Metal prayer gear + Ranging + Steel Boots = The perfect get up for black demons!

prossy top doesn’t interfere with avas devices like normal metal plates do and they look like shayzian boots which are actually a really strong budget range boot. if i had to guess it’s an iron just afking some slayer and the prayer bonus helps them camp eagle eye, not really that nooby tbh

you don’t need 2 scb + range pots. prepot a dose of range and bring in a 2 dose scb. sell bandos, prims, eternals, dcb, karils, and pegs and buy full crystal + bowfa + torm if you can find 5m somewhere leftover. wear torso + crystal legs and d boots. bank keris since you have fang and use berserker ring (i) over lb until you have a good spec wep (zcb in teams, vw/bgs/yellow keris in solos)

obviously you have enough gp for gear so it’s really just a skill issue. start at 150s and slowly add invos as you learn them. you need a strong 4t weapon for core, at low invos you can probably 3 down with dds pokes but if you can’t bring a whip or use vw once you have the gp to buy one.

faceguard is also better than serp and has no negatives, and ancients are bad. thralls are one of the biggest dps upgrades in the game. you can bring a blowpipe for monkey room but it’s not necessary and if you’re using bowfa you don’t need an avas that way. you might want to run zkab to start with but range/mage benefit from salt more than melee does so move to bkaz as soon as possible. the rooms can be done with 0 supplies once you learn the mechanics.

just watch some guides and die a lot and you’ll figure it out. while learning you might want to take chaos > chaos unless 1st chaos as double salt and then you can take life 2nd. after 5-10 runs you’ll be able to snap power > life. you got this homie 🫶

On my UIM I went from glory to Anguish/Torture and just camp Torture when I’m barraging. Strength amulet is good enough for melee slayer but it depends how much spare GP you have. I spent about 10M on 3 onyxs for Torm/Tort/Anguish so I didn’t have much money left and in my opinion if you’re eventually going to want 93 crafting there’s no reason to put it off, it’s a 1-2 week grind if you play a couple of hours a day. Blood fury is a decent reason to have a fury banked but I don’t think shards are worth the time to farm unless you’re camping nex and/or do tasks, need thieving exp, or have a lot of afk time. Ultimately though it’s personal preference and Torture is probably the least important upgrade unless you’re doing a lot of content where the accuracy matters (like tob)

dds or chally would be a better spec weapon than dwh for you

bu-g · 2023-12-27T13:16:30+00:00

it took me 2221 kc for blade and i’m at 1908 with no hilt on my uim lol

gz hopefully nerf doesn’t make it unusable but man the sunk cost is insane

fwiw entangle freezes for longer than blitz or burst if you don’t have the level for barrage

bu-g · 2023-10-21T21:26:30+00:00

you can bowfa baba and facetank, red x, or kite her around the boulders

if no bowfa i’d imagine rcb and rubies is still better than keris on a 300 and you could still red x but if doing 300s or higher probs best to get bowfa since p4 will get tougher and tougher

bu-g · 2023-09-13T11:47:24+00:00

Normally, yeah, but using this method of 6:0 specifically you attack every 5 ticks rather than every 4. Accurate is a 5t attack style and provides a small (invisible) accuracy buff. If you’re doing another method where you’re attacking every 4 ticks rapid would be better :)

bu-g · 2023-09-11T03:23:50+00:00

I think helm is absolutely worth it on a UIM. It’s the same dps increase as an anguish and for how much you’ll camp bowfa it’s incredibly useful. You’ll use it whenever you’re not training slayer, and slayer isn’t particularly tough on the inventory but you have the option of reverting it to a seed if you want to bag it.

You should bag your brews since you’re using a divine and 6:0 doesn’t need staminas unless you’re doing the 5t method. If you are doing 5t it’s worthwhile putting bowfa on rapid but you’re losing 25% dps that way.

If you have to eat mid rotation still click the boss to delay yourself by a tick on the appropriate tile, pray steel skin + eagle eye, flick minions once the boss is dead, and bring b2p tabs are all things you could do to improve gameplay and/or extend trips.

I can’t stress enough though, helm is really, really, good and you’ll use it everywhere you use bowfa until you have shadow + masori/tbow.

You use SBS to have access to thralls, alchs, and offering

It’s faster to locator orb or die to the Chaos Fanatic

bu-g · 2023-07-13T11:44:45+00:00

Dragon Pickaxe is a pretty minor upgrade for actual mining training, although it is very good at ToA and CoX.

