Bro you are going to 5 hit Vardorvis lol
hm, they still haven't put the tecpatl spec into dps calc
I almost wanna take larcenist just because I feel like blood fury upkeep is going to be a hassle
well, i doubt i'd 5 hit him, but 30s kills sounds alright to me
https://dps.osrs.wiki?id=SpyologyIronBond is mya ctual plan
Yeah you’re going to eat through blood fury charges since blind bag will likely take charges too
can't wait to make five thousand sapphire rings for suffering charges
it probably won't
yea, probably not
good thing larcenist is 10x loot
It says weapon charges so I doubt any worn items
Bro I can’t decide on my third region
whatcha plannin
Clock is ticking lmao
eh
you'll still have like 4 or 5 days after launch to actually figure last region out
unless you're one'a them speedy boiz
I think I’m going with the dinhs blindbag shenanigans, and I want at least zeah and mory
i mean kand is a pretty clear boost to that gimmick with suffering
gets you triple reflect
and a good chunk more defenses
if your doing ele mage build, and you use a steam rune for casting a water spell, do you regen a steam rune and then get the bonus of regening a water and fire rune?
ah, tir definitely gives you more versatility outside of the dinhs
i think you regen the steam and get neither bonus because you didn't regen a water or a fire
Regeneration just looks at the cost of the spell, not whether or not you actually used the runes
from husky
that was in regards to wrath runes from fountain, but still
I was also thinking just going TZM and dropping the thorns slot, haven’t decided if I think it’s the most fun yet
oh so you get the water bonus from casting water surge but nothing else
i mean, you get the water and air bonus since it uses both water and air runes
no, you get teh pact bonuses based on the runes regenerated
hold on
he did answer this specific question, lemme find it
yes but he just said regen looks at spell cost lol
Bit since I’ll mostly be raiding it’s a thing of do I even care to have crystal? I can just shield bash everything and hally things like zuk
Regeneration happens once but takes into account how many runes the spell cast regenerated. Infinite rune sources still trigger regenerations
Spells which use both a water and and air rune for example, can trigger two different regenerations, one for the number of air runes you used and one for the number of water runes you used
Combination runes trigger both of the regenerations but regenerate into their separate runes, so regenerating a mistrune will proc both but return you an air and a water rune
Regeneration only triggers for runes that were actually required by the spell. So no using combination runes to trigger regeneration effects from earth/fire for a water spell (air/water)
ye just comes down to if you wanna have some other styles in the bag or push the main build to its limit
that's really funny though, since it means combo runes just shit up your inventory for no reason
being able to double-dip combo runes for all the effects would be hilarious though
yea everyone would just use either the fire or the water combo
cast fire surge, get the effect of 10 fire, 10 water with steam, and 7 air, 7 earth with dust
lol
fair and balanced
or air with smoke runes, really push that constant maxhit
also i just realized something really annoying, you need fremmy or grimoire to make aether runes
since you need lunars for magic imbue
do we need aether runes?
no but it'd be a nice way to do RC later on
ah
also with the quadrent staff, if im casting water surge, and it "auto changes" to fire for weakness, it still considers me casting water surge and giving me the water and air rune buffs correct?
oh isee
yes
i guess that's not bad for going grim yea
quadrant just makes you always benefit from whatever the best available weakness is, while still casting the spell you're actually casting
they may have overcorrected with thermy lol
the combo of the 2 effects is busted
XD
why isnt smoke barrage better than wind surge with the smoke spell pact?
because of the 40% boost from shadowflame
nah dude mage fucking sucked in basically every league except for 4
only place smoke comes out ahead is in wildy using accursed
and that was just because you could abuse berserker forcing max hits with slow projectiles, and get three max hits for free
ye
so the shadowflame only affects regular spellbook even with the pact that makes smoke spells count as air?
yes
yea it doesn't make it a standard spell
it just makes it air elemental
you're choosing aoe vs single tho
so ancients may still have utility somewhere
well, and in wildy
aoe will be useful for slayer
yea
is it even better?
especially blood barrage
by a good chunk
shadowflame is 15% and 40%, accursed is "just" 50%
although i guess it's accuracy too
plus fire regen
well you benefit barraging slayer tasks
Inferno? Won't it be incredibly helpful in there?
i mean what else am i doing with autocast inside a wildy zone
i'm gonna count it as a slay task XD
nah, youll just air spell
You still gain the cooking/smithing exp from the auto processing of hot foot boots right?
yes
Noice ty
So air surge until a bit lower hp and then water surge?
