Just started the Rex grind. this is also my first time playing RS. Food is my issue at rex. I can only stay 8-10 kills before having to TP out. Rarely getting food drops.

Anyways, my question is; should i train higher defense at crab during my offtime (work) to help survive the little fish that attack? does that help?

It helps, but not by a lot. Your setup is really good

#

Are you xlogging to get into position? If you get into the safespot with a full inventory of food you should be able to stay for like 12+ kills even at 50 def, and the somewhat common food drops can extend that to 20+ on average

here's how to xlog:
you pray mage when entering the room. If prime is on you, go back up. If prime is not on you, regardless of whether supreme is on you, run south immediately and swap to pray range. Run along the south edge with prot range up until you're all the way east
Then, once east (pray range still up), trap rex in the safespot, sip a ppot so you're at least 40 prayer points or so, and click x to close the client
Wait up to a minute for supreme to walk away, log back on (or try a different world but there's a risk you're crashing someone). You're now on the east side and can deal with rex only, you're out of range of prime and supreme

I was over prep on pots first few times and died trying to figure it out.

#

Xlogging has been so helpful!

#

you only need to carry 1-2 ppots

#

also id recommend karambwans over swordfish

#

you can buy them at alfonse in brimhaven

Yeah! Definitely realized that!

its a bit annoying and expensive but they heal 18 which is great

Need more after running out. I'm in a group iron man with my brother. He has access to potato with cheese. Thoughts on using that instead?

#

karambwans are better, healing 18 over 16

#

cheese potatoes are famous for being very cheap, but ideally you'd go for quality

Perfect!

#

Only about 40 kills in and really enjoying this step. Prep work isn't too bad either.

#

Was just the fish hitting for 8-10x2 sometimes hurts

Nice gl 😄 if you get into position with like 20 karambwans (20x18 = 360 healing) instead of 10 swordfish (10x14 = 140 healing) you should immediately notice a big difference

If you happen to have an ancient mace it will be very nice sustain, maybe overkill

#

id recommend adding alchs for between the kills if you can, theres a lot of downtime

Personally I'd use karambwans as they are much faster to get
