[@Corundrom]

Im 90% sure water strike is worth it, 60% increased cost for 50% increased dsmage is already close to guarenteed, but add on the 50% increased accuracy *and* the higher base xp for water strike and it should be >60% xp increase

[@Tellacon]

This is likely the case and I'll probably do this when I go for the rune med helm

[@jesse7391]

​@Tellacon also don't forget the time you'll save. Less casting, less world hopping for buying runes. Plus you'll eave yourself pain by casting less spells, since it will be big for your wrists! QOL all around

[@Ihileath]

Yeah, less wasted spells due to the higher accuracy makes up for the extra cost for sure.

[@Gorzoid]

Lesser demons have a 40% weakness though, not 50% Since max hits rounds down, it ends up increasing max hit to only 11 not 12, which is a 37.5% damage increase. When optimizing purely for Tokkul per kill, wind strike is better (by like 30-50 Tokkul) but I'd probably just use water strike anyway since current method for Tokkul is pretty fast

[@austinclements8010]

i only have a main that i barely play, and the thought of other people going "mm, ill make an alternate account for extremely slow xp and get that skill to 85!" terrifies me

Also, after the first part of the video I can say that lamping is probably your best way forward. Implings give a mithril pickaxe, lamping to 21 will allow you to mine silver and gold.

Good content, keep going!

[@andrewg3196]

No autocast is reason enough to do water runes since it's less clicks. It's also faster so you can spend more time doing other things. Even if water strike is slightly less damage per tokkul it's still probably worth.

[@ksfjcu]

In terms of costs, your expected hit per tokkul (excluding zeros) is: wind strike: sum(8) / 8 /10 tokkul = 3.6 damage/tokkul water strike: sum(12) / 12 / 16 = 4.8 damage per tokkul => 33% more! Use water strike for sure.

to answer your question - that version of the rune shop you see is ironmen only, and many many ironmen dump hundreds of thousands of death runes into the shop by buying runepacks for GP, turning it into tokkul, then buying onyxes for jewelry oh also the last person alive can just divine pot + locator orb to kill themselves, you dont need to hit them.

Yeah it's just not realistic in the slightest unfortunately!

[@francisbalfour1243]

@Tellacon depends how long your starting chunk lasts, it takes nearly no effort to check the clues as they come in while ur doing other stuff. If you happen to get the correct step, then ez staffs. There was another snowflake iron that had to do it with elite clues bandos/arma warrior where he found a way to kill them indefinitely without completing the step. So you only need to get the step once

I'm no runescape expert but about the water strikes, the cost is 16 vs 10 that's a 60% cost increase for only a 50% increase in max damage, im not sure how big of a factor the accuracy makes but it seems not worth it unless the accuracy difference adds a lot more average damage per cast

[@sussurus]

This video just kept going. So much happened in just one episode, what a joy to watch.

[@liefnova3534]

To address the question of why TzHaar aren't weak to water: Remember that the TzHaar are the ones who literally constructed the world. They are far more powerful than those lesser demons, and are essentially using Karamja as a retirement home. I do not know if it's explicitly stated, but they likely sculpted the seafloors as well. Really, if there is any creature in the world that should have no elemental weakness, TzHaar are a top contender.

[@BurntNPC]

i know buying an obby item would be "waste of tokkul" BUT - buying the staff enables auto cast, mage bonus obviously - but it is ALSO a great melee waeapon. 55 crush, 55 strength..could be worth for its hybrid purposes. You have access to pirates, and skeletons (armed and unarmed) which drop laws, natures, and cosmics as well.This unlocks jewelry, as well, if you do open up your POH, you can eventually make workshop for moulds for crafting...altho i do have no idea how youd ACTUALLY train construction to that lvl. ALSO, clue croziers and staves can autocast - but if u ever compelted a clue im sure ud just get a normal staff. :shrug:

[@Tellacon]

POH is something I'm looking forward to when I actually manage to roll chunks 😭 I went through it in the video, I have 0 beginner or easy clue steps, and not really any ways to get clues here, it's a weird set of chunks!

Tella - love the series.Thanks for investing your time and energy to keep us all entertained. Curious if you've thought about this option for the smithing grind. (No idea if it'd really be practical, but curious to hear your thoughts.) There are 3 Brimhaven steps for medium clues that are currently completable on this account. On the medium casket drop table is the adamant pickaxe. Theoretically, would lamping to 31 mining and pursuing an addy pick through medium clues be more viable than the tokkul grind? One road block I see is when looking at which NPCs drop mediums, it seems like it would be difficult/impossible to get any medium clues within the area of Brimhaven/Karamaja you have unlocked. However, there are a bunch of tribesmen/tribeswomen that spawn west of Brimhaven Dungeon. Maybe they could be lured into a range that would allow you to kill? Clue nests is also a theoretical possibility, but I can't imagine that would be worth the time investment.

[@Tellacon]

Thanks! I've tried with the tribeswomen and doesn't seem to be that possible, realistically I could lamp hunter for a mith pick AND mining, but it'd take a long time and force me into a puro grind if I roll north 🤔 Tis a hard choice

Fun fact in Runescape 3 Tokkul is the compressed corpses of other Tzhaar meant to honor them. It's shown that the Tzhaar who have this done to them are both aware and in absolute agony from it. Womp womp!

[@DaShikuXI]

Lesser demons are 40% weak to water, which results in a roughly 38.5% faster kill time (goes between 35% and 42% depending on your magic level). If wind strike takes an average 25 casts to kill a lesser demon, water strike would take 25/1.385 = 18.05 average casts to kill. Wind strike = 25 * 10 = 250 tokkul Water strike = 18.05 * 16 = 288.8 tokkul Water strike is more expensive per kill than wind strike, and yes that factors in the fact that both the accuracy and damage go up. Water strike is only useful to save time at the cost of more tokkul.
