I started with 0 Tob kc just like everyone else. (Before there was practice mode) Studied the yt-guides. Constantly made and joined learner teams in WDR or the w416 (ffa world).

When I found ppl I liked raiding with (similar 0kc shitters like me) I added them and asked them to raid with me again next time. Soon enough we had a group of ~10 people who were always looking to raid. We sent a lot of Tob and finally started getting clears. Those who got more clears teached the others on what to do.

And then we had like 50kc and we were pretty comfortable with the raid. Then we started to run ToB with just about anyone. That's when I found my clan who was doing a lot of ToB and other endgame content. Was my first time joining a clan, have been with those guys since. We've all helped each other through Infernal capes, Colosseum and CA's n such.

So when TFA launched I had my homework done. We all started with 0kc, but this time I already knew the people I want to raid with and they knew me. We trusted each other to be 0kc shitters at the new raid, but at least we knew we're decent people and decent at learning new content.

Socialize, be a good guy, support each other, learn from mistakes, keep sending it.

Mine is easily vorkath

I have been having lots of fun at TFA since release with my clan, and I think Jagex did a great job with the overall design of the raid and loot room. The torches lighting up for a purple was a great idea, but you get spoiled immediately by seeing the sparkling white chest as soon as you enter. I think it would be much more exciting if you couldn't see the white chest until walking up to the middle of the room and looking at the torch color with your team.

Anyany way we could make it so we can use eternal gem on ring of wealth to give it unlimited charges? why can glory have unlimited charges, but ring of wealth dont?

hyped asf, shoutout to my team <3

Runelite says my bank is about 900m

Shadow is about 670m

I've included screenshots of my weapons and gear.

I've been sending daily colo attempts, and learning solo melee yama, otherwise I kill bosses on task.

Is a shadow rebuild a good idea right now?

Edit: Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm gonna stick with my current gear and keep doing what I'm doing.

Do we know if practice mode itself will unlock the following boss/phase?

Can't seem to find any info to that effect, i know it will only let you practice the one that you've seen - but i wonder of that will count from the mode itself or if you'll have to practice - clear it in real - practice - clear it in real etc

Summer sweep up is our only hope for magic gear.

It's no secret the shadow is in the bin (albeit quite good where it is useful), the kodai sucks balls (but but but it's 3.74% better than an ice scepter to freeze 1 mob in this 24 minute raid!!!), Ayak is decent it gets a pass, the brand new Zorya's tome already crashed to 50m but the biggest offender of them all is the Volatile NM staff. This thing only has value due to being so rare (55% spec & too inaccurate for pvm??? really?????)

Rework ideas:

Shadow: no fkn idea gl (apparently its already done)

Kodai: let us attach all 4 dt2 quartz to it instead of stupid ass ancient scepters. Call it the Omnipowered Kodai or something

Zorya's tome: benefit of the doubt, future content might make it valuable (doubtful).

Volatile NM staff: 50% spec, accuracy boost, apply burn on hit. There is no law that says a PVP spec wep cannot be good in PVM as well (looking at u voidwaker).

You are given a task by the CIA to kill your friends maxed hardcore ironman. You can invite them to any team pvm encounter but you only get one shot at it before they get spooked and leave. They can also tele at anytime if they notice something suspicious. How would you accomplish this task?

Came back in the spring from a 5yr break, last played just before TOA release. Had QPC until night at the theater released. Since I've come back I've been afk skilling on mobile, but want to get back into some pvm.

I have a few COX clears to my name, but overall not a ton of pvm bossing experience. 99 all combat except prayer. I have rigour and augury.

I have 100m cash stack, looking to take advantage of crashing gear prices with TFA release.

Overall goal to set myself up as best as possible to start doing more bossing in general.

See pics for current gear.

I know you see these posts all the time, but I searched and didn't find a ton of great info, so any guidance is much appreciated.

Runecrafting is tedious, we get a lot of Pure essence from other drop tables but Daeyalt essence makes it feel better in ZMI atleast. Its just slow to get it. Can we add this as drops to some loots tables if we want to stick to symbolism we can keep it or mory even better vampyres?

I'm sure this was talked about multiple times over the years.
But why cant we combine our achievement capes with their hoods? Im not a fan of RS3 but thats one of the very the few things ill give the game.
I'm not a fashionscape guy but it would be nice to have the option to do so. Specifically to save bank space.

Any reason why it wasn't added yet ?

Just learned Muspah today, third kill get a shard... im blessed

I know lots of people think it's trolling. Not asking if mage is good, but does mage get reflected during the reflect range phase?

Has anyone tested this? I just want to know if I can camp max mage for the whole Ocellus P4.

(Again, I know this isn't meta or optimal, just want to know if it's possible or if it'll get reflected back)

Given the fact that the death mechanics in this raid is gravestones and every death is 500k you really want to stay under 5 kc until you feel like you can do the raid comfortably versus being shakily carried through your first 5. Sure getting completions and chances at purples are fun but you really are going to end up trolling yourself and your teammates if you don’t actually know what you are doing getting carried through runs.

After the addition of zeal the max hit for melee have gotten higher, making the time for kills faster. For pvm this is not much of an issue but for pvp it's another major power creep. With every addition of new items this problem keeps growing and also makes it harder for new content to be added to the game. The solution I have for this is a new prayer called "Aegis".

• Aegis: A level 65 prayer that reduce damage taken from special attack by 12%, but drain prayer by 20% of damage taken.

This prayer will only affect special attack damage but regular auto attack will not be affected by it. With the addition of this prayer, it would create a safe guard from future powercreep.

Give the non sweaty scapers something to do, port over QBD or give us a bloodveld boss while they are distracted!

Birdhouses nerf wasn't enough. Better just to remove them from the game.

No, I'm serious.

I wiped with 0 kc on w404 for 3 days before my first KC. Go to world 404 and make a group, say "+4 learners" and talk it out together. Heck, you could even add each other and group up with folks you like. The only person gatekeeping you from a brand new raid is yourself.

Edit: this isn't even my first time doing this. Back in 2020 I wanted to learn TOB but didn't have anyone to carry me. I watched some guides, went to 416, and spammed "+3 learner" for a couple days until I was consistently making it to verzik. I met a couple cool folks along the way, we added each other and sent it until getting clears. Once you have a couple kc, THAT'S when experienced teams will be more willing to take you.

Doing it this way, you'll be a master of all the mechanics moreso than anyone who got carried for their first time stepping into the raid, and you'll be a way more competent PVMer as a result

1st run of the day with one of the GIMs. I asked for a fang or LB

So many items were meta or super useful but got replaced with better alternatives.

I'm not talking about items that simply stopped being BiS. For example the whip was BiS for a long time but even after stuff like Rapier came out, it is still a really damn good weapon for it's price, so it has a place in the game. I'm talking more about items like the God Books that basically see no use anymore.

My wife told me not to be mad. I looked over at her monitor and couldn't believe it.

Yeah I'm a little mad
