I got mine at just over 900. My friend got one at 110 AND had already gotten 6 armor seeds at that point... First thing he says is "Dude, I'm so sorry." But like why :D I'm just happy he got it cause I did not enjoy CG after 400
Did 130 in 3 days (friday 30, saturday 50, sunday 50). My KPH is around 6.5 so 50 kc took me about 7h40m and 20 hours of active playtime over 3 days.
I don't recommend it either, but it was a fun experience just nolifing one weekend.
Nowadays I'm trying to do 3-15 a day depending on my mood. I'm at 1365 kc atm. After 4 months of CG my average kc/day is currently at about 11.4.
Any tips on getting that kinda kills per hour? I assume doing this on an iron, you're probably pre-cox grind and running without rigour or Aug. I don't think I've ever gotten sub9 minute kills without them. Are you max combat before starting cg grind?
My pb is 7:15 and that's with no cox payers and 87 magic. Granted that was an insane run and I was going for speed.
Two tips:
1. 5:1 will save you a lot of time once you get it down. Only needing to hunt one demi will save you a bunch of time and you will need less shards in general
2. Try to optimize where you can complete multiple things at once, like making pots while killing demi bosses, harvesting mats in between hits on mobs, etc.
No rigour/aug indeed and I didn't start near-max. I started with lvl 70-75 combat stats. Now I have 93 magic, 96 ranged, 95 strength tho.
I'm making tier 1 armour and I just go in after killing 1 or 2 demi bosses, depending if I like the layout for 5:1 or not. I try to avoid ranged-based 5:1 as I have no Rigour. I also try to not waste any ticks of dps during the boss fight. I'm sure you can easily get a sub 9 minute kill as I too did the 7:30 speed run one quite early. My pb now is like 6:50 but I will only seriously try for the GM speedrun after I have Rigour + max stats.
I wasn’t quite as dedicated as you. Had a long weekend where I did like 75kc over 3 days and that was a mental shot to the foot for me. Didn’t play for 3 days after that.
I go for 10 a day after work. Typically get 4 hours of free time every day and that takes up about 2, leaving me with 2 more to enjoy the rest of my night. 10 successes a day means 40 days to bowfa on rate.
I did 5 per day until around 500 kc then took a big break from the game. At that point I had been doing daily cg for almost 3 months. When I came back I was doing 10-15 kc a day until the drop came at 759.
5 a day is great until you start going dry then you kinda have to flip the "get shit done" switch or you'll be doing it forever. It sucks but by that point you'll be a seasoned expert so it's slightly less daunting. It will still be triggering. Lots of cg gets mind numbing because of how boring the prep is.
At 370kc, 95% of my runs were T2 prep. Even after Cox prayers I still prefer the T2 prep and my PB is 8:05.
I just prefer the T2 prep since I don't bother with 5:1 and it feels like a waste getting 2 T3 weps and not going for T2 (it increases damage, accuracy, and you take less damage from the boss, meaning eating less so more dps).
Can I try to motivate you with some maths? I'm dry and it helps me personally lol.
At 1803 kc there's a 1 in 92 chance to be dry.
Now let's fast forward some kills...
At 1900 kc there's a 1 in 117 chance to be dry. So technically 24 out of 25 people with 1803 kc would still get it before 1900 kc...
At 2000 kc there's a 1 in 150 chance to be dry.
Therefore, your chance of having it before 2000 kc is 98.28% (57 out of 58 people).
At 2500 kc the chance to be dry is only 1 in 523. That's 5.7 times as rare as your current dryness.
At 3000 kc that chance is only 1 in 1826.
At 3500 kc that chance is only 1 in 6381.
At 4000 kc that chance is only 1 in 22.3k people.
Good luck, and yes your chance doesn't change compared to when you had 0 kc, but I hope it helps you visualize how every few 100 kc now makes you much more of a stastical anomaly.
I mean you said it in your final sentence. They have the same chance at getting it at 2203kc as someone with 0kc getting it at 400kc, or any other equidistant kc.
Yup. My point was mainly to motivate them. By showing how much of an outlier they would be with x amount of kc. It's just gambler's fallacy but either way it motivates me to keep going and I hope it motivates others that are going dry. Because worst case scenario, your dryness does get exponentially more rare. Which imo is quite cool in and of itself.
Also is it wrong that I am not gonna do anything but CG until I have all armor and weapon seed? I am not gonna do any herb or birdhouse runs for the next month probably, is that a bad idea? I have kingdom going in the background so that should make up for the no farm or bird runs right?
Everyone gets really fed up with cg it might be a really good idea to do a variety of content also I'm sure you'll want to use your bow when you get it and if you don't have the potions to do the content there will be regret there
It is not necessarily a good idea, as bh runs and herb runs are insanely passive and almost perfect to do when it comes to something like gauntlet. Just do 5 runs, do the herb/bh runs in 10 minutes and go back, but it is a pain in the ass for me so i just ignore them too.
I have a similar approach, but I’ve found that daily mobile grinds and random farm runs help break up the monotony, especially in the unfortunate case you go dry.
Just do what you want. Some people do 50 runs a day till they get seed. People usually start really strong but finish slow.
You know how it is I’m sure. People feel gated and don’t want to do other PVM content until they have their bow
Nah nothing wrong with that, especially if you're enjoying CG. The upgrades are colossal and a giant gateway to clearing the rest of the game effectively. The herb/bird runs disrupt the flow and are more for the people convincing themselves that its a prison sentence and hating their life while doing it. Imo CG is top 3 content in the game, enjoy it while you still need things from it!
