Staking stats?

[Andy]

Seeing as staking is (hopefully) coming back, what are some examples of low level staker's stats? I was thinking 80 attack with low str and low combat, for chaotics.

What are your ideas?

1 1 40 for f2p.

 

mage staker for p2p or somthing like a 70 1 70 build. you can train your str a bit higher if you want

 

im not sure how chaotics would be but if you can hit through builds with defence (and dont get speced out by lower att higher str pures) it might work well

In a nutshell, staking really wasn't about stats or skill. It was about knowing how much to stake and when-- the person with the bigger wallet always had the advantage. People who could trick you into "doubling" (or more) their stakes always made quick money off impatient people who gave in to their demands.

 

The only skill-based staking style was probably mage boxing with obstacles on. It actually required skill to trap your opponent onto specific squares and then freeze them and attack them safely w/o being attacked by them

 

Mage boxing w/o obstacles required some skill too-- knowing which pieces of equipment to allow depending on your opponent, and knowing which spells to use at which time.

 

Keep in mind that your opponents aren't stupid. If they see that you have 80 attack and dungeoneering, they won't stake you unless they have the same stats/equipment (and a bigger wallet). The people who staked to get rich quick and made accounts purely for staking were ironically the easiest wins for me lol

Is combat 113 low enough for you?

These used to be my staker stats back in the day :twisted:

maxed. staking usually wasn't about stats and more about the details- hitting first and using your specs well. I doubt real skill staking will become very popular.

summoning tank. Good luck getting to people to let you have summoning on though :P

The most important thing about staking was that there were VERY few popular ways of doing it, so even if you can make an account that can beat everyone standing on your head licking your toes, it'd be useless as everyone would only fight standing up with boxing gloves. The only three very popular ways of staking used to be melee boxing, melee 1 item wep with specs and mage 1 item staking. All of these could make you billions, with any other method only used if both of the people felt good about it and had experience in them.

I bolded the part you either missed, or ignored.

I wasn't really completely answering your post, just general important things about staking. Your post really didn't have any content anyway.

He asked for low level stakers, summoning tanks are just that...if you can sneak in the Summoning on rule.

 

You're right about there being basically 3 main ways of staking...however...those are high levels who do it that way. Back before the limits were made and staking was going on, people level 60 and below had very few rules, most of them only did rules like no food, prayer and potions. Low level stakers used all combat types, and had most armor on. A summoning tank would be perfect for low level staking if you can get summoning on.

There is really no way to know and thus suggest this. Don't forget, we didn't have summoning when people staked. Low level staking wasn't very popular or profitable, with the only exception being low level vs. maxed staking.
