Sup gamers,

As I come to 975kc dry of Bowfa I’m in need of a break and want to work on some PVM goals.

Max combat stats and Dwh/Dhl. How realistic is it to use the crystal bow at bandos and TOA as I take a break from CG.

Still need cox prayers but not sure if I could get a group or join a team raid without Bowfa.

Thoughts?

Bandos will be miserable because past a certain fight length you have to eat and it gets fucky

#

ToA you can do

I think going to the finish line, then doing pvm before bowfa is a poor decision

#

if you want a break from cg I'd go for skilling

#

imo the crystal bow stuff is not a good idea at all and I'd shy away from it. Any pvm you do with it now is just slower and more challenging than after you get your bowfa

Hmmm good point, just needing a break. Maybe I’ll go finish up my elite diaries and play another game or a week or two. Thanks!!

Elite diaries are a good thing to get done for sure
Also one thing that I liked to do was just not really play OSRS seriously if I felt burnt out
i.e. I'd just log in for a birdhouse run here or there, or a contract here or there
After a while (maybe a couple of months), I felt ready to play again
And would spend the first week just cashing in all the herbs/nests
Good way to make sure you keep power-leveling Herblore so that it's not falling behind

Great idea, I’ve got 97 banked without all my seeds but the contract upkeep is important. I’m still feeling very motivated to play but the game has mostly been on hold for 950cg’s so it’s been my life since April. Was hoping I could still continue some PVM goals while on a break. I’ve got 99 con banked I think I’ll get that as a break.

Yea shooting for some 99s is always nice for sure. That cape is pretty convenient for clues and just getting to POH in general for pool if you need it

if you had any plans to go for vw/wildy weps that's something you could do as it's not really tied too closely to bofa and the items it helps unlock

#

skele and spider pieces just require a crush wep, bear piece does require a ranged wep and bofa would be ur best bet if no craws but u can do that one last and hopefully snag a bofa before then

#

crystal bow prob works fine tho esp cus u can risk it and bring another item that you wouldnt with bofa

#

also bofa is obviously a lot better but crystal bow with armor is perfectly serviceable for 300 rl toa if you just wanna dabble

Yeah of course, just cant get it to drop lmao. I'm 2/3 VW just need bow for artio zzz. gonna do some afk skilling and take a couple weeks off before another 300+ cg haha

#

cash stack is fat though

If you already know how to Cox i'd send some on the side lol, why not ? Getting a spooned dex/arcane might genuinely help you in your grind. Note: not efficient, but fun

Im 1930 dry and i tried this to handle a zilyana slayer task with anguish and even with the slayer helm bonus its pretty miserable

Like its said above there is a certain threshold of dps you need to hit that makes it a lot better because of being able to kill the minions between boss kills

#

A fun idea would be doing solo 150 toas till the rune pouch upgrade

#

150 is piss easy
