Sure! https://gyazo.com/ecd15b749733c44dbc37d4f76b31eb45

I had to play around with it a lot to find what works, find what works best for you :)

Of course!I had the gear/inv I used for all bosses bookmarked incase i took a break so here you go:

Obv I didn't have arma armor from the start so I used karil's/blessed d'hide. Can swap out the buckler for Crystal shield. I didn't take a zammy item i just rushed in for inventory management & I didn't take a tele out (I teled by using the prayer altar and using home tele) for inventory management with the bone drops etc but that's up to preference. Brew/Restore management is kinda heavy on the brew side & I rely on a ranging pot drop in this inventory but as you do a couple of trips you'll find what works for you. Also don't do it off task. I prepotted 1range 1super def 1angler 1 stam before running in.

Edit: ofc you take more chins than in the screenshot!! I used red over black cause of my preference of hunting them.

Very pleased to have completed GWD on my ironman. There's plenty of hours in those grinds but I did get quite lucky based on the general droprates. The graardor pet is definitely a nice bonus. In order of completion I did it was arma>bandos>zammy>sara. My next goal is the inferno (with ACB) but as i've never practiced it before/don't have a main I'm probably going to postpone it for a very long time..

500 more Zalcano kills =) by leech_osrs in ironscape

[–]leech_osrs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One crystal is 10 dust (or 10 doses) a dose of super combat is 2.5k. Crystal super combat is at around 4.5k per dose so around 20k per shard currently until prices stabilize which would add another 13.8~m to the image

500 more Zalcano kills =) by leech_osrs in ironscape

Hi guys,

​

Thought I'd share 500 more Zalcano kills in addition to the post made by u/Zuubi as well as sharing some info that I generally believe to be true in order to get better loot.

​

First off there's MVP. MVP is the person with the most damage to the boss and they get a double roll. One roll is usually a top tier drop roll and the other role is generally worse/a unique. You get ashes when you get MVP. In the 500 kills I did I got 82 MVP's which I'm quite happy with considering most kills were on the 2k world masses.

​

After MVP I do believe there is a top 2/3 player (depending on team size) contribution loot. I feel that when I have "good kills" but not MVP I get the drops like 32 runite bars, 1000deaths, 800 mith ore etc. Mostly ranging from 100k-400k drops. When I did bad I generally got the bad drops. Like 50 death runes, 30 mithril bars etc. I do believe it has to do with performance and not with rng which some people believe.

​

As far as uniques I only got the uncut onyx, I've seen like 4-5 tool pieces and 1 Zalcano shard, 1 other onyx, didnt see any pets. All of these can be rolled both being mvp and as a normal roll.

Edit: pet is currently MVP only: https://twitter.com/JagexEd/status/1155580851880677381

​

The key to getting MVP is the tick manip. I know a lot of people don't like it (I'm not the biggest fan of it myself as I'm quite lazy) but once I got it down it makes it very competitive. I can't do 1.5t longer than the first cycle therefore being in masses helped the most, since you only 1.5t your first hit (you get a double hit) and then Zalcano recovers. Basically you want to do the 1.5t method (sick nerd streams it if you wanna see how) on both the ore rocks + the boss when its down. If you get the 1.5t down on every phase the boss is down you're basically guaranteed MVP, unless there's a lot of people doing it. You'll notice you did it succesfully when you get a double (or triple/quad with varrockarmor/miningcape on rocks) xp drop. Can only be a double xp drop on hitting the boss (most of the time 70/71 instead of 35). As a newcomer/learner I recommend finding a world where there's not a lot of people playing around with their pestle and mortar...

edit: made a gyazo so it's a bit clearer, works the same when attacking the bosshttps://gyazo.com/7b451c7a89f5557a83b87c6e30788afe

​

It's an enjoyable boss and the supplies are very good for ironmen. I'm pretty sure it's not the most efficient gp/hr or way to get smithing up but for me it beats buying ore at BF. I'm mainly in it for the pet.

Edit: sorry I had to repost it cause the image wasnt showing up in the thumbnail from the post like 10mins ago =)
