[rooneyrules0]

This doesn't seem as good as your last tip, that was something no one knew, and was very effective and helpful. I personally just tele to fally an run, wow I wasted 2 minutes of my RS life? [sarcasm] OH NOES! [/sarcasm]

Yeah my last one was genius...

 

 

 

Problem is that it's usually pretty hard to find stuff that noone knows about, yet is revolutionary in its essence...

 

 

 

keep an eye out for my next tip tho, you never know how usefull it may be :)

[Ts_Stormrage]

Bump...

 

 

 

and, please move to archive of wisdom :)

good technique going to try that, but its still dangerous, maybe take a pick or axe for in the abbyss.

Could do, but then you have neither saw nor hammer in your inventory, due to you still nieding to wield the air staff, or have an air rune in your inventory.

 

 

 

This means having to draw 2 things from your tool store.

 

I dont have much experience with the abyss myself, but if haing either a pick or an axe in inventory speeds things up massivly faster then having a hammer in your inventory already, then by god, you did improve my idea :)

[Peronix]

I don't get what the heck the point is in bringing the ess. You could just bring a stack of like 100 earth runes in the same space the ess would take up.

 

 

 

Good idea, but I don't think it would be very fast, or very safe. Definatly cheap, but not very fast. It would probally take like 1:30 per run, which is really long. I think it would be more cost effective just to use the buter to bring the logs from the bank and saw them, because that only takes like 30 seconds for a cycle, and the extra minute you save could easily be converted into a nat crafting run, which is ~10K profit =)

[slayer9434]

Great idea you are amazing.

 

 

 

I love you for coming up with this :lol: , but at the same time i hate you for coming up with this because i didn't think of it :evil:.

[tripsis]

if you didnt want to risk a glory couldnt you tele tab to house, recharge prayer , and then use mounted glory to edge , as with runecrafting? and cool idea , never thaught of that :)

 

 

 

Yes, but any serious rcer wouldn't do that because time is always a factor. And loading your house/the extra, unnecessary teles all contribute to slowing you down and minimizing the xp/nats you make per hour :P

 

 

 

Pretty good guide. I don't make my own planks, but for those who do, it's a good idea.

[Pix869]

Amazing! I never would have thought of that. Thank you for the tip. :)

[tripsis]

this is a dumb question i guess but why flatpack?

 

 

 

So you don't have to sit there and click remove and rebuild when you could simply have them go to inventory

 

 

 

Actually, if you already have all your planks, building/removing is the fastest way. Flatpacking is much slower. But, if you are doing one load at a time then flatacking is faster. Why? Because you won't have to load the house, then load building mode. ;)

Well, I'm not exactly a "Serious pker" by any standards, however I find it rewarding that I may recharge my prayer and heal myself with the larder -- thus enabling me to abyss rc with a whip. >:]

Following my tip on logs and planking as well as getting to pestcontrol in no time. It is time for another tip.

 

 

 

Have you ever considered using Darklight? You get it in the "Shadow of the Storm" quest.

 

 

 

It's special decreases the Attack, Strength and Defense of your opponent, and is TWICE as effective on Demons. And it doesnt need to actually hit to have that effect.

 

 

 

To list a few creatures classed as demons:

 

Black Demons

 

Greater Demons

 

Lesser Demons

 

Abyssal Demons

 

ALL Thzaar creatures (up to, and including Jad)

 

Pyrefiends (and Icefiends)

 

Bloodvelds

 

Nechryaels

 

ALL the creatures of the Abyss

 

ALL the Pestcontrol creatures

 

Imps

 

 

 

And wherever possible, their Champion.

 

 

 

Now for some it is impractical to use. But when slaying Abyssal Demons, Bloodvelds, Nechryaels, Greater Demons, Lesser Demons, Black Demons, and Thzaar-Ket for their illusive drops, taking less damage, and doing more damage has a definitive advantage.

 

 

 

For me, it allowed me to melee Lessers and Thzaar-Ket on food alone, to kill between 10% and 20% more then unspec-ced.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

 

Tune in soon for yet another Stormrage Tip.

[Potter_Pkr]

Very nice, but I thought you cant use any weapons or armour on the Lesser Demon Champion?

[Ts_Stormrage]

Very nice, but I thought you cant use any weapons or armour on the Lesser Demon Champion?

 

 

 

As I said, wherever possible... the imp champion it can be used on, for example...

 

 

 

[edit]

 

I obviously overlooked things, as you cannot use special attacks on the imp champion :(

 

 

 

So just regular creatures then :)

[primadog]

which do you recommend, darklight spec or dd against demons, w/o demons?

 

 

 

How much does it drain? 10%? 20%? by points?

entire bar if i remember right

[Leesters]

Nice, never thought about abby demons.

 

 

 

Questions....

 

 

 

1) Who do you talk to if you've used your darklight in your house and don't have one anymore? Or just plain lost it. How do you get another one?

 

 

 

2) Is there a special needed to have the weakening effect, or is it just when you have it armed?

1) Go back to the Sir knight person in varrok castle (guy who tells you about silverlight) he will lend it back for 1k

 

 

 

2) If memory serves correct then you need to weild it and use the special.

There's a 50% drain.

[Ts_Stormrage]

You can get the Darklight / Silverlight back from Sir Prysin in Varrock Castle (groundfloor).

 

 

 

The Darklight spec uses 50% bar. This causes a 5% drain on normal creatures, and 10% drain on all demons. Their Attack, Strength AND Defense are lowered by this percentage. So you take less damage, and inflict more.

 

 

 

I recommend you use the Darklight on the more powerfull demons, since it is a sure thign to take effect. The DDS is good when you hit often anyways.

 

 

 

You should test it out yourself to see which is better, but generally taking less damage while still doing more damage, is better then just doing more damage.

1 Darklight spec = 2 DDS specs.

 

 

 

In 2 DDS specs, you do an extra 72 damage MAXIMUM.

 

 

 

The Darklight spec lasts roughly 5-10 minutes, depending on your monster's level. Let's say on average the Darklight spec lets you hit 1 more than usual, every 4 hits. In 10 minutes, you will hit approximately 200 times. That's 50 additional damage. This is a very CONSERVATIVE estimate. In addition you will recieve less damage.

 

 

 

Darklight > DDS when you're facing a high-level monster.

[Jard_Y_Dooku]

Just use the Darklight special, then switch to a different weapon...

[wakka102]

you'd be better off using that special with a dds.

 

 

 

might be ok for high lvl monsters and low level players, but if you have guthans your ok :thumbsup:

[InkofDeath]

so this is good if:

 

 

 

you spec with it take it off or spec again(two specs=20%???)and then take a whip to it?can u switch weaps?
