When Jagex initially released the NPC known as a "Glacor" on the 14th of September, 2011, I had only intended to casually try them out. A few thousand kills later (each one taking an average of one minute and 14 seconds), I resolved to start logging every drop so that my endeavor might bring forth information that would benefit others. I continued this until the effigy nerf which took place on February 14th, 2012. At this time, I had the largest amassed Glacor drop log that I knew of, but I never got around to compiling and publicly releasing it. Recently, I was browsing through my documents and recalled I still had this log sitting in a digital crevice of my computer. I concluded I would share it with Consentus, hoping that it may serve as an asset to one of you.
I would have enjoyed making a complete guide for you alongside these statistics, but with the advent of the EOC and all other changes that have sprung up since my killing spree, I no longer possess the knowledge required for this. A general guide can be found
here.
Notes:
-All of these numbers are still accurate to date except the ones for effigies
-I did not use the ring of wealth to increase my chances of accessing the rare drop table
-Clues were all either left on the ground or completed immediately for accurate log input
-Charms, effigies, clues, and air runes are all considered "additional drops", meaning when you receive these you still get your "normal" drop as well Format: Drop name (Number dropped at a time) : Times recieved : Drop rate(%) : Longest streak(kills between drops of the same type) : Shortest streakTotal Kills (logged): 7770

Using this log and current prices at the time of this post, the average drop from a Glacor is worth
44,723 gp.
(This assumes you are using the shards of Armadyl to create an Armadyl battlestaff and does not include anything for clue scrolls)Based on my research, I presume 90+ kills an hour is quite possible in RS3. This would make the average gross profits
4,025,109 gp+ per hour (with max/near max stats and above average equipment).
The experience rates per hour would be as follows:
494,235 Magic
164,745 Constitution
658,980 totaland the charms:
24 Gold
24 Green
103 Crimson
100 BlueAlthough making effigies more sparse and the plummeting price of numerous items has made Glacors less enticing, they are still quite lucrative and a great source of experience. It is with confidence that I give this data a new home on the Consentus forums. Happy killing, fellow travelers.
