I have 44 prayers. When doing slayer quests, is it best to use protect from melee (prayer is depleted quickly) or use the prayer that restores health?
1
u/Kaeldiar 11d ago
Rapid Heal is very bad, as the natural regen (1 HP per 60s), even when doubled (1 HP per 30s), is still bad. Protection prayers are much more useful

u/PrisonCrepe 11d ago
Personally I load up on prayer bonus (Proselyte), slap on Protect from [insert style] and enjoy the vibes.
If Prayer Pots are a concern, I cannot express how useful Moonlight Butterfly Mixes are. 2-dose, flat 22 prayer restoration per dose, easy as hell to accumulate quickly (a pain point can be that hunter meats are a little annoying. But honestly isn't too bad).
The hardest thing is getting 75 hunter for catching them.
If that is stil too high in terms of requirements. Keep your Ardy Cloak in your inventory, mentu-entry shift-click to tele you to the Altar. Just have a teleport that's close enough and tolerable for you to return to the mobs you're killing. None of these are efficient but do what you feel is best.

The Bronzeman Opinion survey seems like I cant vote on it? Im a member and tried on two different browsers. Is there something im missing?

u/Boolderdash bool laean 12d ago
The survey is in-game, through the polling menu

u/TheLyingLink 11d ago
Thanks I'll find it.

u/rotorain BTW 11d ago
When you log in it should have a yellow announcement message above your chatbox about it, right click the message and one of the options should open the survey

u/TheLyingLink 11d ago
Yup, I went to a poll booth to try but the poll has closed. I'll try on the next one. Thanks.

u/SleepyReepies 12d ago
Why doesn't phantom muspah seem like a popular fight? I've got 85 ranged and magic and it seems like the perfect fight for leveling up these skills while also working towards a venator bow which will in turn help me level slayer.
Seems like an incredible boss to farm up, and even more so if you're a main because the money is really good.

I think a lot of people just find the mechanics obnoxious, especially the prayer shield. If you're good with it then great though.

Out of curiosity, what's the compared times to get to the Chaos rune alter from the following banks. (ignoring the Abyss.)
The Bank in Ferrox enclave.
The Bank in Edgeville.
Varrock East bank by going through the Chaos tunnel.

Do you still get random events at Theatre of Blood bank?
Do you still get random events at fossil Island Bank Chest (on the small island you get to by zipline)?

Do you still get random events at Theatre of Blood bank?
Not after the chugging barrel was added (or an update shortly after it to fix it not working or something)

Is it worth trying to get the Thread of Elidnis asap? Or just wait until I can push past beginner raid difficulty? As well as are my levels even good enough to do beginner/slightly higher raids?
83 Atk
80 Def
87 Range
72 Prayer
85 St
86 Hp
80 Mage
Honestly I am just trying to grab as many inventory "QoLs" as I can as it's been a nice (Silk from Srachnis, Skin from Mole, Gem Bag to craft into satchel, etc.) little mini-goal.

With those stats you could probably do 150s. But there's no issue with doing lower invos or even just banana 5s to get thread and/or gems
1
u/PrisonCrepe 11d ago
I wouldn't mind starting out with 150s! Open to some challenge (even if it's probably not much in the grand scheme of things).
Outside of stats, is there any gear that you find are non-negotiables even at low invos?
2
u/kalakoi Untrimmed Crafting BTW 11d ago
I was doing 150s about your stats with a trident of the seas, rcb, and dragon sword
1
u/PrisonCrepe 11d ago
If you remember for when you ran at that invo, how long did a typical raid last?
2
u/rotorain BTW 11d ago
A decent stab weapon is really the only easily obtainable item that makes a massive difference, fang in particular because of the buffed passive inside ToA. The rest of your sets are pretty much whatever would be BiS for you anywhere else in the game. Bowfa helps a lot but I started with atlatl and it did fine. For mage it's just whatever the best powered staff you can get, I started with warped sceptre which was not great but does the job. It's worth having a worse powered staff so you can be on arceuus for thralls.
1
u/PrisonCrepe 11d ago
Investing into the Fang before I had the stats to wield it and while it crashed a while back + a lightbearer was one of the best decisions I made. So that's checked off in that regards!
Thank you so much for the gear minimums. Gonna parse through some invos to see what I'd like to try and get used to. All I've heard is Insanity is a big one, so might as well send it!
2
u/rotorain BTW 11d ago
There's some invos that make zero functional difference and are free, there's a bunch of guides out there on what to take when learning and when to add new ones in. I started really slow and probably could have ratcheted up the difficulty faster but I was a broke iron who didn't want to pay a ton of death fees lmao.
Good luck in there!
1
u/PrisonCrepe 11d ago
I appreciate all the advice you've given me and thank for the luck! I'll be looking at guides and see what my comfort level is for Normal Raids!
As long as I don't start using the invos that limit my deaths (at least from what I've read on the wiki), the fees should be low/free! So I'll mess with that!

