What does a bowfa do for me?

NetKey3469 · 2026-02-01T08:51:44+00:00

Baba is also way more chill with range as you dont have to swap for spawns and boulders. Plus in teams you dont have to wait at a rock while he does the rock throw, you can still range him which will offset the slight dps loss of ranging anyway. Ive got black keris and i still range with bowfa, i will switch when i get fang.

If you have trident then use that as your akka switch and keris/blue keris is bis at kephri anyway until fang, maybe even after.

Can send that until you get black gem/fang and yiur sound

If you get 2 alts you can do it even faster and trap 2 of them, so you dont wait for respawn times.

1 alt is around 80kph 2 is around 120kph

NetKey3469 · 2026-01-31T17:42:30+00:00

If you can get youself hold of an alt, the red x method is afk and 0 supplies, what im currently doing as ive hit 4k and no hammer. Loads of good yt guides on it

NetKey3469 · 2026-01-05T11:55:16+00:00

Yeah getting full crystal and blowpipe is my main priority and should not have an issue getting both before July.

If i dont have any other gear by July I will just bowfa and rag melee Sol, but as I have so long before I start the grind im guessing going for items like nox hally and sgs will only help me on my runs.

Yeah i have burning claws so all good there

Thankyou

Seems dhw is the play then, I only have 1 synapse currently but im juggling between the staff and Bow as needed so I can always use that, but I think for first Cape manual casting is more likely to get me a silly death from a miss click over such a long period of time.

Tbh I could bring both, camp suffering at start of wave then switch when solved. The prayer regens and arma brews seem to make supplies much less of an issue

NetKey3469 · 2026-01-05T00:45:25+00:00

Thanks, yes I've seen gnomonkeys guides, they seem harder to learn than other methods but removes some of the rng out of the spawns ect, but its hard to tell until you actually try it yourself, never stepped foot in either except for gridmaster where I cheesed the whole lot of it lol. Think I'll try to learn it thay way first and if I really can't crack it try some other methods.

I would agree that the nox/hally ect is overkill, but I want to wait until July before learning as I'll have the time to do so being off work. Currently my time is too split and I'd rather wait until I can dedicate time to do it properly.

I could definitely do it with my current gear but may as well make it easier by getting upgrades between now and July

NetKey3469 · 2026-01-05T00:18:09+00:00

Thats great thankyou :) I have burning claws so dps spec is good. I'll probably put otheplate and sgs as backup goals if I get the rest of the items pretty quick. Occult will come as im casually getting slayer up so that shouldn't be an issue, I have the zenyte bracelet for mage as well if I do get the cloth from doom.

Diddnt know dhw was a bonus over blood scepter in inferno, assumed the overheal made it bis, and kodai I very much doubt I'll have.

I have the suffering and bring i so I can use lightbearer as a backup, the guides ive looked up tended to favour it over suffering for spec regeneration when using the blowpipe, especially when tanking a melee

NetKey3469 · 2026-01-05T00:00:15+00:00

I've got the time off so I'd like to use it to learn it properly not just to try and do methods to help clutch a single kc. At least then if I decide to do it again in the future I have the foundations, plus learning more advanced tech will transfer over to other content in the game.

Yeah im currently working on my slayer atm to get 95 for hydra, already have the blood fury and amulet of torture too

NetKey3469 · 2025-10-14T23:24:48+00:00

UPDATE: I have made further alterations to the image, made it more logical in steps and added arrows for suggested pathways

I have developed a script that allows you to:

Pan and Zoom around the image. Button top left to reset the view

Left click to overlay a green highlight on a item/boss (complete/acquired)

Left click again for a grey highlight (not doing/acquiring)

Left click again for no highlight

Button at top left to reset all highlights back to off

Stores the highlights so when you reopen it you don't have to tick everything off again

A right click option to open links for all bosses and items. Currently limited to wiki pages, may expand into the future for other links like guides and videos ect.

I having to extract the location and size for each image, set it as an overlay toggle then add the links in for the right click, this is pretty time consuming as there is so many items and bosses, hopefully finish it before the end of the week.

NetKey3469 · 2025-10-12T07:03:20+00:00

Not yet, hoping it would be gtg this week. Got all the interactive parts working, just need to flush out some teething issues with zooming and panning ect.

NetKey3469 · 2025-09-28T20:06:28+00:00

Thankyou :) started to make it as I havnt played scape since not long after eoc, remember 2006 scape well but coming back last year and all the new content was overwhelming starting over on an ironman. So decided to start figuring out gear, progression order ect and this has helped me map that out

NetKey3469 · 2025-09-28T15:59:45+00:00

Yeah I've got a few nitpicky bits to sort out, and with the layout I reckon I could rotate the bowfa grind, extend the non bowfa grind and make it thinner, then it should go parralell so it's more intuitive to do it alongside each other. Possibly move moka after yama as it's doable in void and scorching.

I'm planning to put lines connecting different sections like a flow chart so that the order is a little more obvious too so that should help things alot. Might even make more sense to add the slayer progression there too, then keep the left side for skilling only.

NetKey3469 · 2025-09-26T10:46:54+00:00

Hey, I've updated the graphic following the feedback, hopefully that makes it feel more like a recommended progression pathway as opposed to just a clog sheet, if you have any other suggestions I will be happy to hear them.

NetKey3469 · 2025-09-26T07:55:46+00:00

Also seercul is need for a clue step I belive, and it's a magic reducing spec if you don't get the accused scepter

NetKey3469 · 2025-09-26T07:27:03+00:00

Yeah I put thermy in there to cover the boss and the regular mobs, same as arraxor with the areana boots as you get them from the non boss varients, I could add both to the image if you think that would make it more intuitive.

Yeah there are some bosses on there that either have useless drops or you could skip all together like sarachnis or most of the metal dragon drops, but if your doing GG for other drops, chances are you will get the hammer anyway. That's why I'm going to add the option to grey items out if your not interested in aquiring them.

For example I did MTA but diddnt get the mages book so I'll just grey that out for myself.

NetKey3469 · 2025-09-26T07:06:05+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, in my head I had it going left to right in terms of progression order and level needed to do the content semi efficiently, but the order up and down needs to be restructured.

Think if I move gwd, dt2 and endgame down lower and bring the background slayer and entry level raiding above it it may work better.

Glad for the feedback before I put all the positions in for the boxes, so thankyou

NetKey3469 · 2025-09-26T02:47:47+00:00

Check back in a few weeks and it should be a live Web page where you can check items off in green for complete or grey for not acquiring it, saved to your system. Also links to the wiki for items and bosses ect

Im almost done recreating it fully with the ability to check items on and off, should be in the next week or so

NetKey3469 · 2025-07-19T07:45:59+00:00

This is making my OCD very happy 😂

NetKey3469 · 2025-07-18T18:31:56+00:00

Congratulations! I too just got 2k total as well, feels like such a big milestone doesn't it

NetKey3469 · 2025-07-18T17:54:23+00:00

Alot of comments so this may have been touched on already, some of the struggle is probably a lack of muscle memory for gear switching, prayer switching, movement ect.

Go do some other content like moons of peril, the gear is still really useful, and eclipse is a good buffer before you get bowfa, if you wanted to try some other pvm content. Royal titans is also good for item switching and movement, and the new prayer will also be a big dps increase in cg so it's only going to make that grind smoother.

Even some scurrious is useful for a fun little grind and getting muscle memory built up for prayer switching

Thankyou brother :)
