August 7, 201114 yr I'm looking to get 99 magic by bursting/barraging rock lobsters (currently lvl 90), and I have a few questions: 1. Should I bother using a Vecna skull to boost to 94 mage for ice barrage, or should I use ice burst until then? Or is shadow barrage until 94 a better alternative?2. What's the approximate xp/h and gp/xp at the 7 lobster spot vs. the 9 lobster spot using ice burst/barrage?3. How far do I get summoning xp-wise by doing this for 99 mage? (Currently 78 summ)4. Should I use an SGS or an EE? (not the EEE, mind you) Thanks!
August 7, 201114 yr 1. I believe shadow/smoke barrage are better alternatives to Vecna skull>Ice barrage as you can only use the skull once every 7 minutes.2. This depends on what gear you will be using, battle robes and sol? Ahrims and chaotic staff? Personally I use b robes and sol and I have managed around 130k exp per hour barraging with a cost of ~500k/hr3.Unsure on this one.4.Neither. Blood barrage/burst or soul split will do all the healing for you.
August 7, 201114 yr Sgs for prayer boost. 7-lob spot is 25 or 33% less effective than the 9-lob spot. You are also much more likely to die running through to the 7-lob spot! My lame drops:6 Effigys1 D Med - 1 D Dagger1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody
August 7, 201114 yr You can bring Vecna's skull and some (extreme) magic potions if you do some shorter trips. Either ice or smoke barrage would be good, but I recommend ice. You use the same amount of casts for around 20% less damage per cast, which means xp/hr drops by 20% and gp/xp goes up by 25%. You should get around 200 crimson charms per hour, or about 1 crimson per 1k magic xp. That's around 8000 crimson charms on the way to 99 magic, or 3m xp. From your current level that is (close to) a unicorn.
