If im being honest nobody knows what butler bell does mod husky had to ask the dev of the skill to confirm details earlier
clues will really acclerate the mid game especially with thieving
yeah like
It looks like and looks to say u can choose what things to process into stuff but then people say u cant choose
But the wording makes it look u can
i'm reloading into soul harvest tho, the other t4s dont help my build much
Its so confusing
you might have to drop all the shitty fish so he only cooks the good stuff
think of it like kingdom management
every hour you gain x amount of resources
and each tier of them is based on % chance
Right but if your collecting the resources from him and he doesnt process stuff u give him how does that work
U srr why im confused
Looks like you can pick N resources or N/2 processed resources
everythign he gathers himself he processes
so if he gathers 500 ores, he will process it and give u 250
Right but it doesnt say that
it does
It says u can chooose for him to process
I kind of wish i could trade tier 4 relic for 2-3 pact points
lol he gives no coal
I dont like any of them
so those ores kinda useless
Does he have his own bank
Plot twist he mines the coal but then needs to use it to smelt everything else
so assume ur offline 10 hours
So resources processed are processed instantly as he gathers
Meaning you never actually receive resources from him?
youll login to 1.2k iron bars, 720 mith, 240 addy, 96 rune
hey ragger
Right but am i stupid or just not getting it
just read on reddit that the crossbow max hit thing doesnt apply to the echoes
U see what i mean
so the dps is a lot lower than i previously calculated
even if the maxhit on echoes is capped at 20 for example, its still more dps than anything else with info we have rn
what beats it
😭
1t staves
from what I can tell so far, yeah
with reduced 8 base max hit?
no reveal today?
and we don't even know the stats on the two mage echo weapons for if crystal blessing will also effect mage
crossbow i think is gonna be like 35 dps tbh
yeah
Nice thing abt crossbows is double accuracy pairs well with the tank stuff cause you need less range gear, but yeah seems like less pure dps than mage
base game onyx d bolt max hit is in the 40s, like 45 maybe
lets say its 60 with the boosts in league
then another 78% incr
its gonna be far more than that
i mean like
the base hit
from extra ranged str, rigour 30% stronger etc
then 78% incr
theres a lot fo variables that arent explained fully atm
so 60 * 1.78 = 106
@plain pasture alright, my math and yours are way off
then echoes instead of being another 78% multiplier (which assumes they always max hit), its i gues more like 39% more
like how do the damages apply, etc
Time to show your work
I think i got it figured out
condolences for u
So you are just going to make a claim and not show any evidence when asked?
Come on man
im not gonna entertain ur need to question everythign everyoen says
but also the crossbow dps gets destroyed by overkill
I'm not questioning everything everyone says
If butler is gathering a resources instead of claiming it you can have him turned said resource into a processed variant, it being 0 time should mean the entire stack gets processed thats what ive come to
Thats only way it makes sense to me
yeh its 0 time farming supplies basically
Also 1 thing about magic, it seems like the only route that can abuse the +90% overheal
I'm considering larcenist and T, so the idea of having a bunch of gp is intriguing to me
However my math was closer to like 13m/hr
ranged has 0 pact healing, right? and melee has this janky thorns thing which is not reliable at all
Which is obviously very different from yours
anyone know good ealr wepaons under 1kg xD
i guess ranged with a 1h crossbow can get the 2 heal per 0 hit taken
again, i dont like u so im not wasting my time explaining basic math to you
Ok but what about everyone else here
So u can let him cook and keep gathering then when u ready can immediately turn that into a resource u need but if u change resources it will take time to regather i think i fully understand it now
from what it says, anything he gathers he can process for u.
in addition anythign you gather you can do yourself seperately
hmm yeah elves give 258 gp on avg, so 60k pickpockets is 15m/hr right?
Like I'm curious about your numbers but if you aren't gonna post them all I have to go off is the other person's
Assuming no tick loss at all
It's 3000 pickpockets an hour
yeah
But you'll need to click pouches
rogues works, sell items, cash from shards/crystal items u make etc etc
It's certainly not 110m+ an hour
they do when ur getting 115 enhanced tele seeds per hour
Does the increased pouch limit have any effect on the diary pouch limit increases for ardy?
1/1024, and 60k pickpockets
Like do the stack
so 58 seed/hr
apparently it stacks, but requires kandarin
worth 60k each
rogues stacks the 10x to 20x
so 3.5m there
outfit from asgarnia
yeah im factoring that in no?
3k pickpockts, x2 from rogues to 6k, x10 from larcenist to 60k
so 60,000/1024 = 58
i think its gonna be around 20m/hr all up
How are you doing 60000 pickpockets an hour
youre folding rogues into the 60k number
and then the calc is applying rogues again
Even at 1 tick u wont reach 60k
Pretty sure that calc assumes rogues
ok so that is correct one then
58 per hour
so 2 hours for 99 smith/craft
l0l
yeh so 15.5m raw gp, 3.5m worth of teles
You auto thieve every what 1-2 seconds?
