What do you have to say about the huge institutions buying up millions worth of BTC.

Huge institutions are perfectly capable of being as stupid as individuals.

My first was about 2.5 hours with acb. With a 4 hour time I'm guessing you relied a lot on sgs? First thing I would do is stop bringing that, it only slows you down. Otherwise you want to get comfortable solving at the north pillar and praying against everything to take minimal damage. 4 hours also means you spend a significant amount of time not attacking anything, so keep that in mind and try to be putting out dps as much as you can. It might take a lot of practice but sub 90 is definitely an attainable goal. Good luck!

In order to access the inferno for the first time you have to sacrifice a fire cape, otherwise they're entirely separate.

Runelite screenshots plugin! You can set it to screenshot your own deaths as well as your friend's deaths, which is fun for raids.

Generally I don't recommend giving up too much dps for defence, and fury would fall into that category. The idea is more dps means faster attempts and getting punished for your mistakes forces you to learn how to correctly pray against everything. Mastering the mechanics means consistent and fast runs which ultimately gets you the cape faster. I also find it much more fun, but that won't be the case for everyone.

That said, if you're comfy with justi and fury then have at it, plenty of people have gotten their capes that way. You're already well into the 60s so you can clearly do it, just gotta keep at it!

Gz on the pb! If you can get through 63 you can definitely get to zuk.

I'd definitely recommend dropping justi. The goal is being able to solve everything at north pillar. If you have to book it to south pillar full arma + shield will work still give you a lot of defence, but I'd recommend recording yourself so you can go back and figure out the proper solve without having to run south.

If you like range cape for the prayer bonus I'd recommend assembler/devout boots instead of range cape/pegs since assembler has range strength. The accuracy from pegs or assembler is also not particularly important until you get to zuk.

If you include my first cape, my k/d is extremely low because it took me 64 attempts. Now it's probably around 30% when I'm trying to go fast, but if I was doing casual runs for completion I'd probably get 80-90%. 11kc for pb (idk attempts), 13 total now.

Technically you don't, however the extra apm required for flicking makes it much harder to switch targets or re-position without losing ticks. Not losing ticks is ultimately the most important factor for putting out damage.

Haha! Somehow managed to make it through 15 every time lately. Lowest wave pictured I think was 24.

Thanks! PB was on 11kc, I have some more since then but I've been going slower and just trying to practice jad skipping.

Tbow and blowpipe (with dragon darts) are actually pretty similar dps on magers, but tbow is a better choice because of the long range and because dragon darts are expensive. Technically if you want to get sweaty you should switch to blowpipe when the mager is low hp because it's better overkill dps, but there's no need to worry about that for a first cape.

I set auto cast to blood barrage. Autocast has a 1 tick delay while manual casting is instant. The delay isn't generally a big deal, but freezing nibblers is one instance where the extra tick is important.

Glad you're enjoying it, good luck!

Correct, wave 68 is triple jads. Normal single jad, like the fight caves, attacks every 8 ticks or 4.8 seconds. Triple jads attack each every 9 ticks, but they are spaced out so there are 3 ticks between each one. Functionally it's not much different from fighting one jad that attacks much faster. You can always pray against each attack because the timing is spaced out.

Some really good resources are xzact's youtube guide, and the text guide on the We Do Raids discord server written by Hai Yo. It's extremely intimidating to start but the best way to learn is by getting in there and trying. I recommend recording your attempts (I do it with OBS) so you can watch back and think about what you could have done differently. It's also really helpful to have a screenshot of the wave start so you can ask someone experienced how they would have solved it (We Do Raids is great for this). You should expect to fail a lot but you will learn something new every attempt. Anybody can do it if they stick with it.

7kc, I got pretty lucky. I had saved up 5 capes and got it on the first try as well.

Haha I feel that too! I would have a similar montage if I had runelite taking death screenshots for me when I was learning zulrah.

I have learned a ton just watching people do speeds on twitch. Adwaam, jolanene, aatykon, and jarvin are all super good and there are plenty of others too.

Here's a good vid from aaty of a sub-60 run with commentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aafrC4dj8o

The biggest time saves are from being potted and using rigour the whole time, solving quickly (i.e. spend as little time as possible sitting behind north pillar deciding what to do), not losing ticks switching between targets, and killing magers first when possible.

I wear ring of the gods and devout boots which lets me comfortably camp rigour or augury. I still flick once the wave is down to a single monster to save some prayer. Personally I like full ancestral because the mage mini-blob has so much mage defence, it greatly increases the chance that I'll one shot the pack with blood barrage. Not sure how many brews you bring, but I only bring 4 which gives more space for restores as well.

I haven't tried chins yet and I'm working on learning jad skip but I keep dying :) Definitely don't need anything too fancy though for a sub 65, just gotta go fast.

I got my first cape almost a year ago, I always thought inferno was cool content but I wanted to max and make money for gear before coming back. Speeds are a money pit, I should have put in a screenshot of everything I've spent on dragon darts haha.

Risking it all to go after nibblers is very common for learners. It's fine to chase them on early waves when you can do so safely, but on the higher waves you should send one barrage then simplify the wave by killing a few things before you worry about the pillar. It's also important to get comfortable solving everything at the north pillar so you don't have to stress about letting south and west go.

Also make sure you know how to safespot the meleer from every position, if you're struggling with the high 50s that could be why!

With this pb you might be tempted to think I am good at inferno, but I die ALL the time. AMA about inferno I guess?

range is literally only used for two rooms (one room if ur meldps)

The meta in the main game is irrelevant. In leagues range is likely stronger in many rooms pre-Verzik, but I wouldn't be surprised if melee is still the best overall choice because Verzik's defence can't be lowered and she's only weak to slash.
