[raw nexus]

if i could

[abstract iris]

Idk… might also need a tbow

[wise violet]

[abstract iris]

Jad is scary

[raw nexus]

i have thought about it

but its too expensive

[abstract iris]

So it sounds like the plan is to get max combat, grind cox and spoon a solo tbow and then go to the fight caves

[wet lodge]

better get grinding that GP up then

[raw nexus]

i am not going to go to a raid

[wet lodge]

its only 31'612 hour grind of killing cows to get a tbow

[raw nexus]

they wouldnt accept me because i dont have a fire cape anyway

i am gonna either use armadyl or use blowpipe

[cold ice]

Do you want actual advice on practicing Jad?

[raw nexus]

i do jad sims

[wet lodge]

Look you can do fight caves with like 70s with a magic shortbow if you really want, its not that hard of content in the modern runescape with a bunch of super restores + brews.

[raw nexus]

i cant

[wet lodge]

You can, its pretty simple. You kinda just walk between two tiles to 1v1 mobs with the correct prayers

no flicks required

[cold ice]

There's an in game Jad sim too. Boot up any speedrun world quest that gives a fire cape and use that to take on the Jad challenges guy, same mechanics just a different model

[raw nexus]

i have done that too

but i want to be sure to beat it

[wet lodge]

if you fail its not a big deal, just run it back

[raw nexus]

its too long

so i want to be overprepared

[wet lodge]

you know what is too long

getting 99 prayer and 99 ranged

vs the 1 hour fight caves takes

[raw nexus]

i have autism and i get stressed too easyly

[cold ice]

If you can beat inferno Jad, you can beat regular Jad, it's just doing it at the end of the day. Yes the run back sucks, but life's like that, you try something, likely fail, pick yourself up and try again to fail in a new way, repeating until you git gud

[raw nexus]

look i have played the games since i was 12 and i am 19 now

[cold ice]

My brother in Guthix, we play RuneScape, we all have autism

[raw nexus]

i know it will take long

[graceful orbit]

whats fastest way to get scroll of imbue ?

[wet lodge]

don't be fooled by the youtubers who make fight caves out to be some grand pinacle goal. It's relatively simple content.

[cold ice]

Duel Arena I think

[wet lodge]

pray against dude who uses that style, react to jad. Thats it

if you fail, you learn

[graceful orbit]

fight caves is easy ??? whatttt

[graceful orbit]

yeah i think its between the duel and nmz couldnt decide thats why im asking

[hallow crypt]

duel arena

[wet lodge]

Duel arena is way way faster

[hallow crypt]

100% the fastest

[wet lodge]

takes like 10-15 minutes

[graceful orbit]

oh wow

thats quick af

[hallow crypt]

go into fights, forfeit, repeat

[graceful orbit]

works for a noob too?

[raw nexus]

ok diffrent question, how easier will it be if i get 99 ranged and 99 prayer for fight caves

[cold ice]

Mechanically yes. Fight caves is essy, you switch prayer, click a healer/jad, repeat

But it makes itself harder because of the time it takes to get to Jad, especially on your first try, so you're likely already tired from anxiety

[hallow crypt]

yep everyone can forfeit for points

[wet lodge]

99 ranged without chinchompas since im assuming you aren't rich in GP or have done monkey madness 2

would be like

60+ hours

[violet arch]

Not much easier

[wet lodge]

prayer would be extremely expensive

[graceful orbit]

how many duels would it take?

[wet lodge]

even the cheapest options to 99 prayer would be in the 10s of millions

[cold ice]

The prayer is negligible past Rigour, but yes, each combat level is a decent boost in terms of time to kill

[raw nexus]

i am gonna get the bones from killing dragons

[cold ice]

Technically Shades of Morton is a slow but profitable way to train prayer with a hugh enough fire making

[raw nexus]

i hate spending money

or gp rather

[wet lodge]

to get to 99 prayer you would need 180'335 dragon bones

[raw nexus]

i dont use any pots while doing slayer

[raw nexus]

i have 70 already

[raw nexus]

dps calc said it was +7 more dps

[wet lodge]

assuming chaos altar which is in a pvp zone, you would need 25k dragon bones then

[violet arch]

From 80 to 99 ranged?

[raw nexus]

yes

with my dream setup

[hallow crypt]

17

[graceful orbit]

thats it???????

[hallow crypt]

yep

[graceful orbit]

thats nothing lol

[wet lodge]

guys do I need full torva and scythe to kill scurrius

thats what this feels like we are talking about

[hallow crypt]

no you need a rotten potato to delete the boss

[graceful orbit]

if thats the case imbuing the b ring might be one is the easiest things done ever

lol

[raw nexus]

look i get stressed easyly

[graceful orbit]

and it doesnt cost me anything to go into the arena right?

[violet arch]

Show pic

[hallow crypt]

correct

[violet arch]

I see a 1.6dps difference using good gear (though not bis)

[wet lodge]

assuming you are killing dragons at an extremely efficient rate, the prayer grind alone would be around 140 hours

[hallow crypt]

only cost is a small amount of your time doing the duels that you will forfeit.

[surreal hollow]

imagine doing scurrius without an inferno cape

[raw nexus]

its ok

[wet lodge]

thats 140 constant hours of killing, so like 280 hours or 12 days straight of only killing dragons. Then you also have to use them all which would add on probably another 2 days straight

[wise violet]

[graceful orbit]

going there now lol

is there a specific world for it?

[raw nexus]

it was + 4

[violet arch]

Can you show the numbers?

Like comparing 80 ranged vs 99 ranged I don't get any numbers like that

[fervent crow]

80 to 99 range is a difference you can probably notice but isnt a difference that will be relevant whatsoever for your fire cape

[raw nexus]

not my dream setup

[fervent crow]

you still just die if you miss a prayer on jad and the waves are insanely easy no matter what

[raw nexus]

i would like to have 99 prayer too

[violet arch]

That's a 1.1dps difference

[raw nexus]

and 99 magic and 99 def

[raw nexus]

doesnt matter + it has less TTk

[fervent crow]

do what you want but its an insane waste of time as you can tell from the reactions

[violet arch]

For jad you're probabling better off bringing a crossbow or something

[violet arch]

It matters if you claim something lol

From +7 dps to +4 dps to it being +1.1dps in a picture showing a 4 max hit difference

[cold ice]

It sounds more like you need to improve your stress tolerance. Finding something that makes you a bit stressed, doing that until you don't feel any stress anymore and repeating until you can handle stress that would've left past you paralyzed.

[raw nexus]

look i am not smart so in need every possible advantage

[hallow crypt]

558 or 578

[graceful orbit]

and its safe death right?

@hallow crypt ive entered this world and it makes me create a char lol

[violet arch]

Yeah that's why people are helping you

[raw nexus]

if i had fortifed masori with blowpipe and amulet of anguish and 99 ranged ,99 prayer , 99 def and 99 magic( for magic def) it would be easy

[fervent crow]

also im kinda getting wildly different numbers ngl

not sure where 2.7 dps comes from

[violet arch]

Maybe he forgot prayer?

[hallow crypt]

correct

[gilded steeple]

Even in full max, Jad could still 2 shot you potentially. His max hit is 70+

[raw nexus]

i know

[graceful orbit]

why i started from 0?

[hallow crypt]

probably because duels edit stats in those worlds

[cold ice]

Easier*

Jad can still two tap you.

