Boss Hunting

[Curiosity]

My combat stats:

99 Attack 99 Strength 94 Defence 99 Constitution 87 Range 75 Prayer 95 Magic 79 Summoning

 

1) Is the Kalphite Queen even worth hunting anymore?

...The famed Dragon Chainbody seems "worthless" compared to the oh-so ubiquitous Bandos Chestplate, and the Dragon platebody is now the "complete Dragon set" piece. Although it has a high value still, it doesn't seem as profitable as other boss monsters. However, it may be amongst the easiest bosses to kill.

 

2) Tormented Wraith Solo? Or Corporeal Beast Team?

... I heard that the safespot for Wraith has been removed, so soloing will be much harder. However, it does drop valued spirit shields (no sigils) and the Holy Elixir. The Corporeal Beast is riskier but I see much hope/potential in the sigil drops. In addition, the other drops don't seem that bad. If I go with Corp Beast, should I try my luck with Corp Masses or a small elite team?

 

3) How great are Tormented Demons? How profitable are they?

... Dragon claws are the main attraction...

 

4) God Wars Bosses:

...Armadyl - tried but failed miserably, not sure if I can "handle it."

...Zamorak - seems boring, and I doubt anyone will buy the hilt (since the special really stinks).

...Bandos - too crowded, but might be the easiest.

...Saradomin - I heard that soloing her got harder... but the Saradomin Hilt seems worth it...

 

5) Dagannoth Kings:

...Used to do it with some friends, and it was great, until the prices crashed. Not sure if its worth anymore, since my primary role was to wreck Rex, however, many people keep soloing it.

 

6) Or Should I avoid Boss Monsters, and try Clue Scrolls/Barrowing?

1) As someone who avidly hunts Dragon items. No. A thousand times no. The average drop of KQ is worth ~3,000 gp. I'm not kidding. Meanwhile, she is probably one of the hardest bosses to solo around. Saying this confidently as I've solod the majority of RS bosses (save K'ril, Kree'arra and CB).

 

2) Tormented Wraith is an utter waste of time. Focus on CB if you can handle it (you'd need to be nearly maxed to stand chance of being included in teams).

 

3) Very profitable. Relatively easy (with a boss mindset). If you can kill Tormented Demons, you should.

 

4)

Kree'arra: Can't say, no experience.

K'ril: dito

Zilyana: Her room is has indeed roughly halved in size. You can fire about 1~2 shots every corner run. Still, her drops are quite good and might make for an interesting experience.

Graardor: Easiest boss to solo, second easiest to get KC for and unfortunately... easiest place to get crashed. Last time I went there, 95% of the worlds I visisted were busy. Make of it as you will.

 

5) Soloing Rex was quite possibly the best moneymaking and most relaxed experience I ever had with boss battles. Still, I'm unsure how safespots were affected as I haven't visted that place after the RuneTek5 update. Last trip though, I came home with a Clue scroll, Dragon Spear, Dragon Hatchet, 1 Warrior ring and that was after a total of around 140 kills.

 

6) If you're looking for net profit with combat, look into Frost dragons, Barrowing and Tormented Demons. Roughly in that order.

The Kalphite Queen is far from worth it now. Too few kills per hour, and the chain is too rare for it to be a grand moneymaker.

 

Tormented Wraith, never done that so I do not know, but as far as I can tell, your chance of a holy elixir is a lot better at corporeal beast. Though I can not promise you will get into a team easily with your stats.

 

Tormented Demons in terms of gold pieces per hour has dropped, mainly because dragon claws dropping in price, despite that, they are still a good moneymaker though. Also, I have heard it is one of the best ways to get effigies.

 

With your ranged level, I suggest you just stay away from Armadyl. You will get too few kills per hour, and most do not want someone under level 90 ranged there.

 

Zamorak, it is not crowded, that is a good thing. But if the hilt is hard to sell? I doubt it, you will definitely sell it for minimum. Despite the special not being useful, I believe there are still individuals who want to buy it either because they need it for one of the certain places it is useful, or they can not buy any other godswords and need one right at the moment. (The Bandos godsword might be cheaper, but in rare cases it might be unbuyable.)

 

Bandos is by far the easiest, and the most crowded. It rivals Tormented Demons in cash income if you have 96 summoning and good gear.

 

Saradomin is harder now, and I do not know how it is done these days. I know teams use melee, but not what is best for soloing. I do believe though that it used to be ranged.

 

Dagannoth Kings are best when you have a pack yak, it increases the income per hour by a lot. But I suggest you stick to Rex.

 

Hunting for clue scrolls will not do much, you should rather just do them if you come by one. And I am uncertain about barrowing, I vaguely remember reading that the pieces you get are rarer. It could still be a feasible moneymaker though.

 

Good luck finding a boss that suits you.

1) Is the Kalphite Queen even worth hunting anymore?

nope - u can do 2-6 kills a trip but dosnt worth it

 

2) Tormented Wraith Solo? Or Corporeal Beast Team?

if u dont have overloads then dont cuz it going to be BIG waste of ur time

 

3) How great are Tormented Demons? How profitable are they?

as many friends said - TDS dosnt worth anymore since d claws crashing (but i think its good since they are +20m still)

 

4) God Wars Bosses:

...Armadyl - very good money but u got low range for it =\

...Zamorak - if u pro in zam do it always duo/trio

...Bandos - very good money is u ffa or solo

...Saradomin - very good money but i hate sara boss cuz shes booooooring

 

5) Dagannoth Kings:

massive money - even if u dont have a yak but u will make a huge money

 

6) Or Should I avoid Boss Monsters, and try Clue Scrolls/Barrowing?

clue hunting dosnt worth much now but doing barrows is hell of money & good mage xp if u do it the pro way aka no time wasting

 

 

but i got a lil advice - go for 85 dung then u will start getting the real money from frosts -- bones very good money & effigies also they drop visages

Warrior is quite right.

 

A note on corping: a pro team requires maxed melees, overloads, turmoil, karil's/zspear/ardy 3/fury/d boots/neit/berserker ((i) or (dstone i))/barrows gloves. Apparently high summoning is also useful.
