Going to be killing Artio with bowfa.
Not sure on Vetion vs Calvarion. According to wiseoldman EHB rates vetion is 23kph while Calvarion is 55 kph. At those rates it's both roughly 16h to get the blade. Of course, I don't have wildy weapons so I'd be using hasta. Which should I kill?

As for Spindel/vennenatis I'm leaning spindel. Is bowfa an option there or is hasta a lot better? I kinda hated all the running with hasta when I tried spindel for 5 kills.

Last question: worth it to kryst slayer master + tureal skip for spider/bear tasks?

Vetion kph seems very low, and 55 cal seems achievable (still very high). Vetion should be faster, the general rule is if you find yourself killing 3x calv in a set time, then i'd kill calv

#

For spindel melee is a lot better than range, don't see how running is annoying esp u just end up following it and dont even need to swap prayers

#

Doing slayer purely for VW will end up taking longer, but reduces your time spent in wildy

Bowfa spindel with full crystal armor is like 8% worse dps than hasta. Ven is even more in favor of hasta. 8% DPS adds up a lot if you go on rate.

Ven vs spindel comes down to whether you want better drops and a slightly better VW piece rate at the cost dealing with pkers. If you have DWH I would really recommend Ven. If not it is a toss up

after going 900 kc dry at spindel for fangs of ven i def prefer ranged on Spindel, for 2 big benefits

-Spindel doesnt drag you around the room and through her webs that drain everything

-you can hang around the exit and shoot her, which makes escaping pkers a ton easier

also a big tip: bring chins and throwing knives for the spiderlings

melee spindel is absolutely braindead easy it literally does the movement for you, just learn the rotation so you know when the web is coming so you can drop it on the edge and resume being auto dragged

#

as for ven vs spindel: i dragged a friend of mine to Ven and we had an absolutely miserable time with pkers like pkers would show up every 0.5-1 kills, we tried mulitple times over multiple days and no difference, maybe we were just very unlucky

I 100% agree. Venenatis is absolutely dreadful. Tried 3 separate days and ended up with 4 kills over the course of probably an hour. Died 7 times, even with CCTV alt as teams have players camping every exit.

Killed these at 1-2 AM EST on week days. Not even on weekend. Maybe bad luck like the above guy mentioned but it fully put me off of even trying.

Also had similar problems at Vet’ion so I really am surprised these two are suggested so much.

I did a couple hundred vetion with a cctv alt, never had anyone camp cave exits, harassed once or twice an hour, but you can also just log off at vetion which is not an option at ven

To the OP: Calvarion without Chainmace won’t get you 55kph. I was getting 35-36 Kph consistently. But I was not using thralls. I was using a Hasta, like you would be, on crush

#

we constantly had people camping the exits as well

scenic grail
#

if you're actually dying a notable amount attempting them it's probably not worth ya, just figured I'd provide the opposite anecdote lol. I was actually wondering why no one ever camped the exits, they just clown car 4 dudes in the entrance and whiff it.

#

multi boss loot is cracked if it works for your timezone though

they were cheeky enough to station people with teleblock on the 30's wildy line south of the escape caves

Honestly loot is kinda meaningless IMO
It's nice and all but you can get it all elsewhere too
The real argument in favor of Vet'ion is basically kph and TTV (time to Voidwaker)
If Calvar'ion was similar TTV to Vet'ion then I think Calv would be a fine choice
But since Vet'ion is just noticeably better due to the 3x better drop rate, it's the move even if you die a lot

stoic bison
#

correct me if i’m wrong but,

assuming you’re going on drop rate, you’d need vet’ion to be 14 kph or higher for Vet to be worth to send over Calv

(From my own attempts I found that to be pretty hard to achieve due to the level of activity the multi areas have but if OP can achieve those #’s it does make sense.)

He is using a hasta which won’t max out beyond 37ish kph at Calv.

37/2.53 = 14.5 vet kph to achieve same TTV

I think if you’re dying a lot you should still pay attention to your kph still to see which one is most efficient

tender kestrel
#

Yea for sure. Honestly 14 kph seems pretty doable to me but who knows maybe I'm wrong. Depends on how well you can escape / react-hop too

#

Oh also with bludgeon it's a bit diff since it is slightly better

stoic bison
#

Oh yeah, you can log out at vetion lol. should help with the miserableness. Yeah bludgeon is better than hasta

#

i think by like 8% or so

tender kestrel
#

Yea prob adds some kph to both

final pier
#

i was thinking the same that calv might be the way to go if i can kill 2-3 calv's in the same time as 1 vet, without getting constantly pk'd

stoic bison
#

Yep it definitely will

#

I ended up doing 40 vet kc and i found that calv was more consistent/faster time to hit rate (not that it mattered, i went 6x rate) but I agree, if you can kill calv 2.5x faster than vetion over the course of an hour they’re roughly the same grind.

Thanks all. Think I'm going to go with Calvarion considering the better chance of getting ring of the gods while hunting the VW piece compared to vetion
