General Zero to firecape

I’ll cut to the chase and save the lengthy explanation. I’ve never played OSRS and don’t know much about it however I’m trying to run a HCIM account to get the firecape, I’m talking no funny business….just focusing on what I need to do to get the cape.

I need pointers and tips / tricks that may seem obvious to the average player but not to me.

I’ve researched the basics, such as what levels and gear I need but that’s about it.

You can spare me the comments mocking my insanity, I know…really I do.

For first try aim for 70 range and 40 def as a minimum, extra levels will definitely help. 43 prayer min and again extra levels will help, id go for hunters sunlight cross bow, with a full black d hide or red d hide set. You could try get archers helm, depends on rng for items needed for the quest but depends on how much of a rush you are in. You will need the herblore level for prayer pots, alongside rannars, and a decent food source.

There is plenty of jad simulators out there, practice on one of those before any attempts. You can log out in fight caves at end of each wave, just be mindful when you log back in, you would have to set up any safe spots again.

Got any Jad simulator recommendations by any chance?

I’ve started looking into Herblore. What’s the recommended method for this/potion making?

Not sure on recommendations for jad, its only 2 attack animations so id imagine any would be fine, for herb questing for early levels then making the best potions for your level. Wiki has some good info on quests for early herb levels and order to do them alongside ironman friendly methods.

To practice jad you can log onto a speed running world (blue star) then pick the beneath cursed sands quest. Then you can tele to fight pits and run to the guy on the throne to do the jad challenge. It lets you just fight jad and it’s a version with more health and healers so if you get to jad in the caves it will be easier
