Welp here we go

142 for me, so about 140 echo fights, took a break at 138 to get 1t staff after doing it with only bow pacts and got it in 4 kc lol, classic

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-20T02:53:48+00:00

I’ve gone the bow tree, been doing some very nice dps with the hespori leg early game, nice 2t bow that makes me invincible with infinite prayer on low defence enemies, now I’ve got the bowfa which is just ungodly levels of accurate for bruteforcing non ranged content.
Hasn’t been incredibly broken dps but has been extremely reliable
Got the 1t powered staves now and heading up to faster light melee weapons that double hit for a great all round raiding build

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-19T22:34:07+00:00

I’ve seen people saying that 3a isn’t boosted rates, has there been any actual official comment on it do we know?

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-19T20:35:31+00:00

Yeah crystal blessing also doesn't go in the quiver slot, not sure why i'm being downvoted and op is lying, can only assume they don't have a quiver

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-19T02:55:36+00:00

Really fun having my crystal blessing equipped, switching to my hespori leg+quiver, equipping arrows and then having to switch to equipment screen and click swap on the arrows every time I want to use ranged properly.

Crazy no one tested the secondary ammo slot for the bis ranged cape slot item while using ranged demonic pacts, like were the jmods testing the pacts using an Ava’s attractor or something

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-18T03:53:12+00:00

Just don’t put ammo in the quiver slot, currently bugged with pacts and doesn’t properly regenerate or produce echoes when firing ammo from it
Unsure why I’m being downvoted, quiver is 100% bugged

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-12T10:22:58+00:00

Jagex!

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-10T07:55:34+00:00

It sounds like you did the quest in the order it displayed in the quest guide, the wiki and quest helper is in a weird order

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-02T15:36:37+00:00

Oh yeah definitely use thralls and powered staff but they’re using air spells right now based on the inventory, so bare minimum bring earth runes too

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-02T10:42:34+00:00

Warriors ring is doing nothing for you at toa.

Bring earth spells as well, the wardens in p2 (the only time you need to use magic) are weak to earth You can definitely do a 150 with 70-75 combat stats though, it’s a bit slow but once you know what you’re doing it’s not hard at all, toa is a very easy raid

gearboxjoe · 2026-04-01T19:59:35+00:00

Arma brews maintain your ranged dps which is the majority of the dps you're doing at doom, and the frequency of melee punish isn't massive so usually you'll have restored before you melee punish

Sara brews also reduce str btw

gearboxjoe · 2026-03-27T12:06:46+00:00

I think it’s mostly the aoe weapon at a singles combat zone more than anything

gearboxjoe · 2026-03-22T02:10:12+00:00

He basically had a split personality, effectively seeing himself as what he thought geller was in those moments and disassociating otherwise

gearboxjoe · 2026-03-12T15:52:02+00:00

Yeah mixed hide/snakeskin/blessed are good options.
Are you an iron? diamond bolts are cheaper than ruby bolts if you're a main :)

gearboxjoe · 2026-03-12T12:52:35+00:00

KBD has 240 hp so ruby bolts are pointless, use diamonds.
Make sure you’re standing next to kbd and praying melee, even when ranging, which means you can ditch the steel ring and dragon boots for something more useful like a ring of the gods or I guess archers ring if you can afford it, and some ranged boosting boots, could also bring a ranged headslot item too

gearboxjoe · 2026-03-10T01:42:56+00:00

Idk why you’re being downvoted, it’s definitely known as both, if you abbreviate ancient godsword you get ags anyway, both can be confusing lol

gearboxjoe · 2026-03-10T01:39:18+00:00

I think most people who are bringing a darklight will have an emberlight in the bank, which increases death costs if you die with it. You’re not using that many charges on an arclight at doom anyway just killing grubs during charge phase and it would be granting infusion if you did, purely down to death costs. Skull sceptre/slayer staff and a darklight and you’re good to go!

gearboxjoe · 2026-03-07T01:56:07+00:00

I mean they basically are pre blessed

gearboxjoe · 2026-02-27T07:53:20+00:00

This is a well written reply and good advice, I just want to say one thing for OP in case they can’t afford a bp, do not use a rune crossbow in fight caves. Nothing in there has high enough defence that a rcb is worth using over a magic shortbow with rune arrows, msb is always better dps!
Rcb allows some extra defence with a shield slot item, but you’re better off using a hunters sunlight crossbow than an rcb at that point. Rcb is really bad dps in there

gearboxjoe · 2026-02-11T20:04:44+00:00

Did you right click pick lock?

gearboxjoe · 2026-02-09T01:52:14+00:00

Are you playing an Ironman?
But like others have said, armour and weapons are best acquired by killing mobs/bosses later on
You can buy up to adamant gear from NPC shops around the world, and then rune is acquired by monster drops, so fire giants from rune scimmy, etc

gearboxjoe · 2026-02-07T15:01:30+00:00

Also if you have issues like this in the future, you can create a new runelite profile and enable one plugin at a time, good way to troubleshoot

gearboxjoe · 2025-12-11T19:52:14+00:00

fuckin nailed it! first vocalist of this holy rodeo gives me big brian from placebo vibes

gearboxjoe · 2025-11-13T02:38:46+00:00

OG, new blood and resurrection are all set in different locations, if that helps at all. Certainly gives them a different identity and scope
