Dbow only 6M now. Is it even worth doing over Abbys?
Surprisingly, you can kill a lot more Dark Beasts per hour than you can Abyssals. With the drop rate of the D Bow being around that of the Whip (Based on a sample of ~3.4M Dark Beasta) it means, ofc, that D Bows can fall under the price of a whip, and potentially remain the same profit/hour.
If I'm honest though, I'm not entirely too worried about it. Really what I wanted to do with 2007 was just to enjoy it, and do my fair share of HAM'ing. I'm at the point now where I'll probably slow down/relax on the playtime, so I'll just do whatever I enjoy/whatever I feel is best for the time. If Abyssals become better money/hour than Dark Beasts, then I'll head back there, if I feel like it. Most likely though, I'll probably (illogically) leave Dark Beasts and go back into a little skilling/questing spree pretty damn soon.
Now, something to keep in mind though - Even if a D Bow hits the same price as a whip (Currently ~3.6M) it'd still be better to do Dark Beasts. At Beasts, you can factor in Piety/Cannon, and you'd still be turning the same profit. 3.6M - 1M for a bow, and 1.33-1.66 (We'll use 1.33) bows per whip, that's 2.6*1.33, 3.45M, as opposed to 3.6M, but you get the added benefit of fucktons of XP quicker, and ranged XP. This is just going into item price, and not GP/Hour though.

yes higher xp n hour ur gettin like xp wise 22-25k hp xp.hr n ur cannoning so u also get range xp so gg + aslong as u get a bow per 12k balls ull be fine but avg is 1:6.8
1 Bow per 6.8K Balls? IDK about that one Dan.
DR based on that sample size of 3.4M is ~1:486, which hints at using ~13.37 (dem numbers) balls/kills, which is really only possible if you're letting the cannon do
everything.. Should be far lower.
