Piety!

I just got it and it drains fasttttt.

 

What are some tasks that Piety shouldn't and should be used?

 

 

EDIT!

 

I want to get 92 Herblore. Yes, it is a LONG way fro 57, but how much gold should I budget? I'm willing to grind some money making methods if it isn't too bad.

I use it on all tasks that I melee. The drops should cover the cost of the pots. Wear some prayer boosting gear if it doesn't.

[Norriie]

Yes, if you want to use piety for slayer, the drops should cover it (make sure you're wearing pray-boosting gear, though!). Even if some tasks don't drop enough to break even [like hellhounds], you should easily make up for it on other high profit tasks, like dragons or warped torts.

(Although, personally, I don't use piety for slayer. But I'm not quite as worried about efficiency as a lot of people here.)

 

As for training herblore.. If you're making potions and buying all the supplies, you can generally assume it will cost you around 18-21 gp/exp. So, for you to get the approximately 6.3m exp needed for 92, it will cost somewhere around 114-132m. It's really, really expensive. You can save money by using all your exp lamps and penguin hunting exp on herblore, by growing your own herbs, getting herbs from MTK, or possibly training by cleaning herbs (this used to be profitable, but extremely slow exp. I don't know if it still is.)

[Grogthurk]

Would collecting seconds but buying the rest cut down on the cost? Or cost enough to make it worth while?

[Norriie]

Yeah, it would cut down on the cost somewhat, but it'd be pretty tedious gathering enough secondary ingredients for 40-50k potions. I recommend just working at it slowly. Just use your herbs from slayer, MTK, and farming, along with penguin exp and you'll get there.

Alternately, if jagex does another exp weekend, you could take advantage of that. That's how I got my herby high enough for extremes.

It depends on your income. If you can only gather 300k gp/hr worth of snape grass, but you could make 1m gp/hr killing dragons, then you're losing 700k gp/hr in opportunity cost. So gathering secondary ingredients can make herblore cheaper, but only if it's faster profit than the fastest moneymaker you could be doing in its place.

Desert phoenix feathers are the only seconds you should get yourself if you can do green dragons at your level (and you can).

Make super attacks to level up herblore. Irits are cheap 3k-ish and the second is really cheap. Also save your avantoes for exteme attacks.

That works, too, though special recovers are somewhat cheaper than extreme attacks and available earlier, so you may want to make a life's supply of those as well.

Piety:

It depends on how well you obtain money through other methods. If you easily make a lot of money, I'd use piety on every task, but if you don't, then perhaps on tasks with monsters that either have high defense, that you'd like to die more quickly or where you need more defense because of the hits.

 

As far as herblore goes, consider this: which potions would you use most frequently (I'm guessing super antifires, extreme attack and strengths)? Why would you get such a high herblore, anyway? You can use spicy stews to boost your herblore +5 (decent rate of occurring) making you able to produce every potion @ 91 herblore. And I doubt you'd need overload potions @ your level, anyway. You might wanna decrease your targeted herblore level and wait 'till you obtain more money overall so you don't have enough money for other things once you decide to train it. You might also want to use your money on other things instead (e.g. 95 prayer). Whatever you prefer.

 

Hope this helps :thumbup:

Elite Seer's diary requires 92 herblore, so I'm betting it's because of that.

[SoulWars]

It doesn't require 92, you can make the potion @ 87!

[Lose No Hope]

It doesn't require 92, you can make the potion @ 87!

I'm assuming that's with a stew and a bit of luck?

[Bladewing]

use piety whenever you melee, until you get 95 prayer

 

i'd say have 150-200m to play around with for 92 herblore

 

ps: i would say purchasing turmoil first is far superior to purchasing extreme potions first if you primarily melee

I'm getting that gist from most people.

 

Right now my school work has kinda gone on overload, so I hooked up two monitors to semi-afk Magic Trees while doing essays.

Yes. Theoretically, however, you could make it @ 86, but it's so rare that it's pointless. The +5 boost isn't that rare making it reasonable
