Tyler93 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hey everyone, I'm just looking to start Nex and wondering if theres any guides around and what kind of gear/supplies I'll need. I've done every boss besides Nex and really want to get into it. Also curious if finding a team will be possible with my stats. Stats: 99/99/95 Melees, 89 Ranged, 94 Magic, 95 Prayer (With Curses), 87 Summoning (Will be 88 soon) and 75 Herblore (Working on getting extremes but may still be a little). Also wondering how I can gather fast charms, I normally would Slay for them however I'm 270k from 88 Summoning so would really just like to get them as fast as possible. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks! Original Account: Tylersk8shop (Joined: August 2006)99 Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints and Woodcutting.

Main thing holding you back here is the lack of overloads and potentially not 90+ range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ignore this derphead. The lack of extremes/ovls might be a problem, you'll have to find someone to take you with that knowledge, as people will be like "omfg no overloads ur so bad, [bleep] off" like a certain someone... As long as you have void and chaotic maul, you should be able to find a team. The alternative to void with drygore is void & cmaul + royal cbow.Don't know why you /need/ torva.. it get's out dps'd by void all day everyday. Torva is only needed for Nex soloing. | | | A Blog to Bathtubs for BeginnersQuest Cape | 99 Defence Achieved 11-Jul-2011 17:41 | 99 Prayer 11-Jul-2012 | 99 Constitution 02-Aug-201299 Attack 31/10/2012 | 99 Dungeoneering 31/10/2012 | 99 Strength 31/10/2012 | 99 Magic 2/12/201299 Range 16/12/2012 | 99 Herblore 25/12/2012 | 99 Summoning 4/1/2013 | 99 Firemaking 6/3/201399 Farming 10/4/2013 | 99 Slayer 11/7/2013 | 99 Fletching 21/8/2013 | 99 Smithing 22/8/2013 99 Crafting 19/12/2013 | 99 Cooking 15/1/2014 | 99 Agility 25/1/2014 | 99 Thieving 01/02/201499 Construction 21/04/2014 | 99 Woodcutting 04/03/2014 | 99 Fishing 17/04/2014 | 99 Mining 23/07/201599 Divination 27/07/2015 | 99 Runecrafting 20/08/2015 | 99 Hunter 20/08/2015 | Maxed 20/08/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 For fast charms you can try waterfiends (ranged) or dagannoths in the first room at Waterbirth, with the upgraded Balmung. @MotherBrain: 99 combats aren't so useful at all, the things that matter are equipment, abilities, turm/ovl, bunyip+tacklebox/uni/yak/titan and skill. The difference between 80 and 99 strength on drygores is not quite 2% dps, and even less on mauls.

I'd assume someone with stats like mine would be okay?

I was thinking more in terms of being able to help out my clan members in terms of who could come with and learn.

Quyneax Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 What I would consider the minimum is tier 80 weapons (royal & maul) with void. Tanks need much better defensive gear, so arcane + gano for cheap & only requiring level 75 def (arc is only 30m now, that's comparable to GWD top+legs). Then you want all your useful dps abilities, like assault, rapid fire etc. but those are all unlocked by having 80 att/range and a few strength levels. Similarly, all tank abilities are unlocked by the time you're 75 def anyway. You want dps boosting prayers and potions, so ideally ovl/turm, but piety/rigour and supers would work. I'd still recommend extremes though. Finally, to carry some more supplies, a war tortoise. Now I'm not saying you'll get fast kills or high gp/h, but it *should* be doable with enough people. This is obviously not a duo-based set of requirements, bring a bunch of friends. 1 Supporter of Zaros | Quest Cape owner since 22 may 2010 | No skills below 99 | Total level 2595 | Completionist Cape owner since 17th June 2013 | Suggestions 99 summoning (18th June 2011, previously untrimmed) | 99 farming (14th July 2011) | 99 prayer (8th September 2011) | 99 constitution (10th September 2011) | 99 dungeoneering (15th November 2011) 99 ranged (28th November 2011) | 99 attack, 99 defence, 99 strength (11th December 2011) | 99 slayer (18th December 2011) | 99 magic (22nd December 2011) | 99 construction (16th March 2012) 99 herblore (22nd March 2012) | 99 firemaking (26th March 2012) | 99 cooking (2nd July 2012) | 99 runecrafting (12th March 2012) | 99 crafting (26th August 2012) | 99 agility (19th November 2012) 99 woodcutting (22nd November 2012) | 99 fletching (31st December 2012) | 99 thieving (3rd January 2013) | 99 hunter (11th January 2013) | 99 mining (21st January 2013) | 99 fishing (21st January 2013) 99 smithing (21st January 2013) | 120 dungeoneering (17th June 2013) | 99 divination (24th November 2013) Tormented demon drops: twenty effigies, nine pairs of claws, two dragon armour slices and one elite clue | Dagannoth king drops: two dragon hatchets, two elite clues, one archer ring and one warrior ring Glacor drops: four pairs of ragefire boots, one pair of steadfast boots, six effigies, two hundred lots of Armadyl shards, three elite clues | Nex split: Torva boots | Kalphite King split: off-hand drygore mace 30/30 Shattered Heart statues completed | 16/16 Court Cases completed | 25/25 Choc Chimp Ices delivered | 500/500 Vyrewatch burned | 584/584 tasks completed | 4000/4000 chompies hunted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallstar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 You'll get laughed out of most teams without drygores, overloads, turm etc. That said, it's perfectly possible to 4-6 man it in void and a royal crossbow, and still get half decent gp/hr. Also, killing Nex is pretty decent blues and crims. So if you can get a team that's OK with using cheaper equipment, it should be NP. Just follow what other people are doing on each phase until you get the hang of it. The one big thing to know is to use berserk and a maul if you don't have drygores on the blood phase, not doing so usually gets you kicked. Good luck I guess.
