Need some Pyramid Plunder advice

[Swiller2]

To mix it up a bit to 99 I have decided to go back and forth between Monkey Knife Fighters and Pyramid Plunder. It has been quite a while since I have done plunder and need some tips:

 

At 91 thieving what should I loot on what floors? As in do I skip to last floor and just loot everything? Or search sarcophagus on each floor, then do as much on last one?

 

What gear should I wear? Agile gear and then a shield like dfs or something and wield EEE?

 

And I am assuming use a uni for cure and healing?

 

If anyone could give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks a lot.

Ideally

 

Head: Nothing/Anything

Neck: Anything/Nothing

Body: Agile top > Nothing/Anything

Legs: Agile legs > Anything/Nothing

Weapon: Sceptre of the gods > Pharaoh's sceptre > (E)EE (> Whip/Rapier)

Shield: Anti-poison totem

Gloves: Penance gloves or Bracelet of regeneration

Feet: Boots of lightness

Ring: Ring of wealth

 

In inventory:

 

- Super Antipoison(s) (4) [if no APT]

- (E)EE (if not equipped)

- Bunyip pouch(es)

- (Whip/Rapier (if not equipped))

 

------

 

Unicorn is a waste as you'll be forced to use his heal way too often, reducing both xp/hour and gp/hour as your summoning points drop to 0 almost immediately (using 'Cure' takes a few Summoning points every time).

You equip the sceptre then teleport to the PP pyramid every time to cut down time looking for right door. Recharge with stone/gold when necessary. Drop everything else or bank it, but still use the sceptre to get around.

 

If you do not have Sceptre of the gods, you can equip your weapon and inventory your sceptre instead. If you do however, it's best to wear it. Weapon should only be carried around if you're keen on killing the stuff in there, but you can man up and just tank or pray the damage instead, which is the best you can do. Especially since there's an altar not too far from the pyramid.

 

Keep the chest and sarcophagus for last every floor to minimize the hindrance you experience from potential monsters spawning.

with your stat, you won't worry about poison.

 

EE and Bunyip will easily offset the damage. pray melee/rapid heal will help but not necessary.

 

body: agile top

leg: agile legs

neck: glory (for teleport)

gloves: combat bracelet (for teleport)

ring: wealth

weapon: sceptre of the gods > EE

put anything on other spot

 

invertory: 2 monkfish (just in case), pharaoh's sceptre, don't need anti-poison it just slow down your speed.

 

some ppl will drop instead of banking. I prefer banking though.

 

Main point is loot everything in the last room, if end up with spare time, you may loot a few in the second-to-last room next time.

If you're looking for weight reduction, wouldn't a spottier cape help too?

[Quyneax]

You don't really need the weight reduction.

 

As other people said, equip a sceptre of the gods if you own one, otherwise ee/eee. You can teleport from your inventory, but not spec from your inventory, so I prefer to wield eee and keep the regular sceptre in my inventory, but the sceptre of the gods only works when equipped. I find that eee + superantipoison keeps me healed full, and without antipoison I need about 4 doses of special recover per run to stay at high health (so 2x the spec, eee = bunyip for healing).

 

Ideally you would loot the last two rooms, but at 91 you may not quite manage that. Half the last room works as well. A partner to duo with would increase xp/hr.
