Barraging rock lobsters

[The_Gabe]

Well I need 96 summon and I need 99 defence. I've decided I want to barrage some rock lobbies. I need amount of charms per 1k barrages and the best gear to use. Thank you.

[Ankit]

Battle robes/Ahrims

Fury > Glory

Staff of Light

Mage Book/Tome of Frost > Unholy Book

Seers Ring/ROL(emergency)

Infinity Boots > Mystic

Barrows Gloves

 

with battle robes close to 600-700 crimsons, without 250-350.

And a mitre for your helm slot. If you go ahrims. Have fun I am there again right now got charms from 88-96 there. Then got some threw slayer now just using up some deaths for mage exp and a few more charms.

Use a ROL, always use a ROL. If you step out without prayer, chances are that if all nine lobs are alive you will go from max HP to critical before you can react. Because lobs hit every 1.8 seconds and because you'd have nine of the [bleep]ers on you and they are pretty inaccurate, there is a good chance your ROL would save you.

 

Also, use burstinglobs CC to get in and also have it in mind in case you need a bless. If you beg and say that you lost a lot, chances are someone will hop to bless you.

 

 

 

Anyway:

 

*these items I'll explain later

 

Battle robes > Ahrims* > Mystic

God Cape > SW cape*

Fury=Arcane Surge Necklace*

SOL > Ancient Staff

Mage book > Arcane Spirit Shield* > Zammy book > Tome of Frost*

Ring of Life

Infinity Boots > Mystic Boots

Barrow Gloves

 

 

In inv:

 

Proslyte Plate

Proslyte Legs

God Mitre (highest prayer bonus in the game)

SW cape

God Stole if you want, just more items to switch every lure

Runes for Blood Barrage + Ice Barrage

EEE (I carry it just because)

Holy Wrench (I carry it because I rarely ever complete a full trip's worth of pray pots)

Pray pots

*Ahrims: If you wear Ahrims instead of Battle Robes, just wear the Mitre as a permanent headgear. It has a decent magic bonus.

 

*I recommend that you bring both the God Cape and the SW cape, although it's up to you depending on how much switching you want to do.

 

*Magic damage boost only applies to one monster, so while the ASN would be useful in finishing off that last pesky lobster, it's somewhat unnecessary. If you do bring the ASN, I recommend you bring a stole for luring. I personally just use a Fury, since it provides extra magic defense while luring and that helps protect me from the Wallisakis.

 

*Tome of Frost's rune-saving ability is deceptive. The 43k tokens it costs could be used for 4.3m GP in chaotic item repairs, so it's up to you if you think you'll consume more than 4.3m gp in water runes. Otherwise, I'd recommend you use a Mage's Book or Zamorak Book. I recommend a Mage's Book over an Arcane SS because it's not worth spending that much GP on a marginal magic attack boost, and the Arcane is crashing hard so you'll end up losing millions by the time you resell it, where as you will probably still lose a little on the Mage Book but not NEARLY as much.

Just use unholy book, otherwise what Dragonlordjl said.. Also, it's Arcane Stream Necklace :P

Whoops. :unsure: Knew it started with an 'S' lol. Yeah, it's almost 2 am and my brain is misfiring.

Switching is mainly to stop battle robes from degrading during lures as they take a long time to recharge.

 

You don't need to switch all your gear every lure if you use ahrims. There isn't a point as prayer has diminishing returns, so as long as your main setup has a 25+ prayer bonus you should easily have enough. Also since they have low mage defense you don't really need more then 100+ mage bonus. It's not hard to find a build that fulfills both of these. Ahrims top + bottem, SoL, Mitre, unholy book, infinity boots, arcane stream (or fury) should give you enough bonuses to use a tiny amount of prayer per lure and still have high enough mage bonuses to be as accurate as you can.

 

ASN is worth it because it is assumed you will use it later for any other combat magic. It does provide more dps then fury so theres no reason not to use it.

 

Tome of frost is better valued in terms of time/money saved. Look at the total cost of the water runes you will be using. Then take that cost and the time spent to get 43k tokens. If you could make more then that amount of money instead of that time dungoneering then it is better to buy the waer runes.

 

4.3m is deceptive. The real cost, is dependent on both your income and your ability to gain dungoneering tokens. For a person with 100+ dung, they can gain tokens at a fast enough rate that if they were to save enough runes with it, because they plan to burst/barrage from level 80-99, it would be worth it. For the person who takes 10 hours to get it and has an income of 2m/h it really costs them 20m which can then be compared to the runes they are saving to see if it's worth it.
