How to fund 94-99 ranged? (pure)

[demby123]

I'm trying to get 99 ranged before the combat update arrives.

 

Frost dragons have been my main source of income, but due to the drop in prices, I'm not sure if it would be worth the time to collect the bones needed for 94-99 ranged red chinning at ape atoll.

 

I've narrowed it down to two choices.

 

I could go to revs and kill about 5-10/hour. I'm not sure of the droprate on items but I usually get them randomly every 50-75 kills or so.

 

The advantage to this is the low supplies used, as I rarely get pked while there(logout,tele,tank,ect). Typically I only use an inv of monkfish and mabye 50 mith arrows per trip. It's also possible to get lucky and pay for all of my chins in one trip.

 

Disadvantages are obvious, what I get as a drop is random and somewhat rare. Without the drops my profit is pretty much nil to a slight loss.

 

Or I could stick with frost dragons. I typically get 31bones/trip within 30-45 minutes with a cannon.

 

I get quite a decent amount of ranged xp (not exactly sure how much/hour) and the money is consistant, but bones are dropping and I fear even if they get up to 15k each, I may not be able to make the money needed to get 99 ranged within a reasonable amount of time, as I don't play as often as I used to.

 

Or could there be a quicker way to make the cash needed before the EOC update officially hits?

 

Here are my stats if it's any help.

1. Do one trip at frost dragons (or enough trips to gain 1 ranged level's worth of chins, depending on how much you can tolerate).

2. Spend all the profits on chins.

3. When you run out of chins, rinse and repeat.

 

I did this for 70-99 ranged on aviansies back in like 2008. Ranged aviansies, sold addy bars to buy chins, then went back to aviansies when I was out of chins. My cashpile never exceeded 2M.

 

Also, take it 1 level at a time. Don't try to get enough chins for 99 in one go or you'll get burned out.

31 bones in 30 minutes is abysmally low... what's your set up? Max kill rates are 240 an hour with range (void swift glocves and dragonbane bolts/cannon) and 180+ with melee.

He uses mith arrows for Revs so I assume he doesn't understand the concept of time...

If you're killing frost dragons that slowly, you probably need to use better bolts (runite preferred), use more ranging potions and pray eagle eye at all times (get the level for that).

 

@AHappySeeker: If you think that you should explain the concept or not post.

Time is money, son.

I use broad bolts atm, would ruinite be worth it?

 

31 is with 94 ranged using a pure setup, a tort and a cannon. Did anyone pay attention to my stats or (pure) in the title? void/swift/ dragonbane are all out of my reach.......

One problem with pures is that most decent equipment is unavailable to them (which is why a lot people transfer from their mains or rwt to fund their pures). Obviously you should avoid breaking the rules like that.

 

Honestly, the only (legal) way you can make more than 2m/hour with your stats is through merching. Frosts and revs aren't viable, I'm afraid.

 

Make sure you do herb runs and dailies, too (I think you can access most of them).

I think i'll go with this, If I pace it right i'll get a ranged level every two days or so, which is fine with me. Thanks. I'll also have to get into dailies, since I could never get used to doing them honestly.
