June 4, 201016 yr The xp multiplier from BA has been out for a while now, so I'm assuming timings/tests have been done or whatever, so, does using the master horn for extra agility xp save time overall? This is not considering the time it takes t unlock the horn, because I would eventually do that anyways. Also, what is the fastest role to upgrade to 5? I'm assuming it's collector or healer, but I don't really remember. I'm assuming that same role would be best for filling the horn, correct? About how many wave 1-10 rounds does it take to fill the horn? About how much xp does a full horn give? What is the best way to go about BA now? The last time that I was there was around lvl 80 in rune with a d scim, is this still the best? I am assuming that it's not, but opinions would be nice. Is ape atoll still the best around 75 or whatever my agility levels is now? All of the above questions other than the last are completely irrelevant if the first answer is no.

This is not considering the time it takes t unlock the horn, because I would eventually do that anyways. Pretty sure it's yes Also, what is the fastest role to upgrade to 5? I'm assuming it's collector or healer, but I don't really remember. Collector was faster for me I'm assuming that same role would be best for filling the horn, correct? Should be About how many wave 1-10 rounds does it take to fill the horn? Waves 1-10 fill the horn by about 10%, so 10 rounds approximately would be needed About how much xp does a full horn give? I've heard about 500k Bonus XP at 99 Agility What is the best way to go about BA now? The last time that I was there was around lvl 80 in rune with a d scim, is this still the best? I am assuming that it's not, but opinions would be nice. You could use all that better armour now, but gameplay is mostly the same Is ape atoll still the best around 75 or whatever my agility levels is now? Move on to new courses whenever possible All of the above questions other than the last are completely irrelevant if the first answer is no. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
June 4, 201016 yr From what i have heard, and personaly experience, it takes 10 rounds (1 round = waves 1-10) to fill the horn. On a pro team, this will take about 7 and a half hours. Using the horn at gnome agility will net you approximately 1.2m xp. This is about 600k bonus xp. To get thix xp normally, it would take approximately 11 hours. So the horn ends up saving you 3 and a half hours. And it is much more fun to fill horn then it is to get 600k agility xp. Collector is the fastest role to get to level 5, but once you are getting xp, it does not matter what role you are. I would advise spending slightly longer and getting at least your favorite role to lvl 5 because this will allow you to be accepted into better teams and you will be doing something you enjoy, not something you dislike.
June 4, 201016 yr Author Thank you that answers all of my questions other than the weapon options, but I suppose that I was not very specific in my wording. Is there any better melee weapon than the d scimitar that can be used exclusively as an attacker?

June 4, 201016 yr I prefer to just carry two weapons. Otherwise, I think the scimitar is your choice. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
June 4, 201016 yr Zammy spear? I don't know the different attack styles, so... Drops: Black Mask.Clue rewards: Sara Plate, 2 Robins, Some other random stuff.
June 4, 201016 yr When attacking, you should have a whip/defender, a Saradomin sword, and a good spec weapon (dragon claws > dds). Become pro at switching them for the calls and you'll be golden. On a pro team, the attacker will usually be the last person working. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.
June 5, 201016 yr Master horn absolutely is worth using, I get over 600k bonus xp from a full horn which takes 10 rounds of 1-10. Even if you use 40 mins per round, which is slow, that's 90k xp/h for the bonus xp. Say I normally get 60k xp/h at advanced barbarian with a horn that's 75k xp/h and I spend time at ba which I like more than agility training. Buy a granite plate every queen kill, makes like 40k for no extra time. quit
June 5, 201016 yr I think healer has the biggest payout in points and most room for error. It feels a lot easier, maybe even less stressful, than the other three roles.
