What to spend Tokens on

[bedman]

So, I'm going for 100 dungeoneering, and the tokens are starting to accumulate.

 

I've bought rapier, maul, rigour, gem bag, herbicide, scroll of efficiency, and arcane stream necklace already. Right now, I'm at lvl 95 dungeoneering, and I have 200k tokens again.

 

Should I get staff or crossbow? Note that I do not ever do armadyl solo, and don't really plan to either. I sometimes do TD's, sometimes Dk's, sometimes safe pvp. I'm slightly leaning towards staff atm, since hitting high is always more fun.

 

I will also get 5-6m more DG xp sometime in the future, so I will probably get both anyway actually. So maybe it's better to see the big picture: What should I spend 700k tokens on (taking into account the items I have already). Bonecrusher and totem really a waste of tokens? Tbh, the only alternative I see is to save some tokens for recharging, which would mean every chaotic would "cost" me 16m or so.

[Sir_Squab]

I'd say staff first. I plan to get one after a rapier, whenever I actually DG that much. If you have enough tokens left over, might as well get all the rewards that might be semi-useful to you in some way, even if they are overpriced imo.

 

That's just me. If you want to save money on recharging chaotics, go ahead.

Coal bag is very useful if you ever mine.

 

Bonecrusher isn't that bad, if you've got plenty of tokens to spare it might be worth getting - nice for slayer tasks.

[NastyJenny]

Coal bag is handy when mining in LRC when all gold is collapsed, and i think it will get updated to be able to fill within bank soon, so will be good for superheating too, and it's uber cheap anyway.

 

I see you 99 herb, maybe scroll of cleansing is still something to look at even if only making extremes/ovl.

 

Between X-bow or staff i'd get the staff, safe pvp in mind.

I got all the overloads I need (got 99 making them) so I won't buy herb scroll anytime soon, but I certainly will if I ever decide to make more.

 

Right now, I'm thinking of getting staff first, then bonecrusher and totem, and lastly chaotic crossbow. After that I will keep the rest (should be around 200-300k) in case I die with a chaotic, or to recharge em cheaply.

Wait, no scroll of life?

[Quyneax]

Wait, no scroll of life?

I'm fairly sure he does have one of those.

 

I'd get the bonecruncher for the heck of it (cleans the floor nicely) and the demon horn necklace (also for the heck of it really). In the same category, the pet is cute. The anti-poison totem is nice for pp and dks. The ring of vigour can be a nice surprise in safe pvp.

[Sinkhan]

+1 to the totem for PP since you don't have 99 thieving yet.

[TheAncient]

Crossbow is very very good.

[AnneFrank]

Cross bow is great for tormented demons.

Cbow would be better for dks(assuming tribrid) imho.

[bedman]

Srry, I do have one, just forgot about it.

 

I'm just not very keen on c'bow since I seem to never even use a normal c'bow so yeah... + a max hit boost is much more visable than a bit more accuracy.

Well..if you really don't use regular c'bow ....

then go ahead an get chaotic staff

 

*i like using both so yeah ^_^

[All_Is_Great]

Staff simply because you said you enjoy safe pvp. I love my staff, and got it first. The staff is simply the best in the game, no more upgrades, that's why I'd reccommend it.

[ghjkl]

staff then exp

[bedman]

Certainly not spending it on xp. 200k xp is 1h work with a good team, which is not worht 18m iMO.

[TheAncient]

cbow >> staff for safe pvp, lol.

 

staff is pretty useless, you can barely feel the 5% difference

[green9090]

The staff is BAD. There's almost no reason to ever use it over a staff of light- it's SO much more expensive for such a small bonus. Not only do you lose the significant rune saving effect, but then you have to pay recharging fees on top of that. I wouldn't use the chaotic staff for anything even if I could get one for free.

 

Meanwhile the chaotic crossbow is a better rune crossbow. Since rune crossbow is the most common ranging weapon in most situations, you can't really go wrong by upgrading it.

[bedman]

Just got the staff and tried it. I must admit you barely feel the difference. Guess I will get cbow next :-)

might as well get a full chaotic set like me :)

Staff is not BAD. The staff is the BEST staff in the game. If you need to worry about costs while maging in pvp, then you shouldn't mage at all.

If you're talking about safe PvP, I don't see any reason to spend an extra 15% or so for the same basic effect, and the special is quite useful when you're being piled. For dangerous PvP, the staff has a hilariously low alch value, so have fun with that.

If people want to spend 15m on a fury which gives just a couple stats over the glory, why neglect the 5% extra damage? The SOL's spec is useless even when you're being piled because you still will get wrecked by rangers. The ONLY time the Sols spec is helpful is when you're going into the opponents base in castle wars. Also the ccbow has a very low alch value as well, so I don't see your point.

Comparing it to a fury is meaningless because a fury can be sold back. My fury costs me nothing to use, whereas runes for spells vanish as soon as you use them and you can't get anything back from them. It'd have to be a pretty large difference to be worth spending tons more on goofing around in a minigame that is guaranteed not to make you any money back. The difference between the staves won't matter for barraging because the extra damage only works on the primary target and barraging people is all about the splash damage affecting a large amount of people. You're paying way more for the same thing.

 

SOL spec is useful because the majority of people in safe PvP games will be melee, and they'll also be piling mages. If you reduce damage from melee by half that gives you some time to get some distance between yourself and them. If you have a ton of rangers on you you're dead regardless, but that's not generally the case. Either way the spec is a small part of the argument compared to the cost of use.

 

The crossbow is useful for PvM, where the staff just isn't. I wouldn't do dangerous PvP with a crossbow either, but dangerous PvP is the one place in the game where one could make a case for using the chaotic staff over the staff of light. All it requires is balls of steel, because 200k tokens is a lot to risk while you're in mage gear.

[All_Is_Great]

I'm not going to argue whether or not it's worth it. It's worth it to me, but not to you, meh. But there's no denying the Chaotic staff is the best staff in the game and better than the SOL..

[Obtaurian]

I say get a chaotic set -> pet -> totem.
