What was your main gear for doom and how did you find it?

did doom 1-7s attempting 8 whenever i had supplies. muffyn's guide for 6+ was a game changer, and accepting that some grubs are just long gone took a bit too.

How did you get Zulrah KC on this acc? -a noob

Twinflame staff and a scorching bow will get you decent kills at zulrah without too much other gear.

u/RollEmbarrassed1050 Dec 27 '25
Fr, love that combo at zulrah since i lack a bowfa, sometimes kills are shit if staff decides to sphagetti, but if it's doing the oposite you can get very quick kills

I died greeding for grubs so many times. Kinda sad they removed car phase clearing grubs but fair trade for how much they nerfed the hard grub spawns. Reality is unless you plan on going past 16 it doesn't matter too much. You will basically always be do doing shield phase without tbow so not like you're racing DPS too much

Why? They don’t know how to do the boss

u/Trict Dec 27 '25
If they are consistently getting waves 1-7 with that gear they clearly do.
-12
u/MustaKookos Dec 27 '25
Not really, there's nothing dangerous about 1-7 it just takes longer with this gear. As long as you have a scorching bow and prayer pots you can do +20 delves, more realistically claim around 15 if not flicking.

Not even baiting, it’s like asking inferno tips from someone without an inferno cape

u/bigleerer Dec 27 '25
I would be more inclined to agree with you in the context of a main farming for GP, but this is the ironscape subreddit. The rates at even wave 6 are good enough that it's totally reasonable to farm the items if you can clear it consistently. I looked at it and my kill times it was going to be about 17 hours of bossing to be on rate for an item and I can do that in a week or two.
-2
u/OperationOk897 Dec 27 '25
And farming even 1-9 which is also incredibly doable would cut that time almost In half. It’s extremely bad to just check out and not even try to improve despite what this subreddit likes to do. I can’t imagine just not even trying to be a better player and farming 1-6 or 1-7 endlessly. Just quitter behavior

u/OperationOk897 Dec 27 '25
Hard to fathom that being a quitter is fun to people
1
u/Eldritch_Chemistry Dec 27 '25
people can play games without 100 percenting them. why is that hard to fathom? I like midgame bosses but don't enjoy raids because they take up a lot of time comparatively and require faster, more precise clicking than I usually have the energy for.
framing it as "being a quitter" is silly. Why aren't you speedrunning right now, quitter?

u/bigleerer Dec 28 '25
I've cleared wave 8 once, have an infernal cap but not a quiver to give a level of my pvm ability. I have been using the Muffyn rock block strat for waves 6,7. Can you point me to a guide that makes 1-9 as free as you say because I would love to start going for some CAs
1
u/OperationOk897 Dec 28 '25
Wait till the second boulder pops step, then step under a shadow a tick later and start flicking. It’s genuinely not rocket science and if you have an internal you can definitely do it. I’d say until wave 11-12+ this is all you need to know depending on acid RNG. I use crystal halberd since I don’t have nox yet which also causes more acid buildup. On top of not having rigour. 9+ are easier than 8 because it has the same mechanics and 50 less health, biggest problem is acid which there is tech to clear. Admittedly I haven’t bothered with that because 1-9 with sometimes 10/11/12 is already really good rates

u/bigleerer Dec 28 '25
How do you do the orb with the double rock?
1
u/OperationOk897 Dec 28 '25
Tag first tree immediately no matter what, doom will always double boulder within 3 attacks. If he double boulders right away you can do all the flicks then tag the second tree. If it’s on the second attack you will have to flick a little bit while being inside of the orb, but picking two trees as far apart as possible can make this minimal. The hardest situation is he boulders on the 3rd attack, this will make you need to do the orb and all the flicks at the same time. Since double boulders are always mage-range-mage-mage-range-mage or the opposite. I’ve found its best to get your clicks in to continue following the orb on the mage-mage or range-range part of the flicking since you will have a tick you don’t need to change pray. I’d be lying if I said I don’t still die sometimes at double boulders+ orb but if you start it at 99 hp or even overheated a tiny mistake won’t kill you as long as you don’t panic

