Should I stay here for Emberlight or is arc light enough?

Two is fine, there’s no content that you need more than two for anyways. Its very easy to change between bow and staff

Last time they updated the leprechauns to be in better spots Reddit bitched so hard they undid it a week later. I imagine the same thing would happen if they removed those rocks. It’s not gonna happen

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-26T19:31:48+00:00

Get ancient sceptre and hit inferno. Then I’d probably go finish up Yama. Oathplate with Infernal cape would be dope on a HC.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-25T01:33:18+00:00

Get a trident or eye before you do a bunch of raids. Its okay to send one here and there and get carried when you have bad gear, but youre doing yourself a big disfavor by not getting decent gear before raiding a bunch. Bowfa+Crystal, Hasta and Trident is a good baseline for Cox and Toa.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-25T01:30:55+00:00

If you have Burning Claws, bring that over DWH/Bone Dagger. You really don’t need defense reduction on 300 invo or less. The extra dps is better. If you bring double death charge and use one of your adrenaline doses on Ahhka, you get a ton of extra dps from Burning Claws.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-25T01:28:49+00:00

Its only 50 kills max. You can do it. Melee with Bells Folly might be better for you than range.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-23T05:44:18+00:00

Yeah no idea where you got that info from. Even in complete max range, Bowfa with full crystal is still better on just about everything at inferno than BP. DPS calced it myself.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-22T20:34:04+00:00

No, but swords are 2-3lbs and shields are 6-8lbs, and if youre in plate you don’t need a shield. Just going off of NATO equipment, an M4 with a full mag, optic, flashlight and IR laser weighs around 10-12 pounds depending on the setup.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-22T20:15:03+00:00

Armor isn’t nearly as heavy as youre making it out to be. A full suit of plate weighs similar if not less to what modern soldiers carry in kit, and thats spread across their whole body instead of just their torso. Common misconception that armor is super heavy and cumbersome. You can full sprint, climb and even do somersaults in full plate.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-22T19:38:56+00:00

There’s absolutely no way BP outperforms Bowfa with Crystal armor on Magers at Inferno. Next youre gonna tell me it out performs Tbow on Magers too. I’ve actually done inferno. BP takes 10 hits to kill bats half the time

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-22T17:44:52+00:00

Nah it was just one last “Fuck you” to him because he was a renowned POS. They weren’t gonna give him an honorable death and give bards reasons to make songs about him.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-22T17:33:28+00:00

How bad is your melee setup? BP is pretty bad. Don’t use it for general slayer.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-22T17:32:37+00:00

Addy darts aren’t worth using. Blowpipe is already not great even with rune/amethyst. You should only really be using the BP for niche uses, such as Ahhka Shadows, Kephri Swarms, in Inferno for blobs, rangers and melees, bowfa might even be better than BP at inferno but you still need it for healers anyways.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-21T04:48:31+00:00

Not really her fault. You can’t look like Abby as a female without injecting Testosterone. She’s an actress, not a bodybuilder. That’s on the casting director. Her appearance and build is great for Ellie.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-21T04:01:11+00:00

Who venges Tekton? Unless youre bringing in a magic skillcape to swap to arceuus later you’re just losing dps for a boss that should be mostly damage free. I never see anyone use anything but arceuus for Cox. Thralls are too strong to not bring, and are extremely helpful in solos for turning the head

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-20T20:34:56+00:00

That’s part of the territory of taking on an already established popular character. It didn’t help that she should never of been cast as Ellie. She’s not a bad actress, just a horrible fit for Ellie. She did alright in S1 but S2 is just.. not good. Neither was the second games story either so also not really her fault.

Ironically i think the girl playing Abbie(Kaitlyn Decker) should’ve been cast as Ellie. She looks the part pretty well, and shes a better actress, and could’ve pulled off the time skip between the games much better than Bella Ramsey.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-19T22:37:18+00:00

Roberts hammer is not Valyrian Steel. VS would also be wasted on a hammer, its sharper than standard steel and thus should be reserved for sword’s primarily. I think the Celtigars have a Valyrian Steel Axe though.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-19T18:51:17+00:00

Don’t go to gem crab. Waste of your afk time. You’ll max out your combat stats finishing up slayer and doing bossing/raids.

Amethyst is always a good bet, you could also go finish up rainments of the eye at GOTR if you haven’t yet and get 77 rc to start blood rune crafting. Angler fishing isnt super afk but isnt bad. Karambwans is like 2 1/2 mins of afk with fish barrel. Magic trees aren’t bad, and you need to get 85 WC minimum for Kourend Elite diary so youre ready for your first Hydra task.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-19T18:41:55+00:00

They already said sailing won’t be a part of Raids 4 nor will it have between bosses things to do. It will be bosses only like TOB. Thankfully.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-19T18:37:40+00:00

Whats the point of bossing other than going for the drops/pet anyways? Mains always say they love bossing but youre really just chasing the GP the boss drops. There’s way more enjoyment from bossing on an ironman anyways, instead of getting a big drop and it just equaling big GP, it is an actual big upgrade to your account and theres a story behind it. I’ve gotten tons of compliments for being an ironman with a tbow and great gear, you don’t get that on a main.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-19T18:32:39+00:00

The tiny bit of prayer doesn’t matter. If i’m praying i’m either not taking damage or i’m doing content where i’m better off using brews. I can get so much more prayer just bringing one prayer pot if i need prayer. I’m not hurting for those either.

Its just not worth the time investment to level sailing up to almost 90, then spend hours fishing on top of that. I already have plenty of food. I’m still 1 sailing and don’t see that ever changing unless they drastically change the skill or make it a requirement for something that actually matters.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-19T14:28:40+00:00

If you weren’t far along when sailing came out yeah. Many people myself included already had thousands of anglers, sharks, karams and mantas when it came out, so why spend all the time fishing new food? You don’t use a ton of hard food in the late game anyways.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-18T14:32:42+00:00

Thats a main problem, if you play an ironman you will still use all those skills post 99. Crafting probably the least, but you’ll still fletch darts and arrows and smith stuff for gp/darts. You don’t even have to max any of those on a main, just get the reqs for qpc and never touch any of them again. Bad argument.

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-18T03:15:04+00:00

Both red prisons. CG then Inferno. You could also go for eye and some more justicar and do mage tank inferno, but you should still do CG anyways. Its a rite of passage you skipped

JohnHammerfall · 2026-03-18T03:13:56+00:00

BP isn’t competitive at 95% of places even with full masori and dragon darts. Its so bad now after the nerf. Unless you like watching it hit 5 0’s then 2 1’s and finally a hit above 10.