1.2
Without any lost ticks the max pickpockets per hour is 3k
But you'll lose some here and there for pouches
Lmfaooo
Is there a guide or something to see which regions solve which skills? Or does anyone know? Like what's solved by default with varlamore and karamja, and what needs solving
U realize with kanderin elite u could thieve up to 1400 pouches lol
so 100 shards is 5k smith/crafting xp
so 1700 shards is 85k xp base game, or 1.36m in leagues at 16x
Thats silly
so 16.9m xp per hour from thieving elves, thats 34m cash from abundance
@full wagon they all trigger their own hit splat they do not stack into 1 hitsplat
plus the updated rogues calc mishap
so 58 * 150 is another 8.7k shards an hr
so more like 50 than 110
Very nice! You’re the best thank you
Yw
so yep youre right, like 1-2h for 99 smith/crafting, tis nice
but all contingent on taking tirannwan
Thorns is looking better and better in my eyes lol
the cash comes a lot from abundance btw
Thorns is fkn broken because all the thorn effects can trigger even if enemy hits a 0 on you
Ur gonna shit on enemies
when u factor in cash from doing the smithing/crafting it works out at 110m
thieving on its own is 50m or so, now ive updated rogues outfit mishap
the raw cash is now 15m per hour thieving, 34m from abundance
so still 50m p/h cash raw
then u have the abundance xp from smith/craft
right
which is different, but works out at 110m after it all
but yeah its kind of a 1 off
unless youre goin for 50ms, which i suppose you might as well
rogues outfit on calc threw it
but still 50m per hour
is probs one of best if not the best gp p/h weve seen
yeh abundance is insane overall for combat focus tbh
huge combat rush
and my relic picks removes any need for skilling past usability
alright i must sleep, echo items tomorrow, hypee
Anybody know?
abundance
forager
evil eye/unless recall added
butlers bell (solves all my processed items)
larcenist
culling spree (unless op 3rd option)
flow state (processes everything ill ever need)
minion (unless 3rd option is op)
saves me doing practically any skilling, past occasional top up of pots/food
Thank you so much!
wonder can you use trans to turn runes into pure ess
I don't think most people here are doing abundance
Endless seems to be the highest pick
I haven't tried wilderness in leagues. How likely do you get PKd?
It seems like easy points
It's treated as a pvm death, why's it matter
Even if pvm death. If you're doing slayer for instance and ppl constantly try fighting you for your spot it could get old really fast walking back
It's going to happen if you take wildy
I've never chosen myself, but My clanmates have, and They have never said anything about being greifed
When i pick wildy i always pk people with skulls or those that attack others
Yes, noted
Bro these pact tasks are going to take a bit of elbow grease and time
when we are adding accuracy, is that the accuracy of whatever your current hit% is on a boss, or is it to your base accuracy fighting with any style
For instance a 600 mag def monster, you can hit lets say 8% of the time, does 100% accuracy bonus jump that chance to 16%?
It's going to take some effort just to get to like 20pts
I think that is still an unknown
I'm guessing it will be the latter and not the former
Seeing as though that was really broken with the range tree last year
to me it is the lynchpin to early water mage focus, I cannot hit mid-high tier bosses, whats the point
makes me really want to tri-brid all choices until i am 20ish perks into it
why hasnt someone invented a way to use percentages so that its not so vague what the meaning is
I'm sure it's intentionally being left vague
But I really doubt it will be just a raw increase so no one ever misses
the strat is to find multipliers that stack so u can have some insane multiplication
It was specifically mentioned on the stream today that the whole never miss effect on range was certainly fun and busted, but it was obviously broken
that's enough context clues for me, definitely will a multiplier on current hit chance, not a base increase
Any word on how crystal tools/crystal tool task will work for Priff if you don't have a region with a dragon tool?
Does taking the last Earth spell demonic pact make it so you never hit a 0 with Earth spells?
No, you can still hit a 0 if you are not accurate enough. Yes, if upon you hit with an earth spell, it's base damage (flat) is increased by your
defence level with bonus
-------------------------- (maxcapping at 30 additional damage)
12
I saw the osrs dmg calc has most of the leagues combat stuff added but can some people go chrck thier setups mine dosnt sound right
Most things still don't work on it
thats what my wife says too
Plus it's all useless before we know echo weps
I rough mathed around a 200 max hit with my balista
The dps calc put me at 540
XD

And thats befor rigour 30% bonus
Ye you defo won't have that
Bet
Around 30 dps is a safe bet
O that was 9 dps
more than 1
The pains of a 9 tick weapon
I mean with my rough math i should hit 200 ish a shot
where is that
Osrs wiki
yes but I dont see it
O didnt know the wiki has shortcut command
Or you just mean you are plugging in buffed up stats?
I thought you meant you were tying in pacts and shit
That's the shortcut to fully reload the page
It has the tab for the pacts
It is with pacts...
okay, it literally wasnt there from the page that I opened
I says a couple arnt implemented but i should not be at 550 a shot
or the page that I opened when you shared trhe link
but I refreshed it and now its there
Yuh
Completly forgot void set is % increase that unfortunatly probably my best armor
yeah not really that helpful yet
i've changed my teleport from evil eye to map of alacrity
it's significantly better for my regions
by over 50%
Doesn’t really seem like something that can be quantified unless you’re talking total number of teleports, which doesn’t equate to total effectiveness
But map seems really good
for my regions, it has better teleport spots/location, and more of them in general, to even compete again using only my regions, u would need evil eye/bank heist and all 3 types of the fairy teleports combined to come close to being as good
i just spent 10 minutes comparing them and none of them come even close to alacrity
I was thinking maybe map but evil eye and fairy mushroom will cover me completly and make bossing a sinch
When picking your teles remember fairy mushroom is in a diffrent tier and covers fairy rings patchs and tool leprechauns
teleports are purely dependant on region, different regions might change which teleports are better
Its a lot of teleports
and spirit trees
How much of a time save is Flow State in Varlemore House Thieving, do we know?