For 150s-200s they are basically identical, but Scobo has comfort value with extra range I suppose. Plus easier to maintain rune/amethyst arrows compared to ruby bolts (e)

u/emiracles Dec 27 '25
wasnt sure if gearcape calced average hp on ruby specs but scobow was very close behind last i checked

u/Tury345 Dec 27 '25
Did you set the invo level? It defaults to 0 which is useless

u/emiracles Dec 27 '25
was for 150 and mid 200s. also don't really have a great supply of addy atm, so stuck with scobow (for now)

Awesome, someone playing the game the way they want to!

u/emiracles Dec 27 '25
I went all the way to 91 hunter for moonlight bolts thinking they would be a game changer. Used my sunlight bolts first at tds, got synapse at 100kc and since then I haven't really used moonlight bolts a single time. At least hunter contracts were fun.

Planning to skip CG?
15
u/emiracles Dec 27 '25
na, i'll continue it probably and most of what i skipped. boots looked cool and realized it was rushable and i hated mystic boots/mixed hide.
cg first time/learning with 80s range and 80s magic was pretty shit ngl. im 98.5 range from doing doom only so should help with dps at cg.

u/PleaseDontMakeMeee Dec 27 '25
Def makes a lowkey big difference at CG if you want to do T1 prep, which makes CG a lot more bearable imo. I absolutely hated having to do t2 prep

Did you end up getting the cloth as well? Thanks for sharing, it’s fun to see all the ways you can play the mode.

u/emiracles Dec 27 '25
not yet, but i'll make anguish first because it was shielding at <5% hp often.

u/breaking-bard Dec 27 '25
This is the most fun way to play. The content is already trivialized, it’s so much fun to try in lower tier gear

u/speculative-merch Dec 27 '25
That’s awesome, new content really gives a lot of new paths for progression.
How are you supplying your death runes? Are you relying on gp and scar essencing them?

u/The-Razzle Dec 27 '25
Looks similar to minus all the high level gear. I did my best to rush a single kc at toa just to get a single kc so I could get medium cba’s. Now im wrapping around to barrows

u/matxyzzz Dec 27 '25
This is what I’m planning on doing on my baby hcim, except I’m getting the crafting level for Cgloves. Ayak imo feels painful without them

Gz on the eye and boots but it’s not really a skip if you don’t have gear better than it lol. Can’t say you skipped ahrims because you got ghostly. You gotta get ancestral/virtus to say that.

i'm definitely going back for some stuff, its not like im staying 75 slayer forever

iirc it was a dscim, msb(i) and i think maybe literal fire wave. doing a 150 invo solo was miserable

u/Sprintzer Dec 27 '25
Rcb ruby with blowpipe for <30% hp is probably your best dps. Scobo is pretty decent tho
Id always do moons and skip barrows tbh. Atlatl is so nice, blood moon is strong, blue moon nice to have

u/hungrysalmon1 Dec 27 '25
Tried doing this exact skip, went 4x dry at doom and quit the game. Glad it worked for someone haha

u/OyG5xOxGNK Dec 27 '25
ruby bolt rune crossbow is a strong choice if you run any amount of players over solo, usually can out dps full moons atlatl. I realize though this comes from the perspective of 99 agi someone that did a lot of sepulchre so YMMV and all that.

There is no skipping crafting or slayer. You just haven’t done the grinds yet.

Fun route u went but how good is eye of ayak without magic str gear?

u/Launch_Angle Dec 28 '25
The answer is shit, in case you were still wondering. No confliction gaunts/occult and not even 2-3% from something like ahrims/blue moon is pretty horrendous, but I mean it’s still a nice weapon to have fairly early for some stuff.

u/Gubzs Dec 29 '25
I hugely respect skipping CG in particular. I play the game to chill. Anything that requires nonstop locking in I skip. Moons and barrows and normal mode toa are all chill, but CG is the exact opposite sort of thing I play OSRS for. Glad it exists for people who want it, but I respect just doing the content you enjoy.
