Whats the best familiar to use while Abyssing deaths at level65?

 

Thinking either a Terrorbird for energy, magpie for money, or a Abyssal Parasite

Familiar doesn't matter. It takes too much time to fill up a abyssal familiar to be worth it, you should use super energies to save space and not always devoting 1 spot to tireless run scrolls, so I guess magpies.

Terrorbird is completely worthless, and you should never run out of run energy. Even if you do, one dose of super energy quickly solves that.

 

I disagree on the abyssal familiar. I believe that it is worth using. Would you throw away your medium pouch? You wouldn't, and an abyssal familiar is essentially the same thing.

I personally get about 300 ess more per hour with a familiar, assuming using all 4 pouches. HOWEVER, you should not use a familiar if you only have 3 pouches, which is the case for the OP. Thus, Magpie I guess would be the best.

In grimy's spreadsheets, the ess per hour rate is less with familiars.

 

 

All of his Abbyss ones are the same essence rate. I the only reason I wasn't sure about the essence familiar was that I have 7 essence left after I fill my three pouches which would be what I need to fill the familiar.

 

Also after a few runs I do see that I don't need to worry about energy

Familiar does matter a bit in ZMi, don't use the terrorbird for ZMi because you will almost always have enough run energy if your above 70+ agility.

 

for deaths however i suggest a terrorbird since you will repeatedly be running back and forwardth from the abyss and edgy bank

The line gets a bit blurred when you're 3 pouching. If you can bank fast enough, a lurker/parasite is still better.

 

When 4 pouching, a lurker/parasite is always superior.

 

Edit: I'm talking about familiar deposit, btw. A mousekeys jump of 2 menu choices allows you to both trigger the edge bank booth and your familiar deposit option.

 

Edit 2: Wow, got pouches mixed up in my head. Yes, absolutely use a lurker/parasite.