I'm currently deciding between Flow State or Reloaded into Larcenist, because I'm not single clicking to 50m Thieving
what regions are you taking
Kandarin/Tirannwn/Kourend
I have every skill solved basically
it just really shakes out if Flow or Larc is an overall time save
well, larc solves more than just thieving if you have T
yeah cause of crystal shenanigans
I'm just wondering how effective Flow is at saving me from thieving
because burning through 200m with EH/Flow would be funny
EH/Flow would also blast through Barbarian Fishing for Agility
but I could also just be patient with that
I think the reality is that theres almost no combination that will make everything a braindead solve
I feel like I'm thiiis close to having the mega solve
I think Larcenist still wins though
just because crystal smithing is too good
does the shadow have a max hit of 85 still in leagues?
Anyone have a build centered around the bowfa by chance?
Is there any solve for RC other than soul harvest
Think I'd prefer to do regular RC over that
Transmutation is the other solve but still requires to level slightly to an altar you can access
EH in kourend is not bad
Tho I guess you'd need to get the blocks to the altar, that step would be a pain
if I want to go mage with a little range splashed in, am I missing out much gear wise by going kand -> zeah -> wildy?
if you got EH then afk bone shard mining probably the go to
least for starting lvls
for runecraft?
ahhh i read alter and i thought prayer lolol
the prayer alter there that requires quest done.
if you are rcing and have kourend then you can do arceus library for rc
Transmutation and map of alacrity to nature altar
isnt it 10 per transmutation?
Yeah
200/minute
Other options are soul harvest and lamps
Library is better than essence crafting?

Anyone think the staff in gauntlet will trigger regeneration effects?
i never said its better than essence crafting
maybe ill reload into transmutation.
i want butler. solves the areas that im lacking in
if you have morytania and 74 agility you can map to the blood altar
I mean if you're going library, just get 77 and do Zeah rc
i plan to go zeah, asgarnia and mory for now
unless prif becomes broken with echo item then ill switch out asgarnia for prif
Go prif with larcenist
i planned to get larcenist anyway cause of mory
yeah blood shards would be awful without larcenist
ig for mory its map for blood runes or evil eye for spider, garg barrows you can get to with either and tob you have drakens for
although map notably worse for barrows than evil
since cant tp to chest
Doesn't spider cave have agility shortcuts?
Or am I misremembering
It does
Okay evil eye is good for barrows if you're planning on blindbag
do they count tho? they dont have a level req when you hover them on map
yeah evil eye in mory seems like throwing
they have the icon for it so i assume so but
well evil eye is only missing blood altar, and its worse for my other regions too (map that is)
Map seems like the sleeper pick depending on your regions
I'm prob going for map for RC
yeah obviously other context is relevant
Evil eye mainly helps with PvM only
thats all i care about really
im here for fun not to max
🤣
i get that getting everything to 99 and beyond is good points
but i can just pass on the slow stuff
not looking to max points
the only thing that still seems really clutch with evil eye is that it teleports to all the moons bosses
It's like a 8 second run man
yeah, and I hate it
i think im picking evil eye ragardless
map you need the agi level for the shortcuts
and im not taking hotfoot
I haven't completely decided
I'm planning on rushing agility first to get it out of the way
if map let you setup which side you ended up on on the tps itd be pretty strictly better i think but because you need the agi level and i aint wasting my time on that i think im just taking evil eye
- barb gathering for extra
So crossbow can hit like 110 damage max hits with a simple crossbow ranged str build with Desert, Wilderness, and Kandarin. And who knows with the KBD crossbow. If it can use dragon bolts, it may hit even higher between both hit splats. It's basically gonna be one a shot fest in the wilderness lol.
I'm gonna try for max cape at least so it's not a problem for me
It'd be stupid not to give dbolts for an echo item
Originally I was looking at a heavy ballista build but it's just not good enough cause it looks like you need 2 regions to do MM2, and that assuming it's posislbe.
Yeah, I assume it will. Everyones gonna be crossbow build if they go wilderness to get all the one shot kills lol
I thought Kandarin autocompleted it?
it does
yeah it does
Oooh snap. Heavy ballista build might be back on the table
yo biggest reason to go map
teleport directly into kharazi jungle
Hmm still says it's less dps than zaryte xbow and dragon bolts
Yeah map seems to be the better option honestly
People are really underselling its value because of the agility req
- there's WAY more shortcuts in game than bosses
Oh well, it looks good. But Pking aint for me, i'm stick to my earth build.
But the big damage sound exciting lol
Would've loved to see multiple ranged echo's hitting 100+
iuts not underselling if im 1 agi
Should remove infinite run energy so you walkers will suffer
should remove run energy from the base game
true, walk everywhere
not what i meant but thats the funnier outcome 🤣
Tomorrow will cement my entire build. Once I see the echo's. I'm wondering the 4 pronged elemental staff has a different effect depending on what element your casting.
I also wonder since the powered staff uses earth adn body runes if it'll be considered an earth spell.
I assume not, but who knows.
yeah I'm just waiting on echo items before I decide my last region
it can regen earth runes but it's not an earth spell
I might change up my preferred style if the thermy echo item is a cracked multi-element staff
Yeah that's what I figured. So most likely elemental four pronged staff is potentially the play.
That with devil element, could be huge.
I was already considering kandarin
powered staves regenerate charges, can only regenerate runes with the pacts but thats only 1 per cast
can you buy herb packs from pest control in league?
