TDS help

[DarkerFalz]

I've decided to go to TDS to try to make some cash. My stats are in the sig below, and I'll be getting 79 summoning before trying them.

 

For my TDS trip, I was thinking of taking this:

Head: Void range/melee helms

Body: Elite Void

Legs: Elite Void

Boots: Dragon (Snakeskin?)

Gloves: Barrows

Shield: Deflector

Ring: Life (Just in case, you know tongue.gif)

Cape Slot: Ava's accumulator (soulwars cape?)

Ammo: 1k broads

Ammy: Glory

Weapon: Rune c'bow/korasi's

 

Inv:

4 + tort of sharks (rocktails?)

House tab

Darklight

Other helm

Other weapon

Super attack/strength/reg range potions

Lantern

EE (for healing spec, yes or no?)

Titan Pouch

Titan scrolls

Rest prayer pots

 

Sound good?

[Quyneax]

Sound good, use snakeskin boots, maybe a little more food in your inventory and scratch the tort. Really banking time is so short, it's better to do faster kills (eating interrupts, of course).

 

Void is very risky on your first trip. Try black hide + neit and defender.

[gremmy]

You should really use d'hide on your first trip as Quyneax said - you already have to keep up with item switches, prayer switches and potting/eating/using familiar ability - a death with a grave with 8-10 hours of void in it would tip you off the edge.

For my TDS trip, I was thinking of taking this:

Head: Void range/melee helms - neitz - cheap and effective

Body: Elite Void - d'hide body - cheap, effective, gives ranged bonus and both melee and magic defence

Legs: Elite Void - see above

Boots: Dragon (Snakeskin?) - if you choose d'hides, wear dragon boots

Gloves: Barrows - best item possible

Shield: Deflector - rune/dragon defender, don't bother with a shield unless you've got divine or elysian

Ring: Life (Just in case, you know tongue.gif) - don't bother, it's a 2-3 minute trip if you die - bring berserker/warrior/archers or any imbued rings

Cape Slot: Ava's accumulator (soulwars cape?) - soul wars or fire cape

Ammo: 1k broads - good. Don't bother picking up, they're dirt cheap

Ammy: Glory - good, borrow a fury if you can

Weapon: Rune c'bow/korasi's - will work, but get a whip if you can

 

Inv:

4 + tort of sharks (rocktails?) don't need the tort if you bring titan as Quyneax said too, but it might be nice since you're new to tding. They can really surprise you.

House tab

Darklight

Other helm keep void in bank till you've got more experience

Other weapon do you mean spec weapon?

Super attack/strength/reg range potions

Lantern

EE (for healing spec, yes or no?) a very good spec weapon - alternatives are: claws, ags, sgs, d hally

Titan Pouch if you ditch tort, summon one in a bank, and bring an extra pouch

Titan scrolls

Rest prayer pots

 

Also, be sure to have an extra sapphire lantern in your bank for deaths, and have the best gravestone you can (4-5 minutes at least)

First of all, you should strongly consider getting 88 or 99 Summoning for future tormented demon-slaying. Onto equipment and items; your suggested equipment is fine, other than Ava's. I'd personally use either a fire or Soul Wars cape as most of the time, Ava's device doesn't even work, anyway. You could also use dragonhide and a dragon defender, alternatively. For bolts, you might want to upgrade to either runite bolts, diamond bolts (e) or ruby bolts (e) (if using these, be sure to bring two types of bolts for max efficiency). Don't use Korasi's as its special attack's damage dealt will be increased if located in a multi-combat zone, which it is. Instead, you could use an abyssal whip and a dragon halberd for special attacks. If you're bad at prayer switching or suffer from a lot of hits, you could bring an excalibur instead.

 

Check my adventurer's log (27th December). Claws. lol

[DarkerFalz]

Hmm, thanks guys. I've actually been there ~5 times before, but only averaging 2-3 kills per trip (once I got 4!). So, I'll try using d'hide, and then maybe trying void later. Someone told me that ks was better than a whip at tds, so that's why I put that. I'll try both ways though.

 

I'm hoping that tds will get me cash for 96 magic, and I only have charms for 79 summ, so thats why I'll take a Titan.

 

Also, which Titan would be better? I heard that the ice one lasts the longest, is that true?

[Aiel]

they're all the same, except for the combat style the use (fire=mage, ice=melee, moss=melee)

Ash, ok, thanks. After I get 79 summ, should I blow all my blue charms on fire titans, or save for geysers?

[Quyneax]

Geysers are more expensive xp, and I'd say you want that higher summoning level sooner so you can use your crims on swamp titans.

[DarkerFalz]

I have a problem. I only got 1 kill my last trip, and I don't know what I did wrong. I took the d'hide setup, and a tort full of sharks, and I still died really fast. 14 p pots, super pots, everything. I summoned my Titan, and it didn't help at all. Sure I got healed a total of 320, but I got hit for about 10 times that. What's my problem?

Proper prayer switching is crucial and takes priority over all other things (Protect Prayer switch > Eating > Weapon switch > Pots > Dmg boost prayer). My bet is that you haven't mastered it yet.

[DarkerFalz]

Well, I was prayer switching then changing weapons. They seem to consistently either gang up on me when I'm luring them, or hit over 200 when they change attacks.

Which spot are you using?

[DarkerFalz]

The one in green on this map:

Not a problem with which spot you're using then....are you making sure to lure the other two that can reach you? If you do you should never be ganged up on.

[DarkerFalz]

That's the problem. I try to lure them, but they decide to be stubborn and get stuck, while I'm getting pounded by both range and mage attacks from both/all 3.

[manitstinks]

You should just go down there with nothing in invy or equiped. Learn to prayer switch. As soon as the aforementioned "stubborn and get stuck" occurs, take a screeny and post so we can help.

[Smapla]

which side of that rock, in that picture, are you killing them on?

[DarkerFalz]

Right where the green is, on the east side. I lure the one that I think spawns there, near the pillar, but it's another one, so I get hit a ton. That's when the one doesn't follow me and gets stuck.

 

Next time I go and try them again, I'll post a pic of them getting stuck. Also, I know how to prayer switch, it's just that they hit 200+ each time they switch attacks, even when I switch to the correct prayer.