The main difference all the prerp work you're fixating on will have is shortening the time it takes to get to Jad. Though yes, it will also make Jad faster too, but as said, if you can beat Inferno Jad through speedrun world practice, you can beat regular Jad.

[wet lodge]

80 ranged on the left, 99 ranged on the right. the DPS is plenty to kill in the left side gear set

[hallow crypt]

so they probably do it so people don't exploit or something.

[raw nexus]

it isnt for me

[wet lodge]

lol

[fervent crow]

you havent even tried

[raw nexus]

i tried

[wet lodge]

brother if you can't do this, just give up

[surreal hollow]

@raw nexus you can go to the speedrunning world to practice jad until you're comfortable if you don't want to mess up and fail after getting through fight caves for the first time. it just lets you skip to the end fight.

[wet lodge]

you won't be able to do any real end game content

[raw nexus]

i did it

[fervent crow]

how often, how far you got?

[cold ice]

Then the only other thing that matters is getting stat checked by the ranger-mager waves

[raw nexus]

i did once and i gave up on wave 33 i think

[fervent crow]

yeah i dont consider that trying

[cold ice]

So... 25% or so of the way through by kill count?

[raw nexus]

i felt bad

no it was either 33 or 43

[gilded steeple]

Fwoof outside the lore channel? I need more lore get back there

[fervent crow]

everyone feels bad when they are bad at something

[cold ice]

That's how trying new, difficult things go.

[fervent crow]

thats why you try again

and you get good at it

[cold ice]

||I have escaped containment because I require more parasocial enrichment||

[gilded steeple]

Yeah fair, channels kinda dead today

[cold ice]

The biggest difference though I saw between the two setups is switching from an rcb to a bp, which yeah, that'd make a huge difference.

[fervent crow]

listen i get the feeling of needing to be overprepared, i think i went in there with 80 range and rigour and dragon darts which was well beyond what people told me and i oneshot it and felt dumb for preparing so much. even if it takes you 5, 10 or 25 attempts its still 1% of the time you would spend getting all those stats and gear. AND you get better at the game so you can do other stuff easier.

just overcoming things by throwing money at them means that you learn nothing and will struggle hard on anything you attempt after it

[raw nexus]

i have thought the same thing mutiple times but i

i can do other bosses

[fervent crow]

good then you can do fight caves np

[raw nexus]

no

its too long

[fervent crow]

do 20 attempts then ill believe you

[raw nexus]

you guys are dogging on me now

[fervent crow]

you know the funny thing is if you spend 6 months preparing for this you will be a million times more nervous

[raw nexus]

i just wanted to know how long would it take and how easier it would be

[fervent crow]

i am taking your feelings seriously and im giving honest constructive advice, idk where that is "dogging" on someone

[surreal hollow]

I did collosseum, delve 8, and almost cleared inferno on leagues with a non-water mage build. Clearing triple jad and dealing with manticores/solving was fun. it made me feel extra bad for putting off fight caves as long as I have.

[wet lodge]

its just not possible to kill jad without this levels of DPS, never been done before

[gilded steeple]

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone punched their ay through fight caves

[cold ice]

I think it's because it's hit a point of every reasonable advice or suggestion has been given, so either you put your plan of getting 99 range and a blowpipe into action or you just give Jad the ol' college try and see what happens.

But "It takes to long" This is RuneScape, everything takes a long time, you either accept the zen flow of it or find a faster paced game.

[raw nexus]

the only reason why i asked about my goals before was because nobody else talked about this before

[cold ice]

(but yeah, if you can, upgrade to a blowpipe from an RCB, that will make a substantial difference in clear times

[raw nexus]

i dont wanna talk anymore

[cold ice]

That's understandable, I wish you luck and endurance on whichever path you follow.

[thin granite]

Hi friends, is it smart to practice time management on getting T2 armor and T3 weapons in the regular gauntlet instead of trying and failing in corrupted? Im mobile with no plugins

[solid stream]

no, the prep is different

regular gauntlet has different spawn patterns

[thin granite]

Ah I understand

[solid stream]

generally speaking, if you want to practice CG at all, don't use normal in any situation

the boss attack patterns and floor tiles are different, the prep is different, the pace is different

[cold ice]

They are?

[solid stream]

you just have to tough out practice on CG

[solid stream]

he is significantly easier on normal - less tornados, less complicated floor patterns etc

[cold ice]

I thought the only difference was the reduced time to prep, extra tornado and increased stats, huh.

[solid stream]

normal is good so you learn the item names and what things do, but it's not great to practice for corrupted

corrupted is how you practice for corrupted

[thin granite]

Thank you for your time Renaulte

I currently have 92 range 85 magic, do you think ill be at a disadvantage with that magic lvl or should I be fine to go in?

[solid stream]

magic level doesn't mean shit in CG

the staff max hit is the same for any magic level

your range is fine, what about your melees?

[thin granite]

All 99s on melee

Hail the crab

[graceful orbit]

how to check how much points i have in duel arena

[gilded steeple]

That's a lot of crab

[wet lodge]

that really is alot of crab

[solid stream]

melee is going to be your highest dps option, but generally you just take the first 2 weapons you find

do you have rigour?

[thin granite]

No just the royal titans prayers

[thin granite]

Crabana bae

[solid stream]

you're more than ready

it's all practice and skill

with your stats i'd strongly recommend doing t1 prep

i'd recommend doing t1 prep in general but especially so for you

t2 adds 2+ minutes to every run, that's several extra hours of prep if you go on-rate to bowfa

[wet lodge]

i've heard that doing t2 prep atleast when you are starting is alot easier

[thin granite]

Incredible thank you so much, I really appreciate your responses

[solid stream]

there's a lot of debate over t2 over t1 prep and there's reasons to go for either

generally, if you're willing to fail a few more times to get better, t1 saves the most time because it makes you a better player overall

even if you're just starting out

but yes you will die more often until you get quite good at CG

[thin granite]

To be honest ill get some more reps in on both and see which method I prefer. Im just glad to hear my stats are fine enough for it and that I can give melee a shot in there as well

[onyx tangle]

I think t2 is fine to learn if you don't struggle to make time during prep but you should try to push for t1 once you are comfortable

[thin granite]

Looking forward to the grind, I enjoy the gauntlet

[solid stream]

general ironman advice on CG is to enter with around 80-90 melees, any magic level, and 87-92 range

if you're 99 on all melees then you're going to be more than fine

[thin granite]

Those rats 🐀 never stood a chance

[solid stream]

it's assumed you don't have rigour for those levels but you do have piety

[onyx tangle]

Good luck hope you spoon

[thin granite]

Yes I do have piety

[solid stream]

piety makes melees cracked especially without rigour

some players force range/mage every round and that's another thing that just adds extra hours to the grind

[violet arch]

Mage is extremely good though

[thin granite]

Yeah thats what I was doing, I was misinformed that melee was not viable in there

[solid stream]

be wary of whatever other advice they give, lol

[cold ice]

Melee is very viable, it's just harder

[solid stream]

ironscape goes through the CG advice dance like every day

[violet arch]

For melee/range you mostly want the relevant prayers and you're good to go

[thin granite]

Yall are amazing, thank you again

[graceful orbit]

how i can check how many duel arena points i have

[wet lodge]

go to the shop to buy something

[onyx tangle]

The guy at the entrance p sure

Near where the duelling ring teleport brings you

[graceful orbit]

in arena world or normal

[onyx tangle]

I think any world works but I'm not sure, try normal first

[wet lodge]

go back to your main/normal world, use a dueling ring. It's the guy in the shop right near you

[graceful orbit]

found it

thanks

im at 171 points

2 more wins against sweats or 3 forfeits

forfeits is faster people takes these fights like their life depends on it

[wet lodge]

forfeit is much faster usually, sometimes i change my loadout to have dragon claws into double spec

if they don't die i just forfeit

I can't be bothered to fight against someone chugging brews/foods for like 3 extra points

[graceful orbit]

true

but the sweats dont get it lol

if i imbue a zerk ring i can un imbue it later to sell it ?

or to imbue something else?

