After 500+ kills I've finally managed to get a bloody Sigil:

Think I'm gonna move to Armadyl now to get 99 Range and hopefully a few rare drops to add to my tab. Hopefully I'll have a 100m tab later this week!

Very impressive, grats! Too bad it's always the cheapest sigil. :(.

Yeah, little annoying it wasn't anything better but hey, I still have a lot of my drop tab left and I'm still going to do some Corp. It's a great boss to do if you log on for a short amount of time as it's easy to set up for and get to.

Stole your set up for corp (with a few additions) to get some kills their earlier.

During the fight, do you avoid all of the harder hitting mage splash attacks? I find it hard to predict/see when they're coming, so the occasional 2k hit splat kinda hurts.

I also found penance to be better there, rather than vamp - negates the need to bring a prayer flask, which can be replaced with a food item, and you have one less number to pay attention to, as well as freeing up a spot on the ability bar (by removing the prayer restore item).

I just tank the splash attacks, as you say they are too hard to predict and avoid. Penance seems like it would be good there like you say for that extra bit of food although I find some form of Vamparism does help (although it is definitely not needed). With my set up I rarely have to tele out (I pretty much get the kill 99% of the time). Don't be fooled by my keepsakes by the way, I go with a mixture of Superior Tetsu and Gano.

As for abilities I really haven't looked into them too much, you could probably find a better Ability bar than mine if you looked into it.

I go with pretty much the same gear, with a few differences (Sea singer over Gano, Rages over boots and a change in gloves of which name I cannot remember). I'll do some more tweaking tomorrow, but I agree, 99% of the time I get the kill. I don't know about you, but alot of the time it seems to go so well until the core appears, at which point it becomes a nightmare.

Vamp just seemed to be a bit pointless - perhaps Penance with a Vamp scrimshaw might be even better however.

I've mainly been using a Vamp Scrim and the Aura (instead) whenever it is ready although from what I've seen of you and Jeremy Penance is better. I've killed it a few times with no food left and very low HP, I can only assume Vamp kept me alive for the kill. As for finding it tough when the Core appears I find it completely random. The fight is quite long so the Corp can screw you over at any point. I've had kills where I go through a lot of rocktails at the beginning and not so many at the end and vice-versa.

Oh and the reason I welfare with Gano is the fact the Servers have been terrible recently and I've lost items there thanks to DC's so don't risk any items you aren't willing to lose!

 

So I've decided to treat myself to a Pernix Cowl, Body and Chaps for my goal of 99 Ranged. I've found Survival at Arma to be a little difficult although I'm able to stay slightly longer each trip. Last night I managed to get my first drop:

Arma equipment is worth quite a bit at the moment (excluding the Buckler) so I hope to make some nice bank there on the way to 99.

What'r your stats at the moment sir? It seems as if everyone but you has their stats in their sig ;)

 

Forgot to update my Sig since the last one was removed for being to large, should now show my stats!

 

And here's a cheeky Arma Chestplate:

Annnnd I may have bought full Torva on impulse.

Impulse buys are the best sort of buys.

 

Been trying out a few different abilities at Corp - swapped Hurricaine for Quake and Kick for Smash. Kills go a tad smoother I think, but Quake is no where near as accurate as Hurricane. The 5% defence reduction is nice, but it's a lot harder to get rid of the core.

Hmmm next time I go I'll give these abilities a try. As long as you can put up with dodging the Core for the whole kill I don't think it matters too much whether it dies or not. The only real drawback I see is the fact you might not be able to use Assault as much although to be honest I don't think the Spear is accurate enough for this to make a difference.

 

Just finished my last Arma trip of the day and got 97 Ranged:

And here's another cheeky Chestplate:

Which brings the drop tab to the 100m marker. Here it is so far:

Totals at around 110m.

Beautiful tab!

 

And what are you banking effigies for?

Zomg, congrats!

 

Would you mind posting your setup for Arma? I've had sour luck doing it, but that was in Karils. I haven't tried Pernix yet.

 

Here's my set up:

 

hyh8.png

 

Admittedly I haven't brought Penance with me before so I may be over compensating with the restore pots. Oh and bring a yak full of food!

 

 

Your arma helm shits me to tears.

 

It deserves to be next to the Sigil.

After getting my TokHaar-Kal back I decided to do a bit of QBD (wanted to test out my Torva) and managed to get a Stabiliser and my first Dragon Kite:

Had a lot of fun there so the QBD will probably be my next port of call after I've finished at Arma. I might stay at Arma until I get every unique drop (hopefully I'll have more luck than CJ).
