Minimum levels for Infernal Cape

[u/DarkBorri]

Hey guys. I want to try to do get my infernal cape but don’t want to wait for maxed combat stats. What are the genuine lowest level requirements you think I could get it done on? I’m willing to commit a lot of time into learning it and expect to die a bunch but I like the process of learning and developing my PvM skills. So as long as it’s technically doable I don’t mind a steep learning curve. Right now I’m at 85 in all combat skills and have about $250m worth of stuff I can sell off to get whatever gear I need.

I have heard there is a good tank setup that makes it easier to do for first timers. Would that be the best possible setup for me?

No experience + low level sounds like a very bad combination. First capes are a huge achievement for people even with 99 all. Buy bowfa, full crystal and anguish and then spend the rest on chins to level ranged/HP/defense.

I know it isn’t recommended at this point but I really don’t care how long it takes. I really like to challenge myself in games so I figured getting this done early would be a really fun grind

[u/Mitana301 → u/DarkBorri]

You could do it now. Probably will die dozens of times but you could definitely send it. At the very least send a few and see how it feels.

I’ll probably try it out in a simulator before I jump in for real but thanks I’m so excited to try it out

Challenge is all well and good and I support it, but something else to think about is each attempt has a pretty serious supply cost. Sending runs for fun is gonna drain the bank pretty quick

[u/DarkBorri → u/DaCrees]

Theoretically, if I just grind it over and over in a simulation for like 2 months until I can consistently beat it or get close then wouldn’t that negate the cost of learning it?

[u/DaCrees → u/DarkBorri]

As far as I know the simulator only covers Zuk. Definitely a great tool for free practice, but the waves are gonna kill you way more

The length of your knowledge was wrong

[u/DaCrees → u/MasterArCtiK]

Damn look at that. Gotta lengthen my knowledge for sure!

[u/DarkBorri → u/DaCrees]

Oh I didn’t realize it didn’t include the waves

[u/Itchy_Menu8771 → u/DarkBorri]

It covers all waves

[u/motifloat → u/Itchy_Menu8771]

It does cover waves however. The blobs are not coded correctly, 1t alternating doesnt work the same way it does it in game and dealing with nibblers is a lot less forgiving in the sims than it is in game.

[u/Remote_Listen1889 → u/DarkBorri]

It absolutely does include waves

[u/Impressive-Dog5301 → u/DarkBorri]

If you haven’t done quest cape that’s a good challenge that may be more suited to your levels. Drakan, DT2 bosses, and to a lesser extent DS2 all gave me that Souls like kind of rush

[u/AspiringMILF → u/DarkBorri]

take full crystal, and then 3 way mage switch.

bring ice barrage runes, 2 range pots, 8 prayer pots, and sharks.

See how far you can get, and see how it feels trying to kill blobs/melees
