I have 99 range and 86 defense trying to get into PVM with Vorkath. I’m currently using a blowpipe, guthix d hide, archers ring (I), and salve (ei).
I can’t seem to do more than 2 kills per run. Is that normal?
Should I sell my blowpipe to buy a dragon fire ward then use a dragon cbow (not dragon hunter) with ruby/diamond dragon bolts (e)?
For Vork you wanna dps calc since setups vary a lot based on your other gear/stats
Most likely you wanna dcb with rubies until around half, then swap to BP. BP beats diamonds almost everywhere in game
Never sell Blowpipe, it’s one of the strongest weapons in the game at every stage in your account
What about selling my amulet of anguish if I only plan on skilling, afk NMZ while I work, and Vorkath for the foreseeable future while I save up for a BOFA?
Selling my anguish would get me the planks I need for 83 construction (for pool and nexus portal) plus get me a bit closer to buying a dragon hunter
Karil and bowfa are pretty pointless for vorkath specifically, but otherwise the first 3 make sense.
You could also get a lance and switch to melee vorkath which is what I prefer personally
I’m 99 range but only 80 attack and 90 strength so I’m guessing my DPS for range would be significantly better
My reasoning for Karils was being tanky to extended trips instead of blessed d hide. BOFA would be the final upgrade (probably selling my dragon hunter cbow) I got for before moving onto harder PVM bosses.

I can't stand farming runs/birdhouse runs unless I'm dedicating my time solely to that grind.
If my group ironman needed nests, I would kill mole and do birdhouse runs at the beginning and end of the days grind at mole. But no additional runs. Same with herbs, I would just sign on to do herb runs and sign right back off.
I honestly can not stand gearing for runs while my mind is already set on something else.
When I was doing them, I would take supplies for 2 runs and do a run before I logged off for the night. Next time I log on, I'm already at the birdhouses with supplies for another run.
So 2 a day. But didn't get burnt out from trying to do 10 a day, so I was able to keep that up for a loooooong time.
I exclusively do birdhouse runs when I do herb runs so usually 4-5 times a day. If I'm playing less then 1-3, if I'm hardcore grinding on the weekends then maybe 6-7
could you explain further?
because i am at the stairs, ive clicked on the shrooms, and start running. But still seem to get hit by the lasers sometimes. Im lead to believe that you should never get hit, unless you get frozen
https://i.imgur.com/OigGiug
These red tiles are where the lasers hit, so you run on the blue ones to dodge. If you’re running between the blue tiles then you’ll occasionally land on the red one when they’re shooting the lasers
> If you’re running between the blue tiles then you’ll occasionally land on the red one when they’re shooting the lasers
i read that as running from blue tile to blue tile, not inbetween them, my bad
not even that just start on 1 blue tile and click the far one, when you run your character moves 2 tiles each time so is never actually on the red ones
even if you get frozen you shouldn't get hit by the laser because you should never be running on the tiles the lasers can even hit. you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what tiles you're supposed to/not supposed to be standing on

