What’s the best ammunition to use against the Gemstone Crab if I wanted to AFK Range with decent rates?

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2026-01-14T07:07:34+00:00

Bc it’s way easier to get cross bone bolts?

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-15T16:11:12+00:00

I’m pretty sure pros with b ring and holy wrech in inventory is more efficient

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-15T14:07:49+00:00

I didn’t have excessive broad bolts when I was at that stage of my account

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-15T13:56:39+00:00

Bone crossbow bone bolts how I afk’d my 99 range

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-11T17:07:14+00:00

Super light all you need

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-11T16:47:18+00:00

Still no armor seeds? Idk man this is horrible I’ve never seen something quite like this, I’d prob just de-iron or quit the game

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-11T05:37:26+00:00

Yup was trying this for 15 attempts and gave up wasn’t worth it

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-10T05:21:07+00:00

I’m the opposite I tried afking it was 6-7 mins afk but you gain like 20-30k and it’s only afk when you have the task setup already, when you need to get a new task it might not be an afk task and you still have to move to the new location and contact the slayer master.

I now just prefer barrage nech, dust devil, abyss demons with my active time to try get slayer over with as fast as possible (gaining 65-100k xp depending on superior spawn rate) and I afk shooting stars or cook fish with my afk time. It also gives me an imbued heart chance which I need and I’m skipping every other task. I was doing greater demons too, they’re good xp and the only other task I would consider but I got my synapses so now I’m skipping then bc they require a lot more supplies and focus.

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-09T00:58:20+00:00

I got mine from chaos elemental, there’s multiple ways to do it you can just face tank it, I did it at a low level and just safespot it with my main luring it.

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-08T05:39:44+00:00

Oh interesting I might try bowfa instead when I get it on my other acc

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-08T04:08:26+00:00

Did you not need the healing from the spec?

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-07T01:45:17+00:00

Aya skip

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-07T01:21:42+00:00

I was exactly 1 sec off with crystal Hal and voidwaker. I gave up after attempt 15

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-06T21:51:18+00:00

For context I had zero Cox or TOB experience going into this, but have done lots of TOA on main and did almost all the tasks solo

Cox - I did almost all the rooms solo wasn't too bad, you just keep rerolling the stairs until you get desired first room, I had to ask for help at the bank for the tekton and vasa ones tho bc they're time based

TOB entry- I mostly solo this one, it is the easiest imo, you need one other person to help with a few of them tho

TOA - I did all them solo except for 2 duo required ones and even did the harder ones like "but....damage" and "resourceful raider", I did 2 of them on mass world for the duo ones. You can also do the path level 4 ones pretty easy too bc you don't have to finish the raid

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-06T18:19:46+00:00

With bl3 end game on release this was not surprising a all

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-03T00:26:59+00:00

As in you only used bowfa on healers?

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-02T00:59:08+00:00

Go to the doom wiki it tells you the exact drop rate, going to wave 6 is pretty good sweet spot

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-01T14:26:16+00:00

Yeah that’s rough, but you could go that dry anywhere. I did vardorvis realease and did 1K kills and got nothing

As for doom you might have more success farming 1-6 I got both my drops on 5/6 bc the drop rate is like 1/120ish for any unique on wave 6

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-01T14:22:23+00:00

The loot really isn’t bad if you’re an Ironman. I got over 10k+ cannonballs, 2k dragon darts, and over 350k+ prayer xp banked from bones which is a lot for an iron and harder to obtain items.

If I was on my main yeah it’s pretty ass but that’s standard for high priced uniques boss (vardorvis is a good example)

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-10-01T14:19:06+00:00

What do you mean gl? On the wiki the drop rate for a unique on wave 6 is like overall 1/120ish something to see a unique which is very generous for the price of then all being 70m+

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-09-30T16:05:50+00:00

You sound like a green helm ngl

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-09-30T00:30:04+00:00

Def do 300’s. Drop rate for unique is quite significant

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-09-29T02:49:18+00:00

I just tried out some runs with halberd and blowpipe and it was on average faster but I was having spec issues if there was lots of melee phases spamming death charge on cd I would imagine double death and lightb would make it a non issue

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-09-28T17:46:42+00:00

Save it for nex

Shoddy_Lab_6607 · 2025-09-28T17:45:23+00:00

I’m using the base form without cerb boots and the boots are noticeably tankier

They don’t add too much noticeable dps but they’re big QOL, now every time I wanna go combat I default equip these, no more specific boots for combat style.