Yes
I've dropped the thorns part out of my build for now, but that may change, I could swap around like 3-5 points
why do clues for leagues?
lots of points
Points
but isnt time spent elsewhere also points?
lots of points
Didn't they say they reduced clue points
they did lower it a bit
they did, but its still a lot
ya still worth doing whenever u can
for people who want to max points, they need 750 collection logs which is very difficult to do without clues
shouldnt bbe necessary if you just want t8 or dragon
It isn't
comparing tier 4, seems hard
yeah tier 4 is a hard decision dont blame u
bell for afk trans for active, clues for maxxing points
Pick transmute with map for RC solve
is there a way to get an antidragon shield this league? or are we just going to have to facetank steel dragon for a kill
slayer shop
Slayer master
oo nice
I hope they add ava's devices to a shop
They haven't in the past
i wish leagues was always around and you could have run recaps tied to your account. The complexity threshold for rougelike has been achieved imo
Well this league, no one can get it
fremmy pickers do
I think the ammo regen nodes more than make up for it
How
also that
vork
vork drops assembler
Oh yeah forgot
can ammo regen from a spec atk with a bow
and if so dose that mean echo atks can trigger off a crossbow spec
the only thing that specifically states it doesnt work with a spec is blindbag
i think
man this leagues is gonna be great XD
dont remember seeing anythign else that does
I hope that's true
I have a very silly build idea if specs work for everything on the tree
Is it dumb to try and go all 4 mage elements?
Holy shit just remembered kandarin has ourania for rc
how?
Map stonks up
Transmute air runes to essence then tele to nature altar and craft
Or ourania in Kandarin
Or cosmic altar
Yeah a lot of people sell the map short.
Damn
Nats it is then
Wheres the closest bank to an agil shortcut? since transmute is noted ess you need to do the loop
I need to take another look at my relic choices tbh. Flow State kinda threw me off- not that I was planning to Reload into anything specific, but rather how Flow State solves a large number of problems that I otherwise had to pick certain relics for
Auburnvale
In the default areas I know the shilo village rock is pretty close
What problems?
Yeah actually shilo is a pretty good nexus point
Still gotta take kand tho for the M A G I C
It was mostly taking hotfoot for the auto processing
whats your t1?
Endless
What regions are you thinking?
A/K/W
K as in Kouren or Kand
yeah fair, I mean I guess I call it zeah
I think herblore is a harder solve without zeah
I also don't plan on taking the farming relic
yeah, I suppose forager does do a lot for you whereas hotfoot you already have access to some great agil courses
like asg early, wildy mid, kand late
if you arent going for 99 herblore tho you could just get the butler to do it
yeah its pretty strong
Im conflicted bc I've never had the god tier clue scroll stuff, thinking clues could be good bc of that
It also synergizes very well with both endless harvest and flow state
Honestly clues aren't that worth
its an antisynergy with hot foot right, bc it only does raw fish?
no raid region?
there are fewer points than before locked behind them. Most of their value comes from clogs and you're better off doing easy guaranteed clogs for that
No raid region
It doesn't work on any processed materials
So no planks or bars either
Yo, I don't know what I'm doing, what are your thoughts
AZM
Barb, Woodsman, Evil Eye, Transmute, Larcenist, Culling Spree, Reload Hotfoot
construction fans out here struggling hard
barb feels like bait ngl, abundance is nuts if you arent trying to 99 or care for cash but EH is always good
if you don't know what you're doing I wouldn't barb
I mean with asg I have access to both mahogany homes and bagged plants
Do we know pact point tasks yet?
Isn't it just nuts, it's still semi afk and you fail a LOT less
[[Demonic_Pacts_League/Demonic_Pacts#Tasks]]
Wiki links found:
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Demonic_Pacts_League/Demonic_Pacts
I mean with my limited knowledge I am aware that I don't really have anything for herblore or runecraft... which might be an issue
if you plan on maxing
Is solo nex gonna be hard or laughable?
you won't miss out on a lot of points if you mostly skip a few skills, but you're also probably not getting dragon
hard to say
I imagine it will very much depend on your pacts
I imagine hard
But I've also never fought nex at all
eh should be faster to max, barb is faster to 50m+
barb is better for gathering xp and worse for processing xp / materials
and even then it's really not that much better than EH
I was going abundance for a long time but decided to go EH. It just synergizes too well with hotfoot and transmute
alternatively if you want to punch rock then go for it
keep in mind that you won't be able to transmute the items that hotfoot processes
Sure I only got rune weapons but I click once and go afk for 20 min lol
The process toggle is huge for this reason
Anyone know if the bosses in the wildy will be instanced for leagues? 👀
... I think
I maintain that abundance is technically the best but that only applies if you are the sweatiest of nerds and you plan to be done the league in a week
not really, master farmers and utilize the farming guild
I doubt it, but you could always just kill whoever's there
wheres the farming guild located
zeah
Ahhh fuck
really, even with the agi xp? and the crystal tools?
if you are without zeah...