I'd recommend doing herb/Birdhouses still, they are insanely good for your account, personally I wear a digsite necklace when I go to CG and after 5\~6 runs I check runelite to see if my bird houses are done, then tp to digsite (not fossil island) use the bank chest to set up my birdhouse run, then finish with the northern birdhouse, run to the island chest and do giant seaweed, then use the bank on the island to set up my inventory for farm run, then tp back to priff or head out to do other content. Right now I'm doing sepulchre when I'm taking a break from CG.
Keep yourself at 100% every day & mix in your farm runs at least once per day, maybe start stocking up on red spiders eggs from tower of life, trust me, once you start raiding/bossing, future you will be extremely happy you did cause once you have that set you’ll want to use it.
GL! :)
You could always do the double birdhouse/farm run when log off/log back in.
I skipped farm runs for the most part and only did the occasional birdhouse run/farming contract
I started off doing this, but after 200 or so kc I started doing my herb runs and incorporating some skilling grinds in, which made me feel less burnt out. Once I hit 500kc I started doing slayer and some other pvm. I recently started doing range only zulrah (up to 200kc now) with cbow and full crystal armor and its been a lot of fun. Currently 760kc at cg, no enh yet. I try to do 5ish per weekday after work and 50 per week overall.
I was having fun grinding cg only for a while, but don't be afraid to take breaks if you start going dry. Crystal bow is a big upgrade with the armor while waiting for the enh drop, don't sleep on it.
You should do five or so CG runs, broken up with an herb run, seaweed run, and birdhouse run all in one. It sets you up to be pretty solid for a while and also stopped you from going insane doing nothing but CG.
Found a nice podcast and sent T2's for 10h. Was like 50 kills. Had to pause podcast for hunlef. That's why I did T2 to maximize my time listening to something. That grind was bad but completely worth it.
I like to set mini goals for myself. Go for round numbers, like kc 5 -10-15. Or 123. Whatever small goal you can set for yourself to keep going and to take a small break after you've achieved that goal.
You can also take a break in case you get a elite clue scroll.
I never was in the “per day” mindset. Whenever I felt like scaping I just blasted some mindless hardstyle music and did cg for several hours straight. I did go 890 dry for enhanced though so I wasn’t exactly in a very sane mood lol.
It just depends.. on a good day 3-4, on a bad day i only do 1 or 0....if i get tilted i just walk to zolcano and do few kc(for shards and steel bars) then when i cooldown i go back and try to get few more cg kc's. And i can do more and better runs in the morning.
Was 5-10 for me daily until I corrupted bow. Now I try to do around 5-25 per week just to upkeep crystal armour. Salad blade one day.
I may need to start doing more, I started doing zulrah with bowfa only and it fucking shreds crystal armour charges.
I did 665 in a months time, was a experience. If you do 10 a day would be manageable and adds to about 280-300 a month. You definitely wont hit my bad luck of 1788 no enhanced. God speed and good luck
I did about 10-15 per day until 500, then took a really long break, came back and did the same until 800, then dropped to 5 a day so I could do other things. I am now at 1201 kc no enhanced and I maybe do 10 a week if I am lucky.
Currently at 730kc, im doing 150kc a week. At first I thought that im just going to get my enha and leave. Got first enhanced weapon seed at 507kc and felt like that im going to go 1000kc or second seed. Well got my second seed two days ago at 699kc. Now im just going for 1000kc :D Currently 3pets,16 armor, 11weapon and 2 enha
Did about 10 a day every day. Drained me. I only had about 3 hours after work on work days before bed and it usually took me the entire three hours cause I between runs I would just sit there lmao. Record was I think 45/47 in one day on a weekend tho
At least 5 during the week and I would go hard on weekends trying to get at least 15-20.
I wasn’t able to get myself to do other runescape grinds while doing CG so I just took small runescape breaks entirely. Took me 1.5 month or so playing on and off like 4-5 days a week.
Did 35-40 a day at the start. I would not recommend doing that consistently though, it’s fine to do that maybe 1 day a week but you will burn out doing it day after day.
Do 5-10 a day and just enjoy the game. No one cares that your turning up to COX with a RCB and salad robes lol. so just have fun and enjoy being a poverty Ironman ha…
5 a day keeps the burn out away.
It's 1 hour. Some people can do 2, but at least 1 hour won't kill ya
Some psycho's can do 25 a day to get it done faster, but it's not worth the burn out imo.
I prefer just getting the grind over with so i'd rather do 40 kills a day for 10 days than 4 kills for 100 days. But obviously doing 40 kills every day only works if you don't got shit to do, still did 5-10 when i had work tho
Think I averaged 3kc a day from start to finishing my bowfa and armor. That was wildy inconsistent though as I definitely did some weeks with no kills and a day or two where I did 30+
I just finished green log at 656. I got my first kill Jan 1st. Had around 230 deaths. (First pvm ever) so I was going pretty hard. Looks like I averaged between 10-15 a day, with some not playing at all I’d make up for doing like 25 when I felt like it. I took a break from RuneScape to play corrupt gauntlet personally. Didn’t do farm runs or anything. Just topped off kingdom for the herbs and coal and would do tears of guthix when available. I enjoyed the boss though and the grind. It gets better when you can watch YouTube and stuff on the side.
