Zombie Monkies - Nerfed XP?

[Bad911]

Simple question, I haven't trained melee in a long time and it seems really slow right now. I'm getting about 1k xp per minute with a saradomin sword and salve (e). My prayer lasts for 5 minutes+ and I'm doing 290s easy, but I feel - slow.

 

Extra questions:

[hide]

1. Recently made my range tank (94 Range, 70 Defence) a member, but I did it instinctively without thinking about it. I have about 45k gp, I got my ava's device, I got a rune xbow, I made some silver bolts, but I'm kinda lost on how to construct my wardrobe. How does someone range-tank in members?

2. Slayer helmet doesn't work on Slayer Challenges? I've been killing dragons for a while and I have seen no difference with it on and with it off. Thinking about just finishing the Slayer Challenge and going back to my Neitiznot.

3. Should I get "Ability to make Broad Bolts" and "Ability to make Slayer Ring", I'm thinking yes on Broads but no on Ring.

4. Is there a monster that drops any type of charms 100%? Excluding boss monsters of course.

5. What is everyone talking about when they talk about Overloads. Its like, "yeah he did overloads" and that constitutes a response like "ohhhhh" and then the conversation ends.

6. Were Rocktails/Cavefish implemented recently or something? I feel like they're new, but I don't trust myself.

7. Should I buy a cannon for Green Dragons, I'm trying to get 70 prayer (about 1.5k d-bones, I have 200ish) and now that I can't use BH to recharge, I have to use the CW to recharge and go to the eastern dragons instead of Chaos Tunnels. The people there with cannons are crazy, is it worth the extra trouble to get one? (I have 73 range...)

8. Which one would be better - Dragon Square Shield, Blessed Spirit Shield, or Crystal Shield.

9. It looks like Bronze Knives went loco after I left, is there a reason?

edit:

10. Since they upgraded Castle Wars, I hear some of the prizes are pretty good? Any specific ones that I can get, I have a lot of unused Castle Wars tickets from before.

11. Is enchanting air orbs a viable source of magic experience? Only problem I see would be a buying of 100 per 4 hours, is that the only hitch it has? Should I make them into battlestaves?

12. How do people get 8+ herbs a run, I always hear about it but I never can do it myself. Is it because of their high farming? I do have the Magic Secateurs and the most I've gotten is 8.

13. Do the sap curses work only when I attack them, or effect every monster attacking me?

14. Is the anti-poison totem equipped - is it equipped in the defence hand if it is equipped?

Are you pietying/turmoiling and using super++ sets?

[GibberEsh]

Never trained at zombie monkeys so I can't answer that :\ I'll answer what I can

6) LRC was added in Sept 17 09 so sorta recent.

11) I read somewhere that it's 500+ air orbs per hour so a measly 38k xp/hour? Not sure since I haven't done it in ages. It'd probably be better if you just buy air orbs and make air battlestaves but once again, the GE limit. Or just go for SC and d'hide bodies/

12) Farming level has nothing to do with harvest amount. It's just luck. If you're using supercompost and secateurs, then there's nothing else you can do.

14) In the shield slot.

are you using a combat familiar?

No, but isn't 60k still kinda low? Its only double what people get in f2p flesh crawlers. >.<

mm, thx.

No...=X

 

Is there a guide anywhere, for armored zombies or monkies, or whatever melee.

[glasscube]

Well if you aren't using atleast a super set then you'll have troubles getting anywhere near the max amount you can get. Piety/turmoil adds like 15-20k a hour at undead.

 

Also if you aren't in the mid 90s for your attack skills then you won't get the max amount either. Also yes, use a combat familiar.

[AndJusticeForOne]

You should always be using super sets. ALWAYS.

 

Question 10: I've heard the faithful shield(I think that's the name) is pretty good if you need prayer bonus from your shield slot. Other than that, not much, I think.
