obtaining an uncut onyx

[neanderthol]

so i've decided to get 2.7m tokkul for an uncut onyx. i know this might seem like stupid idea but it will get me around 3 million ranged xp at quite a good xp/h.

 

i want the gem so i can make a fury amulet out of it requesting assistance of other players for the cutting etc. i know i can make gp much faster and just buy it, but it is a goal of mine.

 

but i was having second thoughts about turning it into fury as i've heard it has street value. does anyone know how much it is going for?

 

btw im 425k tokkul on my way :)

With turmoil, extremes, rapier, steel titan + scrolls, and good gear, it takes about 15-20 hours to get an onyx. Just ranging and using safespots is going to take significantly longer, as you can imagine. :mellow: I doubt that onyx gems have enough street to justify spending that much time ranging. I know it's a goal of yours, but if you make money another way and just buy a fury and use red chins to get your 3m ranged exp, you'll save a TON of time. I would guess that you'd save at least 20-30 hours of work, and that's a lot. Just something to consider. I wouldn't normally tell you to just do something else, but you'll probably go crazy trying to camp for a gem.

uncut/cut onyx has no street to speak of.

I tried a while ago the same thing you are trying.It gets real boring and the drops just don't justify the amount of time it will take. Do slayer to train range and u will profit a lot faster.

not true. i usually do slayer but from 93-94 range i spent my time in thzaar. i have over 800k tokkul and made almost 2 mil from drops. Slayer is very overrated even in the high 70's which is where i am right now. If your range level and gear is good enough to enable you to steal kills, thzaar is a great training environment.

There's a discrepancy between the price of cut/uncut onyx and a fury due to them being used to make the untradable onyx ring (i), but it doesn't have street value.

I have no clue to your question, but wish you good luck.

 

Some things aren't the most efficient, but I like goals like yours myself because they keep the game interesting. I once made 1k curry gathering all the supplies myself, just to see what it was like and I don't regret spending time like that at all. As you long as you enjoy killing for tokkul, good on you.

Slayer doesn't get good in the 70's :rolleyes:

 

Speaking purely efficiency wise, tzhaar are absolutely horrible (so is slayer for range training).

That being said, you should try it out if it's come to your mind to do it, because you may thoroughly enjoy it.

 

As for your question on what to turn it into. Either a ring or Fury. If you plan to get the MA rings, make it into a ring, but if you don't plan to anytime soon, fury.

Ye, ring is where the value is, and its considerably lower then normal. As well, with nothing to trade it for/junk, the ring will do you nothing.