oops my bad beast
zeah for sure sorts so many skills
Crystal tools are not actually that big of an increase over rune
fm at winter, wc at wc guild etc
abundance is best for people who want to get to T6-7 a little faster, lets you do some of the high level tasks a bit earlier and play with the later stuff sooner
the token agi and str xp are fine but there are far better ways to get both
Abundance is great for a head start but its usefulness doesn't last forever
fine i'll get eh... works fine for me too since i work
eventually you won't need the cash and you won't benefit from the skill boosts. The token xp is good on certain activities fwiw
it's a game, if you're gonna regret not taking barb cause you think it's cooler, you should do that
the xp is a small boost, but it technically affects all skills which i think is pretty nice
i was gunna take barbarian gathering into woodsman and then reloaded for hot foot or natures accord tbh
i agree on the sentiment i just thought it was very good, the afk side of eh is very nice
i see the woodsman for hunter rumours thats why and the fletching
double loots and those shards will add up for prayer
and the herbs solves herblore problem
i chose woodsman because hunter i dont fucking know
if hunter and fletching are fine without it then great
chins for the range exp
is leagues usually a pretty hardcore grind?
ima catch a crap ton of chins and set up megascale mystics
or more fun
prayer is easy enough to solve with transmute or soul harvest
and it gives herb seeds, which are fine but rely on farming buffs to really shine
primarily fun, but for a lot of people that fun is found in the process of optimizing a game plan
oh speaking of, tecu salamander is the highest xp task, and if you do hunter before unlocking too many regions you can make teco/wolf only give tecu tasks
whats an example of a "plan"?
you can go in silly goofy time and follow a youtuber guide and chill and slap bosses, or you have hyperfocus on build planning depending on your level of autism
here are my relics:
BG
woodsman
evil eye
butlers bell
larcensist
culling spree
reloaded into hotfoot or natures accord
minion as of now depending on last relic
I've got all my regions figured out, most of relic choices, and a full map of my planned demonic pacts, including the order in which I plan to unlock them
I know others must have pointed it out. But I do find it funny how the pact’s tree is basically a demon face. XD
i havent done so much of the demonic pacts tbh. i thought we could only take one route but i see you got all 3 combat styles
why the regen points? just prayer recovery?
I also plan to set up a comprehensive "hour zero" plan for immediate gameplay, as- just like in previous leagues- I have taken the launch day and the rest of the week after off, and plan to wake up at 4 AM to play runescape like an adult
Does anyone know if throwing knives count as ammo when regenerating?
That relic at number 6 is legitimately huge for how early it can be accessed. It's free overheads, even with 0 prayer bonus- so long as you have a shield and are getting attacked at least once every 6 seconds.
it's free fight caves lmao
yes, thrown weapons count as their own ammo
[[avas device]]
Wiki links found:
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Ava's_device
its prob same as ava
which t6 relic u talking about sheep
ahhh okay
no I agree that one is great, I mean 9 and 31
only asking because was theory crafting a dragon knife build with over 100% ammo regen
I was planning on taking culling spree but apparently the last T6 relic is going to be defensive and that might play into my mage tank build really well
cause earth spells don't get any scaling from rune regen, so it's just prayer recovery and some bonus runes
EH I think is better than barb. Sure you use rune, but you gather double, instant bank it, all on bottomless gathering spots so no getting interrupted or waiting for respawns
defense level is boosted by 1 per rune regenerated, up to ~20 at max, lasting 30 ticks
You'll hit that even with the base 50% regen
but more than that, 9 let's me reach 2t elemental spells quicker. And by the time I'm in the 30s, I'm mostly chasing QoL
if you were to get both hotfoot and friendly forager, which one are you getting on tier 2 and which one are you reloading?
Hotfoot and then reload nature's accord instead of FF imo
hmm
I think reloading hotfoot means you unlock it after it's the most beneficial
yeah i figured
By that point you've already had to do a lot of resource processing
ok so... EH, hotfoot, evil eye, transmute, larcenist, culling, natures accord
feelings and thoughts
What are your regions?
well im not sure on what im gonna do in terms of combat, i wanted to do melee and had asgarnia zeah mory as a placeholder
hotfoot offers a few benefits that work a LOT better early on:
- passive agility xp while working on your middle tiers
- easy gp
- passive cooking xp and banked smithing mats
building spec with attacks is epic they should put it in main game
Spent a couple hours theorycrafting with a buddy, a lot of the fancier builds really suck at just a few points. Light weapons + thorns seems very very strong to pick early and then respec towards the mid game when you have closer to 20 pts
But only like 15 points are "easyish" to get
A couple more assuming all regions
For asgarnia and morytania I think map >> eye, zeah it's a little tougher but regular teles makes up for it and you can still map to catacombs
After thinking about it a bit. With my current plan, I don’t really got anything good for smithing. But more or less got the rest of the skills covered.
youre right
The biggest benefit of map for you is it makes rc free, you can tele right next to blood altar
and nature altar before that
and cosmic altar before that
i knew i was forgetting something with rc lmao
I will simply pick eye and lamp rc
how many lamps are you expecting lmao
he has a jagex account thats why
Count Check coming in clutch fr fr
Don't need 99
I doubt you'll even hit 50 off lamps alone
Its leagues. I'm going to do it when I have giga skill boosts. Rc is just not a big problem, its a mild annoyance
how good is prayer penetration with a melee 2h build?
Depends on your regions. Most activities won't need it at all, though some bosses (and echo bosses in particular) might
are there any bosses you just cant melee even with the 7 tile range?
However much you need to still one tap grubs is probably good
I do totally recommend to map out your pact task points on the wiki before you map out builds btw.
Will we find out exactly what the echo items are before release?
Tomorrow
Oh nice. I have a plan in mind but it's kinda dependant on what the echo item actually does lol
I wanna see more on the dagger and cbow
Yeah they said that today (its past midnight for me) they will show the echo items off fully. Probably around the normal time for them to show the relics or whatever.
