Green dragons... take hide or not?

[gspbeetle]

Take hide or not take hide? This is the question.

I have ask that question and I got answers which sometime is a 'yes' or sometimes a 'no' and mostly just silence or the universal answer, 'noob'.

 

method: daemon, bank, games back = 30sec average, opportunity cost = 1.5 dragons + 2 inventory slots +100gp teleport fee

average time for me to kill a dragon = 20secs

 

green hide = 1856 = 36% of a d bone

dragon bones = 5017

 

dont take hide: (5017*25-100)/(20*27+30)= 219.868421gp/sec or 791,53k per hour

take hide: ((5017+1856)*12+5017-100)/(20*13+30)= 301.355172gp/sec or 1084.88k per hour

 

Does that correct or even make sense?

 

Also, should I take stuff that worth more than d hides?

 

here is a list of those stuff:

adamant full helm = 1959 = 39% of a d bone

emerld = 2,394 = 48% of a d bone

water runes x75 = 2711 = 54% of a dbone, stacks

nature runes x15 = 2985 = 59% of a dbone, stacks

rune dagger = 4652 = 93% of a dbone

Take hide.

I have always taken the hides. Seems worthwhile to me.

I think you need to add an extra second per dragon if pick up hides and also banking should be slightly slower unless you bank all and get your teles out again.

 

Still worth picking them up.

Why Dont You just alch the other drops?

Bank with dueling ring. And take the hide.

I suppose the ring of dueling is slightly faster than dungeon ring, but it add an extra 200gp teleport cost per trip...

I think I will try this method for a while and time it to see how it goes.

Firstly the alch value for some of the goods is much lower than the market value (high valued runes, herbs and gems for example).

There also exist a risk for taking 1 inventory spot for explorer ring or 2 inventory spot out for runes purely for anticipating an uncommon drop, especially when each trip is only around 5mins.

258. There's 8 teles per ring, not 10.

If you care that much, you can bank them at (1) and use as junk.
