I have the herby level to make them, and I have a few in my bank, but I have no idea when to use them. Are there any boss monsters I can use them on at my current level? Do you ever use them on slayer tasks?

the only slayer task I use ovl on is mith dragons.

 

and dagganoths I guess since I dk.

In order of importance

 

Anywhere else you think you'd need to brew or invent space is an issue.

They do not have a significant impact on slayer tasks. Ext potting every 5minutes is significantly cheaper and unless pressed for space (which you shouldn't be on slayer task).

 

A lot of richer players use overloads on slayer just because they either: Value the herb xp and have the mentality that they are "free" because of the herblore xp, or are just rich enough not to care.

Overloads are great for tasks you just want to go all-out on: wyverns, mithril dragons, ice strykes for the mage boost, dks etc.

Ice Strykes....?

He's one level from a wolper, not really worth the mention.

Depending on how highly you value slayer exp they can be worth using for all slayer tasks. I don't remember the math or care to do it right now, but it's essentially boosting your average level from 122.5 to 125 assuming you repot every 5 minutes with extremes. Gets more annoying and complicated to calculate if you use berserker prayer. But yeah, there are undoubtedly people rich enough to reasonably value slayer experience highly enough to overload every task all the time. One of those guys with 200m herb exp, for example.

Using them for slayer is a waste.

Well it is, for convenience, as a unicorn over a wolper essentially cuts your prayer use to about 0. While overloads are technically not efficient except to some rare players, they do help (me) to keep focused, to not forget my specials, to keep track of how long a task took etcetera.

 

Overloads are more efficient than repotting/rescrolling every few minutes for sure, scrolling ever minute is almost always more efficient than overloading.

You don't need a unicorn at ice strykes, soul split flashing a tiny bit gets your hp up FAST. When you're hitting 900s it doesn't take much.

Overloads in my opinion are best used on boss monsters and some various non boss monsters (dark beasts and dragons are the only 2 i can think of off the top of my head)

Frost dragons are a good place to ovl too, especially if you want to melee (which is faster).

IMHO, overloads are 100% overkill for dking. using regular extremes lasts slightly longer, but the downside is that you don't always have MAX boost.

 

Try DKing. If you have EEE and a unicorn, you shouldn't have to re-brew unless you make mistakes.

I dont have EEE yet, I am working on it though

Not if you hybrid solo or something, you can't really use brews well with extremes, unless soul split covers all your hp healing. Imo overloads are perfect for dking, especially tribriding as all 3 styles will be boosted with one pot.

With the amount I made on route to 99 herblore, every slayer task, every monster, every quest, everything. If you are very limited, I wouldn't use on slayer at all.

I disagree. Duo tribriding with cannons, and one person using ice blitz, the food we needed was minimal. Unicron and eee covered most healing. It would even be more overkill with soulsplit. Only potions I used xatk and xstr. Granted, xmages would make rex go faster, no extra food was needed.

With overloads, you are giving up an extra 400 health every 5 mins, meaning you have to use EEE special to recover from overloads, and the only source of constant healing you have are unicorn and brews, which overall leads to more potions used then just extremes.

 

Just imho.

You were duoing :rolleyes:. Solo 2.5 >>> duo tribrid, in xp and loot. Obviously overloads don't lose you any health either. I'm thinking you don't really know how ovl works.
