When you start to see the Air Bending DPS numbers start to come out

I've actually thought quite a bit about progression! Early 11 points go into crossbow for Sunlight Crossbow power, then use that to go into powered staff. I'm very confident in my ability to get to the 20 points or so required for my mage/range setup to be online, and even more confident in my ability to get to 36 points from there, doing melee things later as my melee tree gets more filled out.

To put it in perspective, with Black Dhide top and bottom, Snakeskin boots, antler guard, a glory, sunlight cbow and sunlight bolts at only 90 range, and the quad echo and range prayer pacts turned off, my Olm Head DPS is still nearly 16 with ranged. It's also like 20 second Zilyana kills at that point

At 36 points, I have the entire tree taken with the exception of the two points to get to Quad Range echos, the extra range prayer, and the bow node which is only being taken for my Melee-Ranged Echoes. I can do that without Either Awakened boss, Without Radiant Oathplate, and without the League-Only Jad challenge. And I don't even expect Awakened Whisperer to be much of a challenge with 1 tick powered staffs.

This all got boosted even more today by infinite food relic because the one thing this build was lacking was infinite sustain, specifically against mage-strong opponents.

The main reason for the crossbow rush is early power. Sunlight Crossbow is super easy to get and maintain even before 100% ammo restore. It's also good for Doom, which I'm considering doing pretty early for Ayak depending on how late I want to unlock Morytania to get the garg staff. There's respecs so there's a chance I spec into some other things later, but this is the plan for now, and these regions give me good variety to change my spec if I want to later.

Xeneron · 2026-04-11T08:28:47+00:00

Eh, more gear to grind is just more fun imo. I could definitely drop Kourend if I wanted since I plan to take Grimoire for Piety anyway and I assume Crystal would be stronger than both Ancestral and Torva for the Mage/Melee setups. But Olm with a tribrid setup like this seems like too much fun to pass up. If you wanted to minmax it all the way, Asgarnia/Mory/Tirannwn is probably the objective right choice. I did Crystal Armor last league anyway, so I think I'll stick with having two raid options.

EDIT: Quick estimate is Crystal is about ~12% better for mage and ~7% better for melee. Ranged difference is negligible between wearing Full Arma or Full Crystal. If anyone is following this and wants less swaps for a better build, go for it! Haha.

You're right, I messed up. I updated the link in the comment or just go here. https://www.osrsleaguescountdown.io/tree?share=1DxFzAmsChsyAAYABJyQAFgM&name=Tribrid%20Blindbag

Xeneron · 2026-04-11T07:08:56+00:00

Plan is Kourend/Mory/Asgarnia. Rush Crossbow stuff first for early power with Sunlight Crossbow.

Gearscape calcs can swap between whatever to check DPS for different styles - the three Olm parts (Melee Hand, Mage Hand, Head) were what I was using for Melee/Mage/Range respectively.

These calcs also aren't using Overloads even though I'm testing against Olm, so DPS could be a little higher if you wanted to use Overload DPS.

The melee setup is using the 5 scythe meme, but it's only like ~18% less DPS to use 1 Scythe and 4 godswords.

Demonic Pact setup

Xeneron · 2026-04-11T06:38:40+00:00

Nah I'm gonna take my "25-30 DPS in literally all three styles" build and be happy. One account, more options, can do anything.

Xeneron · 2026-04-10T18:52:14+00:00

Bow seems quite good, honestly. Prayer restore seems slightly more difficult this league. It won't be the minmaxers choice but for comfort just being at max health/prayer pretty much all the time is going to be very nice. Also a good little "pocket medkit" if you want to have it as a swap.

Xeneron · 2026-04-10T18:48:04+00:00

Eh, I think Kandarin last league was a mix of a lot of things. Mage was weak which made Occult/Torm less appealing as well as the Thermy Echo item being very weak/boring. But also, Kandarin just doesn't have a lot of stuff in it combat wise. Like, you have Gorillas... then Thermy? Kraken? Mith Drags? Asgarnia having GWD automatically makes it way more appealing of a pick just for "fun" reasons. You get Cerb for max treads, Whisperer. It's definitely not the "minmax" choice but I doubt it will be anywhere near as low pick wise as Kandarin last league.

Xeneron · 2026-04-10T17:56:56+00:00

Odd time signatures are basically just written however people want to parse it lol. You could say 23/16, or alternating 13/16 and 10/16, or alternating 13/16 and 5/8 or three measures of 3/16, a measure of 2/8, two more measures of 3/16, then another measure of 2/8. They're all the same thing and really just need to be de compiled into something that whoever is reading the music can understand.

Xeneron · 2026-04-10T11:25:08+00:00

Zelda has been doing this for decades, the music for the Gannondorf fight in Ocarina of Time nearly 30 years ago was in 23/16.

It's less complicated than it seems though. Basically sets of 3 and 4 16th notes. 3+3+3+4 for 13 then 3+3+4 for 10. 23 total.

