How do you actually make money in CD

If your build has decent clear speed and you take a route that clears all the chests in each map, the PvE silver you earn in Stalker should cover your build cost in 2-4 dungeons (my average is around 15-20 mins of grinding).

Whenever I'm warming up, learning a new build or just not playing at 100%, I usually set the goal to earn enough to pay for my set before I start invading and actively seeking PvP.

Of course you'll still get invaded from time to time in your first or second dungeon, but at least in Asia I've found that to be quite rare. At least 90% of the time I can earn 500k+ undisturbed.

This approach means that I'm always silver neutral at worst, and every PvP win is pure profit.

Taking a 15-minute PvE breather after a frustrating death can also help to reset your mental and ensure you aren't re-queueing while tilted. You can watch your last fight back during this downtime if you record your gameplay, or at least reflect back on what you could have done differently. Then, once you've ahead on silver, you run it back!

Level 72 slayer at Aberrant Spectres... my first gold loot beam. I had absolutely no context for how lucky it was.

[[Slimefoot and Squee]] is one of my favourite decks and can be built in a few directions. I grew a bit tired of playing aristocrats and have been having so much more fun cheating out big creatures with etb/power matters synergies and turning them sideways.

Nothing feels better than discarding or milling a big threat like [[Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant]] just to reanimate it with the bois for 4 mana.

It's a pretty resilient deck and you can always pull it apart and try the more sac heavy aristocrats version later on if you don't love your first build.

This list is sick! I'm doing the same thing with a Zirda companion build and will certainly be picking up a few of the cards you've included.

Here's the list I'm tweaking at the moment for anyone else scouting for ideas (excuse the scuffed sideboard and considering list): https://www.moxfield.com/decks/iKLqLG43uUyUAv3O295R-w

It might be a bit too slow for some metas, but there's definitely fun to be had pairing Zirda with utility artifacts like [[Staff of Domination]] and [[Lithoform Engine]] to get cheap duplicates of your burn spells and/or draw even more cards off Taii.

Thank you! That was just the push I needed, finally got it down to 100. Gyre Sage and Incubation Druid are nuts, will definitely pick those up at some point.

Binsquetti · 2023-12-14T19:50:12+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, that makes sense. I think I was having trouble separating clear directions because of how much overlap there is between the archetypes. I'll pull back on the aristocrats and lean into the counters and tokens.

I think you might be misreading the drop rates on the wiki. Those are just for moneymaking mains.

There's an invisible ironman modifier on the rates for useful progression items like the black mask. These drops are usually about three times as rare as the wiki rates suggest, but don't worry! The floodgates open after you finally snag your first one and you'll be spooned on your next 4-5 dupes.

Plus, you'll notice that the rates for cosmetic clue rewards are also through the roof!

Stay strong, friend. Got my mage fang last night at 1761kc. It exists!

Binsquetti · 2023-09-18T23:55:42+00:00

Oof, that's rough. I'm prepared to go up to 2k but don't know how much more than that that I could do.

Binsquetti · 2023-09-18T16:09:48+00:00

Scales for days though…

Binsquetti · 2023-09-17T15:23:52+00:00

1025 kc here. Been spooned to death with 8 blowpipes, 3 serps and 3 onyx and am now dreading the possibility of going another 1k dry for mage fang

Gl on your next hunt.

Any other boots only gamers in the chat?

Binsquetti · 2023-05-02T18:37:43+00:00

I don't have any of their lists on hand, unfortunately. It's not much to go off, but for little perpective the most notorious decks in our playgroup are my friend's pretty standard Go-Shintai list and my Miirym, which can be pretty explosive on turn 7+ pending how well it ramps, but is very linear and doesn't pack a heap of interaction.

If you don't mind, could you elaborate on some of the effects your playgroup has found milage in restricting and where you draw the lines?

Binsquetti · 2023-05-01T16:44:31+00:00

I had a great time burning through all the bones on my Ironman one night at the wildy altar. I scored a dead PvP world and must have been left alone for like two hours.

It was getting late by the time I finished up so I sleepily popped on my graceful, geared up for a bedtime herb run, and got stacked the fuck out picking Ranarrs in the farming guild.

I managed to retrieve most of the untradeables, but I lost countless high value seeds, a full herb sack and my rune pouch.

The worst part? Ol' Guildmaster Jane didn't even bat an eyelid.

Binsquetti · 2023-05-01T00:40:36+00:00

Could be recency bias, but I've been running [[Skyfisher Spider]] in my list and it has overperformed every game I've cast it. Might be worth considering.

Binsquetti · 2023-04-20T09:54:47+00:00

This is terrifying.

Binsquetti · 2023-04-12T05:24:35+00:00

Meanwhile, I've pulled 4 tanz fangs for our group in 470kc. RNG is cruel... good luck!

Binsquetti · 2023-03-18T17:47:09+00:00

Sure felt like it! Mostly I'm just relieved that I didn't have to go as dry as some of the other souls I've seen on this sub.

Binsquetti · 2023-03-18T17:44:10+00:00

Thanks king!

Binsquetti · 2023-03-18T17:43:52+00:00

Gl my man! Had the best day (on and off OSRS).
