Obtaurian Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Actually, Idc how long it takes me. I know you guys are all aficionados and all, but that doesn't mean everyone will skip dust devils just cuz 50 min is a long task to you all. It's not a matter of speed. Even with turmoil, extremes, rapier, and a steel titan, they're just not great for experience/effigies/drops/charms. And not really related, but I can complete a very large dust devils task in about 20-25 minutes. :cool: To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli23 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 sorry to hijack, but if you consider dusties bad for xp, you should consider any task where you can't use cannon bad for xp.. At dusties you'll hardly ever miss, so you (near) maximize your slay potential considering only the rapier/whip. First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

LitterBug Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Actually, Idc how long it takes me. I know you guys are all aficionados and all, but that doesn't mean everyone will skip dust devils just cuz 50 min is a long task to you all. I think for now - your stats play a large part. Remember that these guys with maxed stats have access to a lot of familiar/chaos tunnel/kuradel's dungeon-ferocious ringsFor starters-Extremes - try doing a task with and without supers, you'll already notice the differencePiety/Turmoil - piety speeds up the task a lot and you'll notice that you barely get hit - now turmoil is better then that Kuradel's dungeon with a ferocious ring = makes everything more damage-y which is amazing to say the least I'm sure that most of the people who focus on slayer - do have spec weapons/etc to make their life faster.I know for now, my slayer exp is anywhere from 20-25k exp an hour (on melee) but most of these power slayers consider 45k exp an hour to be half decent - which I can only assume they're slaying at a MUCH more efficient and effective rate.

JPMC Mate Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Whatever may be the case, I stand with my opinion. Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous.

I'm just stunned you skip them: this means you skip almost everything? - And only do around 5 different tasks? Greaters and the like are even worse profit..

Autist Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Whatever may be the case, I stand with my opinion. "Even if you beat me, I'm still the best!" Sometimes I do dusties, when I feel like it. Definitely one of the tedious tasks. Oh, and I was wondering... If 50 minutes is quick for you, what's slow? I seriously can't imagine what would take substantially longer than 50 minutes?
