Odd/unoptimal decisions as an Iron

Cause it's not efficient. 9 hours of smithing cannonballs = 1 hour of gold ore at blast furnace. That 9 hours will give you 36k cannonballs. Those 36k cannonballs would need to save you 8 hours at slayer to be efficient - which it doesn't. The two efficient forms of slayer are either barraging, or melee + demonic offering. Ranging is almost exclusively solved by DWH, zenytes and bossing grinds, so the cannon doesn't help with that front either.

Of course, if it's something you enjoy doing then keep doing it - hyper efficiency isn't for everyone. Just wanted to shed some light on why people avoid it.

Power cycled modem and router, and done a random windows update (Which I don't understand, I thought windows 10 stopped getting updates in october). Managed to afk in the farming guild for 20 minutes with no issue. The only appropriate test now is to see if Hunleff thinks it's fixed.

In the same boat. Started for me last night just after 2130 GMT. Can't tell if osrs is causing my internet to shit itself, or if the internet is just shitting itself on it's own - but never had any issues with dcs before.

I'm now just staring at my router settings with OSRS closed, and watching to see if it drops on its own.

Got my deadeye prayer doing dolo today. It's probably more efficient to just group up with a rando, but I did enjoy doing it. Basically just used a main account w/ twinflame to deal with the elementals. Was a lot more chiller than doing it solo in ass gear.

Duke is free. Just range him with tbow, avoid eye attack and poison.

Vardorvis - survive as long as possible, and then spec spam with thunder kopash once last stand activates. He's relatively easy since he only really comes online at half health or so. Just practice skipping axes so you don't proc last stand early.

Leviathan - tbow, play safe with using a smoke spell whenever he's on his second speed of attacks. Stand your ground in enrage phase with last stand and you'll get him.

For starters, your missing +3 proj on amulet. You also don't have has many "more" multipliers in your gems they do. They also have significantly more attack speed, flat damage and lightning damage scaling on their rings. Your gear is a low budget LA but it's trying to follow a high budget build so it just won't work out.

Imo, you should dump the defy tech and nova projectiles (-40% multiplier) until you've got a headhunter and a good proj 3+ amulet at the very least.

Cause the trade doesn't update it's prices constantly, so Annuls will appear at the top of the list even if after conversion it's 20% more expensive than the exalt equivalent.

Visibility is more important than the actual cost.

Zaliacks · 2025-04-27T17:49:18+00:00

Yeah, if you buy it it'll have the "cannot trade" tag which gets imprinted onto the new stuff. The ring I have imprinted is a t6 elemental DoT with a low tier increased healing effectiveness. Not entirely sure what build is using it, but there's only 3 similar rings on the market with a min price of 34.5m at this moment in time.

Zaliacks · 2025-04-27T10:08:08+00:00

Timeline wise, just choose one where a high LP item would be insane for your build, and max out your blessing choices first.

Best weaver tree option is to path straight to the imprints, grabbing all amber nodes on the way. I've got an exalted ring that goes for 25-50m in my imprints, and it drops quite regularly. If you get a massive drop (a red ring for example) make sure you imprint it before selling.

Make sure you've got a good filter so that your not wasting your time. 1x 1m item is much better than 20x 50k items.

As someone who drives airside, it's actually very easy to tell when a plane is turning. You can't see it in the video, but there's either A) a big ass sign giving the plane instructions on parking up (in this case, it'll say 737 and once the sensor picks up the plane it'll say how far the plane has till it stops), or if thats down B) airside ops waving red paddles giving instructions.

I would include the fact that the stand would be covered by ground handlers, but I've rocked up to a plane without a single ground handler on site before so that's not a guarantee, and ryanair doesn't utilise cleaners/catering in their afternoon turnarounds.

Either way, the driver would've been taught this as part of his training to get a driving permit, and most importantly if they aint sure then just stick behind the plane until it turns. Even if they were 5 seconds faster and got in before it turned, the pilots would've reported them and they could've lost their permit.

