Some questions

[A_Gardener]

1) I am about 60k to 92 Herblore (where I will start stewing for Overloads) and I was wondering how best to get this, and levels afterwards. My main thought has been to make just the untradeable potions (in order to not 'waste exp') but I already have enough supplies for 400 Overloads, as well as 1k Super antifires, 1.5k Spec. restores and around 5000 doses each of Ext Attack and Strength. Should I make more of the untradeables? Or should I just focus on cheaper methods?

 

2) What would be the best way to train WC? I'm currently 88, and have just been doing curly vines in tandem with Firemaking. I've heard teaks and arctic pines are good exp; I have urns and juju potions I'd like to use up. If not, is ivy the best option? I have an inferno adze if it makes any difference.

 

3) What auras are worth buying? I currently have JOT, T2 Greenfingers and Surefooted, and T1 COTS, Quarrymaster, Tracker, Reverence. I was thinking about upgrading to T3 Greenfingers, but I've heard that COTS makes a large difference when fishing, so I am unsure.

 

Thanks :D

do you have those potions or do you have the supplies for them? The way you worded it isn't clear.

teams or Arctic pines for experience. Ivy for Afk. I'd stick to curly roots till you get the FM lvl you want and then move on to teaks with urns ans juju/low alch.

green fingers for sure if you farm torstols. Cots is good for rock tail fishing if you want afk vs c2 fishing or barbarian fishing.

 

Thanks :D

For herblore I'd make the untradables... you're going to need them anyway. And while the cost is high, you'll be paying one way or another.

 

I'd stick with Ivy since it's AFK but that's just preference.

 

As for Aura's, GF is always worth it.

Call of the Sea (any %increase skill aura) is best on a high attempt low success method (rocktails, gemstalls) because the % bonus is additive to the base success rate, rather than multiplicative (so a catch rate of 9% because a catch rate of 12-19%) which is a much larger increase than the listed "3%" appears to be.

 

According to data I've read, at rocktails with the highest (T4) aura the xp/hr goes up to about 100k/hr (although that is at 99..) COT depends on what you're catching a lot, and it's probably not that great for stuff like barbarian low-alch fishing. I would prioritize on getting greenfingers first :)

Tieszen: I already have the potions made, so I was just wondering if making more of them (when I am pretty sure I have enough for 99 Slayer/CBs) is worth it over making cheap summoning pots etc.

 

And thanks very much everyone :) I think I'm going to go for T3 GF and then decide after that. :thumbsup:

Only make more if it will balance out ratios to make more overloads. Otherwise it'd be better to use gp/xp or even clean herbs->ubf potions with a scroll of cleansing. 60 k xp is like 30 min with ahk and a free 600 k depending on the herb you pick.
