[RS3]500k+ Mage/Def xp/hour at Dagannoths


Jake

2012-12-14 12:13:05

Edit: May 8
Jagex update Dags so they are less aggressive, the xp/hour has gone down by a lot.
Will post more information/possible ways to get more xp later



500K+ Mage/Def xp/hour at Dagannoths PLUS 600+ charms/hour

Dagannoths (Level 112) at the Waterbirth Dungeon give really good mage experience and defence experience. Along with that, you get A LOT of charms with the Charming Imp.
The Charming Imp is a dungeoneering reward which you can buy.
It requires level 21 summoning and 21 dungeoneering to buy, and a total of 100k reward tokens


The Charming Imp is VERY helpful with this method.
You can toggle the imp to choose which charms you want the Imp to pick up for you and the charms you want it to keep.
With this method, Tell the Imp that he can keep the gold charms, so you can keep the crimson, blue and green charms.
Also, since you are allowing the imp to keep the gold charms to himself, you will get 4 summoning experience for every gold charm he will keep.


Getting there

You can teleport to waterbirth Island if you have 72 magic, and be on the Lunar spellbook.

To sail to the island, players need to complete The Fremennik Trials.
Players who have not completed the Fremennik Trials quest can go to the island by starting the quest and paying Jarvald (In Rellekka), a fee of 1000gp.

Setup + Inventory

Set up is pretty much self explanatory.
You have to bring decent mage armour.
Virtus, Ahrims, Subjugation, ganodermic/grifolic work.
Offhand can be a orb, or an arcane.
I highly recommend a master wand, since it is one handed, and has really good stats.
Again, you can replace any armour Im wearing with the other listed above.
We will be using the spell, Rock Barrage Requires 88 Magic
2 blood runes, 5 earth runes for each cast.
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Rock_Barrage


The area is multi, so they will all attack you.
You will be using soul split, to heal.




I know this guide was done in a rush, and may not be the best.
But I hope it helps. Post any questions/comments. Thanks :)

Could you tell me what type of gear you are wearing in all slots?

Edit: Are you using the bomb ability? I can't see how you got your splats that high from the rock ability.

Nice guide, I also want to know what kind of gear you are wearing.

idk if posting that is against the rules but there's a user made guide to dags

Jake

2012-12-14 12:32:04

I was using the robes of subjugation.
And yes I was using detonate ability for those high hits.

Still works good ;)
1 hour and 15 minute result

Does this work with range? (chins maybe?)

Jake

2012-12-25 23:48:34

I dont believe chins would work as effectively as rock barrage/magic would work.
I havent tried using a single chin/red chin after eoc came out.

Why not ice barrage? Or gale barrage? since it's air based and they're weak to air spells

Alright, to make this clear to everyone, dagannoths at waterbirth island are weak to rock spells

Therefore I use rock barrage, since it is the highest tier of rock spells on the anicent magicks spellbook.

From: Mr[S]

I got about 285 crimsons/hour there.
Total charms (green ,crim, blue) ended up to be around 330 charms/hour.

If I might add on to this guide, I would recommend any one of the "skull necklaces" from Dungeoneering + a Bonecrusher; the combination of these two items gives you unlimited Prayer points here so there's no need for Prayer potions (ect…). You only need to cast 1 or 2 barrages with SoulSplit enabled to heal your lifepoints to full, so you will use extremely little Prayer anyways.

Also, auto-retaliate is a must and using a Wolpertinger + it's scroll (for +7 Magic levels) helps as well. Be sure to use a wand for fast casting.

@Jakee:
What is that orb you have in your off-hand?


Edit:
35 minutes:

Also, approx. 195K Magic XP.

Jake

2012-12-30 17:07:11

Hey flight! ^
Yes, Sorry I forgot to add that part/include in the pictures.
Absolutely recommend to bring bonecrusher and a Demon Horn Necklace, you will have infinite prayer because the bcrusher will bury the bones from the dag's and your prayer will restore because of he necklace.

I was wielding a grifolic orb, offhand for mage boost. You can substitute that with Ahrim's book or a mages book, up to you.

And nice job on the rates :) Impressive, I probably had a lower xp rate since I didnt bring a wolpertinger >.<

Wasn't doubting the method or anything, was just asking.

Thanks though, I didn't know that. Cheers :p

are these faster charms than wfs without titan?

Jake

2013-01-01 11:29:16

Correct, this method is completely faster than wfs without a Titan

question: when you do rock barrage, only the autocasts have the aoe spellcast, right? so you would be better off using momentum?

or do abilities also hit multiple dags?

I dont use momentum for magic
I have rock barrage on auto-cast, and use the abilities.

Heya Four, you might want to add in the bit about the Charming Imp you can buy from the Dungeoneering place now. One might say it…:staycool:…works like a charm.

I've been enjoying it lately along with those gold-producing gloves. Around 50 charges left and they've produced roughly 2.5M for me. It's a good combination.

Im so.. lucky since you posted here to remind me (Im bad at puns ;) )
Haven't gotten the gloves, don't think I need them much anyway :P

But yes I'll add the charm imp thing, are you going for 200m mage/def/summ?

Damn, I had no idea about this >.< Was not paying attention to the prices till you brought this up.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need some rc'ers back on eoc to lower blood rune prices. >.<

Today's update ruined the best method for magic/defence xp per hour.
Dags are less agressive, and the xp/hour has been cut by an drastic amount.

Was fun while it lasted, and I was planning on going for 200m xp in magic, but can't cause of this :/

That's not what I wanted to hear. :( I had plans to make a simple script for this; bleh. Looks like 130/140k Magic XP from super-heating will be the best now.

The Smithing XP will be good as well (At least if doing gold bars).

I'm sure it's quite low friend. I'm alien when it comes to being familiar with RS3 & the EoC but I would imagine bursting/barraging monkeys on Ape Atoll or things in the Chaos Tunnels would be a better choice for Magic + Constitution XP.

Not as much as you used to.

Try barrage/burst at Abyss.

Thanks KeepBotting. The user was already promoted to Jr member (Safe to assume that's what he was spamming for because he magically stopped at 30 posts…)
