tl;dr

1. depends on ticks

2. seren posts best way

3. i wouldnt say so no.

4. 99 120 and 200m for invention also 150 not counted (wont matter anyway as 150 is at 196m xp or something i cant remember)

5. i dont think so. as not all skills can be done there. (i think)

You barely gave any input with your answers? How credible are they?

1) Assuming im using crystalize on trees at lvl 99, and get an xp drop every 4 ticks (i mentioned oak as an example), does it matter if i crystallize a low tier tree vs a high tier one?

3) Why not? According to what Timbo said it makes perfect sense to me.

4) So to sum it up, anything from lvl 1 to lvl 120 (150 for inv) gets a linear chance increase while reaching 200M gives the only threshold for a pet chance, yes?

5) I only care about hunter and mining on the farye. Will ask it somewhere else.

Thanks.

they are as credible as you take it.

1. as stated for time based its tick based so more ticks per hour better chance.

3. if i understand it correctly, dg is xp based, best way to explain it would be giving it a simple value, lets say pet chance is 1:10,000,000 the more xp you get the higher chance of rolling the pet. so if you are getting lower overall xp its lower overall chance of rolling pet. if it makes "perfect sense" why question it. :L

4.no 99 120 200m have thresholds, 150 isnt counted as a threshold.

5. oh so you meant does the fayre activities give chance of pet. as pets have been gotten on other activities id say yes.

3) Yes, dung is xp based, but the formula works a bit differently than the other skills. They intentionally cripple it as if you're having a solo floor penalty (party size = 1) which makes sense as dung is an easy 1m xp/hr skill with high enough lvls.

I havent tested this yet but assuming i have a 5man team with a party size set to 1, i should get more xp than being completely solo, which means its the best way to get the pet chance.

For example if i solo a floor and it gives 10k xp, compared to if i 5man a floor and it gives 50k xp (set on a party size of 5) compared to if i 5man a floor and it gives over 10k xp (set to a party size of 1).
The 3rd scenario should give the highest pet chance among the 3, while scenario 1 & 2 are equal.

So, assuming im right, the best method to farm gordie is to find 4 other people (or 3 + party sim) who are willing to sacrifice their xp gain and set the party size to 1.

4) Timbo doesnt mention any threshold for lvls 99 and 120, only for 200m xp.

try it

yeah he only uses that threshold to show how its worked out. otherwise its the same formula just 1 number changed depending on 99 or 120. would of time typing.


no

Alrighty then. ^

Some new Q's that came up in my mind..
They said that cb pets work in terms of xp drops but they havent shown any modifiers so how does one work exactly?
Asking specifically for prayer btw..

Whats the best way to get the prayer pet? Since buffs wont count as xp drops, i'd assume g altar and chaos altar are bad ways to farm it, which means the hefin altar is the only viable way, yes (or what about the ectofuntus..?)?
Tho i heared many friends got it from high tier bones on g altars so yea more insight needs on this area.

more xp per hour higher chance.

i got my prayer pet 22m xp over 120, main bulk of it was from frosts on altar (how i would train anyway) but i got it using frosts in wildy with prayer brawlers

best viable way it depends on how prayer xp is worked if altar xp counts as all if the extra doesnt.

I think regard to calculations its the same if the bone was buried normally or using altar/ecto since they modify the base xp. The reason you would want it to do it at altar or ecto would be that you level more for the bones you use. To put it simply the best bones/ashes will give you the more chances.

What am I doing wrong? I have 18 - Level 99 skills...I have gotten one skilling pet. I have seen so many players that have lower levels than me and have pets. Lower level players with lower level skill xp.
You're not doing anything wrong. It comes down to luck, so someone might get one much sooner or much later than someone else, whether they're a higher or lower level.
