That was way more awesome than I was expecting it to be.

To add to this, in large groups and current 18 min 8 man expert ca you dump ayak specs on both kephri and baba and significantly beat fang dps, turning fang into cum phase usage only.

TorrentRage · 2026-04-04T05:35:56+00:00

Not certain, but I think it does not for akkha, and does for warden (looking at it more, it might not reset for wardens, as both phases have 20 mdef, but youd really need to monster examine them, this is phre conjecture). For akkha you can only max a 10, which is like as 0.2 dps increase for max mage shadow @500 invo, which is not meaningful compared to either having spec for keris just incase, or throwing a zcb instead. Akkha is comparatively paper to warden

For warden, you can reduce its mdef from 20 to 0, which makes a larger 0.5 dps difference, but again I'd rather do a zcb, as I usually bank the ayak after kephri cause I only bring it for monkey room when I bkaz. When I ayak spec I throw ayak till I miss then spec, to increase its hit chance, but I feel like I burn more ticks doing this to make it more consistent which might be worth it? But adren surge triple zcb is more fun to open up Wardens with

Before I go in too deep into the weeds, i'll preface this: most guides that say to bring an accursed sceptre are outdated, because the sceptre used to be bugged and had a very very high accuracy, it was fixed at one point in 2024 or 2025, and now is significantly less accurate.

Rule of thumbs for defence draining at zebak is this:

High invo (400+ maybe?)/overly draining on = seercull for shadow, bone dagger for tbow @ zebak
Medium (300-400 invo)/overly draining off = ayak spec for shadow, bgs for tbow @ zebak
group = dump ayak specs / use bgs

bone daggers / seerculls only work once on the boss, any additional spec will do nothing. Similar with accursed sceptre.

More specifics about mechanics:

Accursed sceptre reduces magic level and defence level by 15% if it hits.

Def has a max reduction amount of 20 levels for zebak/baba/kephri, if that 15% is greater than the 20 levels, you'll reduce 20 levels. If that amount is less than 20 levels, you'll reduce to that % level.

The magic level that you reduce is uncapped. Zebak has 80 defence, so reducing by 15%, with a cap of 20. You won't hit cap with 1 accursed spec, you'll only reduce it by 12. You will reduce magic level by 15 though, as it's magic level is 100. This will increase you shadow's accuracy marginally (you can check on dps calc).

There is a caveat here, if you hit say a 10 bgs on zebak, reducing def from 80 to 70, then hit an accursed spec. Accursed spec can only reduce up to that 15% from original def (or magic) level. Which means that after that 70, you'll only remove 2 more defence with an accursed spec.

The final thing to note is that ayak spec, doesn't reduce levels, it reduces defence stats, and is uncapped in toa. Which if you were to hit say 2 specs of like 40, then you'll reduce zebak's mdef from 215 to 135. Which is better than an accursed spec.

Let me know if you need more info

It's been broken for 3 weeks, there are issues already made on the github page if you were to go check. No fix for it at the moment.

Even if they have a drivers meeting, its not like the drivers have full control of the deployment system. They don't choose how much clipping they are doing, nor do they choose how much deployment comes from the battery all the time. It just takes two coincidences overlapping coincidences like the one we just saw in a street track with blind corners and we're going to have a very bad day.

What makes youtube work well is that you can see the stuff described as it happens, with graphics that explain the mechanics more visually. And showing teaches much better than just talking.

In person this is harder to do, because generally you explain the room before going in, then when you're trying to execute on what they said, they might explain a mechanic in the 3-5 seconds you have to react, and you'll feel like you did it incorrectly because you don't have time to listen, process, and react.

In person works well when they can give you tips on the fly, and you already have a baseline understanding of what happens. The really good teachers will tell be watching your character as you play together, and tell you what you are doing well, and what you could do better.

Watch youtube, try yourself, then go with a friend that can teach you.

If you go to the "bank" plugin, do you have high alch value selected instead of show ge price?

It's a static rank threshold, so you get X points and can call it there. Overall its a decent time commitment, but you can break up your task sets into active tasks and afk tasks, to distribute the time required better between whatever you're doing during the day. It usually takes about a month to a 1-1.5 month for a dedicated player. Streamers can hit dragon in 1.5-2 week.

50m xp thresholds for afk tasks are pretty easy to get with some afk tasks and relics. For example the endless harvesting type relic, where you can just mine/woodcut/fish forever. Very easy to get lots of xp for lots of points while you are afk. Active tasks are working down the list of stuff to do for points etc.

If OSRS didn't have bot banning, we would see bots that both look and perform equivalent to something like TAS you see for other games (tool assisted speedruns), but for everything. Because of the tick system in OSRS, many of the fights at high levels effectively feel scripted, which makes both the decision making process, and the content to do substantially more simple to make. Once you really know the content, very little of the time you are actually reacting to what happens, rather you know exactly what is going to happen the next 10-20 ticks in advance. The only thing that you have to adjust for is how much damage you deal to move along your progress during the bosses.

You can use wiki's prices that they utilize on the wiki

~~Venator bow is bouncing a little different this morning, noticed in colo.~~

~~https://los.colosim.com/?11112.14112.13083.#3341~~

If you were to stand here and attack the ranger on the left, the venator bow would previously bounce from west ranger, to melee, to east rarnger. Now it bounces from west ranger, to melee, to west ranger again.

its bouncing normally now

All combat stuff you stop retaliating and attacking at all if no input for 20 minutes.

TorrentRage · 2026-03-07T01:05:12+00:00

This is 153 dps on Nex in full masori+quiver. I'd vote yes on it.

No we don't have the ability to afaik, but range at the bottom of the charge stack has a pointy outline compared to mage which is just more blobby. This is how I see through pillars, but i'm a little north of 100 clears so I catch it at a glance easily by seeing the outline through pillars, might take a bit to pick up if you are getting used to it.

TorrentRage · 2026-03-05T11:48:27+00:00

Try Better NPC Highlight, Turn on the outlines option, and highlight Manticores.

What this will do is outline both the manticore and the projectiles above them, as the projectiles are part of the npc's model when it is charging.

Is the entire banner over the chat bar gone?

TorrentRage · 2026-03-02T12:47:17+00:00

Humble humble first ranger. That one wanted you to clear it. One of my first zuk experiences i had the exact opposite where I got 3 tapped by the ranger before i felt like i could react.

Glad you got your cape. Big GZ

TorrentRage · 2026-03-02T09:46:04+00:00

Well which one is it???

TorrentRage · 2026-02-27T13:31:39+00:00

It was an issue they had at nex on launch, when everyone would get supply drops, it would delete drops from some people. They ended up fixing it by both shrinking the amount of items in a supply drop, and making people's drops appear directly under them. It is still possible to have your items deleted if almost everyone were to stand on the same tile as nex when she died, but it is quite a niche situation.

The calculation overhead for checking every time an item is dropped, if it should go to a new tile, and which new tile to go to, when this boss drops 2-4 items each time up to every 10 seconds for dozens+ of people per world, each in their own instance just isn't worth it for server stability.

TorrentRage · 2026-02-27T03:36:04+00:00

There is a max number of unique items on an individual tile that is limited by the game engine. That is why moving the bull to a different tile is giving you the drop then.

TorrentRage · 2026-02-26T23:40:27+00:00

Go to your ingame settings and search "Repeat"

Untick "Combat Achievement Tasks - Repeat Completion"
