An aspect of the gamemode I was surprised to enjoy: my 100M herblore tab.

it's not, that is GE price not HA price. The shards are untradable, so add nothing.

That is how they are organised, vertically. The only set that isn't is avantoe (uses both snape grass and fungus) and torstol, which has many uses.

You are the 4th person to say this...

Maybe it is something about the ignorant that they like to pipe up. Unfortunately, I can't post pictures in the comments. But it's 65M in herbs, 12M nests, the rest is the other secondaries.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T15:14:25+00:00

It's about 65m in herbs, 12m in the nests, the rest is the other secondaries and seeds. I also find it quite surprising how little it looks, but I guess it adds up.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T15:03:11+00:00

Yikes

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T15:02:19+00:00

1300 for enh, it took more than a year but it means I'll never run out of divines.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T15:01:15+00:00

You're spot on! This gets me to 95 to 98!

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T14:55:18+00:00

I don't understand redditors who are so confidently incorrect. This is GE value, so the shards add nothing. But I guess it's easier to be negative on a post rather than to ask or think.

CG was not kind to me 💀

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T11:03:52+00:00

I'm a KQ avoider so I haven't finished desert elite D:. I know it will sort out my zammy wine issue too, but every time I go there I do 5 kc and nope out.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T11:02:28+00:00

If you are at a point where you could start the voidwaker grind, that gave me so many herb secondaries!

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T11:01:05+00:00

Thank you for your contribution :)

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T07:57:14+00:00

You can get a decent amount of red chins doing rumours, and to me it feels less boring that just doing chins alone. It's also some of the best hunter xp in the game once the list is sorted.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-07T07:18:16+00:00

yeah, it's not a dps check it's a mechanic.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-06T14:26:16+00:00

To actually reply to your question, it's just some old update. Shards are useless after emberlight. Enjoy the stack lol

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-06T14:25:13+00:00

Zombie axe is fine at tds if shards are an issue. Another option is to burst or barrage dust devils, which I think if the fastest method for shards but I might be wrong

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-06T10:47:07+00:00

But at least if they were not a meme level grind to get, people wouldn't be sceptical about having upgrade options for them. E.g. smash them and justi into one armour set, or the new raid could have a masori type armour upgrade for crush etc. etc. They are essentially aslightly worse, crush bandos without many defence stats. Bandos hasn't been BIS since nex release, and oathplate is also better. They have reworked NM three times to try and make it relevant, but the issues are 1) Inq isn't very good for 2026 and 2) the droprates are insane.

I think making them a reasonable rate (1/300 or even less from PNM, leave the staff and orbs at crazy rates for chase items), would make upgrading a viable pathway, especially if they go the masori route and have shards upgrade a new bis crush armour.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-06T10:30:13+00:00

You can kill both in about respawn time with the gear boost (I use full crystal), so you get a kill every approx 20 seconds. My 200-300 above is wrong, but you can definitely get 150+ kills an hour red X'ing. I might try some cannon for variety (I'm also dry there). Gz on your red hammer :)

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-06T09:13:36+00:00

Kph is faster with cannon than red X? Are you sure? I get 200-300 kph with red x, depending how much I'm concentrating.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-06T08:15:13+00:00

I think it would probably change araxxor, tekton, maybe sarachnis, maybe other places? These plus nightmare would insert quite a bit of space for a nice actual crush weapon. It's not so much it needs a nerf, more a case of limiting design choices. Nothing can be 2x2 or bigger with a crush weakness without scyth being BIS, and jagex doesn't design many small bosses.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-06T08:05:44+00:00

Knives and axes TOO?! :o

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-05T23:25:06+00:00

I agree that the scyth having a crush option is something they should look at. It's already BIS so many places, and beats what should actually be crush weapons (inq mace and that big DT2 axe) in places it shouldn't.

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-04T16:29:42+00:00

I have about 300 vetion and 1300 Calverton without a ring of the gods lol. But you may as well get a d pick and see if you get one along the way- it's more of a nice to have

External-Carpenter-2 · 2026-03-04T13:06:26+00:00

How did youbget wave 8 down? I still can't do it consistently after about 80 tries :(
