yes another i need help with moneymaking thread, help me anyways =]

[Noxx]

Well, this might be due to the fact that i forgot to mention that i got 4 SOL's when the street was ~100m :/. Also just when the Ranging Amulet came out i sold one for ~150m. Yes, that makes it stupid to say that i have made ~700m with my Slaying but it does however make it the truth. In any case i still maintaing my opinion that Slayer is a great money maker as i still manage a good 3m a day on avg. This all depends on the tasks though. Some people like me are lucky enough to get 4 Abyssal task out of 10 and getting at least 1 whip per task. Also i forgot to mention that on some lesser demon tasks i would do Zammy Gwd. It still falls under Slayer.

You just need to be willing to spend a bit more time doing a skill to gain a greater wealth.

Errm, it's worthless to bring such instances into an example. I, for example, made around 300m camping for whips when cash was worth loads more(blue hat was 30m), but it's useless for giving example of a good moneymaker as the time only moves in one direction.

 

If bringing examples, it's worthless to talk about anything but averages. Slayer isn't a good moneymaker on the basis that camping one particular monster is always better.

Fair enough. But applying an avg. to something that is based on luck is impossible. You know it yourself. Some people will avg. 1 whip per task, other will avg. 1.4 per task and then there are those who will avg. 0.7 per task. Maybe it's a bit harder to make 700m now than it was a year ago (due to everything dropping a bit), but i did not say "i made 700m and so will you". I just used it as an example to show that Slayer IS actually a good money maker.

 

Er, no. Luck is based off probabilities, so over time it will/should average out to the same number. The key is simply taking a large enough sample size.

 

Keep in mind that these averages are made up from multiple players' results. Meaning that person x had an avgerage of 1 whip per task and person y had an average of 2 whips per task. This would give us an overall average of 1.5 whips per task. But this doesnt mean that person x and y made the same ammount of money on their way to 99 Slayer. That just means person w can expect to get ~1.5 whips per task.

That may be true but when we are talking about a numbers as big as 99 slayer it will even out for most people or be very close. So more like person X got 1.4 per task person Y got 1.3. So the money difference will be very marginal.

Just happy someone actually understood what i was trying to say. It was about 2am when i wrote that, haven't slept in nearly 2 days and feared that i might not have made sense.

Anyway no use arguing about something i have no proof about.

that's not what average means

Second quote should not have been there, i don't know why i even added that part. But as for the rest of it, how is that not an average?

[Bladewing]

the second quote was what i was specifically responding to.

 

anyway the drop rate is EXACTLY 1:512, as explicitly given by jagex.
