95 Prayer

[Saradomin_Mage]

There's little point is saving a marginally small amount of money at the cost of 4.8x the time required. OP could easily earn it back by getting to turmoil faster and then using it to help in his money generation.

Sure, based on the assumption of some type of income per hour as if RS was your job, then sure go with the D Bones, there is absolutely no other choice at all.

 

Also, I don't recall my post speaking of anything "fun" because I would not consider training prayer fun in any form or fashion other than quest reward.

 

OP wanted to SAVE MONEY. You cant hardly beat 6.25 gp/xp if you take into account the OP is probably using money solely from selling items, but if you want to find a way to beat 6.25 gp/xp on a limited monetary supply, be my guest.

 

Sure Big Bones would take a long time and be difficult to work through, but they achieve original purpose of... wait for it... SAVING MONEY in the achievement of a goal.

 

The point is, you use the dragon bones for ~5x faster exp and then spend four hours making money for each one hour of offering bones, and you'll make much more money than you would have saved using big bones. It's called math.

Oh really? Because I obviously can't do math based on the fact that I accounted for your said "four hours making money" by saying that my suggestion is founded on a fixed income of what the OP makes by selling equipment.

 

It's called English. Learn It. Read It.

 

Not everyone's waking moment is spent playing or thinking about Runescape so to assume everyone and anyone can make up the money in those four hours applies to a certain portion of the RS community. Is the OP part of that community, maybe, I don't know. I am just providing my input on the solution asked about in this forum. OP's goal is to save money, I offer a solution that saves money.

OP's fixed income isn't selling his equipment. That's liquidation of his assets. His income is whatever he spends the 3.8x more hours he has to recoup the loss.

Not everyone's waking hours are spent playing or thinking about Runescape, but regardless of that, what you do with your game time is sequential. Assuming he played 2 hours a day, and had a choice between 100 hours of big bones or 20 hours of dragon bones, he'd be looking at spending the next 50 days of his game altaring big bones, or spending the next 10 days altaring dragon bones and then the next 40 days doing something else, whatever he wanted, maybe recouping the extra cash spent on dragon bones.

 

EDIT : Wow, even normal bones are worse GP/XP than big bones. #-o

Any advice presented deserves to have the pros and cons against it. There is no reason to keep harping on it: big bones are cheaper but they are substantially slower. At this point it is up to the OP to decide if that is what he wants.

 

Please let's stay on topic and lower the arguing. The information has been presented and unless anyone has new information we should move on.

Yeah, you don't understand at all, but I'm going to heed Kimberly's advice. I'm just going to say that what I said applies regardless of whether you play 20 hours a day or five minutes a day. The end result is the exact same.

At least do Ourg bones (when I did prayer Dag bones were cheaper)

That is not the issue. The issue is the fact that big bones, despite being cheaper gp/xp-wise, would not actually save the OP any money. They are, however, being presented as being an option that saves money when that isn't true. This argument is based around refuting those invalid claims.

And as I said at the end of my post, the information has been presented and unless anyone has any new information, move on.

 

If you have any concerns, please stop derailing the topic and PM me instead. I'll do my best to answer your questions there.

New information because I'm cool like that:

 

Fayrg bones are 15.9 gp/exp and give faster exp then dragon bones.

Raurg bones are 17.2 gp/ex and give faster exp then Fayrg bones.

 

However, the GE graph shows items with "jumpy" prices for lack of a better word, as oppose to the smooth "circly" graphs of heavily traded items, meaning if you try to do these you might find the supply rather limited.