[wet lodge]

yes, you get the scroll refunded

if you are already at the arena i find like 3 scrolls is a good amount to get

slayer helm, berserker ring, one more for whatever else (ring of the gods/salve amulet/seer ring)

[abstract iris]

Its worth mentioning that the berserker ring is something you buy and never sell until way down the line when you are rich enough to buy an ultor ring to replace it

[honest glade]

I just do nightmare zone because it's actively training my account stats up anyway

Ngl

Works twofold for me

[graceful orbit]

got 1 already took me 15 minutes maybe

and im farming the defender

[honest glade]

Fair, but I just use it as AFK time since I need my stats to go up anyways when I'm usually at that point of my account

Though I'm not planning on unimbuing

[graceful orbit]

i usually afk at crab

[honest glade]

Sometimes I do forget crab is a thing

[graceful orbit]

lol

[honest glade]

That's newhead content

[graceful orbit]

these cyclops love their defenders

[shell orbit]

nmz is still legit for afking. can't beat that 20 min timer

[graceful orbit]

they never drop it

[honest glade]

I am out of the loop on super early game meta

[honest glade]

It's still very nice ye

[graceful orbit]

one more question

my att and str both 67

i got a whip

what to get to 70 first

str or attack

[kindred laurel]

att

[fair slate]

could anyone tell me how to get an ivandis flair in the league? I have mortanya and I checked all the hideouts but I cant find the dang dude who suppose to sell me one

[honest glade]

You don't need one to do the quest even though it says it does

Well, the part of the quest where it says you need one initially to take Ivan on a temple trek

You can use the blessed silver sickle

The NPC will show up later in the quest where you can buy the flail then

[fair slate]

thanks, is it possible to just make one?

[honest glade]

Maybe? If you also have access

[livid lake]

What’s the optimal spot for a teleport focus on a sloop?

[honest glade]

To a region with uhhh

The one NPC that sells unreadable gear

Perdu?

[fiery patio]

perdu

[honest glade]

If you have a region with him, you can buy the flail

[fiery patio]

thats where i got my flail from

[honest glade]

But you don't need the flail

The quest helper is wrong for needing it for the trek

[fair slate]

I dont think I have him. I just kinda want it now lol

[slim ember]

im new wyd first 🥺

[fair slate]

I did it. I have made the flail lol

[fair slate]

thanks for all your help dude!!!

[fervent crow]

quests

[slim ember]

uhhhhhh ok

[grave inlet]

is moons of peril unique drop rate 1/20?

[honest glade]

1 in 19 i think?

[raw nexus]

are frost dragons worth getting 87 sailing for

[honest glade]

Assuming you kill them all

[merry vortex]

as a money maker? no.

there are better money makers

[raw nexus]

for getting bones for prayer

[grave inlet]

ye ofc, thanks. trying to figure out what to use for money making now that i finished all quests

[merry vortex]

just buy dragon or a diff bone

[honest glade]

You have access to a lot of different varieties of money making then

[grave inlet]

tru, lots of choices now

also considering zalcano since i barely use resources from what i see, and moons of peril uses nothing

[minor slate]

nah cuz then ud have to bank them. I like frost dragon slayer tasks with a bone crusher. It's a nice lil bonus. They aren't worth chasing after to unlock but they ARE worth unlocking eventually cuz theyre just so nice and cozy. Super chill, they die super fast to dragonhunter wand + fire spells, decent money maker on a slayer task. All around decent.

[strong musk]

i've been playing the game for a month now and these are my stats, im f2p and i've been grinding ogress'. shall ispend my money on gems to do crafting? i have about 6m rn

[merry vortex]

i would suggest just dumping some IRL $ into membership for a month or two. But if you want to be F2P, yeah gems or molten glass probably best bet

[violet arch]

i wouldnt because youd only be getting levels out of it at that point i think

which isnt bad but it'd be throwing money away for where youre at rn

[strong musk]

i might stay f2p tbh as i do enjoy it and it makes it seem like a bit more of a challenge. i could save my money and buy bond and then have to make money in the time i have bond to get another

[strong musk]

anything you recommend?

[merry vortex]

it takes sooooooooooooo long for that and is unplesant being in moneyman mode

if you play a good amount per month; just dump the $15

[strong musk]

yeah maybe getting a month or 2 of membership wouldnt be that bad of an idea

because if i got it for 2 months hopefully i'd be able to make the money back from bossing and stuff

because i

[merry vortex]

you wont really

you dont sustain easily till later in game

when lower levelled you have to do oney makers that arent too good and dont progress your acc

[strong musk]

damn i really got no idea do i😭

[violet arch]

farming herbs is still a good chunk of gp

and its something you can do every 2 hours

if you get that membership ofc

as for f2p with gp, honestly no clue, i think youd mostly just use it for stats but itd be a waste if you go p2p after

[strong musk]

this is the current bank situation

if that helps you with a direction i should go

[violet arch]

if youve done all quests i think you've pretty much maxed f2p lol

[strong musk]

yeah i done ds1 and stuff like that

just grinding range rn

[wet lodge]

my god how long have you been f2p?

that's gotta be alot of playtime

[strong musk]

a month:P

[strong musk]

yeah bout 200 hours so far

Time to bully @stone smelt until he helps you personally

[weary valve]

You may have not followed the instructions properly

[stone smelt]

No, it just doesn't work for new players that don't have members

It's an annoying flaw in the system

[acoustic robin]

ohhhh

[weary valve]

It's members only??

For a F2P quest?

Jagex what the fuck are you doing

[stone smelt]

Not quite members only: You just can't join friends chat without having 150 total level

[weary valve]

If you're on desktop, just spin up an alt to do the phoenix gang part of the quest, takes all of 10mins

[stone smelt]

Since it's such an early quest, though, it's an annoying restriction for this case specifically

[stone smelt]

If you come to Varrock east bank on w301, I can give you the certificate half you need

[onyx tangle]

I don't believe so

I believe it just reduces disease chance, and farming level increases yield

okay on the way thank you so much

Thanks for the quick reply!

[acoustic robin]

Such a great community!

[night pollen]

How long would it take to clean all these fossils and then mine the mats and enrich the surplus? Never done fossils before

[onyx tangle]

Cleaning is fast, enriching takes a bit longer

[night pollen]

do you reckon i could get it done within an hour ish?

[onyx tangle]

Im sorry I don't have a great idea how long it takes because I ve never mined the mats

[wanton swallow]

Does anyone know if there a guide somewhere on the wiki to Kalphite Queen without flinching using Virtus and Blood Magic, or has my morning coffee not hit yet?

