My Shattered Heart Guide

[mfuge20]

Thanks for moving the thread mod =)

 

I have just finished my 4th full statue so I thought i would put this up here for everyone to use...

 

Ok so here we go

 

 

 

Having collected 150+ Strange Rocks, I have learned the following:

 

 

Higher lvl (e.g. higher lvl gems, rocks, logs) do not give you a better chance to collect the rocks:

 

 

EDIT: I wanted to add an edit to put a list of the things i keep in my inventory for the statues...

 

1k unfinished cad pots

1k whiteberries

5k hard leather

25k willow logs

5k cabbage seeds

100 toadflax seeds

5k gold ore

5k raw trout

5k essance

 

EDIT: also thank you 12pure34, reading through your post has inspired me ot add another part to each area... Location:

 

 

My method of doing statues:

 

Agility: I have found that barb village course is the shortest course and gets me the rocks fairly fast

 

Crafting:

Items: Hard leather/ Leather

Speed: Fast

Location: G.E (if i need extra supplies)

Instructions: keep one spot open

 

Cooking/Fishing:

Items: Large Net/ Raw Low lvl fish

Speed: Fast

Location: Catherby (or fishing guild) for cooking and rogue den for cooking

Instructions: Fish with big net in fighing guild, cook, you should get the rocks pretty fast... the reason to have low lvl raw fish, I have found that fishing rocks come faster than cooking.

 

EDIT: advised by 12pure34

 

Construction:

You need to be in normal mode, inside your house. The stone appears next to the portal. This means you have to 'wait'

While waiting you can do the following things:

Bring noted raw fish --> Have the butler unnote them (and bank them afterwards). Tough it may cost a little extra for the butler, you get the chance to combine construct rocks with cooking rocks. This is ofcourse done in the kitchen.

Make teletablets --> Have a study within sight of the portal and just make teletablets while waiting! Profitable and magic experience.

 

Farming:

Items: Herb seeds/Cabbage seeds

Speed: Medium

Instructions: plant cabbage (as they are low cost seeds) and your herb seeds, after a stone set is collected in another skill, do your rounds of farming... you will have your rocks before the rest of the statue is finished

 

(alternate per "12pure34")

 

I'd advice potatoe / onion if you are looking for the rocks FAST! (20 minutes or so for them to grow). Sweetcorn otherwise. Ofcourse herbs, whichever you want to grow.

 

Herblore:

Items: Unfinished pots/Seconds

Speed: Slow-fast (depending on what you spend) (can be expensive)

Instructions: It is best to buy unfinished pots, though it can be expensive... but it can be faster I use super def pots or range pots or sara brews (93 slay helps with ice strykes) and complete the pots, if you do not want so spend the money on unifnished pots, its going to take longer as you will have to make the unifnished pots and the full pots...

 

Thievery:

Items: gloves of silence

Speed: Fast

Location: Dranor

Instructions: as with many, preference: I use master farmer

 

Smithing:

Items: Bronze bars/Gold ore (with goldsmith gaunts)

Speed: Fast

Location: port plast (if quest done) or edge (if varrock armor done) or fally/al kharid

Instructions: keep one space open

 

Runecrafting:

Items: any pouches you have and abyssal follower would be helpful...

Speed: Slow-Medium

Location: depending on which alter your going to, consult your local tip.it rc guide for fastest routes

Instructions: as per the post below, the new rules follow per essance not per action so rc as you normally would :)

 

Woodcutting:

Items: Hatchet

Speed: Fast

Location: various places around rs or dranor

Instructions: Chop ivy or oak/willow

 

Mining:

Items: pickaxe

Speed: Fast

Location: various places throughout runescape

Instrucitons: mine copper or tin (for speed) drop items mined

 

 

The instructions here are for speed and cost... taking both into consideration. eatch statue takes me around 6 hours of work...

These are hopefully enough to get yall started... I am on my quest to be the first to complete all 30 statues, and i will try to get yall pictures as i go along, Thursday I will have my 4th statue completed... working on the rocks now =) enjoy and thank you

Wrong forum bro.

Guides has like a 50 post req or something, although a mod may be able to move it their for you.

[mfuge20]

that would be awesome cause my clan has come to get a lot of use out of it, and i want to spread the wealth...

[Jehosaphat]

Your details for rc are now inefficient - Jagex changed the rc stone to appear per ess, not per craft. So if you want a rc stone, just rc like any normal person would.

[mfuge20]

thanks for that info ill edit the post to be updated to that

[jimmy_jim]

Moving to beginner guides for you :thumbup:

 

It's looking good

[mfuge20]

thank you mod =)... how do i get the pictures online? I have the pics of my statue with the 4 pieces added.... im going to be the first person done, or one of the first...

[jimmy_jim]

There's a great guide on posting images here if you have any problems feel free to message me or ask here.

Well, I could give you a few tips myself:

 

First off:

 

Construction:

You need to be in normal mode, inside your house. The stone appears next to the portal. This means you have to 'wait'

While waiting you can do the following things:

Bring noted raw fish --> Have the butler unnote them (and bank them afterwards). Tough it may cost a little extra for the butler, you get the chance to combine construct rocks with cooking rocks. This is ofcourse done in the kitchen.

