Summoning Calcs (Waterfiends)

Crimson Charms Required
(92-95) = 5085 x Wolpertinger.
(95-96) = 2187 x Iron Titan
(96-99) = 7931 x Pack Yak
(92-99) = 15203 Crimson Charms


I should read up on this.

Waterfiends
According to wikia, can break even / profit at waterfiends, via noted water orbs, noted snape grass, water talismans, ranarrs, lantadymes, clue scrolls, water battlestaves. Especially with a ring of wealth, I think I'll make money from it, perhaps even enough to pay for summoning.

If I use a bunyip, I can use the swallow whole scroll to eat the raw fish dropped, but won't have the healing power of a unicorn stallion. Due to maxed combat though, I think I should be fairly okay, so probably end up using bunyip.

There's a 76% chance of a crimson charm drop, therefore need to kill just over 20k waterfiends.

Outfit
Helm of neitiznot, Karil's leathertop, Karil's leatherskirt, Barrows gloves, Dragon boots, Glory, Fire cape, Saradomin godsword, Ring of wealth, Bunyip.

Inventory
(Use soul split!) 5-6 prayer potions, 2x extreme att, str, alching runes.

Effigies
Level 115, approx 1/1k effigy drop rate. This means 20 effigies.

Summary / Notes
Overall, this sounds like it might be alright. Some profit, lots of charms, the thrill of unknown drops, it'll be just like slayer! Equipment is also really cheap, only a few mil, meaning I can get the charms fairly easily, even if I can nowhere near afford 99 summoning.

Also, as I'm 99 def, mage, range, I *may* be able to just tank it, and not need to pray, just worry about picking up drops. I'll pray to start with, then see how it goes.

99 Thieving

Herb next.

Assisting

Alright, so I assist with effigies nearly every day, either for 99 construction, farming, or smithing. And I've had a few encounters with really terrible effigy holders.

All we both want to do, is meet up as soon as possible, and get the assist done. Now.

I've had people messaging me asking me to wait until they level up, or to come to their remote location. This just isn't practical. Also, people who are very slow to respond, or simply stand around when you finally make your way to the same location in game... Why? Just req assist me, do your effigy, and we can be on our way. I don't want to wait for you to bank your items, or buy something on the GE. I want xp.

This is how assisting SHOULD be done:

Both gave reasonable offers (one person hops world, one person teleports), and communicated clearly and concisely. Why is this so difficult?
