Balance Otherworldly Golem HP for Group Ironman Mode

[humble coral]

Basically title.

Despite significantly reduced group size, he retains the same astronomically high HP pool, leading to disproportionately long and grueling fights in a mode already harder by design.

I am all for a good grind, but as it stands now it feels like Golem is excessively time and resource intensive on GIM, to the point where it feels as if you are just praying for RNG to be on your side.

The majority of our 6 man group has spent the better part of the last couple weeks solely preparing the food for a single 24 hour golem session (not to even mention potions), where with our current setups we can expect a gem every 17 hours on avg. From our calculations if all 6 of our members had 120 magic and nearly BiS gear, we could expect 2 gems in a 24 hour session on average.

To get a single set of 6 weapons for our group we would need do months and months on end of fishing and cooking, let alone the time and xp loss required to actually run Golem and this is of course assuming that we hit on average rates continuously.

Agreed - the time save potential from some of the upgrades is not worth the time investment at the moment, makes the content feel avoidable as a whole right now which is a shame.

There's a handful of upgrades if anything that might be worth it by the time you get to golem, but even then.. you need to be ahead of, or at least on par with average RNG rates atm, which isn't guaranteed.

You mean you don’t like 4 people fishing for a week straight to run golem for 24 hours. And barely have enough supplies even at that

At that rate you’ll never even use the 10million clan points you have. You’ll be positive on points a week even after the 40k investment.

Welcome to Ironman i guess, regular IM mode also takes 2 weeks of prep for 1 day of golem 😭

[tepid flame]

That doesn't sound right, what's the breakdown of time for that? 💀

edit: the clan cup point scaling for solo ironman is a bit different I guess, I see your point - a bit different to the resource gathering time being proportionately different though due to HP 😮‍💨

Solo ironman = 2,500 health vs 25,000 for GIM.

2500 x 6 = 15,000 if it were to be scaled the same way - pls help

Does solo Ironman have cheaper clan upgrades? 250,000 credits for that new upgrade is a lot of credits.

[reef roost]

Ways of the genie?
It's still 250,000 Credits but 100 skilling runs instead of the 1,000
