TDs worth it without SS/turm?


muuuuuuuuuu

Recommended Posts

I've been killing frost dragons for a while aiming to make enough to get 96 prayer. Started at 83 prayer, currently 89, and I'm getting bored.

 

Is it worth killing TDs without Soul Split, or will the lack of healing demand a unicorn and thus slow down the trips due to no iron titan?

 

My stats are 95/95/95 atk/def/str 99 hp 97 mage 94 range 89 prayer 96 summ.

 

Thanks in advance!

It's more fun in my opinion, though it will be slower then frost dragons.

 

Iron titan doesn't speed up kills, steel titan does. You would want to use a unicorn, however I guess the iron titan doesn't hurt if you already are very good at prayer swapping and don't take much damage.

 

It might be a nice way to mix it up, to do TDS until you get claws then switch back to Frost Dragons. I warn you that claws are crashing though and that could effect the profitability of TDS.

PM me in game anytime

 

It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

 

That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.

You don't need SS or any titan to kill TD's effectively. A unicorn and piety will do just fine. Iron titan would be a bad choice, seeing as it hits with melee, and a lot of your damage dealt should come from your own melee weapon.

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

If you are very good at switching you're using a steel and ss flashing as well, reducing food consumption to a minimum. But yeah, w/o turmoil you can at least use eagle eye or rigour which helps a bit, and a unicorn should basically be all the healing you need (perhaps an emergency brew).

So it seems being good at prayer switching is what helps a lot. Guess I need (a lot) more practice at that.

 

And I hadn't considered DKs, but either until my brother is good enough to mage Rex or I can find someone to go with me as I'm not sure solo tribridding would work for me.

2.5bridding is easy. Check out Squareroot's guide in the AOW (or is it in general guides?).

Oh wow! This is much nicer than trying to kill Prime+Supreme, thanks for pointing it out!

 

2 D Hatchets so far. I'm not getting as many kills/hr as the guide suggests atm, but I suppose that will increase as I get more experience with the DKs.