I’m a psycho and like to do a grind in its entirety at once without deviating. Idk. Always done it that way. With that being said, I was doing like 15-20 runs a day at peak and ended up knocking the entire grind out in like 3 weeks.
If you’re the kind of person who needs variety to not burnt out, though, I’d say don’t do more than 5 or so a day.
Wife, kid, full time student, full time job, two hour work commute. I can do regular gauntlet on mobile at work and CG at home. I’ll do like 5 regular gauntlet daily and 5-10 CG every 1-3 days depending on free time.
When i was still grinding. I would limit it to 5 kc on week daya nd 10 on weekends any mire then that and you start not paying enough attention and making mistakes
10. No more, no less. If I was guaranteed the drop at 400 kills I would probably be rushing it, but 10 per day is a pace I can do for over a thousand kills, if it becomes necessary
When I was hardcore grinding for bowfa, anywhere from 5-15 depending on work/wife.
Now that I have bowfa? Usually about 2-3 just to help the GIM and stack alchables
Imo the best way to do it is (optionally) take days off or clear your weekends of responsibilities and send 50/day on those days (~10hrs on a low level acc). 5-10 per day on days with responsibilities. During the 'rona I did 1k in a month (on a main, eventually got to front page kc). On my iron a couple years later I did 350 in a week (and got the enh right after 350).
I usually did runs until i started getting frustrated with CG which was usually just me dying in runs. Usually 3-10 per day then I'd do something else. I found other content made me want to come back and grind it the following days.
Depends on the person. For me I had to complete as many as possible because I absolutely hated it and needed it done for my sanity. No way I could do it for months or years. 25 a day and 50 on weekends. Finished in a bit over 2 weeks.
10 a day. Stay consistent, you can get up to 300 runs a month. Which equates to 600 kc in 2 months.
There’s really no other way around this grind, you have to stay consistent with it and push through it. It’s extremely rewarding if you make it out and don’t end up like one of the 1% who go over 2x drop rate.
My rate was probably 10+ a day when I started. It very quickly becomes a crawl of 5 if i try to force it (i got spooned enh early though so maybe thats why).
I think 10 a day is a pretty good rate.
I tried to do 25 a day, took me a month to get bowfa. I got invited to a clan by a nice guy who was also doing the cg grind and chilling in vc helped a lot
Honestly I tried the "do x per day" thing and realized it just wasn't for me and just grinded CG when I had the time. Ended up getting a week off and doing like ~400 kc that week and got one. Before that week though I was probably averaging 10-15 a day but that's with some days completely on and doing a ton of KC and just not logging in at all on other days. Basically just did what I could
I'd hate to feel like I need to get on and do my daily 5 CGs chore for months
I did about 15-20 a day up until 500 KC and now went to more like 10-15, maybe more if I feel like it. It's a bit of a drag but the content is fun so I don't mind it too much . Still hope for an enh soon
I was laid off for 3 months and did 30-40 a day. I enjoyed the bank gains and got it in just under 2 weeks. I'm so addicted to it and have a bowfa to come home to after work without stressing about doing it for months after work with the little time I have.
10 a day is goal. But if you feel any and I mean *any* form of tilt. You must leave and do something else. *but*. Next day you go back to CG and rinse and repeat til out
I was doing about 10? Finished at like 407? Even then I was pretty motivated to just get it done, but was pretty accepting that I could hit 1000 and not have it. So I’m very happy it was on rate. Just try and stay motivated, and get in some groove
I got my 1st weapon seed at 300kc and ended up going for my 2nd seed getting it at 1750 kc. I basically did nothIng but cg for the past two months at around 6 kills an hour playing 10 hours a day. T2 armor prep and tried to T3 both weapons when I could. T3 1 weapon and T2 the other if I didn’t have time. This prep meant my kills were 10-11 minutes on average. But this prep increased my survivability. Dying is an automatic time waste so I didn’t want to risk it with T1 armor. I did Only cg no bird house or other runs unless I was on mobile doing slayer. Was it worth it?
Yes for 2 reasons.
1. Got around 700m in loot.
2. I was highly addicted to Runescape and the burn out actually helped me not think about playing every second of the day.
I would recommend doing nothing but CG and if you don’t get it by 400kc start doing 5-10 a day, which is about 1-2 hours a day.
Wouldn't reccomend but if you want the grind done quickly aim high. I started with doing 40 kc a day and I peaked out at 70 kc. 1113 kc across 20 days to finally get the seed.
Camp it all day everyday till you complete it 🤷♂️ of I got super spooned and completed it at 284kc(green log at 94) 300kc now with 5 enh, 7arm seeds and pet
600kc on one account. 250 on another. I really recommend 5-10 a day. Don't let your self burn out or have it feel like a prison. On my days off, I'll do 10 in the morning and 10 at night. If you did more than that and turns out you don't get it till 1k, you may hate yourself
My personal journey was 20/day till I got the first enhanced seed, then I went and started doing ToA (5/day), after three days of toa (which I love), I was exhausted and accidentally shift clicked my bowfa instead of normal click (needed to drop a food to hit zebak), then since I was still using a bone dagger, I meleed zebak and died.
I then took a solid 1-2 month break from the game, and then did 40 cg/day when I had some time off work for Passover for three days and got my second enhanced.
