Nero Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Wow great tip, I'm definatly going to use this. Taking two seconds to bank, spec, and bank is worth it I think. And anyway you can take it out in the process of filling your pouches. Withdraw excalibur, withdraw all pure essence, click x, click excalibur then on three smaller pouches, then spec, click your pickaxe again, bank, put it away, get out more ess, fill up giant pouch, get more ess, then go. Not really that much more than what I was already doing. You can also get duplicates of excalibur, so you can just place it right beside your pure ess in the bank for quick access : Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deciever2 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Might work, but most people who abbysal craft are worried about speed not safety. Otherwise they wouldn't use the wilderness in the first place!

gonzlar Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I used this method years ago when my combat was still within the 70s-90s. Its very useful to use while strength training with a drag scimmy to use an actually useful spec. The self-proclaimed king of bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaioke Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 If you use pouches, you'll need to bank twice anyway. The first time, take out an excalibur, and essence, get out of bank, use special. Then put everything in the pouches then bank the excalibur and take out the rest of the essence.

la la la Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Defense at the abyss is overrated. I am level 93 and wear no d hide. I have never died to abyssal monsters, and only get pked due to my stupidity, not my defense level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyyankees588 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 now that i come to think of it, its a good idea. I don't think ill use it much though since for me it would just be a waste of time Getting another sig[removed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 i hope you didnt realise this recently. plus if its (i think) 10% added to def its 10 temporarly lvs. i havent read page 2 as i am what we call, "the lazy guy" back on topic, "IF" you could dual weild weapons (which most likely will neaver happen) then the excaliber could be a good usage, ex in 1 hand, pick in other.

Freshwacka Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 99% of time when you get abyss pked, you die to magic attacks. Increasing your magic level by 10% isn't going to stop an ice barrage from holding you. 99 Crafting Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freesia Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 I remembered in the very first post I stated the extra 10% def helps against ABYSSAL MONSTERS, not pkers. Pkers are another issue... Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

atestarossa Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 as it has been said... it takes a little longer, but really, it's just to withdraw it at the same time as you fill pouches, it's four clicks more, not really that much... but still, i don't really need it :P could be good for lower level runecrafters and as the bar don't recharge so fast, what about just boosting your defence every four trips, at the same time you change to a new glory... it would not take that long you know :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheZephyrus Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 99% of time when you get abyss pked, you die to magic attacks. Increasing your magic level by 10% isn't going to stop an ice barrage from holding you.It will stop them from dds-ing you quite as consistently, and if you're really lucky then it might let you live to run away. But a hassle, and kinda hoping for too much considering how most pkers hit. Click (above) for my blog!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj926 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 super def pot... waiste? i mean RCing thru the abyss is not really hard... why waiste potions and time for excalibur specials. when you can just eat food occasionally. Normal def potions sell in the Fighter's Guild for small amounts of coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a hassle, and kinda hoping for too much considering how most pkers hit. OK... Here's what it comes down to though. The def + is what... 10 at most? Let's just say 15 for the argument. Most people don't wear helms or capes and such when rcing. Most people wear generica. This is fine... but take into mind that a rune helm which costs 25K-35K increases your def by 35-50 (I dunno what it is), an addy helm does at least 30... A defender gives you around +20 in def... and you can glory and pick up the bugger in time anyways if you die. You could wear mith boots, black boots, or climbing boots. All of these give nominable boosts in defence that is more than 10. (well, except climbing). And I always drop my miths =/ rune gloves give what, +8 to def? The legends cape gives +7 in all it's def stats. An emerald amulet (yes, they still exist) probably gives you the same + to defence. All of these give thesame boosts as taking the time out to special with that thing. Just consider that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meol Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 That would mean that it'd mean the same if I had level 89 def or 40 def and I used rune legs (slash def +49)? This signature is intentionally left blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just consider that.If you wear all that rune defender, metal boots and stuff you'll be facing quite some magic defence penalties. Remember that you are suppose to be wearing good anti-mage armour. The extra defence from the special simply help against rangers, ddsers and abyssal monsters, which is not as important as your main threat when abyss rcing- which is teleblockers Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

PhelimReagh Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Despite what all the invincible superheroes are on here are saying, that boost would be quite helpful. A 10% bonus still makes a difference. Especially when you have a glory, full black and your pouches on the line. It helps stop the spell from working, and it will help against DDS specials. It could be the difference between banking your items or dying outside the teller window. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicrune007 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 going throguh all that hassle of unbank-spec-bank i dont think it is worth it lol using the bank to get the sword takes about 10 seconds. Unless your doing millions of ess, 10 seconds is not a lot. wont that 10 sec be ALOT? 1000,000 ess is like 33k trips so you take 33k*10=330k seconds=5.5k mins= 90 hours .. thats alot Hey Nicrune007 , Whats Your Username? 99 Ranged on 2/6/07 99 Hit Points on 9/5/08 99 Defense on 26/4/08 99 Attack on 14/2/09 99 Strength on 25/2/09 99 Slayer on 13/9/09\:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
