pgmr185 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I just got 85 Dung and am really anxious to try out frost dragons. I did a practice run with some basic equipment (and no cannon) and I have a few questions. When I got there I was completely alone, not another person in the whole dungeon. After about a half hour of having free run of the place I got surrounded by three guys with cannons and couldn't really get in another kill. So the first question is, how busy does it actually get down there? Is it usually full, or are there plenty of times when it's dead? Next, how essential is having a cannon? Both in terms of kills per hour, and also in being able to claim an area of the dungeon to kill in. I got 54 kills in a half hour, would the cannon significantly improve on that? And last, what is a reasonable number for kills/hour for me? I've got overloads, a rapier, and turmoil. I'm not talking about the absolute maximum possible kills/hour for a master dragon slayer, just a good honest number that I should be shooting for.

Nostar Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 It's crowded now, a couple months ago you had plenty of free worlds. But yeah... bots... Cannon improves kills/h by a ton i usually get around 150 kills/h with extremes, rapier, turm & wart tort.With a yak it's like 190-200 kills/h i heard. This is in ideal circumstances.

If you want a good approximation of how many dragons per hour - you need to tell us:a.) the gear you are usingb.) your levelsc.) turmoil/pietyd.) yake.) overloads or extremes? when are you repotting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 210/hr is the max killrate but this is hard to achieve and requires summoning potions. 150/hr is the max a yak can bank naturally. If you are not using summoning potions and you find that you can bank every bone/rune long/effigy/visage etc. you get, you need to up your killrate.

You said you were using a rapier (what about the rest of your gear? unless you're only using a rapier)I mean, I was asking this so you would get a better estimate. Additionally, if there was anything wrong with your setups - somebody from Tip.It would probably correct you/show you a good alternative set-up. However, if all you were looking for is a 50 kill / hour range - then I guess good luck with Frost Dragons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmmy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 If people thought the botting was bad, its about to get a whole lot worse. New bot just released with cannon and yak support...

The Observer Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I heard it was pretty crowded there with bots, so you'll need to find a way to overcome that to make a decent profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmr185 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Well, I got my cannon and it worked out really well. There were lots of other people there, so it really helped me get some kills. I can't say for certain that the others were bots, but they all had War Tortoises, all set their cannons up within one square of each other, and usually the cannons ran out of ammo for long stretches of time. Most of the accounts were pretty low leveled (100-120) so maybe they botted their Dung levels,too. I guess that there's just about no risk in being caught anymore if these guys are willing to take the chance with a non-throwaway account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
