guitar_god_2007 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 So it's been a few months now since effigy's were released and what i wanted to know is, What are your views on them? What monster do you find drops then frequently, how do you feel about the ability to assist them and there reward?

Knitewulf Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I love them, Very good xp and it usually doesn't take long to find someone willing to assist with them.I've had 2 effigy drops each from Nechs and Gargs and 1 from blue dragons. I haven't been slaying as much as I was though. 61,358th to 99 range on May 23rd, 2010.100,927th to 99 def on February 13th, 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la la la Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Frost dragons are great droppers. 2 in 500 kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mio Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I've only ever had 2 Effigys, Both from the same slayer task (44 Iron dragons) Couldn't find any assisters so I took them both to varrock and got 5k exp each from them and spent it on agility.. Supose it's be better if I could find assisters... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 My friend gets 6 a day usually slaying, I get a few now and then, I spent 18 I had today (I don't need to find assisters thankfully) and to clarify not 18 in a day over the past 3 weeks ;).

Sephy_ Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I always seem to end up with one when on metal dragon task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I've yet to get one, but I haven't been Slaying or killing any monsters lately. If any of you need Smithing assistance let me know, I have 99. I'd rather help some TIF people than cruise RSOF for people posting on the effigy thread.

crashNburn Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I like effigies, found 14~ this week slaying, 17 sitting in my bank atm. Once I have enough for 99 prayer (85-95 effigies), I'll turn them into lamps. Everything on kuradel's list (besides smages I think) has a nice chance of dropping them. Earlier today I had 2 effigies drop from spectres within 5 seconds of each other. Edit: Interactive dungeoneering floor mapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star. Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 My friend gets 6 a day usually slaying, I get a few now and then, I spent 18 I had today (I don't need to find assisters thankfully).Whaaaaaat? I slay everyday and on some days I get none and on others I get a couple :\ I find that Dark Beasts drop them a lot for me. The other slayer monsters are average. I have a ton of these bad boys in my bank and I plan on getting them down to the lamp myself. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAncient Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Why? That would drastically reduce their usefulness... That's the point. They're overpowered.

Diesel Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Even though all I do in-game is slay these days, I've only ever had 1 effigy since they were released. I liked the bonus xp it gave, so no complaints here, but I wonder why I've had such bad luck when other slayers get so many.

Joe Schmoe Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Ever since they came out I've gotten about 20ish of them, from all types of tasks, from dust devils to black demons (I get my tasks exclusively from Kuradel). As far as the assistance aspect of them, I personally don't care for it, since it puts me at the mercy of others, despite the fact that they get the XP and not me. I still makes me uncomfortable. I just take them down to Varrock Museum. 5K is better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmmmm83 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I had 3 so far, but I haven't exactly been slaying a lot. (one from gargoyles, one from dark beasts, one from steel dragons)Assisting effigies got me 97 herblore and an easy 30k xp on farming/herblore/crafting. At first they seemed overpowered, now I consider them a nice little extra on my way to 99 slayer. If you guys have problems with effigies: w117 Daemonheim, 'assist clan' or 'effigies cc' might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Frost dragons or tormented demons are likely the best droppers. They are easily overpowered, i have already gone from 87-93(ok, 50k to 93) runecrafting with them, and also received a good amount of experience for other skills(90-91 mining, 93-94,5 fishing and 87-88 agility) with other useful experience in maxed skills. I have got around about 75 effigy drops to date going from 14,3-20m slayer and 9k frost dragons. I do agree that effigy assist is a bit overpowered right now, 10-20% of the xp would make more sense and allow more assists. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.First to 4664 Port Score on 2. March, 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximusa Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Eh I like them but I prefer they never entered the game. Too easy xp and degrading for something that doesnt really add anything but free xp. I havnt been training combat for a long time so I havnt had any until recently while killing frost dragons. They are imo average droppers as my new average so far is every 640 kills and 200 of them takes an hour. However nice the free xp is its just degrading. I can I.D all of them which means I get like 140k free xp each time. o_0 With the lamp I can get over 1m gp for free on prayer or something. I calculated how many effigy lamps I would need from 99 prayer to 100 prayer and it was only 29 or 30. Thats 1.4m xp and I would only need 30 max of them. Needless to say that instead of paying 25m or whatever I will instead wait a couple of weeks from slayer to get it for free.... 30 isnt THAT many tbh. The other aspect of the update is a bit overpowered too. Every day I assist people for 30k xp within minutes of my prev assist. Again that means about 1m free geepee saved on the skill and 30k xp. It is annoying having to ignore yet more people asking for assist when they will never EVER EVER EVER EVERRR be able to assist me due to fact that I literally always ready to assist within moments of when my prev assist expires. If I assist at 15:41 then its likely by tomorrow I assist between 15:42-15:45 depending on how fast the other person is. Thank god there is a cap! Without it it would just be sad how easy that xp is. So I like them but probably best they never put them into the game and it gives people yet more reason to annoy and follow me without permission. One more point. The ENTIRE time I was writing this post I had one person asking for my assist constantly. :rolleyes: Admittedly I happen to be at edge and was asking for trouble though.

guitar_god_2007 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Its just shocking just how much help these effigies give you!
