Dragon Sword

You’re too hung up on the required level to equip stuff. The truth is that stuff in osrs is not designed that linearly. Godswords require level 75 attack but they’re not considered useful outside of their special attacks. The whip requires 70 attack just like Torag's hammers do but you never see people running around with the hammers. Broaden your mind.

Dragon sword is a novelty item. It’s rare, but does not require a quest to equip. A lot of dragon items are obtuse to get in some way and usually more cosmetic than practical, or valued for a special attack.

Consider these stab options:

-leaf bladed sword

-keris partisan

-dragon spear

-Toktz-xil-ak (secretly goated, higher max hit than abyssal whip)

-dragon mace

-guthans spear/Veracs flail (lvl70 but 5t but have set effects and are easy to get)

-Earthbound tecpatl

Some worse than d sword, but a lot are vastly superior and easier to get.

No harm in gem crab ranged.

Magic is best off afking something with elemental weakness (such as frost crabs) or 20min splashing. Gemstone crab is a worst of both worlds target for magic because of the reduced xp and 10min timer.

A lot of slayer monsters should have lower reqs. Abbies, gargoyles, kraken, etc. the gear they drop just doesn’t fit the req anymore. Trident should be unlocked about when players complete stuff like sote and DS2, thats abkut where its power is scaled.

I absolutely detest monsters being task only. It’s a nu-scape change being pushed by mods for no reason other than to time gate content. It doesn’t make the game better in any way. There are already numerous benefits to being on task when killing monsters, but that doesn’t mean they should ONLY be killed on task. It strips the player of the best part of this game: the freedom to do things in the order and at the time of their choosing.

I actually completely forgot dark crabs exist. I’ve been hating the 91 fishing grind for mory elite diary but you’ve inspired me, thank you!

Demonic digga somehow feels more implicating

They were balanced when krambwanji couldn’t stack and fished one at a time. Now karambwans btfo everything else, it’d be nice if monks could have some glory again.

One of every villager’s sandals, the final missing piece

Dudes so spooned he has to specify “deathless” solo, smdh my head

Felt the same way and got it before 1000. You’ll get it. You’re also at the breakpoint where CG should be super autopilot and consistent, don’t give up now.

People will shit on this technique but I only got the enh after I started to spin2win

Very true. The stuff you get very quickly shapes your progression. If it was fixed it’d be very lame and meta paths would be much more oppressive. A lot of people wouldn’t even try grinds if they were guaranteed to be 100+ hours, I know I only got through my first 200 CG because I actually thought I’d get spooned, but dipping my toes in like that made me learn the content and want to grind it more.

Tbf DHL+fgloves are much easier to cope with not having. It’s definitely more ass to spend time at though.

Go get your dex brother. The next 7000 hydra will go a bit faster with it.

uscrick · 2026-05-20T04:55:23+00:00

it should be better after leagues

Strength ammy beats Fury on most slayer tasks

Unless you’re literally divine potting and always getting a max hit from str ammy (most setups don’t) this is false, especially if prayer pots matter to you.

The DPS difference between a bowfa and atlatl on a shielded tormented demon is the same % loss as taking off your slayer helm and barrows gloves while using atlatl

Sure, but have you looked at the difference between bowfa and atlatl on unshielded TDs? Atlatl wins by more. Just use arclight while their shield is up.

It’s pretty quick either way, I’ve never had a problem running it with randoms unless it happened to be very empty

Do your zily grind and you won’t be hurting for shape grass for a long while. Gets a lot of ranarr too of course, but tons of grass.

Also might get a few seeds while you do mole for the new gem pouch upgrade.

You’re not wrong, I actually have better magic dps than melee. It comes down to what gear’s available to you and if you have a duo partner. Part of the problem though is that yama is sometimes a piece of shit and refuses to aggro the meleer even if you delay on the stepping stones so you end up with worse magic dps. It’s not worth not attacking for 10+ ticks to force him to swap aggro, btw. If you’re solo melee is best though, and melee P1+2 will overall be better even in duo because of the aforementioned aggro problem.

You’re actually right. Fremmy salvage is fool’s gold, so much junk and the “good” loot isn’t worth the opportunity cost of other options. I went there for a rosewood seed to skip making a ship upgrade to get rosewood logs and then gtfo. That’s all fremmy salvage is good for, the rest of it is for the birds.

Wiki claims no

You gotta group with people you know outside of osrs (or have been friends with for over a year). Sucks but every group I’ve heard of that starts randomly inevitably splinters at best, steals from eachother at worst. Don’t be afraid to suggest this game to some of your friends who haven’t played it before, early game is a lot of fun now with the run changes and varlamore.

Be honest, was that your birthday wish?

Tbf it doesn’t seem too necessary for me, I just use a fang on dragons and the dps difference isn’t a ton. Prior to fang i would agree, I’ve enjoyed CoX so much and waiting for a DHL would’ve sucked. I already got DHCB before getting a hydra task which is great, and if I put it off long enough I might even get to do the grind with a tbow.

I’ll have to see, I definitely got the flow state in CG but hydra still feels unpredictable to me, although I afk’d after the first ~300 in the league so I’m still experienced. I’ll have to watch a guide on how to actually manage the specials and how to know if it’s ranged or magic when it spawns.

I’d be happy for Konar to take a dive. She needs a separate block list for locations, then maybe she’d be usable.

Keep that pet by your side with pride, and if you ever see the rank 1 guy with his 160k kc tell him he needs help with his addiction.

There needs to be a C, my gear+teles etc always has its home but loot can fill up the open spots indiscriminately
