what shoul i use my dragonkin lamps on?

Featured Replies

okay so i have 42 effigies in my bank, which is very nice

 

i can pot to all 97 stat apart from sum / rc

 

im currently 90 summoning with sups for 93 summoning

 

im only asking for either using on slayer or summoning

 

i was saving them all to use on summoning after 99 slayer so i can get 96+ for yak

 

now heres the thing

 

i am currently 300k xp off 98 slayer and i have more than enough effigies to get 99 slayer (which i desperately want)

 

which leaves me not getting 96 summoning through slayer / effigies

 

but temptation is horrible haha

 

what should i do? get 93 summoning and use the lamps on slayer so i can get 99 then use rest on summoning, and then camp for 96 summoning at waterfiends with chaotic maul

 

or wait till i have done 99 slayer and get 96 off that and use lamps for 96+

 

 

which is more efficient?

 

using lamps on slayer or summoning?

 

the time saved using on slayer is approx 2 weeks

 

but im not too sure if its better to use on summoning

 

 

if i used on slayer how long will it take to get supplies for 93-96 summoning camping at waterfiends (as im already way over 99 magic dont really want to burst lobs)

 

as all i want is 99 slayer 96 summoning

 

 

remember i have 42 effigies i have over 400k xp left after 99 slayer (if i dont get 95 97 sum effigies)

Firstly, i myself find it a waste to use Effigies on skills that are easy to train (such as Slayer and Summoning). Secondly, using the Effigies on 99 Slayer, you deny yourself from any other Effigies you could have gained on your way to 99 Slayer (assuming you take a break after reaching 99 Slayer) as well as a large sum of money.

Personally i would see it much the wiser to use your Effigies on Runecrafting instead of either Slayer or Summoning. 98 - 99 Slayer should give you enough charms to get close to 96 Summoning and enough money to Barrage to 96 Summoning (or CT Waterfiends in your case).

 

But if i had to give you an answer you were looking for... I'd much rather use the Effigies on Summoning. Slayer is not a very tedious skill as there is much variation in what you kill. Camping at Waterfiends on the other hand is very tedious. It's a lot harder than it sounds (having tried them myself).

So yeah, long story short. Using Effigies on either of those two skills might be a bit of a waste.

my original plan was to use all on summoning but now i could get 99 slayer pretty quickly it is tempting as ive been slaying for a while

 

i dont see problem in using in summoning as to get charms cheaply is long

 

 

and 98-99 slayer i doubt ill get enough charms for 96 i will have to use a few of my effigies on summ to get it

 

93- now has only gotten me 86 -93 summoning

 

and i do know efficiently using on runecrafting is better

 

but all skills i enjoy training and are rather high (apart from rc) which means i wont get much xp in rc anyway and i will probably do zmi / graahk for 99 rc if i ever get that far

 

96 summoning

99 slayer

99 slayer will take me a 2 weeks from now

and yes i do enjoy slaying and i will get a fair few more effigie / money doing it but all i want for now is 96 sum

-implying OP doesn't power slay

-implying RC has benefits to training it

 

get 93 summoning, camp WFs until you have enough charms for atleast 95 summoning, then use the effigies on slay. It saves the most time.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

between those two, I would use them on summoning as a yak will help you train slayer. But I think you would be better off using it on prayer and just keep slaying to get to 99 while collecting the charms which should get you higher summoning. I wouldnt use lamps on slayer as you would be losing money cause slaying is a money maker, and I wouldnt use it on slayer cause once you have the charms it is fast exp.

why do all these people think slayer is a money maker :unsure:

its like 500k p/h even if you don't cannon/piety.

if it does save most time then that is what i will do

 

as he says 99 slayer will bring in more money but i can camp frosts in a few days ill make more than what i would of slaying

 

thanks for input

using on prayer imo is pointless as it says in this post i can camp frosts in a few days ill get a few levels i prayer sing frost bones

 

and with yak ill be able to get even more

 

 

why do all these people think slayer is a money maker :unsure:

its like 500k p/h even if you don't cannon/piety.

 

yeah i know ive not made much much form slaying anyways my luck for drops isnt very good haha

 

ive made roughly 60m from 93

can do that in a week if money was on my mind

tenebri.png

I would get that summoning level to open your effigies at least, then (or before that) slay to 99, using the charms to perhaps get 94. Then obtain charms to 95 summoning and do open the effigies at those stages, then go back to ct fiends to get 97, open those stages. Use all lamps on runecrafting, but if you can stand it at all, get ~86, stew for Karamja elite and use all elite diary rewards on rc first.

 

Taking in mind that you want to max total eventually.