[weary valve]

Cast, step under and repeat I guess

[obsidian pasture]

That's very specific

[weary valve]

You can't just face tank, she'll out DPS you

[novel olive]

Is there a reason why my prayer seems to drain a significant amount more as I swap rings? Doing zulrah and suffering is only +4 but I just burn through prayer once I started to swap them

[wanton swallow]

Huh I must have halleucinated it I guess, I could have sworn there was some strategy using the Blood Ancient staff + Virtus + Confliction where both phases could be out-healed

[weary valve]

The prayer plugin can tell you how long you can have a prayer on for and you can see for yourself the effect of switching ring

[weary valve]

Definitely not

[vagrant kettle]

hello! i just came back after a year long break , and just bought a bond , and i was wondring what i should focus on so i am able to at least maintain it till i can buy another bond , and ty.

[obsidian pasture]

What other prayer items do you have?

[novel olive]

I’m away from my pc atm, is this just the timer near the minimap that “replaces” your prayer points

[novel olive]

Virtus and I think that’s it

[obsidian pasture]

On its own, a ring of suffering should give you 13.32% prayer, and with the virtus set that's 26.64%

[novel olive]

Cooking or zulrah imo, cooking is very slow though

[velvet flint]

why is there no tilapia in osrs

[vagrant kettle]

you think i can do zulrah with these stats?

[novel olive]

Right, I’m only swapping the ring out though for like a seers and my prayer just seems to go down a lot faster

[novel olive]

Mage only yeah, definitely would be a bit rough but if you could get supplies down maybe

[obsidian pasture]

It should be going down roughly 10% faster, which isn't a small amount

[vagrant kettle]

alright , will try ma best , if i fail maybe ill spend a day or 2 just lvling range ,thanks

[novel olive]

Just from swapping, In and out?

[novel olive]

I would check the wiki and see what all you got stat wise, void and twinflame is nice if you’ve got it

[silver drum]

You're still taking care of snakelings roght

[novel olive]

Ye, I’m putting the suffering back on when zulrah starts to spawn them

[obsidian pasture]

I'm not sure exactly how you're doing the fight and how much faster is prayer really draining

[novel olive]

A 10% decrease makes sense to me, I just didn’t think it would effect as heavily as it is

[stone smelt]

Have you seen the moneymaking guide yet? [[mmg]]

[half slate]

Wiki links found:
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Money_making_guide

[stone smelt]

It might be good to take a look at that page for some ideas

[obsidian pasture]

When I do Zulrah, my biggest prayer saving has come from delaying protection prayers until I'm about to get hit, instead of just turning them on at the start

[merry vortex]

focus on quests; get piety, do dt2 etc.

[vagrant kettle]

i prob did but long time ago , might revists soon before i activate the bond

Is there a recognised best POH? as in a build that everyone copies to be optimal etc? and if so is there a video?

[merry vortex]

iirc wiki has

[torn shore]

i need help im a new player (member) , how do i get out from death office? the dialog just limit on gravestones appears .... .. and when im using portal it says that "i havent finished talking you yet" while the dialog only limit to the gravestones dialog 🙁 i cant home teleport /minigame/ games necklace

[surreal hollow]

talk to death

[torn shore]

i talk to death like 100 times alrdy

[merry vortex]

purple door or whatever

death is looking at the door

other side of the room

[nimble cape]

are there any beef transmogs?

[torn shore]

i did that also , and yea its a bug. i fix it by log in thru mobile.. the full dialog for death didnt came out on pc

nice first death impression

[raw nexus]

Why is this a bad idea because I will get these stats anyway

[wheat spear]

because fight caves is really easy

and fire cape is just an easy max hit to get early

[raw nexus]

But I can't do it

[wheat spear]

wdym u cant do it

have u tried

and if so how many times

[raw nexus]

I tried once

[raw nexus]

And gave up at wave 43

[wheat spear]

wdym gave up

[raw nexus]

Walked out of the fight cave

[wheat spear]

why

[raw nexus]

Because I knew I couldn't do it

[wheat spear]

wdym

you got to 43

[raw nexus]

This was a year ago

[wheat spear]

why do u think you couldnt do it

[raw nexus]

I haven't done it since

I need better gear and stats

To complete it because I suck

[weary valve]

Better gear and stats won't mean much if your skills suck

[raw nexus]

It will be easier and faster

[wheat spear]

genuinely like

fight caves is so easy i dont think gear makes a difference past a certain point

iif you got to 43 first try you can definitely do it

unless u were somehow completely out of brews

in which case again gear wont help u there really

[raw nexus]

Yeah so I need better gear and stats

[elder lynx]

really enjoying sailing!

fantastic skill

thanks jagex

[wheat spear]

did u read anything i said

[raw nexus]

Look I am bad at the game so I need to grind for those stats and gear to beat the fight caves

[wheat spear]

im telling u thats not the case

like im 100% sure of it

[deft dirge]

why is the motherload mine sack not a multiple of 28 lmao

[wheat spear]

besides what are you even grinding fire cape for if you think you need to be that overgeared for fight caves

anything you would be doing with fire cape will be at least twice as hard as fight caves

other than like

vorkath

ur just gonna grind all those stats and get the gear and its gonna be the exact same experience as if u just did it at 80 range in black dhide and a blowpipe

[vivid oriole]

is the dps calc capable of calculating confliction gauntlet passive?

[wheat spear]

yea it does

[raw nexus]

Then I am not going to get the cape

I might as well use the myth cape

If I can't do it

[wheat spear]

why do u think you cant do it

[raw nexus]

Because my stats are low and my gear is bad

And I suck at the game

[wheat spear]

thats not a real answer

what about fight caves is too hard for you to do

[raw nexus]

It's too long

[weary valve]

You own a myths cape?

[raw nexus]

No

[wheat spear]

well its long regardless of gear and stats really if you do it inefficiently

[weary valve]

Legends cape it is

[wheat spear]

but im just confused why you quit out at 43

because you "knew you couldnt do it"

go until you die

[raw nexus]

When I tried it I used blessed chaps with dragon cross bow with enhanced diamond Bolts I think

But I couldn't do it

So I need better gear and stats

[wheat spear]

did you run out of brews

did you run out of prayer

did you die

[raw nexus]

I think I just knew I couldn't make my pots last long to the end so I gave up

[vivid oriole]

I'm unsure if i've made a mistake somewhere but now all of a sudden today it's showing that bowfa is just stronger almost everywhere, when i used to see it say ayak is my strongest in most places like akka and warden/obelisk. Is this accurate here? for a 350 solo?

[wheat spear]

try gearscape tbh

ayak is better

on p3 wardens 350 invo

thats virtus ayak tho tbf

[silver drum]

does that include ancestral and elidnis f

[vivid oriole]

i only have ahrims, so i had that in my calc

[wheat spear]

bloodbark ayuak is worse

than bowfa

wait sorry no

its not

i didnt put on the mage cape

with 20 ayak spec dmg and a 40 bgs

[onyx tangle]

For me when I look at that wiki calc that was shared it's capping at 109 magic salted which is wrong

Idk why

Should be 125 magic

[slow pivot]

probably bug from leagues pact since that stops at +10

seems like because of leagues pact they set global cap at +10 magic boost

saturated heart also stops at +10

weird though since the wiki dps calc i have doesnt have that cap, it is only in that linked version

[onyx tangle]

I can't tell on mobile but it looks like there is a pact selected in one of the tabs, maybe by accident, which could explain the cap

[slow pivot]

the default regen shouldnt do anything, he might need to refresh to update the calc stuff to fix it. Like the version i have gets to 125 magic even with pacts selected

[runic ledge]

anyone help me with

[grizzled briar]

Sailing PVP hasn't been activated, right? I want to chart these.

