Shopping Time.

Well i had a bit of luck at Arma earlier and walked away with a ~29m Hilt split. I have about 42m Cashpile now but i have really no idea what i am to use it on. I already have all the Slayer and GWD equipment i need (Karil Top + Skirt, Zammy Spear, Fury, Berserker Ring (i), Dragon Boots, Full Slayer Helm, Verac Skirt, Proselyte, SoL, Infinty Boots, Dragon Defender, Whip, Verac Helm, Blessed Spirit Shield).

I have basically all the essentials needed for everyday skilling. I am currently working my way towards 92 FM to get an Adze meaning i wont have to spend money on a Pick or a Hatchet which basically eliminates the cost of either of those two objects.

 

I have been away from RS for a while and i'm not really up to date with the things that have come out the past year, so i might not know of certain items that might make skilling easier/faster. Are there any such items that i could use the money on?

Otherwise, seeing as i enjoy both Arma and Zammy GWD, would upgrading from Karil to Arma be a worthy investment? Is there perhaps anything else i could buy?

 

I do not intend to raise Prayer now, so no need to suggest that. Also i do not intend to Cannon the remainder of my Slayer goal, so also no need to suggest that.

 

Thanks in advance!

Armdayl is good for ranging, sure worth it for Armadyl gwd, but don't try using it on Kril, as the lost offence (-7 melees on the top alone) isn't worth it. You could perhaps get Bandos for slaying or arcane for magic mayhem, or spectral if you like will be getting more hilts soon. I think though that getting Armadyl plate and skirt would be a better option in that regard, but still.

Flip.

I really have no need for more money. I see no point of having it really. Only reason i GWD is for the fun of it. Every other skill i intend to train will somehow pay for another skill. So seeing as my skills pay for themselves i really need no money. Did that sound like Mojo Jojo?

Anyway, i just need advice on what to spend on that will help me a bit, not really to help me make more money.

An Adze is only the equivalent of a Rune pick, but is the same as a Dragon Axe. So you will still need a D-Pick if you are planning on doing any serious mining.

[Noxx]

Is there really such a significant difference between Rune and Dragon Pick?

[Quyneax]

Over, say, 90-99 mining it's bound to save you several hours, as it's around 10% faster mining (I hear, estimate).

Dragon pickaxe is a fine choice. I found that superheat/mining gold multitask is a lot more fun with gold ores coming in faster.

Maybe also spend some money on fletching to do whilst slaying...Or you could buy some seeds to speed up to 85 farming :)

 

Funny how you go a 29m hilt-split today. Happened to me as well :thumbsup:

Oh really? How weird is that? Yeah i heard the guy that provided you with that 29m split is like really awesome.

But anyway i suppose i shall get the Pick then.

Also about the Fletching, i think that i am going to give that a go. I should probably start buying the supplies now if i plan on doing Slayer again in 10 - 12 days?

You can buy max 10k suplies every 4 hours. Which means:

60k suplies a day. 60k suplies is 300k fletch exp.

if you want 99 fletch, it's best to start buying some suplies yes. I'm able to burn through 200k suplies on an average day when slaying.

 

Just some food for thought. :grin: :wink:

You have bandos? That'd be a good choice

[Hedgehog]

Pro tip: Don't buy bandos. Instead, use the money to piety/turm your tasks. You'll benefit exponentially more.

How about turmoiling AND bandos. It's not like turmoil costs 20m+ or anything (to use).

Ya, but he kinda doesn't have turm yet.

[Quyneax]

Yes he does.

[ghjkl]

Bandos doesnt cost money to use. Praying does, when will people understand this. I would spend on bandos and then spend the rest on extreme/prayer potions.

[Bladewing]

you have 95 prayer and 99 herblore, so you're set there. the only way to improve your combat ability now is gear. so your options are bandos and armadyl.

 

bandos - best armor for slaying

armadyl - best armor for armadyl

 

your choice

[ghjkl]

I assume this guy is teaming arma based on him getting a split. In that case, despite the horrible profitability of team arma compared to solo, for teaming the best option is void and hand cannon, not arma gear.

[Bladewing]

you still need arma chestplate, though.

[ghjkl]

I guess for kc, but you can use arma ammy. With hand cannon you cant use chest and deflector

Void doesn't go too well with duo's. We prefer staying for as long as possible, not leave as soon as possible.

I bought Arma, Guthans and Dharoks. The Arma is for Duo/Solo Arma as well as any task i choose to Range in the future (i can also use the Chest for DK's). The Guthan's is for Barrows and Maging Rex. The the DH i use on tasks like Metal lDragons and Black Demons, Black Dragons (when i don't KBD), LRC, etc. This is just to make things a bit more fun for me.

Then i have bought Magic Logs enough for 92 FM (using the Penance Horn). Then i really did think about not buying any of these items and rather just spending it all on Bandos, but i can't justify the cost vs. usability. Bandos i will use for 1 thing only, Slayer. Slayer is a skill i like to take my time on. So buying Bandos to "speed things up" will be quite the opposite of what i wish to do.

 

Oh also, i did a Zammy trip again yesterday with a friend. Despite the lack of attack bonus, Arma does work great there. K'ril hit me with his Mage attack maybe once every thirteen or fourteen times, which ended up saving me a lot of food and ending up in a much longer trip.

 

So looking at what i have bought, what can be replaced or added?

[Bladewing]

you don't need guthans for maging rex if you are 92 prayer.

 

got an archer ring already?

[Noxx]

Oh the Guthan's is more just for the defensive aspect actually. Is there something better to use?

And yeah, i have Archer (i). Should i also invest in Seer(i) maybe?

And then i am yet to do the quests/minigames for Deflector and Elite Void, but once i have these objects, what do they replace?

[Quyneax]

Void replaces proselyte in off-task combat, as well as karil's (legs) on wfs tasks (+4 prayer for +5 magic defence). The deflector replaces the defender on low-defence off-task monsters (barrows gloves) or the void top when ranging (use acp).