ice barrage turned water for inferno sure
no actually degrading raises a good point, hitting smoke barrage and oneshotting the nibblers would be really good
youll just chin nibblers and stay on regular spellbook for the run
that would be better
sure
uh
not really no
sure if you dont wanna get vey far
just don't skill
I just wanna boss
you can play the game however you want 😄
And try new items
i bet you could get to T4 witout skilling
And path of exile combat shit
I clearly remember how I stopped playing last league
this isn't tiktok you are allowed to say ass i promise
you won't get banned
I was doing farm run and I had like post nut clarity
Just said dont wanna do this shit
yea just dont farm then
take friendly forager dont farm if thats ur issue
My zoomer partner caused this
I didnt even have tik tok before
"partner" is a very tiktok thing to say
Now I am braindamaged
i think all the pacts are tied to combat related tasks so i guess if you're a god gamer and you can just do all the combat tasks available without bothering with food or herblore or w/e you can get all your pacts
not like you have to push points or rank or any of that, just start however
yea, you'll probably be doing some skililng at the start
I dont care about rank
uhh, if that one site is to be believed, t7 for last area? but idk where he got that info
Just wanna try items and that whole combat skill tree
or if he just put it there randomly until info was actually found
I kinda see no point in mega grinding leagues or any temp accounts
some combat pact points are tied to skill levels
like crafting
if you wanna do the whole combat tree youll have to get all 3 zones, its gonna be impossible to avoid playing the game
yea you don't have to max or anything
yeah just get enough points for t8 and unlock all the zone
and do the skilling for pact tasks
and then u can chill
I would like to do more colo
Maybe somehow learn something and try it on normal later
oh i guess you do need to do skilling for some tasks
yea like the equip a blowpipe one
I also like clues but I see not much help with that
there's a couple
Leagues before made clues better I remember
80 smithing for godswords, 89 crafting for zenytes, 57 thieving for grubby chest, 55 crafting for slayer helm, 90 crafting for bfury, 78 fletching for bp
57 thieving thats like fast
A lot of crafting
the clue relic this time around sorta combines the 2 from last league, but it's not infinite teleports for it, you get the tele's as you do more clues
the clue relic means that you can just teleport to the majority of your clue steps
a few of the relics this time are sort of a mash-up of previous similar ones
overall buff, but part of the utility got removed from the really strong one
the average is slightly fewer teleports than you need to do steps to finish the clues
EH-hotfoot-??-butler-larcenist-??-??-Minion is pretty lazy, and effective
actually easies give more than, huh
I know it is a meme, but is the sage axe an autocast execution or does it need to be equipped?
has to be equipped
equip
lame
yeah
you could, technically , just mainhand the thing
with the 80% melee str to range str
lol
I remember during leagues or gridmaster
it just sucks since it has zero stats lol
yeah that sounds right
probably last leagues, the 10x10 pickpocket aoe was nuts
you dont get aoe this time, but pickpocket loot is 10x
which is probably stronger on elves/vyres
I like that the rougues outfit bonueses off the 10x
can always reload back into butler at t7
conniving clues gives you 10x increased clue drop rates, 1/15 clue drop on kill, and larcenist gets you 10x clues
I think the new relic is better, you don't need 10 npcs, just 1.
i agree
yeah
new relic is by far better
it's worse in some specific situations but much stronger in general
ye, not like you ever got more than 3? elves in one spot anyway
unless there was some weird shenanigans someone pulled off
i'd much rather not carea bout that, sit on one guy and know that every crystal drop is 10x
blood shards too
Gonna go trough all relics need to think
Even first one I am not sure
This knapsack seems weird but maybe good
I am wondering about agility, I am going to pick Endless Harvest and Woodsman, and I was thinking to level agility by fishing at barb fishing spot at the outpost, but checked the xp rates and they are abysmal D:
Hope I won't end up spamming rooftops
you will be spamming rooftops
or sepulchre
First relic means unlimited fishing, woodcutting and mining
But do I even care for that
we don't know, do you?
I just want whatever helps with pvm or clues
I have the day off tomorrow, gon be so lit. Get me some pizza and coke zero and game all day 😮
end up just endless harvesting some rock for 5hours lol
it's not tomorrow
i hope by tomorrow you mean "wednesday because it's currently 3am on tuseday"
Are you going to pick Larce?
at this time of day or night most people would describe "tomorrow" as being, like, 14ish hours away at this point
abundance speeds everything up a little, gets you cash and lets you do things with less skilling
Abundance imo isn't worth taking if you take larce
abundance > Friendly Forager > Evil Eye > Transmutation > Larcenist > culling spree > reload woodsman > minion
EH with a reload back to abundance would probably make barb fishing decent agil xp
Friendly Forger? what regions are you taking
abundance is very strong for what it's good at, which is giving you money and buffing high frequency, low drop exp sources/skills
ye
With friendly forager I can ignore farming right
for potions yes
I wouldn't say you need it... Farming is insane xp alone
asgarnia kandarin kourend
plus you are taking transmu
he's looking to just not skill if possible
I dont wanna farm or do herb runs
I got 99 in main game from basically just checking health on trees
my regions give me 5 trees
the xp is high
Wanna shoot myself if I need to do herb run on iron
if he wants to do clues, would have to reload back to either conniving or transute to get it
literally everybody does that lmao
that's just the least effort involved to get exp
take woodsman imo
I can region lock myself to Varlamore and get the 25 clue tasks done relatively easy. grind for 75 later
hunter is a b of a skill to train
again, if his point is skipping skilling where possible
Woodsman doesnt look useful
well
abundance and butterflies, leave the 99 for the reload
that means less other skilling in order to unlock new tiers
I can just leave fishing or wc for hours
hunter is actually pretty nice in varlamore, and yeah, it makes fletching insanely fast
i need the points later, herb skill bonuses better if chosen at tier 2, more skilling as you climb
Free herbs
eh, early on yes, if you wanted to 99 herb yes
but if you're just leveling to make some pots to use
you'd probably get the herbs as boss drops
tho idk what regions you even want
I want 50 mill herb just like everything else
When they say the fletching process is done at once, does that mean I can make 50k arrows with 1 click? I am prob daydreaming
no, it says stackables are 10x the regular amount per action
it's limited to like 10x one action
so you make 150 per two clicks
^
ohhhh that's still amazing
Good potions still require higher levels
yeah
yea
true
it depends heavily on style tbh
less carpal tunnel syndrome
like mage can just get away with not doing herblore at all i think
I am just thinking
how are you going to solve super combat, the pots that you all built your damge output on in the dps calcs?