[prime gale]

right, the wildy ocean is to the east

but you prob won't have to worry about pvp for a good long time the way boat combat is going

[grizzled briar]

Thanks!

[graceful orbit]

is this setup good to train range at crab ? my range is 34

[onyx tangle]

Throwing knives are probably going to be better for you

But its serviceable

[graceful orbit]

very expensive

adamant knife is 250ish

[onyx tangle]

What about darts

[graceful orbit]

290 for knife

i have 409 mith and 350 adamant darts

[fast temple]

Adamant darts were like 10gp when I trained range wtf

[onyx tangle]

Wait it says addy darts are 33 gp

Just use those

[grizzled briar]

You could also switch the fury for a glory. They have the same attack bonuses for ranged. While the fury has better defenses, they're useless at crabs.

[graceful orbit]

yeah it doesnt really matter

its between darts and bone for me

[onyx tangle]

If darts are in the budget use those

[grizzled briar]

Rune darts are the cheapest between the three mentioned(Addy knives and rune knives/darts).

[fast temple]

Use steel darts

they're 3gp

[graceful orbit]

i dont wanna spend big on range tbh

[forest finch]

whoever made it so when you go into a moons of peril boss you can be in the middle of a mechanic should get fucking fired, it's not fun, it's pointless and it makes everything just fucking annoying when you have to farm it for hours and you always spawn in the middle of some bullshit mechanic and if you don't react split second you get damaged for nothing

[prime gale]

at levels that low you're better off sending with whatever than agonizing over optimization

get them levels for whatever short term need you have

[graceful orbit]

im aiming for 40-50 range as a short goal

also if im going range for jad

what range lvl is optimal

[prime gale]

70+

[graceful orbit]

will take time then ahh

[proper sinew]

FWIW you have a grace period when you join that's long enough for you to get to the spot on the floor. From what I've seen, the boss doesn't start hitting you untill eithr it's been a couple seconds or you hit it.

[grizzled briar]

The issue with that is the ranged strength. Addy is almost 6 times stronger. Rune is almost 9. @graceful orbit could prolly sell the furry to finance training skills and replace said fury with a glory, which is significantly cheaper.

Though Cryogryo is on to something with not agonising over optimisation.

[proper sinew]

If you spawn in and immediately hit it it'll smack you

[graceful orbit]

i have 4m gp but i wanna spend smart lol

cuz if i buy anything ill go broke hahaha

[pale smelt]

you can increase your efficiency with addy darts by investing in a rosewood blowpipe, the additional ranged str is better than most offhands outside of buckler and dragonfire ward. doesn't apply if you're going for rune darts or better but still

[prime gale]

sometimes there's nothing you can do during eclipse shield or spawning on a blood pool but like oh no, 10 damage in the free supply dungeon lol

[grizzled briar]

So you have two choices:

• Steel darts if you want to save money
• Mithril darts. They're 13 GP instead but have 9 ranged str bonus instead of 3.

[graceful orbit]

i have 400 adamant darts and 350 rune darts i could use too

[grizzled briar]

Use the best darts you can. Faster trainin > slower training.

[lean stirrup]

How do I get the plus and minus signs to go away when loot name is displayed on the ground?

[prime gale]

you could also just crossbow early slayer like we ironmen

crab is chill, but if you're going to be active...

[lean stirrup]

On mobile

[prime gale]

might as well do something more productive

[lean stirrup]

I have ground items enabled but it doesnt display the name of the drop, its only when I toggle "ground items overlay - edit" to on that it displays the names but it has the plus and minus signs

[graceful orbit]

im going to afk cuz ive been farming for the defender the whole day

[manic perch]

real quick question . if ive done all charting in the uquiet sea and get the exp drops for it why wouldnt i get the award of the charred key for it?

[grizzled briar]

Not sure. Maybe you need to choose the right dialogue options?

[slow pivot]

you need to bring your captain's log to [[Gerardus]] to get the items to unlock god paints

[half slate]

[main grove]

yall think im overlevelled for fire cave ive never done it before

ive just been grinding really

also ive seen that the blowpipe is good for ts but it costs like 10m to craft

would u recommend to grind for that first

[proper sinew]

i think you might be a bit underlevelled

i'd personally get max before trying jad

[grave inlet]

would u guys say this is the easiest 150 invo toa?

[proper sinew]

ihihihi...

[grizzled briar]

BP defentily helps. It's a strong weapon and you can use its special attack to heal.

You might want to practice first.

[onyx tangle]

Easiest is subjective but that's a p easy 150 yeah

[grave inlet]

ty

[weak socket]

how tf u max dmg, str, hp, nearly def and 88 range but not have 10m

[main grove]

crab

i like crab

[weak socket]

how long did u afk?

[main grove]

not sure

[wheat spear]

blowpipe is good

[main grove]

idk if its worth 10ms tho

thats like

10m

[wheat spear]

it is

[weak socket]

im crabbing rn too

[wheat spear]

blowpipe is genuinely one of the best weapons in the game

[main grove]

so its worth it past the fire cave too

?

[wheat spear]

its like barely worse than tbow in multiple spots

yes

[main grove]

mmm

[wheat spear]

its a 10mil gp megarare

[main grove]

i mean i have 12m but like i dont wanna use it

maybe i will

[grave inlet]

bp is goated but only for lower-def bosses

[wheat spear]

yes

[main grove]

But

[wheat spear]

its used in all 3 raids

if you dont have a scythe for xarp

[main grove]

if i get blowpipe i got like 2m to get armour and the other stuff

cuz im using saradomin blue armour

[wheat spear]

then make a bit more money to have some cashstack left

[grave inlet]

blessed d'hide is good enough

later upgrade to masori

[wheat spear]

i usually try to not have lower thana 10mil cashstack

[grave inlet]

or get bowfa/crystal from cg

[main grove]

whats cg

[grave inlet]

corrupted gauntlet

you have to do song of the elves

[main grove]

i dont have access to gauntlett

[wheat spear]

bowfa crystal isnt very good for mains

[grave inlet]

fair

[main grove]

i dont wanna learn to faz\rm

[wheat spear]

dw about bowfa

[main grove]

farm

[wheat spear]

i mean if u wanna do colo or inferno before tbow its good

but thats about it

[grave inlet]

from what ive read bowfa/crystal is better than masori no? unless masori(f)

[wheat spear]

masori is better almost everywhere

[midnight vortex]

masori f and masori not f give the exact same offensive bonuses

[grave inlet]

oh is masori f just better defensive then

[wheat spear]

ye

[wheat spear]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GAHjMEshkZpMPAfBBQXUUyG8CsB-4YI5cIbjH9ACzIU/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.wi41my1zxse7

[weak socket]

and +1 prayer point

[grizzled briar]

It's the kinda weapon that seems like it has a steep cost but you feel like it's worth it after getting it.

