heyhey,

 

i've been wanting 95 mage for a while now for fire surge for ice strykes. i just calced out howmuch it will cost me.

 

i calced for 92-94 mage - smoke barrage

and 94-95 mage - ice barrage

this will take me 35.960.391 coins

 

second calc i made is: 92-94 mage - ice burst

and 94-95 mage - ice barrage

this will take me: 24.147.651 coins

 

ill be casting @ rock lobs

 

now i have 2 questions.

1) which is better timewise?

2) i calced in 180 xp per cast for both, is this about right or should i take other numbers?

Well if you are talking about the monkey skeles, I wouldn't use ice spells, I would just straight up smoke burst. At lobs I would recommend the second option.

oh yea i ment rock lobs, need some charms too :P

 

editted in first post

Ice barrage is 270k mage exp per 1k casts with staff of light.

 

Even if you assume that smoke is 20% worse its still 216k mage xp/1k casts. I would use option A but its technically more efficient to use B for most incomes.

 

These rates already include the 1/8 rune saving effect on staff of light.

I'm guessing ur gettin 95 for fire surge on ice wyrms? just get 92 summ with wolper scrolls.

i'll probably be able to get them both with the charms i get from bursting/barraging

its 1/1 for now, gonna decide tomorrow

 

also, didnt get any answers on my question 2... was 180 xp per cast good or am i totally off ?
