Black Ibis


Poppe

Recommended Posts

To start, I'm on the hunt for Black Ibis. I have 99 thieving already and I'm nearly 45Mil thieving. The catch is I have a pretty big hatred for pyramid plunder so this hunt has been quite annoying. Most of my thieving experience has actually come from dwarf traders, where ibis is actually somewhat useful. I want Ibis because I'm a bit of a sucker for costumes and generally like to have any skilling item set when doing skills (lumberjack, constructors, etc).

 

I have a few questions about gathering Black Ibis:

  • When looting urns, do you get a piece of Black Ibis plus whatever else would normally be in the urn (golden statue, stone steal, etc)?
  • I've heard of people just looting the first few floors to try and grind out gathering Ibis. My question is why? Is the chance for Black Ibis the same for any urn, no matter the level of the floor it is in?
  • Is there any estimated experience per item rate? (I'm perfectly fine with ballpark numbers)

 

Quick searches haven't really answered these questions so was hoping you'd guys be able to help ^_^. My main question is the first, because I normally rush through with my inventory full and I usually take time to notice each item that is on the ground and I'd love if Ibis comes by itself so I don't have to worry about a statue hiding say the boots.

No, you don't get the normal loot.

Don't bother, it's more efficient just to do your last 2 rooms.

1 piece per 8m xp according to rs wiki. I'd ignore that though and just not worry about your rate.

I saw that rate on wiki and cannot say I believe it :P, seems way to high compared to what I've seen from other people. Thank you though for the information, really happy to hear I don't have to worry about other loot hiding Ibis.

You get a notification when you find a piece. It's pretty hard to miss.

When you're watching a movie and opening urns you don't really pay much attention. Message could get closed fast when you're clicking around. That's what I'm scared of anyway. :P.

Good luck.

I've been lucky enough to get 2 of the Black Ibis Pieces, the Mask and the Boots. I got the boots at level 77 Thieving and the Mask after I achieved 99 Thieving, at 13.7M XP.

 

I did manage to get a Sceptre of the Gods at level 92 Thieving, but lost it due to the destroy glitch it used to have if you had a full inventory. I managed to get a second one after they had fixed the glitch at level 98 Thieving.

 

After achieving 99 Thieving, the next 700k experience it took to get the Mask was obtained solely from the first three rooms in Pyramid Plunder. I could generally get through all of the urns in the first three rooms, and a few into the fourth room. It's horrible experience, just breaking into the 30k experience per hour region, and I wouldn't recommend it at all. I now have almost 16M Thieving XP and have yet to get a third piece.

 

The Sceptre of the Gods is a must have for attempting to get the Black Ibis pieces, otherwise you're going to spend the rest of your life there trying to get the set. I've recently given up on trying to get the set because although I love the looks of the set, I really can't be bothered with Plundering any more.

I... I'm 99 thieving and could have 3 pieces if I didn't miss mask on floor... Somehow I missed the message cause I was clicking too fast >.<

I'm 96 thieving and I have 3 pieces. I really hope I didn't miss my top and not notice it.

Does it only show up on Adventure's log if you pick it up/have it in inventory?

Ouch... I would be so mad. :(.
