Overloads

Hi, I just got the Overload potions and I was wondering how to use them correctly in combination with Saradomin brews.

Well I dont have overloads but I do know that sara brews dont lower the effects of an overload, so you can just use sara brews like regular food basically.

Bandos or the Corp Beast

you should first heal yourself up, then drink 1 additional dose of saradomin brew once you are full hp

then drink an overload

then drink 2 more saradomin brews.

 

here's some more info that would interest you

but you didnt hear it from me *cough*.

Well saradomin brews do lower your stats still, but they restore in 15 seconds by the boost you get from your base level (so 26 attack levels for example every 15 seconds). So if you use a sip or 2 of brew every 15 seconds, then no restores are needed, just try to drink around the 12 second mark to have optimum levels. If you have to brew more than that, bring restore potions so that your stats will go to the optimum level when the 15 second restore comes around.

Clearly you don't know anything about ovls :P

 

Brews DO reduce stats when overloaded however the overload potion gives you +26 boost for all the stats every 15 seconds iirc. So if your at corp, i would take 2 overloads 2 super restores and 4 super prayer potions along with other items. Only use the sup rest when u drink more than 3 doses of brew to quicker regain your maxed boost, if you drink 2 doses u din't have to worry much as you will be boosted to max pretty quickly.

Are you really keeping a timer next to you? Seems stressful to me.

He probably counts weapon hits, I know people (coincidently, the same type of people who pray flash) who do it.
