no

#

this question gets asked all the time and the answer is no

#

it's a short grind for a very powerful weapon

Your other option is to complete two raids

#

bowfa is an ironman handout item. you get a tbow quality item at somewhere in the 1/6 to 1/10th of the time

#

if ur gunna skip it you probably want to do a shitload of slayer before starting any pvm -> go do toa to completion at the start for masori and shadow

#

you can fang zb warden p1 at toa, once youve got a fang go to hydra, go do some crappy chambers of xeric for dex -> go finish up toa

#

but people who really are capable of sending v high invo toas with melee warden and such are just gunna go do cg most likely.

#

alternatively you can do megascales and just start your account with a tbow. none of these things are easier than just doing cg.

#

you probably want to just do cg and not lock yourself there- go do raids1/3 with crystal armor cbow if you go dry, etc

What is zb in this context?

#

“Fang zb”

#

zebak. S7efen is the only person I’ve ever seen call it that though

#

Crystal bow vs bowfa is probably 20% ish at zebak which is a 0 resource kill anyway right? Fang seems unnecessarily sweaty

#

I suppose if it’s the difference between consistent time limit or not

#

yeah if you have crystal bow and armor thats fine. its what like 40 max hit with dex vs 46?

#

if you have no crystal armor though fang over bp/rcb would prob be worth the effort

#

if ur gunna send 300 cg on rate for armor though... just get the bowfa

#

Lol I sent 600 and only have armor to show for it

#

I enjoy TOA a lot though and I’m kinda mentally moving on

#

And I have fang too

jagged iron
#

idk maybe thats the play. like once i got shadow and masori crystal 100% in the bank for chambers

#

strongly preferred it there, so i guess if your toa raids are decent you could just hard camp

#

What did u do for head phase chambers

jagged iron
#

dhcb

#

theres a pipe drag method though if you dont yet have

hidden tartan
#

Yeah those clicks look insane though

jagged iron
#

people did regular bp headphase forever tbh

#

its definitely annoying

hidden tartan
#

ya when bp was cracked lol

#

bp rune / amethyst is barely better ( ~5-10% ) than crystal bow and 5x sweatier

#

d darts are close to bowfa

#

( assumes eagle eye )

#

i mean irons used addy which compared to masori rune is similar

hidden tartan
#

yeah the masori makes a big diff no doubt

#

full masori rune > bowfa by like 5%

#

honestly bigger diff than i expected

#

i might just stay at TOA until masori before cox then 🙂