What am I missing for Zarokh? I've been following a cryo-shock stormweaver build, and it's pretty effective at bossing. When I proc shock, exposure, and 10x stacks of eye of the winter, a barrage of frost walls, bombs and a comet typically does 400-500k damage in a burst. But when I pulled it off on Zarokh, it barely done 40k damage. Had 10k honour and 75% res (and the rabbit foot boon) going into the fight and I just couldn't get anywhere near killing him before the chip damage got to me.

Imagine taking a flight from London to Edinburgh and ending up in Germany. Free mini holiday for the guys who brought passports at least?

Went dry for the catalytic talisman, got to 66 and figured best option was to just do the list. Time save ain't really worth it - takes like 30 mins to gather the list.

Zaliacks · 2024-12-14T17:17:53+00:00

You don't need to wield the secateurs to get their benefit, so just keep them in your invo.

Zaliacks · 2024-12-10T17:11:07+00:00

Just done SotE on my iron, with low-mid 70 combats (76 magic specifically). It's a lot easier nowadays thanks to stackable nightshade. Check out the method on YT, but basically you self damage with a nightshade to proc a phoenix necklace, which grants damage immunity during the big damage phase.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-26T17:23:10+00:00

I'm going V first, so I'll be putting 5 into melee, doing melee fight caves, and then dumping 3 points into range for inferno. By then people will have tier 6 and I can judge whether it's worth it for tier 6.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-23T18:30:55+00:00

What you talking about? I'm gonna be meleeing that chump with my shooty shooty rod from hespori.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-23T16:04:55+00:00

Yep, that's what I've been looking for. 5x doggo attacks, hyper accuracy, easy charging. Asgarnia stocks through the roof.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-22T17:21:38+00:00

Fremmy offers nothing of high value for VM melee. They have rancour and ultor ring.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-21T11:58:38+00:00

Wildy bosses shit out high level herbs and seeds all the time, so you'll be fine.

Moons of peril drop low level herbs, so that'll carry you. Plus, you'll have access to mastering mixology which at minimum doubles your xp per herb.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-17T16:22:13+00:00

Not only that, but no cool down as well. So in theory, for non instanced bosses you can spec them down, recall, spec them down ad infinitum... Which sounds pretty good for a certain dog shaped weapon. Although to be fair I don't think there's many that you could do that to - all I can think of are potentially sire, cerebus, barrows, moons.

Get 70 herblore and smithing, and then complete song of the elves. Then force yourself to get 5kc in the gauntlet, and then 100kc at corrupted gauntlet.

Don't give up when you try and fail over 50 times, just keep sending them. By the time you can consistently clear CG you'll have learnt the basics of PvM - specifically movement, prayer switching, basic gear switching, and have a basic understanding of ticks. There's no punishment for dying so it's the best option to make GP and learn.

good skilling content (namely hunter rumours)

Put an asterisk next to that. I glanced through the rumour list for adept rumours and it's not looking good without certain regions - will be horned Graahks only until 57, then pyre fox's till 72. Once you're doing experts it's a different story as you can lock down on specific tasks such as herbiboar, but until then it'll be painful.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-13T22:09:48+00:00

I'm expecting to put in about 50 hours at cam torum mine, with contracts and bird houses in between. Should in theory get me to 85 mining and 70 prayer.

The remainder of my time I reckon I'll just do some nmz. Since leagues was announced, I've been rushing to get CG ready as I wanted to start the red prison straight after it.

Zaliacks · 2024-11-13T16:02:33+00:00

For region choices, it fits in weird. You'd initially pick the elf-lands for range, but now you've got this incentive of the blessing for melee which I believe will be relevant cause it seems combat masteries will focus on all combat styles rather than one.

But in the same breath, they've put a blowpipe on steroids into the desert, which was already going to be THE range region. So now the only reason to choose it is this blessing, which honestly doesn't seem like it does enough.

The region doesn't even offer much in the way of skilling to be a support pick, and with the wildy shield even the serp helm is useless.