Getting a Yak is a game changer, if you care about nothing else other than Slayer & Summoning. Use your charms & get to 93, then use your effigies to 95 and a bit.

 

Now use your newly acquired Iron Titan @ Waterfiends CT's, make sure you do familiarisation if you haven't done it for the week. Mix it up with Black Demons in the resource dungeon if you want some more afk type charms(half the speed in crimsons, but zero effort) & increased effigies.

 

You'll need 4-500k xp worth of crimsons/charms to finish to 96.

 

Get the charms for a Yak.

 

Use Yak & Powerslay from 98-99, & enjoy the experience, you'll bring in a lot more cash with the Yak.

 

I don't recommend you use your effigies on Slayer since it's probably inevitable you'd do some after 99 anyway at some point in the future. However having a Pack-Yak makes Slayer a much more enjoyable experience & does in fact boost the cash per hr of the skill (depending on your list)

why do all these people think slayer is a money maker :unsure:

Last time i checked 500k/h was still money, or am i missing the plot :roll:

 

Also, by my first post i was not implying anything. Wether or not he powerslays would not change my answer. Wether or not RC has benefits would not change my answer.

runecrafting or fishing

 

both slayer and summoning are horrible uses

I think even farming would be a good choice. Unless you prefer profit over speed.

if you don't care about total level, there is no benefits to using effigies on rc.

if you power slay you don't profit from slayer, nullifying the profit factor.

 

@the OP

another good choice for training summoning would be to cannon black demons if you have the money. Its ~110 crimsons per hour+1 effigy every hour and a half (equivalent to 62 additional crimsons per hour @90 summoning).

already 99 fishing

 

and rc i dont care much for

 

summoning is still a slow skill unless you burst lobsters which drains money alot and im 18m xp in mage dont really need more as im not going 200m all skills

 

all i want is 99 slay 96 sum asap

 

what i asked for not for what is best in all rs efficiency as im not big on efficiency i play for fun not for ranks or total

its negligible.

okay so ive done some thinking, and ill jjust lay out baysicaly everything

 

 

 

waiting after 99 slayer using no lamps will probably be on the 26th of january, ill have a few more charms probably enough for 94 95 and also a few more effigies, which should get me 96 or 97 summoning and finishing on the 27th of january

 

 

 

if i use on slayer

 

ill have 9 effigies left so i can use them on summoning and then camp for 96 sum,

 

and incuding a average amount of xp i should get from using summoning effigies is aout 400k xp + the 9 extra lamps = 800k xp in sum too putting my summoning to 95 (i think tell me if im wrong, from 93)

 

and then camping for more charms will take a few days making it end before the 27th of january i believe

 

tell me if im wrong however

tenebri.png

Don't forget elite task rewards. You could get 200k xp once you get 93 summoning from Ardy Elite, and any others you haven't done yet.

 

You could train slayer normally until like 1m to level 99, probably getting 5 more effigies and getting 94-95 summ banked in the process. Use 21 effigies to max out slayer, then use whatever charms and elite lamps you have on summoning. Then your remaining 26 effigies will get you 96 summ.

 

That's assuming you don't care about 99 summ. If you did, then you should train slayer normally all the way.

oh yes i forgot about elite ardy

all i need for that is 93 sum

 

and yeah i was thinking of doing that

 

and i think that is a very good plan

 

however still open to other suggestions :P

tenebri.png

I used to use mine on herlore because it's an expensive skill

 

Now I personally use them on Runecrafting, to save me time if I ever decide to train it in the future.

 

Between Slayer and summoning, I'd use them on summoning because you'd get a few more effigies from slayer, get some charms, and (depending how you train it) make some decent money.

I also personally love slayer, so I wouldn't want to end it sooner :P

Answered your own question imo

 

 

i am currently 300k xp off 98 slayer and i have more than enough effigies to get 99 slayer (which i desperately want)

 

Go with what you want the most, 99 slayer is hella nice

yes.png
which is more efficient?

 

using lamps on slayer or summoning?

 

what i asked for not for what is best in all rs efficiency as im not big on efficiency i play for fun not for ranks or total

 

wat

 

if you don't want advice, you came to the wrong place. i fail to see how choosing "use xp on summoning" could be any more or less fun than "use xp on slayer". also, how are any of us supposed to tell you which is more fun for you?

How should we answer, if you do not care about efficiency?

If neither option (slayer/summon) are good, and you only want to do those two skills, which attributes should we choose in deciding which you should use those effigies on? We can't know. No fun factor can be seen.

Seriously though, higher summoning level has an use, whereas higher slayer level does not. Usage wise, summoning gives more.

 

I still would use on RC.
