Picking up charms?

Recommended Posts

Should I be picking up gold and green charms, while training slayer?

I have level 85 summoning, and when ever I train summoning again, I will use crimson or blue.

I already have 11k gold charms, and maybe 6k greens banked.

 

I donno, it feels weird to not pick them up. :???:

From what ive heard They're not really that efficient for training at higher levels.

But, if you have the invent space then why not? While not being efficient, they could help you get abit of extra exp towards levels, especially with large amounts.

Gold are by far the most gp/xp efficient so if you don't have a huge bank just lying around doing nothing, you should make use of this.

 

Green charms on the other hand have the worst gp/xp AND they're much slower then crimson and blue, so you can ignore these unless you plan on using everything and anything you get to get 99 summoning as soon as possible (As i am doing :P)

 

Realistically, the time saved from not picking up gold charms is no where near enough to make up for the lower xp/hour they give. It's still very high xp/hour compared to other skills if you use a spirit kyatt so i don't understand why people would not pick them up or use them.

11k gold charms can get you almost 1m xp, 6k greens another 700k or so. With about 2m slayer to 99 to go, you can count on another 1.5-2m-ish xp in all charms (depending on what tasks you do). All that together will get you to about 92 summoning I think, less if you don't take golds/greens. So if you want a yak asap it's probably worth taking every charm.

 

On the other hand, there's about 5 golds to the crim, so if you can gather crimsons faster than the time it takes to make 5x the pouches I guess that'd be better.

I think if you're doing:

-barker toads - you'd be getting like ~100k exp an hour

-fruit bat - you'd be getting like ~150k exp an hour

 

I mean those are pretty good rates (if you're comparing to most other skills), however when I switched to rock lobsters - I went up to like 450-500k an hour.

Green are pretty expensive usually (although at the moment, it seems like fruit bats are profitable but unicorns are like 9-10 gp/xp)

 

For me, charm gathering is a little bit annoying (can't say I'm loving camping monsters out side of familiarization - cause I'd much level my crappy slayer level) so I pick up everything.

But if you like bursting lob (for magic/hp exp) or you want to train melee more then you can drop yellow/green although the ones you have, you already wasted time picking up so you might as well keep it
