The bosses with the lowest requirements (that are still worth doing once you're maxed) are tormented demons, Dagannoth kings and glacors but they also require a few specific high levels and quests (for tds that is 88 summoning/unicorn + While Guthix Sleeps, for dks that is 96 herblore/overloads, for glacors that is 92 prayer/soul split and 95 magic/fire surge + Ritual of the Mahjarrat). The reason these have fewer requirements is that they are less competetive and they deal a lot less damage if you're aware of the strategies. Your main issue with God Wars, Nex and corporeal beast is that they are for a large part slugfests: you and the boss just try to hit as hard as possible while taking as little damage as possible. You can't quite carry enough healing or kill them fast enough to solo these for money (yet), but team boss hunting isn't very profitable either compared to solo. There are a few major upgrades: 88 summoning: the unicorn will allow you to heal without interrupting combat or lowering your combat stats with Saradomin brews. 85-96 herblore: extremes and overloads will increase your effective strength and overloads will also allow you to use brews with relative impunity. 92-95 prayer: soul split and turmoil will allow you to heal and deal greater melee damage. Soul split alone is only worth it for maging really. 80+ dungeoneering: chaotic melee weapons are a massive upgrade to your damage output. The rapier, maul, crossbow and staff are used in tds, dks, god wars, Nex and glacors. Cls is also used but mainly for GWD Bandos tanks. Of these upgrades, only dungeoneering does not require a large up-front investment, but it requires time of course. Summoning is fairly cheap compared to prayer and herblore as well. Prayer and herblore are major cash sinks. If you want to start bossing right now, without any upgrades, I'd recommend solo maging Rex, because you shouldn't be under attack from things over ~100 combat if done well, but also exposes you to level 300+ monsters (plural) and good loot. The only thing the kings sadly do not drop are effigies and charms. You can use gear like the following: Verac's brassard Verac's plateskirt Infinity boots Polypore staff Blessed spirit shield Neitiznot helm Barrows gloves Amulet of fury (you don't have 70 dungeoneering and this is a setup for your current stats, but an arcane stream necklace would help a lot) Soul Wars cape > Ardougne cloak 4 > 3 > 2 Ring of wealth In your inventory you'd bring a combination of Vecna's skull and magic potions to boost your damage output, along with prayer potions, super restores, antipoison++s and a few Saradomin brews. Enhanced Excalibur is a great special weapon if you have it, too. The idea of solo maging is that you kill only the melee dagannoth king, Rex. He drops the most valuable loot and is extremely vulnerable to magic. Prime and Supreme, being mage and ranger respectively, use attacks with range so they can attack you even as you attack them (and at the same time, which strains your healing most of all), but Rex melees, so you only have to safespot him. As it happens it's possible to attack, lure and safespot him without drawing the attention of Prime or Supreme. You do however need to sneak into the lair past Prime and Supreme, for which you will need a hybrid or suicider. Running a bit long here, try reading this or the official Tip.It guide to Waterbirth Island for more info. Good luck :).

Arcane is better, steads are better, ragefires are (slightly) better or equal, Virtus is better, farseer helmet might be a little better (it's the only mage-boosting hat that can also hold steel of legends scrolls). All in all, you're pretty much at the peak of tding, every other upgrade is just a minor equipment boost.

Welcome to the forums hlfreek :). The topic is about 7 months old, it's quite alright to make a new topic if the search function only returns topics this old, but thanks for using it :). I've had the same problem actually, years ago. In the end I found Ana in a barrel at the surface end of the elevator, apparently I just missed one. If searching each barrel doesn't get you anywhere, I don't know.

You should do about half your floors c1/c2, but it depends on level and the standard (which is 1-29 c1/c2 and 30+ large). For example at level ~70 you can start doing the standard pattern, giving you 5 larges to 29 c1s.

A Jad fighting another Jad would be fun, it's like two one defence pures but with healers.

You should get 15 Jad pets. Y.