I will need agility anyway right
oh right, yea mage gets both defense and magic levels for free
I cant just ignore it
if you dont care about shortcuts we all have infinite run
and agil levels for any weird rando quest will be easy with the xp rates
when you get to 16x points, then do agility, get the levels you need to progress along the way
for thrown weapons on the pact tree, is "melee strength" at all based on the strength stat, or just weapons and gear?
if you just want to pvm you could take evil eye and just not have to use shortcuts
What are you guys going to spend your xp lamps on?
gear stats
skills
sad :(
Would love bloodbound pet
there's the melee node that gives melee str half of prayer value, though idk how useful taht actually is, it might be worth 2 or 3 range str XD
But clues are kinda tied to pvm anyway
bloodhound is such a pain
larceny in kandarin would probably get you all the clues you ever want
: but idk what style you want, so regions depend?
abundance, also solves tasks faster, higher levels for lowered xp.
Woodsman is not needed right away, as you get more tasks dones, instead of hyperfocusing a few
yeah but that's a stretch, especially cause it's easier to build str bonus than prayer bonus, for the most part
Can you not pick regions
you can yes
Like to do clues easiest less regions less variety I imagine
but what style of combat you wana go for would influence what regions you went for gear
Or something
you can but it makes more sense to pick your regions around what combat style you want to use or what content you want to do
I wanna do colo but thats unlocked
ye
like if you want to go mage you want to pick kandarin because it literally just gives you everything you could possibly need
wildy or desert or asg are clear picks
Need to look what echo items there is
kand is still decent for anguish
wildy for kbd crossbow is solid, zeah has echo hespori dropping a bow
I defintely need kandarin and zeah, asgarnia will give me the best 200 mill combat xp build in the dogger
Can I just use melle
sure
Ignore range and mage
you can use anything XD
melee is a bit more complicated in terms of what you want to pick, you've got different options
you want mory in almost every case for melee though
there's prayer pen on the tree, so yea you could go pure melee and do akkha/warden fully with melee
But I mean is focusing single style possible
yeah
or use a halberd for zulrah etc
Maybe I would go full melle
you can melee zuk this league
Morytania
^
hally can have 7 range
Fremmenik
wut
What else
i was not expecting frem
Morytania, is the only region with melee life leech items
why fremm for melee
tbf bfury is 6% life steal
Helmet
it's not a compelling reason to pick for bfury, more the fact that it's a raid zone and has nally+rancour+justy+inq
w/e, if you like duke go for it, he's fun
stupid question: we can't get barrows gloves since no misthalin?
the downside of doing fremmy for v's helm is that it means having to actually do echo dags, and echo dags were so fucking awful to fight in leagues 5
correct, no barrows gloves
yep! get ready to wear a regen brace, or granite gloves
I wish the Techpaddles had better synergy with the combat pacts

0:25second, insaneeee
We're joined by @Faux_Freedom, @Zizaran & @SardacoTV to provide theory crafters and planners some recommended builds for Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts.
This video was also edited by the talented Jonmp4: https://x.com/jonmp4.
Want to plan your pacts? Head over to the Wiki Combat Calculator:
🔥 https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts
Read mo...
yo for leagues, could I go KTM and go early melee build, reset, go mage for awhile, then swap to blindbag halberd later? or will i hit a wall somewhere? im pretty sure you have 3 resets
he does 600 damage in like 2-3seconds
kinda funny this is the best str bonus
i mean there's fero gloves if you go zeah i suppose
yea, that'd work just fine, can have a tree set for prayer pen power staff and just burn CG grind easily, grab zenytes while you're at it and respec back to melee
heck yeah, gives me 2 very different playstyles too for more fun
sucks not getting D for ancients tho
full melee setups are like, tirannwn+mory and then... i think just something you like the sound of the content in, for third region?
