Best way to use the ecto alter?

[Robert_R]

I know the basics: Grind bones and put into pots, fill buckets with slime, worship at alter with both of those in your inventory. But, how should I do that? I've been filling the buckets with slime and banking at castle wars using the ectophial to get back. Any idea what I should bring to fill pots such as a beast of burden maybe?

I tend to get all my slime, bank it, then get all of my bonemeal and then start worshipping. I wouldn't recommend using a BoB for worshipping the Ectofuntus, I don't think it would be fast enough, because you keep the buckets and pots and that'd tend to get annoying. I'm not sure how a BoB would turn out while gathering the ingredients, though. :-k

thanks

Can you tell me how many bones and pots you bring each inventory? I'm thinking 13 of each but I just want to double check.

 

Oh ya and do you have any estimates of how many I could do per hour?

Beasts of Burden only work for gathering bone meal, and only up to a certain point. You can't carry buckets of slime or pots of bone meal, but you can carry more bones than pots in your inventory, with BoB loaded with pots and withdraw pots once you use some of the bones. The balance depends on the familiar, and balancing how many times you have to withdraw pots from the familiar with being fast. I did it with terrorbird and it worked out nicely filling the terrorbird with pots and then withdrawing when I had no more pots in my inventory to fill.

Hmm sounds good but how many bones did you carry in your inventory?
