Is an Army Worth it?

Well I am thinking of running 5 sorceress garden bots on a VPS, but I am unsure if it's actually worth the investment and time. I'm only looking to get a little extra spending money doing this, so I'm not looking for insane profits.

One reason I'm skeptical is because of how low herb prices are at the moment, and also how many bots are at the garden farming herbs.

Can anyone that currently does this tell me if it's worth it or not? Does it take a lot of time to manage per day, if at all?

On a side note, is PhotonVPS' warp 3 good enough for 5 sorceress garden bots? I know there is a VPS sticky but this pertains to the topic and I'd like a quicker answer.

Thanks for any help.

 

The amount of other people don't really matter except for when the bot clicks but even then I doubt it would effect it.

 

I'm running 2 bots right now in the Garden, the bot I use updates GE prices, so I'm still making around 250,000 an hour per account. I'd say, only use a few accounts until you start making good profit, then step up your game. If you begin making at least 7$ a day like me, then go ahead and start botting more and more accounts. Its only worth it if you can completly pay for the accounts by the end of the month

 

Lol edited to attempt to keep gold prices up = )

 

Well I just mentioned it because with the mass amount of people doing it, herb prices certainly will drop, right?

@Andrew, I also thought about just doing 2 at first, but I have a little spare cash now and I figured if I can get a VPS for 5 bots why not start at 5 lol. I've already got the 5 accounts and they all have membership, just getting them to 65 thieving at the moment. I'm confident I will at least be able to make back the cost of the VPS, if not much more.

Still looking for any input! Thanks to those who have replied!

EDIT: @TM- thank you so much for that! That is very helpful and I think I've made my mind up that I'm going to do it. Do you know if warp 3 can handle 5 bots?

 

Actually, -113 a month (price of auth )

Nonetheless, these calculations tempt me to start doing thissss.

 

^ Yeah your right I included the auth in the /month costs haha...

I think I'm gonna take that down so not too many people start to do it...

And idk if a Warp 5 can handle 5 bots. Persia would probably be the person to ask about that. He said he can run 8 ASGP bots on it and he was going to try 10, but he also runs other bots although I'm not sure if on that VPS.

TBH I'd get a Warp 4 and aim for 8 accounts, as the profit rises pretty quickly.

 

Yes, TM's post definitely made my mind up. I now just need to know if Warp 3 can handle 5 bots, or if I need to get Warp 4.

Thanks guys for your help!

Edit: I was going to tell you to maybe remove that because of other people seeing it lol.

 

T M, mind PMing me who you get your upgrades from, though..?

 

PM'd you, but its not a big secret.

I buy them from JaGex via paypal for $7.50 each...

Beats the hell out of waiting 48 hours with 5 hours on Sythe + Being scammed for 30m until you finally find a legit seller.

 

how easy is it to get banned in sorc garden though? is botting on mains say 5-6 hrs a day risky?

 

^ Considering there are 20 accounts per world 24/7ing it, I'd say your safe...

Recently they rolled back the membership on your account. So if you get caught its good bye $8... Lol.

 

Not easy to get banned in sorc garden at all tbh, and yes, this is def something you cant rush into unless you have major startup money, atm im botting 6 accounts and when im ready im buying a vps and buying 8 accounts on sythe etc am just gonna keep on expanding

 

Well I already have 5 accounts all with fresh membership, and I have the auth already, so all I need now is the VPS which I will probably get tomorrow.

I plan to eventually expand if I can manage 5.
