You shoot a bit under 250 shots with your 10/10 bow and then switch for bow with less charges for a few shots to let it degrade instead. Then you switch back to 10/10 to continue with full power. Disadvantage of this is that you have to somehow measure your shots either using timer after expirementing how long it takes for you to shoot like 240 shots or simply by counting. It's easy to mess up in the long run though and then you'll get annoyed for using 9/10 bow instead of 10/10.

Seercull bow spec anyone? :unsure:

Healing aura description from KB: " Heals up to 15% of your life points"
Does this mean that while you are wearing full set of new armour boosting your lifepoints to 1490 you also get 223 lifepoints per unicorn scroll used instead of what it normally gives?
990 + 400 = 1490?
Made it on purpose! For real!

So...as we have all seen in videos, range seems to be the consensus best to kill nex(and melee for minions), but we don't yet know what the best equipment for it is... Crossbows seem most common, but hand cannon, too should get consideration with superior damage and range, countered by the ability to use a shield and have a higher range attack bonus(chaotic xbow). Then there is a question if void should be used, or if the superior range attack bonus and life boosting gives Pernix the edge. Another question is what prayerbook should you use. For most ranging purposes, rigour is better for damage, but for high defense, the leeches really shine. If leeches work fully on nex(haven't seen confirmation about full 10% bonus yet), it's likely a another strength vs. accuracy question. Overall, the best setup is likely a good compromise between the two.
to sum up:
Equipment for ranged strength:
Rigour
Elite Void range
Hand cannon
Equipment for ranged accuracy:
Leech ranged
Pernix (Armadyl)
Chaotic crossbow(diamond/rune/ruby bolts)
Any sightings about this, anyone?
I haven't personally tried Nex yet but in general terms of boss killing with teams it's enough if 1 person uses leeches and rest use rigour against boss. Although in case this leecher (in positive meaning) dies it'd probably be good to have another player on curses as well.
About weapon.. Most likely the new Zaryte bow is designed to work wonders here but of course it'll take a long while before everyone doing nex has it. (Remember how long it took for Bandos teams to require AGS or even Godsword for people to join teams). But before it.. I'd say hand cannon. Shields don't seem to do wonders there what I have seen in videos and if i wasn't completely wrong the range of hand cannon is pretty useful. Requires quite high fm level to be trustable enough, though.

Do you have turmoil, overload, all best equipment, slay a lot, and have a big pile of geepees sitting on your bank doing nothing? Then yes. If not, there's a thousand better things you could be spending that money on.
If he slays a lot he should NOT use it, dragon defender is best in all slayer scenarios except wyverns ;-)
Exactly, if he slays a lot it's the only scenario he can be fighting wyverns where he needs it ;) well not need but to use it somewhere where it's useful.
Edit. Noticed that made no sense so i try again: Yes he uses dragon defender everywhere else when slaying but also wants to do those occasional wyvern tasks as efficiently as possible and gets it for that purpose only. If he wouldn't slay a lot there wouldn't be this need to buy it.

More and more people are getting 85 dungeon so it'll be harder to get a world/spot.
Which in turn means that this is not as good money making method as it was when this guide was released, still very good though. Just that people who don't cannon will steal some dragons from you when you are cannoning.
I liked personally using elite void with deflector and barrows gloves when meleeing them with cannon, didn't really get much more hit by their meleeattack. I'd recommend it in case you have them already :) Just because it'll give you longer trips with more offensive potential.
Prayer bonuses: Elite void: +8, bandos chest and tassets and neitiznot helm: +5 (+8 if using verac's skirt instead)

Oversized picture sorry i know but don't mind it :P
My second solo hilt ever, previous was from zammy too.