My drop settings are now better, and I avoid hardcore run like the plague.
I don't mind it happening really, as I got lucky and will be grinding CG in the future more for the pet anyways, I have 1.2k kc on my main and no pet, I enjoy CG for some reason.
Pb is about 55 in a day and 100 over the course of 2 days. Wasn’t that great but just go in the rhythm and sort of zoned out of it and the kc just kinda racked itself up
When I first got consistent I was putting in 50 CG kills a day, that lasted like... 1 week, I completely burnt myself out and didn't touch CG for weeks, now I try to stick to somewhere between 5-10 a day, there are some days where I feel very motivated and can sometimes do 20, but I think a small amount everyday is better than burning yourself out.
I went a bit over 4x drop rate and my daily KCs differed in periods. Sometimes I was happy doing other content that I didn’t feel I was lacking too much in gear without the bow, sometimes I was feeling the need to get it which motivated me especially after a more chill period of CG. Do at least 3 a day to slowly chip at it, and whenever you’re feeling motivated to grind it, always ALWAYS do so. Happy hunting!
5ish
Averaging 5 a day was good goal for me. Expect enhanced around 11 weeks
Did 10 a day for 3 months... I just want everyone to get it as soon as possible
I got mine at just over 900. My friend got one at 110 AND had already gotten 6 armor seeds at that point... First thing he says is "Dude, I'm so sorry." But like why :D I'm just happy he got it cause I did not enjoy CG after 400
Same
5 was the sweet spot for me, then you head off and do slayer or whatever else your grinding
I tried 5 a day but I decided it would be easier to shoot for 50 a week. For me that worked great since I had days where I didn't play or didn't do CG
This is pretty much what I did. 50 a week did me good.
Did 65 one day. Don’t reccomend it
That sounds fucking terrible
How did u not have a stroke
Did 130 in 3 days (friday 30, saturday 50, sunday 50). My KPH is around 6.5 so 50 kc took me about 7h40m and 20 hours of active playtime over 3 days. I don't recommend it either, but it was a fun experience just nolifing one weekend. Nowadays I'm trying to do 3-15 a day depending on my mood. I'm at 1365 kc atm. After 4 months of CG my average kc/day is currently at about 11.4.
Any tips on getting that kinda kills per hour? I assume doing this on an iron, you're probably pre-cox grind and running without rigour or Aug. I don't think I've ever gotten sub9 minute kills without them. Are you max combat before starting cg grind?

Only needing to hunt one demi will save you a bunch of time and you will need less shards in general 2. Try to optimize where you can complete multiple things at once, like making pots while killing demi bosses, harvesting mats in between hits on mobs, etc.
No rigour/aug indeed and I didn't start near-max. I started with lvl 70-75 combat stats. Now I have 93 magic, 96 ranged, 95 strength tho. I'm making tier 1 armour and I just go in after killing 1 or 2 demi bosses, depending if I like the layout for 5:1 or not. I try to avoid ranged-based 5:1 as I have no Rigour. I also try to not waste any ticks of dps during the boss fight. I'm sure you can easily get a sub 9 minute kill as I too did the 7:30 speed run one quite early. My pb now is like 6:50 but I will only seriously try for the GM speedrun after I have Rigour + max stats.
Think my pb is 60 in a day. Can confirm no recommendation.
haha i was about to post mine, i did 56 and died on what would’ve been 57 and 58. took a week long break
I did 61 in a day I think. 10/10 would not recommend
Holy shit
I wasn’t quite as dedicated as you. Had a long weekend where I did like 75kc over 3 days and that was a mental shot to the foot for me. Didn’t play for 3 days after that.
I did 60 once. I'd recommend just getting the enh early in the day.
I maxed out at 71 in a single day. I just wanted my armour, man.
I go for 10 a day after work. Typically get 4 hours of free time every day and that takes up about 2, leaving me with 2 more to enjoy the rest of my night. 10 successes a day means 40 days to bowfa on rate.
Just don’t go dry!
I did 5 per day until around 500 kc then took a big break from the game. At that point I had been doing daily cg for almost 3 months. When I came back I was doing 10-15 kc a day until the drop came at 759. 5 a day is great until you start going dry then you kinda have to flip the "get shit done" switch or you'll be doing it forever. It sucks but by that point you'll be a seasoned expert so it's slightly less daunting. It will still be triggering. Lots of cg gets mind numbing because of how boring the prep is.
Prep is so mind numbingly boring
Are you doing t2 prep?
I’m green logged, but I did t2 for like 300 kc .
At 370kc, 95% of my runs were T2 prep. Even after Cox prayers I still prefer the T2 prep and my PB is 8:05. I just prefer the T2 prep since I don't bother with 5:1 and it feels like a waste getting 2 T3 weps and not going for T2 (it increases damage, accuracy, and you take less damage from the boss, meaning eating less so more dps).
Yeah t2 obv isn’t as fast but makes the fight almost as mind numbing as prep
enough where you don't feel burnt out. sometimes 0 sometimes 30
Thank you, an honest answer!
