I am thinking Summoning, because other skills might cost more money, but it is also the effort and time of getting the charms. I have zero interest in bursting rock lobsters, cause that involves luring and magic, both of which I dont care for doing in combat. But I just want to get some thoughts.

You dont nessisarily have to burst to get charms for summoning, you can also kill monsters such as Waterfiends,Wyverns, & Black Demons as well as doing slayer. That being said, i would use it on skills such as Prayer, Herblore, Runecrafting, or other slow skills and or skill that cost a ton to train or are very slow.

I can only use them on skills over 80 for one lamp and 83 for the other 4. I dont see the point on using it on Rcing as that is a money maker, why speed up a skill that makes me money. My herblore is already 97, so I am not sure what leveling that will do. and I can use it on prayer anyway as my prayer is only 79.

Runecrafting does not make good money. It's less money than picking mort myre fungi or pretty much any form of monster hunting. Added with the fact that it's extremely slow, runecrafting should be your first choice.

You're 94 slayer. You will get enough charms for 99 summoning at 94-99 slayer.

Prayer is by far the most expensive skill out of these, at a total of 3,335,000 gp saved.

You already have ovls so leveling herblore should only be done when you have the money spare.

 

Spend the lamps on prayer if you want to save money, runecrafting if you want to save your sanity.

Cheesy is right. RC used to be good money, not anymore. The xp/hr is incredibly slow. My first choice would be prayer, simply for the GP saving, followed by RC for the time saving. Good luck!

The only reason summoning would be good is if you hate charm gathering. Higher summoning levels also means you can get more exp out of the charms you currently have banked.

I used up almost all of my charms, so I am only have like 500 charms and out of that only like 30 are blues. My thinking was that yak makes every other skill faster/better, except rcing. Also in terms of RCing, if it isnt good money, then there is no point doing it at all no matter what my level is?

 

Also, I dont have 83 prayer and 4 of the 5 lamps can only be used on a skill of 83 and up.

You're 94 slayer and I assume you're going for 99. You will get enough charms for 99 (or a yak if you wish to stop at 96.), so charms aren't really a factor.

It's down to money: 3.3m worth of prayer exp, or 750k-2.175m in summoning exp (depending on what pouches you make)

Apart from unlocking bloods for dungeoneering (you already have), elite karamja task (level 86 (+5 stew)), effigies(91-93 (+5 stew) and probably some other things I've forgotten about, runecrafting has no real use.

could I keep the lamps in my bank until I get 83 prayer? I would first have to get my construction level up and build a gilded altar. I do not want to bother using someone else's altar.

I believe the only exp items that can be banked are effigies.

You can't bank them, so if you haven't finished the tasks don't do them till you're 83 prayer (takes probably an hour or so - use someone elses house even if you don't like it.)

I have never done gilded altar

get 83 prayer.

 

then use it on prayer.

 

then get 95 prayer

so far no luck finding anyone with gilded altar. Also how do I do it? I have never done it before, I know I need to have marentills, but no idea how many and I think I can use my Bob to carry extra bones, either way, I only have 1950 drag bones in bank, I dont think that is enough to get me from 79-83

To calculate how many bones you need go here: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=prayer_calc.htm

 

You can build a guilded altar at level 75 (72 using cups from teak shelves) construction. http://www.tip.it/runescape/construction_table.php?table=Chapel

World 31 outside yanille portal. Ask for an open altar and people will tell you the username of a person. fill up your inv with bones and your bob with bones. the owner of the house will do the marrentills.

 

you'll need 3,134 dragon bones for 83, but you save 3.3m worth of exp by using the lamps on prayer. If you can't afford the extra 1.2k bones atm, dont finish the diary till you can. If you do that and spend the exp on prayer you will save 3.3m

of course I can afford the extra bones, I have $152M in free cash in bank right now, it is just a question of do I want to spend it on prayer.

If money isn't the issue here you could have just said that and saved me a lot of time. Spend it on runecrafting.

what is the point of spending it on RCing, who cares if it is slow exp, if it isnt a good money maker at any level, who cares what level I am? I dont think level 84 rcing is holding me back for anything.

 

And I can always just use ZMI, next bonus weekend, I have 52K pure ess banked from slayer and I bought like 30K when pure ess dropped to like 80gp after free trade.

The xp lamps might give you access to the Karamja Elite diary which has another set of xp lamps as a reward AND you will be close to the taskmaster emote, which is a nice touch. So in that sense, it can be very much worth getting 86 runecrafting (+5 stew).

You're right in that RC is slow exp and it sucks as a money maker but for those who are trying to max out their skills - it's considered a big waste of time.

Most notably, RC does become helpful in a few niche situations - mainly completing achievement diaries as well as dungeoneering (you really only need like 70ish RC).

Off the top of my head, I remember the Karamaja/Varrock tasks requiring a pretty high RC level (90+ iirc).

 

It seems like you're maxing out more of your important skills and concentrating on those. If that's how you want to play - you probably don't want to waste it on RC.

However, if you're going to go for 99 everything - not having to RC the entire way is definitely helpful especially since it is the slowest skill :/

Personally, if I had your exact same stats, I'd use it on RC. But, my plans include all 90+, all diaries, and eventually maxed total, which I don't know if you also have. If you never plan to have a RC level higher than what you have now, then it would be worthless.

 

Other than that, the only other skill I see being worthwhile is summoning. I know you like slayer and the LRC, so that rules out fishing/mining/slayer. None of your other skills would benefit from an extra 120k xp. Summoning would get you a Yak and Titan faster, which will speed things up a lot, and add more fun to the game. But, you'll also get the charms from slayer, so the only benefit from this is getting the familiars a little faster. I still think it overrules every other skill except for RC though.

so blake, you think summoning would be the best bet? my logic was that yes prayer would save me more money, but summon will get me a yak faster, which with a yak I can make more money in slayer cause I wont need to bank as much, I could kill higher level bosses, and it would make other skills like hunter faster, cause I can bank an extra 12 swamp lizards each trip.

 

So I am really torn now between prayer and summon. To get prayer, I need about 1K more dragon bones, which is only like 5.8M, which isnt that much, and that would get me to 83 prayer, plus the extra 120K in lamps, assuming I use the 80+ exp lamp also on prayer, but that still leave me at only 83 prayer, but it also brings me that much closer to 95.

 

It almost seems like a chicken and the egg debate. If I get prayer faster I save money, if I get summon faster I can make more money faster to spend on prayer.....

I am not sure if this makes a difference or not, but dragon bone prices seem to be crashing. They are down to 5.7K each.

If you're only ~5 mil away - and your bank is 150 M - it's an easy decision, no?

 

Either way, if you have 100+ M - you're in a great place to flip/merch.

You can easily make over 5-10 M a day just checking in on the GE once in a while.

There's no point in being frugal with 5 M, if you can easily make it back within a day and get loads more exp.

 

 

If I were you, I'd definately spend the lamps on prayer.

Your magic is 85 (which isn't really low but it's not as high as it could be). I would do the D&D and then burst rock lobs for charms.

This way you get magic levels, summoning levels and you can dump all your lamps into prayer.
