The_Fray Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I need roughly 5mil slayer experience. Assuming I cannon whatever is cannonable, what is an estimate on how many I will require. Factoring everything how much money will I approximately lose? I know these are tough questions but I am just looking for estimates. Unfortunately I am pretty low on funds so I may have to so some money making. Most of my slayer experience was gotten about 2 years back so I do not quite remember how many balls I used up either. As far as my equipment, assume I use max strength boosting gear + overloads + rapier on all tasks. (Not sure this should make a difference) EDIT: It's 1am I will check answers tommorow and if you have any questions about anything I will answer them as well.

Aiel Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 you roughly break even slaying atm at max efficency. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Vezon Dash Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 you roughly break even slaying atm at max efficency. I'm not questioning you here, but how do you get close to breaking even when cannonballs are 421 gp each? I'd like to know personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Fray Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 you roughly break even slaying atm at max efficency.Any estimates on how many c'balls I will need, I am also finding it a little hard to believe that I will end up breaking even.

Lord Paul Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Well, that's about 130 hours of slaying and using Vex's average over 3.6m xp, you are looking at around 1150 cannonballs/hr. So in total, you need to buy ~150k cannonballs for 63m. Ouch, they have gone up a ton. Working on max and completionist capes. 2435/2475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only tasks that I would think you could break even cannoning would be black dragons, abberant spectres, and dagannoth kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quyneax Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It depends a bit on what you are slaying. Ex. max efficiency slayer would include banking bones at dragons typically (certainly if you have a yak). There are four kinds of dragon you do (iron, steel, mithril, black) and all of them profit. Dark beasts may be better slayed in Kuradal's at current cannonball prices, but you need ranged xp. Don't forget the 63m spend on cannonballs saves you time and money chinning as well ;). Ice strykes also profit. Spectres, hellhounds, dagannoth, terror dogs and suqah are a loss.