[main grove]

yall think the toxic blowpipe is that much better than dragon crossbow

[wheat spear]

dcb beats it on high defense

with ruby bolts

[main grove]

i use runite bolts

[weak socket]

has anyone calculated what the max stats are that u can get from solely only doing quests in the most effective way

[wheat spear]

yo uwant enchanted ruby dragaon bolts

[grave inlet]

so ig both weps have their uses i suppose

[main grove]

are better bolts even worth it

[wheat spear]

yea

[main grove]

they expensive af

[grave inlet]

but that just makes me wonder if bowfa is acc worth it

[wheat spear]

bowfa is not worht it

unless sending capes

before tbow

bwofa is incredible for irons tho

irons always rush cg unless theyre skipping it entirely which is like a more advanced efficient path

[grave inlet]

so instead of getting crystal/bowfa i should stick to blessed, upgrade to masori whenever and get acb/dhcb?

i have dcb atm

[wheat spear]

acb is useless and dhcb only for cox/vorkath

but ye

[grave inlet]

wait not acb

ehhh

zcb

[wheat spear]

also a big reason why bowfa isnt worth it is because shadow completely blows it out of the water

everywhere bowfa is good shadow just destroys it

[grave inlet]

well yea but shadow is a megarare and bowfa is not lol

[main grove]

blessed d'hide over huyercoatl armour u think

[grave inlet]

one costs 250m and the other almost a bil

[grave inlet]

huey is better by a bit

afaik

just for the pray bonus

[wheat spear]

huey is just prayer bonus

[grave inlet]

yea

[wheat spear]

which isnt really useful

so do wtv

[main grove]

oh shit nvm it costs 1m per piece

[wheat spear]

i never bought huey even for fc

[grave inlet]

alyla now u got me fucked up bro 😭

cuz i was scratching my head on what i gear i wanna go for next and u just scrapped my entire ranged roadmap LOL

[wheat spear]

well what content r u doing

its pretty esay to buy the right gear if you just buy the best gear you can for any given boss

[grave inlet]

before i got into questing to finish all quests i was doing entry mode toa, but now i unlocked a shit more so idk what i wanna do

[wheat spear]

ayak and confliction gauntlets should be a priority i think

thats magic but

its so good

especially for wardens toa and akkha

[wanton carbon]

i js got runescape what do i do first and is there any guides at all

[grave inlet]

isnt that yama

[wanton carbon]

im trying to be either melee or arch

[fast temple]

Just sell it all and buy a scorching bow for doom lol, I feel like doom 1 - 7 is insane gp

[grave inlet]

or mokhoiatl?

[wheat spear]

confliction gauntlets and purging staff shreds yama yes

you can use ayak on yama for the spec

[grave inlet]

nah i meant where id get them from

[wheat spear]

oh

no doom

both come from doom

[main grove]

install runelite

[grave inlet]

ah

[wanton carbon]

whats that

[grave inlet]

but doom would need good ranged gear right?

[wheat spear]

not really

elite void and scobow

[main grove]

lets u install plugins that help like quest helper makes the game much more enjoyable imo

[grave inlet]

elite void most notably

[wanton carbon]

and is there any guides i can follow

[main grove]

on yt probably

[wheat spear]

this is like the standard setup for deep delve doom

costs about 50-60mil if u include the ags2

which you dont have to use if ur not going very deep like past 16

[grave inlet]

lowk crazy amounts for me

gotta drop it down a notch

i think ill start with getting fighter torso and slayer helm and then maybe farm vork a little bit for assembler

[wheat spear]

oh yea idk where u are in ur progression

vork is good

[grave inlet]

i mean i can show u what kinda gear i got rq and stats

[wheat spear]

ye sure

[wheat spear]

ic

[grave inlet]

id say im like midgameish

[wheat spear]

so decently early game

[grave inlet]

oh

[wheat spear]

yea or like early midagme

wtv

everyone has different definitions for early game midgame lategame

doesnt rly matter

[grave inlet]

yea makes sense

[wheat spear]

just different names for the same point in progression

i would just pick a boss and get gear for it

thats gonna be the best way to like build a solid gear setup

[grave inlet]

so pick a boss, farm it for money and use the money for upgrades?

[wheat spear]

ye

vorkath is like a popular one to start out with

but you could also do moons

[grave inlet]

what abt duke? for some reason wiki says it can be like an 8mil/h and i think he was the easiest dt2 by far

and also melee which my stats are pretty good for

[wheat spear]

well first of aall take about 2mil gp/hr off of that unless you plan on getting the full sraa

because dt2 bosses drop an untradeable axe piece that you make into soul reaper axe

which is a big chunk of the profit

but you could do duke

if ur not in like quite good gear you can expect like half the advertised profit

[wanton carbon]

it wont let me log into my account in runelite

[grave inlet]

i mean id be 10x happy even with 3m/h

[wheat spear]

because oathplate emberlight nox hally bellator ring bgs pretty much doubles ur dps over whip

vorkath is recommended because hes so consistent

dt2 bosses ur waiting awhile for a decently rare dro

p

[grave inlet]

is elite void good for vork?

[wheat spear]

yea but i would recommend u do melee to start out

[wheat spear]

like 5mil of the gp/hr from duke is from drops that are all like 1/1000

[oak geode]

yeah rng bosses are quite painful as a mid game player

[grave inlet]

im tryna remember what my experience was like with vork in ds2

[oak geode]

you can make so many upgrades so fast with stuff like vork

[grave inlet]

i have a feeling it was a close fight

but it was ranged

[wheat spear]

vork is simple

one of the easiest bosses

get a fang and a fighter torso/blood moon chest

can use barrows legs

[oak geode]

only real mechanic is acid walking and even then you can kinda just ignore it while learning

add it in when you get more comfortable

[wheat spear]

and yea like this is the recommended gear to reach that 8mil/hr mark

which is at least twice the dps of just whip

or arclight

[grave inlet]

so maybe i will do moons of peril until i get 20m to buy fang

to then do vork

[wheat spear]

thats what i did when i was starting out yea

and do herb runs

[grave inlet]

ig before i do that i might as well get torso

since it's barb assault torture

[wheat spear]

you dont have to get torso cuz now blood moon chest exists

but if u wanna get torso do it

[oak geode]

it's really not that bad

[grave inlet]

i dont rly like degradable gear idk

[oak geode]

it's like an hour or two and you use it until the next upgrade which is 100m

[wheat spear]

yea

[grave inlet]

fighter torso?

[wheat spear]

yea u use fighter torso until torva/oathplate

[oak geode]

yeah

[grave inlet]

i actually think it'll take me a full day lol

but still worth it

[oak geode]

just take like 2 mins for a guide of each role and make your own party as leader

that's it

don't skip the guide and don't sit there in lobby spam yelling over 50 people praying to get picked

[grave inlet]

last time i tried, i did the tutorials and sat at the like public lobby where u get random ppl, nobody knew what they were doing and the game was over in like 5 mins max 💀

[oak geode]

it's really not that bad

when you're done you'll thank yourself for the next like 1000 hours until oath

[fringe widget]

can i pay for more sub time even if my current sub hasn't expired? not sure how it works

[oak geode]

yeah it just adds to the days

[fringe widget]

alrighty ty :)

[weak socket]

whats the next upgrade i could get?

(yes ik i need to imbue the ring i didnt wanna do that yet)

(whats best and fastest way to imbue the ring)

[haughty helm]

Emirs arena, every match will give you points win or lose

[weak socket]

can i just start match, and forfit

and repeat

[haughty helm]

Yep!

[weak socket]

anything i gotta unlock for the arena?

[haughty helm]

Takes no more than 30 min

[weak socket]

like quest req or so

[haughty helm]

Nope!

[weak socket]

awesome

there any other rewards i can get from it?

or only that scroll of imbuing and the surge sacks

what is that hammer i see people using on crab which makes them say raaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

[midnight vortex]

that is a dragon battleaxe

the spec boosts your strength level and makes you yell like a barbarian

[weak socket]

weird thing i cant use my hotkeys (or any keybinds not even F keys) inside pvp duels

[weak socket]

how long does that special last?

cant find the info on the wiki

and does it stack str with super combats?

and does the buff last swapping of it?

