Charms for 69-88 summoning

[That_Brown_Kid]

Hey guys I was wondering about the charms for 69-88 summoning.

 

In just crimson, it's like 11k crimson...

 

I projected these numbers:

 

7500 Crimson

4000 gold

3500 green

350 blues.

 

This is all from bursting Rock Lobsters.

 

So far, on day one, I've bursted 900 crimsons.

 

I am not sure of what the average ratio is for charms (Crimson:gold:green:blue?). I know crimsons are the most common in rock lobsters and golds are usually half of that with greens being near the amount of golds while blues are usually randomly dropped i guess.

 

I calculated that the aforementioned charm count will get me the 3.7m xp required for 88 summoning. This equates to 15.5m in lost shards and unknown losses in 2nds.

 

Using battle robes, I'm getting these charms at a rate of about 1600-2000 gp per crimson (I'm only charging for the crimson because I'm reasoning that if I acquire 7500 crimsons, 4k gold, 3.5k green, and 350 blue will also result), so I'm estimating that I'll spend 15m total bursting with battle robe usage (Around 30,000 Bursts?) leaving me with 25m to squander on 2nds.

 

Does my math seem correct?

 

Should I barrage at all (if I make 700-1.1m/h should I barrage)?

 

If the charm numbers don't seem correct, could you correct me?

 

(P.S. If you have 88 summoning, how has the Unicorn familiar changed your monster hunting/gameplay? Are bosses easier to do now? or what?)

Are those numbers based on the same ratio's I gave you the other day?

 

Calculations and proof from my notepad for the TLDR down the bottom

 

 

For costs for Barrage.

 

Rune Costs Today

 

[blood Rune: 365 * 2]

[Death Rune 327 * 4]

[Water Rune: 29 * 6]

 

1000 Barrage = (2142gp) *.50 (50% Rune Save) = 1.07M in COST per 2 Hours.

 

+ 20% Chance of saving ~350gp (avg death/blood) per cast.= ~70gp per cast (included in above barrage sum)

 

Recharge Robes = 1.5Hrs of FOG (F2p world) every 8 Hours of Combat.

Per Battle Robes you save - 4.3M in Cost.

 

Thus if your income is < 2.8M an hour you should use Battle Robes.

 

1000 Barrages will typically give you

 

~370 Crimsons (treat the other runes as "free")

 

Cost per Crimson = 2890 gp

 

 

For Burst:

 

[Chaos Rune: 51 * 4]

[Death Rune 327 * 2]

[Water Rune: 29 * 6]

 

1000 Burst = (1000) *.50 (50% Rune Save) = 500k in COST per 2 Hours.

 

+ 20% Chance of saving ~189gp (avg death/chaos) per cast.= ~37gp per cast (included in above sum)

 

Recharge Robes = 1.5Hrs of FOG (F2p world) every 8 Hours of Combat.

 

Per Battle Robes you save - 2M in Cost.

 

Thus if your income is < 1.5M an hour you should use Battle Robes.

 

 

1000 Bursts will give you ~ 270 Crimsons

 

Cost per Crimson = 1850gp

 

 

 

 

Barrage Vs Burst w/ Robes

Total cost for 7500 Crimson for Barrage:

 

20,000 Barrages Required = 21.5m (With Robes)

40 Hours

5 Battle Robes Recharges (7.5 Hours)

 

Total Time & Cost

47.5 Hours

21.5m

 

 

Total cost for 7500 Crimson for Burst

 

27,000 Burst Required = 13.5M

54 Hours

7 Battle Robes Recharges (10.5 Hours)

 

Total Time & Cost

64.5 Hours

13.5M

 

Cost Difference:

21.5M - 13.5M = 8M

 

Time Difference: 64.5 - 47.5 = 17 Hours

Cost Vs Time = 8 Million gp / 17 Hours = 470,000

 

You would need to earn LESS than 500k an hour to Burst over Barrage assuming you use Battle Robes.

(And yes I'm going to copy paste this for every rock lob question from now on lol)

Thanks so much Vex!!!

 

I calculated 15m for the 2nds and 17m for the shards just now. I estimate 19-20m left for barraging. therefore i will have to pay around 52m... basically my whole bank for the unicorn. Maybe i'll do half barrage and half burst because I need some cash for gear . <_<

[manitstinks]

Or make some money and barrage all? Mage slay certain tasks and you might even profit

As for the unicorn: it has changed my tding, as I don't need food or brews anymore. Otherwise I take it out when exploring some updates (hati wolf, where it turned out to be useless :P).
