May need to bank a bit, but I plan on camping for about 4 hours :) don't worry about being late
 
Server and Location

The world will be determined at the start of the event. We will meet inside the bank area before Nex's chamber. As there is a chance we may use an instance if we can't find a world, your grave may not be able to be blessed. It's suggested you purchase the highest time you can to ensure you can make it back in time. Please keep in mind that the room before the bank is extremely deadly, bring food/teleports to ensure you don't double grave.


The Boss
Nex is one of the most difficult bosses in the game and should not be underestimated. She can hit extremely high and has several special abilities.  As of a recent update, she will now pray against all 3 styles at different intervals. Everyone should be using 2 styles.
Her wings will change color depending on her deflect prayer: green for ranged, blue for magic, orange for melee.
 
Host
@Levells

Inventory & Equipment

A beast of burden should be presummoned and filled with food. A unicorn is suggested in the last slot.
If maging, remember to bring runes. Vulnerability can increase kill speed significantly.
Gear can be downgraded, but Barrows/Bandos is the lowest advised.
Magic or range gear may be worn in the helm, glove, and boot slot to maximize defense if so desired.
If you have them, the Penance Aura and Vampyrism/Cruelty/Elements Scrimshaws are very helpful.
It is advisable to bring a shield for additional healing after a kill and to gain adrenaline at the start.
Quick Prayers should be set to Protect/Deflect Magic and your highest boosting combat prayer for your style.

Closing Comments:

Levells will be tanking Nex using the Incite ability, so it is recommended that you mix offensive and defensive gear. If you don't know what you're doing it is HIGHLY recommended that you read an up to date guide.
As with all bosses, there is a risk of death here, though this risk is MUCH higher on both the ice and Zaros phases, due to her AoE attacks, which can deal over 3000 damage to large groups of people who don't run away in time! The "Contain This!" attack on the ice phase is the most deadly, as up to 4 icicles will follow random players, anyone standing on the squares near to them will be hit for up to 3000 damage.
The second attack you should be wary of is her STANDARD melee attack on the Zaros phase, much like barrage spells, this will hit all players in a 3x3 radius around the person being attacked, so it's best to stand opposite the tank, or if maging/ranging, as far away as possible, and let the tank take all the damage.

A small guide if it's your first time going to Nex
If you've got your frozen key, and are not sure how to get to the Nex bank safely, please refer to this video, a quick run through of what to bring and how to safely get to the bank:



This guide is useful for seeing the different abilities Nex uses. If this is your first time going, it would be a good idea to watch it. While it does not contain her new Deflect Magic update, her attacks are still accurate. (Mild language)
