Voidwaker

[woeful heath]

I want to get voidwaker on my ironman for the toa and the following nex grind. Im not ready for it yet but I'm planning ahead.

I would assume to use a zammy hasta for Calvar'ion and Spindel with med risks because I'm very bad at tanking if it comes to that. For Artio I would use Bowfa most likely.

What should my setups look like if I don't care about losing items like black d'hide, barrows gloves, amulets of glory or other easily accessible items? I have enough cash to fund a bunch of them.

Is it worth going for slayer tasks for the increased damage and and accuracy or should I just outright grind them?

How much kc/h could I expect at each boss with the weapons outlined above?

Would it be worth it to go for any of the rev weapons? Considering I could get the sceptre, might be unwise?

You can assume I have base 90s in all combat stats (except prayer) and the following items unlocked:

• All slayer unlocks up until and including occult and basilisk jaw (no slayer boss rewards like cerb crystal)
• Blowpipe / Serp Helm / Magic fang
• Full Bandos including Hilt
• Zammy spear
• Dex/Arcane
• Avernic

If there are any more points of concern, I'll happily answer them. Thanks a lot in advance!

[glass pike]

task/revs are worth it if u want the wildy weapons for something else or if you enjoy clogging

in general id suggest somewhat risky setups since it should be pretty impossible to die on the singles bosses if u have an alt outside scouting

also id go vetion and the rest can be singles bosses

[dense walrus]

Revs also give a hefty amount of gp if you need it for whatever reason

[woeful heath]

The only thing I care about at this point is getting the voidwaker asap. I will not go back until I need webweaver for blood torva in a couple year.

[glass pike]

really dont need webweaver for blorva

but ye then id go off task and just grind it

[dense walrus]

But yeah don't use pure rags outside of your four items, stuff like dragon boots and Barrows Gloves are worth risking

[woeful heath]

Won't be needed. I have other means of making cash passively while I go for my goals.

[glass pike]

i think something like this was my melee setup

[dense walrus]

Sounds like beelining the bosses is for you

[glass pike]

not exact since it was for both vetion and venenatis so i changed some stuff

[dense walrus]

Bludgeon is nice if you don't have chainmace, saves a slot

[woeful heath]

Not planning to go for Bludgeon.

[glass pike]

and this was the artio setup also not exact

[dense walrus]

Not worth going for first then

[dense walrus]

Was this before the freeze change or did you step back/takeoff?

[glass pike]

i stepped back and ye before change

[dense walrus]

Ah

Mystic legs + crystal top Bowfa was enough to hit guaranteed freezes post change

[glass pike]

pictures are mostly so u can estimate the risk and roughly what type of items might be useful

[woeful heath]

• Slayer helm -> Neitiznot helm?
• Ursine -> zammy hasta?
• Torva platebody -> Bandos platebody?

[glass pike]

not sure if bandos is worth bringing

can also bring proselyte to spindel

[slim pumice]

u can use torso and if u have a trouver it gets protected so u can bring a diff valuable item

[woeful heath]

dont have, not gonna get

[slim pumice]

then just use pros or dhide

[woeful heath]

Proselyte platebody and platelegs or d'hide legs and also neitiznot helm? dunno if faceguard would change risk but alternatively would do that too.

[slim pumice]

it's preference

[glass pike]

proselyte if u have alt outside and half decent reaction speed

[slim pumice]

dhide better for tanking pros better for longer trips/saving prayer

[glass pike]

dhide if u think a pker might get on u

[woeful heath]

I really dont mind losing the stuff I would lose and I have an alt to scout outside. Everything I potentially lose on pk, I should have in bulk.

[glass pike]

then id bring proselyte to spindel and dhide to vetion

[slim pumice]

for risk u just need to decide whether you wanna bring 3 or 4 protected items and then just bring a setup that maximizes str bonus between those items and the "free" items u dont mind losing

best 3 items are probably wep defender b ring

if u dont wanna risk ur dragon defender u need to be a bit careful about what losable items you bring cus some might protect over it

dboots do iirc

[woeful heath]

That only really matters for vet'ion doesnt it? If I get killed below 20 then I keep it and have to pay 240k.

[slim pumice]

spindel is 29 wild too

[woeful heath]

Fair. Not too far but still possible to die.

Why vet'ion over calvar'ion btw?

[slim pumice]

kills arent that much slower and droprates are significantly better

and regular loot is better as well

[glass pike]

also low risk since u can logout for most of the kill as long as you dodge attacks

and can kite dogs to exit so u can 1t leave if u cant logout

so need to be pretty unlucky to die even once

[woeful heath]

Sounds good. How much kc/h can I expect at each of the bosses so I can have a rough estimate of the time investment we are talking about?

[glass pike]

no clue most of us did it with wildy weapons and a long time ago

[slim pumice]

bofa artio is quite fast i wanna say like 45 kph?

unsure on other two

hasta spindel doesnt feel great by comparison but i havent rly been keeping track of kph

[merry basalt]

think I got something like 36 kph artio 32 kph spindel 40 kph calvarion

bowfa rigour artio
bludgeon piety for other two

all off-task tho

and also no tank alt for artio, that also speeds it up cuz you don't waste time freezing and you can bring thralls

whole shebang comes out to like 60-70 hour grind, took me 100 with dry streaks

[woeful heath]

thanks for the insight @merry basalt
I guess I could bang that out in a week. surely is worth it for toa/nex/cox and misc pieces of content.
