ss>turm>ext/ovls?

[That_Brown_Kid]

I know i've posted here about ss/turm before, but I have some more q's

 

im sitting on a 123m bank

 

5.8m to 92, 8m to 95.

 

at 20 gp/exp. 92 will cost me 116m while 95 will cost 160m.

 

450k from blood runs deep (WGS is simply too far away quest-wise for me to complete) will save 9m.

 

I have heard people say SS is useless without turmoil?

 

What should I invest in (in order of priority)

 

My current idea is

 

SS first

Turmoil next?

Extremes/Overloads

 

 

Is SS worth breaking the bank for?

 

I could probably solo rex for a long time to earn cash for 92-95 prayer since I'll have a prayer that'll heal me (i don't have a unicorn and a bunyip really won't suffice?)

 

Thank you!

Don't get SS without getting turmoil. The general order I suggest is getting 85 herblore first to pot to extremes, and then get turmoil, and then finish up with 92 herblore for overloads. However, since you have the money for either ovls or turmoil, you might as well go all out. If what you do is boss hunting, then I would suggest overloads since you can brew up without having stats drop. If you want to train your melees to max, then I suggest turmoil as it also gives you the ability to use SS to heal on the fly.

I dont have nearly enough for turmoil. im about 40m shy.

and I don't have enough for overloads? (isn't greenman (m) +2 boost only? or does the +4 for ovls come from stewing?)

 

I enjoy castle warring and pvping a lot (i dont pk though). Monster hunting is only done for getting the money to carry on these activities and make it more entertaining (such is the story for many people).

 

If prayer drops to 15 gp/xp with this update (probably won't though), then i'm spraying all my cash on 95 pray.

This. Extremes are a significant advantage and not THAT expensive relative to the other levels. SS is useless without turmoil and both are too expensive to be worth getting before extremes. Overloads are another tier above that.

Ext > turm > ovl

 

Never get ss if you can't get turm

[That_Brown_Kid]

okay now im at 126m bank

 

really I should get 85 for exts?

 

I was really thinking that turmoil would be tight to have.

 

I've decided that if I'm gonna invest in pray it'll be all the way to 95.

 

If i'm gonna be making money after investing a chunk of money, it'd be at DKS.

 

So wouldn't ss help as much as exts if I was soloing rex?

(im probably dead wrong)

And what should the target level be for extremes? 85?

(I'll need a spicy stew boost, right?)

 

how much is herby gp/xp? 18?

[Levon_]

Look at grimy's spreadsheats for gp/xp, its higher than 18

 

make whatever to 79/80/81

stew spec recovers with login trick to 81/82

stew super antifire to 83

stew extreme attack to 84

stew extreme strength to 85

 

if you want to continue

stew extreme defence to 86

stew extreme magic to 87

stew extreme range to 88

 

after that level out your ammounts and make extreme sets to 91

 

overloads to 99

 

 

That is how any smart person will train herblore

kinda against the OP but.

 

Yak > Turm and Ovls and Extremes and SS.

[Samaster]

Though personal experience, I have found extremes to be awesome. Soul Split shouldnt be got without turm. IMO you should keep on normal prayers till 95 prayer (what I did) becuase Piety is way to usefull untill you can use turmoil.

 

Again imo extremes > turmoil + ss > overloads

 

If I had yak I would also say yak > extremes etc... But as I dont at the moment I will just stick to what I know.

In my opinion turmoil is generally better than extremes, as it helps you much more in slayer (superantifire vs soul split) and dungeoneering (flashing turmoil + soul split costs a little prayer but saves a lot of food). It is of course more expensive than extremes are. Overload > turmoil for many forms of bosshunting, however trouble with overload is that they are expensive to use whereas turmoil + ss only saves you money.

 

You could do a sort of hybrid, getting only the (fairly cheap) herblore level to make extreme attack and strength and superantifire, then going mad questing to get that Blood Runs Deep/Nomad's Requiem/While Guthix Sleeps xp reward (WGS xp can also be used on herblore) and getting a high prayer level.

 

Currently prayer is more expensive than before free trade and herblore is not (maybe even cheaper, not sure) so you may wish to wait until the ashes update to see whether you wish to level it or not.
