Triquos Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I give up trying to find the most efficient effigy dropper, as I get them from all types of slayer monsters high or low level. My best streak was 2 effigies in 14 mithril dragon kills on a slayer task though, other than that I haven't had any effigies for a few days now :( and I slay a lot o_O I think they're one of the best updates that has come out so far.

Mecakoto Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 On the topic of them being over-powered... They are overpowered tbh: The challenge of a mistake is not to avoid it. The challenge of a mistake is dealing with the outcome. Proud of who I am and what I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I got one from Td's and another two kills later :thumbsup:. No other effigies though, but I hardly do any slayer anyway.

Obtaurian Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I love them. There are certain skills that I absolutely hate to grind, so I've been saving my effigies for when I get higher levels in those skills. I've gotten most of mine from 97-99 slayer. I only wish they had come out when I was a much lower slayer level. I would be okay with increasing the rarity of them, though. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

jettrider Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I feel that Tormented Demons and Frost Dragons, already crowded and packed with incentives to kill, drop them too often. Otherwise drop rates are good. I think effigies do a great job of rewarding players for getting stats in the 90s. However, I think assisting effigies is overpowered because dragonkin lamps give an unwarranted, disproportional percentage of an effigy's total experience. 2496 Completionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakdragon39 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I like them but... I also think things would be better without them. They really are a large amount of free exp. And that's their only purpose. Seeing as we have them though, I'm going to use them. :P The only skill I have that I can do my own effigies is 92 mining though. I've gotten three from slayer, but that's it. Seems like some people are REALLY lucky with them, and others aren't so much... not a lot of in between. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 They do feel very overpowered. Their whole purpose is to cut down on grinding levels though I think some Mod said.I dont get many so I dont mind them. :P ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Nabbagad Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Dark Beasts drop them the most for me and I've have 2 double effigies from them. Though isn't it the higher the combat level of the monster, the more chance of it dropping an effigy? would you guys like it if effigy's were also gathered through skills? i'e in birds nest, out of rocks, picking pockets fishing nets? etcSince many agree that they are overpowered already, I doubt people would want more ways of bringing them into the game.

Mazhar Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 You know it's overpowered when you get faster mining exp killing frosts than mining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupremoPete Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I seem to get them off random slayer monsters mainly. I do like the update though, gives me a chance of getting a lot of bonus xp over time and will come useful once I hit 91 rc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jettrider Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 You know it's overpowered when you get faster mining exp killing frosts than mining BS. If you investigate every stage of an effigy yourself you will get an average of 11,250 mining experience per effigy (90k total exp/8 possible skills). If you have 99 mining and use the final lamps on mining, you'll get an additional 48,029 experience for a total of 59,279 mining experience per effigy. Considering it takes 90-120 minutes to get an effigy from frost dragons, that's 30-40k experience per hour at 99 mining. That's ridiculously easy to pass even casually mining (not to mention you'd probably get less experience from the effigy depending on mining level). Yes it was an exaggeration and yes you need to consider money value, but it's faster to train individual skills than to camp effigy droppers if you are only concerned about one skill. 2496 Completionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
