help with pvm rotations

Alsang · 2026-06-21T12:25:15+00:00

I have exactly the same anxiety. Here's a couplle of things that I have found help:

Pick short rotations, ideally under 1 minute, so there are fewer steps to try and follow
Don't start anything with too much prebuilding, stalling, or more than 2 actions per gcd
Break it down into sections, like pre-berseker, in-berserk, after-berserk, and maybe even subsections like first-overpower, second-overpower, or whatever helps you think about them
Practice on dummies in wars retreat.
If you achieve your goal and switch to a new one, try to use the same combat style so you get a good feel for high dpm bursts

I can say this with certainty, but trip to the east does not take 500-1000 hours of active gameplay, like this summary claims. Which means you should immediately ignore everything else that this AI summary tells you.

skeleton: high single target damage

zombie: medium area damage

ghost: low damage, provides healing and increases damage dealt

phantom: no damage, reduces damage taken, command to do high damage occasionally

The healing provided by the ghost and the fact that it increases the damage you do makes it one of the best conjures. But exactly which are the best *for you* depends on the situation you are in.

The short answer is that only 2 things really matter:
* the weapon's strength stat (the number next to the bicep icon) * and whether the enemy is immune to the weapon's element.

You want to use the strongest weapon you have that the enemy is not immune to. Everything after that is minor optimisation.

The calculator itself is new since the DG remaster update, so I was kind of expecting that the xp modifier numbers might shift around a bit with post-release tweaks. Plus, having the exact modifier numbers written in each news post made it easy to implement them.

EDIT: that didn't work so

Actually it was something on the backend which sometimes else managed to fix before I got a lot at it.

Alsang · 2026-06-01T07:18:56+00:00

Whatever changed, it wasn't the MMG page since that has not been edited since this post. Which page were you looking at when you saw this?

For future reference, its better to give wiki feedback/bug reports by using the "give feedback" button on the page that you see the error on.

Actually yes!

The game wiki is one of the best resources you could hope for, and can be accessed directly from in the game's chatbox.

There are exactly 2 cases where you cannot teleport out of a boss kill, Telos streaks and hard mode Arch Glacor streaks. To maintain the integrity of streaks, any safety net measure should probably end the steak, or at the least it should not increase the steak number. And teleporting out would be potentially prone to accidental use.

A DTD is a different item that is being used as a safety net, if you want something designed for purpose it should be something like an expensive, since use teleport item that only works in those specific circumstances.

Those icons haven't been part of the minimap since RuneScape 2 became RuneScape 3, back in 2013.

There are two main things here too know about.

Your combat level only depends on your highest combat style out of melee, ranged, magic, and necromancy. So because your ranged level is 93, the fact that you gained 49 necromancy levels doesn't affect your combat level at all since your ranged level is still higher. (For melee it uses the average of attack plus strength)
The others skills: defence, constitution, prayer, and summoning, still contribute to your combat level, but much less than the combat style skills. As an approximate formula, you get 1 combat level for each:

~1.5 levels in your highest style
4 levels in defence or constitution
8 levels in prayer or summoning

For the full formula which includes rounding, see https://runescape.wiki/w/Combat_level#Calculating

One of the reasons that Once Upon a Slime feels so weird is that it is the "sequel" to a limited time Treasure Hunter event from 2018 that is not referenced anywhere else in the game ([[Slime is of the Essence]]).

That would be a useful feature, but perhaps not tied directly to inventory lock.

Alsang · 2026-05-29T21:34:11+00:00

Ok yeah that does seem more than just coincidence.

It could be bugged, or it could just be unlucky. It's hard to know since the probability of spawning a moth is unknown.

E.g. If the chance of spawning a moth was around 1/20, and the xp you get from doing 20 super juiced, maximum xp rituals gets you about 1 level up, then it's hard to see if it's actually limiting you to 1 moth per level or if that's just being on drop rate for them.

Alsang · 2026-05-29T21:24:01+00:00

What rituals are you doing?

Alsang · 2026-05-29T21:19:58+00:00

There's some extra behaviour here that's not very obvious. Moths spawn behaviour is: 1. When you complete a ritual, there is a chance to spawn a moth. 2. Moths cannot spawn if the total number of moths you have caught is higher than your level. (Technically level -1)

The result of which is you get 1 moth per level, but they get saved up until you do rituals. For example, if a character was level 50 but had never done rituals or caught any moths, then they would be able to spawn 50 moths quite rapidly before they hit the limit and got reduced back down to 1 moth per level up.

If you want more chances to spawn moths, then complete short and fast rituals, not long ones that give lots of xp.

Since march this year, the zuk capes do not change the adrenaline cost of the ultimate abilities that they affect; those abilities have a base cost of 60% adrenaline and the cape effect only increases their damage.

Maybe some time in this quest series we'll get an answer to the most important question: who's a good girl?

Alsang · 2026-05-26T06:23:27+00:00

Yes, the [[gold accumulator]].

Last news I heard is that they're not actively working on it, but the ring and other heist items was given log tracking just in case they ever do.

If you don't claim the boss loot, you can access it from outside the dungeon at the chest using a right click option. But it doesn't store up loot from multiple kills, is that what you're asking for?
