Following bruhsailer guide just reached chapter 2, was wondering why sand crabs are better than ammonite crabs
"Alternatively train your melee stats by killing sand crabs in Crabclaw cave (not ammonite
crabs) or Nightmare zone (after a dragon defender)."
Currently 48 atk/78 str/40 def from ammonite crabs, have a new game i want to be playing soon so was looking for a long afk activity.

Ammonite crabs are highly contested meaning you waste time looking for a spot
once you hit the point where hp matter you should be doing nmz

sand crabs in sand crab cave are nearly as good but they're never contested.

Ah, tbh i didnt notice contesting being that bad + i enjoyed banking prayer xp from fossils/seaweed spores/being close to birdhouses
Nmz seems expensive since i have a hard time commiting 3+ hrs sitting at a computer and i wont get the full value
velvet apex
nmz should be pretty cheap. Generally your best bet if you don't have money is just get money. doing an efficient method for GP and then spending that GP for an efficient training method is better than doing something slowly that doesn't cost much
That being said it really is up to you, I did plenty of sand crabs early on when I needed to afk
topaz mason
Sounds like great advice, thanks!

For some early game money I'd look into doing battle staves. They seriously changed the way I view GP on the iron, they're really good early on and training crafting and magic at the same time while providing a lot of gp

template exists for a reason!

Yeah i ran 1600 earth orbs last night
velvet apex
fuck yeah you're rich
topaz mason
Was reading the chapter 2 document before bed so i had some questions
How much is 1600 orbs in gp
velvet apex
parasailer probably knows off the top of their head but let me see if I can find my notes and I'll give the answer if they don't beat me to it
halcyon fjord
It's around 2.1k GP each, let's say 2k
So 3.2m
velvet apex
damn i almost made it in time. yeah that
halcyon fjord
That's right XD
You use all of it
Pretty much our goal is to operate as close to 0 GP as possible
And at times we spike and at other times we are like < 100k away from being broke
Ofc after Sepulchre and CG you become insanely rich
But after dumping it in Miscellania and getting high Construction/Smithing you're prob looking at < 5m stack again
topaz mason
Sounds good, thanks everyone :~)

Wouldn’t spend money on more than 1.5-1.6k diary/wizard guild staves
But should make ~2k orbs
Rest will come from celastrus bark
And this is enough gp to get you out of early game into mid game content that provides gp
topaz mason
I made 2.4k orbs
Do u really get that much bark from celastrus trees?
I never planted them before
halcyon fjord
Over time yes
The 1600 is sufficient for the guide + early-game
The last 400 you'll just make while maxing
Cute extra GP that you might as well have
topaz mason
Hmm is making battlestaves just an early game thing?
stone shadow
Yea not great beyond early game given agility and rc exist
halcyon fjord
Yep
feral ice
Rc exist as in zmi and selling runes?