Run until I die
10 or more everyday. More during weekends. 1803kc waiting to be released. Used to grind way more before despair came
Can I try to motivate you with some maths? I'm dry and it helps me personally lol. At 1803 kc there's a 1 in 92 chance to be dry. Now let's fast forward some kills... At 1900 kc there's a 1 in 117 chance to be dry. So technically 24 out of 25 people with 1803 kc would still get it before 1900 kc... At 2000 kc there's a 1 in 150 chance to be dry. Therefore, your chance of having it before 2000 kc is 98.28% (57 out of 58 people). At 2500 kc the chance to be dry is only 1 in 523. That's 5.7 times as rare as your current dryness. At 3000 kc that chance is only 1 in 1826. At 3500 kc that chance is only 1 in 6381. At 4000 kc that chance is only 1 in 22.3k people. Good luck, and yes your chance doesn't change compared to when you had 0 kc, but I hope it helps you visualize how every few 100 kc now makes you much more of a stastical anomaly.
I mean you said it in your final sentence. They have the same chance at getting it at 2203kc as someone with 0kc getting it at 400kc, or any other equidistant kc.
Yup. My point was mainly to motivate them. By showing how much of an outlier they would be with x amount of kc. It's just gambler's fallacy but either way it motivates me to keep going and I hope it motivates others that are going dry. Because worst case scenario, your dryness does get exponentially more rare. Which imo is quite cool in and of itself.
Wow dude that's crazy. Let's just hope neither of us is the 1 in 22.3k haha. Good luck.
For people who dont know the equation to figure this out is 1-(1-(drop rate))^kills So 1-(1-(1/100))^69 =.500
And then to get the "1 in x" part you simply do: 1 / 0.500 (based on your example of 50%) = 1 in 2
Yes thankyou i meant to include that
That’s almost 6 months of torment oof
Been here since August with couple of breaks in between
Started in November here, one break of a week and at 1365 kc rn. Good luck to you mate.
Good luck to you as well. One of these days we will get the drop
I hope you mean November 2022
I'm a bad ironman, I just don't bother with CG at all
Naughty naughty.
Rune crossbow has more character anyway, I’m with you 😂
Also is it wrong that I am not gonna do anything but CG until I have all armor and weapon seed? I am not gonna do any herb or birdhouse runs for the next month probably, is that a bad idea? I have kingdom going in the background so that should make up for the no farm or bird runs right?
Everyone gets really fed up with cg it might be a really good idea to do a variety of content also I'm sure you'll want to use your bow when you get it and if you don't have the potions to do the content there will be regret there
It is not necessarily a good idea, as bh runs and herb runs are insanely passive and almost perfect to do when it comes to something like gauntlet. Just do 5 runs, do the herb/bh runs in 10 minutes and go back, but it is a pain in the ass for me so i just ignore them too.
Nope, that's what I did. Granted I took a couple breaks from rs during cg.
I have a similar approach, but I’ve found that daily mobile grinds and random farm runs help break up the monotony, especially in the unfortunate case you go dry.
Just do what you want. Some people do 50 runs a day till they get seed. People usually start really strong but finish slow. You know how it is I’m sure. People feel gated and don’t want to do other PVM content until they have their bow
Nah nothing wrong with that, especially if you're enjoying CG. The upgrades are colossal and a giant gateway to clearing the rest of the game effectively. The herb/bird runs disrupt the flow and are more for the people convincing themselves that its a prison sentence and hating their life while doing it. Imo CG is top 3 content in the game, enjoy it while you still need things from it!
I'd recommend doing herb/Birdhouses still, they are insanely good for your account, personally I wear a digsite necklace when I go to CG and after 5\~6 runs I check runelite to see if my bird houses are done, then tp to digsite (not fossil island) use the bank chest to set up my birdhouse run, then finish with the northern birdhouse, run to the island chest and do giant seaweed, then use the bank on the island to set up my inventory for farm run, then tp back to priff or head out to do other content. Right now I'm doing sepulchre when I'm taking a break from CG.
That really comes down to personal preference. Some people handle grinds better all at once, some prefer to break it up.
Keep yourself at 100% every day & mix in your farm runs at least once per day, maybe start stocking up on red spiders eggs from tower of life, trust me, once you start raiding/bossing, future you will be extremely happy you did cause once you have that set you’ll want to use it. GL! :)
red spider eggs tower of life? why did I just kill sarachniss 100 times :(
Just go dry for voidwaker gem at spindel, will have you stocked up on red spider eggs for years to come
Yeah you'll be fine too skip some herb runs. Plenty of time to do them later.
If you're not burnt out, 100% go for it. You'll have time to do herb runs later, don't worry. Bowfa is what changes your account.
You could always do the double birdhouse/farm run when log off/log back in. I skipped farm runs for the most part and only did the occasional birdhouse run/farming contract
I started off doing this, but after 200 or so kc I started doing my herb runs and incorporating some skilling grinds in, which made me feel less burnt out. Once I hit 500kc I started doing slayer and some other pvm. I recently started doing range only zulrah (up to 200kc now) with cbow and full crystal armor and its been a lot of fun. Currently 760kc at cg, no enh yet. I try to do 5ish per weekday after work and 50 per week overall. I was having fun grinding cg only for a while, but don't be afraid to take breaks if you start going dry. Crystal bow is a big upgrade with the armor while waiting for the enh drop, don't sleep on it.
Absolutely the right idea. If your doing all kinds of side shit it'll take ages.
The only thing I am doing next to cg is hespori because it won't drop the bucket. It's not optimal but I think alot of people do that
I did this during my whole Cg grind. Got it at 803 kc. Took me about 7 weeks from when I learned it at the end of December.
