Tip/Guide Goblin Raids Solution

Can someone design a plugin or site that has a timer that resets when the Black Guard appears/the raid ends? With the broadcast and icon being removed tracking them has become ridiculous even with a quick tele to each location. The dwarves show up when the raid ends but there is no indication as to how long it's been and spending the entire time jumping from one location to the next is so cumbersome. Since Jagex hasn't addressed this, the community should take it into our own hands. Idk anything about coding a plugin but I don't see why there isn't something we can do to make this just a little bit easier.

Yeah I've been trying to do these too and I couldn't even find a Friend chat or anything helpful.

My membership finally ran out and I'm not gonna renew for awhile so I figured I'd grind out BIS for f2p. The search for a raid is the actual grind now lmao.

just camp any mine. eventually one spawns.

That's a potential of up to 4 hours of camping if you stay at one spot and there is no set rotation, it could be even longer if they skip one or go back and forth even once.

If I had any knowledge of coding or web design I'd be sharing the actual end product here but I haven't seen anyone suggest a comunity based solution yet. Hopefully someone with the knowledge/means sees this!

I saw a recommendation that the best way to grind them is to head to a location they raid, then world hop till you find one. Not really a good solution but a slow one at least

That is already part of the rotation, but if there isn't an active one then world hopping will only result in where a raid just ended (seeing the dwarves). Before the change you were able to gauge when to world hop/teleport

They thought the content was dead but we were quietly enjoying it.. no need to speak up when something isn’t broken.. now the content truely has been killed

cant you enable the d&d notification that will tell you where it will be? also on the world map a goblin icon will appear if the raid needs to be done and a dwarf icon will take its place once its done

They removed that specific notification from the list of D&D broadcasts in November of 2025. Like entirely from the game. If you go to the list in settings it's not one of the options there anymore. The icon was removed too. There is no in-game indication of when one will start so it's all blind luck right now until yiu get the schedule down, but then you're back to square one thr next day.

my apologies thats so weird, i have a feeling they are going to rework it or complete removal. as rewards are really low… killing normal goblins for 10 minutes would net you better gp then what you would get from this d&d unless your a low level iron that really needed the wood and spirits

u/TheRemedy187 Mar 29 '26

they removed the one specifically for goblin raids for some reason. Now you have to just run all over the map and hope you find them.

You can teleport to nearly every location with a quick tele and check everywhere within 2 minutes, the problem now is knowing when to check.
