Mini_Spawn Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Stats above. I have access to mid level gear (bandos etc), how should I go about making a profit staking? for the most part I did boxing, however I have an unfavorable k:d ratio and I just can't seem to turn a profit. I need 25m to buy 92 herb for overloads.... Making a pure with non maxed stats isn't an option. thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Squab Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 You should consider something other then boxing tbh. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller.

Mini_Spawn Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 You should consider something other then boxing tbh. Such as what though? Mage boxing gives probably the same odds as regular boxing. I lag too hard to be effective in a rapier stake. Hybriding perhaps? but from what I've heard the only hybrid stakers do so in pvp/nex gear lol.

Quyneax Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The only thing you can compete in is melee and magic, summoning and ranged are out of course. Secondly you can't get an edge by using superior gear or having superior stats (unless someone without a rapier rapier stakes you). In the end, all you can do is continue gaining 0 net income or quit staking. If you're just bored with boxing you can try armour on staking (make sure your opponent doesn't have nex gear equipped before the fight) and use Statius with cls and vls.

Using correct boxing techniques (like right spell order and setting in a mage box) sets your expected win ratio to over 50%, since there are always people who don't use the proper methods and are unskilled. At worst (staking against people who also do everything perfectly) the odds are 50%, but since it'll always be higher if you are maxed stats/use the right techniques your expected income should well be over 0. You just need a large enough bank to continuously do stakes to get closer to the true value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I guess that could be true for small stakes; I very much doubt you can do large stakes and find people using sub-par methods. Also I think spell order isn't very hard at all, using smoke > ice until you take damage > blood basically (if smoke will get poison in at least once).

Also I think spell order isn't very hard at all, using smoke > ice until you take damage > blood basically (if smoke will get poison in at least once). There are a ton of people that do <10m stakes who don't realize what they're doing wrong, and you can always find them at the duel arena anytime. Tons of pics of me consistently downing maxed players in mage boxes (or people genearlly 10-25 lvls higher), and i'm not even maxed def or hp. Of course my win ratio is only about 55% out of around 100 stakes, but even that kind of win ratio was enough to pull about 40m net profit out of the duel arena doing multiple 1-10m stakes over a period of 2 days, with a 100m starting cash pile (imagine the kind of income someone with say 10x my bank could pull in). You only need a very miniscule advantage over the general population of stakers to pull a decent profit and you don't even have to do the giant stakes you see in the videos to get an income better than conventional money making methods. I'm also pretty sure that the people who got their entire banks cleaned staking before were probably the people who didn't know proper staking techniques, or how much to bet on one stake, so mistakes certainly do happen in large 100m+ stakes.
