Not worth the time or effort, however if you want to kill two birds with one stone and go for full lumberjack Troacctid's Woodcutting Guide here has a guide detailing the best way to get lumberjack. I got only about 33 talon charms while hunting but I got it extremely fast with only about 4 hats and 2 boots.

has anybody done trekking just for the charms how fast is it?

Here's an excerpt from Kent's Summoning Guide detailing different combat familiars and their usefulness:

8th: Talon beast (77, 135 Combat)

 

Max: 5, but they hit 3 times.

 

Hp: 454

 

Xp: Strength

 

Time: 49

 

Size: Large

 

Notes: They don't hit 1000x faster than normal familiars do. Although they seem like they do. They hit 3 times almost instantly, but there is a delay afterwords. Also, I would like to make note that they're secondary ingredient makes them not worth making. (Totally wrong section, yet I thought I should mention that...)

 

Side note: Granite lobsters are most likely better. I need to confirm.

Don't bother hunting talon beast charms, your time is better spent doing other things to gather charms, and if you need pouches you can always just buy some off the ge.

It is very much based on luck: how many talon beast encounters you get per hour. If you are very lucky it can be the same rate as waterfiends, but it is impossible to get the charms at that rate continuously.

I calculated it a year ago talon beasts vs waterfiends, took into account the cost of making the pouches (how much more money I need for using other secondaries but the talon charm, and houch more time does it take to make that money) Now that it's easier to make money but other secondaries have become more expensive I think it could be worth doing the calculations again.

 

Few tips how to get the fastest talon charms:

Take the easiest (blue) followers on the shortest route.

Evade all encounters you can. (combat encounters)

Take a sack of cabbages to feed the soon-to-be-ghast adventurers.

Use slayer ring to teleport to slayer tower each time you get the bog event.

Bank as little as possible. Glory tele to edge/ dueling ring to castle wars + slayer ring tele to slayer tower is the fastest.

 

Personally I stopped shortly after getting full lumberjack. Temple trekking is still the fastest way to get to Burg de rott.
