Picking up greens and golds


Aneron

Recommended Posts

I just made this topic because I've been wondering recently if my policy of always pick up every charm is really in my best interest. I've always done it because gathering charms is just so slow and painful in general that it seems like a waste to not grab the xp since it really doesn't take much extra time (in fact, none if you time it properly).

 

Blue charms are 783.2 xp each, allowing 1.72m xp/hour when training. Each pouch represents a loss of 8,727 gp, making blues 11.14 gp/xp

 

Crimson charms are 422.4 xp each, allowing 929.2k xp/hr. Each pouch is a loss of 1803 gp, making crimsons 4.3 gp/xp

 

Green charms are 154.4 xp each, allowing 335.2k xp/hr. Each pouch is a loss of 2206 gp, making greens 14.3 gp/xp

 

Gold charms are 87 xp each, 191.4k xp/hr. Loss of 220 per pouch, so 2.5 gp/xp.

 

I'd say this implies that greens are [cabbage]ty, but to be truly scientific, one should analyze the opportunity cost of training with the charm types (presumably balanced against gathering charms while slaying). Sadly the easiest way for me to get this information has been polluted by the fact that I gained a few million summoning xp on super xp weekend, but I'm not sure exactly how much or at what bonus so I can't calculate slayer xp vs summoning xp gained slaying, and so I can't do average summoning xp/hour. If anyone else knows what their summoning xp was (if at or above lvl 96) when they got 99 slayer, or slayer xp when they got 99 summoning, that would be tremendously helpful (of course, you will also need to know how much xp was gained at what average bonus on bonus xp weekend).

 

But anyways, what's all of your opinions about using greens and golds, and why?

 

All of this is assuming 99 summoning in case anyone didn't catch that btw lols, but don't let that stop you from contributing.

 

idk if this is a questionnaire but i think there is some discussion merit

I pick them all up because charms are hard to come by.

I will be kicking and crawling my way up these last few levels.

I normally pick up all Charms unless there's a constraint on my invo space, like at solo Bandos. 99 Summoning, 16.5m exp.

I used to pick up all charms, but I only pick up crimson/blue now, and if I have space, green. I don't do golds anymore. While it saves my pocket, seeing 1.5k exp per trip to the obelisk just makes me think why? Lol. When I get 99 summoning I will probably only pick up blues, and maybe crimsons. Takes too much time picking each individual charm up.

I'll probably continue to pick up blues, crimsons, and greens after 99 slayer. You never know when a clan or an update will cause unicorns, yaks, or steel titans to become unbuyable. I'll have no use for golds, however.

I am level 99 Summoning i still pick all the charms(except in rare occasions).

I can't seem to stop gathering them :D I don't mind the "extra time" used to pick them up or the inventory space they take.

Charms are awesome in any color :P

I got used to gathering them all, so it's hard to stop doing it :-).

 

just some remarks though:

 

Greens can be very cheap if you make fruit bats

Blues can be very cheap if you make lava titans. Pick up the charms during your slayer task. Even just going out there to get them, is good "money", considering you save around 6k each obby charm (and can get around 200/h). Heck, I even made a few mill, when some clan bought out lava titans and they were 10k each.

It takes less then half a second to pick up a charm. This is almost like the people who go on about not picking up coins because it "takes too long". I seriously can't believe people are that damn lazy/impatient.

 

At any rate, I totally await the day Jagex comes out with some summoning update that uses gold/green charms en masse.

I have around 1200 blues from tds, and I pick them up about half of the time...

 

The only charms that aren't useless are crimsons because noone sells steels.

I pick 'em all up too - anything else would just be a waste and a sign of arrogance: "Oh look, I'm high Summoning, I don't need the gold and green charms cause they don't give enough exp."

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

I'm 96 Summoning and I've stopped picking up golds altogether, I just can't stand how slow they are compared to the other charms :unsure: the relatively high cost of greens compared to their speed is something I don't like either, but since they're decent xp I pick those up too. However, when I don't have a free inv space I don't pick up greens, but I do clear a space for crims/blues.

I stopped picking up golds cuz I realized I'm too lazy to use them :P

greens if I have room.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

I have about 3k-4k gold charms in the bank, so I've stopped picking them up. It would be nice if they released a "high level" familiar that uses gold charms, they just end so much earlier than the other charm types they quickly become too slow to use efficiently.

 

I pick up greens when I have room, always useful to have a stock of those.

I'm not 99 summoning, 89 atm and got roughly 93 banked atm.

 

Two situations I'm charm gathering,

 

Barrageing - I pick up every charm, obviously as I paid so much for them.

General killing, slayer, camping fiends, bosses - If I can I always try and pick up blues/crims, but never bother with golds and occasionally greens if I have no space.

 

For the record, I hate useing gold charms, the XP per run is just to damn slow :(

Solo GWD'er

 

Drops: Bandos Hilt x 1/ boots x 1 / Steam staff x 1 / Shards x 9

 

99 Str/ 99 Att/ 99 HP (More to come...)
