Bursting rock lobs (new question)

[Slayer_Jesse]

[spoiler=awnswered]Hi, i just got a bandos hilt (FTW!!!!) and i want to spend it on 94 mage. How many ice burst runes will i need from 88, and how much xp per hr can i expect? Also, How much money would isave using sc hats? (i calced that i would need 24hr's worth of them... yikes!

 

 

Am i missing anything from this invy setup?

[D Jay99]

3.5m xp needed for 94. About 180k xp/burst, 600 bursts/hour. 19.5k bursts needed, 32.5 hours.

 

I'll assume sc hats only double the amount you get from what you hit on the lobs, not the base xp. If they do double all the xp, you'll save around 14,5m.

You get 320 xp/burst if they double what you get from hits, 11k bursts needed, they save you the cost of 8.5k bursts or 12.5m.

[Slayer_Jesse]

thanks a bunch for the info :thumbup:

oh, btw, about how many crimson charms can i expect from doing this?

[D Jay99]

About 260 per 1k bursts, or 5.2k crims total. It's like 110k summ xp/1k bursts (depending on summ level), that would be 2150k summoning xp.

ok, thanks. one last question, am i missing anything in my setup here?

[Dare589]

Well, Zamorak book would be better, I reckon.

[Slayer_Jesse]

yeah, but i dont have that or the money for the pages, lol.

[D Jay99]

Ehm I can't really be bothered to check the inv etc, but you seem to have too many placeholders.

 

My setup: (with some monks and a thrownaxe in terrorbird):

 

Basically swap some placeholders with ppots, and bring an imp box to bank lyre/boots to free up 3 spaces for drops.

[JoeDaStudd]

Don't bother taking holy book.

0 advantage if you taking fally shield as well.

 

Take glory or fury as the stole again won't help you get a good bang for buck (lower mage bonus=more casts per kill=more total cost).

 

Remove the boots and lyre and just walk from cammy, replace them with 2 more prayer pots or 1 prayer pot and 1 bunyip.

 

For the shield take the guthix book or a Broodoo shield instead of holy.

Any mage bonus over 70/80 or something gets you the same results. You actually want the boots and the lyre, after you bank them they free space up for the drops you'll get (unless you want to leave the arrows on the ground for the first two ppots in order to lengthen your trip).

If you can't afford a zammy book, then IMO there is absolutely no point in you wasting money at rock lobsters. It costs a crap ton of money and won't be worth it if you cant even make fast enough money to have a zammy god book.

He has place holders in the setup he posted.

I wasn't referring to your setup.

 

Are you 100% sure about 70/80 being the most magic bonus you need?

If so I don't see why most people would bother which ahrims as its easy to get a 70/80+ bonus with mystic or Dagon'hai massively cutting down the setup costs.

Your inventory should be like this

 

 

Oh and get infinity boots, a fury, and a ring of wealth.

R.O.L> R.O.W at rock lobs. Better to lag and R.O.L out with a few less crims than to die with a few more crims because you didn't take a R.O.L.

Just a note, you don't need any specific staff to autocast ancient spells now (one of the recent updates).

You can use staff of water and save yourself the cost and space of water runes.

But you lose 10% of damage which is worth more then the few gp from the water runes.

For me, using a master wand cost ~500k more to 99 mage from 92. But it saves me over 5k casts, which saves just short of 9 hours time. Thats enough to make over 9m. 9m - 500k = 8.5m less cost, if your looking at it time wise. Basically less casts for the same cost, so it's faster.