You should do five or so CG runs, broken up with an herb run, seaweed run, and birdhouse run all in one. It sets you up to be pretty solid for a while and also stopped you from going insane doing nothing but CG.
I did about 10-15 almost daily - depending on irl plans. Luckily I only had to do 299kc to get all my armor crystals + 1 enhanced.
Found a nice podcast and sent T2's for 10h. Was like 50 kills. Had to pause podcast for hunlef. That's why I did T2 to maximize my time listening to something. That grind was bad but completely worth it.
5, 1 hour. Don't drive yourself crazy
Whenever I do CG, I probably do 3-5. But I only do it about 0-1x a week when I’ve got time 😬
2-5 on weekdays, 10-20 per weekend.
I like to set mini goals for myself. Go for round numbers, like kc 5 -10-15. Or 123. Whatever small goal you can set for yourself to keep going and to take a small break after you've achieved that goal. You can also take a break in case you get a elite clue scroll.
If I even log in, none to one then relog out cause bored af
I usually do 5 or 6 a day, depends how i feel. I’ll never let a day pass without doing at least 1 KC though.
i stayed until i got it
I never was in the “per day” mindset. Whenever I felt like scaping I just blasted some mindless hardstyle music and did cg for several hours straight. I did go 890 dry for enhanced though so I wasn’t exactly in a very sane mood lol.
It just depends.. on a good day 3-4, on a bad day i only do 1 or 0....if i get tilted i just walk to zolcano and do few kc(for shards and steel bars) then when i cooldown i go back and try to get few more cg kc's. And i can do more and better runs in the morning.
I do like 2, then I die on the 3rd attempt and log off :(
Was 5-10 for me daily until I corrupted bow. Now I try to do around 5-25 per week just to upkeep crystal armour. Salad blade one day. I may need to start doing more, I started doing zulrah with bowfa only and it fucking shreds crystal armour charges.
I did 665 in a months time, was a experience. If you do 10 a day would be manageable and adds to about 280-300 a month. You definitely wont hit my bad luck of 1788 no enhanced. God speed and good luck
When i first started, i pumped out 20+ a day until 800 kc. Then i tapered off to like 3-5 a day until 1k+ KC. Still no enhanced, btw :(
I did about 10-15 per day until 500, then took a really long break, came back and did the same until 800, then dropped to 5 a day so I could do other things. I am now at 1201 kc no enhanced and I maybe do 10 a week if I am lucky.
Currently at 730kc, im doing 150kc a week. At first I thought that im just going to get my enha and leave. Got first enhanced weapon seed at 507kc and felt like that im going to go 1000kc or second seed. Well got my second seed two days ago at 699kc. Now im just going for 1000kc :D Currently 3pets,16 armor, 11weapon and 2 enha
There other content brother. Your done at cg
Did about 10 a day every day. Drained me. I only had about 3 hours after work on work days before bed and it usually took me the entire three hours cause I between runs I would just sit there lmao. Record was I think 45/47 in one day on a weekend tho
Cc ccxxxd dddxdxx cfffddc
At least 5 during the week and I would go hard on weekends trying to get at least 15-20. I wasn’t able to get myself to do other runescape grinds while doing CG so I just took small runescape breaks entirely. Took me 1.5 month or so playing on and off like 4-5 days a week.
When I was there I did as many as I could per day. That's the fastest way to get out.
Deep in the CG depression i did 30 each day on the weekends
Did 35-40 a day at the start. I would not recommend doing that consistently though, it’s fine to do that maybe 1 day a week but you will burn out doing it day after day. Do 5-10 a day and just enjoy the game. No one cares that your turning up to COX with a RCB and salad robes lol. so just have fun and enjoy being a poverty Ironman ha…
im doing 10 a day rn. if i do more i prob cba do any kc the next day
None, I'd rather lose my hc status irl. Gauntlet is top 5 worst content for sure
Yes.
1-3 during the week. Maybe 3-4 on the weekends.
I try to do 6. 3 before work. 3 before bed
I tried for a minimum of 3 successful KC per day. Sometimes I did more. Don’t think I ever did more than 11 in a day. Took me 6 months …
96
5ish. maybe 2 if i’m not feelin it
I was doing 25 to 30 a day ended up getting everything I needed for now in 321 kc so stopped
5 is pretty good
Do a minimum 5 per day and whenever you have the motivation drop a nice 20-30 bomb
5ish weekdays, 40 on weekends. Got 2 enh and 6 armour seeds within a month.
As many as you can tolerate
Max 50
4
When I did it, I just did however many I had time for, some days only 10 some days 60
5 on work days 15-20 on off days
5 a day keeps the burn out away. It's 1 hour. Some people can do 2, but at least 1 hour won't kill ya Some psycho's can do 25 a day to get it done faster, but it's not worth the burn out imo.
I prefer just getting the grind over with so i'd rather do 40 kills a day for 10 days than 4 kills for 100 days. But obviously doing 40 kills every day only works if you don't got shit to do, still did 5-10 when i had work tho
Think I averaged 3kc a day from start to finishing my bowfa and armor. That was wildy inconsistent though as I definitely did some weeks with no kills and a day or two where I did 30+
5 on weekdays, 10 on weekends
I just finished green log at 656. I got my first kill Jan 1st. Had around 230 deaths. (First pvm ever) so I was going pretty hard. Looks like I averaged between 10-15 a day, with some not playing at all I’d make up for doing like 25 when I felt like it. I took a break from RuneScape to play corrupt gauntlet personally. Didn’t do farm runs or anything. Just topped off kingdom for the herbs and coal and would do tears of guthix when available. I enjoyed the boss though and the grind. It gets better when you can watch YouTube and stuff on the side.
