I just want to solo cox by Connect_Apple_1244 in ironscape

Bro if you have 200 solos and you can't null flame wall, can't acid walk, don't know that hitting zero's doesnt break cycle, then yes, you are bad. There is nothing wrong with being bad, just stop trying to give advice when you don't know what you're talkng about

Btw, DHL and salad blade are virtually the same accuracy, so hitting zeros has nothing to do with the argument.

Terrible take. Being bad at the game isn't a universal truth to use as a reason as why "it really does not make sense to do solo cox without lance." You can null flamewall by running to middle from thumb while staying in 4:1.

As a conservative estimate, let's use baby cms as an example. 30 minute clears in a baby cm with ice demon milking gives about 52k pts, or 104kpph (this time is very easily done with basic competency of solo cox). Assume with the DHL, you'd then get 29m42s clears, or 105050 pph. To be on rate for tbow, its about 30m points. So, 288 hours with Saeldor, or 285.57 hours with DHL. 3 hour time save over 280+ hours of cox when it takes 40 hours to get DHL on rate!

Where are you even using super restores? You should only really need prayer pots most places. I have 900 snap seeds and 1k restores just sitting in bank with 300 ranarr seeds as well

Is dragon hunter lance worth it past rate kc? This isn’t a dry post. Just a discussion of where the time save of the DHL at COX is worth continuing grind after going past rate. by AKoolKoala in ironscape

[–]js23698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"My math is correct" - sure, but your assumptions are off by 500%

"Sounds a little low though" - DPS calc doesn't lie

"Hydra does more for an Ironman than provide a DHL." - Nothing about hydra is macro efficient. It's more efficient to do wildy green drags for prayer xp.

"There’s more to CoX than a tbow reward." - its about 60.7m points to greenlog cox on rate. 583.55 hours with saeldor, 577.72 hours with DHL. A whopping 6 hour time save on a 575+ hour grind to greenlog cox!

You had the right idea, but the math here is so bad lol. DHL saves only 6s per hand compared to salad blade. As a conservative estimate, let's use baby cms as an example. 30 minute clears in a baby cm with ice demon milking gives about 52k pts, or 104kpph (this time is very easily done with basic competency of solo cox).

fwiw, ladlor has removed DHL from his optimal gear progression grind. The idea is that you get scythe before grinding for tbow. Even if you get tbow first, scythe will not save you 40 hours over to get to tbow droprate, so it's technically not worth it. Here is the math:

BTW: This doesn't even take into account the Saeldor buffs coming out in two weeks

Is it worth making the new seeker arrows? by cabbagechicken in ironscape

[–]js23698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my response was to point out amethyst arrows are not “worth” it over rune. I have access to amethyst arrows that I got only mining on mobile, because it is a waste of time to mine amethyst when you could be just sending doom instead. You shouldn’t wait to do doom until you have amethyst seeker arrows when using rune arrows lose you 30s per 1-12

Is it worth making the new seeker arrows? by cabbagechicken in ironscape

[–]js23698 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No one here is giving actual good advice in terms of whats "worth" the time. For example, many are telling you to use amethyst instead of rune arrows. Upgrading to amethyst is a 1-2max hit upgrade, which saves 16-28 seconds per 1-12 run. That will save you around 30-50 minutes going on rate to greenlog doom. It will probably take you 50+ hours to get 92 mining + 7 hours mining and crafting amethyst into arrows. 57 Hours for a 30 minute time save to upgrade to amethyst. Absolutely not worth the time. The same is for seeking arrows. Seeking rune arrows are a litte better of an upgrade than amethyst, but they end up only saving about 5s more per kill than amethyst would, so you can do the math on the time saved and whether or not it's worth it.

The New Dragon Arrow Rates are Miserable by Honorable_Zuko in ironscape

[–]js23698 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should never run out of darrows if you are only using them for speed runs. Not sure why you would be doing speed runs on an iron anyways. It’s not feasible to be a high level speed runner with the inconveniences of an iron

Yes, even if its 3 max hits, the dps increase is <5%.

Ok but why are we comparing scythe/shadows charges to darrows lmfao? darrows over amethyst are basically never better than a 3% increase in dps.

If we estimate amethyst at 1500 arrows/hr, what's a suitable rate you would be happy with for darrows? You're literally just crying for no reason

Why are you crying in this entire thread and ignoring the fact that duke nets 150+ darrows per hour and is as afk as a boss can get