Why tiran?
ye or like kandarin for easy task completions
tirannwn lets you get crystal blessing that applies the crystal armour effect to any melee weapon
crystal armor
which is really really really strong
crystal set with echo blessing
But I wanna use nox anywa
But nox isnt crystal
tirannwn lets you get crystal blessing that applies the crystal armour effect to any melee weapon
i worded that less clearly than i should have; it means you can wear crystal armour and it applies the damage/accuracy to any melee weapon as if it were a crystal weapon
it doesn't give you the whole bonus for free just for having the blessing
but it is a very large bonus and definitely worth using crystal armour over even like, torva, oathplate, inquisitor
Is there stuff with Dihns this league
yes
it also is when the 25%x25%x25%x25%x25% proc'd
there's a thorns build that scales its damage based on your total defenses
there's pretty major buffs to thorns/recoil
and scale with total defense bonus
so justi+dinh is a build again
Cox unlocked auto?
you have to take zeah for it
you go mory+zeah and then one other, not sure what since i'm not looking at it
you could do both
Morytania is no brainer
would be a few points out of the way
for hally distance
but could easily have a tree that you can swap weapons and do that with
with justy and dinhs and all the rest you can get it to deal 33 damage every time you get ATTACKED, not hit, so you can damage things even while praying the damage
Cant you just fully max melle path
downside is the raid regions have harder combat achievements, meaning that you need a 20 point build as well
if you take more than 1 raid region
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
let me show you
they are tied to leagues tasks
not combat achievements
so it depends on your regions what you need to do
Why range?
melee node can trigger ranged echoes on melee hit
extra damage
wouldn't need to ever pick up a range weapon, it'd just work
these are the tasks in asgarnia that give you points
Asgarnia
Defeat a Troll in Asgarnia (10 Points)
Defeat the Royal Titans solo (80 Points)
Equip a Dragon Defender (80 Points)
Defeat Awakened Whisperer (200 Points)
Equip a Godsword (200 Points)
Equip the Bellator Ring (200 Points)
Defeat Nex Solo (400 Points)
https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/demonic-pacts---overview?oldschool=1#points
this is the article that describes what tasks give you points (total max is 40)
notably that node that gives your melee attacks ranged echos acts as if you have all 3 ranged styles equipped so you benefit from all 3 of the initial ranged nodes
kandarin for suffering is sorta in the theme of the thorns/recoil, but really anything beyond that is fine
you don't really get anything else from kandarin
so skipping it works too
Yeah boring region
well, you get clues from thieving there
suffering is great defence bonusses in the ring slot for thorns builds
but yeah there are other options
I dont even know I need to think
well, non-dinh melee
yea
they don't care so much
full thorns tank buiuld doesnt need it
but thats not REALLY melee
like its technically melee but its not really the same thing
Both dihn and this crystal build wont include V helmet
correct
v helmet kinda meh
Wonder what could I do with that
you'd be in full justiciar ideally
but it'd probably work with torva/fremmy helm
or something
v helmet stats are only as good as the bis for each style in that slot
you do get the dmg mitigation but its only 5%
it does act as a slayer helm but most people taking culling this league p sure
the V's helm doesn't have battlehat stats
I wanna do 0 slayer
if you arent taking culling or tirn for crystal then v helmet prolly pretty good
it's basically a slayer helm with extra defenses
if that's why you wanted to take fremm
it's not what it was in gridmaster
I just need to focus on one thing
need 92 for nox hally if you wanted that
it does give str bonus in all styles but its only as good as the best opption for those styles as you say its not battlehat so its a little underwhelming
if vs hat was battle hat stats then youd prolly see a lot more fremmy pickers
good helm for range
thieving
Gnomes, Hero, Paladin, etc
the hero/gnome/paladin have high clue rate
Maybe it is good then
take larce and you are golden for clues
echo thermy also gonna require slayer level, but the items it drops are mage stuff, so you could probably skip it
2 raid regions is a lot of content so taking kandarin that doesnt have a lot but has some nice stuff for your build is prolly ideal tbh
needa do at least once for max pact points
oh, right
well, i guess if you gotta do slay for araxxor anyway it works out
not like you gotta farm it for drop
mmhmm
Tbh none of echo items look exciting
the melee ones are neat but probably not gamebreaking
Even drygore is back for like 3rd time
the mage ones are real nice
the best ones are definitely the thermy ones
and the KBD drop is different, but really really good again
but they only benefit standard mages mainly
What
this leagues definitely placing a lot less emphasis on the echo items and mostly on the pacts tree
but they are very good still
I was more excited for stuff during gridmaster
hey guys sry if this is a noob question! if i start a new char as a league char, once it ends can i still play that char in regular servers as an iron man account? or is it just gone
actually the second passive on shadowflame does work for ancients, so it's a pretty solid pick even then
and it can autocast anything
you can
Just gone
eh LOL
you dont get the 40% bonus hit tho im not saying you cant use it for ancients it just benefits standard spellbook more
yea but it will still treat an ice barrage as being affected by earth weakness
It's certainly the fastest
Or just farm elite clues and get it
i mean youll have so many clues if you are taking larcenist
so yeah
youll be able to spam them with watson
no need to do elites
Gnomes give medium clues
You can get mediums hards and elites from kand
larc gives you 10x loot so when you get a clue you get 10 of them
guards in Civilia also give med clues
Yeah
ye pally gives hard
hueycoatl give hard clues
dragons in the dragon caves
yeah but with larcenist you get 10x looting so 10 hard clues per time you get one from pickpocket
earthen nagua
only need to hit it 10 times for 100 masters
actually all naguas
sulphur naguas worth it for RC anyway
I also wonder about step themself
good mix
Oh you dont need items with relic
ye
yea, skip item reqs
the clue relic is insanely good for completing clues
do you want the Varlamore only clues steps?