Also they talked about how the crossbow works in the stream yesterday.
is transmutation enough for crafting?
Yeah right now I'm planning to do asgarnia, kandarin and morytania. I want to put the echo dagger that scales with elemental weakness with the devils element and probably full torva, rancor etc lol
But Im thinking i can pivot into harm orb nightmare staff plus devils element if that build doesn't work out
hmm i just realized i have 3 gp relics, though its not like thats bad, theyre not JUST gp relics, hotfoot transmute and larcenist
larcenist is very nice for thieving and idk if i could afford to not get it
i do have vyres but thats later
i could pick natures accord and reload into something else
Atm I have been debating whether I should use reloaded for Larcenist or Soul Harvest. Since with my planned picks in kourend and mory. I have a lot of options for runecrafting already. And prayer I am not really worried with varlamore in general. But I also don’t really know if I need to boost thieving much besides for money.
i was gonna go soul harvest but map of alacrity solves rc and transmutation solves prayer
Was in bed thinking
If the pact (2HP/2Prayer every 0 hit on you) works with Overheads this seems like the best use of first 6 Pact points.
Rush overheads tier 1/2 and You get infinite overheads/hp against anything you can pray against 🤯
Oh right yeah transmutation. I was also planning to grab that. Hmm. Maybe I should put my reloaded into a different tier instead…
honestly im considering clue relic
depends on points
I did a bunch of clues during leagues 4. Had my fun with them and got bloodhound. So don’t really feel the need for it.
right now im endless harvest, hotfoot, map, transmute, natures accord, culling, reloaded into x, minion
ah i see i havent
idk maybe grimoire for off spec?
what happens if the clue is not in ur regions tho
you dont get steps not in your region
or ones that require items from outside
i assumed youre not going mage by saying this
Yeah I was kinda thinking grimoire might not be a bad grab. Atm totally planning for the unknown 6t relic for my grab there. Since looking over the tree, we don’t get much for damage reduction. If this one helps with defense then its a good pull in my books. But we will have to see.
yeah true
hopefully we get all relics tomorrow together with the echo stuff
doubt it though
maybe 1
They have the dates on the blog going to the 12th. So I feel like they will probably reveal those on the 11th and 12th respectively.
Unless they got another thing up their sleeves. It could also just be the task list I guess.
yeah thats what i was gonna say
Oh hey I can finally share pictures. Neat. (Got to steel rank)
But yeah big feeling on the t6 relic being this turtle one.
Is it crazy to get -7 pacts and just not pick a 3rd area? VDT gives me all I want and every other reigon has worse grinds than rewards xD
i dont know if it would be worth going for any accuracy with a full thorns build
Tecu Salamander secret techv👀
Adds salamander to stack of blind bag weapons XD. Though I doubt it working for that and there are much better options.
how many points will be needed for red skin unlock?
We don’t know the costs for any of the rewards yet.
Sadly the only tech I see slightly working with it is bodybag and echos but I haven't really deepdived into the tree
Yeah atm my setup is grabbing all I want in the melee tree with a small dip into the range one for some options.
I cant stop thinking about Leagues. Cant sleep, work/life schedule messed up. Im not even playing yet
Yeah I’ve been on a month long break from actually playing. But with all the keeping up with reveals and such. Still quite up to date with leagues stuff.
How is that prayer penetration going to work ? Do they need to be praying in order for the bonus to apply ?
its overheads right
so 100% would mean the boss takes normal dmg
kalphite queen, idk what else
kq kq actually does not have protection prayer it is just indicator for defensive stats. akkha, warden p2, hunleff, some echo bosses
I think you can "melee" punish doom without melee weapon, idk how that works 
Transmutation also solves runecrafting you can downgrade your runes back into essence at the altar and just craft without banking
They're noted when transmutation
Oh true
map of alacrity will get few teleports near rune altars though
But still is a solve for it you transmute then remake just have to bank
so you would just transmute thousands of pure essence passively and then teleport between agility shortcut near an altar and bank
some regions do have other teleports near altars so could skip map of alacrity too
15 UTC iirc

wiki dps calc showing 574 as max hit but i assume that is with 4 max hit echoes added on it
yeah removing chance of 4x echoes lowers it to 250 max
That will be really slow no? The transmutation has to go down 1 tier each time before it gets back down to ess
you can buy 100k air runes to turn 12-30k per hour to pure essence depending of you took flow state or not
How are you going to unnote them though? lol
would need either map of alactrity or other teleport method near altar
Well they're runes though, Maybe they'll just turn into ess and occupy the inv
essence will be noted after transmute
Oh I see
Sang just seems higher dps than shadow lol?
plus has healing
a lot more healing
cause also double rate on the water regen healing
But then you need to grind nightmare
Sang is from tob
Oh I was thinking of the NM staff
I'm thinking Mory, Kandarin, Fremmy
for bis sang staff gear
40 dps with sang staff, healing 3.3 per sec from sang effect and 2.5 from water rune regen, so 5.8 healing per second
sang should be higher dps than shadow if accuracy doesnt matter
even when accuracy matters
im comparing to kree, sang wins
as an example
and yeah shadow is getting 1.25 healing per sec
I guess the sang healing cant overheal tho, just the water rune regen healing will
does kitted scythes count as unice sythes? so you could have three different scythes in your inv
yes kit and uncharged versions count as different weapons
sheesh
can technically have 5 scythes in blindbag but half them have to be uncharged and need to farm 4 kits
do we know when tasks are out (atleast starting ones)
Also, anyone know good early qs in vally to do?
