Sportz Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm thinking about starting up slaying again, but doing some mage and range to help get those skills up as well. What would be some decent gear (not overly expensive, either) that I could use? And what weapon/ammo and spells should I use?

Sy_Accursed Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Armadyl/KarilsRoyal Cbow/dual chaotics and crystal bow.Royal bolts are good cheap but strong ammo.Sagies are good thrown, but you dont need thrown really. Ganodermic > Ahrims/Subjugation.Chaotic Staff > Armadyl Staff > Greater Runic/Polypore/SoLSpells - w/e weakness ur fighting best spell you go in that element.

Quyneax Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Polypore strike requires a t75 staff which is worse than abs or cs. If you can get cs, that's likely a better bet especially for miths for example. At 85 magic you have access to all the blitz spells (ice requires 82 magic), so elemental weaknesses are covered there.

Sometimes Abs can be a preferable choice to cs if you have the funds just for pure lazy/invent saving mage due to it being an air staff.But that's not a huge boon for the price tag and really for most is probably only of huuuuuugggggeeee use if you are having trouble on invent space trying to tri/hybrid or maybe for questers going in blind on release day.

Sportz Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have no intention of going to QBD, so royal c-bow is out of the question. Can I still use royal bolts with any other c-bow? (It's been quite a while since I trained range, and I don't pay that much attention to updates.)

jayc3399 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Make the intention, Royal is hands down the best xbow in the game. I think you can use royal bolts with chaotics.

Royals do work with chaotic and arguably for momentum slayering dual wield > 2h still I believe so dual chaotics ain't so bad.Plus since their retweak of dual vs 2h I hear good things about the balance so I'd assume royal and dual chaotic aren't too far apart for bossing now either.

In terms of time invested/cost to use I still think royal wins, you can get one for what 600k now?

Hedgehog Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 300k tokens = 300k dg xp = less than half an hour of dging at higher levels You need to be able to make the money for a royal crossbow and charge it in less time than it takes to earn 300k dg xp, which is easily doable.

Hedgehog Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 You trade 300k tokens for 300k xp, not 3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The reasoning slightly more elaborate: You dungeoneer to get level 120 (or any level).At level 119/whatever, you have a lot of tokens, and you could buy that level you wanted, or you could buy chaotics.So you ask yourself: If I spent those 300k tokens not on xp, how much time would it cost me to get back the equivalent xp?Not a lot of time obviously. This reasoning assumes you value xp. If you were not interested in xp and had no tokens, it'd be different. For fun, you can also value other things, such as not getting prayer xp (this can be pretty hard in dungeons), in which case tokens can get a lot more expensive.

chenw Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I was thinking it completely the other way, I value tokens before I value the XP I'd get from it. Even so, the difference between Chaotics and Royal would be order of minutes over course of long hours 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.