but thats all its good for
I made a google doc, as the wiki cannot filter
I probably will focus on clues with Kandarin anyway
people really focusing on the drop rate increase for the clue relic but this is why you take it not the drop rate enhancing
then yea, larc+kand and just combining a ton of 'em is probably good
pet rates are not boosted at all right?
you should prolly get conniving then or at least reload into it, max reward rolls is huge for that unless bloodhound works differently to how i think it does
though i guess it's indirectly boosted by having max rewards
What about teleport relic
alacrity probably?
i would guess that'd get you around to more obscure areas clue steps might be in
alacrity has the most places to tp to usually but
you should look at a map of where you can tp to with the clue relics
and decide with that
i'm sure someone's done the numbers somewhere, but it ain't me
Well for harder steps I would just use those things you get
this shows you all the spots you can tp to with each relic
yea
nope
correct
Kinda ass
get out of here
gee i wonder if that's a phish or not
i agree it is also legit
that's OFFICIAL
i deleted it cause dont want people messaging him
🤣
but yeah that bio plus picture combo is funny
took me a minute to find the report button
can't report accounts apparently, just messages
discord is weird
has the release time been announced for this year?
any sage axe builds lol
What time does leagues start on the 15th
like maining the thing?
<t:1776078000:t>
Start time is usually around 6-8am est. there is official times but I don’t got it off the top of my head.
uk time?
Thats auto converted
i keep hearing 11 am UTC
@small flower yea lol looked like on the video they were using it as normal range wep
oh damn, I didnt even know that was a thing
https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-100-101-11-12-134-135-136-139-140-141-16-162-163-17-18-19-2-22-24-25-32-33-34-38-39-5-71-8-81-82-84-85-86-92-94-95-96-97-99 or something? full torva, dfs, fury... ultor ring?
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
maybe drop some side nodes and grab the 1h speed/str/hit nodes for a cerb dagger swap
idk
Yeah its neat. Uses unix time stamps to set the time for whoever is viewing it. Like for me it says 7am for est
they're not, no
well... i guess technically in a sense they can be, because anything you can do faster or with higher success rate you can get more pet rolls on
but not directly
The only ones which are technically not boosted but become more common are raid pets.
Well besides maybe tob one.
they don't have higher rates than normal but they are easier to get because of how leagues is
Cox is rolled when you get purples which are more common. And toa get more common with higher invo. Which allows the chance to be higher.
you could never get and do masters as fast in main game as you can in leagues for example
Any suggestions on zone choice? I'm pretty inexperienced, like very few quests ever done, no real pvm. planning to do water magic+thorns just to see content
kandarin is mandatory for your pick
past that it's kinda vibes and what content you want to see
probably wildy or desert for a proper mage shield that helps with thorns
for those who've done raging echoes desert. is Echo KQ a pain? i think that was one of the harder ones if i recall
Est?
yeah, I was thinking kandarin, maybe asgarnia or tirra, and kourend or desert as final choice. but I really don't have anything to base it on
echo kq was easy and fun, but it may not be a 1:1 this league
think that time he posted auto adjusts for time zone
it should be showing your local time
There's an announcement haven't seen it lol
Im thinking Koreund asgarnia and morytania
KTD gets you a nice shield, a pretty good midgame mage set (crystal) until you get virtus(if you do go for it) and pretty good gear all around
if the fight isn't changed, echo KQ is very easy if you're at all comfortable with reactive prayer changes, think similar to jad
Does thorns count as "attacking with a melee weapon" or is it just melee damage?
thorns is probably not "attacking with a melee weapon"
oh
since it doesn't require having a melee weapon equipped
i see the question
yea it's not gonna be an on melee attack thing
it seperates the 2 with the healing node anyway
so it's definitely not going to count as such
I'm personally curious if it'll count as melee attacks for things like enemies swapping prayers to the most recent attack they took
i see.
then i guess i can get that pretty early. shame that the strongest thrown weapon isn't a thrown weapon >:(
Okay it's 6:30 est
lol, yeah
Waking up at 6 then lol
Like last time
actually i don't think leagues 5 or grid had that much delay
maybe like half an hour tops
yea, think i got on for start and it was like 4 hours later that i could log in? XD
Nah leagues 5 had a 3 hr delay
ah rip
or was last league not quite that bad
Yeah I usually wake up at 10est. Around 3-4 hours from launch. Giving it plenty of time to not have the servers backed up for miles.
i think i had lunch before i was on tho
what do you guys recon for last region after kandarin, wilderness?
for mage?
I like to wake up an hour or two before leagues is supposed to launch (6 AM for me, so I wake up at 4-5). I take the whole day off anyway (the rest of the week too, usually) so I can afford to fuck up my schedule a bit. I take a short early morning walk, drink my coffee, and watch chaos unfold in this discord
I was going to do some mage and Cbow
along with what else
it's something of a tradition for me
desert gets you ancients without grimoire and also masori
kandarin and wildy is two out of three regions
yeah that would be why they're asking for a third region
tho grimoire is probably the way to go there if you were thinking air mage
oh
yeah bro I am asking what do people think I should pick as 3rd
i took the wilderness as part of the question
tirr would be a hybrid armor you could use
ah I see the confusion
like "what do you reckon for last region after kandarin? wilderness?"
ahh I see
i think KW is a "pick the zone you want for content" angle
i'm doing the same with zeah
for earth mage w/ thorns I'm goind K/D/W but honestly I don't really need desert
or just pick a region you wanna do stuff in, like one of the raids
I’m debating going KTM to basically get to try water mage and some Hally melee with resets, or do you reckon it’d be cooler to just go zeah and rip full air build?