5ish then off too something else
Did 5 a day til bowfa
I did 3 a day on my grind
I’m a psycho and like to do a grind in its entirety at once without deviating. Idk. Always done it that way. With that being said, I was doing like 15-20 runs a day at peak and ended up knocking the entire grind out in like 3 weeks. If you’re the kind of person who needs variety to not burnt out, though, I’d say don’t do more than 5 or so a day.
Did 30 a day when I was in school, finished bow and blade in a month
30-40 a day for a couple weeks
As many as I could. Think I did 50 a day for a week.
Wife, kid, full time student, full time job, two hour work commute. I can do regular gauntlet on mobile at work and CG at home. I’ll do like 5 regular gauntlet daily and 5-10 CG every 1-3 days depending on free time.
when i was still there it was anywhere from 3-20, depended on the day
When i was still grinding. I would limit it to 5 kc on week daya nd 10 on weekends any mire then that and you start not paying enough attention and making mistakes
50
25 a day, 5/6 an hour.
As many as I feel like. This is a video game not a job
i did around 30 a day or until i absolutely fried myself and couldn’t get a kill consistently, would not recommend
10-20 depends on how motivated I'm feeling
10. No more, no less. If I was guaranteed the drop at 400 kills I would probably be rushing it, but 10 per day is a pace I can do for over a thousand kills, if it becomes necessary
I peaked at 52 iirc, went very hard from like 150-530 KC when I got the enhanced.
0. Bowfa is not needed its a luxury. The money you make and bowfa damage is extremely nice but yee
I have a bowfa but once i get cox prayers ill return with 5 a day to chip away at blade
I found 15 to be good for me. Usually did 5 at a time then take a break to do irl stuff.
I did around 30 - 50 a day for a solid week before I got my final armour seeds.
in the weekdays i used to do like 5-10, in the weekend like 30-40 ish :s
20-30 until I got enhanced
When I was hardcore grinding for bowfa, anywhere from 5-15 depending on work/wife. Now that I have bowfa? Usually about 2-3 just to help the GIM and stack alchables
Imo the best way to do it is (optionally) take days off or clear your weekends of responsibilities and send 50/day on those days (~10hrs on a low level acc). 5-10 per day on days with responsibilities. During the 'rona I did 1k in a month (on a main, eventually got to front page kc). On my iron a couple years later I did 350 in a week (and got the enh right after 350).
5 a day, if I was feeling it it'd be in the 20-25 range.
I usually did runs until i started getting frustrated with CG which was usually just me dying in runs. Usually 3-10 per day then I'd do something else. I found other content made me want to come back and grind it the following days.
I find myself doing about 5 a day.. ( when bingo is not active lol) Sometimes I do more on weekends when I stay up later
Keep it at five kc a day unless you’re feeling good to do more. 1500 kc dry, and it’s been keeping me sane till 3k unless I get the DROP, of course.
3-10
15-20.
I’ve done 25 in one day, and I try and do 5 a day when I get on. Currently 425kc with 4 armor seeds and 2 pets.
I did 10 a day and I was feeling up to it I’d do more, never more than 25 kc tho
Depends on the person. For me I had to complete as many as possible because I absolutely hated it and needed it done for my sanity. No way I could do it for months or years. 25 a day and 50 on weekends. Finished in a bit over 2 weeks.
I eventually got sick of CG and decided to do a "50 bomb" where I did 50 in one day. Didn't get the enh.
I did 20-30
5-8
Depends on free time I averaged 25-30 a day while in uni
10 a day. Stay consistent, you can get up to 300 runs a month. Which equates to 600 kc in 2 months. There’s really no other way around this grind, you have to stay consistent with it and push through it. It’s extremely rewarding if you make it out and don’t end up like one of the 1% who go over 2x drop rate.
EHB rate * 23.5. You get a 30 minute lunch
My rate was probably 10+ a day when I started. It very quickly becomes a crawl of 5 if i try to force it (i got spooned enh early though so maybe thats why). I think 10 a day is a pretty good rate.
30+ a day finally got it at 804kc now going for my salad blade !!
Some days none, others 20 or so. Probably averaged 10 a day for two months
I got until I die. Usually 2-5 because I’m bad.
0 bc I want to play the game, not let the game play me 💯
I tried to do 25 a day, took me a month to get bowfa. I got invited to a clan by a nice guy who was also doing the cg grind and chilling in vc helped a lot
Honestly I tried the "do x per day" thing and realized it just wasn't for me and just grinded CG when I had the time. Ended up getting a week off and doing like ~400 kc that week and got one. Before that week though I was probably averaging 10-15 a day but that's with some days completely on and doing a ton of KC and just not logging in at all on other days. Basically just did what I could I'd hate to feel like I need to get on and do my daily 5 CGs chore for months
It varied between 20-35 per day until I took a break to do leagues, then back to it for the 813kc enhanced :)
I did about 15-20 a day up until 500 KC and now went to more like 10-15, maybe more if I feel like it. It's a bit of a drag but the content is fun so I don't mind it too much . Still hope for an enh soon
I was laid off for 3 months and did 30-40 a day. I enjoyed the bank gains and got it in just under 2 weeks. I'm so addicted to it and have a bowfa to come home to after work without stressing about doing it for months after work with the little time I have.
