Brew - Restore Ratio with Overloads at Bandos

[la la la]

Yes, I'm asking you bandos soloers with overloads... what's the general brew : restore ratio I should aim for when I solo with overloads? I'll be using a tortoise, if that matters.

uh I can't say personally because I've never done a GWD ever before

You could manually calculate the drain rate of prayer. But i guess you wouldn't keep all prayers active at all times

but this is how i calculate for slayer tasks:

 

protection/deflection prayers drain 1 point every 3 seconds at +0 prayer bonus

piety drains 1 point every 1.8 seconds at +0 prayer bonus

soul split/turmoil drain 1 point every 2 seconds at +0 prayer bonus.

 

the prayer drain rate is a factor (1 + prayer bonus/30)

at +30 prayer bonus, your prayer drain rate is 1/2 that of a +0 prayer bonus

at +15 prayer bonus, your prayer drain rate is 1/1.5 that of a +0 prayer bonus

 

and you can figure out how many ppoints you get per dose

Very Nice information. I find your answer not to be on topic, his question was with overloads and Brews. Meaning brews if you ever used a Saradomin brew it lowers your stats, negating the buff of the ovl. That being said overload and brews do not effect your prayer points. The super restore you drink after restores your prayer points. OT: I don't have a answer for you as I only have 85 herblore. All i can really say is use a brew when you really need it, meaning don't panic and sip more than needed. Sorry I couldn't give more useful information.

[SirIzenhime]

I'm pretty sure overloads aren't effected by the stat drain of Saradomin Brews (at least not in the same way). With an Overload, the boost is Constant, and quickly goes back up to it's boosted stat even after you'ved chugged a few brews.

 

other then that information, I only have 85 herblore, and am not much of a Solo boss person, so I can't really say much for ratios. All i know is that without overload, its 1 restore per 3 brews.

[la la la]

Oh well, I'm not particularly sure what I expected. I know exactly how the drain works, and I've found a 4-5:1 ratio works pretty well.

[Laura]

Haha, I actually came to H&A to ask the same question, Lala. It definitely has to be more than two, so I figure 4:1 would work for testing.

[ghjkl]

Overloads just give a +25 boost every 15 seconds. That does not mean it completely negates the effect of brews, so you might want to bring some restores comboed with prayer potions to save money.
