Do You Pick Up Coin Drops?

I do, it stacks to one space and eventually adds up. I don't see it as a waste of time, only 2 seconds of time for 200 or so coins.

It depends on the slayer task I'm doing. Black demons, yes. Greaters, no.

Nope. It's definitely worth it for lower levels, but once someone's reached the ~5m or ~10m mark they probably can make enough in an hour to nullify the efficiency of it. But I do it sometimes on slayer tasks if I've alched stuff and the monster drops coins in the >=200gp range.

Always pick them up. They only take up one inventory space and barely any time to pick up. Besides if I was truly fussed about efficiency I'd be better off worrying about the time spent around the GE waiting for my offers to go through.

I don't, for the same reason I don't pick up gold and green charms. With the small amount of attention I pay while training slayer, it just isn't it worth it to try to pick up insignificant drops.

It depends. If I they are coming in drops of 25 coins at a time then I will typically just leave them.

 

But if they are drops of 500-700 then I will pick up for sure. :)

Absolutely, unless I'm pressed for inventory space and can fill that spot with something of a greater value.

Always, it adds up pretty fast on higher level monsters such as gargoyles. I had 20k in cash in a task of gargoyles just from picking up coins. I do it when there are no monsters near by for me to kill though, so i usually kill 3-4, then pick up the drops, repeat.

Depends on the NPC you are getting the drops from. Yeah it does add up, but over time most of the time I would prefer to pick up a potion or something to pro long training rather than coins.

I always pick up coins on slayer task. I'm the kind of cheap player that will pick up any alchable (yes steel 2h and steel b axes...).

 

I probably have picked up near 40 Mil in coins and cheap alchable since I started playing (34 Mil Hp XP).

If I'm pressed for inventory space or something along those lines (example: abyssal demons), then no. But if I'm ranging and losing tons of money on darts, or if there isn't all that much else to pick up, then I will pick up coin drops either to somewhat offset costs (even though one pile of coins barely pays for one dart) or to come out of the task with something to show for it. Really, it all depends on which way I'll make the most money -- if the stack of coins is worth less than another drop that I could be keeping, then I just drop the coins.

If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.

It really depends on the monster, or whether I need room for drops worth something of higher value. So sometimes, yes.

 

...Also take into account that I'm too lazy to click on pretty much every drop for coins. :mellow: Heh.

Yes I pick up my gp from monster drops. I even pick up the bones and bury them. It adds up :) I don't see how its a waste of time to get money to be honest.
