Turm or Ovl

[SacredFlam3s]

So, I am nearing in on my goal of 85 herblore for extremes/super antifires/spec restore. now I am wondering whether I should get turmoil or overloads next. I like dks and they will be my main cause of income with frosts if I were to get overloads and I normally solo mage/hybrid now, but cant tribrid as I cant kill them fast enough. Type 123 at the start of your post to prove you read this. I would also get the EEE to replace Soul Split with healingWith overloads I would be able to use brews and then get many more kills at bosses and make the money for turmoil faster, because I will be getting the other after the first, in the period of 5 months roughly.

I like slaying a bit and turmoil+iron titan would work well. However if I were to get turmoil I would not get as big of a bonus whilst bossing and then get less kills/hr.

If someone could post their expeiriences with one or the other and also which tasks turm/ovl would make a bigger differnce.

 

Most general slayer tasks I would say turmoil, but for tasks like steel dragons, miths, Black dragons (i do kbd) and other higher level ones wyverns would work better.

I also do 60% slayer and then probably 40% bossing if that helps, with frosts gonna be 10% from each when i get them.

 

Thanks and sorry its a bit text heavy, I just wanna get the final decision,

Get turm first, then ovls since you already (almost) got extremes.

[The_Gabe]

Turm first, and use extremes to make more money at frosts for overloads.

[SacredFlam3s]

im just making pots atm and whilst waiting for some to buy finishing up the 5 mill i need to get 85 and then have money for extremes.

So turmoil would be more usefull for me as overload is only a small step up from extremes? and if i do dks around 80% of the time i boss hunt (excluding frosts).

and did you read the whole post explaining my predicament?

[SacredFlam3s]

ok, so frosts/slayer for ovl. and a bit of solo maging at dks.

any ideas for 78-95 prayer costs?

[ghjkl]

ovl is more important for dks

[SacredFlam3s]

i can get by on all tasks when i use an iron titan, i just bring ee and super def pots. so with an eee i should be fine.

 

Just can't decide and I dont want to regret the decision, although atm its leaning towards ovl because that will also get me EEE

[Neltak]

Without a doubt ovl is way more useful at DKS. Also solo maging there is awful...I tried it a while back (before I had ovl or turm) and the kills/h were simply no enough. If I recall correctly when I was 2.5 bridding DKS with ovl and piety I was getting ~75 kills/h (with cannon and not counting banking/prep time).

 

But for slayer turmoil and soulsplit are an amazing asset. It all depends on what you prefer, easier bossing or easier slayer.

I don't have titans, OVLs, or turm, but I am farming snaps and using them to train herb at a profit.

Also, I am witholding spendong on bones for turm until I have 85 dung. I can't imagine how fast money will come in from frosts with chaotic rapier. You're a [puncture] for making me say 123. I say, get 85 dung, camp frosts, and then spend the money on whichever you can get faster; be it turm or ovls. Once you have extremes though, I would say go get turm.

123Turmoil increases your melee stats more than ovls do. Decide for yourself what is more important; Slayer/frosts or DKS.

123

 

I'm 80 prayer so not that much higher than you.

From 80 to 95 prayer is 26881 regular dragon bones at ~ 4.7 k ea (rising atm)

This is equal to 10753 frost dragon bones at 15 k ea (also rising atm).

 

Total price for dragon bones is ~130 mil

 

Total price for frost dragon bones ~162 mil.

 

Just in case you haven't done them yet it's worth noting that Blood Runs Deep rewards you with 450 k prayer experience if you choose that as the combat stat reward, the void stares back and the subsequent quest line rewards you with 100 k prayer experience if you choose that as the reward and 50 commendations that can also be spent on prayer, and Nomad's Requim rewards you with 70 zeal which at lvl 78 prayer is 198 k prayer experience.

 

Good luck on whichever you decide to do.

As has been said, overload for DKS, turmoil for slayer. Overload is nice on slayer tasks but really unneccesary. Ideally, get both of course, but since DKS are far better money than slayer, I'd get ovl first.

This. But because you'll be solo-maging DKs (which is not good for money at all, but whatever), I'd actually say that you should get turmoil first. You wouldn't be using the overloads to their full effect, so what would be the point?

 

Also, asking people to put arbitrary numbers in their posts to prove that they read your original post is [developmentally delayed]ed, stop it.

Obtaurian doesn't explicitly say it, but I will: don't solo mage, at least hybrid or even better, 2.5 brid with cannon (at least do your dagganoth tasks hybriding).

[SirIzenhime]

solo mage rex isn't bad money, it was around 2m an hour when I used to do it at a lower level (and that was with COG+uni, not on task)

Yes hy/tri-briding is better, but that doesn't make maging bad money.

Looking at his stats though, he shouldn't have trouble tribriding at all, so it must just be a bit of skill factor if he's been unable to do it :unsure:

 

As for the question. Turmoil is a bigger jump from Piety then Ovl is from Extremes, turmoil is better for more things then ovl is. However, DKs is not one of those. DKs is one of the places where OVL benefit you so heavily that, if you really plan to do it A LOT, then Ovl would be much better then turmoil to get first

[PereGrin]

Well, if you are going to be killing frost dragons some for money for turmoil, why not just kill frost dragons for bones for turmoil? You would need like ~11k or so, right?

[SacredFlam3s]

If I would be getting ovl, i would 2.5 or hybrid, just solo maging now as ranging atm takes up to 2 minutes -.-

and I find slayer quite easy atm, with a whip i can do 220 dusties in 35 mins, 180 fires in 40 (chaos tunnel with iron titan) and i never have to bank. With rapier this will be ever easier

and frosties for bones sounds like a better choice.

im gonna go with overloads and thanks everyone for help.

And ovl would also be cheaper as I only need 85-91
