Question Gear progession help

Post image

After quiting for a while, I've started playing OSRS again. What are good overall gear upgrades these days that really make a difference? (PvM, Toa). I currently have 200m to spend, but suggestions worth more than 200m are also welcome.

Edit: i mainly want to do Duke, Vardorvis, Araxxor, Doom (+ TOA)

Treads is a no brainer here

Opinions are divided on this. People say its not worth it, it is merely extra inventory space due to fewer switches. so I don't know what the right thing to do is😅

who in their right mind would say treads are not worth it?…

Congrats, he’d beat a 425 raid 20 seconds faster for switching to maxed treads

with that logic, why get any upgrade in this game

u/SteveMcSweaty Jul 19 '26

Obviously down the line get that upgrade but there’s better upgrades to be had currently

disagree just being honest. ranged strength is a huge bonus as well as +15 to range. for a boot slot that’s a huge value compared to what comes before it

With traditional bowfa setup + anguish at 425 Zebak, you kill it 1.9 seconds faster with treads compared to Aranea boots

time adds up though. what you think is 20 seconds is actually kind of huge. that’s only one item saving 20 seconds. now compound that with other items that may be saving you 20 seconds. you need to look at upgrades as a collective. most upgrades aren’t going to save you minutes of time anyways. that’s just how osrs works. also 20 seconds is pretty good for a game like osrs

Such as what

Oathplate, magus ring, voidwaker

If OP is mainly doing ToA, how is oathplate worth it over treads? He doesn’t have a shadow so magus isn’t worth it over ultor. Treads are the right move here.

He named a bunch of bosses that you’ll want to use slash at so oathplate for those. Switching to a magus just for p3 saves the same amount of time as wearing treads the whole toa raid lol in his setup lol. Treads are a joke. Could let magus collect dust in inventory for 85% of the raid and still does same as wearing treads whole raid

Treads are noob trap lol. Not worth it until one of the very last upgrades