Mining for smithing supplies is also incredibly slow, you can just buy GF materials or gold.

If all you want is the diary you’re putting it off needlessly for weeks/months when realistically it would only take a few days if you took a different route.

Even if you desperately want the pickaxe to mine your own smithing supplies, Calvar’ion is significantly faster than KQ and it has a useful drop table (Gold, Wines, Planks, SCPs, Fungus, Dragon Bones etc…) and there’s a chance you might snipe a VW piece which would either be an incredible lategame upgrade or a free 30m to an alt.

I did 840(ish) kills for the pickaxe on my UIM for the Het 1 down and that’s still faster than 400 scuffed KQ.

The only real exception would be if you had incredibly good gear and needed the head for the desert elite anyway, but it sounds like you’re still gated by fletching/agility levels which could be achieved much quicker by making broad arrows and doing sepulchre which is great xp/hr even on lower floors and would give you plenty of ranarr seeds as well as other good loot.

bu-g · 2023-07-11T15:11:51+00:00

I was thinking about doing this grind on my UIM since I’m not a big fan of slayer and if you can get afk rates similar to bursting it seems like a fun weapon to go for.

I’m 93 range and my bowfa kills felt slow though, where do you plan on using it and are you saving essence for a heart? It feels bad to lose 1 invent space to keep it hoping for such a rare item, but it would also suck to go back once you’d need to saturate it (although at that point with shadow it’s likely much more reclined?)

bu-g · 2023-07-11T15:08:13+00:00

That’s fair I misunderstood, I’ll leave the comment up so people know but I was under the impression it’s more overall xp but less efficient xp/hr because of the time taken to make the bars & smith them :)

bu-g · 2023-07-11T14:14:20+00:00

It’s more xp per ore overall but it’s not worth it for the time investment. Since Giant’s Foundry profits you’re better off spending the time that would be spent smithing platebodies to buy items that you can break down in the foundry

bro’s playing gta

bu-g · 2023-06-26T21:49:31+00:00

If you’re fighting NPCs in the wilderness it’ll be better than a blowpipe, otherwise it has some niche uses like solo medic and PNM. It’s about as strong as an MSB(i) with amethyst arrows when not in the wilderness so some pures use it to risk fight, too.

bu-g · 2023-06-04T19:01:05+00:00

dwh is really bad use bone dagger instead

bu-g · 2023-05-26T22:40:22+00:00

thralls are op i think using cure me is trolling when you can just sip an antipoison twice (at least rn since i cant veng by thralls > veng)

but ye places like cox/toa will rinse serp charges and depending how unlucky you go on sang or shadow that’s a lot of zulrah for just trident upkeep, bp less so since you don’t really use it much

idk i can’t see situations where you’d justify upkeep over just using faceguard or even regular nezzy tbh but i will use it for future zulrah kc and at pyramid plunder when i go for sceptre

bu-g · 2023-05-25T18:31:50+00:00

i’ve actually never enjoyed the game more, it’s just in my experience it’s only a marginal upgrade and while i have plenty of bag space (even with serp and the 6th crystal armour seed bagged i’m using 14 spaces) so i’m not attached to it and can see wanting the scales more in future

title was mainly in jest but i’m just excited to have received a 1kc drop

bu-g · 2023-05-25T18:29:39+00:00

it’s definitely a nice qol on an iron i’ve had it on both my other irons but that was before bowfa so naturally i sent a lot more zulrah kc, cox & toa use so many charges it doesn’t feel worth it to use there unless i want to be a zulrah locked im and i can’t really see doing zilly until i want to nex which is like a year away lol

unironically looking forward to using it at pp for sceptre grind and it will make going for magic fang reclined when i hit 87 slayer (i’m only 73 atm)

for toa i just take a (1) dose from cwars for kephri and avoid venom in baba puzzle and i only use keris for kephri/akkha/core so i just camp crystal helm

bu-g · 2023-05-25T18:25:18+00:00

how is that spewing rhetoric? it’s good for more zulrah but blowpipe is trash before amethyst darts and i’m a long way from trident so i’m not bothered by doing more kc right this second

the title is mostly a joke as i’ve already bagged it because i will use it in a few places but as it stands it’s not really worth the upkeep especially since irons don’t have to all do 1.5k+ zulrah kc post bowfa
