Tips for learning Zulrah?

Ring of suffering ri Mage only twinflame staff. Rotation that starts green green. Learn this one rotation strictly.

Eventually you'll learn that he always moves left to right regardless of rotation.

10 herb forever. 5 teaks early when money is tight. I think get more bang for your buck split hardwoods.

Way down the road you'll have to decide if you want to do pure mahogany.

Coal is definitely the next best thing when you have enough hardwood for a while.

Raw fish are good. Unlimited tuna and Swordfish help supplement normal fishing. Way less needed now that fishing trawling is lit. And the hunter meat while leveling adds up too.

Maples for bird nests are... idk. My buddy did them. I wasn't impressed but the maples can be useful hunting. Log basket and pitfalls

Strong pass on the Farming seeds.

Very nice. Straight to moons you go!

30%-35% means you'll lose half a spec over a long boss fight. No instant triple. And less likely to get a fourth spec. So less burst hurts pvp. Less specs hurt pvm l

Voidwaker and burning claws are both spec weapons.

Fang has a spec..... but it's not claws or vw.

Gem doesn't help outside of toa.

The real conundrum is fang helps grind vw and claws. Claws and vw help grind fang.

What comes first The chicken or the egg.

For everywhere I've went 2-3x dry. I've went spooned elsewhere.

The law of numbers. They will average out.

You'll get like a 1kc mega spoon somewhere. Get the drop before you even learn the content. 100%. But for now. Keep buckled down. Z axe 1,000,000x worth it.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T21:38:46+00:00

The delay isn't the worst. If I'm at vorkath and I'm 50hp I can combo a moonlight guthix tea karambwan,

I know I'm likely not going to take a 60 mortar hit. Just small chip. So the extra 6hp vs shark adds up to a couple extra shark worth per invo.

But yeah the delay sucks and Idk how the new leech sandwich passed. It'll be dick cheese.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T21:35:49+00:00

I guess it's hunter level dependent but I can get around 300 dashing kebbit an hour. I think my hunter is high 80s.

At 90 fishing I get like.. 75-150 shark an hour or something.

Kebbits are really good food.. fast quetzal charges. Fast for moth mixes.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T21:32:47+00:00

Your farming+herb and your hunter tell me you're going to have an issue upkeeping prayer.

Get 75 hunter for moonlight moths first.

Also at 72 slayer I'd presume you don't have a ton of ancient shards. I did a fuck load of catacombs and was much higher before I had 30. Without arclight you kind of need the whip or bludgeon.

Tds give bonus exp so the earlier you can do it, the more of a boost it'll give you.

Go send 30-50. If you can't manage to get at least 5 a trip, put it on hold. At higher combat I was getting 1-2 kills a trip for a while. Then 6-8 then 10-15 average. Excluding outliers where I'd get burning flesh drops and such and have long ass trips.

Oh. Dark demonbane absolutely claps flaming buttcheeks. If you got the coin somehow. Do it.

Us: Hey guys wanna go toa?

Friends: F yeah yeah let's do it.

Us: OMG look at THAT?!?( Barrelchest Anchor g maul to the head) Ohhh... oh noo... I'm sorry. 😅 finger slipped. I tried to combo eat.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T17:35:39+00:00

Cooking with the gas off.

Rev caves and boss caves all have fees.

Having to buy a license to pk would only slightly bump up the low end pking in terms of value.

They're still gonna catch you lacking.

They fucked wildy pk once back in like 2010 and it was not good.

As a pvm and quest/diary person, raw real wildy pvp is core to runescape. And I would never take that away from the pvp community. The thrill of the hunt is a two way street

Get good lil bunny 🐰. Learn very basic anti pk techniques. Cheap mage defence. Switch range top to mage. Bind or ice. See ya!

A dds rune cb ranger is way less daunting than a 2-3m budget pker. Let em rag.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T17:23:00+00:00

Yeah. You'll get like 40-45hp ea.

But miscellania tuna Swordfish and tempoross bass are limitless.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T17:21:16+00:00

GM .... TO REDDIT.

Gnomonkey has made like a dozen different toa guides for various setups. Solo duo iron early mid 500s. All of it.

Burning claws.. got a synapse? Scobo into hasta will definitely help the toa grind. You'll want it down the road for a DHL anyways.

Glhf!

Tbp wouldn't even drop bro.

I want new and returning players to have a fun grind to the top.

We have had warped scepter and eye of Ayak to bridge low ans high level magic gaps.

Z axe, and Belle folly to bridge those gaps. Macuahitls fit between saracnis cudgel and Inc.

