Yharbo Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 well i have 3k airs (bought them from 6-13gp each) and i have 1.5k minds(littlemore) and i am wondering if i should bump it up to 3k minds to cast earth strike or keep the 2:1 ratio and go with fire strike...anybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishepp Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 It depends on whether you go for speed or cost effectiveness. Obviously fire strike is costing you about 50% more than earth strike, for faster xp. It really depends on whether you mind spending that little bit extra for the speed. If you want to know what I would do, I would fire strike. But thats just me. 89/99 farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenw Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 if you really are strapped for cash, earth strike would be good enough You have to find yourself to draw a line between cost and speed. I would find that Fire strike is sufficiently faster to allow me to invest in the airs, however i cannot see myself investing in death runes over chaos when on members for example they have a 1 hit difference. 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.

huge_lion Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 have you done witch potion and imp catcher allready? my mage lvl was as low as yours, so then I did those 2 quests to have more options. or buy wizard mind bombs in the bar in falador. that way you will have an higher level and you can increase your level faster because the more difficult spells give you more xp. hope this helps (a bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goobore Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Damage dealing spells give mage exp as MageExp = BaseExp + 2*HitDone So if you assume that you make an average hit of Max/2, then for Earth strike you get: expected earth strike Exp = 9.5+2*(6/2) ~= 15 and for Fire strike you get: expected fire strike Exp = 11.5+2*(8/2) ~= 19 And just FYI, Curse always gives 29 mage exp and HP exp is always HitDone*4/3. So, your expected Earth strike HP exp is 4 and expected fire strike HP exp is 5.3 Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
