Bursting to yak

[Loffelicious]

Anyone have an estimate of how much it would cost me to burst for a yak?

 

Atm I have charms for 86, so that's around 3,6m xp.

 

I can afford any gear, vecna skull(is that useful there?) etc.

 

I can obtain battle robes.

Wolpertinger > Extreme magic > Vecna

 

or if you are camping for very long amounts

 

Wolpertinger > Vecna

Magic damage boosts are not useful there, and Vecna's skull doesn't allow the use of higher-levelled spells (boost doesn't last enough). Wolpers mess up lures as well.

 

Also, bursting as a whole is inefficient, more so with battle robes. Unless you are in a dire need of magic xp.

 

You should use extreme magic pots to use smoke barrage if you wanted to do lobs. Your trips would be shorter, but you don't need much prayer pots. You can easily fit 8x4 doses in your inventory, which is enough for a 1.5hr trip.

 

I assume you have a rapier, overloads and turmoil. For which you have the stats, of course. For you, wyverns would likely be more efficient. A dragonfire shield is very helpful there.

Wyverns are good charm droppers?

Is this suggestion viable just because he doesn't have access to higher leveled spells?

[Loffelicious]

^ Is bursting not efficient vs barrage or what is the reason for wyverns to be faster/better charms for me than rock lobsters?

 

Edit: I do have rapier, access to overloads and turmoil.

Can you please elaborate on wyverns? Never heard of anyone mention them for charms and I am curious

They are decent charm droppers, up there with rock lobsters, waterfeinds and black demons. Skeletals drop two crimsons 50% of the time.

 

I personally hate them, but some people find them quite decent.

yea i know i've killed them on task before, was wanting something more of kills/hr and gp loss/gain /hr

[Loffelicious]

Would be quite useful, yes

Bursting is not efficient with battle robes compared to waterfiends. Without battle robes it is only efficient if you make a lot of money and you need magic xp (you could also train magic by superheat-mining for example).

 

Barraging is efficient until you reach an iron titan, however not with battle robes.

 

Wyverns can be 140 crims/hr pretty easily I think, but that was on task. I have my charm logs in my notes in game but I can't reach those now as the servers seem to be down <_<. Will edit those in later. I remember 320 crims in under 40 minutes of which 106 tripled, or 162 per hour.

 

Bursting and barraging become more efficient the less powerful your melee dps is. Because it doesn't depend on overloads or turmoil and stuff.