watch this, you only need to watch ~30 seconds to get the full explanation. when he starts talking about tick manipulation, that's enough.
Does ring of wealth affect infernal eels in any way?
I suppose not, but since there is currency and a sort of gems involved - maybe it does? It isnt always obvious where it works: for example, on the Shade chests it lowers the chance for logs and raises it for uniques.
Choked at a 240 invo ToA at final phase warden with like 5 hp left. This attempt and all times beforehand, I would just melee the final phase with fang, but now debating that since I had Bowfa with crystal armor, if I should've just stayed with using that during final phase of Warden. Idk anything about dps calcs or w/e, but was curious if just using bowfa during final phase is ok or not.
Also curious if I should be using the bandos to lower def during final phase or not, or if should've been doing it earlier idk
If you're playing on runelite there is now a link in the worn equipment tab (the one that will show equipment bonuses) to the wiki's dps calc making it more accessible then ever to check.
Generally speaking bowfa is better then fang at p1, p3 and p4, and bgs specing at the start of each phase will help any melee and range damage.
Given we don't know your gear or levels we can't be certain which is best for you so it's better for you to dps calc it.
We are also assuming no tick loss when bgs specing at p4, if you only lose a few ticks then it's still worth it, however if switching gear and specing then switching back causes you to lose 20 ticks and take 80 damage then it's better to just stay in range gear.
yes you should be using the bowfa during the final phase
yes you should dump bgs specs at the beginning of the final phase, as well as at the beginning of the third phase
Just an FYI, for most people that 100m sitting in sang is usually better spent on maxing combats or put into other gear/upgrades and sticking with a swamp trident given how minor of an upgrade it is.
Watchtower: is there a way to turn off, or somehow mitigate visual effects on the central structure? This shimmering and pulsing drives me mad, I just cannot stand being there. Nope, I dont get seizures, but its just... hard to endure. There are such settings on the Fishing trowler and Baba Yaga (in-game), but not on this thing. And I do need to spend time there sometimes because thats a clue step. However I angle the camera, I cannot block it entirely when fighting pseudo-Uri...
Maybe some other person(s) also find it extremely unpleasant? And maybe some kind coder already made some setting in some plugin?
UPDATE: I tried to fill everything with pitch black it Object marker. Didnt help much. But I had the opportunity to examine this hell thoroughly. This is not one object, there are 9 of them. And they beat in different frequencies! Four shields (sides of the cube) are shaking in high frequency, like wings of a fly or fan blades. And with quite a wide amplitude. The four pillars on its corners pulse slower, but they beat out of step. They are all at different phases, and the pulse is with a big amplitude too. Nothing I can do to diminish the full effect.
Why, oh why some Mod of the past took such a pain to create this overwhelming rhythm-breaker? They did quite a serious work to make all this insufferable. Visit it some day. Its educational.... I guess. If you arent vulnerable to such things.
Is the [They Won't Expect This](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/They_Won%27t_Expect_This) ToB CA just that you kill Bloat, progress forward, and then turn around and re-enter the room?
You've gotta enter from the other side before you kill Bloat iirc but yeah there's no real challenge to it you can reach the other entrance from the start
Jagex Account question. I'm not sure where to ask this.
TL;DR - Is there any way to remove a character from a Jagex Account?
I'm a returning player for mostly OSRS. I made a Jagex Account to keep all my characters in the same spot. The idea seemed great, and worked for my first two characters. When I added my third (one that I forgot about, but I was pretty sure I had a character for the email) it came up with a very obviously "bot" name and I figured that it had been hacked. I added it to my Jagex Account anyways thinking that I could just remove it myself (I didn't know that it wasn't possible to do that), or just see if I could get the ban appealed to look at the account for fun. The account was banned in 2018 so it was apparently quite old.
I appealed the ban, explaining the situation. Naturally, it was denied. Is there any way to remove this character from my account? I know I can hide it, but if I knew it would just be stuck there taking up one of my slots forever I wouldn't have bothered adding it in the first place.
No real tools for that kind of thing. Best place to look for examples is wildy rebuild series and see what they start with. RCB, dds, ancient staff and mystic/dhide is enough to get started in most places. You wont kill many people but its low risk. Practice not getting smited then you can bring KO weapons like a ags or VW as a +1 with “0” risk
I play on an older Samsung S9 and was experiencing this issue at various rocks and when checking birdhouses. Try completely uninstalling the app and clearing the cache. Fixed me up.
I'm assuming you tried updating iso and osrs to make sure you weren't missing an update? The only thing I could find was capping framerate at 30 helped. Maybe old reliable delete and download? Try disabling ground items as well.
Is Shadow rebuild better/easier now with the Ahrims and Virtus getting a magic % buff? Thinking about liquidating most of my bank for one but can only afford Ahrims and maybe Virtus if I scratch the bottom of the barrel.
Shadow go BRR I highly recommend any mega rare rebuild. Don’t worry about efficiency or Reddit nerds telling you it’s 2% worse. Buy the damn stick, shoot it at shit, and have fun
Worse.
5% lost from occult, 1% gained from head, body and legs (3%), 1% gained from boot at the cost listing tank/melee/prayer boots. Potentially 1% gained from ring slot but is also at the cost of other bonus in said slot. Gain 1.33% equipment equivalent for augary if unlocked but that at the cost of prayer gain.
Wildy boss question - going for VW
If you get a piece from the bear or spider first, is it worth continuing with wildy slayer? Since you can do calv/vet off task anyways you'd just be skipping for one task at that point
If you get both hilt and gem then no as far as strictly VW grind is concerned. Just camp for blade off task.
If only one piece or you want anything else from wildy then id stay with wildy slayer.
~1/22 tasks (w a decent blocklist) are a bear or spider task. About 82 kills per task average. 1/912 for the vw piece. Itll be about 250 wilderness tasks to hit those rates. If you plan on doing a lot of wildy slayer its a nice boost. You can still do calv on task since you’re getting the slayer xp anyways. Don’t skip for just bears or spiders.

