Effigies and such


blacksimon

Recommended Posts

Im coming up on 99 slayer real soon, and my main source of effigies will be gone.

 

I have never cannoned cave crawlers, I have turm/ovls/steeltitan etc

 

Around 750m to blow on effigy gathering

 

My question is this: what is the fastest effigy collection setup. I can bank in under 2 minutes, so lengthy trips are irrelevant.

 

And secondly, around how long/ how many effigies can I get out of my cashpile?

Take a look at the Effigyscape thread? You could keep slaying for effigies, tds, etc..

I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

note to those that didn't read what i wrote:

 

i'm asking about cave crawlers

the effigyscape guide is a wee bit outdated

 

2nd question is more important to me than the first, i'm requesting assistance from someone who personally cannons cave crawlers for advice/costs/speed etc.

850 kills per hour, 1/700-1/750 drop rate, cost 1.5m/hr, use steel titan to lure more crawlers to the cannon, use Bandos/rapier/defender/fsh with scrolls and either fire or sw cape depending on how long you want to last/your super prayer stack.

2k pop world, don't forget super antipoisons(++).Bonecrusher would be nice to clear the ground of herbs. You have to redeploy cannon roughly every 4 over doses(just a bit before the last dose runs out).

You actually shouldn't lure crawlers to the cannon with titan- it slows down kph. The titan should be killing far off crawlers all the time.

 

The melee gear you use doesn't matter alot(max 10 kph, if that), so i use proselyte and sw cape for 1h trips with normal prayer potions. You should definitely get a herbicide. Rapier is the best chaotic to use, but if you only have cls, that will be nearly as good. The cost right now is around 5700 cannonballs 400 steel titan scrolls 11 4 dose prayer potions 3 4 dose overloads and 6 doses of antipoison++ an hour. The average kph will be around 825 and it's between 1/700-1/775 for an effigy. It's generally only worth picking up only blue and crimson charms, but but if you also want gold and green they will take away 50+ kph.

Sorry, shows how much steel titan I've used there :P. But that does show how large the advantage of a steel over an iron is.

I would never recommend using super prayers there. Super prayers take FOREVER to make, which will cancel out the time you save banking from the crawlers and add a hefty price tag. Super prayers are unjustified pretty much anywhere you can bank in under 5 minutes or so because of how long they take to make, I'd only use them at GWD solos, DKs, maybe Nex if you feel like it (I don't), stuff of that nature.

It might be worth considering making ~4 hour trips without herbicide, picking up snape grass, wf vials and rannars to make the needed 15 hourly prayer potions there yourself. Picking up 45 items shouldn't be a major worry, and the only part of that equation, as far as i know, that slows down melee hits is second+unf, and it's only 15 times an hour. Ofcource, this again adds the hourly focus you have to pay, and some people prefer laid back. (for making the potions, you can only have one vial, second and herb in your inventory at a time)

 

Super prayers are for lazy people, and as i have many thousands of them, i still sometimes use them there(and everywhere else).

Lolwut. I'm 99% sure you'd have to get out of combat to put together potions. Have you actually tried this?

Ah. Yeah I'd really rather just bank for more cheap prayer pots and run the 40 seconds back lol. I'm standing by super prayers being absolutely not worth it though- that grinder takes forever.