Also feeling fomo about the wildy crossbow/ice combo
I picked tyrannwn and desert a few times in the past leagues so Idk if I want to go them again but they seem to have the best synergy in terms of unlocks
eh, nuke hits sound fun, but do you wanna be at a 7t attack rate
but think about all the time you'll have for activities
XD
do you have any idea how much shitposting i could get done with 7 ticks between attacks?!
it's gonna be great for (some) bosses and wack for slayer
I’ve done desert too many times in the past lol
But yeah the nukes are cool and then I can take a nap between attacks
that's about twice as long as the gcd in ffxiv and when i played that game i was tabbing out during combat to shoot the shit in discord
though with Kand in the mix you could easily just slap on mage gear and ice barrage for slayer
The degen in me also knows I’m going to like rolling the odds on 1 or 2 times just hitting a jackpot blind bag echo bs hit
i wonder if high hp targets are worth hitting up for slayer compared to chinning/barraging
"I have a max hit of 10k and a 1 in 10 million chance of hitting it" type shit
2shotting cerberus? undoubtedly
I’m either gonna hit a 5 or a 500 and we’re about to find out
well, 2 or 3
the echoes are going to be a big part of that crossbow i think
so some rng in there
the "i hate rng" build is just air mage
i just realized abyssals and nechs are the only enemies in wildy slayer cave without a pretty solid elemental weakness. very nice stuff
It really is but I also don’t know if it’s going to be a satisfying build to play
Stuff will melt but it’s still pretty normal combat
I think air build is gonna be cool for people to be able to mow down stuff they normally don’t get to do. That’ll be satisfying
the more fun ones will definitely be echo or blindbag related yea
randomly 1 shotting something cuz rng
air mage might have the highest potential actually consistent dps than anything we've seen in leagues before, barring maybe stacked berserker mage hits in L4
Air build is basically for accessibility and the rest of us are just gambling
even then you only got the first (or first few cuz travel distance) hits being taht high
this is just.... guaranteed forever
yeah it was like 2-3 hits
well, if you hit
tbf if you're looking at 50dps you're on something with a huge weakness so you're probably gonna hit no matter what
i'm going on both ends of the spectrum, an air mage and a bb/echo melee XD
no middle ground
Let em choose how they wanna die lol
i wonder what mage you need to be able to kill the average wildy slayer mob without wanting a lead lobotomy
everything has 1 mage lmao
huh... yea pretty much all of 'em
cept revs
and black drags?
wildy mage start should be pretty easy
basically everything except bosses, green/black dragons, revs and spiritual mages has 1 mage
and a ton of stuff has weaknesses
do we have confirmation that things like antler guard wont count for thorns?
leagues opens at 12am for me, its gonna be a long day 🤣
antler guard is a shield
i think?
I know its in the shield slot, but so are defenders and the devils element, do those count?
now that i look at the stats i would assume it doesn't count, but wiki says it's a shield as opposed to a defender or other "off-hand"
or well no it's a "shield-slot" item...
probably not then
this is the only thorns confirmations we have i think
devils element is not a shield
antler is a shield (according to wiki)
i think the answer is no we don't have confirmation
ye
wiki says it's a shield-slot item
based on wiki entry antler guard is a shield so it SHOULD work
but so are defenders and those are explicitly excluded
but
it actually doesn't say it's a "shield" as opposed to a "shield-slot item"
so i would imagine it, books, and other weird things like amy(off-hand) don't count
i think its safe to assume that only squares rectangles and squares with a triangle on the bottom count
odium ward wielders in shambles
because we know via confirmation that DE and defenders dont count
or tbuckler
LOL
okay
maybe theres a few shapes
t buckler is rectangle passing
"anything with a name explicitly describing it as a category of shield, such as a buckler, ward or bulwark"
with our good friend the tokz-ket-xil as a special case
ask yourself
"do i think this is a shield, or do i want this to be a shield?"
if the answer is the latter, it's probably not a shield.
"could i put this item in front of my face and defend against a rock thrown at me"
defenders are by design parrying daggers which though they are used as a shield like item they are in fact daggers not shields
but also by that logic antler GUARD seems like it fits
guards can be all kinds of things that aren't shields though
but maybe guard is more synonymous with defender than somethign like ward or buckler
ye
like armed guards, or shin guards, or fire guards
its werid that some entries state off hand and some that are offhands and not shields like defender say shield slot
like we can all agree that a book is in fact not a shield
but is a breifcase a shield?
