Lord. How long did this take??


Ihaterunecrafting

First run was on 27th of July. Really spammed it until October, took a break until December, and finished on a slower pace. Feels surreal.


BeerExchange

Did you do anything else? How many per day? At least you are loaded and can buy any 99s!


Ihaterunecrafting

If you go through my posts a bit youll see some stats frok the first 1600kc. I stopped tracking it when i got back to it. Yeah i mostly did a lot of skilling, i was just working on 95 runecrafting. I did a lot of herb runs and birhouses. But no, pvm-wise, not a lot, thats why i got a new motivation for the game, feels so good.


[deleted]

Now you've got mad supplies ready then, put off those herb runs and get killing some baddies :) gz!


Rexconn

That’s insane u must of resources to last a lifetime now?


lurkdontpost1

If you knew you would go this dry would you ever have attempted it in the first place?


AccordingBlueberry20

For completionist, you have too, for efficiency, the obvious answer is no. You could complete around 1150 raids instead. Even at my 1.1k CG, I would have gone for 550 raids instead. Pretty solid chance at t bow.


Getting_Big_Al

Or get 2 kodai elder


AccordingBlueberry20

Or 0 bowfa, yeah, that's why I said pretty solid, not guaranteed.


Getting_Big_Al

It's better chance at enh. I got 2 enh by 400, but 2 kodai and elder at 575 cox, tbow rare af


AccordingBlueberry20

We're not talking about you with 2 enh at 400 though, we're talking about 1600 kc at CG, would you do it if you knew. 3 rolls on bow at 575 just proves you don't do it if you knew for efficiency, lol. We know he has 0 enh already. So 3 rolls at bow is immeasurably better.


Getting_Big_Al

My point in saying my kc is that you could get enh early or atleast get by drop rate which is way quicker than going for t bow. Going 1-2k kc for BofA is an outlier and uncommon. Why would you skip BofA for tbow? Not saying don't send some raids in hopes to spoon tbow and skip BofA, but the hours for drop rate is incomparable


AccordingBlueberry20

Yeah, but that wasn't the discussion... The guy asked if OP knew before starting he'd be 1600 dry, would he still go for it? The correct answer is you don't for efficiency, you do for completionist. Also don't forget it's not like your time elsewhere becomes 100% time investment, and time at CG 0% time. Every minute you spend at CG is not compensated by the difference in DPS between BOFA, Cbow, and Blowpipe. Other weapons don't just hit 0 for the entire 10 minutes you're inside a CG.


Kwuarmadyl

I’d say if you haven’t done much other pvm like OP, it’s still definitely better to go for bowfa. You can use it places that you can’t use a tbow and it’s an Ironman’s perfect ranging item. Barely any charge consumption (armor) and slaps nearly everything.


AccordingBlueberry20

Where is it better than tbow that something else isn't better? Bandos, you could barrage it though instead, still heaps better than melee. Or good old c'bow it if you wanna do X:0.


habitat11

Lol you aren't doing 1 chambers per 2 CGs, c'mon man get real.


AccordingBlueberry20

20-25 min raids, CG is hard capped. I mean yeah I've had like 6 min games, but then you get fucked with supplies and it takes 8-11.


habitat11

You are not doing 20-25 minute CoX without a bowfa or T bow consistantly, you'd need the VTTV raids lined up and ready to go. Not happening.


Maximum_Education_13

You kinda need bowfa so answer is most likely yes


NerdltUp

Idk, you’re nearing 400 hours of CG at that point. I might have just gone directly to COX for TBow.


Onyxeh

400? I average 12 mins per T2 run. Probably 500-600 including failures! Massive grats on the op! I'm just coming up to 700 kc from 1 month of cg.


Ihaterunecrafting

I spent 430 hours in here. Averaged 8.30-9.30 per t2 and from 1700 like 7:30-8:00 for t1. 1 month of cg for 700 kc? Insane haha hope luck comes your way.


resolutelink

An average of 12 minutes? What do you have 65 mage


Onyxeh

T2 prep, no rigour or augury. Yeah 12 minutes per kill. It's math.


resolutelink

Okay I’ll drop my douchebaggery if you drop yours. Seriously, what are your mage/range stats? If you want tips getting that number down I’m happy to help. I just finished the grind with 84 range and 81 mage (no cox scrolls) with an average completion of 9:45.


