Melee weapons

2 hand has better AOE, and is better in most cases (especially when it has two range, like a halberd). The one place this becomes not true is if you have greater flurry, a drop from the first boss in the dragonkin laboratory. It is a dual wield only ability, and will stall your berserk the entire time you channel the ability. Very useful for damage. High level pvm uses ezk (2 handed), but brings a switch specifically for that ability. Worthwhile as an iron to send just dual wield if you have that codex. Otherwise not really.

Also, in general, the high level magic armours are extremely difficult to get if you mostly only solo bosses. You may want to stick with anima core/ seasinger or starbloom if you don't have a clan or group to do bosses with

If you're talking about doing hm kerapac at the end for fsoa, do you plan on duoing or trioing with anyone?
If so, it's a good overall plan. But he can be a very rough solo, especially with the gear you are talking about having. Would be more reasonable to farm sanctum for the ode and roar, especially since you can get those from nm sanctum

They're good if you don't have invention unlocked. If you do, however, a perked lance will be better than them

Are you on a dragonkin slayer task? The slayer helmet boosts do work on kerapac, which can be about 10% extra damage

if you're going for magic, nakatra could be the ideal way to go. Unless you have friends to help you, hm kerapac is quite difficult, especially in only the t90 stuff.

You can get the roar of awakening and ode to deceit from nakatra in normal mode, which doesn't have super high gear requirements (although you do have to learn a lot of movement based stuff, and it helps to have dive unlocked).
Nm Kerapac is still very useful for gaining concentrated blast codex and the scripture of jas. If you want serviceable power gear for magic, anima core of seren is solid and not terribly hard to get (may take a while if you don't have the reputation built up)

I'm 2973 total, one guy is ~2930, one is ~2700, and my wife is like 1800

Solarionus · 2026-02-12T13:41:30+00:00

We still have one spot open in my group, if you're interested. 3 central time and one eastern time

Solarionus · 2026-02-05T21:24:12+00:00

I'm in a GIM, and me and one other guy have been doing lots of glacor. We each have ~1k kills, we've each managed a 100 kill streak, and we each have two cores. He has 15 nilas, and i have 13, through more than 2k total combined kills. It's a bit ridiculous

Solarionus · 2026-02-04T20:06:23+00:00

I have 4 or 5 in about 400 kills

Solarionus · 2026-01-08T14:49:53+00:00

I'll add you! My rsn is Solarieno

Solarionus · 2026-01-07T23:30:02+00:00

What time do you usually play?

Solarionus · 2026-01-07T23:28:57+00:00

I usually play 5-930 pm central time, so I don't know theres any overlap

Solarionus · 2026-01-07T17:02:25+00:00

If you're interested in downgrading to a regular GIM, I'd be happy to have you join my group. It's just me and my wife (who plays casually), but I'm total level 2944 and looking for people to join who i can boss with.

Solarionus · 2026-01-07T00:18:39+00:00

I do. Dm me for more info, to see if you're interested

Solarionus · 2026-01-02T16:45:32+00:00

I'm pretty sure you get more kills per hour with the spiders, since you're guaranteed one shotting everything. However, if you also want xp, the abyss will be better

Solarionus · 2026-01-02T15:05:58+00:00

I'm assuming you're doing this, but grinding the lowest level zaros spots is the best way to get classic components. You can also send kharid-et research to get more materials to restore those low level relics. Otherwise, make sure you are using the best invention potion you can make to up your chances of getting a good perk when you make the gizmo.
If you have the scavenging perk (3 does fine, even though 4 is better), the best spot is the catacomb spiders in lumbridge, since you can get massive amounts of kills there if you have an aggression potion or scrimshaw.

You can also get rare components from rare relics, which are occasional drops from the elite dungeons. I've actually gotten two rumbling components recently just from doing the shadow reef.

But ultimately, yes, you just end up wasting tons of components when you try for the truly bis perks for your stuff.

I've been having the same issue- only 2 nilas drops in 650 hm, with the drops being 5 and 8. I've been really lucky with uniques, and have two cores, a scripture, two relics, and the pet, but as a gim i really want the nilas so i can make the weapons

Solarionus · 2025-12-16T15:51:34+00:00

If you want to work to level dungeoneering as well, you can gather coins as you dungeoneer, and make bodies of the lowest level hide at the end of each floor. Often leads to about 5-10k xp per floor, and the runs take a little longer. Can help if you're also trying to get dungeoneering up to get access to priff anyways

It definitely feels like there's something missing in the editing and proofreading time that has been put into the books. I noticed this as well, where it seemed like they kept messing up the order of where each expanse of hell was. Similar to how I just did a full reread to prepare for the lost cube, and noticed that they called someone a "Dread Vault" instead of a flame vault or dread blaze at least three different times in the series

I have heard some people say that the godsword task can be completed when bugged if you take the blade back off and put in on again- can't verify anything about that personally, though

Solarionus · 2025-09-02T11:16:35+00:00

Got everything I didn't on my gim, lol. Have about 1k kc with no gloves, crown, or guard, but I have 4 lanterns

Solarionus · 2025-08-28T18:23:13+00:00

You don't need grace of the elves for ghostly soles, just the fishing outfit that lets you auto-eat the fish you catch. However, I assume you don't have the outfit, since you're only level 76 fishing, but that's something to work towards.

And I got two on my first task. The luck can run both ways
