February 10, 201412 yr Hello! I have finally decided to give Fight Caves a go, and I need some final advice regarding my setup.Below are my inventory, skills and equipment. I am on curses, I am on the special slayer task, and I am using ice blitz. Should I bring equipment for a secondary style?Should I switch out some sharks for a super magic potion or two?Should I use robes of subjugation instead of obsidian?Should I rely less on food, more on prayer?Should I make any changes to my ability bar?Any advice will be appreciated! Proud Quester!
February 10, 201412 yr I think you'll need more prayer, and a ranged/melee switch would be pretty nice, because Kiln monsters have damage reduction against two styles. (did the pickaxe requirement get removed?) Since you're not 92/95 prayer, there's not much reason to be on curses at all, it just drains your prayer a bit more for a (perhaps negative) boost (2-3 leeches vs. piety).

February 10, 201412 yr It's Caves, Q :P You can afford to bring a bunch more prayer potions. Obsidian is a safer bet since it will make Jad a lot less deadly if you miss a switch. Make use of Rejuvenate for healing/Resonance for catching a big hit (does anything else in Caves hit really high these days?). In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
February 10, 201412 yr Author I have read that quite a few people are doing the fight caves without food at all, and pray only at Jad. As a first-timer, should I also pray against the Ket-Zeks/Tok-Xils? Proud Quester!
February 10, 201412 yr You probably want 4-5 prayer flasks for the 360s and jad. It's a lot easier to conserve food than it is to conserve prayer. Use asphyxiate and wild magic when the healers spawn and hopefully you'll out-dps them.

Use asphyxiate and wild magic when the healers spawn and hopefully you'll out-dps them. Meaning that he shouldn't lure healers off and just out hit their heals? That's where I always die that's why i'm asking.
February 10, 201412 yr Author After watching a few videos, I'm leaning towards changing back to normal prayers for augury. Still debating whether I should go for the defense of gano or damage reduction of obsidian armor. Proud Quester!

That's where I always die that's why i'm asking. Yeah. Worst case scenario, just go back into a safespot, collect your nerves, and try again. Just alternate between concentrated blast and wrack for the first half of jad. After watching a few videos, I'm leaning towards changing back to normal prayers for augury. Still debating whether I should go for the defense of gano or damage reduction of obsidian armor.You should never be on curses until you're 95 prayer.
February 10, 201412 yr Author Thanks for the heads-up on prayer. Given the difference in armor rating between gano and obsidian, it seems like gano gives the overall best chance of success (I didn't do the math on block chance/damage reduction). EDIT: I think I will also go for some prayer renewal rather than prayer potions. Proud Quester!
February 10, 201412 yr Author This seems to be my final setup. If this stands uncorrected in a few minutes, I will go for it. Wish me luck. EDIT: Almost forgot my runes... Proud Quester!
February 10, 201412 yr It's probably too late to warn you, but you're carrying 5 hours' worth of prayer renewals. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
February 10, 201412 yr Author Changed it for some prayer pots, managed the entire thing! Wasn't as hard as I feared. Although I didn't lure the healers far enough away from Jad for the first 60k+ lp... Proud Quester!
February 15, 201412 yr Imo take dps mage gear the best u can get and like 5 super restore flasks an mayb couple of ovlds and renewals and just stand in the middle and pew pew... Untill jad comes then go to that italy dubbed safe spot and then engage him whenever u r rdy fight cave and kiln so ez in eoc :s killing mole is harder than doing these
