How do i improve this account?

[Powerfrog]

 

Has chaotic maul and rapier. Arcane stream necklace too. Full void including deflector. Barrows gloves. Many d defenders. SW cape. Ability to imbue multiple rings (berserker, warrior, onyx etc..)

 

Have charms for 80 summoning, also 30 ancient effiges banked that are going to be used on summoning experience at a later date.

 

Only have about 1m bank currently =/

 

 

 

What i want is a basic guide starting from now to being an awesome boss killer. (GWD, corp, nex) Including how to make starting money, which skills to train, how to train them, what gear to get and use... Everything.

 

I want overloads and turm but i'm too poor and don't have any good money making methods... I've been duo/trioing Graardor hoping for some drops, but have had rather bad luck.

[Sinkhan]

Well you already mentioned turm/extremes, so the only thing I can think of after that is:

96 for spellbook swap so that you can stay on lunars more often

At least 88 Summoning for Uni, but you'll probably want a yak

 

Skillingwise for making money, I'd probably just do some herb runs. You might be able to do frosts, but I hear it's awful without a yak. You might be able to do TDs, but I hear it's awful without a uni.

 

DKs would probably be your best bet currently.

 

I'm sure Quyneax still has that universal post lying around, detailing what everyone should have for slayering (and that mostly carries over to bossing)

 

Lastly, I'm curious as to why some fields are whited out.

Assuming you don't want Slayer Exp.

 

Armoured Zombies, Skeleton Monkeys, Vyrewatch - Melee Exp (Possible Profit)

Cannoning Black Dragons - Melee Exp, Prayer Exp, Prayer Exp (Possible Profit)

Cannoning Cave Crawlers - Melee Exp, Range Exp, Effigies (Big Loss)

Waterfiends - Melee Exp, Charms (Possible Profit)

Cannoning Black Demons - Melee Exp, Charms, Range Exp, Prayer Exp.

Chinning Nechs - Prayer Exp, Charms, Range Exp (Possible Profit)

 

Once you hit a decent Ranged level start doing TDs. These should help you with Charms for Summoning and getting money for Herblore, Prayer and Summoning 2nds.

List of stuff to hunt nex:

 

Chaotic Xbow

Rigour

99 Range

Max Meele

95+ Prayer

91-96 Herb (Ovls)

Unlock Curses

99 Mage

96 Summoning

 

More im probably forgetting.

 

How Id go about it:

 

Max meele's through slayer, picking up at least another 20 effigies and some minor cash (10m/more if ashes/hides/bones banked)

Either continue range slaying or spend cash on chins for either nechs/mummies/ape atoll

 

Aside from staking/dicing/pk luck, money making for non maxed boss hunters is pretty [cabbage]house. Probably need 200m all up for herb/pray/summoning

[Powerfrog]

I'm currently pretty far from the quest requirment for TDs but i guess that would be a good and useful goal to set myself.

 

I really don't care about things like slayer. I do not intend on maxing the account, just the combat side. (Slayer is poor money, mediocre xp, mediocre charms, low effigies.)

 

Last time i tried frosts there were literally 3 bots per dragon, i might try some forign worlds, but i hear they're not much better. I've started training farming recently, but i tend to forget about it or simply not feel like doing it. I hear torstols are great money though, so i'll probably be more likely to put the effort in when i have more money to give me incentive.

 

I have very little experience with DKs... Should i be solo maging rex? Cannon hybrid solo? Duo? Mass?

 

 

I used to enjoy and be fairly successful in the wilderness long ago, but since then my account has gained far too many combat levels with very little benefit to pking, and having piety at 123cb is just asking to be owned.

 

I will never stake or dice unless the odds are heavily in my favour and there is zero chance of being scammed. (Not going to happen.)

 

I may look into cannoning black dragons/demons as both are fairly profitable, decent effigies, some melee xp, some ranged xp and plenty charms (with demons)

What? No. I've played runescape for over 6 years. I'm just looking for some good advice on what to do next. What makes you say that?

Oh sorry then, don't mean to be rude. Just the way you typed it :P. Anyways, you could do all the quests, thats always cool.

 

edit: you meant boss killing, hmm.... maybe level up your attack a bit?

[Quyneax]

Actually slayer is pretty much medium effigies, on par with tds/glacors and certainly better than GWD, Nex and Corp (DKs drop none at all).

 

For bossing you need 99 att/def/str/mage/range/pray/hp/summ and 1k+ overloads, chaotic rapier, maul, crossbow, staff, rigour and some gear (Nex gear preferred) but at least Karil's, Bandos, dfs, spectral, arcane, Armadyl, glaiven boots, infinity/ragefire boots, steadfast/dragon boots, fury, imbued berserker/onyx + preferably archer and farseer, Ahrim's, barrows gloves, dragon claws, eee, all elite void items (though mage helm/mace are optional), dwarf cannon + cannonballs, steel titan, yak and unicorn pouches + scrolls, handcannons + shot, diamond and ruby bolts, Saradomin brews, super restores, prayer potions, prayer renewals, special recovers, antipoisons (strongest there is), fire cape, soul wars cape, Ardougne cloak 3/4, Zamorakian spear, Armadyl battlestaff + runes, helmet of Neitiznot and perhaps fighter hat, Ava's alerter and ideally also a divine or elysian spirit shield or both.

 

^Sorry for the jumbled mess but that's sort of a list.

Thanks for the huge list, i appreciate it.

 

Why C staff, spectral/arcane, ragefire, ahrims, farseer (i), armadyl staff + runes though? As far as i can tell, the only boss you'd ever want to mage is Rex, and he can be maged in melee gear (Or at least lower tier magic gear) quite successfully. All of this seems like kind of a waste. (Plus wasn't there a huge thread about magic defense doing very little after a certain point, making spectral rather useless? Not to mention the free Sacred clay shield with the same stats.) Also are there any bosses where steel titan would be prefered over a uni or Yak? Only one i can think of is TD's but i'd imagine by the time i'm 99 summoning i'll be pretty much finished with TD's and onto things like nex.

 

I think i'm going to slowly chip my way towards the quest cape to start off with and unlock things like EEE and access to TD's, then i can start making some real money and level pray/herb/summ from TD's, as well as gradually improving my gear as i go, somewhere inbetween finish off maxing combat in dungeoneering while going for the other rewards i'm missing.

[Quyneax]

The mage gear is for Storm of Armadyl on Graardor for example and also for barraging tormented demons. Spectral is for solo Kree/Graar/Kril until you get divine/ely, though maul would be better on Graar.

 

Steel titan is useful for Kree (kc, minions), Kril (melee tanking, +15% melee defence bonus), tormented demons and glacors.

I've been curious about that for a while... So SoA with an Armadyl battlestaff is more DPS than a rapier/cls at graardor? I wonder what price the runes are going to settle at. At 40 KPH you could make 533 runes an hour... 2k each rune would still be over 1m/hour profit just from shards, plus all the boots and effigies and other drops, i think that sounds like a reasonable stable price to expect.

 

That's 3m/hour cost for casting. Gonna have to be a hell of a difference for that to be more efficient that a chaotic anywhere other than PvP.

[Quyneax]

I can see runes go as low as 1-1.5k but you're right that the dps difference is huge. SoA is,so powerful that a rapier would have to be 34% more accurate than the spell to have higher dps (Latin's math not mine). For cls/maul, which are better at Bandos, that'd have to be even higher as they have lower base dps. SoA is more than 30% accurate at Graar so there you have it :P.
