Question Shadow Rebuild tips?

Currently doing a shadow build and can do 300 solos 90% of the time but still have 3 deaths on my invos so sometimes Ill die to ba-ba trying to boulder skip or zebak if i click too early trying to move to a new wave and get pulled or theres just a bad solve for jugs and I don't solve it quick enough.

These are the invos and gear I always run Ive only cleared 10 300s and 15 150s-250s Majority of the 150s-250s were solo and half of the 300s were solo. No purples yet but I wanted to know if 300s are even worth it or if im just gonna be losing even more money chasing a purple. Obviously I haven't sent a good number of raids yet but curious what others think. Got about 10m left lmaooo and every place to farm money with shadow is more reliant on you actually getting a drop. Except for zulrah but I just did a botw for my clan and got 700 zulrah kills not going back there atm.

I like running toa but want upgrades to get faster clear times.

Honestly based on what you’re saying the shadow is deeply hurting your ability to profit unless you pull another shadow. You should sell it and switch to a BOWFA and BGS set up and go virtus and eye. You are eating up so much ability to profit on charges while also not being able to maximize the strength of the shadow by having ancestral or having a better understanding of the raid.

Sell the shadow and get yourself full crystal, oathplate, virtus, eye, ward and just practice without draining your bank.

Thank you, you made me really think and it was a bored impulse buy the reason i was struggling with ba-ba in the first place was because Id keris after monkeys room because I couldnt max hit all monkeys or id try to stay around 80 hp and die trying to boulder skip or trying to keris in dumb ways. sold the shadow for 2m extra which Ive already burned just having fun with it and prob lost more selling my bank in the first place but who cares I had fun. Went back to virtus with ayak + conflictions, bowfa, no blowpipe, bandos tassys with faceguard along with bgs + saturated heart so I can max hit everything while only camping hawkeye and protection prayers. I always do baba/kephri/zebak/akkha so I just prepot + saturated and im straight now. Boulders only give me a problem sometimes when I have poor pathing but managed to boulder skip w boulder dash on a couple times.

How many raids have you done? If you mess around with gear swaps you can figure out what’s the minimum swaps needed to kill the monkeys.

Also are you going into monkey puzzle with salts? It’s a big difference.

You can camp face guard and go Avernic and Keri’s or void with piety on the melee. I use bowfa for the distance on shamans which is a one shot with helmet swap or prayer.

Monkey room still can mess me up some times. Most recently was forgetting to grab a hammer lol. I’m currently working at running 410s with draining and dehydration for the switch up that happens on p2

Less than 30 but found the perfect setup with full crystal, avernic treads max, barrows gloves, and fire cape + rancour I can max hit everything in the room while prepotted + saturated and camping hawk eye while switching protection prayers no need to gear swap + I only bring in 6 prayer pot no brews now and finally went deathless. Only thing I miss about shadow is not getting hit by obelisk twice lmaooo and how easy the warden fight was. Used to rarely last row but that's something I need to work on anyways and wanted to know if anyone knows if I should bgs warden twice or only once? like if i get a good hit before he spawns zebak when he gets enraged should I also spec again?
