World will be announced just before we start, and may switch during the event as we progress!

 

Host & Chat: Komodo Jo

 

Event Details:

 

What monster are we hunting you may ask?  The answer is: all of them!  How this event will work is a progression from one Runescape boss to another, only progressing once we've gotten a split (of any kind) from the current boss.  The list below details how the progression will work:

 

King Black Dragon

Exiled Kalphite Queen (yeah, we're not gonna do both regular and exiled versions)

Corporeal Beast

Zammy GWD

Sara GWD

Bandos  GWD

Armadyl GWD

Tormented Demons

Dagannoth Kings

etc.

 

We will stay at a boss until we get a split of any kind (or get bored from lack of drops) and then we will go on to the next boss (pausing just long enough for everyone to bank and get re-geared).  When we get to the GWD bosses I suggest everyone plan to bring gear and supplies so that we can hit all four in order without having to bank for new gear.  Hybrid armor & beasts of burden may come in handy here.

 

The event will last as long as people want to stick around and the number of bosses we get to will depend on our luck with drops and how long people want to stick around.  Anyone coming late is free to join up with us at whatever boss we may be at at the time (just join the chat and ask where we are!).  If we progress to a boss that you can't access (Corp, TDs, etc.) then feel free to chill out, wish us luck, and rejoin us when we progress to the nest boss.

 

Gear:

 

What gear you need will vary throughout the event depending on what boss we are currently at.  If you need tips on how to dress for a boss please check out the various monster hunting guides on Tip.it or post questions below.  In general wear the highest tier gear you have (70+ recommended) and use the highest tier weapons you have.  We want quick kills so we can hurry up and get our splits and progress through the event!  Note that for the GWD bosses I highly recommend bringing items to protect from aggression by all four factions, so that as we go from boss to boss you can safely get KC without having to keep banking.

 

Here are a few quick general guidelines for each boss:

King Black Dragon - Use any attack style, but be prepared for his fire breath attacks (take a shield & potion or super potion)

Exiled Kalphite Queen - You have to melee her first form and either range or mage her second form, so take a gear switch

Corporeal Beast - If using melee (recommended) you must use a spear.  Guthan's Warspear or a Zammy Spear are good choices.

Zammy GWD - Weak to fire spells, so mage with fire/blood spells is recommended

Sara GWD - Weak to water spells, so mage with water/ice spells is recommended

Bandos GWD - No weakness, so use your choice of attack style

Armadyl GWD - Melee doesn't work here, so you must use range (recommended) or mage

Tormented Demons - They switch protection prayers so you need at least two attack styles

Dagannoth Kings - You will need all three attack styles here

etc. - I doubt the event will last longer than this, but if it does and you need advice on gear we'll be happy to help!

 

 

Have any questions?  Please post them below!  I hope you are all having a great holiday season and I hope to see you all on Saturday!  Bring on the splits!

What consitutes a gear switch for the Queen (and in general)?
I have

Bandos w/ Korasi+EEE

Karils w/ Royal
Gano w/ SoL

 

Also, for the GWD, will we be stopping in between bosses? If not where do you reccomend we bank?

Well, for the queen you need melee + either ranged or mage, so bring the Bandos/Korasi for her first form and then one of the other two setups for her second form.

 

For GWD my hope is that we can all bring enough gear + supplies to stay there and hit all four in order without having to come back and bank, but if needed people can bank wherever is most convenient for them and head back out.  We'll play that by ear based on turnout and how things go.  There is no bank nearby so it's a matter of tele out, bank, return.

Not a big turnout, but we had fun anyway.  We spent about an hour at the KBD without any good drops before deciding to skip it and go on.  Then we went to the Exiled KQ and before too long got a Dragon Helm (which as it turns out doesn't coinshare anymore but we counted it anyway).  Then we went on to the Corporeal Beast and spent a while killing him.  We never did get a split, but with our small numbers and a few decent normal drops (cannonballs, onyx bolts, etc.) we still made a bit of cash.

 

Thanks for coming everyone and enjoy the holiday season!