[wind thorn]

it doesn't, it's basically just using a super strength pot so however long that usually lasts you is approximately how long it'll last

[weak socket]

this is pretty annoying 0 hotkeys work

[midnight vortex]

you have to redo them

[weak socket]

wdym redo?

[midnight vortex]

pvp arena worlds are on a seperate profile that wipes your meeting s

settings*

[weak socket]

omfg thats annopying

but ty

[candid forge]

is there a way w/ the Timers & Buffs plugin or something similar to where I can have all of the buffs & whatnot come up so I can configure them where I want w/o having to like drink several pots/cast arceuss spells lol. feel like there've been other similar plugins where when toggled, they all pull up & the timer is just suspended at max value or w/e

[oak geode]

boost information?

but the stats are all grouped into 1 thing afaik

you can go into akkha and tank a black special to get giga drained on everything

to move them you're gonna have to activate them to bring up the infoboxes

[candid forge]

Hmmm that's the plugin I'm looking at rn. I think I can already kinda segment off various boosts and stuff into their own lil connected segment if I please w/ detaching. Iunno tho it's w/e, just rather do it rn w/o have to like go into cox & whatnot while working lol

Appreciate the reply 🙂

[oak geode]

hope you find it gl

[plucky rock]

i got fire giants as slayer task, should i farm royal titans?

[keen lantern]

You could

[plucky rock]

the crazier the monster the more xp right?

[fallow horizon]

When buying pieces for a set, does it matter which order? Or do you just pick w/e pieces is the cheapest currently?

[keen lantern]

Xp equals their health normally

[fallen sinew]

is leveling prayer and slaying the main objectives at some point?

slayer

for skills

[keen lantern]

There's no main objective

[fallen sinew]

also does this game get better once you start getting into the questing?

[keen lantern]

Yes quests unlock most fun content

And very good gear

[fallen sinew]

i meant like the most important skills to level high haha

and thank you

[cold ice]

Runescape is a game that you get out what you put in

[keen lantern]

There's some bosses that are locked behind slayer

[fallen sinew]

alright

thanks

been playing since 2003

just got into OSRS finally

[edgy fractal]

Depends on the set in question. Typically buy the cheapest

[fallow horizon]

I see. Currently trying to transition my bandos to oath, but all oaths are quite similar in price

I think ill get helm last since im mostly grinding slayer atm

[edgy fractal]

Oath legs first, then helm or chest, probably chest

Depends on the content you send

Legs give the best stats compared to other pieces

And then yeah if you're sending slayer delay the helmet for sure

I thought you meant like skilling sets instead of combat sets at first

[short prism]

Doesn’t chest give the biggest upgrade?

[edgy fractal]

Yes, but it's more expensive if you consider a complete set

• Bloodmoon chest+oath legs = 97m
• Oath body+bloodmoon tassets = 103m
  You pay extra 6m for +4 slash

If you're using bandos instead of blood moon then yeah oath chest is better and the combo is cheaper (although bandos is widely considered as "bait" tho)

So yeah, you're paying less therefore getting oath benefit quicker which should be better than the +4 slash

[obsidian pasture]

If the combo is cheaper then getting bandos over blood moon is no issue

Bandos is considered a trap because it is very expensive for no strength benefit

[burnt moth]

How does moons dry protection work? If I've just got 2 pieces of a set are the other two pieces twice as likely to get?

[limpid frost]

Its more like if you roll for the set again you'll get the missing piece. The likelihood of a diff set is the same.

[fathom vector]

Its always the same odds i believe

[vivid oriole]

Does anyone use BGS against p3 warden (350)?

[weary valve]

People without shadows do

[vestal sedge]

In the mother load mine, is it worth it to buy the upper level for 100 gold nugs? Or should I save that and just buy the prospectors outfit for 180 gold nugs?

I’m not sure what the upper level does or why it’s better

[obsidian pasture]

The upper level is super worth it

Basically, it allows you to spend more time before the vein depletes

[vestal sedge]

Why? Btw I’m lvl 61 mining idk if that matters

Oh so it’s more afk?

[obsidian pasture]

This gives you more AFK time, more paydirt per click, and more paydirt per hour

[vestal sedge]

Ah ok, so the rate is also faster

[obsidian pasture]

And you can pay extra to unlock a closer paydirt deposit

The rate is the same but there is less wasted time so you get more

[vestal sedge]

Hmm ok, thanks dude

[viral sonnet]

What am I doing wrong?!? (Ok, I know I messed up the first and third - between pressure with recording and the dog deciding that was the perfect moment to scramble around...but what did I do wrong on the second/fourth?)

Edit: I figured it out - I was clicking 1 too many times at the end

[queen yew]

I'm currently doing some upgrades to my poh... i've got nexus, digsite, xerics pendant and jewellery box all set up.

Is there any teleports to desert from poh? I burnt my Spectre building the altar and it is spenny for another one

[solid stream]

depends how deep in the desert you want to go, generally speaking the best desert teleports are non-poh

i.e. desert amulet 4 and sceptre that you spent on the altar

jewelry box/glory gets you to al kharid

camulet is another option

house tab can be redirected to pollnivneach

[queen yew]

Anything that saves me running from Nardah to Sop. (Peak laziness) Welp time to grind for another spectre

Ooo redirect is a good idea for everything else!! Forgot about those scrolls!!

Thank you!

[solid stream]

there are a few fairy rings as well

[queen yew]

I'm currently doing Beneath cursed sands to get that one fairy ring but man tryna run around the champion on a trackpad is a nightmare

[rigid bronze]

if u get 2 pieces of the set then the other 2 will follow after

this only works for the first full set

[burnt moth]

yeah, so for example if I have 3 pieces, will the 4th drop from the roll of any piece? Meaning it has 4x drop rate?

[rigid bronze]

no it means that if u have 3/4 of a certain piece, the next time u roll that armour set then u get the final piece

it doesnt stop u from rolling the other 2 sets

[vivid oriole]

Just so i don't have to retype this question

[silver drum]

are you doing range trap?

[midnight vortex]

if oyu have more overlords on sometimes you will have to do that yes

part of why its a terrible invo that you should never turn on

[silver drum]

you don't need it to dung twice before the first set, just kill ranger while melee walks around to you, then make sure the trap's set before second set

this strat works pretty well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS5cIM2i59g

[shut juniper]

i bought an enchanged gem from the slayer master and there is a number on it? what does it mean and why does it keep going down?

[silver drum]

slayer task count

you have 63 kills left

[shut juniper]

oh lol thx, i thought it was charges or smth

[vivid oriole]

In this video why did he do the triple row east instead of just blocking the second set melee spawn?

[silver drum]

because the plan is to melee the meleer instead of trap it because melee's more dps

though if u have shadow u could trap it

[vivid oriole]

i noticed he also meleed the mage bug. so you should just never swap off fang the entire room?

[midnight vortex]

keris is better on the scarabs now, that vid is old

[vivid oriole]

what's the priority of the most deadly things inside babboon room? i just cannot seem to stop fuckin wasting 2 full brews when i clear that room solo.........

