Frosts and Bursting Questions


Lacoste

Recommended Posts

Hey at the moment I am trying to get to 85 dungeoneering so I can unlock frost dragons, I hope to harvest/sell bones so I can do some much needed prayer levels. After reading some guides it seems as though you will profit more with yak, so i figured that should be my first priority, anyways I have some questions, and it would be great if i could get any advice and tips.

 

 

1. Are frost dragons still good money? I have 88 summoning, a rapier, but no turmoil or extremes, will getting a yak help me get more cash per hour, or am I better off just doing it without one and using a tort. I plan on using a cannon.

 

2. About how many charms are needed for 88-96, I figure I might get bored so i will continue to dungeoneer in between bursting trips/while I recharge battle robes.

 

3. I am currently 91 magic, Im sure there is a way to calculate how many levels/exp in total I should gain, and if anyone could either tell me how to calc ( im sure its something easy, just busy with school) or even calculate that for me that would be great as well.

 

Er, thats all that I can think of at the moment, thanks in advance.

Most estimates with a tort provided you have maxed melee or maxed range are between 1.3-2.0 mil per hour. Use a cannon for sure, and yes a yak would help a lot for profit. Im fairly certain though that its still worth going without one until you get one.

 

The other two questions I wont pretend to know the answer to.

1) War tortoise is fine, profit is still awesome.

With decent stats 90+ u will be getting 1.5mil+ profit for sure.

Be sure to use piety and a super set.

To compare i mostly range (elite void + rune crosdbow and broads and i average at 1.2mil with 93 range.)

Melee is definitely better.

 

Can't answer to the other questions.

Tormented demons with unicorn is probably better cash, charms and effigies. They also don't require you to do a LOT of tedious bursting (go with waterfiends by the way). And they don't require you to get turmoil to be effective. Because you really can't melee frosts without soul split (or you'd have to bring a lot of food each trip).

Well, I would love to get into tormented demons, its just that I feel as though getting quest requirements, not to mention finish all the quests I need would take longer then I would like. I only have about 140 quest points, and my biggest goal is to eventually max combat, I just need an effective way fund prayer.

 

If its worthwhile, I guess my new plan would be to get WGS done then?

Yes. If you take frosts at 2m/hr, tds at 2.5m (~25 kills/hr, takes practice but can be done quite well), you'd be at about 75 hours for turmoil with frosts or 60 for tds. Add in about 50% more effigies per hour, more summoning xp as well, and then think of the 400k free prayer xp WGS can get you, not to mention the 450k xp from Blood Runs Deep and the 270k xp from Nomad's Requim. Questing is the way to go :thumbup:.