🤣
it is rectangular
obviously
i do think that thinking about it from the perspective of, anything with shield ward or in the specific case of dihns bulwark in the name counts as a shield
well but then theres also buckler
and TECHNICALLY obby shield doesnt have shield in the name
or maybe it does its just a different language
honestly after looking at the list of off hand items, the only one that has contention is the antler guard and the briefcase 🤣
everything else is very obviously either a shield or not a shield
what did jagex mean by this
Are you guys picking Abundance or Endless Harvest? 
abundance for me for early task rushing, im not in the need of afk time
barb gathering 😄
is it a lot of points?
endless if you want to afk, abundance for rushing to the end but worse for point gathering, barb gathering i think is best for overall points
EH also for alts
it gives you a permanent +10 boost to all non combat skills, so you can do a lot of tasks like, chop a redwood, or fish a shark barehanded etc quicker
not the best examples but you get the point
tasks that need 90+ levels in to do outside of actual level tasks, can be done with like 30% of the xp
good for rushing to the endgame
also if you're not going for points, means you can stop most skill grinds around 80s instead of 90s
like me. i play for content, not points
i'll get my nice relic 8 and all my raid gear and stuff
but i ahve no desire for the 50m experience tasks
same
so i'm going abundance, cause that also resolves economic concerncs
i might send 200m fletching just cause with abundance and woodsman its super free and 0 time, and helps me get to t8 quicker
get me that tokkul
but outside of that
maybe 50m hunter eventually if i need the points for t8
but once im t8 i dont care so much about points
just cause hunter is 32x at t7
with woodsman
alright fellas
provided I have 80 defence by this point, do yall think I will be able to reliably kill the blue moon with this gear and no offensive pacts
addy skirt 😭
what's the gloves?
regen bracelet
ah
shouldn't you use obby if you're already going for onyxes
can get onyx before jad if that's the goal
though what kinda tree if no offensives? early thorns?
obsidian mace is actually weaker agaisnt blue moon than rune
oh right duh the shop is after jad my bad
early earth mage. I'll have some offensive pacts but none that apply here
ahhh
you could definitely do amoxliatl
could do that first for either the temotli's or just try for echo first
eh
probably could do blue fine tho
I'd rather avoid amox for now
yeah I just don't really like the amox fight
ah
amoxicillin fight...
Is it a bad idea/really inefficient to pick two regions with raids? I wanted to do tob for the first time, but the kourend echo bow is also cool...
nah, if you wanna do it do it
I think it's fine, kourend has so much other stuff anyway
if you're more into doing things than chasing points, go for what you wanna be playing
Blue moon is free as hell. Blood is a bit more awkward. You’d want sulphur blades
I only plan to fight blue this early
For his spear?
armor
Just get obby if abund tbh
it's my bis all the way until virtus
blue is solid
I'm looking into getting higher stats quickly
amox would speed things up considerably, but if you don't wanna, then that's fine
Need some cooking + hunter or fishing too
rune mace should do
my current plan is to get to T3 for the x12 total combat xp mult
then do Fight Arena, Tai Trio, and Knight Waves
Also I mean, getting glacial temotli would humongously speed up blue moon kills
that'll also give me piety which should help plenty
1/250 if you go for it before t4 tho
I'm actually something like x5 dry for glacial temotli in the main game lol
im also probably doing amoxliatl/naguas at t3, unless t4 is lowered to like 2k points
I already have boppers I jsut want em for clog and ca
It was the day before leagues, and all across the world.
All the players were stirring, including the mouse.
The monsters were set by the desktop without care.
In hopes that the servers would be there.
The leaguers were nestled all badly in their chairs.
With visions of mega-rares drops in their heads.
(I can’t come up with anymore but did it for lols.)
DPS was calced instead of going to bed
oh wait i do want t4 before amoxliatl/echo version. probably not getting overheads before transmute
my current plan would reach 1.8-2k points with hardest combat being fighting a buffalo 
have you considered safespotting the buffalo
i guess you do start with 25 bronze arrows so could be possible
i just put it further down the list so i have str levels from barbarian gathering
there's a staff shop in auburnvale and a rune shop in tal teklan
I plan to hit up both within the first 15 minutes
tal teklan is like 5min walk 
bird
quetzals are unlocked immediately
one of the autocompleted quests is the one that unlocks the quetzal network
wont have money at start either i guess
I've got a plan for that too
my plan just barely gets 150gp at start to buy things i need for tasks
12 pickpockets, 20 clay, and 44 flax is all I need to start the sapphire value engine
later going back to thieving which would get enough gp to do 1k gp cost tasks
im skipping crafting training and just completing death on the isle at 34 thieving
do we have an official time for when the league is dropping? dont tell me its gonna be 3-4 am pacific US west time on wednesday
uh
I have some bad news
it's going to be launching at 3:30 pacific
it'll likely get delayed though
update would be at <t:1776249000:t> (local time), leagues probably starts 1 hour after that + potential delays
no, have to complete it yourself (agility potion) 
nope
gotta get up for a tattoo appointment 10 hours later
guess ill just try to get up early
very late but i don't think that's true? even with just the berserker neck and regen bracelet, no other gear, it comes out in favour of the obby mace, despite the slower attacks
oh right, berserker neck
but... I don't think that would be a safe option against moons in addy armor lol
and if you're making one onyx, what's two, amirite
I'm gonna need all the def bonuses I can get
yeah that's fair
eh is definitely what im planning on taking but abundance is really tempting
+10 boost to all non-combats is way more enticing than i first gave it credit for
but i also really like afking lol
abundance gold is also very op early
that too
but being able to afk for 30 minutes to play other games or go shower or make food or do anything but play runescape sounds nice
wait the only way to do TBWT is with an irit for jekyll and hyde, skeletons from desert or mory, or mixology for potion packs
oh wait
actual toads not listed as a source
you need A, K, D or M to do tbwt without relying on a random event or doing mixology lol
Oh shame, salamanders don't benefit. They should've added like 2 items that buff salamanders or something at the very least, like while you are hunting salamanders you have a chance to get a salamander tail and if you use some wool on it, it turns it into a necklace. When wearing it, every pact point you got increase the Salamanders Accuracy and Damage by 2% And Heal you for .5% of the damage done per pact point.. Then also some other drop that can only drop from Tecu Salamanders that you can turn into a ring that increases Salamander Attack Speed by 2 Ticks. And for every pact point you have applied gives a .5% chance to proc a special effect depending on what style you are using. Like .5% Per Pact point to Proc 2 burn can stack 5 times when using Magic(Can apply to Burn immune creatures) .5% chance per pact point to proc venom with Ranged(Can apply to venom immune creatures.) and .5 to Proc Poison(Whatever the highest poison is. Also applies to Poison Immune Creatures.) when using Melee.
