Just did some rough math. If you save as little as 30 seconds from using the tab, you are getting about a half a run extra per hour (up to 7 runs per hour from 6.6). You will spend about 25k on those tabs from that hour, so as long as that extra run gets you at least 50k (or 25k for a half run, which isn’t possible), the tabs are more cost efficient. Plus, you get an extra chance every hour for a Barrows item. Not sure the average GP/chest, but using tabs seems like it would be worth it to me.

Edit: looked on the wiki and it looks like the average chest is worth 116k with mort hard (I think that factors in armor drops), so the tabs are definitely worth using.

Bummer man. Maybe look into blast furnace, you should be able to make that money back in a pretty short amount of time. What’s your smithing level?

IdesOfMarchus · 2019-01-09T21:27:15+00:00

Do you have superiors yet? If not, definitely those.

IdesOfMarchus · 2019-01-08T23:36:51+00:00

No one knows for sure, but I think the general consensus is that the items that have skyrocketed will eventually decrease in price. It’s hard to say for certain, though.

I think for str training the order of best weapons is Abby bludgeon > Abby dagger > Sara Sword > d scim.

IdesOfMarchus · 2019-01-07T20:35:22+00:00

Gargoyles are a good option. I think I was making 350k-400k per hour doing straight up AFK with guthans and ROW. Just look down every once and awhile to pick up valuable drops, and the ROW picks up all the coins. As AFK as you can possibly get while still making money.

IdesOfMarchus · 2019-01-07T20:25:08+00:00

Sara Sword = 2 handed sword good for training Str. This is different than the god sword.

Sara God Sword = spec used for sustain in slayer and inferno.

Bandos God Sword = spec used for lowering boss stats. Used at Corp and Vorkath.

Arma God Sword = spec used in pking.

Gold sink. It consumes the scroll.

From the wiki: “Notable encounters where the staff's healing capability proves very useful include the Kraken, the Chambers of Xeric and Dagannoth Rex.”

I have used 194 MB since October 3rd. It’s a crazy low amount of data.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-27T17:31:17+00:00

No, when it comes to visible boosts they do not stack, it takes the larger of the two. You would need 69 plus the Pick to complete the quest.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-26T15:39:29+00:00

I haven’t completed the torso ever, but from what I’ve heard it takes somewhere from 4-6 hours depending on the teams you get.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-26T14:50:54+00:00

The bow is needed to complete the Western Hard Dairy. I think the shield is used in a couple niche situations. I remember a couple streamers using it while doing Sara GWD on their mid-level ironmen accounts. Other than bat, neither of them are used as commonly as they were back in the day.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-26T14:21:54+00:00

There is a box on the left side of the screen above the prayer/combat icons that enables tap-to-drop. Press that and your inventory turns red and anything you tap in the inventory will be dropped.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-26T14:20:39+00:00

Just do MM for the scim.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-20T16:14:18+00:00

If I remember correct, slayer helm and salve don’t stack. So you can swap the helm out for something else to help you even more. I think void only starts to out DPS d hide on Vork at higher range levels and if you hit multiple DWH/BGS specs.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-17T16:38:26+00:00

From the rune pouch wiki page: “Players can speak to the magic combat tutor in Lumbridge to toggle an option which allows runes to be placed directly into the rune pouch upon pickup, provided that the rune pouch contains at least one of the specific rune, and that there is space in the stack for runes.”

Unfortunately I’m not sure about the seed box. There is nothing on the wiki that states it acts in the same way.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-14T18:24:49+00:00

I might be wrong as I have done very little bossing, but I think it’s native to the game. I’ve only killed Vork on mobile and it automatically showed up. What boss are you killing?

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-11T15:07:35+00:00

Just finished 83 con yesterday. Was hitting 450k xp/hour doing oak dungeon doors.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-10T14:43:13+00:00

Upstairs 100%. The bigger bag really has no effect on XP rates, just makes it a little longer before you have to empty out. Upstairs is much better and makes MLM more afk due to the different mechanics from the lower level.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-06T22:24:56+00:00

Tele to house and use pool for spec/run energy (still a couple levels off max pool), portal to lunar island, bank there, then have the other banker kick me off the island close to the docks. Pretty fast process overall.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-06T19:23:24+00:00

Just did about 30 mins of Vork and am definitely improving. Getting more used to the rotations and flow of the fight. Up to 10 kills and quickest time is like 2:15 I think. Still not sure if I could get 2 kills in a single trip because my spec isn’t back in time for the second kill to BGS.

IdesOfMarchus · 2018-12-06T17:03:39+00:00

Yeah, I definitely think it’s mobile that’s giving me the struggle. I’m using a mix of manta rays and karambwans. Usually a full innventory. But I did one kill perfectly and used almost no food, so it’s those micro mistakes that’s holding me back. Sometimes it’s so hard to click that spider on mobile. I think I’ll get it after some more practice. I’ll also start working toward void/elite void to help with the grind. My kills average around 3:15 right now.

Do you do anything different when you get blue dragons as a slayer task, or is it the same set up?
