Ganodermics vs. Frosts

[Auror]

How much do Ganos give profit? What about Frosts? Are Ganos or Frosts better for profit? What about the gear? What gear should I use at frosts, and what at ganos?

 

I am going for 99 Slay, I have 19k cballs atm, but I need more money to get more cballs for slayer.

 

So, any advice?

I've been averaging about 2m an hour at ganodermic beasts. The upsides are that they are very AFKable, but require some understanding of your favorable safespots to be AFKed. Also ganodermics are a slight wildcard for gp/hour, but generally you can expect 2m an hour and upwards of 3m+ if you get a lucky run from drops such as papaya tree, palm tree, yew tree, mage tree, snapdragon and torstol seeds. You're staple profit will be from ganodermic flakes and should get at least 1m+ an hour in just ganodermic flakes.

 

Frosts from what I understand are not AFKable, but profit-wise are very consistant.

With top gear (such as bandos, rapier, overloads, turmoil, cannon and yak) Frosts are around 200 kills/hour, which comes to about 3.3m from bones alone. Add 200-400k from other drops and you have 3.5-3.7m/hour. But then you have the cost of the pots and cannonballs. I'd say with current prices and top gear, Frosts are around 2.8m-3m/hour.

With minimal gear and effort at 99 magic (polypore staff, no magic boost, void mage for pray and no repairs), I've been consistantly averaging 68 kill per hour at ganos and I've noticed an average of 18 flakes per beast. I didn't really care to pay attention to spores, but I think those are around 3k per hour, seeds are wildly variable, but overall it seems to be an average of a bit over 2m sometime sover 1m higher with good seed drops.

 

If you bother to bring a wolper, that will go up notably.

 

I don't have any personal experience with frosts, but I have been told that they require a good deal of attention and effort, and with the other's profit numebrs for frosts that does not seem to be at all worth the extra effort when you would only sometimes make more, and other times make less than you would at ganos in the same amount of time.
