QBD Help without Super Antifires?

[starclimber]

Hi all, recently got back in the swing of things earlier this year but I've pretty much got all the basics down. I've tried 3 attempts and all have failed thus far to brandish my royal crossbow.

 

My gear:

Subjugation top

Subjugation bottom

Subjugation helm

Ahrims wand

DFS(magic)

Gano gloves

Gano boots

Seers' ring

Amulet of fury

 

Inventory:

Sharks(have also tried with rocktails)

Super magic potion

Prayer potion(x2)

Prayer renewal

Antifire potion

War tort filled with sharks

 

Stats:

95 hp

91 def

99 Mage

69 prayer

(88 range, 90 attack, 99 str)

 

My problem has been does which is leading to me consuming food because its taking me so long to get through phases.

 

Praying range protect only as I've read that Mage prayers are bugged? Also using all basics + asphyxiate and the other threshold(name eludes me ATM).

 

I've only allowed 1-2 grots to spawn before touching artifact and dodge/take 1-2 hits from most fire walls. I just can't seem to do enough damage :/.

 

Any help at all would be much appreciated. I have a 80M Cash pile to work with. Maybe 100M if I push it.

Upgrade your weapon, that means either chaotic or drygore melee weapon, or chaotic crossbow. Sadly there is no way to increase your dps otherwise.

 

I think main hand drygores are in the 70-80m range now, which means you should get one ASAP! They are very useful for a lot of things.

A tier 75+ weapon is pretty much required. Also, you can get away with using a 2h weapon and just a standard antifire, so maybe try zaryte?

 

However you'll have to dodge the fire walls a lot more, since they hit around 1.8k a time with standard antifires and no shield.

That would leave me unable to buy better armor or I would. Maybe just money making for now is better. I currently have 130K tokens, would a CCB and DFS be enough you think?

I wasn't sure if antifires were for just walls, does that mean if I dodge walls enough or minimize damage taken from them then I shouldn't bother with a shield? If so, I do have a chaotic maul that I've yet to use..

Well, the other dragonfire attacks will hit more with a standard antifire or no shield, but none really hit more than 2k a time.

 

Give it a shot with melee (chaotic maul), but obviously when you get the message for the fire walls make sure to back off a bit :P

I wasn't sure if it was at all feasible without a shield. However I guess I'll give it a shot. My dps with melee far outweighs my magic dps, so I guess it's worth a shot.

You don't need better armour with drygore. Void will do. Drygores are the staple weapon of all monster hunting (except Zilyana and Kree, but okay). Once you get one, you will never want to go back to lower tier equipment.

 

In my experience, drygores make QBD very, very easy. I used Zaryte and a mix of t85 and t70 defence before I used drygores, and my kills went from 5 minutes to 2 minutes easy once I upgraded, plus they got easier. You don't even need to watch any specials, though it helps to avoid the super fire. Drygore + dfs won't do quite as much damage as maul, but you'll take a lot less damage from fire walls, to the point that you can ignore them. Plus that Revenge is a very powerful ability if you have several worms on you.

 

GE med price for drygore rapier is ~73m.

Thank you very much! I do have full melee void(not elite though, are the armor bonuses very different?). I will buy a rapier and use it with a DFS. Hopefully all goes well :).

Void elite is same as standard except for elite having small prayer and summoning defence bonus.

You Have 80 Mil Cash. Why Not Just Buy The Herblore Levels For Super Antifires? (My Phone Automatically Capitalizes Every Word. Sorry)

[starclimber]

Thanks quest.

 

@tieszen then I'd be broke ;x

 

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your help. I went in full void+drygore rapier and successfully brandished it a few hours ago. Messed up a lot for some reason. Was used to being at a distance, still got it though :).

Elite void has higher health and armor as well.