It just hits me that if I don't take the fremenik region
I'm basically forced to take hotfooted
Simply cause no blast furnace to make my bars
Would take forever to do them without the furnace
Does anyone know how many tiles zuk is away from the safespot?
thre are some ways to get around it but without desert, fremmenik or tiranwan you are looking for relics to solve smithing
7 tiles can reach zuk from center, edges are too far
Just do giant's foundry
But getting bars for giants foundry is gonna be a pain without blast furnace
Or hotfooted
So with the hally pact you should be able to reach him with melee right?
you can buy items from cam torum to use in giant's foundry
yes if you dont try to attack when shield is at either edge
Yeah just buy a bunch of mithril stuff for GF
awesome. ty for the info ❤️
can check leagues 5 hespori echo weapon zuk videos for 7 tile melee range
kk i will
Ah true true
No money solve doe...
transmute might be a good money fix
Thats so close to mine im doing kourend asgarnia wildy
I was planning to grab conniving clues cause I know for a fact clues are worth too much points to pass
Plus no charlie hot cold clue this year and its easier done
I don't think conniving clues is worth it unless you're point capping or you're playing for 1 month
There's should be enough stuff for dragon rank without it
Im picking clue for bank heist clue fairys flight teleport
Basically anywhere without even evil eye and map of alacrity
What are the herblore solves this league
I think I'm gonna pick soul harvest over nature's accord
I have woodsman and transmute to get seeds
Soul harvest pairs really well with natures accord
Yeah but I also want larcenist for crystal seeds
Even tho they said no bonus xp you still get x10 yield and xp for those too
You can have stealing gems stall then transmute them into dragonstone
What about smithing
Im picking flow state
I know some people said that flow state is bait relic you can still pick it you dont make wrong decisions
Problem with flow state is it doesn't solve anything
It just makes stuff faster for speedrunners
Sometimes it doesnt need to solve anything
If i can transmutate 30k items in an hour instead of 12k items that 18k difference could be a solve
Man they literally said clues is going to be easier this year so picking conniving clues just makes it faster
Why are people saying hotfoot doesn’t process bg resources?
Should i pick evil eye tho seems a bit weak
I’m taking bh not saying it’s better just what I’m doing
I don’t wanna pick W but if that crossbow is cracked I might have to
surprisingly high accuracy against sol with crossbow +190% accuracy pacts 
What is the advantage of exceeding 100% acc
there is no 100% accuracy pact (except bow echo hit)
+100% accuracy doubles your accuracy roll, not making it always hit
Oh duhhh ty lol
Is this a dps calc for leagues? I feel like with thorns and pact buffs it might be too difficult to create
thorns and most of mage tree doesnt work in wiki dps calc (at least currently)
Im so sad building my tree out because on paper 40 is great, but the tasks ramp up so hard it’s more like 10 then echo+ fights for the next 10 then the last 20 is just brutal fights
11 should be early, 25 end if mid game and 35-40 end game basically
I don't think the tasks are that bad, except for some nasty ones like radiant and some awakaned
Inferno and collo can be hard as well depending on how strong we get
Ive never gotten far in leagues and Im a casual, hardest fight ive ever done is fire cape
Hoping the op stuff carries me haha
is shilo auto'd?
The following quests and their pre-reqs are automatically completed but will not reward any completion XP:
Shilo Village
Some regions are very easy though, kandarins hardest boss is kraken and thermy and for both you can just do the normal variants.
Mory you can just get carried the tob runs, phosani can be so so.
Tirannwan is CG, but you would prefarably do the echo version which can be hard.
Wilderness has nothing hard
fremmy has awakened duke and the vorkath achievement that can be tricky.
asgarnia has the whisperer that can be tricky
asgarnia and zeah would be the 2 hardest to get all points for newer players. solo nex and awakaned whisperer in asgarnia and radiant oathplate in zeah
yeah zeah is really bad in that regard
I was thinking bout taking wildy for the free pact points
Awakened whisperer is quite hard as well and no matter how op we get that one is still really hard due to the phases not allowing us to power through things with our power so you have to do it correctly
i dont want to take wildy but the echo weapon sounded like it would be op
Oh they finally updated the leagues 6 blog. seems like we get last two relics on 11th and 12th
Awakened whisperer was a pain in the ass in gridmaster
I can't imagine doing it with the pacts
if flask doesnt restore sanity you will actually need to know mechanics
I was basically running around waiting for last stand to go off cooldown
maybe could rng it with crossbow or melee and lucky hit with multiple procs
crossbow with multiple echoes can hit 500, melee with lottery win can hit 2000 
Yes
it should give all xp in 1 drop when you collect
Honestly that’s a good money maker too. All the rune items you get will help you gp wise
Does anybody know if they're distinguishing between 'off-hands' and 'shields' in the pacts?