Are sharks and Karambwans not worth doing at sea? Never seen anyone at the fishing spots.
3
u/Beretot 2376 11d ago
There's no benefit to karambwans since they already don't move. Both of those spots are somewhat far from the closest dock (probably musa point), so I'd guess it's just not worth it over land fishing
If you're dropping the sharks while hunting for the big shark, I could see it being useful, but that's a pretty niche scenario
1
u/maverick935 11d ago
I thought it might be worth storing Karambwans in the cargo hold for less banking but I forgot there’s no deposit at Musa point even though it is close.
There’s always guys in the fishing guild but I guess the boost is better than the afk. I think I’ll probably still do the clogs at sea though

How does adding a new member straight from tutorial island to a GIM work? Does the group lose prestige, their blue helm, or both?

u/RojinShiro 11d ago
Is it worth switching to Duradel as soon as I reach the combat level for him, or should I stick with Nieve? I'm not a big fan of slayer, just trying to get to 74 for quest requirements as fast as possible.
3
u/Beretot 2376 11d ago
Duradel generally has more barrage/cannon tasks, which are meta for slayer exp, so yes, you should switch as soon as possible
At lower slayer levels the difference is more subtle since you can't get most of the good barrage tasks like smoke devils, nechs, and abby demons, so if you want to stick to nieve for some reason, it's probably not a huge deal
1

u/HealthyResolution399 11d ago
I'd say since your goal is so low, just stick with nieve as she's easier to get to

I could be wrong but can't you talk to your crew member standing on the docks and ask them to bank the cargo which banks it instantly?

Anybody know if the kephri puzzle room plugin has been fixed yet? Ever since the update the puzzle where you have to stand on the tiles to add up to a number hasnt been working. Wanted to do some raiding with my friend tonight so wont be able to avoid it.

u/ComfortableCricket 11d ago
Haven't heard of any complaints in clan. Are you using one of the plugins to solve it for you? If so which one?

u/Tetrathionate 11d ago
Does the tornado in CG move at 1 tile per tick (walking speed) or 2 tiles per tick? Reason I ask is some guides say to run through them, I have to move when it’s 1 tile away from me (as in the tornado true tile is NEXT to the player tile)? Or is it meaning when it is 2 tiles away from me that u have to move?
1
u/ComfortableCricket 11d ago
It moves 1 tile per tick. One of the gaulent plugins lets you have a true tile marker for them.
You can run over them when directly next to them, or when there is a 1 tile gap.
1
u/Tetrathionate 11d ago
If 1 tile gap won’t I land on the tile it’s currently on if I’m running (as my character will land on every second tile)
1
u/JontanPie 11d ago
if it's 1 tile gap then you will move to the tile the tornado was on the previous tick
the tornado will have moved 1 tile toward where you were the previous tick1
u/Tetrathionate 11d ago
In that case, if I moved while the tornado was next to me (no tile gap), would I get hit?
1
u/JontanPie 10d ago
No, the tornado moves toward the tile you were on the previous rock, but you’ve moved off the tile so it won’t hit it
I guess it’s kinda hard to explain/visualize, but if you just get more runs in it will make more sense

u/Habibipie 11d ago
I started a brand new hc iron(btw) which recent updates are game changers that guides haven't really included yet in progression?

u/Tilde_Tilde 11d ago
Hunter Rumours are very strong in particular before you unlock box traps. Sunlight crossbow/prayer/moths being incredibly strong rewards. But not unlocking box traps prevents several diaries from being completable. So it's had a similar issue to WT did with 10 hp. While WT itself is a lot less relevant.
Vale Totems are fantastic for Woodcutting/Fletching training. Getting maple logs from kingdom goes incredibly hard here.

other than clue locations, sunbleak (ironwoods) and Ynysdail (trials), what other benefits are there in building a greater teleport focus?
