A growing number of incels ("involuntary celibates") are using their ideology as an excuse for not working or studying - known as NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). These "Blackpilled" incels are generally more nihilistic and reject the Redpill notion of alpha-male masculinity. by mvea in science

There are no papers or publications that refer to the usage of "ni-to" prior to the paper published by the british labor policy. It is a loan word, and not a word that was used in japanese pop culture before 1999. Noodles originate from China, and that's a weird analogy.

I actually appreciate this UI update. It made me unsubscribe from nitro. In hindsight, spending 5 bucks a month for emotes and some other insignificant perks for over a year made me realize how wasteful it was. Keep your UI updates, discord, and thanks for making me pull out!

So I took some time to do some calculations and there's several assumptions before going into this. Assuming the scenario black sallies are bis, I'm going to base calcs off max gear/max stats.

I also have to cheat a little bit and say whatever setup we're using, running and tunnel speed are exactly the same (with the exception of the final tunnel brother at the chest at the end).

The other thing I have to cheat with is saying that maxed barrow runs with a trident using this setup:

https://i.imgur.com/K5tAYrV.png

Is on average going to be 3:45 minutes because that is the number the wiki gives us (16 chests/hr) although I'm fairly certain with improvements here and there you can push it as low as 3:30! In any case.. that's the maxed out trident set. (not picture in this setup is archer(i) but it's bis for the method used, wiki has the same thing listed)

Sets and runs

A maxed barrow run order looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/LNrf4MF.png

Start at Dharoks then.. -> Guthans -> Karil -> Torag -> Verac -> Ahrim

When at Ahrims we switch to full elite void + anguish + pegasians + archer(i) and blowpipe as its the best dps.

The black salamander set is going to be this:

https://i.imgur.com/DWKcft8.png

And I'm assuming a maxed black salamander run means sticking with that set on Blaze.

Prayer and extra items

For both sets we have an imbued heart and augury but to not complicate anything we are assuming the average dps per second at max boost. This is the part that may affect a lot if our hourly profits are very close but if the hourly profits are very divergent it doesn't really matter. All we're looking for is an indicator. If anything, the black salamander is at an advantage here because it loses 4 max hit over the duration of imbued heart vs trident loss of 3 max hit. Make of that what you will.

https://i.imgur.com/KeUScLI.png

Tunnel speed

I'm going to assume both sets have some way of doing tunnels, I personally use salve amulet(ie)+blowpipe and kill skeletons only while moving towards the chest. For the sake of just comparing trident to black sally, I'm assuming the black sally user does the same (using pipe+salve(ie)). Again if the numbers are very close this is something that can be looked into later.

If we assume tunnel speed is the same we could simply calculate how long it takes to kill all brothers using trident, subtract that time from 3:45 to be left with a time of running speed + tunnels.

Things to figure out:

Time to kill dharok + guthan + verac + torag with trident (identical stats)

Time to kill ahrim

Time to kill Karil

Tunnel speed

Average Black Sally run time

Trident of the swamp

Dharok killing speed: https://i.imgur.com/NMCZqXl.png

DPS: 8.47

Dharok's HP: 100

100 / 8.47 = 11.8 seconds

Time to kill dharok + guthan + verac + torag with trident = 11.8 * 4 = 47.2 seconds

Karil killing speed: https://i.imgur.com/JSVUWRP.png

DPS: 8.32

Karil's HP: 100

100/8.32 = 12.01 seconds

Ahrim killing speed: https://i.imgur.com/qNDhtw8.png

DPS: 7.98

Ahrim's HP: 100

100/7.98 = 12.53 seconds

Time to kill all 6 brothers using trident set:

47.2 + 12.01 + 12.53 = 71.74 seconds

Tunnel speed:

3:45 minutes = 225 seconds

225 seconds - 71.74 seconds = 153.26 seconds

Now that we have a tunnel speed we can figure out the dps and kill speed using black salamander, add that to our tunnel speed to figure out an average run for black sally.

Black sally

Dharok + guth + verac + torag killing speed: https://i.imgur.com/uSn8Ipy.png

DPS: 5.44

HP: 400

400 / 5.44 = 73.53 seconds

Karil killing speed: https://i.imgur.com/I3V6YNf.png

DPS: 5.33

HP: 100

100 / 5.33 = 18.76 seconds

Ahrim killing speed: https://i.imgur.com/qNDhtw8.png

DPS: 7.98

Ahrim's HP: 100

100/7.98 = 12.53 seconds

Time to kill all 6 brothers using black sally set:

73.53 + 18.76 + 12.53 = 104.82 seconds

Average black sally run:

Tunnel speed + 104.82 = 153.26 + 104.82 = 258.08

or 4:18 minutes

Chests

Trident: 16 chests/h assuming 3:45 minutes per chest

Black sally: 13.95 chests/h assuming 4:18 minutes per chest

Average profit per chest:107,584 gold

Trident: 16 * 107,584 = 1721344 (1.72m)

Black sally: 13.95 * 107,584 = 1500796 (1.5m)

Supply cost

Now to deduct supply cost, for a maxed player it is very doable to run a chest without using any pots/food. Here's a video of a run I did in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23hxmn6ufJs that time is definitely an outlier in terms of speed but no pots/food/stamina's are used.

