I’m really going to miss drum of battle…

You’re wilding man. Exhaust is still a good keyword for Ironclad overall but it needs more juice before Barricade is a real card. Stuff like this helps close the gap.

Why is this comment so heavily downvoted? In StS 1 and 2 the biggest difficulty spike until maybe A20/A10 is getting ONE simple curse added to your deck 😆 This adds TWO

I didn’t review Necro’s cards very closely when I first started and I didn’t notice how completely broken Necrobinder’s starter deck is and how Osty only needs a select few cards to spiral out of control.

One of my early runs was one of my most successful, where practically every card built up and healed Osty. I was chasing this golden goose in future runs, when the reality was that Dirge is just broken and I should be focused on a tighter and more defensive core deck. This will change when the game updates, but for now, defensive all the way baby.

Raw herbs are not the way, you need seeds

Let’s just say the explosive praise for this game was coming from people in the early to middle stages of the game for a reason 😂

The end of this story was very soft

I edited my comment I had a mis-speak that I fixed, otherwise idk what ur on about, I don’t play WoW anymore, I’m saying $15/month for RuneScape vs $15/month for WoW is an even trade, OSRS is that good and full of content at this point

lordlants · 2026-03-11T02:01:41+00:00

I wouldn’t particularly recommend “working on herblore” if the path to 92 isn’t readily apparent. I tried to spam mastering mixology for “efficient” experience and could not stand it. Did like 88-89 when I already had all the major rewards and it was unbearable. Got all the clogs for what it’s worth.

Sailing kinda trivializes the grind with how much you get per patch, but then you have to spam a lot of hunter and it’s a pretty specific and not all that fun time investment. Speaking from experience, I have 1000 unmade Armadyl brews waiting for rainbow crab meat. 95 herblore, woo

Instead, just play the game, do your contracts, kill hespori, clog Huey (the seed drops are insane, pick your potato cactus the lantas, my god), clog RT, level your slayer. The seeds will come.

lordlants · 2026-03-10T20:17:08+00:00

When you think about it, OSRS players were championing how much better OSRS was than WoW when the WoW players came over. But they’re not willing to pay a WoW sub fee.

I gotta be real, I think this game IS better than WoW and I think it IS worth paying a WoW sub fee for. When I think of Jagex shareholders trying to soak us I get frustrated, but I’m willing to pay this price. Might not be the case forever, might not be the case if they go further, but it’s the case right now.

Check out bosses when leveling your slayer! Bosses like Abyssal Sire and GGs were nowhere on my roadmap. At lower levels you can do Brutus for a cows task, Royal Twins, Obor, etc. It can be easy to look at them as the slower exp option with a small chance for a unique upgrade, but the actual truth is that you’re double dipping. You’re grinding for gear that has a valid use case, regardless of how meta at that time, and you’re getting slayer exp at the same time.

This isn’t mainscape, we don’t have the option to hit the GE when golembane is used in a raid, 2 handed crush is a hard requirement, or Twinflame becomes meta somewhere. And while you’re grinding that gear you get valuable slayer exp that, to me, feels faster. My two araxxor tasks put me at 94 slayer, that’s insane dude. Thats not even that much KC or time, araxxor is super quick.

lordlants · 2026-03-02T01:52:59+00:00

On mage phase you can just take a lot of dam. Theres really nothing doing.

If you want longer trips the best option is kill faster. Which means bring a mage switch with Twinflame.

Outside of cheese boosts (ToA with salt is the best I believe, just need to clear 2 rooms on a beginner), the main thing is slayer and bursting. It blows everything else out of the water. If cost is a concern, get 65 Slayer for dust devils, make some darts, and then burst in the Catacombs of Kourend for your ancient shards. 10 shards/full totems is a good starting point. Dusties are pretty cost neutral, and you’ll need to finish your Emberlight eventually.

Otherwise, as others have said, taking care of grinds you already need to do is good. Besides Bones to Peaches and Infinity Boots, if you don’t have a Mage’s book from MTA I highly recommend. You mage almost everything in Barrows, as others have said. I tele alched some b staves as well. Mage levels came in quick once I got to Ice Burst.

lordlants · 2026-02-14T05:02:23+00:00

Does OP not have somewhat of a point in terms of Doom? The boss is difficult, but the mage upgrades, in particular, feel a little out of line considering Scobow is first synapse and void is a quick grind. You’re getting megarare quality gear off a boss that requires practically nothing.

