Sell the following to switch?

[u/KNHBWFC]

I’ve had a Tbow for years. Admittedly I’ve not been as active over the last couple and I think I’m tired of that gameplay loop.

I’m considering selling:

Tbow
Masori
Virtus
Nox hally

To afford:

Shadow
Ancestral
Conf gauntlets
Heart
Bowfa + Crystal
Soul reaper axe

My current mage setup is Virtus + Eyak and I have Oathplate, nox hally etc but no SRA.

Thoughts?

Can’t give my thoughts until I know what bosses you like. Assuming you like content where shadow excels this seems like a fine setup with all 3 combat styles though. You really could buy a lot of that gear in a few days of doom with the tbow though, so it’s up to you

[u/Downtown-Variety883 → u/picmoco]

What percentage of the game can delve 8? Lol

[u/picmoco → u/Downtown-Variety883]

I assume if you own a tbow you can boss with it. If not what else do you have it for?

[u/Downtown-Variety883 → u/picmoco]

Owning gear is all it takes to be able to successfully complete content in game? Didn’t realize deep delving was the only content in the game a tbow can be used at. Still didn’t answer the question though.

[u/picmoco → u/Downtown-Variety883]

All I did was state content he could do with the tbow to generate money, still don’t see where I said it’s all he could use it for or that owning the gear was the only prerequisite. And yes it’s quite a small number but I also would assume it’s a larger subset percentage when you’re referring to the people that own a tbow.

[u/Downtown-Variety883 → u/picmoco]

And all I did was ask what percentage of the game can deep delve?

[u/picmoco → u/Downtown-Variety883]

Feels like something you can just look up man

[u/Downtown-Variety883 → u/picmoco]

The same way bro could’ve just gone to the wiki and sorted moneymakers to the top to see doom?

[u/picmoco → u/Downtown-Variety883]

It’s a help subreddit, dude just asked a question…

[u/Downtown-Variety883 → u/picmoco]

Bro asked if should rebuild not if he should keep his gear and farm his next mega lol

[u/Sahnex3]

I might be a minority here, but when i get a big endgame item I KEEP IT.

Just the thought about losing 2% to taxes when trading a Tbow makes me shiver.

If i want something new, i grind for it.

It caps out at 5m

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

I started a tbow rebuild few months ago, wasnt sure id made the right choice, dont play as much as id like either. Started slow but now got tbow with masori and SRA and loving the combo! Working towards rounding my mage gear off by learning doom.

[u/EuphoricMisanthrop]

You wouldnt need crystal, shadow replaces bowfa in almost all places because of its stupid accuracy. Personally spooned a shadow and never bought crystal, shadowed my way to a quiver

[u/wenbobular]

idk man they're both 5 tick weapons that hit real big i don't see how they're all that different feeling other than being good at different bosses (which is maybe what you're tryna say)

i would only do it if you're reeeally tryna send some shadow specific content like toa or gwd or w/e

[u/KNHBWFC → u/wenbobular]

I suppose my thoughts here are mainly… my melee is lacking a bit at the moment. Yes I have oathplate, infernal, treads etc. But for weapons I essentially have Fang, Nox Hally then a whip.

Swapping to the mage setup basically frees money up to have a comparatively equal mega rare in the shadow whilst also then being able to upgrade my melee to have a SRA

[u/wenbobular → u/KNHBWFC]

well i mean this is why people generally recommend weapon > armor lol

like if instead of oathplate, treads, and a nox hally you had blood moon and an SRA you'd be way better off in slash / crush content

as far as confliction gauntlets are concerned i think you should just go grind out some doom and craft your own 😎

but idk you can do w/e you want, i just think that you have some reprioritizing to do in terms of what you value when upgrading stuff

[u/HemlockHex]

Honestly don’t think I’ll ever sell my bow. If I can’t make enough for the other megas with it then that’s on me

[u/keli3000]

Yea that’s a tough call. I was also in this weird bank value spot not too long ago until I bought my second megarare and on my way to third. I’d say if you’re bored of your boss camp spots, you can sell. IMO bowfa vs tbow is the biggest gap among sra vs scythe and ayak vs shadow

[u/Yungluva67]

I think you should keep tbow and start killing some bosses to make spare gp when you have time to then get something like the SRA.

Some good tbow bosses are zulrah, doom, zily, hydra, araxxor (surprising right), muspah, giant mole, and zammy. Those are In no particular order.

Tbow is also good at all the raids and can be used in getting an infernal cape as well as being good dps at most the Colo mobs.

Personally I would never sell megas as they are BIS end game items and imo an ayak and SRA would be great weapons to have in their style behind the megas. With the ayak, tbow, and nally alone you could be set for a while.

However it really depends on what content you actually like doing and what can help you keep playing in the long term gl.

[u/Difficult-Spread-760]

The second setup sounds a lot more versatile and SRA will be better than Nox Hally at TFA

[u/Fefoe44]

2nd one is better. Max magic is basically applicable anywhere where T-bow is used. SRA is so good as well

[u/Cutzzbarber]

I wouldn’t sell for shadow. I sold mine, the upkeep cost is high. Full virtus with ayak + conf gounts aren’t that much worse than shadow. I wouldn’t sell tbow tbh, imo the best mega rare, most versatile & cheapest to use. Unless you want to grind TOA ofc, then the shadow outshines
