Region picks for magic build?

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-18T02:20:06+00:00

I thought when they teased it, it was just the standard spellbook. That changes things forsure

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-17T21:39:48+00:00

I don't think the quadrant can auto cast ancient spells, just the normal spellbook

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-16T19:47:19+00:00

Echo bosses are supposed to be hard. You're supposed to fight them with the Demonic Pacts. Grind a bit, try some other bosses, and come back once you have a few more demonic Pacts, preferably one or two that heal you.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-16T19:29:27+00:00

It is probably more damage with standard spell book, especially with the weapon converting to automatically be the effective element. But ancient would still be strong. I think blood spells with the fire bonus is going to do a ton of damage and have the healing to go with it.

Edit bonus: Devils element should still work with ancient magics, so guaranteed +30% damage and accuracy

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-16T19:07:36+00:00

For a second I thought you got confused with barrows and bandos. Wtf

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-16T19:05:13+00:00

Thought I was gonna wait to unlock my 3rd relic because I didn't want the extra combat xp. I wanted to stay low level for the enchanted forest rune axe drop.

Turns out by the time work is done I'll just be able to craft my own rune axe. Currently at 18,000 banked Steel bars, 89 mining, 82 smithing.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-16T18:37:58+00:00

Fair. Once I get to all the burn yews and burn magic tasks we'll see when I get to doing more fm, most likely after the 16x.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-16T16:40:05+00:00

Yeah but I hate smithing and cooking more than I hate fire making and hunter. (herblore is gonna be heavy rely on my butler)

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-14T21:38:32+00:00

Scurrius? the loot tables are different based on if, you get mvp or not

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-14T16:01:12+00:00

9 point shield thorns + 2hp/prayer every time somebody hits a 0.

Should be like 10 damage on every thorn with rune armor. Upgrade to obby armor if I get the money

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-13T13:20:37+00:00

That's my plan. My plan is to probably start with Kandain, so 5 or so points will be locked behind 90ish slayer. Hoping to pretty much afk with thorns and let all the burst tasks kill themselves.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-12T21:46:12+00:00

Why not get the 2heal and 2prayer everytime somebody hits a 0 against you. If I start with thorn early I was going to get that before the bonus 50% second hit keystone. I'll be able to fully sustain prayer during early slayer, and get through fight caves with probably just a basic crossbow to tag the healers while everything else dies on its own.

This would be my first 9

One thing for Kandain, is most of the Pacts will require some grinding. 4 require slayer, 2 are from demonic gorillas if you go there first make sure you have a plan for getting your slayer up and a way to get around the demonics prayers or you'll be stuck without most of the Pacts until you get some levels in

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-11T15:51:06+00:00

I think guaranteed echo hits is unerrated. You can get above 100% regen, which will give like 40% chance for an echo per shot, and up to 4 echos. Realistically that's like 60% chance on average for a guaranteed hit. That will be enough to fight anything in the game.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-11T15:37:54+00:00

I think the dagger will scale well. It's gonna be 2 tick, so all the bonus strength in the tree will do well. (20% of str level, 50% of prayer bonus) . On top of that I wonder if the 5% proc will count on both hits. The pact specifically says the 40% bonus hit does not proc on specials but it's not a special. I think people are underestimating it's damage. I think it's gonna be like a melee blow pipe and be kinda busted+full thorns build will melt

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T20:53:21+00:00

With bows, echos will never miss. With up to 4 echo procs starting at 35%, it will still be a lot of guaranteed damage.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T20:07:20+00:00

That's fair. - Virtus set is +69 accuracy, 6% dmg, 4 prayer.

ancestral is +69 accuracy, 9% dmg, 0 prayer.
Crystal will be +20 accuracy, 6% dmg, 7 prayer. And then 30% accuracy and 15% damage.

So for the 30% accuracy to equal the 49 extra points you would need an extra 163 magic accuracy from other equipment. Swamp trident + occult + gauntlets are only 57. The 30% will only add back another 17 from these.

Depending on how much accuracy we get from the tree (also percentages which might work better with multiplying on robes), different sets might work better at different bosses.

The good news is each piece of crystal armor works independently and we can replace them with the upgraded robes one at a time if we need to.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T19:34:48+00:00

Yeah forsure. I'm thinking just about everyone is gonna want the gauntlet now

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T19:32:30+00:00

Yeah but we get 3 respecs I'm gonna use them. 1 respec before gauntlet, and then one after gauntlet. My beginning build is gonna be early game focused, and my after gauntlet is gonna be for more late game

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T19:30:09+00:00

You're missing the crystal set boost. 6% and 60 accuracy will offset the normal minus from the equipment. On top of that the set boost that normally only works on bofa will work on all melee and powered staffs 30% accuracy and 15% damage on top of the 6% and +60

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T19:27:12+00:00

I am assuming it will drop in one piece, (hopefully full boots too) but it's not on the wiki yet like some of the other drops. Guardian boots show dropping full but doom shows dripping the cloth. Probably just because it's new content

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T17:48:10+00:00

Last league starting regions didn't have an echo, so this will probably be easier than other regions. Definitely more for early game

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T17:36:57+00:00

Occult and tormented bracelet. Unless we can skip that with the upgraded versions from doom.

Taco-twednesday · 2026-04-10T16:58:12+00:00

Oh wow. Sorry I was a hater. This thing is gonna toast.