Like is Devil's Element considered an off-hand, but not a shield
are all shields considered off-hands?
defenders are not shields but shields are off-hands
not sure about books and stuff like that
except dinny b
Someone know if i can charge scythe when only picking desert ?
books are offhands
offhand shield
I think it's only blood runes right into it IIRC
all you need is 3 blood runes from toa
Or get the scythe and dont use it until you get 100%+ regeneration from pacts. Infinite charges, no blood required.
they might do the same as before and make scythe spawn with full charges if you claim it from mega rare voucher
like people used to take shadows from it just to uncharge and alch it 
ok i have a demon build cooked up
Mory + Fremmy + Wildy
Sang Staff + Thorns
40 dps sang staff, 19 dmg thorns
super tanky, tons of healing, can spam thammarons and ayak specs for things resistant to magic
Nah scy is charged with only bloods
I'm gonna do a dinny b thorn build :p
looks like it would be fun and/or silly
doesnt make sense but tank is actually kinda bad for thorns builds
you'd want ring of recoil + echo boots + no tank water mage build to recover hp quickly and maximize thorns/recoil damage
2tick water surge with harmonised nightmare staff + 190 hp cap makes u near unkillable
no worry about replacing recoil since you get charges back anyway
There is a node that gives damage to thorns and recoil based on your defence
yeah and you are picking those too
I think its 1% or so
thorns will apply even when you get hit 0, so it can work. you can also do 7 tile dinh's with blindbag
I think it's 0.1%
ring of recoil and echo boots dont work on 0
I reckon doing 1t sang staff instead is a better route. Way more dps while still healing a ton
sang staff is powered it wont recover as much water runes/hp
sure, not as much, but still a lot
like 5hp/sec
do you really need more than that?
im talking about this build can just stand still and tank zuk
190 hp build when zuk max hit is like 140
flask as a panic button
not fast enough recover with sang
might be but its reclinemaxxing
water mage can overheal and heal more in general. sang is better dps
sang can overheal too
yee but im just doing thorns and not recoil. I'm going mory, kourend, and maybe asgar or kanderian. Not sure which one I want out of those. I'm thinking more asgar because the blood fury is gonna be strong for what im going
about 2hp/sec overheal, while sang effect provides like 3 healing/sec, but cant overheal
and then also 2 hp healed when you cop a 0
you can 100% go recoil+thorns with mory only
thorns build buffs recoil dmg too much to not take advantage
pocky whats the idea exactly behind not having much def bonus but wanting thorns to do damage?
theyre at odds
you gotta like brew down to 1hp and stack def bonuses
yes thorns build buffs recoil but the buff amount scales with defensive bonuses, not defence lvl
i mean 1 def*
you are taking def but ur not wearing tank armor
still pretty accurrate enough for most stuff to hit you
Do you think it would be better to go for kanderan instead of asgar? I would lose out on godwars and abunch of stuff. But I would get ring of suffering
You can accept it being low on the basis that youre almost tripling your thorns damage if you wear a recoil and echo boots
mage thorns build is higher dps than dinh's thorns
ring of suffering is not necessary recoil will do superbly
how low are we talking
you are getting charges back either way
like what combined defences
im gonna sit around 1k combined defences on my mage build
so 13 * 1.5 = 19.5 avg thorns hit
with full virtus, arcane shield, fury
and battlehat
kk. ty for the help ❤️
recoil isnt a weapon though
ring of recoil is fine, just need to bring 20 of them with you everywhere 
the pact specifies weapon charges
I think the charge thing works on recoil too
It just says charges
+60% chance to Regenerate runes, ammo and charges
read the whole thing
I don't think recoils count
the description elaborates
Hopefully the Kandarin staff does something wacky with elemental pacts too
I may go ring of suffering then
also its totally possible that the bonus damage from the pact, drains recoil charges as well
asgar doesnt give me too much that would help me for what im doing
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
I hope it gives elemental weakness to enemies
so if your recoil hit does 20, you lose 20 charges
so youll need flow state or something to make 100k recoils lmao
if it doesnt effect recoils yea maybe u need to go kandarin
If it does that I’ll need to start taking air builds more seriously
not that optimized there are some stuff you could take thats better but this is recoil/thorns dmg maxing
insanely high sustain too
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
35-40 dps sang staff + 19-20 damage thorns
may use echo boots, but no recoils/suffering
yee so imma go kanderan, kourend, and mory and just use the blood fury. The thorn damage counts as melee damage. So it will proc heals from blood fury
Frem + Mory + Wildy
Can spam Ayak/Thammaron specs to deal with things resistant to magic, Thammaron powered attacks will go ballistic for all wildy bosses
fire pacts arent even worth taking for you it only increases ur dmg by 1
well its avg 1.15 flat damage, which is equivalent to 2.3 max hits
for 40 base max hit on sang, 42.3/40 is still 5.75% more dps
also ur defense level is too low to rely too much on thorns
worth it for 3 pts to me
u need to take more defense pacts
and 1 of those pts is 1% dmg
why does defence matter?
i dont really care about that 10% chance to reflect all dmg node
its the guaranteed 19-20 thorns damage i care about
its not guaranteed
yes it is
2 below that pact
thats the one you want to use the most
the guaranteed damage is only 3 dmg
and then my 1k defence bonuses adds 10
so its 13 damage, and then 50% extra hit, so 19.5 avg hit
vs a 4 tick boss, thats an extra 8 dps
makes sense but its not taking full advantage
but
the node that says
0.1% per def lvl to reflect all damage taken
is honestly quite awful
what do you erach, 150 defence?
so 15% chance
my endgame setup is gonna be justicar with dinny b :3
so you cop a 50, and have a 15% chance to deal 50 back
can get to close to 20% chance with earth rune regen and all flat defence pacts
so on avg you eat a 50 from a boss hit, and it does 7 dmg
because there is a node that gives strength based on prayer bonus
i dont see the value in that node. its just something i gotta take to path through, and will add a bit of bonus dps now and then
by the way you said sang staff is 40dps?
imo dinny b is bait as well. DFS + echo dagger seems way better
yeah