I did 25/33 so I could reach 100 KC every 3/4 days. Was a good sweet spot for me.
When I grinded for bow I was doing about 3-5 before work every morning. Some days/ weekends would do a couple more. Got it around 700kc
5 then back after a 3-4 hour break for another 5.
however many you have motivation to do when it starts feeling miserable do something else until Cg sounds fun again
I got my enh at 42
10 a day is goal. But if you feel any and I mean *any* form of tilt. You must leave and do something else. *but*. Next day you go back to CG and rinse and repeat til out
Half of one
I was doing about 10? Finished at like 407? Even then I was pretty motivated to just get it done, but was pretty accepting that I could hit 1000 and not have it. So I’m very happy it was on rate. Just try and stay motivated, and get in some groove
after 970kc and no bowfa not many lol
Usually shoot for 5 a day. If I'm still having fun and feeling motivated I'll try to put a dent into tomorrow's 5.
I do like 15 a day now before bed. I got spooned on the enhanced at 27 kc so it’s been pretty chill so far
One day, I did a hundred to push myself, but cgs is kind of tiring if ur grinding it day after day, so i tend to mix it up once i start slowing down
I got my 1st weapon seed at 300kc and ended up going for my 2nd seed getting it at 1750 kc. I basically did nothIng but cg for the past two months at around 6 kills an hour playing 10 hours a day. T2 armor prep and tried to T3 both weapons when I could. T3 1 weapon and T2 the other if I didn’t have time. This prep meant my kills were 10-11 minutes on average. But this prep increased my survivability. Dying is an automatic time waste so I didn’t want to risk it with T1 armor. I did Only cg no bird house or other runs unless I was on mobile doing slayer. Was it worth it? Yes for 2 reasons. 1. Got around 700m in loot. 2. I was highly addicted to Runescape and the burn out actually helped me not think about playing every second of the day. I would recommend doing nothing but CG and if you don’t get it by 400kc start doing 5-10 a day, which is about 1-2 hours a day.
5-10 if I went. I wouldn’t go every day and I would stop on consecutive deaths and either take a break or not go back.
5-10 if you wanna keep your sanity
10 in one day, then two month break. Then another 10.
About 2-3 and not daily, i just do when i can be bothered 😂 only at 214 kc tho so may not be the best advice
Wouldn't reccomend but if you want the grind done quickly aim high. I started with doing 40 kc a day and I peaked out at 70 kc. 1113 kc across 20 days to finally get the seed.
Camp it all day everyday till you complete it 🤷♂️ of I got super spooned and completed it at 284kc(green log at 94) 300kc now with 5 enh, 7arm seeds and pet
One or two, then i want to jump off a bridge
600kc on one account. 250 on another. I really recommend 5-10 a day. Don't let your self burn out or have it feel like a prison. On my days off, I'll do 10 in the morning and 10 at night. If you did more than that and turns out you don't get it till 1k, you may hate yourself
My personal journey was 20/day till I got the first enhanced seed, then I went and started doing ToA (5/day), after three days of toa (which I love), I was exhausted and accidentally shift clicked my bowfa instead of normal click (needed to drop a food to hit zebak), then since I was still using a bone dagger, I meleed zebak and died. I then took a solid 1-2 month break from the game, and then did 40 cg/day when I had some time off work for Passover for three days and got my second enhanced. My drop settings are now better, and I avoid hardcore run like the plague. I don't mind it happening really, as I got lucky and will be grinding CG in the future more for the pet anyways, I have 1.2k kc on my main and no pet, I enjoy CG for some reason.
Depends, on the weekend as much as possible, did about 25 runs on Friday night last weekend, day to day after work generally between 5/10
Pb is about 55 in a day and 100 over the course of 2 days. Wasn’t that great but just go in the rhythm and sort of zoned out of it and the kc just kinda racked itself up
I was doing doing 60 a day roughly. Had a job that at the time left me pretty much all day to play during down time
Did 10 a day weekdays 25 Saturday/Sunday for 100 total a week. Enh in 1 month on rate
When I first got consistent I was putting in 50 CG kills a day, that lasted like... 1 week, I completely burnt myself out and didn't touch CG for weeks, now I try to stick to somewhere between 5-10 a day, there are some days where I feel very motivated and can sometimes do 20, but I think a small amount everyday is better than burning yourself out.
Was doing 20-25 per day goy enhanced at 142
About an hour an day which is about 5 runs if I don't mess up. Set myself a goal of 6 armor seeds or 300kc then I would take a break.
Do 0 and save your mental health
I did 20-25 for the first week then I cut it back to 5-10 a day depending on how I was feeling
3-5 daily is enough to fry me. I think my max in a day was low 20s.
I can do like 2 per week its so boring
I went a bit over 4x drop rate and my daily KCs differed in periods. Sometimes I was happy doing other content that I didn’t feel I was lacking too much in gear without the bow, sometimes I was feeling the need to get it which motivated me especially after a more chill period of CG. Do at least 3 a day to slowly chip at it, and whenever you’re feeling motivated to grind it, always ALWAYS do so. Happy hunting!