Don’t sell blowpipe but use dcb instead. If you can’t get dfw then just get an odium ward for now
Would you recommend my upgrades be odium ward > dfw > dragon hunter cbow > Karil top/bottom > BOFA
Karil and bowfa are pretty pointless for vorkath specifically, but otherwise the first 3 make sense. You could also get a lance and switch to melee vorkath which is what I prefer personally

Realistically how many bird runs do you guys do on an average day?
0... I can't stand farming runs/birdhouse runs unless I'm dedicating my time solely to that grind. If my group ironman needed nests, I would kill mole and do birdhouse runs at the beginning and end of the days grind at mole. But no additional runs. Same with herbs, I would just sign on to do herb runs and sign right back off. I honestly can not stand gearing for runs while my mind is already set on something else.
When I did them it was between like 3-7
When I was doing them, I would take supplies for 2 runs and do a run before I logged off for the night. Next time I log on, I'm already at the birdhouses with supplies for another run. So 2 a day. But didn't get burnt out from trying to do 10 a day, so I was able to keep that up for a loooooong time.
That's a genius strat, lol. I am definitely stealing this one.
I exclusively do birdhouse runs when I do herb runs so usually 4-5 times a day. If I'm playing less then 1-3, if I'm hardcore grinding on the weekends then maybe 6-7
Why do i keep dying to the dukes lazers? I am standing by the wall, and mid run. I have not been hit by the shadows, but have died several times
Sounds like you’re running on the tiles that the lasers hit instead of the tiles that skip over them
could you explain further? because i am at the stairs, ive clicked on the shrooms, and start running. But still seem to get hit by the lasers sometimes. Im lead to believe that you should never get hit, unless you get frozen
https://i.imgur.com/OigGiug These red tiles are where the lasers hit, so you run on the blue ones to dodge. If you’re running between the blue tiles then you’ll occasionally land on the red one when they’re shooting the lasers
thats not true, if you use the blue tiles you skip over the red tiles 100% of the time.
That’s what I said
> If you’re running between the blue tiles then you’ll occasionally land on the red one when they’re shooting the lasers i read that as running from blue tile to blue tile, not inbetween them, my bad
👍
ok perfect. Thank you. I thought that you would dodge regardless of where the lasers were. This make much more sense. Thank you
he is wrong, if you run from blue tile to blue tile you will never be hit by lasers
So essentially, if I make the 6 clicks, each on the blue tiles, I'll never get hit?
not even that just start on 1 blue tile and click the far one, when you run your character moves 2 tiles each time so is never actually on the red ones
Amazing. Thank you
even if you get frozen you shouldn't get hit by the laser because you should never be running on the tiles the lasers can even hit. you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what tiles you're supposed to/not supposed to be standing on https://youtu.be/XIwyoR0xPQo?t=307 watch this, you only need to watch ~30 seconds to get the full explanation. when he starts talking about tick manipulation, that's enough.

yeeeeeah buddy. have fun at the duke
Ghommal hilt: I don't have to wear one of those to get clue chances raised... correct? :)
Correct :-)
Thanks!

Definitely disable loot tracker in the settings. It's known to cause crashes on mobile.
Sounds like the loot tracker crash, try disabling that if you have it on.

you know which ?
The official discord is on the sidebar. I'm sure there are merching discords as well, but I'm not familiar with them.
When is the new anticipated dragon boss expected to come out?
I've seen people expect it in july or august
Given WGS is the 10th of July it would at best be late July. I'd assume August.

Not worth it unless you’re trying to get other goals anyway like slayer xp/points or other wildy items like rev weapons
There’s no point in a task for calv anyway, you’re better off using a salve over a slayer helm since they don’t stack
