Preferred gear for Fight Kiln / Fight Caves / General Combat?

[Pirkka]

I have excess 20M I can use on my gear. This is pretty much the gear I use: Down low the melee gear (mostly in use), in the middle my ranged gear (Missing snakeskin boots, but yeah) and on top my mage gear.

 

 

I had to try the Brink of Extinction for over 20 times to get the boss down, even using overloads, turmoil and prayer renewal + super prayer pots + rocktails. I would love to get the better lava cape (and a second Fire cap for FashionScape), so I really need suggestions on how to get my gear to actually work. It seems that at least when maging I didn't really get any damage done during Brink or in Fight Caves.

 

My stats can be seen on my sig.

 

Oh yeah, and money is not really the issue. I can get tens of millions more if needed, but I still don't want to bend epic amounts on Nex gear if it's not worth my money.

It's not very useful to have t30 boots for ranging when t60 melee boots do the job just as well. Just invest in a single pair of good boots (dragon rider is good, or one of the GWD boots) and use that for all styles. Same deal for gloves. Only when pushing the limits it really matters what boots/gloves you use.

 

For BeO, did you pray melee and kill the rangers? If you did, you did something *really* weird to fail 20 times :o (or you lagged on the lava floor, that's a killer).

 

Anyway, depending on your patience, there are two options:

1) Wait for Jagex to fix obsidian armour and use that (easy Kiln, long wait).

2) Do the Kiln now.

 

If doing the Kiln now, obsidian is still a good choice, just not as good as it was when it was still t80, and not as good as it will be with damage reduction.

 

Bring powerful 2h weapons, for example maul/royal crossbow/cstaff, ice barrage and overload/turmoil naturally. That should make short work of all the monsters.

 

Dills will be a pain without the pre-nerf steel titan, pickaxe + dreadnips if possible.

Yak full of food would be the best I think, (champions) tacklebox filled with raw rocktail + bunyip w/ scrolls after that or a unicorn w/ scrolls. Sad thing is, unicorn scrolls cost adrenaline like food does, bunyip scrolls don't afaik.

Sorry to hijack this topic, but is it possible to mono-style the Fight Kiln, or is it really a requirement to use all three?

It's probably possible with dual drygore because of how accuracy works now, but unless you can manage that, it'll be much harder with only t80 one type.

Thanks for the reply.

Didn't lag on lava floors, and actually when I finally beat the boss (and many times when I almost won), I did nothing but attack the boss. Tried killing the rangers for like 10 of my trials just because the Tip.It quest guide told so, but it actually worked out better when I just mauled the big bad guy and let the small baddies hit me as much as they wanted. Had no problems with lava either, since I don't really have any lag (normal ping on servers is 58ms.)

Unless they updated the difficulty of the kiln recently, I did kiln without very much trouble at all. If you can reliably get through TokHaar-Jad without missing more than 1 prayer, then kiln should be relatively easy.

 

As Q said, Dills is going to hurt a lot, Dreadnips are definitely a good thing to have, failing that, Dragon Pickaxe. And remember, DO NOT use ANY prayers on Dill, or else you are going to get hurt, a LOT (his special hits straight through prayer and does it more often than not if you use it).

 

It was easy to the point where the only failures I had in the kiln post EoC was accidentally teleporting out of there (long story), otherwise I had no sweat. Didn't even need to pray most of the time (but this was pre-regenerate nerf, post you might need to SS every now and then, or else use crystals more often).

 

Oh, I'd probably use Black Salamander if you have it instead of C Bow, the mage guys (including the ket-zek) are all weak to bolts in Kiln. Ancients are pretty useful as well.