Make teletablets --> Have a study within sight of the portal and just make teletablets while waiting! Profitable and magic experience.

 

Woodcutting:

Cutting oaks / willows is a faster way to gather rocks as you get a chance each time you cut a log. Oaks cut the fastest ;) so this would be faster then Ivy.

 

Also --> Draynor Willow Trees has a bank AND master farmer. You can combine these easily there.

 

Thieving: add Ardougne Cape 3 as useful item.

 

Fishing: Monkfish seem to be the fastest method to gather the rocks. Often hear 2 rocks in the first inventory or at least within 3 inventories.

 

Cooking: Cooking guild with varrock armour 3 or the Rogues Den is the fastest place to cook ofcourse. Often requires 500-1k fish till you get both rocks. So going to either of these places is great.

 

Farming: NEVER EVER EVER! go for cabbage seeds. Not because they are so horribly expensive.. they cannot be noted when picked! Which is a pain. I'd advice potatoe / onion if you are looking for the rocks FAST! (20 minutes or so for them to grow). Sweetcorn otherwise. Ofcourse herbs, whichever you want to grow.

 

What I am personally a big fan off:

Smithing/crafting --> Goldsmithing gauntlets (Family Crest quest) and melt all the ores into bars. Bring an amulet mould with you and immediatly make amulets out of them. Both smithing and crafting is done by this.

 

Good luck on it ;)

I do like the construction, the monkfish is for more experienced fishers and is a good idea, with me i perfer the net fishing, cause its pretty fast and 2 inventories is the max ive needed for both rocks...

 

With the farming, potatoes I have not found that they yield as many which is why i will just drop them... however im not in the business of recouping my money as i just drop them or make compost out of them so while yours is not for me others will probably agree with you =)

 

With crafting/smithing... this past statue took over 700 actions for me to get the crafting and 500 actions to get the smithing... which is why I use the hard leather, it crafts the fastestt and the full inv of gold ore it will give you the most chances... if you do the ammy method your not only cutting your chances in half each trip. you are also taking out the chance for the spot where the mould has to go...

 

If i am wrong tell me, and thank you for your feedback =)

the only place you cannot note cabbages is with the leprechaun near the cabbage patch.

[12pure34]

the only place you cannot note cabbages is with the leprechaun near the cabbage patch.

 

This is what I ment. That means, when harvesting you either need to fill your inventory with sacks or eat/drop all the cabbages. You can turn them into compost ;) but anything other then super compost is a waste to most.

Using either potatoes or cabbage or watermelons doesn't make a difference tough. Like you stated: higher level things don't make a difference.

 

As for the big net thing you said, you are probably completely right. It should be actually faster the way you do it.

 

I don't see why you are cutting your chances in half? You just spend your time doing 2 things. Crafting hard-leather bodies costs money, while making gold amulets out of gold bars is about breaking even. The only cost will be Gold Ore to Gold Bar. If you don't want this, just buy bars and use it for crafting stones.

(26 gold ore / bars + 1 mould, if you don't have the inventory space, you will lose 1 gold ore/bar in order to get the strange rock. Doesn't / shouldn't affect your chance to get it.)

 

Also, smelting iron ore into bars is profitable and with recent update, you will make profit from this. Useful for those interested in not losing money! Same goes for cannonballs, tough this is a slow and painful process hehe.

 

Perhaps useful, http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators/Potions

That link can be used in order to determine the cheapest pot to make.

 

Also for firemaking, willows are the cheapest. Maples are more popular to use tough. (since most have an overkill of these banked anyway). Don't make people burn oaks or normal logs, since these are quite costly and low experience compared to willow/maple. Many places are great for this, including Grand Exchange and/or Falador east bank.

 

There is a theory about switching between skills after getting the first rock. Apparently it ups the chances if you switch between skills after getting one. Example, woodcut till you get the 1st WC rock. Then thieve till you get that one. The chance for the second WC rock resets and when you go back to woodcutting, your 2nd rock will come faster. There is a theory about this one in the General Discussion thread about Strange rocks.

[mfuge20]

I was mistaken about the crafting, I thought you were talking about bringing gems with you... for a lot of people that would probably work, when I get back home ill update the guide later today...

 

the farming thing is interesting... I may have to try that, though at the same time it usually takes maybe 3 trips around the patches to get the rocks, and the herbs help me out... one of the reasons im so adamant about doing the statues, is because ive needed a reason to get my stats up.

[Skeptical]

Good guide.

 

Oddly enough, I used all of the methods that you suggest, lol.

[Kidd_Varrow]

You're missing the methods for fletching and hunter. Is this because they're obvious or you simply forgot them?

[Larinro]

Nice guide! one thing though for smithing you do not need to have one space open, i was smithing gold and a message apeared saying one of your gold bars has disapeared adn been replaced with a rock or something like that, keep it up!