[midnight vortex]

shamans (the guys that spawn thralls) > cursed (acid) > whatever you're not praying against > whatever you are praying against

clearing shamans asap so you don't have a million thralls hitting you is the #1 thing

[vivid oriole]

alright good to know

[silver drum]

yep even non blue keris is gonna be ur best bet

[midnight vortex]

also im gonna reiterate if you're just learning solo toa please turn off more overlords and don't trap, that invo is so horrendous

[vivid oriole]

I have like no choice. i want an easy masori kit without having to take the 66% supplies

[midnight vortex]

i see

[vivid oriole]

I'm confused why people are talking about how good keris is against scarabs when discord people told me many times that fang still outshines keris

[silver drum]

against the melee/ranger/mager scarab not kephri (above a certain invo)

keris will be better

[midnight vortex]

it's a pretty small difference

[silver drum]

on the little scarabs? its about 15% in max

[midnight vortex]

which is like 2 ticks ttk wise

[silver drum]

nvm im dumb

[vivid oriole]

what should i wear for just 1 way switches in babboon room?

[silver drum]

id camp range gear and bp but wear enough melee gear that u can onehit rangers with vw (+piety)

[vivid oriole]

I wish it was simple to just quickly calculate what att/str bonus with 99 +piety is required to 1 shot them. i'm aware they're easy at the start and then 35 health near the end. But can you sometimes still just 1 shot them anyways at the end?

I mean why not just BGS swing all the melee ones to guarantee 1 shots?

[silver drum]

attack cooldown

[zenith badge]

any dedicated chat channels for leagues shooting stars?

[midnight vortex]

you always max hit so

you either always one shot or never do

it's pretty simple to calculate though no? put your gear into dps calc, see what switches you need to hit 35

rangers are 35, melees 30, mages 25

cursed also 25 (i think? they're low hp)

[gentle geyser]

Im a guy whos never played OSRS and have no friends who have played to help me. I want to start a ironman and just play the game. But have no idea where to start. The game seems so confusing. Is there any hope or should I just skip out on this game?

[vivid oriole]

Looks like you really can't get a good way to 1shot if using ayak so i'll just accept that it's always a 2 shot, wear full crystal with avas, rancour, barrows, d boots. then ranged and melee weak enemies should all be within 1shot range

[wet lodge]

The wiki is one of the best wikis ever made, use it often if you'd like. Things like Quest Helper are also very helpful in runelite

Ironman is a longer/harder grind vs normal

but as long as you are fine with that, you can do ironman

Youtube is also absolutely full of guides on just about any piece of content.

[cold ice]

Starting with the f2p quests is a great way to feel out if the vibes of RuneScape are something you'd enjoy

[wet lodge]

Do you want to be max powergamer, optimal routes? Or do you want to just take the game in as it is?

[gentle geyser]

I want to be powerful

[wet lodge]

Well you will get powerful haha, its just a matter of what kind of experience you want.

Some people like the stories/quests vs some who just want to rush to end-game PvM

exploring vs powergaming

[gentle geyser]

id like to fight the biggest monsters

[oblique pine]

Yo is the courier task XP boost already live???

[wet lodge]

Stuff like this for an ironman is a relatively optimal route to solving your main issues and getting to the big bosses/endgame https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Guide:Mootrius_Ironman_Guide

[gentle geyser]

sweet

[onyx tangle]

Only if no ayak or shadow but yes

[glass stone]

does the extra spell from twin flame staff count for Contract of sensory clouding special condition?

nvm, it does

[vivid oriole]

I feel like i could cry. I was pretty far into my best run in a 350 when suddenly i'm being hit for fucking 40s by akkha. i guess that's what Keep Back does to you. I was fuckin stepping back but he'd keep walking into melee range despite being on his ranged rotation. fuck.

[midnight vortex]

yeah keep back is quite difficult to learn

[solid stream]

obligatory i have to say this guide is dogshit

now there’s lots of ways to play ironman, especially if you want to follow a guide, but the closest thing to “meta” is this guide https://ladlorchart.com/

which is based off the bruhsailor guide

[solid stream]

i’ll just mention that if your goal is bossing in osrs then ironman is the slowest possible way to get there

you’re talking potentially a thousand hours before you stop being a hard carry in raids

[wet lodge]

This is literally worthless for a new player.

they don't even know what a amulet of strength is or best way to obtain it

this is just checkboxes

[solid stream]

ladlorchart is linked to bruhsailor which is an incredibly detailed guide complete with meta/optimal pathing and casual alternatives

[wet lodge]

So link that instead

[solid stream]

if you want the detailed handholding then click on the linked bruhsailor guide in the post

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://umkyzn.github.io/BRUHsailer/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1778987477057346&usg=AOvVaw1rFeW2FOMAD7CbmfsWN_L5

this is linked in that same page lol

anyway that mootrius guide is really bad, there’s a ton of steps he takes that are useless

ie rune platebody and platelegs

complete waste of early money

[wet lodge]

Yeah bruhsailor seems to be a bit better optimized. Rune plate body seems like an odd choice

one is a bit more open-ended of a guide, bruhsailor guide is very much a follow this exact line of play kind of guide

its like a speedrun guide vs a strategy guide

[left tulip]

is there a way i cna profit with going from firemaking 1-50

[wet lodge]

not really no, its literally burning logs

[onyx tangle]

No

[wet lodge]

you could pick up the ash and sell the ash back but that is ultra tedious

[left tulip]

dang thats what i thought

what about cooking

[onyx tangle]

no

barely

[wet lodge]

do you need a gp maker?

[left tulip]

i need to skill and get gp for barrow gloves

[wet lodge]

smithing is pretty profitable at very low levels and has good xp rates

if you do giant's foundry

[left tulip]

can i make any money from 29-40

[wet lodge]

400k-500k gp/hr yeah

[left tulip]

like even 60k

WOAH ok

[wet lodge]

it wills scale up to almost a mil at 81 smithing

If you are at 29 smithing, you should hit 30 with the tutorial quest

then just buy steel and iron plate bodies to melt in a 2:5 ratio

2 steel, 5 iron plate bodies

[left tulip]

oh ok easy

[wet lodge]

buy kovac's grogs from the reward shop for big GP on the GE

you also get raw gold

like 100k ish in pure gold profit

[left tulip]

that will def be helpful thanks

[wet lodge]

i'd also list your grog quite a bit higher than the GE rate, they were instant selling at 180k each the other day

worst case you relist after 15 minutes for a bit less ;p

[weak coyote]

Is Vale Totems training positive or negative GP/hr? I'm a bit confused, because I remember doing it and making a good chunk of GP, but the wiki shows it being a loss.

[grizzled briar]

Prolly depends on what everything sells for on the GE.

[weak coyote]

maybe it's not accounting for the rewards from offerings?

[grizzled briar]

That could be it too as impling profits don't account for clue rewards.

[golden dome]

Question, how do people have post-99 stats like this? Is this an rs3 thing, or is there something else I don't know? https://youtube.com/shorts/kgaszMMxpuE?si=0vWbnIRyKSMF1fkE

[onyx tangle]

like the virtual post 99 levels you mean?

[golden dome]

I don't what you mean by virtual post 99

[onyx tangle]

Its the runelite leaderboard player lookup thing. It uses the exp formula to calculate what the levels would be if they were able to go beyond 99

its just for fun though. its not actually in game

[golden dome]

Ahh okay, nice to know.

[dull path]

Does anyone know where to post trawling boat offers? I heard Irons were paying to be taken out for Marlin trawling

[onyx tangle]

Im not aware of any official channels but you could try #1019986930517151794

[snow sigil]

There’s a Discord for it, I’ll drop you an invite in DMs

[dull path]

ty ty

[oak geode]

no need to do keep back until you're consistently farming 500+s