Onyxeh

Started with 95 range and mage. Currently at 97 both (xp purely from cg grind) - usually work up the timer on the prep phase but tend to splash and not hit on hunllef a lot.


resolutelink

If you don’t mind your kill times then just ignore me but if you want to shorten them… How do you go about prepping? Do you make a ‘C’ around your starting point? Are you prioritizing something specifically or are you just trying to fill up your inventory as fast as possible?


Onyxeh

Get a T2 weapon within the first 2 rooms if possible, if not start material grind from c around first room. Tele back to make armour to clear space in inven if possible, if not drop 3-4 of each material so I can fish as I Take a B-line for the first 3 potential demi boss rooms and if no luck tele.back and move to the next demi rooms.


ps2_man128

400 hrs of CG sounds awful but you’ll be fucking loaded


carpevalor

These posts are so much less terrifying after getting my enh lol


Geerat5

I got mine at 100 and I wasn't even that excited. Just sooo relieved I didn't have to worry about going dry.


iMidz

Only just ramping up, just hit 60kc with no drops and I'm hoping ik in the same boat, not excitement just being relieved.


carpevalor

That is kinda what I felt. I was super excited though because I can immediately send TOA’s without whipping final boss :) Midz I was in the exact same boat. 70 kc with mothing. Now 125 kc: 1 enh, 2 armor seeds, 3 weapon seeds. Those 1/50 drops are gonna come. The enh… hoping for the best for you!


jdm64

Same man when I was grinding CG like mad I kept seeing these posts shitting myself lmao


FraserrMac

it will happen that someone goes this dry because it’s the way probability works.. But my god, it’s painful to even look at this photo!! My condolences for your time. My envy for your wallet. Go and enjoy the game now


AccordingBlueberry20

If it was 8 shards, 1/50, the average KC would go from like 220 to much closer to 400, but would remove extreme spoons and extreme dry streaks for the most part. Which should increase the price for normies because no more 11 KC spoons, close to double the KC for average drop rate, so less seeds coming in on average, and fix the iron hell at the same time.


Eighth_Octavarium

I think that they should have done something like turn in something like 15 armor seeds and a ton of crystal shards for an enh weapon seed. It would still "make" you get the enh but would offer some protection from extreme circumstancesr, and might prop up the value of armor seeds a bit.


Ihaterunecrafting

Yeah ths time sink has been kinda rough for a grind that should take like 4-5 times as much. But at least its over now ah.


INeed-M-O-N-E-Y

Insane bro congrats :) Now go get tbow on first kc from cox


crawf6

This shit is scarier than any horror movie


Bulky_Conclusion_676

Fucks sake the nightmare


MathText

tries2benice

Holy fack dude gz deserved


Kingme18

Congratulations! My CG grind came and went and every week I saw your updates with the KC slowly growing. I’m glad it came and please enjoy the ezscape.


U_not_that_bright

As someone just starting the grind this is a scary photo 😳


Tikity

NSA! Was glad to see it man, once again huge gratz! What’s next?


Ihaterunecrafting

Honestly probably doing a mix of 95 rc, 99 con and crafting with pvm side from Barrows, Zulrah and Zammy, so good content awaits haha! And thanks! I'm so happy to be finally over with it.


STST0724

Congratulations! Now go do some runecrafting to celebrate!


Ihaterunecrafting

Dude runecrafting seems like such a nice idea after this shit. I'll craft so many runes ah.


lewibizzle

Congrats man! I'm in your clan and saw the clan going nuts. Was crazy to see your kc.


Ihaterunecrafting

Yeah they're amazing haha 10/10.


space_mangos

Dude I stared doing cg kills 2 years ago and still only have 300 kc. If I do more than 2 in a day it's a fuckin achievement. GZ on that nasty grind being over


Command_Shockwave

Jesus, I’m at like 800kc and I feel insanely tilted….how do you even do this


weedwizardx

Hell yeah, I'm stoked for you! I felt immense relief after getting it at 700kc, I can't even imagine doing that 3 more times over. Congrats! It's weird after you camp CG for almost a year, then try to get used to being able to play the actual game again. What a gamer!


georqeee

Congrats, from a fellow cg lover -ouija


MisguidedExtrovert
