glacors vs qbd

Featured Replies

I'm saving up for arma b staff and all 3 glacor boots atm. I'm wondering if it will be faster to camp glacors for all 3 boots and staff or if camping qbd for cash and buying them will be faster?

 

also for the gloves from tww. again is it faster to camp for the gloves or just qbd for cash.

 

i can get around 3-4m an hr with qbd.

Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature!

If you have shit luck, QBD.

If you have non-shit luck, Glacors/Automatons.

I have actually done both those activities, recently.

 

I camped Glacors, got Glaivens, Ragefires (both in the same trip), and 100 shards. I ended up buying the Steads.

 

I camped Automatons, got 1 Tracking gloves, 2 Cresbots, and 2 Pneumatic Gloves. Sold one Pneumatic and bought Static.

About how long did take for automatons?

Pretty insane luck!

My glacor count so far:

 

10 shards

2 pairs of steadfasts

 

Guess glacors are heavily luck-dependant, not the option you want for realiability.

I killed glacors for a while, 17 shards and no boots. qbd should be better money/hr with steady average price drops/loot while glacors are much less in average loot price per hour but boot drops being a higher price rare drop

I think you can assume 250k gp per QBD kill right (going off xpx's data of around 375 kills)

 

Average value of a glacor boots drop is (10.3+10.3+33.2)/3 = 17.93m, and at an estimated droprate of 1/350 for any boot that gives you 51k profit per glacor kill from boots.

20.1m ABS means you're getting around 200k per armadyl shard, so thats 20k per glacor from shards.

Additional drops add on maybe 5k-10k per kill at best, lets say 5k.

 

So you're getting about 75k gp a glacor kill in the long run. It also assumes you'll do the whole 100 shards for an armadyl battlestaff of course.

 

70 glacor kills an hour maximum and about 20 QBD kills an hour (more if you're better, drygores etc) , gives 5.2m/hr and 5m/hr respectively.

 

Personally I'd just go with whichever you enjoy more. With glacors there's no certainty over which boots you will or wont get, atleast if you did QBD you'd know you should have the money after 10 hours or so there.

Play Safe! smile.gif - Got useful information for the tip.it website? Post here!

I'd do a mixture of both. QBD for an hour for the gaurtunteed money and then glacors for the fun / shards.

Armadyl Drops : 4 Hilts; 3 Chestplates; 2 Chainskirts; 1 Helmet; 1 Buckler; 2 Shard 1; 2 Shard 2; 1 Shard 3

Nex : 1 Zaryte Bow

Kalphite King : 1 Drygore Rapier ; 1 Drygore Longsword : 1 Drygore Offhand Rapier : 1 Drygore Offhand Longsword

44 shards 1 pair of Glaivens.

 

A guy called propaz got 4 steads in one trip (this was ages ago) although he probably killed 10k+ glacors in total. QBD is better for steady income. (Although the shards are steady income, just all of the pay off is at the end)

I like doing QBD for a fun run or two. Though the profit's been declining lately. I can't believe I didn't cash in on QBD earlier on while I had the chance. Oh well, Nex's been going well. Got like 5 drops today, and bought that Virtus Wand/Book Set.
