Ancient Effigies

[essal]

I've already posted a thread about this, asking what monsters would be good to kill for them. I was happy with the replies, but I'd like to ask y'all once again, however I'd like you to exclude bosses.

 

So, what monsters to kill to quickly obtain effigies excluding bosses? Thanks!

[Sy_Accursed]

I hear strykewyrms are pretty good for getting them; but tbh the best route seems to be (as with clues) jsut do slayer.

[glasscube]

From what I have read on other threads, Frost dragons if you have 85 dung, otherwise TD's.

[essal]

I know TDs are good for effigies, but they require too much concentration at the moment... gotten 6 pairs of dragon claws, though. 70 dungeoneering. Any other suggestions?

If you can't do tormented demons and frost dragons you are likely better off doing slayer for them. However, there is a huge dropoff in the drorates after those two monsters so the best campable monsters would be black demons, abyssal demons, dark beasts and iron/steel dragons.

Top three ways to get them

 

Frost Dragons > TD's > Slayer

 

Although if you want to get them another way camping Metal dragons has worked well for me.

Just did black demons and got one. After the XP weekend, I'll be 98 Summoning, so I guess charms/effigies won't really affect me that much. Might use them for dungeoneering, though (85 for frosts).

List of monsters that drop effigies.

 

Assuming drop rates are the same, Dagannoths seem best if you're going purely for effigies since you can slaughter so many of them in such a short amount of time.

Heard TD's are pretty good.

 

Edit: I need to learn to read threads before posting, sorry, L.

They aren't the same? Sorry my bad, I always assumed they were like clues in that aspect.

This is off-topic, but since when do clues have equal drop rates? I always thought they....weren't.

Come to think of it, you're right. Bad example.

 

Point being: I was under the impression that effigies had an equal drop rate (where I got that idea, idk). Apparently they don't, so in that case I'd just point to what everyone said.

I'm sorry as i know this is too very much off topic, but realistically, the help and advice usually has a purpose, and more often than not, that purpose is to give help and advice to other people, but you posted on a topic about which you knew nothing about some terribly inaccurate information which you then followed up with an even more terrible example. You are representing the tip.it WEBSITE crew truly poorly on this topic, and i'd suggest having personal/confirmed knowledge about things that you do post as facts, because otherwise you'll come up looking like this again. Again, sorry if it got too much off topic.

You're right. It's going too much off-topic, I'll PM with my response.

 

As for this topic, my apologies for bad information.

I'd be with XPX, Jagex expressly said that higher level monsters drop effigies more commonly.

Why on earth are people giving him crud for being wrong?

 

The crew are human too, its not like he came and gave random advice he completely guessed at, he posted advice he thought was correct and just happened to be under a misapprehension.

I mean jeeze just because you are wrong doesn't mean you are guessing wildly or meant to be wrong.

 

I mean no-one gives this kind of crap to all the kids who still say void and salve don't stack.

[homowz]

allthough his reasons were wrong, i have to agree with zaaps. Do dagas if you want some non boss monster to camp...

ive collected about 49 effys atm and most of them i got from abbys, dagas and greaters...
