November 17, 201114 yr So would it be a waste to have someone do assist for my starved effigies or should i just do that to save bank space and get xp?Also where could i find the starved or higher ones at my levels fast? I'm looking for about 8 more i only have 2 right now xPThank you :)
November 17, 201114 yr you dont "find" ones higher than starved they all start that way until you feed them the required level of experience in each skill....
November 17, 201114 yr It would be a huge waste to not unlock them yourself. [hide]unbinding green's kidneys for ltk's heartdo you farm guam like me sir ltk[/hide]
November 17, 201114 yr Author It would be a huge waste to not unlock them yourself.Alright >.< well what monsters drop them frequently? o.o
November 17, 201114 yr Level 138 cave crawlers in Polly dung, TDs, Glacors, general slay monsters, etc.. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.
November 17, 201114 yr Look at it this way, doing 4 steps and using the Dragonkin lamp on a level 98 skill (example) means that the effigy has given you ~135k xp (90k for the 3 steps, ~45k for the lamped 98). Now obviously not always a good move sticking it on the 98. It can be a pain though to hoard the effigies until you have the levels for them, especially if you are going hunting for them specifically, because you may find yourself banking enough to fill your bank before you get close to having the skills you need. Personally, I got assists to open mine where I needed it, more so early on, because the idea of that lampo just rotting in my bank annoyed me. But that's a personal thing and I wasn't too concerned with the ramifications re: "wasted xp". As for where to get them, I'd definitely agree with cannoning 138 Crawlers as a very good means for getting them. Personally though, I just slayed to get mine. I averaged an effigy every 3.2 tasks (~106.5k xp) over the span of 3.5m xp slayer xp. But the viability of this is not necessarily the same, as our task sets would be vastly different with the level difference, but as I was trying for slay cape and have no where near enough money to cannon crawlers, it worked for me. Also, keep this page in mind for any skill boosts you can use to open up effigies by yourself. [bleep] OFF HOW ARE U SO [bleep]ING LUCKY U PIECE OF [bleep]ING SHIT [bleep] [bleep] [wagon] MUNCHER
November 17, 201114 yr Author Ok well depending on everything I may just get assists i'm not sure yet xp
November 17, 201114 yr I personally am banking mine as I plan on getting my skills up anyway and it is a good incentive to train all my skills. Plus giving away experience just doesn't feel right to me.
November 17, 201114 yr Monsters that drop charms also drop effigies. The chance of a monster dropping an effigy depends on its combat level. That means the expected number of effigies per hour is a function of combat level and kills per hour only. Since cannon and steel titan can do so much damage, kills per hour generally depends more on spawn rate than anything else. Crawlers are good because there are a lot of spawns arranged around the cannon. Tormented demons and glacors are good because there are enough spawns and they also profit. Mithril dragons are approximately equal to crawlers but require a very different kind of approach. If you want slayer xp, slaying is a good way to gather effigies.
