Fight Caves

[OrAnoS_eVo]

What would be the best way to complete the fight caves? Most guides that I've read say range is the best but my range is only 71. Then i see soome guides saying rune crossbow or karils. Any inventory/ equipment suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

70 is enough, although the higher the better.

 

Crystal Bow is also good enough for the caves.

 

If you use Rune Xbow, I suggest using a normal or a Blessed Spirit Shield, good defence bonuses, prayer bonus and no ranged attack penalties.

 

For inventory you can swap for Enhanced Excalibur for free healing (or SGS is good too), another Crystal bow if you use it. 6 Brews, 6 Super restores, fill the rest with prayer potion. Also 1 prayer renewal is good for Jad.

Are you an experienced fight cave go'er?

You're 99 magic, I recommend maging the caves (unless you do the caves for levelling ranged which is a bad idea).

 

Use ganodermic armour and a polypore staff with a good ranged defence shield (granite is cheap) & prayer-boosting cape (Soul Wars, Ardougne 3/4) and otherwise maximize your magic offence (arcane stream necklace etc.).

 

Your prayer level is fairly low so if you have a bit of money to spend on that it will make things much easier, it's not neccesary though.

 

Bring 3 prayer renewals, Vecna's skull, some magic potions, enhanced Excalibur, some brews and the rest super restores.

Polypore staff and ganodermic armour makes the caves a joke. i'd recommend it over range to a maxed player, and certainly for someone with such a low range level, and 99 mage.

 

You'll need a form of healing as staying alive without using all your brews can be tricky in ganodermic. (You tank everything very well, except the pesky 90's) and your prayer is too low to bring extra brews, as you'll need the room for prayer restores. Soulsplit makes it rediculously easy to not touch a brew till jad. EEE is a great healer. SGS would be good. Sara bow would be better than nothing. Vampirism aura would help a ton. Purple sweets would be brilliant, but this is extremely expensive and should only be used as a last resort.

 

I personally use max mage offense, and kill the things that can damage me as fast as possible, minimising the damage i take. You may want to wear a little better range defensive armour to minimise the healing you need.

Thanks for all the advice. I am working on prayer right now with urns while doing slayer tasks. Also what spell should i use?

[chenw]

Polypore staff has its own built in spell, so don't worry about that. you dont even need to carry runes

Polystaff has it's own spell with 3k casts in it (Very similar to crystal bow, but no degrading in quality)

 

A really good idea i forgot to mention earlier would to be on ancients and bring some blood barrage runes. You could use this to heal when you get low lifepoints and use polystaff to do huge damage when you don't need healing. I personally use lunars and bring veng for jad, but blood spells will be a life saver for someone that doesn't have soulsplit, and veng isn't important at all. (I'd actually recommend bringing 3 extra brews instead of veng runes anyway)

 

Looking at your 80 dungeoneering, i'd recommend you to get an arcane stream necklace if you don't have one already. It only costs 30k tokens and it boosts your mage damage by a massive 15%. This will make the caves a lot easier, but it's definatley not needed.
