Best rock lobsters barraging guide (9 lobsters)

Rock lobster barraging guide.
Song used: Priestess - Lay Down

Most of people think that bursting is cheaper than barraging, but it only seems so. /NOTE: Prices change all the time. this info may be outdated. some ppl pointed out that they soemtimes use less bursts. but still, even if you spend additional 20m for barrages, you save about 40-50hours. it's easy to make 20m in 50hours, even @ bandos./

To kill 9 lobsters you need about 15-16 barrages at 1800gp ea (current price) = about 27k gp per 9 lobsters

To kill 9 lobsters with burst, you need about 25-27 casts, at 1200ea (current price) = +30k.

Barrage is not only cheaper, but faster. With barrage you can get about 200 crimson, 100 gold, 50 green charms per hour, and burst maxes at about 140 red charms (which is just bit more than waterfiends)

And some statistics for you:
1k barrage = 1,8m gp = 330red/160gold/80green charms
-
1k barrage = 300k magic xp
-
1hour = ~170k mage xp = 200red/100gold/50 green charms

What I say in vid, incase you cant make it out: "Most of people wear max possible magic bonus, but 70 is just fine. Rock lbosters are very weak against magic attacks. Instead of additional magic bonus, wear some defence and prayer equipment. I use boots of lightness and penance gloves because no boots or gloves can give me significant bonus to mage/def/prayer."
-
"There are 10 lobsters, but you only lure 9, since barrage can only damage 9 targets at a time. plus, if you lure the 10th one and come back to the spot, it wanders off."
-
"To get rid of the small dagannoths, run next to the east wall, and they will get stuck behind the torch. Then you stand exactly here, and run thereand barrage them to death. As you can see I dont splash, even with only 70 magic bonus"
-
"If you dont want to waste your time looking for charms in the pile, jsut click the top of it several times, arrows, runes and charms are always on top. After picking charms I browse the pile for pure ess, ranarrs, half keys etc"
-
"I cant get the ranger dagannoth to come here, but I'll show you what to do when it comes. Turn ranged pray on, and as you run north, change it to melee. Ranger will follow you and stand in the lobster barraging spot. Run back to safespot with ranged prayer on, and continue killing"

Enjoy

So how much would...say, 2 weeks of doing this cost?

[chrupusek]

@dragonatr well it depends how much do you play daily. some people play 2 hours a day, some people play 12 or more. ^^ you should prepare approx 1.6m for an hour barraging, including prayer potions and repairs

[chrupusek]

@Assault912 4 more words: are not worth it.

@Cr4zyMut5 When deciding what is worth doing and what is not worth doing, you should include your average time value (eg. 2mil gp/hour) in your calculations. I have done the calcs back when I was barraging (note the vid is from 2008) and also 8 months ago, when the above comment was posted. Both times the conclusion was that it is not worth using battle robes. Idk about now - if you include your own time value in calculations, and use current prices, it might turn out it's actually worth it.

[Cr4zyMut5]