Slayer helmet every time. There isn't a single thing you should be using any helmet other than the full slayer helmet on when it is assigned as task. Unless you're 70 attack and it's Dharokable and you can't afford strength-boosting chest+legs or it's undead. But that doesn't apply to you.

Anybody could, ask in "Fast Effigy" friends chat or HYT friends chat or something. If that's your main problem with getting a fire cape you're not very concerned with Jad :P.

Turmoil before gear always. Buy tassets before bcp since you have torso. You're mainly unlucky with effigies, but be sure you're using a good task list. Triple charms (Familiarization reward) helps a ton in levelling summoning. If you haven't done Jad before I strongly recommend magic. With full ganodermic + either pps or Storm of Armadyl, you will be hit only by the 90s (who die in 1-2 hits anyway). Jad himself will have a tough time killing you as you'll have a neat 45-50% mage soak, enough to take his 990 max down to about 550.

Got 98 herblore and won 3 Soul Wars games. The game is much nicer when you're winning. Polypore is strong and common atm, very good with any spellbook (either group veng or barrage is best of course).

He uses a W.C. Fields quote XD. W.C. What? Old actor/comedian & alcoholic.

Full editor option on your first post. I second Zaryte being useless, just go with ccbow + runite bolts or handcannon. Nevertheless, good luck to you :).

That's different :P. It could be easier to kite with etc. and the lower number of switches makes it less prone to mistakes.

Rather liked the snow emitter puzzle. The other puzzles were fun too, but not as think-y.

Commons increase xp rates actually ;). Congratulations on the levels :).

Not really, as pps is slower and glacytes have 0 def against everything. But pps doesn't require as many switches.

Great charms, effigies, decent xp (well ok, only 32k/hr at the current off-task rates, ignoring dreadnips) and break-even... skip? Just because you don't get melee xp (except a little defence) doesn't mean they are a bad task.

You can get the achievement by boosting your fishing level with an admiral's pie. If you want the fastest fishing xp, it's either c2 fishing or barbarian with alchs/dropping/cutting.

Congratulations, very great achievement :thumbsup:. Will you be farming the seeds as well?

??? Congratulations :). Don't try stewing for an adze, it doesn't work anyway :(.

Air runes can be usable, however at higher levels you make more high runes and less low ones. This means you usually end up just about breaking even on fires, but you end up losing on airs. Eg Using airs you'll be down like 17 or so air runes per run, where as fires you'll only be down 2 or 3 per run from starting amounts. You're not making any sense here. The teleport you use doesn't matter at all to which runes you craft. Fires are more expensive than airs and airs are needed for NPC contact to cast pouch repair. Use air runes.

I got 5-6 kills in one overload dose generally, except when you're focusing on getting specific bosses of course. Dreadnips were absolutely fantastic for tds as they would hit through prayers and not affect the demon's prayer as well, but they now trigger protect from melee, so they aren't really worth it anymore. For GWD I suppose it would function as a bit of anticrash, but as Powerfrog said chances are they only get a few hits in at the time - the stun and poison attacks are virtually useless, and the attack speed is very slow (8 ticks or so). For glacors, dreadnips can hit the glacor even during the glacyte stage iirc, but deploying them could disrupt your csb five-hit-streak. They also don't get the high dps that fire surge does, so the difference isn't huge. Glacytes die to quickly for dreadnips to have any effect.

You can use the +10 citadel boost to open agility effigies, so you need 81 to start, up to 87 for all stages. The flash powder factory is the best xp starting at 75 and probably going up to 99, unless you use a penance horn, in which case the advanced courses are about equal. You will 'need' to do the laps for agile gear, so if you get bored of the factory you can do some of that (ideally with penance) to mix it up.

The pvp weapons with special attacks lose 1 charge out of the 60 they have every minute they are equipped (possibly only in combat, not sure), rounded up (so at least 1 minute). The corrupt versions without special attacks lose 1 charge out of the 2000 they have every tick in combat, but if you flash them perfectly they will not degrade. At corp this means you can use Vesta's spear for free, although you do lose the ability to ss flash.
