Alright, so 99 Ranged.

[DiscoShazam]

Okay, so I want to spend 25M on 99 Ranged.

I don't have void. I want to chin and all that jazz.

 

The question is, well, with 25M and no void, what level should I start at?

 

Also, if you have calcs and stuff for chinning, that'd be helpful, too. :thumbup:

First, start by getting void. If you haven't done the void quests then now is a good time to do them as they will give you the top and some of the points for another piece of the set.

 

Then you can start at the level you are at with chinning, really waiting longer won't make a big difference.

 

Use your best range boosting prayer, range/extreme range potions, void, ect and chinn under ape atoll.

 

You will get approximately 421 exp/red chin and 316 exp/grey chin.

 

The first part of this guide is a decent, yet outdated, guide to ape atoll chinning. It has some calcs and forumlas you can use to find out the approximate costs or number of chins you will need.

I heard about chinning in the ct, is that any good?

 

and at 86 Ranged, I can get to 99 with 25M? o:

[Nifflin]

No, people go there because they think the drops will pay for the chins. In fact, the exp is slower so chinning ends up costing even more. Ape atoll is the very best, I strongly suggest you use it.

Alright, good to know. :3

 

Thanks. o:

 

and if anyone else has any statistics and calculators to see how many potions and chins i'll need, that would be much appreciated. :grin:

[Nifflin]

Doing the math now..

 

So far a bit over 48k grey chins to 99.

Or

37k red chins.

 

Which works out to (using mid price)

10.7m using grey chins

Or

21.5m using red chins

 

Also a note, I used the numbers from his guide, but you should be able to get even better exp rates if you use new gear. This means void + deflector + arma top, soul wars cape, rigour. If you use all the best gear then you should have even better rates.

 

Oh, and I didn't factor in costs of gear, prayer pots or ranged pots. But if you get full void, deflector, black dhide top, fury, rol, soul wars cape, snakeskin boots, the gear should be cheap. A familiar can give you up to 20k exp per trip as well. And bring a few, maybe two or three range potions or extreme range potions. Uhhh and holy wrench if you have it will save you some money on prayer potions.

 

You will also have a highish prayer bonus, you should need less then 1k prayer potions, just sell off the ones you don't use when you're done.

[DiscoShazam]

So, in other words, 21.5M + 300 or so ranging potions + 1k prayer potions will be the cost?

Use grey chins. I forgot what the needed gp/hr needs to be to make it worth it to use red chins, but it was in the 1-2M/hr range.

Which is ridiculously easy to make, red chins are more efficient in this scenario, I just gave the grey chins as well in case he's the type that will be more attracted to the cheaper methods.

 

I don't know the costs of prayer potions or range potions, it's not like you will buy too many, you can always sell them back, also if you buy too few you can always buy more.

[DiscoShazam]

Seeing as I have 25M and all of it will cost me 29M with the red chinchompas, I want to go with the greys.

 

It will probably cost me 20M maximum, leaving me with some money left over, which is better than 29M and leaving me with no money left.

 

So greys it is.

Wait until hati wolf gloves come out, hopefully they will work with range/magic. Knowing jagex I wouldn't be suprised if they were melée only though.

If he was going to wait for the gloves, he should at least buy the supplies first as they are probably going to skyrocket if the gloves come out and work with range.