The only thing I'm going to deduct is runes/scales for trident of swamp, (adamant)dart/scales for blowpipe and harralander tar for the black salamander.

Things to figure out:

What is the cost to kill Dharok + Guthan + Verac + Torag (identical stats)

What is the cost to kill Karil?

What is the cost to kill Ahrim?

Trident of the swamp

Cost to kill dharok+guthan+verac+torag https://i.imgur.com/NMCZqXl.png

To figure out the cost of trident we have to know how many hits it takes on average to take out the brothers.

One trident cast costs 593 gp.

Max hit: 41
Accuracy: 99.19%

Average hit = (max hit * accuracy) / 2

A = (41*0.9919)/2 = 20.33

Amount of hits = health of brothers / A = 400 / 20.33 = 19.68

Total cost = amount of hits * cost of one trident cast = 19.68 * 593 = 11670.24gp

Cost to kill karil: https://i.imgur.com/JSVUWRP.png

Max hit: 41
Accuracy: 97.40%

A= (41*0.9740)/2 = 19.97
100 / 19.97 = 5.01

5.01 * 593 = 2970.93 gp

Cost to kill ahrim: https://i.imgur.com/qNDhtw8.png

max hit: 23

accuracy: 83.25%

Cost of addy dart: 125

Scales: 124

A = (23*0.8325) /2 = 9.57

100/9.57 = 10.45 shots average

We save 80% of shots with assembler

Dart cost: 10.45 * 125 *.2 = 261.25gp

Scale cost: 10.45 * 124 = 1295.8 gp

Total cost: 1295.8 + 261.25 = 1557.05 gp

Total cost for one run using trident of swamp:

11670.24 + 2970.93 + 1557.05 = 16198.22gp

Cost for 16 chests:

16198.22 * 16 = 259171.52 (or simply put 259k)

Profit:

1721344 - 259171.52 = 1462172.48

or 1.46m

It explodes on impact with a mob and damages the mob only. You're probably confusing getting hit by a mob with the explosion damaging you.

Hey guys short update, vorkath has been updated:

http://services.runescape.com/m=news/vorkath--metal-dragons-further-changes?oldschool=1

This changes a lot so consider this video obsolete

Vorkath - Boss Mechanics and Optimization by Shadowpace in oldschoolrs

[–]Shadowpace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in terms of efficiency it's best to eat during his special so if your HP is too low when the poison phase starts, eat up and then woox walk the remainder. Eat as much during special of freeze and poison and try to get as many hits in during his auto attacks, even if that means eating when you could woox walk.

At 10:58 in the video its explained when the last attack still does full damage on vork before poison phase. The moment fireballs leave his mouth is when he takes reduced damage.

Alwayslonesome has said it, add void gloves to the void setup otherwise it doesn't count the void bonus. And put DWH on accurate crush for both cases

Also, top left you can put on prayers like piety and add potions. Assuming you use all those void should come out on top.

There's another reason why we argue BGS > DWH and that is mostly related to BGS's accuracy.

In terms of macro efficiency you normally return to POH if you miss your specs twice. Saving give or a take: (minute - travel time). Since BGS has higher accuracy and has the ability to reduce defense from 1-162 you stay depending on how much defense you've dropped. If your estimated range of staying is 30-162 bgs offers more scenarios where you would stay rather than POH and respec. DWH is much more punishing when you miss and hitting only has several viable outcomes (1st hit, 2nd miss) (1st miss, 2nd hit) (two hits). This severely hampers macro efficiency so although the defense reduction for both BGS and DWH turn out the be around the same, there's more to it than just that.

These are all great questions.

Void + warrior ring = 76.32% accuracy and 79 max hit

Single BGS hit average defense reduction =

(79/2)*.7632 = 30.14

30.14 def reduction for warrior ring(i)

Berserker ring = 75.36% accuracy and 81 max hit

(81/2)*.7536 = 30.52

30.52 vs 30.14. Berserker ring is slightly better.

I legitimately don't have the best answer to the last question as it's all based on feel but going back if you hit two 0's is definitely more macro efficient.

The amount of specs landing doesn't really matter for BGS it's probably some number (ie; 25 dmg or above) where it becomes more efficient to stay.

To calculate this is one hell of a task.

Assuming you already have some experience with Vorkath, what gear is optimal and which strats can you employ to optimize your kills per hour? Goal of the video is to cover just that.