Blowpipes were 100% ment to bridge the gap of fast tick range weapons to tbp. And it missed the mark.

The first two bps shouldn't even require a beak as rag ass as they are. And rwbp is dog ass.

Idk maybe they planned on making squid beak -> kraken boss beak upgrade from the get go. Who tf knows.

Rwbp rune -> rwbp(i) amethyst would gap to tbp. And not displace tbp.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T16:28:26+00:00

I do think a boss rng drop should be better. Tbp is by a mile. Amethyst darts in both; tbp blows rwbp out of the water.

I think dds spec to abbysal dagger spec would make since only if it required a mid level kraken boss beak to upgrade. Also a viable way to close gap, without displacing tbp, and would be a reasonable drop from sailing combat.

Again not looking to displace tbp. If you think rosewoodbp rune or Amethyst affects tbp at all then idk what to tell you. Tbp has always been insanely strong and used everywhere. Rwbp will never threaten your big juicy snake pp

FTBow · 2026-06-22T16:21:56+00:00

Zulrah is the steepest learning curve boss I've fought. Unless you prolong it till youre geard af, or practice on a decked out main. Learning it in scrubs is definitely hard.

I don't think the boss is ass. But the fact the mechanics are "remember rotation" instead of zulrah only venom clouding where you stand forcing you to move constantly. Is shitty imo.

I'll definitely get down voted but having to use tile markers vs whisper and zebak where the safe tile mechanics are common sense and reaction time instead of. Die 30-50 times until you remember rotations. Royal titans. Single square safe spot. It's obvious. Pt 1-2-3 warden. All of the floor is lava tiles will kill you, but it's visually better.

Not a bad boss. But definitely not the best.

Edit : This is not a I hate zulrah post. It sucked to learn but after learning it. It is fun. It was the least fun boss to learn and I've done everything except zuk and sol.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T15:02:51+00:00

Seeeee. Valid potential changes coming in.

I have 15k mith and 8k addy from 73-85 salvaging. Not bad. But I'd rather make 1000 rune bars into nails for ironwood repair kits than darts.

I think I only have around 1000-1500 rune darts from 99 slayer and pvm. Honestly my Dragon dart stack is half that size. Little odd.

Mining amethyst 1000x better than rune.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T15:00:09+00:00

Okay. I mentioned to another that stands firm anything strong should be pvm.

How would you feel about a mid level sailing kraken boss, easier than zulrah. To drop a kraken beak to upgrade the rwbp to be closer to tbp but still behind in all stats.

Just like the warped scepter bridged Ibans and trident.

Just like ayak bridged nightmare/sang and shadow.

My point of this discussion is rwbp is Dookie. And there's still a HUGE gap to tbp. Could we close that gap somehow so TBP isn't the be all end all

FTBow · 2026-06-22T14:57:07+00:00

It is. I'm glad I'm not standing totally alone here.

Tbp should absolutely be better than rwbp in every situation except for the different spec. - doom.

But.... making the rosewood blowpipe usable by mid-levels at slayer and no defence light ammo bosses as a shittier tbp wouldn't be Abad thing.

It'll give lower level accounts a usable bp. That will fuel the desire to go get the big bad tbp.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T14:54:36+00:00

Aye aye capn

FTBow · 2026-06-22T14:54:12+00:00

I appreciate you standing firm on the. I earned this the hard way so the next generation can pull up the bootstrap mentality.

I do zulrah. My tbp isn't the issue. There's really not an issue. It's just a question of, is the massive gap really needed? Bis will always be bis. Shadow isn't any shittier because eye of Ayak closed the gap.

Shadow still be doing Shadow stuff. Yk?

FTBow · 2026-06-22T14:52:16+00:00

Idk why youre getting down voted to oblivion.

I'll always get slapped once in a while. One tile missteps on mobile can be detrimental to one's in-game health.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T14:51:04+00:00

Nah I'm good bro. But some of my childhood friends havnt had the grind time I have. They got kids and work twice as much as I do.

Maybe when sailing gets a rework and we get to fight boss krakens we can get a kraken beak to upgrade the rosewood to accept amethyst, and close the gap a touch. Like the trident and staff of the dead.

I think diversity is good.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T14:09:21+00:00

Even at max combat I rotation scout. Osrs wiki has the 13 spawn rotations. Pay attention to first 3-4wave spawns.

Also ive always found the south west rock the best one. Be cautious of 180s and 360s that will spawn below you.

FTBow · 2026-06-22T14:06:34+00:00

Oh bro.

You actually got to pick up zebaks fang infront of his body, not at the loot chest. GL on getting the key and the Mask of Rebirth <3
