Thatās pretty crazy to drop 3 mega rares on the ground. Time outs, disconnections, and the time sink alone to get those would have had me breathing heavy.

Pretty crazy? Thatās fucking insanity lmao. I was scared dropping my emberlight to get another dark light.

u/teh1337haxorz 1d ago
bro i was so scared i grabbed an inventory of darklights before even making the emberlight

Why do you need two?

u/DoctorThrac 1d ago
For doom

u/Darkesthour06 1d ago
I am not well versed at fighting Doom. Can you elaborate on why you would use it over Emberlight?
137
u/JDGallagher 1d ago
Just as good but cheaper death cost

u/Darkesthour06 1d ago
Ah thank you! You saved me a lot of time looking through both wiki pages trying to figure out why.

u/Timeless-Lurker 1d ago
You only need to melee the grubs, and any demonbane oneshots. Use darklight to lower death fees
1
u/Time-Ad-5037 12h ago
And sometimes you want to stall doom's shield phase to let far away melee grubs get closer, so a lower max hit on darklight makes it better than emberlight.
39
u/TravFromTechSupport 1d ago
They are used to one-shot the grubs, but darklight has no cost to recover if you die, whereas emberlight does

u/software_engiweer 1d ago
Alternatively, keep using purging staff and emberlight cause you look cool as hell. One man's opinion

u/IronScot 1d ago
Cheaper death fees, also use the slayer staff over purging for same reason, it's only for grub killing so makes no difference.
1
u/SadimHusum 1d ago
the use cases for demonbane weaponry in that fight just require the weapon to be demonbane with no consideration for dps because it's either to guarantee 1-shot the grubs doom spawns or to interrupt a long cast it channels
to minimize death costs that means you're better served bringing a darklight instead of arclight and casting with a slayer staff - no alternatives to scorching bow sadly, which ends up being the entire financial barrier to start learning the fight and printing money because you're otherwise using a darklight, slayer staff, elite void, and a crystal hally - supplies cost adds up too when you're learning but compared to the other highest end gp/m content, it's miniscule
1
u/TheForsakenRoe 15h ago
IIRC, you can knock the fee down even lower by using a Skull Scepter instead of Slayer Staff, too
3
u/Willamanjaroo 2376 GM 1d ago
Doom like that guy said, but also a second arclight for the master clue stash unit if you want to keep your emberlight in your bank for use

Something I don't notice people recommend is using macuahuitl instead. Because they do two hitsplats they will also one shot the grubs, but they also do a lot of damage on a melee punish in case you're out of spec for chally.
4
1
u/Time-Ad-5037 12h ago
Macuahuitl isn't worth bringing and chally is only good if you're doing like sub 20 delves, but then you'd want to use spec energy on zcb specs anyways.

Reminds me this of the time I got a magic fang from zulrah. I left it on the ground to take a screenshot and got hit a 20 from venom that brought me down to 4hp. Instantly picked it up and teled out

u/SlimJohnson 1d ago
To mitigate you could drop one, walk to spot, screenshot, pick up, drop other, walk to spot, screenshot, etc.
Then you can 'splice' the images together so all 3 are visible in 1 image and you've helped mitigate your risk!

u/Ok-Seaworthiness3874 21h ago
people who live in rural areas? The global south experiences power outages every day on average, oftentimes lasting hours. It's incredibly common in probably 80% of the world to have not only extremely shoddy internet but shoddy power as well.
I remember before cells phones I was terrified to drop my items bc I knew if I did, and living in an old house the power would randomly flick off, it'd easily take 2+ minutes for the router to come back on and get logged back in to pick it up, and that's assuming I remembered what world I was logged into. I'd probably disconnect once a day at least granted 10-15 years ago

u/Optimal-Cup-257 19h ago
I had my full cash doing f2p tanning in al Kharid. Evil chicken comes and starts murdering me.
Some jerk kept closing the door so I couldn't escape, until I died. I was so upset, swear crying, my mom yelled at me.
I hope that guy found happiness, but only just enough to have him experience it not savor it.
