harder.

Not sure if this is actually true but I've heard having a god bird counts as an item from several different people, so there's one you don't even have to wear.

False.

 

Sara mages are not 1/750. No way no way no way. Nor are they three times slower than zammy. On an average task, sara mages yield 2 pair of boots.

Yep, i was plannin on using my Sara Owl if i decided on Saradomin Mages.

Well I was able to get 225 kills hourly at Zamorak Mages with void, black knives, range potion, eagle eye, hydra (since I was using unholy book), and 97-98 range. This was the equivalent of 66k range exp hourly and about two boots hourly. I think you could get 800 kills per trip. I only stuck around for the quantity of my task.

 

I'd take the advantage to get good range xp, since you kill them at similar speeds either way. Use a fury if you range.

This seems like a good option. I'm guessing Fury > Range Ammy because of the Prayer bonus?

Yes, to minimize the cost of potions. You use 150k or so in potions hourly there (cuts down your profit from about 950k at current prices to about 800k :o)

I said boots are ~1/250, not 750!

Sara mages are slower then zammy ones. They have more hp and if you are planning on costless camping, you have to wait until they attack another monster

LOL 1/750 :P

 

Anyway, the solution to the problem of having to wait till the engage in battle is easy to solve. Luring. Attack a mage and run part a Zammy Follower. It will attack the Zammy Follower instead of you. I remember getting about 140 kills an hour this way.

In over 60 pairs of d boots, I can say two things about SP Mages.

 

1. At Zammy mages, the drop rate of boots is around 1-110. This rate has been VERY steady for me.

 

2. At Sara mages the rate is around 1-200/1-250. However, you use (almost) no prayer pots.

 

Zammy mages are better. Suck up having to bank.
