I agree the more people, the harder it is, my usual team i sized from 5-8, and its just right for us :}

Alot doesnt describe it enough ^.^ A word is yet to be invented mwahahahaa

After 4 hours straight KK, i had to concede (had been a few hours earlier to) Thanks to all who showed up, and Ty Meredith for hosting :}

Will be along asap, some IRL issues cropped up.

wish granted, but as it got older, it decided to eat you, nom nom nom I wish i wish i had millions of other wishs

*slaps sir_squab for a long post*

Banned for being a cold darwinist , cos i said so nyah nyah

Looking forward to this i must say, i do enjoy a KK or 2 ;)

Royal cbow is very good, and hits hard even in melee stage, but there will be people maging that phase anyways. I think you're ok =p (tis all up to Hedgehog though ^.^)

If you can get a shield (ward, crystal) and a wand (grifolic wand +) you should be ok. You will definatly need your defensive abilities here. Keep your eyes on the king and team mates as much as possible, and keep your eyes on the wings for the changes (as shown in the original post) and pray accordingly, and most of all, try not to panic when you go. Be vocal to your teammates, eg, if you turn green, be sure to shout "holy kalphite, hes guna ko me" or something along te lines of. and one of us will get him off you and save your life :D EDIT: Got our 4th drygore drop today, Offhand longsword, came to me via LS though, so great fun my lsp >.<. So far my usual team has had 1 MH mace, 1 OH mace, 1 OH rapier, 1 OH longsword (MH = Mainhand, OH = Off-Hand)

Most you can have per team is 20 (Jagex rule), so it may have to be several teams dependant on turnout, though i suspect quite a few will show up :D

If you cant use iron / steel titans, then it would be best to keep yourself safe. Dont take a B.O.B, as you will lose more supplies than needed. A healing familiar will be OK. That being said, if feeling slightly reckless, then feel free to bring the highest level combat familiar and scrolls you can.

In larger teams, you could get away with lower stats. Just be able to wear gano, or as you asked, ahrims, and be able to cast bloodfire blitz. Im not guna lie, there will be a fw deaths, everyone dies a few times, but you will get the hang of it, learn the kings behavior, and what to expect. Come along this saturday (19th) to Hedgehogs KK event, as this will be an excellent time to learn it :D

Racked up alot of kills, so will be good fun for me. Dont fret if you die, very easy to get back and loot, but its great fun also. :D

Imma edit some more from what iv found with barrages, switch it to bloodfire blitzz instead, as hitting the minions in mage phase causes more mage balls to come out.That in mind, any Damage over area abilities should be off limit to. So no chain, dragonfire breath, ricochet etc etc I imagine ahrims will be fine. as people do go i void and survive. If ya ry iot and succeed, plz let us know :D and id not go by combat level, but rather stats. Id say 90+ defence, and 90+ magic (would make 182)

The stuns / barrages to freeze have now been patched =[ but its still much the same as before I also heard drygore weapons ar op on te king. Havnt had a chance to test this, will when i get a drop for myself >:D

Iv done some GWD since yesterday, along with KK and qbd. Iv not noticed aything differend in gwd, at all, so i dont think any bfs happened there. QBD only siphons more hp off souls, and souls can now be 2 hit. So not really a buff again imo. Nex is same as before, im yet to find anything diffrent. Atm, im just hyped up on KK, all good fun :D 1 offhand rapier 2 ofhand maces 1 rapier shame its not more, team got it when street crashed from max cash to 40m >.<

