eyeye Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So to get 85 herblore i'd love to do something with less than 15 gp/exp, 20 at the most. The thing is, i was planning on doing avantoes to super energies, which would save me loads and loads of money, as i could do spec restores for virturally nothing, since i have tons of papaya from farming. Should i: Buy for like 4k each (it would literally destroy me) - but i'd get 85 ish quickly do like 10k super attacks, then buy the energies and make spec restores cry and spin around in circles until the game stops hitting me in the face ???????

Quyneax Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Don't do serums, they take a bank slot (unless you drop them). Don't do the very slow pots. Don't be cheap, if you're not buying at apparent prices you shouldn't be surprised you're not getting any.

I did that and i still wound up with 5k spec rests that ill never be able to use up. [hide=Siggy credits]The Awesome, Epic, Amazing, S3xah A-10 Sig By Unolexi!

Quyneax Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Golvellius is here with bad advice again... Untradeable pots can be cheaper than tradeables, in which case they are obviously superior. If they are more expensive, you can calculate the effective value of the potion. Say super attack is 10 gp/xp and special recover 15. Special recovers are 200 xp each so 200*5 (the gp/xp difference) = 1k. If you value a spec recover (3) at 1k or more you should do them because they are cheaper to you than super attacks. Finally, time is also an issue. If you make 1m/hr (and 2k pots per hour), you'll get 200k xp/hr making super attacks at a cost of 2m, which is two more hours (total 3 hrs for 200k xp). With special recovers you'd do half an hour of pot making at a cost of 3m, which is 3 more hours of moneymaking. Assuming you don't value the recovers at all, super attacks are better. However if you valued them at 500 gp each, the cost becomes 2.5m which is 2.5 hrs of moneymaking, which would make special recovers as good as super attacks.

aspeeder Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I had ~1.8k or so super rests after I was done with herb.Still have 800. Don't make immense stocks of them as it'll take you quite a while to use them all.I have about 3k stored up, but they're a fun little pot and I'd recommend making ~1k if you think you'd use them in your monster killing. Untradables are also useful to train with as you'll incur the cost of training and making ovl ingredients at once instead of twice over if you had made and sold tradable pots. That's more for future use but don't discount untradables, especially because you're going to want to use some of them. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