Recently a friend who didn't know I play RS tried to get me to try out wow for some discount price. Well I told him that one mmorpg is enough for me and he asked what mmorpg i play then. After i answered Runescape his response was "you are not serious, are you?", "wouldn't it be time to alread upgrade for something better?", "it's just some grindfest what i have tried", "it has so [cabbage]ty graphics too", "has it any content even?", "i like the teamwork aspect in wow". Strictly speaking he couldn't understand why in the heck i was playing RS instead of something more shiny and better game :P
I have to admit I have never even tried any other mmorpg. But if i'm happy with rs and already used so much time with it why would i change? All i'd get would be same [cabbage] with different cover (and frustration to start all over so to speak).
While RS to him was clearly a baby of mmorpgs to me it's the king of the mmorpgs :)

Nvm, it's all good :P

People will complain as always before getting used to it but this feels a nice future update to me :)

I was just looking for ideas on what to wear on the torso and legs when it comes to general training of slayer. I used to use combo's like Fighter Torso and Dragon Legs, but I want something a little better now. I would like Bandos Chest and Tassets but can't afford them at the moment (just bought a dfs). What do you normally wear in those slots?
I'm happy with proselyte top and legs on most tasks. Unless i need magic defence in which case i wear karil's. Always turmoiling tasks, which imo makes them both more efficient and more fun.
-
Sorry haven't tried cavefish. I's not much different but of course safespotting is a bit different.
Not sure if you've mentioned w84 or not (I don't think you did, or at least did not emphasize it enough), but using it GREATLY reduces damage.
[hide=4. World choice:]
84, 2 or any other world with populated Cavern. 84 is my favorite. Working alone is not as efficient because monsters will concentrate on you more thus slowing down xp rates and making you to take more damage.[/hide]

Is this possible with 1 Summoning? I have 89 attack/strength, 99 defence, 96 range, 99 hits, 70 prayer.
I died around 6 times when didn't know you can use familiars (being on prayers without curses too). I used ranging tactic with rubies, brews for healing. At best I got him redbarred (at his berserker state).
So i wouldn't say it's impossible but will most likely take a lot of tries. I didn't use any spec weapons (BGS, AGS, D claws, SWH, Darklight etc.), though. And didn't dodge 75 attack either. And didn't know tactic of detecting the right nomad after he multiplies himself.
-
Curses. Leech defence, leech range and leech magic are very helpful and beat prayer counterparts by far.
-
Approximate time would be around 75 minutes for all herbs. I personally use amulet of nature on the last farming patch on my run. I find it very helpful when it announces when it's ready (since it's last patch it means that all other patches are ready too, unless diseased).
-
Dragonfire attacks used to be negated with mage pray+ antifire pot. However, I think it got changed quickly after they released mithril dragons since people were "abusing" it there.
-
Player's gallery it's for me. Always looking them up for fun :)
Sometimes it's hard for me to get myself to read Postbag from hedge. Lores are fun to read when doing multitaskable things (fishing ;))
I do like also some of the wallpaper pictures, especially Zilyana looks hot in them!

My worst magpies have given under 20k loot, record is 88k (that one had really a lot "white" stuff). So, on average it tends to be around 40k which is pretty good imo.
-
They should make GE prices to update constantly instead of once a day (or in some cases once a week or once a month..)
-
You could easily duo KBD but problem would be finding free lootshare world. KBD is always incredibly crowded :P
I wouldn't really say that metal dragons (except maybe mithril dragons) were boss type monster.
-
Magpie I'd say. 20k-90k profit in 35 minutes is something hard to beat.
1 choice is to use fruitbat with scrolls, works with some tasks. I personally use it often when smithing, doing 1 invy gold bars, then using fruitbat bar and picking papayas, then doing another invy etc. Of course using bat slows down your main task so it's up to you what you prefer.
-
Do it sometimes for a random chance and fun but don't purposely start hunting visage since it's wasting both time and supplies. It's just my word of advice :P
0 visage for me, 12 KBD heads and over 2k mithril dragon kills. And some iron and steel dragons for slayer.
If you are after visage I suggest you stick with dragon tasks you get when doing slayer.
-
Done 3 tasks in that dungeon and 0 rings by this far :( Guess I'm just unlucky with them. On the other hand I think I have never got g maul drops either.
To your question, yes, you can get multiples. And I recommend keeping your last ring and not to use it for teleport before you get new ring drop.
Super Prayer and Overloads
in Help and Advice
Posted
Super prayer pots are good for things like killing frost dragons or soloing arma or if you just want to camp somewhere turmoiling for a bit longer time.
About special restores, no really point to make them for boss crashes. Just get ingredients that you can put in your yak and make them when needed so they won't waste your active inventory space.
And truth is, if you do serious boss soloing and/or nex or Cb with small teams you can never have enough overloads. It'll be pure annoyance to make them once you are 99 already (unless you enjoy fast xp after that too..)
