Zephy Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Is there a way to quickly farm for effigies? I understand these things are hardly common, but if I could get even a few a day, it would be well worthwhile. Disclaimer: The above is probably inaccurate.

manitstinks Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Just kill lots of monsters that drop them. It might not beworth it since it's only a small amount of xp. Skilling is waybetter than camping for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephy Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Just kill lots of monsters that drop them. It might not beworth it since it's only a small amount of xp. Skilling is waybetter than camping for one.Unless said skill costs 30 gp/xp. In which case, I'd be getting like 600k-700k worth of value per effigy. (Equivalent to a full hour of casual money making.) Then getting even one per hour would be nice, assuming some side exp benefit too, from the combat. Related question, what's the drop mechanic for effigies? Disclaimer: The above is probably inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 They're about 1 in 100 from TDs... I've heard ice strikewyrms drop them very frequently, but I'm nowhere close to slaying those, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 you can expect 1/100-150k slayer experience, so just slay really hard. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flareboy64 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I got two in one tzhaar task, it might have just been pure luck though. [hide]99 Strength 99 Fletching 99 Range 99 Hitpoints 99 Attack99 Dungeoneering <3 99 Magic 99 Smithing 99 Herblore 99 ThevingSlayer Drops: 14 whips, 22 D boots, 27 Granite Mauls, 42 Effigies, 5 Dark Bows. What would be cool is if Drakan and his minions kill all the sig heroes in the quest except Raptor who is wrecking. You and him team up and cave in some vampyre heads. He becomes a total bro in future quests and in a GM quest he receives a fatal injury and his last dying words to you are "Brofist, mang"[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrMonopoly Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 TDs have a very high droprate. I piety the fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Take them as they're supposed to be: A nice little bonus while doing combat instead of focusing on amassing them. If you end up finding some NPC with a relatively terrific drop rate, but gives awful xp and loot then it's not worth your time. So as already said, slay or hunt higher leveled monsters. I got 2 from waterfiends and 1 from baby blacks while killing greens in the chaos tunnels. Also if you're in it for the possible xp from investigating the effigy itself, hop onto Assist Clan or Effigies CC. There are tons of people there looking to assist or be assisted. It's a nice way to make use of your daily 30k assist cap or get those effigies processed. You just need to be patient as only 2 effigy investigations will max out a person. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Well, as i've been slaying for effigies myself, the best way seems to be normal slayer coupled with a little task changes- don't do too many low level moster tasks and concentrate on higher level mosters because they drop them much more frequently- so greater demons are a bad task and black demons a very good task, muted tortoises a bad task but steel dragons a very good one. Kill black dragons instead of the baby variants and so on.. And it's true they are about 100-150k slayer xp per on average, though you may get 3 on a task and then none for 800k+ slayer xp, the best droppers seem to be ice strykewyrms, dark beasts, black demons, iron dragons and abyssal demons.

Jesus_Status Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I get them pretty frequently from abby demons, I've had 7 in about 1500 kills, the nice thing about them is at my prayer level they're worth over a mil in d bones saved :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortilliachp Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 soloing godwars is another option where you stand to gain a lot of effigies that hasn't been mentioned yet, as are obviously also dagganoth kings (2.5 bridding). These are already good moneymakers, so i'd use the effigies in skills i dislike leveling, rather than expensive skills. Those can be trained with the money gained.

All_Is_Great Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I thought DKs don't drop effigies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghjkl Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 They don't, at least if they do its less than 1 in 1k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langer Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 From my slaying experience, black demons are nice effigy droppers.

Grimy_Bunyip Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 so someone else mentioned that effigy drop rates could be related to charm drop rates.DK's don't drop charms, likewise they don't drop effigies. I'm wondering if perhaps it's related, specifically, to the blue charm drop rate.As ice strykewyrms and tormented demons are great sources of those. food for thought :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFifaScaper Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Steel and Iron dragons love me for effigys :DI'd try those, only if you're on a slayer task Chelsea FC #1 Join My Clan:[qfc]290-291-830-65346534[/qfc] Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
