hatebringer Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I currently have enough loyalty rewards points to buy pretty much any aura, or for that matter any of the loyalty rewards, but I am not too sure which is best.I like the sound of the vampire aura as well as the special attack one(not sure on name) but then again i dont know what rlly is best. I have the tier 1 fishing aura already for some reason :S If I mostly slay as well as some boss hunting rarely which really is best? 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambler Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Vampyreism is helpful, basically a poor mans soul split. Penance eradicates the effects of soul splits smiting ability on you in pvp and if you own a divine, it cuts the prayer drain down to 1% This cansave you a fair amount of money in prayer potions, as the prayer gain is based on damage taken.The special attack restore I wouldn't reccomend, you get a set amount per hit.Jack of Trades is another good choice, as it gives you a nice free exp boost everyday for almost no work, which is helpful for skills you don't like training. ^^My blog of EoC PvM, lols and Therapy.^^My livestream- Currently: Offline :(Offical Harpy Therapist of the Mad[hide=Lewtations]Barrows drops: Dharok's helm x2, Guthan's helm, Ahrim's top, Hood and skirt, Torag's hammers, Karils skirt, Karil's top, Torag's helm, Verac's skirt, Verac's Flail, Dharok's Platebody.Dag kings drops: Lost count! :wall:4k+ Glacors, 7 Ragefires, 4 Steadfasts, 4 Glaivens, 400+ shards![/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Neither vamp or penance will really help with slayer since banking is rarely a problem. JoT is probably the best right now. You should probably dump the xp books into slayer if you really wanted. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatebringer Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 So honetsly vamp and penance are out for slayer, but lets say I wanted to camp tds or something else would neither of these be worth it since prayer pots are too expensive and soul split just counters vamp anyways? or would the free boost be possibly worth it? 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambler Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 You dont even need soul split for tds. :s Vampyreism is good if you want to do a slightly more damaging task ^^My blog of EoC PvM, lols and Therapy.^^My livestream- Currently: Offline :(Offical Harpy Therapist of the Mad[hide=Lewtations]Barrows drops: Dharok's helm x2, Guthan's helm, Ahrim's top, Hood and skirt, Torag's hammers, Karils skirt, Karil's top, Torag's helm, Verac's skirt, Verac's Flail, Dharok's Platebody.Dag kings drops: Lost count! :wall:4k+ Glacors, 7 Ragefires, 4 Steadfasts, 4 Glaivens, 400+ shards![/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerfrog Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Vampirism is great for reducing food needed for bandos solo/crashing... But on the other hand, it's not really needed at all. I always end a trip because i run out of special restores before i run out of food, and that's with 85 defense and without a uni. The only way i can see it being significantly beneficial to a crasher is if you fill your BoB with super energy potions and bring a fruit bat for papayas. Meaning you can make special restore potions as you go. But that's all a lot of hassle and potentially dangerous with the lack of food and a nasty range combo from graardor. It might be useful if you're fairly low level and do not have soulsplit or a bunyip for slaying, but still not worth the points, and you'll get one of these in no time. I regret not getting jack of trades from day one now. I've missed out on about 540k free summoning experience. Just FYI, wisdom SUCKS. 2.5% extra experience for half an hour a day. If you're training herblore with extreme range potions and getting 600k/hour experience (One of the highest xp/hour you're likely to get training most skills). You will only get 7.5k experience from the aura. Alternatively you can get 8.38k experience from jack of trades for level 92 herblore. Free. The only real cases where its better are when you get high xp rates at low levels, or very extreme xp rates that you can't keep up. E.G. low level prayer training with frost bones, and training summoning with high level charms you already have. But for both of these, achieving these extreme xp rates for half an hour a day, you'll be 99 in a matter of weeks. And then you're back to wisdom being useless. (Not to mention that very few people can afford to train prayer that way, and if you include the time taken collecting the charms, jack of trades is MUCH better for achieving 99 summoning.) I really didn't intend to write that much lol. I guess i got carried away as this has been on my thoughts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 At tds, you don't need healing except for a unicorn. If you use a steel titan Vampirism might be worth it. Either way, greater reverence probably saves more on prayer than penance as the whole point of tding is not being hit :P. Much the same applies to dks - you are not supposed to be hit very much, although you could always take extra damage for prayer points. Somehow that doesn't seem worth it :P. Vampirism is probably strong at tds+titan/dks+yak without ss+barrage/glacors without ss+titan etc., places where you don't need much healing and just that 5% can take you to 0 brews used.

hatebringer Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Okay thanks to everyone I ended up getting jack of all trades just because the xp everyday is kinda nice like bonus for doing almost nothing. I will save for another aura now but probably wont get anything new for awhile 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