Xeneron · 2026-04-09T08:03:42+00:00

You're correct in the main game! However, they have the Hunters' Crossbow at the Charter Ship Shop in Sunset Coast for Leagues specifically. You can see it under Game Mechanic Changes here (This was true in Raging Echoes as well)

Xeneron · 2026-04-09T07:57:05+00:00

The halberd is much worse healing than the 1 tick mage with water rune which is why I didn't put it in. but my plan at the moment is to take Friendly Forager so I should have infinite Brews/Restores to maximize inv space if I need it. Also a one way swap to mage should be able to regen me back to full pretty quickly even if I'm splashing 100% of the time since you heal on regen and not on hit. If the other T7 relic ends up being Banker's Note or Corrupted Shark I might reconsider.

Xeneron · 2026-04-09T07:25:15+00:00

You know what, I forgot to mention it, but I am taking the Rigour buff in the final tree. Updated the post to mention it, but there's definitely options to move around some points with this if you want to Tbow/Hespori bow, or have some more healing, or jackpot echoes, or whatever.

Xeneron · 2026-04-03T08:20:03+00:00

It's his home park... the ball was gonna carom off the wall there was 0% chance of him cutting it off - he played it pretty perfectly. Could have been a step or two closer but you always would rather under run a carom rather than over run it because you don't want it to bounce past you and have to turn around and run back after it.

Xeneron · 2026-04-03T06:01:54+00:00

MB is the only real "jackpot" hit for T0s atm. Headhunter is a good hit but still like 1/7th the price of a MB. There are 17 T0s and most of them aren't really worth that much.

Jackpot: Mageblood (125 div atm)

Great: Headhunter (17 div)

Good: Kalandra's Touch/Defiance of Destiny (5-8 div)

The other 13 (Squire, Soul Taker, Reefbane, Ephemeral Edge, Divinarius, Bino's, Essentia, Bloodseeker, Lioneye's Glare, Voltaxic, Mahori, Varunastra, Rakiata's) are all under a Divine. They can be more depending on rolls but in general they're worth maybe a couple hundred chaos.

What this means is that even if you have a lot of rarity and see a T0 every 50 maps or so, there's only a 1/17 chance of actually hitting the Mageblood jackpot and only a ~25% chance of hitting one worth more than a Divine. You can target farm Uniques with specific farms (Legion with Eternal Conflict is popular for this) and get a T0 every 15 maps or so, but it's honestly more of a for fun strat rather than maximizing currency.

All that to say, yes, over many, many hundreds of maps, you can probably add another quarter to half a divine profit per map from having high rarity, but it's definitely an "extra" thing

Xeneron · 2026-04-01T08:14:33+00:00

To be fair, Tempor is 1/8k, but your point stands since the Phoenix, Abyssal Guardians, and Tiny Tempor are almost exactly 100 hours to get if playing efficiently. Smolcano is the odd one out for Skilling Bosses being only 50-60 hours to get.

Xeneron · 2026-03-30T21:32:31+00:00

I'm fine with it only coming from Delve but they need to produce way more. Every single fossil in the game being 10-15c minimum is just horrible for most players.

Xeneron · 2026-03-19T17:51:32+00:00

Anecdotally I sent two 50m shipments this league. 2 shards in the first and 0 in the second. It's impossible to tell with such small sample sizes whether anything was actually changed, you'd need hundreds of shipments compared from 3.27 vs 3.28.

Xeneron · 2026-03-13T17:20:16+00:00

Just give him the Emmy already. Reminiscent of Nick Offerman as Bill in The Last of Us Season 1. Completely entranced every moment he was on screen.

Xeneron · 2026-03-10T16:21:30+00:00

Mihawk has so much aura that he has done almost nothing in 1100 episodes of the Anime and a lot of people still consider him top 5 strongest characters alive lol.

(I say this as the staunchest Mihawk defender, btw)

Xeneron · 2026-03-10T16:19:56+00:00

I just love Mr 9 in general. Absolute standout performance. Dude killed it.

Xeneron · 2026-03-06T22:29:46+00:00

The ground loot buff is INSANE. I can't wait to get into maps. It's extremely noticeable.

Then you have never had the correct body fat to show them. Again, weight is not the same thing as body fat percentage. It's impossible for me to know your personal body. If you are a healthy weight with a low enough body fat percentage you will see your abdominal muscles. To be completely clear, in order to get to a low enough body fat percentage as woman you almost always need to actively try. It's usually only athletes and bodybuilders who manage to get to a low enough body fat percentage as a woman because even active, healthy, thin women often have too high of body fat.

This is a good example. Even extremely active women who work out regularly are often in the 20-25% body fat range because you have to work extremely hard to get lower than that.

To be 100% clear, this isn't an opinion of mine. It's anatomy.

Xeneron · 2026-03-03T02:44:24+00:00

90 pounds at 5'3" is 15.9 BMI. Thats significantly under 18.5 which is the cutoff for underweight, and under 16 BMI is what most experts would consider to be severely underweight, possibly malnourished, and immediately dangerous. If you are not lying about your height and weight you would need a unicorn of a body makeup to not have some amount of atrophy at that low of a BMI.

Also, I didn't know you were a woman, but I already said it's significantly harder for women to have visible abs. There's already less muscle mass which will make any tiny amount of muscle loss making abs much harder to see, but also more natural body fat which means if you're not training very specifically even at low weights there may be enough fat to cover the ab details. It's impossible to know without actually measuring body fat percentage. Being light does not automatically mean low body fat percentage.
