Onyxpected Onyx
There are several ways of obtaining an Onyx in Alora.
Many of these ways require a certain amount of resources, luck or time.
You can attempt to aquire one from the Crystal chest.
Without the luck of a staff member , I wouldn't count on it.
You can defeat "Difficult" bosses such as Skotizo and Zulrah for a meager chance at the beautiful black gem.
Alternatively
You could acquire it guaranteed by purchasing it with 300K Tokkul .
Killing Jad 10 times could earn you close to 300,000 Tokkul, as well as the "Baby Jad" Achievement, but...
Personally, I would take the easy way out
There is another way folks!!!
By killing the TzHaar people and selling their items for Tokkul, you can quickly amass the 300K Onyx threshold!

Get a slayer task!
If you have a black mask or a slayer helmet you can deal 15% more damage to your assigned slayer task.
This is too good to miss out on!
Note that if you use range / mage you must imbue your mask/helm.
In order to get the task you must unlock "Hot Stuff" from your slayer master
This will cost 100 Slayer points. Whether or not this is worth it is up to you.
This method is ideal for relatively new accounts.
Accounts in situations such as ...
A Hardcore Ironman not willing to risk it at Money Snake just yet.
An Elite or a Group Ironman who wants to grab one or two for them and their partner(s).
An Ultimate Ironman who ran out of anti-venom for Zulrah.
Any Gamemode who has received TzHaars as a Slayer task.

Toktz-Pawn-Shop
There are two shops in the TzHaar city where you can sell Toktz items.
Without Firecape
With Firecape
Magma Math This diagram showcases the 'buy' and 'sell' prices. The Staff (Toktz-Mej-Tal) and Mace (TzHaar-Ket-Em) isn't dropped by any monster, so their selling price isn't relevant and thus not included. Keep in mind that if you haven't got a Fire Cape, you wont be able to sell your Obsidian armour for Tokkul.
If you were to sell one of each item you would end up with 384.588 Tokkul In other words, you don't have to acquire every single item to get an Onyx. Example:
TzHaar targetz TzHaar-Xil (Level 133) TzHaar-Ket (Level 149)
If you sold 2 Obsidian capes , an Obsidian Shield , a maul , a sword and a platebody , that would amass to 305.100 Tokkul.
DO KILL
DON'T KILL
TzHaar-Hur (Level 74)
TzHaar-Ket (Level 221)
CAN'T KILL?
TzHaar-Mej (Level 103)
Befitting of someone grinding for a Black gem you will likely gain plenty of Blue Green Red and White gems.
You can also expect to get quite a few ensouled heads which you can exchange for 75,000 gold at your local Slayer master.
