Charm gathering

[Nomrombom]

My Summoning level is in my sig, and I'm looking for 69 Summ. I have about 698 golds, 371 crims, 364 greens, and 106 blues. For 69, if I only used said kind of charm, I'd need:

~4300 gold

~3400 green

~1300 crims

~700 blue

 

Of course, I'm going to use all kinds of charms, those are just the numbers I can get from the calc.

 

So my question is what should I be doing for the charms?

1. No Waterfiends, I have tried them out and my stats/gear are not enough to be efficient (No bunyip, no maul, all melees under 80, etc.)

2. No Black Demons, I have also tried them out and my stats/gear are not enough to be efficient either (no rapier, no bandos, can't afford to cannon, etc.)

 

I've been thinking of doing Baby Blacks as their overall drop rate of charms is 51%, with good greens and decent crims.

 

Thoughts?

No reason to settle for mediocre charms when its faster to make money to cannon black demons. However other options you have are dust devils, shadow warriors beneath the legends guild, or just level slayer.

[ccesssu]

black demons should be decently quick

my stats are just a bit lower than yours and i do fine there

[Lose No Hope]

Do slayer.

[jddogg]

Do you get more charm drops while on slayer tasks or something?

No, but you get combat XP plus slayer XP, good drops, charms, and it keeps things new and interesting.

[Lose No Hope]

Almost all slayer tasks on an efficient list have good charm drop rates. There are a few exceptions, but those tasks are good in other areas like experience, effigies, and drops.

Not to mention the fact that training slayer will get your combat skills up.

That would then allow you to kill waterfiends/black demons/what have you later if you so wish.

 

I just do slayer and the occasional penguin points for my summoning level.

[LitterBug]

I used to think like that - go do something with a high drop rate and a low combat level.

However, it's a pretty bad idea - don't focus so much on summoning at the moment.

 

One thing you can do is bring a bunch of prayer potions and go familiarization before going to water fiends.

 

Since you can only do this once a week - I suggest start training your other skills.

You can start working on skills needed to unlock some of the achievement diary awards while farming ever hour or so for the money.

[Quyneax]

You should be able to kill waterfiends, try Karil's + prot ranged (if you can afford it).

 

Otherwise I agree with Litterbug that it won't be very fast to gather a lot of charms now - of course you won't have a bunyip for longer, but I think you best stick to familarization + Bork + slayer.

[Captivates]

Definitely head to waterfiends! I was assigned them and didnt want to move on after i finished the task haha. My account is a typical range tank with 70 str & 70 attack and I did fine slaying them. Just use a sara sword (on crush) karil's top and bottom, d boots, and any other thing else to help your str/attack bonuses. Bring some supers and some pray pots along with a few sharks. Crimson charms are common along with a couple of other items worth a bit of money. :thumbup:

With your levels you should just do slayer. Neither of those are going to be extremely fast at your levels.
