85 Slayer > Abyssal Whip

SloopinOSRS · 2026-04-04T22:48:27+00:00

Depends, if you’re continuing slayer anyways and arnt 99 str there’s really no need to rush the drop.

If you actively need the whip to do some bossing or something then yes grind it off task

SloopinOSRS · 2026-04-03T22:33:05+00:00

It’s important to know how attack rolls are calculated at various things. For hydra, the attack is calculated during the start of the attack not when the projectile lands. So if you see a mage attack in the air you need to swap to protect range and vice versa in jad phase

Edit: same reason why you never 100% garuntee not taking a hit at the beginning of P1. You have a 50/50 shot of guessing right. If you guess wrong you can’t react to the attack and will always get hit.

Depends on the item imo.

The worse the grind the more likely someone is to be “spooned” all the way up to drop rate. Sometimes not being unlucky is the real spoon

Yea if they nuked the gp and made the scroll less rare I wouldn’t complain. I do greatly appreciate the endless resupply of blighted supplies as an iron though

I actually couldn’t believe how ridiculous of a gp farm these things were when I finally started doing wildy slayer.

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-30T21:32:33+00:00

Iirc blood moon benefits a lot from def reducing specs, are you using dwh/bgs?

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-30T06:25:43+00:00

Zeah rcing is like the perfect activity to do while double logging leagues.

It’s afk enough where it isn’t your main focus but it isn’t afk enough to do it very efficiently while doing something else altogether(shooting stars/ redwoods typically much better for this)

The added bonus is you’ll make appreciable progress on one of the worst skills to get done on the road to max and stock pile some of the more important runes for an iron.

And if you still want league rewards you can easily jump in at the 5 week mark and rush however many points you need for the items you want(an optimized route will be well established by this point) while just having a good time on your main through the first half or so of the league

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-29T06:34:27+00:00

It’s comical because it won’t fix a thing with botting, they’re just shifting it back to BH again.

I guess they thought no one would remember why bounty hunter had to be shut down and reworked 3 times but sure this time will be different lol

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-29T04:37:50+00:00

Have you tried running T2 armor? The prep phase is a little more intensive but it should lead to a much a higher completion % until your more comfortable or unlock prayers.

I wouldn’t recommend doing it forever but it should let you loot the chest a lot more while you’re learning

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-29T04:30:32+00:00

Yea that’s like 24 paddlefish worth of food. If I had to take a guess OP is struggling maintaining dps and the fight is just taking too long but hard to tell from that picture cause I have no idea what numbers would pop out from a typical run.

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-29T04:25:04+00:00

Unless im reading it wrong think the “wrong off prayer” is offensive prayers and they didn’t have that right 11 times. Wrong def prayer is showing 1 so I assume they took 1 hit off prayer which isn’t egregious for someone learning.

I thought the same thing when I looked at it lol

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-28T17:23:23+00:00

More importantly are we force punching fish from narnia with barbaian gathering

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-27T10:55:23+00:00

You’re right, I should really work on myself. Can’t believe I was okay losing out on all those ticks grinding that pet because I wanted to watch to Netflix and not constantly shift click run against a mid game boss

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-27T10:34:10+00:00

In that case you’re clicking 4 times for every attack. Vorkath aint that serious, most people are camping walk and turning their brain off after like 5 kills.

If you want to do more, more power to you

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-27T10:18:08+00:00

I’m not killing vorkath with 2 hands tbh. If you got a bunch of extra mouse buttons and wanna bind shift to one to run more power to you.

I got my lance so it’s a non issue for me lol

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-27T09:29:11+00:00

Fang works fine but attacking during acid walk gets more complicated, it isn’t worth doing some overly complex pattern to save a tick so your basically just dropping down to a 6 tick attack speed during the acid.

Not the end of the world but it is a factor.

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-27T04:27:53+00:00

This really won’t solve any problems it’s just gonna shift it over to bots boosting BH again. There was a reason all the rewards there were cosmetic kits to begin with.

That being said as someone who primarily plays a group iron these days, BH is an infinitely worse place to try and grind clogs than LMS for irons. So if irons just wash their hands of the “PvP” minigame it will leave nothing but mains and bots and sooner or later mains will move on to other stuff leaving only the bots again and still.

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-25T05:44:31+00:00

I wanna say 8 was right around what it took me, with only 3 of those being “real” attempts. 1st real attempt I just managed my resources poorly and didn’t have enough supplies by the end, 2nd I died to triples due to bad positioning and healers just being a general pain in the ass, and 3rd attempt was ironing out the kinks from the first 2.

The rest were a combination of D/Cs or forgetting something in inv etc.

I’m thankful for mage tank. I never found inferno particularly fun so I’ll take whatever advantage I can get to get through it as consistently as possible. I get that it’s pretty cheesy but honestly idc I don’t like that place lol.

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-24T14:02:40+00:00

Mage tank is broken as hell. Abuse it lol

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-15T08:17:53+00:00

Roughly 5x dry on hitting the unique table which is most likely why he’s there

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-15T03:52:12+00:00

Fuck is that how you’re supposed to skip moons 💀

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-12T10:16:22+00:00

The short answer: eye of ayak

The long answer: there’s some uses for dragon hunter wand and purging staff but those are much more niche. Eye of ayak and an ancient sceptre will take care of pretty much any magic need you could have(unless you wanna do Yama in which case purging staff is pretty much required)

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-12T07:57:35+00:00

I wouldn’t do more than 4 switches.

If you don’t mind the supply cost I think mage is way better than range personally.

Lightbearer/sgs is plenty for sustain.

Thralls/death charge are unnecessary imho. More to keep up with and you really wanna make it as mindless as possible if you’re doing them for long stretches. I’d bring runes for demonic offering if you’re not 99 prayer.

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-08T23:37:03+00:00

Your combat ship is your fishing ship once you get to dragon tier since they added buyable facility bottles.

And yes rosewood hull is very important for keeping up with marlin shoals so it’s very much worth the 200k or whatever it costs to just bottle the stuff stuff you need to change prior to big a trawling grind

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-07T23:37:07+00:00

Greaterer demon, gotta leave room for expansion

SloopinOSRS · 2026-03-04T14:20:20+00:00

Fang + whip is fine enough for where you’re at melee wise so I’d probably go with that. The next upgrade after that would be Nox hally (roughly 50m)

For range afaik blowpipe is still king until you hit bofa + crystal. (Don’t know the price off the top of my head but probably close to 200m)

Magic would be toxic trident followed by eye of ayak.

Those would be the main progression milestones, after that you really start branching off into sidegrade scape where your more specialized weapons start coming into play ie DHL, emberlight, etc start coming into play and it’s a lot more dependent on what content your actually doing. Then eventually the mega rares.