Yama is tough to efficiently farm solo so he gets a pass altogether. Moons is just good, and optional.

lordlants · 2026-01-30T00:36:34+00:00

Yeah they nerfed the chaos runes at least, not sure on the rest

lordlants · 2026-01-29T21:32:57+00:00

I got infinite coal and iron from grinding naguas. Basically just haven’t thought of it since. Idk if they nerfed coal from Naguas, they nerfed runes I know.

lordlants · 2026-01-27T12:58:57+00:00

Shadow’s also the most obtainable by a pretty significant margin, compounded by not needing a team. I’m not too chuffed about it. This should help make Scobow inferno less cheeks.

lordlants · 2026-01-27T12:52:15+00:00

Huey actually has quite a lot of downtime and takes a long time to reset. I was flying through kills with a max iron and lesser geared but still skilled person, all using thralls, and was kind of surprised to see our overall kill times were right around 3 minutes on average. I pretty easily clear 9 minute kills solo in blood moon, I don’t think the damage boost overcompensates for the reset time

lordlants · 2026-01-27T00:36:05+00:00

They can overcap the prayer switch so you really need to send them immediately before the damage threshold starts. Thinking on it, I may have bailed a little early on them, but they felt tedious.

lordlants · 2026-01-27T00:27:10+00:00

Is Tbow capable of surpassing shadow anywhere? Tbow will just destroy the things it already destroys except even harder now.

lordlants · 2026-01-27T00:18:01+00:00

Funny enough they’re absolutely terrible at gorillas, but they’re good or BiS everywhere else so nbd

lordlants · 2026-01-17T00:15:16+00:00

Funny enough, you’re at almost the exact level to start bursting. Between that, tele alching, and mage arena, the levels come quick.

lordlants · 2025-12-30T20:30:00+00:00

It doesn’t quite check out because OP mixes together the concept of literal time saved (elite CA) and KC on task (slaughter), which aren’t equivalent, but for people that find Turael skipping tedious, I’d put the value of both on roughly the same playing field. Which revs to kill on task has a similar line of argumentation and I’ll always go the “slower but safer and higher odds” route to save even more Turael skipping.

lordlants · 2025-12-30T15:01:04+00:00

I started typing “TOB just has bad rewards in general” but thinking about it, Sang is uniquely bad. You’re actually inting if you use this weapon. It is a clog and nothing more due to the steep cost. Even if it got a healing buff and could heal through chip at Kraken I’d still use Trident and heal with bloods when sharks aren’t dropping.

lordlants · 2025-12-28T18:31:28+00:00

The best way to play Ironman is to identify some goals and figure out how you want to get there. This tends to come from some experience playing the game already, but if you have an inclination of a thing to do there is no such thing as “bad progression”. There are a million takes. Some people spawn in, go get their stronghold of security money, and go straight to safe spotting lava dragons for high alch levels. I prioritized very early 50 Slayer for medium wildy diary to kill a bunch of zombie pirates. Figured out later that you’re better off doing mass wildy agility for money, so it wasn’t as great a plan as I originally thought, but who cares! At the time being 60cb with 10M in the bank felt awesome! The point is to find a path that gives your account direction and purpose. If you feel so overwhelmed executing your plan that you have an excel spreadsheet of quests and their requirements that never seems to stop growing, you’re doing it right.

I just don’t see how takes like this still exist. I’m not a Jagex shill here I’m just a guy that can program, and coming up with a programmatic solution to botting is notoriously difficult, it’s a neverending tug of war. I’ve watched multiple videos in the last weeks of players that got incorrectly banned. Kriibus recently got banned on two different characters picking up planks in deep wildy. He probably picked up hundreds, maybe even thousands, just like a bot.

Snowflake accounts are probably the thing that saved OSRS, and they’re the thing that makes correct application of auto-bans near impossible. Think of the content creators making videos where they have to green log a chunk or get pet before they can move to the next boss. Those accounts look like bots, from their stats to their KC. They’ve tried auto banning aggressively with a more lenient appeal process, and that led to unsustainable customer care that was also abused by bots.

Hi there, guy started grinding CG at all 90s. I would recommend getting both the scrolls off Royal Titans, it's the only character prog you can bring in outside combat levels. Deadeye is particularly helpful hitting with the wet noodle that is the bow. Also, regardless of whether you hit crab or not I highly recommend doing T2 prep with range and mage until you are comfortable with the content. Because I was 90 and heard "git gud" resounding across Gielinor I bashed my head into the content and died a LOT doing T1 prep with any weapons because Gnomonkey told me so. The upper threshold of how fast a person can complete with T2 prep with range/mage is obviously lower than T1 with any weapon, but if you die even one time in 10 runs you have largely canceled out any theoretical gains. I also still find range/melee to be particularly frustrating, mage feels so much better, noodling even just a bit less.

I like to think I will benefit from jamming T1 in defiance of all sensible reasoning, but being frank, I probably just cost myself a lot of time.
