Fightcaves... Alternative tactics

Featured Replies

Alright... First off... I have read the guide in AoW, and I love it to death. However, there are a few things I have to ask.

 

Gear

this is what mine looks like

 

full slayer helm

fury

armadyl top

verac skirt

snakeskin boots

accumulator

dragonfire shield

barrows gloves

 

ok.... I intend on using rune crossbow for the caves, but would it be in any kind of interest for me to bring a melée weapon for quicker kills in the lower waves? Also, the past few times I have tried (I always get to Jad) I used broad bolts. They are kind of junky and I was wondering if it would be wise to bring different bolts for Jad himself. My friend once told me that using darts on him is effective. Is this true? If it is, how might I go about that.

 

 

Inventory

previous inventories have looked like....

4 brews

4 super restores

3 ranged potions

17 prayer potions

 

Well... Would it be worth bringing the holy wrench instead of a prayer potion? Also how could I change this to make it more efficient? All suggestions are helpful.

 

Stats.... (bad I know)

73 ranged

71 prayer

89 hp

80 defense

96 att

84 str (if Att and str matter)

 

all and any suggestions or advice is appreciated.

Did you eagle eye the whole caves with that? because you have a lot of prayer potions there. You have a good setup. If you keep failing at Jad, you should consider the vengenace + claws combo. Let me see if I can find that video someone posted before.

holy wrench aint worth it, and at your lvls you should bring around 6-8 brews. speed in caves dont matter.

Unfortunately I do not have 94 Mage. I didn't use eagle eye. Since my ranged level is so low and I use poor quality bolts, it takes me longer to complete the higher waves.

When I died all of my previous times, I always had 2+ brews left over... I might consider 5-6 brews, but 8 is overkill.

in that case, you either need to heal more or leartn his attacks better. there are several guides on yt.

Broad bolts are not poor quality :). You ranged level is low, indeed, and you could whip some of the waves (not the 360's).

Dunno.

I use diamond the whole way through. I would say bring better bolts at least for Jad. By killing him quicker you are reducing the chance that you will mess up and die.

I'm 99% sure I killed Jad with a 2/10 crystal bow >.<

 

And yes, I brought a full, spare crystal bow for jad.

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

I've been bringing the EEE and it's all I used to heal up. It's definitely worth the spot.

Unfortunately I do not have an enchanted excalibur. Ok... So it looks like I need more brews and better bolts for Jad.

Would a crystal bow be something for me to consider using?

I've always used crystal bow.

 

I don't think I'd use darts or knives on Jad, cause they have pretty low range. If you attack the healers, you might run into melee range of Jad unprepared

Don't bother with a crystal bow, just take Diamond bolts for the latter waves, or whole way through if you can afford it, to make up for your low range level.
