I already mention this in the info about the fight. Well I read this and assumed you didn't know, you might want to remove it.

After he summons 3 clones, the last Nomad to attack will be the real one. Saves you some time as you can continue fighting immediately.

I personally got 180/h while on a slayer task, so yeah it does seem like an exaggeration. I might try again with steel titan when I have another wfiend task though, see if that works.

Isnt that a really expensive setup? And tbh where does ur loot go for the first 5 chests go? I just use Veracs and monks and do a trip every 7-10Mins afking the stuff costs me around 3k a trip with pots... Idk how expensive it is really, if you factor in herb xp etc it costs about 18k/run in pots and 28k in runes. No idea what other methods cost, but since I want mage xp that would be another reason to choose this over verac. Besides, surge hits about as high as verac but with near 100% accuracy. Loot from first run goes where the overload (1) is, bolt racks can be equipped and if I get both chaos and mind runes I just eat a pizza. A 12 chest run is a little more practical though, don't have to waste a space on a (1) potion and since 6 brews is too many anyway (5 is enough) you then have 4 spaces for pizzas (5 if you bring 1 less spec restore, they aren't really needed).

It's not luck based. You can't lose if you have a yak and do everything right, because you have space for such a sheer amount of food. I did it with sharks + 8 brews and still had some brews leftover at the end, imagine all brews in yak/inv. And I wouldn't even claim I'm good at combat/timing brew doses etc.

Found a pretty much perfect setup for me, reqs will be kinda out of reach for most people but if you got the stats for overload etc your should try it :P Works with normal spirit shield too. 13 chests at just over 6 mins/chest, exactly 6 mins if you don't count getting to barrows. Only problem is having to tank dharok if you get him as your chest brother, since sipping a dose of prayer potion means you can do 1 run less. Also, could probably do with 1 less brew. Sorry for the bump lol.

34 +5 on herblore? Doesn't matter what skill gets +5, every stat has equal chance of getting the boost I know. It's alot more rarer than 1/16 if it's not 34 +5 on herblore. That's the way I see it :s Ah yeah those were all on herblore, idk how many other +5's I got.

I got 34 +5 boosts from 550 stews, so I'd say around 1/16-1/20.

Naah I got enough stews to make about 350 (4) overloads so that should be enough since I have like 140 banked already, and besides I can't even afford the torstol atm lol

Grats draggle!

Oh thanks for the posts everyone. Yeah I should've known I would fail with the farm cape paul :P Aand idk ace I don't really got anything to rebuild since I basically didn't sell anything, it only ruined my cash pile lol. Slightly annoyed by the fact I can't buy enough cballs to slay with now but barrowing for a while or something should fix that.

Yeah don't try to get a +6 boost, I tried to boost to 91 from 85 for that diary and went 550 stews without a +6. I did get around 34 +5 boosts in the process. Get 86.

Nomad seems like a good boss to me. Minimum requirements are probably like 78 combats (for pvp gear, probably possible without but you have to get lucky) and 70 pray/66 summoning, pretty grandmaster-worthy requirements if you ask me. Anyone under that has to train, and anyone who has either overloads/yak/soul split+turmoil/spirit shield (or all of those) will probably find Nomad a pushover. For everyone in between, Nomad will be a fun and challenging boss fight, maybe wasting quite some supplies in the process but I guess finally beating him after a few tries gives some satisfaction.

That cape is much better than a fire cape in many situations, including just about every situation where you need to protect pray constantly, or even if you're using piety/turmoil constantly. how so, hitting higher is more efficient than using 7 ppots rather than 9, xp > cost so by saying sw cape is better your valuing a few k on ppots over speed of combat +4 Str is what, +1 to your max hit? How is a chance to hit 1 higher more efficient than a 33% slower prayer drain? theres things called prayer potions, you drink them, +1-2 dmg is better I guess you're right, you use about 1.5 ppots/hour more if you use turmoil/berserker and wear fire cape instead of the new cape, about 20k cost/hour to get maybe 5k extra xp/hour? The same would go for bandos/proselyte though, should we start doing prayer tasks etc in full bandos? Also, prayer drain rate isn't linear with prayer bonus. 10 prayer bonus makes you use pray 75% slower, 30 pray bonus is 50%. You can get +9 pray and +10 strength by wearing standard slayer outfit with fire cape/bandos top/bottom, and +29 prayer bonus in pros top/v skirt/blue cape. Let's round that to 10/30 for easier calculating, and assume you use berserker+turmoil/piety. It would mean you use 50% more prayer to get +10 strength. +10 strength means +2.5 every hit or something like that, say you hit 1k times per hour. That would be 10k xp extra from the strength bonus. You use 1k prayer points per hour in +30 prayer bonus, and 1500 per hour in +10. That's about 4 ppots or 50k extra cost. It's more like 7 ppots per hour more if you pray melee too, so in that case proselyte would be better. That seems worth it, though I'm not sure if +10 str really gets you 10k more xp per hour.

Oh yeah, it would probably be a pretty good idea to bring an unicorn pouch + scrolls to use after tort/yak is empty.

How are you even having trouble with those stats? :o I really fail at anything boss-related so I basically spam clicked sharks/brews whenever he hit me and still had quite some sups left at the end :unsure: its about timing and getting the inventory just right...i think 25 sara brews and 10-12 restores plenty. i range using diamond (e) and just sip sip sip sara sip restore. all the people complaining here and on rs forums on the difficulty of the boss fight forget why we find quests so enjoyable - the challenge. ive probably spent and lost a few million on the quest...and the reward wont mean much to me...but oh the challenge...it means far more than xp or item rewards. i would be happy if there were no reward at all! You could try bringing more food, I brought 6 rests 14 brews 8 rocktails and rest sharks, and the fight only got hard after I had run out of actual food and only had brews left. Normal food seems to work pretty well really, and especially with yak you should be able to bring enough of it.

Yeah, now this basically is the "end game" cape because you can/should use prayer basically anywhere, and not wearing it is a little like wearing bandos top/tassets instead of proselyte while praying (not as extreme but you get the point).

For people still struggling with the quest, zs on stab really does work pretty well. Dodge the 75 hit by standing behind a pillar, saves you quite some food. If you got a large bob, try to have some sharks/rocktails left to use during the last phase. Brews barely keep up when he goes berserk, so you dont'want to be stuck with just brews when he does that :P. I found sharks way more useful to heal during the normal fight too, bring some to use in conjunction with brews.

What a terrible goal. Grats on 99 cooking must have been really hard. :thumbup:

Thaaaaanks guys. And wouter gtfo my thread with the flaming and leave the poor guy alone, you mean, sadistic bastard.

Probably, if you're going to brew anyway it would be easier to use those. Only problem might be if you don't manage to kill him within 5 minutes and have to take another dose.

So what exactly does nomad do? Uses all combat styles and hits really high with them like jad but fast?

You can do even faster if you use mouse keys for making the pouches/banking, I got a little over 3k charms/hour while getting 99. Still a pretty good guide, even though I haven't used it in a while it really helped me at lower levels, thanks!

Oh, 3 99's too? Awesome :thumbup:
