Bursting at Rock Lobster Stuff+Experience

Well, I decided to try to earn a little more money to try to burst at rock lobsters instead of stringing amulets, because I get experience in different skills, and gold amulets are rising tremendously. I'm 9M xp to 99 magic. I have a few questions

What's the standard amount of runes to bring for my stats?

Approx what level can I get in HP and what Summoning level can I get with the charms?

Could I get 88-99 with 70m? Someone said easily could, and I think I should.

What's the experience per hour? Is it better than string amulets? (125k+)

Can you afk these fairly well, or is it fully attention....? =(

Its somewhat afkable and just so you know barrage is actually cheaper than burst and 70m will definatly get you the charms for 99 sum

Bursting rock lobsters requires constant attention, because you have to go gather all of the lobsters into a little pile every time you kill them, so the majority of the time you are walking around the tunnels getting their attention.

Did you even read what I posted? I'm talking about 99 MAGIC. And I have read that guide over and over again...

And I just checked the rune wiki calculator, and barrage is 600gp more per cast than burst...

Yes I read what you posted and 70m will get you 99 mage easy and the reason its cheaper is because you kill them so much faster but I guess if your completly going for mage xp I dont know if its cheaper and I am aware that the runes cost more money.

But it gets more xp/charms per cast.

well its quite easy to calculate the cost tbh. lets say you get 180 exp per cast. you need 9mil exp till 99. 1 cast is about 1100gp.

9 000 000 / 180 = 50 000

50 000 * 1 100 = 55 000 000

So you should have some money left over.

As for it being afk-able, i don't think so. I'm doing it atm and you need constant focus. If 1 lobster gets out of the safespot or respawns after being killed or if a dagganoth gets through and yourre afk you will most likely die or narrowly escape. But its nothing compared to the focus needed for Alching or Enchanting. You should get about 180k exp per hour if focused and i would suggest taking about 2k casts at a time.

I need some of the other questions answered...

well, i think you would get about 4mil - 5mil hp exp so that should put you on 97 or 98. Im not sure about the other charms but i know you get about 1 crimson ever 4 casts. so that means you should get close to 12k crimsons.

What's the standard amount of runes to bring for my stats?

 

Bring about 4K casts to start; After a while after you master pray conserving you can bring around 8-10K, but you'll get reallly bored without a break.

 

Approx what level can I get in HP and what Summoning level can I get with the charms?

 

You'll get about 3M hp xp, but with the xp from casting the spell itself, it'll be closer to around 2.5M.

 

Could I get 88-99 with 70m? Someone said easily could, and I think I should.

 

You should be able to, cost me about 80M from 82-99 (which I have banked, but not obtained). However, with high priced chaos and bloods, it may cost more now. You'll need 3.5M xp to 94 mage, after which you should switch to barrage. I think its about 180 xp/cast from bursts, so that's 19,772 casts of ice burst to 94, then 21,207 ice barrages to 99 mage.

 

19,772 ice bursts is 22,698,256gp - 24,280,016gp

 

21,207 ice barrages is 38,427,084gp - 41,523,306gp

 

Total is 61,125,340gp - 65,803,322.

 

What's the experience per hour? Is it better than string amulets? (125k+)

 

Its worse xp/hour in mage, but you get hp/summon xp so its well worth it.

You can semi-afk it bursting, but its much harder barraging. However, afking can be dangerous; I rol'd 4 times there (mostly due to a crappy connection but still...)

EDIT: I know this wasn't your question, but I also want to point out you won't get the charms for 99 summon via this. Maybe 96-97 at the most. And then you have to fork up the millions to pay for the summon levels themselves...

Ok thanks a lot <3 A few questions though... I'll get 3m hp xp...but then 2.5m from the spell...? I'm confused.

Also, I dont want 99 summon, just the charms for like 88 or so.

You technically would get 3M hp xp, but because casting the spell itself gives a base xp, you'll actually get lower xp than what you "should" get. Meaning instead of gaining 3M hp xp, your only going to get 2.5M.

Ice burst rock lobs to 88.

Smoke barrage rock lobs to 94.

Ice barrage rock lobs to 99.

Disregard every post above this one.

Seriously? I've never heard anyone said Smoke Barrage...I will if it isn't as expensive....

Do what muggi says

When bursting, use 9 spot if you make less than 2.2m an hour

When barraging, use 9 spot if you make less than 1.7m an hour.

What does that mean? How much more expensive is Smoke Barrage that Ice Burst?

Ah, I forgot about smoke barrage... I've heard that's actually a lot better than ice bursting from 88-94, never personally used it myself. Might wanna try that out. Not sure on the xp/cast for that though, so I can't give you a cost estimate.

What does that mean? How much more expensive is Smoke Barrage that Ice Burst?

Ice burst (ancient staff): 1,220gp

Ice burst (water staff): 1,156gp

Smoke barrage (ancient staff): 1,942gp

Smoke barrage (air staff): 1,898gp

Ice barrage (ancient staff): 1,958

Ice barrage (water staff): 1,862

Too bad blood runes are starting to go up