So in the end with 40 pact points assigned. You have a 20% chance to Proc 2 burn up to 5 stacks. 20% chance to proc the strongest poison. And 20% chance to inflict venom. All these effects can proc on immune monsters. Then 2 ticks faster, is 80% more accurate and deals 80% more damage. And heals you for 20% of the damage dealt.
Basically you would just farm minor pacts in the tree's, while ignoring most of the majors if not all of them. Then the playstyle is just attempting to proc posion, venom and burn, then focus on whatever style it's weakest against. The njust make sure the 25% damage increase when attacking with a different style works with them. Then Salamanders could've been effective. Probably not as crazy as other builds, and would require taking up a few gear slots where other things could go, but it'd work.
Must I got Desert or get grimoire for ancients. can I just grind out 99 mage and use mage cape for ancients?
Yeah. You need either Desert or Grimiore
You dont need to use mage cape, I dont think
I don't want Desert or Grimoire
Well then dont use ancients lol
DTII is autocompleted so i figued DT1 being complete means i can switch with cape
Taking desert completes Desert Treasure so you can cast ancients. Grimiore effectively does the same thing
DTII complete without DTI
holy moly
Yeah DT2 is completed but not DT1
this changes everything....
It'd be nice if just get 99 magic let you cast from any spell book. But that'd defeat the purpose of selecting area's exclusively for using magic, and effectively make grimiore half way pointless.
I could be wrong though.
desert yucky
You may want to check. But I feel like last league you had to take grimiore or desert
To use ancients
last league I took grimoire, this one I was thinking i might, but idk... culling spree beckons me
So yeah I think you need do need desert or grimiore
I think it auto completes DT2, but doesn't complete DT unless you pick desert or grimiore
Thinking of doing a water mage + thorns melee setup, not decided on regions other than K
https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-10-100-101-11-112-113-114-122-139-140-141-142-145-146-163-44-45-46-55-56-58-59-60-68-7-71-72-74-79-8-82-85-86-87-92-93-94-96-99
Plan what you will choose in Leagues VI using our Demonic Pacts tree.
Are there more channels than news and general for leagues 6? Or just those 2?
there is also leagues 6 discord server which has a lot more topics and more active. That one also has jmod information section for clarifications on relics/pacts/echo weapons. Can find link in #affiliate-communities
Is there any interruptable actions we could use to get access to a gorak's full drop table? I have a friend with a meme build idea.
Legend, ty
dunno if im doing this right ngl
don't do that it makes mustard gas
Endless barb
I'd recommend doing Zeah 2nd or 3rd. Kandarin would be a great first option
im not taking elf region so i do think i need barb
and endless is just for convenience
What build are you going for?
you don't need barb
50% success on failed rolls doe
huge with endless
i mean if you're going for 50m all or something maybe
I would just pick barb and flow state
right
so i dont really know what ill do
basically expect that by the time you get to t7, the only reason you will have to do skilling is for its own sake, like to knock out 99s for points, or go for post-99 tasks
credit where it's due, EH+BG+hotfoot would be a fantastic combination for getting 50m or 200m in a bunch of skills
but if that's your plan i would imagine you would already know that
Personally i would flip the order of the regions you chose
eh+bg+hf is extremely fast, what, mining, fishing, wc, cooking, smelting, and the best you can get for agility
...when i put it that way it's actually pretty shit lol
"only" 6 skills for 3 relics
why do people think EH is so good
theyre afk skills
why have them more afk it confuses me
click game walk away for half hour
like u do normally? cool
they're afk (runescape) which is to say not actually afk at all
idk i dont get it
for eh?
its the 3 most afk skills
im not hating, it just confuses me how over-rated it is
How are you afk mining
