Anyone else notice alot more crashers? I usually don't have a problem finding a free world after a couple world hops but seems like alot of people just set there cannon next to mine rofl ah well

More and more people are getting 85 dungeon so it'll be harder to get a world/spot.

Which in turn means that this is not as good money making method as it was when this guide was released, still very good though. Just that people who don't cannon will steal some dragons from you when you are cannoning.

 

I liked personally using elite void with deflector and barrows gloves when meleeing them with cannon, didn't really get much more hit by their meleeattack. I'd recommend it in case you have them already :) Just because it'll give you longer trips with more offensive potential.

 

Prayer bonuses: Elite void: +8, bandos chest and tassets and neitiznot helm: +5 (+8 if using verac's skirt instead)

I did a round of range yesterday, and my first trip ranging, which had a few errors, still pulled me a bit over 180 in an hour. But you DEFFO do need summon pots still. I was juggling 8 bones on the ground at one point, with 6 in my mostly full of ppots Yak

So I did a second trip with Range, and I think I nailed it this time. Eagle Eye was used.

 

I did my own version of a setup, which is here

 

 

[spoiler=Inv + Gear (29 PPots + Tele in Yak)]

 

 

 

 

I kept things simple yet easy to follow by just redrinking my ExRange everytime I redrank my Super Antifire. Bringing an extra ExRange or two may boost overall kills by 2 - 4 more/hr, but it's so much easier to just dose both at once and not need to focus too badly. Summoning potions are still very vital when ranging, With this setup, the summoning potions lasted me for the entire first yak, and a few minutes of the second. From that point on I put bones in my yak as I withdrew prayer potions

 

[spoiler=60 minutes in]

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=100 minutes in]

 

 

 

 

That is after 100 minutes, give or take some seconds. I had supplies to last an additional 10 minutes without cutting anything efficiency wise. It took me 4 minutes to load my yak and get to frosts, and I allowed 2 minutes to spare when I tabbed out. Since Yaks last 58 minutes each, this means you can stay about 110 minutes if you can load up fast.

 

[spoiler=Final Trip Loot]

 

 

 

 

Various details about supplies used, attention paid to, etc., are stated in the chatbox in the above pic. Average kills per hour was ~194.2

 

 

 

TO SUMMARIZE;

 

Assuming Void deflector + ACP and CCBow with Archer (i), I could assume a rough 200 frosts/hr. Using Overloads, which I honestly don't recommend, or bringing 2 - 3 extra ExRange's could bump it to 203 an hour, with full attention, Rigour, and maxed everything, level and gear wise.

 

For my next trip I would probably omit 1 - 2 Prayer Potions in favor of Summoning Potions to bank a few extra items to just slightly increase profit/trip.

As i'm preparing to return with free trade I really appreciate getting extra information. Really nice to see that the guide is still helpful to some, almost half a year in.

Forgot to note I used Eagle Eye, not Rigour

very nice guide, been looking for a good magic slaying guide, but i'm wondering if it would be worth maging these without using overloads?

The problem with no overloads is that you'll be giving up alot of damage and inventory space, and as magic is already much worse than the other classes, it's not worth it in my mind. I'd rather suggest ranging/meleeing and then bursting/barraging atoll skeles for mage xp.

What do you think someone my level could expect from frosts?

 

50 kills an hour, 100, 150?

 

At 18k ea 100 kills an hour would still mean 1.8m an hour before expenses

 

I can make super antifires - and even extreme attacks at the time of writing this, and would likely be able to use a rapier would 1.5m gphr profit be a realistic expectation? or should I be expecting higher or lower?

 

My intention is to use frosts to fund 95 prayer and 91 (or 96) herblore as well as fund bursting lobs for summoning

I think up to around 1.8-2.2m an hour it realistically possible if you can push your herblore up to extreme strengths, but you'll need to use effective cannoning techniques quite often.

Awesome guide ill be getting 88 dung along with chaotic cbow. I dont have yak and will only have 80rng but im going to try and make money for 90herblore.

what is your average gold per hour at frosties?

what is your average gold per hour at frosties?

with what method? at best, i'd say over 4m

How much do I need to change the setup if I don't have turmoil or soul split. I'd just be using piety, which would not allow me to use the soul split flicking for healing. Would I need to significantly change the inventory to bring lot more food to compensate?

If you have yak, you have to change the inv to allow for much shorter trips(likely one hour) and bring lots of food. Defense bonuses will more pronounced so try using full barrows(veracs skirt and helm). If you can, kite melee attacks as much as you can(similar to kiting 360s in fight caves). Overall, i'd suggest sticking to range in such a situation as it's just so much easier.

What do you mean by "kite" as a verb?

Attack as the dragon is maging, then step out of melee range before the dragon is able to use its melee attack. Attack again as it mages/fire breath and step away again before it's able to melee.

Just curious, what would someone with my stats make there? I'm getting 80 attack and 85 Dungeoneering but I don't have any Summoning levels. A friend of mine says he makes ~800k/h without a familiar here (not much, I know, but it's still quite a bit better than almost everything else with my skills).

Given that summoning is extremely easy to get to 68, i would suggest doing that before going. It will affect your profits significantly. Other than that, with low levels, ranging is suggested, and i would suggest a range setup with 80+ ranged.

I could last 4 antifire (4) before I got soulsplit although I did have yak. I brough 2 sharks every 3-5 p pots and wore dh body with verac skirt.

Awesome, thanks a lot. :)

Thanks a lot for the great guide!

 

I dont have the pray/herb/summon levels, but your tips really helped. I'm restricted to piety, tort and supers for now. Even being full of bots, I'd still make 1-2mil/hr there. I got a visage 2 hours after getting 85 dung, ~100th frostie kill, and frost bones seems to be going back up!

Nice guide. It's sad that Frosts are nearly useless due to bots.. But I still go there after every RS update for a few hours before the bots update their [cabbage].

Hey, I am going to try and do frosts after every update, and I was wondering if it will actually be worth it for me? My stats are in my signature, and I have rapier and ccb. Any thoughts if it will be worth it for me (anything above 700k gp/hr)? If so, how should I kill them: range or melee?

 

P.s. First post on forums ever! :D

I'd say melee, you don't really need ranged xp. With a yak you wouldn't be able to survive very well without soul split but since you use a war tortoise anyway you can just take a few pieces of food every time you bank,
