Need Jad advice

[Rhonda]

 

Any advice on inventory and gear? Also, anyway to ensure a best chance of killing Jad? :lol:

 

I don't want to spend on buying more Barrows armor or hunt for someone to lend me d claws. The best range gear I have is black d hide and snakeskin boots, crystal bows or rune xbow with broad or diamond (e) bolts, barrows gloves and fury. I've got some overloads, extreme sets, Sara brews and super restores. I've read a few guides about Jad, but I think it's going to come down to finding out the routine on my own.

[essal]

Inventory:

 

10 saradomin brews (4)

1 extreme/normal ranging potion (4)

100 good, expensive bolts for Jad e.g. diamond bolts (e)

enhanced excalibur is useful

rest super restores

 

 

Equipment:

 

helm of Neitiznot/Verac's helm

rune crossbow and broad-tipped bolts

blessed spirit shield, dragonfire shield, unholy book, obsidian shield; any shield with prayer, ranged attack or defence stats

black dragonhide body, karil's top, armadyl chestplate

Verac's plateskirt, proselyte legs (lol) or armadyl platelegs

Ranger/snakeskin boots, not dragon boots

Barrows gloves

Archers' ring, explorer's ring, seers' ring; any ring giving prayer, ranged or magic (if magic, defence) stats

Ava's accumulator, of course

Amulet of fury, stole, glory

 

Dealing with Jad:

 

always keep an eye on his attacks as well as your prayer points - you don't want to run out of prayer

to recognize Jad's ranged attacks, I'd look at his movements (if ranged, he'd stomp).

for recognizing his magic attacks, I have sounds enabled and listen for a silent 'boomboom' sound, as when you hit him, it might look like he's attacking with magic.

 

another way of not mistaking his attacks is to keep magic prayer on and switch to ranged whenever he stomps, but then put it back to magic once the ranged attack hit you. :)

 

good luck!

I recommend getting the Karajama Gloves 4, as once a day you can resume where you died in fight caves. :)

 

As for gear and inven, etc, essal pretty much said it all.

One of the requirements for Karamja Gloves 4 is.... wait for it... wait for it... a fire cape.

 

:wall: :wall::wall:

[cowmaster187]

i also think that it is fight pits that you get resurrection for not fight caves

 

EDIT: NVM it is both.. fancy.

If you have to stats to finish Seer's Diary 4, do it now. The double healing really helps.

Waaay too many brews, I needed around 3 with no EE, and that heals 200 (or 400) per 5 mins. And 700 of that damage was from Jad as well.

What I used: Neit, fury, acp, v skirt, snake boots, explorer's 3, barrows gloves, sw cape, crystal bow, rcbow + 100 diamond for Jad (where I died). Let me look for a table I made earlier.

 

EDIT: Here it is:

[hide]

That depends on your luring skills, I suppose. The stats for some combinations:

 

• Armadyl skirt+ bss: +20 range atk, +85 range def, +4 prayer
  
• Verac's skirt + unholy book: +1/+84/+9
  
• Armadyl skirt +book: +28/+40/+6
  
• Verac's skirt + bss: -7/+136/+7
  
• Armadyl skirt + dfs: +15/+105/+1
  
• Verac's skirt + dfs: -12/+156/+4
  

Assuming magic and melee offense and defense are all but useless.

 

It should be noted that all fight cave monsters have low defense and high offense. It seems that Arma skirt + a good shield is best if you find you have quite enough prayer, such as the 9 prayer pots you had left.

 

A normal spirit shield loses +2 prayer and +7 ranged defence. Karil's instead of Armadyl loses +1 prayer and +3 range atk. Black hide instead of Armadyl loses +2 range defence, +3 range offense and +1 prayer.

 

Hope that answers the question, and good luck again!

I've done 3 attempts and died at the same place. When Ket-Zek and Tok-Xil spawn in the same waves, they like to spawn either together or spaced enough apart that I can't safe spot one without the other attacking. The best I've been able to do is deflect mage and kill the Tok-Xil first, then hide and heal.

You often won't be able to safe spot them. In fact, most of the damage, if any, done during the waves will likely be by the Tok-Xil as they have surprisingly accurate ranged attacks and during the second half of the caves you cannot protect from their attacks. Pretty much just tank them and take them out quick, with your 99 range and extreme range pots they should go down in 2-3 hits. An SGS, EE or EEE should be enough to heal the damage they deal without using any brews. Really you shouldn't have a problem with the waves because you can use soul split to heal when needed and carry super prayer potions which should be more then enough to get through the waves.

 

The safe spotting comes later when you cannot protect from both the 180 and 360 so you need to trap the 180 in a place where he can't melee you while you kill the 360.

[purekilljoy]

There's a really good guide in the AOW in the general guides section which is ofet overlooked. There's a great video there that sums up exactly how to go through the waves. - How and when to safespot etc. And yea, like said before, you can prob do it easily with like 6 brews and the rest either all restores or restores + pray pots. With my stats I get 6 brews, 7 restores and the rest pray pots. I have a laggy connection but i get to Jad every time - where I also die every time. :D

 

So, check out the video how and when to safespot. (if the 90's spawn with the 360's always eagle eye and take out the 90's first, you can even do it while running from 180's but you usually get them out in 2-4 hits, before the otherones get to you.)

At your stats, there should be no reason to fear the Tok-xils, unless you're wearing full magic gear.

Just wear range tank gear focusing more on range defense, and you should have almost no trouble with the rangers.

[Rhonda]

you can use soul split to heal when needed

 

:wall:

 

Did not think about using soul split.

 

Is it worth taking the Fally 3/4 shield (or wear it instead of Zammy book) for the prayer restores? Something else I noticed is drinking a super restore would bring my range level up to 120 after I'd been potted for a while. Is that a glitch or not?

 

I'm still figuring out the best balance of brews and super restores/super prayer pots, but getting this cape seems more of a pain than it's worth.

[Quyneax]

Don't wear the falador shield (that loses you +10 ranged attack for +2 prayer and a pityful amount of defence), but you can take it to restore some prayer, sure.

 

You may want to use void + deflector + black hide top, then rune crossbow with broads, using diamonds on Jad.

[muggiwhplar]

are you joking >_>

 

you could do it with an inventory of 8 prayer pots and 20 empty spaces and probably get to jad w/o any problems. don't worry about your setup, just master prayer switching before you risk 90 minutes of your free time getting to him.

[Rhonda]

I am making this more difficult than it should be because I haven't found the fire cape to be something I wanted. Boss fighting isn't anything I do cartwheels about. Other than the diary requirement, I don't see a point to having a fire cape even with the better stats. Anyway, I figure if I don't put my best effort into at least trying, I have no concrete reason to complain about not having the elite gloves.

 

Thanks for putting up with my n00b questions. :P
