Uses for the Pack Yak

[nattylite4me]

Well I finally got my yak yesterday after 6 months of hoarding and I was wondering what are some of the uses for it. I know all the obvious uses of course, (bossing, dragons/demons, etc.), but what are some of the other uses a yak has when skilling and doing other general runescape things. Thanks in advance.

It can be used to hold resources. When selecting make-x, the game counts the resources in your inventory and will go on smithing until you've finished those as well. You still have to manually withdraw though. This works for:

Torstol used in overloads. Because you can load up torstol for 6 inventories at the time this is quite nice.

Bars used in smithing of any kind, mostly plates.

Crafting; dragonhides. This is a bank skill so it doesn't help very much.

Fletching, stringing bows, same as crafting.

Altaring bones.

You can also use it to bank phoenix feathers. It will not hold them for you (as they're untradeable) but will send to bank. I tested it once, but can't remember how many I managed to send before my inv was full, but if you abhor the teleing/running back as much as me, it helps a little bit.

Worth noting your familiar special scroll refills every two minutes (30 bars per hour) and you get 5 yak specs per bar, or 150 items/hr.

Summon potions restore your familiar special bar don't they? Be worth using those and filling your yack with a bunch if you were using them to bank phoenix feathers I'd expect.

Taking 56 summoning potions and scroll banking all the feathers instantly would probably be pretty fast :o

It's around 2k gp per feather banking with summoning pots. It still takes around 5 seconds per feather as well.

Being awesome. That's the best use :D

 

But on a more serous note, go through your daily scaping' routine. Having a yak is essentially having the ability to bank any item you want, and also an extra 30 invi spaces to work with. It can be useful for almost anything and everything. Someone in my clan mentioned how he almost always has his summoned since he got it since it's so useful ;)

Another option is to bring something like broad arrows to fletch and just banking when you have enough

However, this is slow (for gathering feathers) and you need to cast humidify/bring an enchanted tiara

Great if you have fletching to level & herblore to level

Yeah it's been my goal for a long time. I mean looking from a yackless perspective, pack yak is game breaking. Camping a monster and don't want to bank? Send to bank! 28 inventory spaces not enough? How about MORE THAN DOUBLE? Your war tortoise keeps making the boss aggressive? No worries, i'll not touch him.

[All_Is_Great]

Use the yak anywhere you can basically.

Oh yes. I always cringed when my War Tortoise decided to come to my rescue. Made that mistake on an aberrant spectre task in the Pollivneach well... it was not pretty.

PK with yaks. It's epic for quickly banking loot, as well as protecting your stuff if you're in high level or are teleblocked and getting wrecked.

I'll note on this, that just like any other familiar you cannot store any items over a certain ge price (I believe it's around 50k per slot, but I'm not positive) inside the yak.

I really want a pack yak even though I'm only 72 Summoning, it can help with so many things.