Hi, so, as we all know, Kalphite king was released, which was highly exciting. Alot of deaths upon release, but via trial and error, we have learnt and found some methods to work, and have some successfull kills. So, first of all, lets talk gear, and familiars. We currently use in a team of 5, ganodermic armour, ragefire boots, master wands, arcane stream, onyx ring (i) /seers ring, god cape / skill cape and magic shields (FSK, spectral, arcane). We also are casting Blood barage, as not only does this help you heal (due to the spawned minions} but also seems effective. For familiars, we all gave up with unis and yaks. A one hit can make your yak rendered pointless, and loss of food due to dying, and unis dont heal that much compared to the damage you end up getting, which is impossible to avoid. So, iron titan / steel titan seem the way forward. They hit hard and frequent, steel more so due to its 3 attack styles. Invent, we have runes for blood barrage, a tele tab, scrolls for familiar, 1 ovl flask, 1 renewal, 1 restore, 1 sanfew, and rest rocktails. The tab is for A: quick escape, and B: for when the kill is done. (When you kill the king, it is easier to claim loot then tab out, due to the amount of spawned minions. THERE WILL BE ALOT OF THEM!) When you click the hole for his lair, you get several options. You can start a team, or join an existing one, provided you have the host name, and the key to get in (the key is a code ranging from 0-999,999) When we go into the lair, turn on torment and protect melee, and as soon as he rises from the ground, all pot up, and start attacking him. Watch his wings, as they willl show you what attack style he is using, and in effect, what to pray against. Yellow / orange wings = Protect melee. Green wings = protect range. Blue wings = protect mage. We shall go though the different styles now. Each phase is dangerouse in all forms, as kk can use ultimates on you, which if not prepared for, can ko you fairly fast. Melee phase, he can rear up, glow, then charge, meaning all people directly in from of him, will be shoved back, hit for roughly 2k lp, and stunned. He can also rear up, and glow green, and spit a ball of gloop at someone, turning them green. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURING THE SURVIVAL OF YOUR TEAM. When one of your team mates goes green (either they will shout in public or fc) Spam provoke, and instantly use either resonance / barricade / immortaltiy. This will stop your friend getting 1 HIT KILLED, and can make sure you dont die either. If minions are about, try to avoid the resonance, because if a minion hits you as soon as you provoked and resonanced. You will be 1 hit KO instead. He will occasionally run to the sides, and eat dead minions (he may also eat some marauders that have spawned, try to keep tagging him to prevent this). Stun abilities / ice barrage, will stop this. When he digs undergound, try not to be under him when he resurfaces, as you will be hit for 2k lp upwards. Green wings, range phase, is one of the easiest also. This time, he spams range ultimate abilities though. Just keep the eyes out for the green one hit kos, and eat up, keep spamming titans, and keep piling the pressure on him. My personal most hated phase, the blue wings, mage. His balls of mage, hit hard, stun, and can ko an unwary player very fast. Blue balls, when they land, are instant hits of 1k+, with the chance to stun also, and the orange + blue balls, wil rise from the ground, and if you are still in proximity of them, will hit you hard (one can hit from 1-2k lp damage, and a cluster of them will kill you). Best thing to do this phase, is hit and run, hit and run. Eventually he will switch back to a different attack method. Be warned though, this isnt all. He will sometimes glow a giant bubble around him, and for a period of 5-10 seconds, any incoming hits on him, will heal instead of damage. Much in the same way as the blood phase on nex. With that in mind, keep piling pressure on, and you will eventually get the hang of it. Dont be annoyed with deaths, as it takes a while to get used to, and practice does definatly make perfect. The rewards can be great, and well worth the time and effort spent there. Hope this helps some people,and god luck on some of that Drygore loot ;)

I ranged my first time, and used rejuvinate as often as i could. When it comes to fire walls, you can tank them and take no damage, but this takes a bit of practice. A firewall moves at 1 square per game tick, where as a character runs 2 squares per game tick. So, if you time it right, you can run through one of these walls, and essentially, take no damage at all. With the Worms, i wiped them out as fast as i could (rapid fire does this effectivly) And with the souls, the cloud luring is practice again. I waited on the block next to them, til i seen the words forming, then i ran through the soul, hitting them with thier own cloud then would finish of in a quick shot or 2. This does get harder in the later phases, but once again, practice on this, makes perfect. Make sure your anti fires dont run out, keep a safe distance from qbd (stay behind the first artifact) and try to stay away from the edges of the fight zone (where the water is on the curve) as hugging the curves causes the souls to spawn at random locations, rather than next to you. Also try to avoid standing on the platforms (where the other artifacts are) for prolonged periods, as they will hit you for 1500 lp occasionally. When it came to the 4th phase, i made absolutley sure, i always had a reserve threshold for rapid fire available (the time stop soul can be highly annoying) WIPE THIS OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Albeit from all that, and what others have said, you should be ok :} Best of luck, and heres to hoping on a royal crossbow for you *fingers are crossed*

On a side note, ward of subjugation alch value is 28k.....Useless fact there ;)

All in all a good event i think ^.^ Ty for all that came along, and thanks Komodo for hosting this :D

See ya there fellow hunters!

Best of luck all \o/

I didnt think of attacking the minions, i just went for hok. I used bandos with bandos godsword, and tanked te lot. Mae it alot harder for myself, asi learnt after that atacking minions make it easier (my logic clearly failed me that day) I didnt bother with dreadnips, as they are not supposed to be able to be used on quest bosses, might have been a bug. Took me about 8 trys, but all i can say is be persistant.
