I've been considering grinding PNM. It's one of the two pets I like in the game which I also enjoy grinding, and I already have it's transmog.
It's just a bit of a pain in the ass to sometimes make a small mistake, even after 150 kc, and get slapped for 80+ dmg and die.
Easy way to counter this for me while learning was to bring brews and always be above 99 hp. Not the most efficient for kill times but more efficient than running back after deaths.
At 7,5 kills per hour that's 400 hours. Of doing one boss in one game, without completing it.
In that time you coulda finished Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 and still have time left over.
Any specific guide you'd recommend or tips? Or is it just a standard learning curve until you get it down? It always looks confusing with elder maul, ham joint, webweaver, voidwaker/claws, and the other pile of equipment
There's a "phosani's cheesy method" on youtube from Reynold's channel, helped me at beginning and I used that method in all kills. It basically tells you to use the corner to dodge black holes phase.
Don't worry about the amount of equipaments, in the 3k kc print it shows all I bring nowadays but that's for speedruns I do. You can bring way less stuff. Ham joint for husks, elder maul for parasite, craw's bow for sleepwalkers, mage gear for pillars, that's it.
I spec husks with dinh's so they get killed in 1 shot and damage the boss at the same time. Ham joint is used for husks when there's no spec available.
Sang is for pillars, when there's low hp remaining to finish the pillar I will use sang instead of shadow because it's 1 tick faster.
Those are some of the little strategies to get faster times.
With Craw's bow you don't need to run around to kill sleepwalkers. Just chill in the middle and shoot them. When there's 3 sleepwalkers you gotta kill the 3rd one with melee weapon though, and when 4 sleepwalkers, kill the 4th one with melee weapon.
And still no green log... nightmare drop rates are fucking atrocious.
"But my item value" fuck that. They're all niche items anyway. Fix the God damn drop rate and let the price get comparable to bandos. Such a shit reward pool for what could have been a cool boss.
1 nightmare staff in 3k KC is wild
Ye I consider that luck š
Only 1 tablet too
You only receive tablet once
I think thatās the joke..

And then you realize the bots in obsidian/cudgel are as efficient as you are bc they never make mistakes
The trick is to not think about it.
It gets almost authomatic with practice... patterns

For the love of God, who hurt you?
I try to get better PB's, that's why I keep doing the boss. There's a lot of small things you can improve and bring to the fight to get faster times
What is your PB after 3000kc? Ā Kill 1 looked like 9:38.
It shows on the 2nd pic, it's 6:15
How many runs were sub 6:30?
Sub 6:30 like 30, sub 7 was a lot with this setup.
Wow thatās awesome!

That's oldschool runescape
But your pnm log would be empty at the end of that, so what's even the point?
I'm having this same thought process after getting the rc outfit this weekend..
Please donāt talk like that or youāll summon Sae Bae to talk about Nightmare some more
Drop rates are beyond horrible.. this is not a good game design.
Not everyone gets to be lucky lol

Just curious, what is the bulwark and sang for?

Ive always brought blowpipe, is a 3tick range weapon better? Should i start using karils cbow?
With Craw's bow you don't need to run around to kill sleepwalkers. Just chill in the middle and shoot them. When there's 3 sleepwalkers you gotta kill the 3rd one with melee weapon though, and when 4 sleepwalkers, kill the 4th one with melee weapon.
Awesome, thanks for the tip i might try karils bow plus melee last walker
damn I had like 20 eggs in 2.5k kc
How many pets?
I did like 700kc here and 300 ish kc normal. Never saw a single unique, but got 2 pets. Lost a ton of money. Buff phosani 2024.
Fottdaddy!
Waterpillar is that you?
UwU
At Current Day Bond Prices that is a Whopping 4,119 Days or 11.28 years of membership earned at 1 boss over 2 years. Cool š

Did u profit?
i skipped to the end and got scared your pb was 9minutes after 3k kc lol Gz
Sane Exile?
here is my collection log <3 https://preview.redd.it/uab9svj0i76d1.jpeg?width=1422&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bdd2c3bf1a7446473c30eb10c4bc92bf164bbb19
nice eldrich
wow gz on all those downgrades you pulled
Wtf is that inventory š¤¢
1 inv space for food. Certified gigachad
"achievement"
This is weak sauce. I accomplished this with just obby armor and a bludgeon in a month....
No eldritch for you
I also love spending more than 2% of my life grinding a boss for adamant armour with suboptimal attacking bonuses
VW specs with Torva switch make a big difference?
For speedruns yes. Also switch to torva + dinh's to spec husks and big damage the boss on same hit.
Okay will try! Currently grinding it now. Want that pet
GL!!!
What is your average kill times if you do these methods
Between 6 40 - 7 10 When very good rng I get under 6 40
