TheAncient Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Now that Overloads, Turmoil, and Yak are relatively common, monster hunting has been changed significantly. Soloing bosses is much easier, and trips can last magnitudes longer. My question is, what is your new preferred monster hunting boss to solo, and why? I've also found some data on droprates. Calculation Method:Estimated profit = Droprate * valueProfit per hour = Kill rate * estimated profitProfit per hour will be slightly overestimated, as it neglects overhead time (banking, KC)Droprates were found from player droplogs, on various forums and the Adv log.*Droprate on DK hybrid was ballparked. Most other things are based on data. [hide=Calculated profit per kill]TD -- Claws - 1/300 [33M]-- Estimated costs: 10K/TD-- Estimated profit: 100K in claws + 10K extra = 110K/TD Arma -- Hilt - 1/600 [100M]-- Armor - 1/150 [~15M]-- Estimated costs: 25K/Kree-- Estimated profit: 166K in Hilt + 100K in Armor + 20K extra = 280K/Kree Bandos-- Hilt - 1/600 [24M]-- Armor - 1/150 [~15M]-- Estimated costs: 15K/Graar-- Estimated profit: 40K in Hilt + 100K in Armor + 20K extra = 170K/Graardor Sara-- Hilt - 1/600 [70M]-- SS - 1/150 [9M]-- Estimated costs: 15K/Zil-- Estimated profit: 116K in Hilt + 60K in SS + 20K extra = 200K/Sara Corp-- Spectral - 1/1500 [100M]-- Arcane - 1/1500 [100M]-- Divine - 1/2500 [~700M balancing street and GE]-- Ely - 1/3500 [~700M balancing street and GE]-- Estimated costs: 10K/Corp-- Estimated profit: 600K in sigil + 100K in extra = 700K/Corp DK: Solo Rex with Yak-- Hatchet - 1/75 [2.5M]-- Zerker - 1/100 [5M]-- Warrior - 1/100 [400K]-- Estimated costs: 10K/DK-- Estimated profit: 30K in hatchet + 50K in zerker + 20K in extra = 100K/Rex (Includes Bones + Hides) DK: Solo Hybrid with Yak*-- Hatchet - 1/75 [2.5M]-- Archer - 1/75 [1M]-- Tallies - 1/20 [~200K]-- Estimated costs: 15K/(Prime + Supreme)-- Estimated profit: 60K in hatchet + 13K in archer + 10K in tallies + 35K in extra = 120K / (Prime + Supreme) (Includes Bones + Hides)[/hide] [hide=Calculated profit per hour (inaccurate)]TD -- Killrate: 25/hr-- Estimated profit: 110k/TD-- Estimated costs: 10K/TD-- Profit/hr: ~2.5M/hr Arma (Solo)-- Killrate: 15/hr-- Estimated profit: 280K/Kree-- Estimated costs: 30K/Kree-- Profit/hr: ~3.5M/hr Bandos (Solo)-- Killrate: 20/hr-- Estimated profit: 170K/Graar-- Estimated costs: 20k/Graar-- Profit/hr: ~3M/hr Sara (Solo)-- Killrate: 15/hr-- Estimated profit: 200K/Sara-- Estimated costs: 15K/Zil-- Profit/hr: ~2.5M/hr Corp (5-man)-- Killrate: 30/hr-- Estimated profit: 700K/Corp split 5 ways-- Estimated costs: 10K/Corp-- Profit/hr: ~4M/hr DK: Solo Rex with Yak-- Killrate: 30/hr-- Estimated profit: 100K/Rex-- Estimated costs: 10K/DK-- Profit/hr: ~2.5M/hr DK: Solo Hybrid with Yak*-- Killrate: 50 Kings/hr = 25 (Prime + Supreme)/hr-- Estimated profit: 120K / (Prime + Supreme)-- Estimated costs: 15K/(Prime + Supreme)-- Profit/hr: ~2.5M/hr[/hide] Ever wanted to find street prices of RS items?

Bladewing Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I love soloing saradomin. All that running around and around and around... It's surprising I don't love agility, to be honest. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PointMan Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Interesting Read I like to solo Tds, because thats the only one I cans safely solo lol. I would really like to solo Bandos after I get overloads however. what i'm doing now:soundcloud.com/student1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehosaphat Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't really solo much of anything. I'll occasionally take down the mole, and have soloed Bandos for one kill. Other than that, the only soloing I do is training against stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy_Bunyip Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I stopped monster hunting a while back, in favor of merchanting. But I think the age of monster hunting has just begun.Monster hunting received a superficial boost thanks to inflation, but ignoring that I would say GWD, TD's and such are not as profitable as they used to be.More people are simply realizing that they are great money makers. Jagex has promised alot of new bosses, and higher level gear.My money is that these new bosses, high lvl dungeon instances, etc, will be where the money is at.Just a matter of being prepared the moment those bosses are released.

Trojann2 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I started playing again just a little too late. It is going to be VERY hard to get back into monster hunting with the little amount of cash/gear that I currently have. But damn I'm going to try my hardest! Now I just need Leesters to come back...:) Knowledge Talks| | Wisdom Listens~~Heroes Get Remembered, But Legends Never Die~~Xbox Live & Playstation Network Name: Trojann2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby_Polo Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 DKs profits are probably higher, you're not taking in count the fact that you bank bones and hides with yak :)I agree with this, I often make more money from bones and hides by doing this, than I would by getting hatchets or rings.

predator1030 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Bandos is by far my favourite boss to solo, just because of the quick KC. KC only takes 5 mins max, and getting into the boss room quickly for some action appeals to me greatly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo hybriding can guarantee 100+ of each, every trip.Yep, and the talismans seem a little low too. Last trip I had 8.4m in loot. I had only one big drop, a D axe. The rest is from bones and hides (140 of each) and Talismans (Nearly 3m all together) + miscellanious. To me it seems you profit more of just talismans, than axes. Now, to answer your question: I recently had 2 Dag tasks, and decided to kill Dk's for them, and I totally fell in love. It's so damn fast now with full slayer helm, overloads, (and turmoil if I feel like it) + very very consistent money (6m in non special drops on a 3h trip).

stonewall337 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Ha was just about to post something like this. DKS, still. I mage, for the most part. I always profit w/ yak, and daxe / zerker are my favorite looking drops. GWD gets boring, and I have really crappy luck. Same for CB, at ~110 hours, seen 1 spectral. And DKS maging is good money on average. I average 2-3 of his good drops a trip, and guaranteed 1m+ in bones/hides/RS plate/etc. Also, I don't need a team.

Zepheras Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 When I feel the need to make cash, I'll solo TDs. Rarely any competition in terms of find spots, cheap resources, and pretty safe as well (for the spot I use anyway). Granted I'm not the best boss hunter around since I use welfare gear, I still managed to get a claw every time I attempt for one within three days. I've always wanted to try DKs, but don't you need at least one partner to get into the caves?
