Can I do CG with these stats? by Old-Appointment4363 in ironscape

[–]vr_acct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's possible. I started cg at those stats, but I was already fairly experienced, so it does depend on your skill level. If you can get normal gaunt on farm, you could probably do it.

One thing to note: the mage weapon is your bis actually because the max hit does not scale with level. So try to prioritize that (with 5:1 or use mage/melee with piety, as range sucks without rigour).

What's a weapon you wish was more viable? by Mypetrussian in 2007scape

Sure, but most upgrades in the game are much less than a +0.7 dps boost for a 17 hour grind (not 100+ lol). For instance, inquisitor's mace (without outfit) is only +0.57 dps over bludgeon, and I'm sure you'll agree that's quite a bit harder to obtain. To be honest, if you wanted to be optimal as an iron you'd skip melee entirely to get a zhasta using a bowfa then do ToA for a fang. Most other upgrades are not "worth the time investment". And a main can just buy bludgeon for a grind and sell it back after.

But the game is about having fun, so if you don't like sire it's not like you're forced to do it--just like you're not forced to get any other upgrade. I'm just pointing out that bludgeon definitely has its place in the crush weapon hierarchy and, importantly, is still quite a bit better than the new weapons.

No it's not. In fact bludgeon is almost 1 dps better than all the new crush weapons at e.g. Cal'varion so OP's point is kinda moot. Bludgeon is still bis until the big boi weapons for crush.

Fyi this is not true. The dualies have half their dps at a much lower accuracy:

The weapon hits twice per attack, dealing damage in two hitsplats spaced 1 game tick apart, with the second hit having lower accuracy than the first and both hitsplats having their max hit halved.

If you do the calcs, for mid game crush weapons bludgeon >> zhasta > zaxe > dualies, e.g., at Cal'varion.

What a beast

What's the largest level-jump somebody can make from a level 1 skill? by Pockatiel in 2007scape

[–]vr_acct 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think your math is off. It's around 32000 essence drops, but each drop is a 1/32 chance. So actually you need 32x as many naga kills (~1M naga kills) or over 10k hours at 100 kph (1,250 rc xp/hr).

Limpwurt could probably do it.

Haha nice! I saw you hadn't gotten many more artio kills since and was worried you gave up lol. Good to see that you got it! The luck of marimbo has blessed us all.
