Ascension Crossbows

I'm curious to know if anyone has any drop rates on the signets/keystones. I'm trying to figure out if I value my time at 4 mil per hour if it's better to DiY to get the pair or to just grind the cash and buy them.

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

Supposed to be 1/64 for keystones and signets. Not sure if keystones are currently still more common.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Here are my results:

Keys Used/Purchased just means keys "used", but includes keys I lost to deaths. Percent of keys used total is just a percentage of how many used on that boss, vs. everyone else. Same thing with costs. 27m from non signet loot :o

I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001. Comped 4/30/15 

My Araxxi Kills: 459::Araxxi Drops(KC):

Araxxi Hilts: 4x Eye (14/126/149/459), Web - (100) Fang (193)

Araxxi Legs Completed: 5 ---Top (69/206/234/292/361), Middle (163/176/278/343/395), Bottom (135/256/350/359/397)
Boss Pets: Supreme - 848 KC

Note, that table is from before they corrected the problem that signets didn't drop if the drop pile was on a grating (or so I believe), which has been corrected.

Oy vey, don't remind me.

 

^^ That's a good point, I forgot to mention that. When I killed them I swear I was one of several victims to the glitch. But yes, there were two glitches. 1) The signet would not drop immediately, but instead would drop a few seconds after, and wouldn't show up on minimap. 2) When killed over a grate, the signet would not appear. Apparently it literally fell through the grate.

edited out nonsense.

 

So it's cheaper to make them yourself possibly.

Just make sure you have a lot/can make a lot of extra money, as you cannot 'cash in' your drops until you finally make the crossbow.

 

Personally, I wouldn't bother as it's very susceptible to bad luck, and you will pretty much need to earn most of the money required to outright buy an ascension crossbow in the first place, in order to pay for keys+dcbow and supplies.

In general I would save the keys till you have large quantities of them, then use them...

Only if farming keys is your highest income. If you have like 400m+, you should buy keys and kill the bosses for your slayer task.
