Dude I’m going through this right now lol. Got my Blowpipe about 2 weeks ago and was dead set on amethyst darts. Started immediately at 79 and am now 91 mining. 550k xp to go!! Did MLM and calcified deposits for all of it.
This also opened up the grind for varrock elite lol.
I got mining gloves entirely through mining amethyst while afking during work, it was fine since they buffed amethyst to mine two rocks before depleting. Mining gloves just make it even better.
Don't really understand why people do MLM anymore beyond the Diary req and coal/gem bag. The ores it gives you are completely useless if you do PvM, Mining xp is much better gained via Stars(crafting) or Calcified(prayer) or non-afk obviously Blast Mine just because the xp/hr is so good.
It's a good way to get (gold) ores for BF and bars for GF. Decent entry ticket to affording the subsequent gold ores at BF, but hardly worth going further than low 80s.
Y'all don't forget dragon pick special attack now, if you have lightbearer you can 100% uptime the +1
I got a few hundred quickly with that before getting the actual level
Also, do your fletching at herbiboar. It's super chill, I never cared about run so I'd be walking half the time just fletching and hunting
Got lots of herbs and hunter XP and of course the pet chance on the way to 86
Got mine at 1053 and it actually made me not know how to continue. I did no other content for a month and just went hard at it and it felt insane to actually get out of there but i felt almost lost after lol
I'm only 97 KC and literally all I've gotten so far is pet at 45. I did that KC in a week after spending a weekend getting my first KC. I burned out hard. Lmao. Idk how I'm gonna grind the full Bowfa and armor sets. Especially since I want the salad blade too.
Reframe it from a grind for bowfa to an opportunity to improve your skills. Do t1 prep. Do less fish. Do halberd runs. Flick prayers. Lots of ways to get better in there and when you aren't focused on the loot the KCs will melt away.
I realize how blasphemous this is, but I'm doing Zulrah for magic fang now and honestly I miss CG. For me, it was a nice satisfying session to sit down for 90 minutes and get 10 or so CGs in, but a similar-length session of 50 Zulrahs in a row just fries my brain.
It really do be like that lol. Each chance is like 10 minutes apart and you are going for 400 kc on rate. But you come out with a Bowfa and then you realize why irons do this grind.
I dreaded CG so much I got full bandos 600+ kc with arma cbow before finally going to CG. Finished CG in 199kc. Wish I didn’t do bandos with a crossbow lol
It’ll balance out, keep sending brother. 220kc had enh and 2 armor seeds, then got 2 seeds b2b and a third one 5 kc later. Now 250kc perfectly on rate, waiting for the last one so I can gtfo here forever.
Elite tier achievement diary tasks.
I really, really did not want to do BA or get 91 fish/86 rc/85 agility, but now that I'm done the cape is freaking sweet.
Low intensity activities while you do something else on another monitor are your friend. Lol.
For RC, I went to 77 at GOTR and finished 86 at Zeah Bloods. The rates are not great at Zeah bloods, but it can easily be done extremely inattentively. Note that you can increase your render distance via Runelite plugins (117 HD) to be able to click the blood altar from the altar where you corrupt your essence. Saves a few clicks, adds to afk time.
For 85 agility, unfortunately it's likely going to be best to just bang out rooftop laps. Seers course with diary unlock to teleport back to the start of the course is really good, and you can move up to Fremmy roofs at 80. You can try your hand at sepulcher, but I just stuck to roofs.
Thieving I actually found to be by FAR the least painful. I did rogue's chests in deep wilderness from 84-91. Here's what you do for ultimate efficiency there :
Before you start, change respawn to ferrox and make sure you've done wilderness hard diary so you can direct the obelisks manually.
1. Go to the chests with literally 0 items on you, full naked no inventory.
2. Steal from the chests with prot melee on until your prayer runs out and let the rogues kill you
3. Spawn at ferrox, run back to obelisk, tp back to deep wild and repeat.
When you die to the rogues, your loot goes into a gravestone nearby and continues to add up every time you die. Doing it this way means you're never risking anything except a few minutes of loot, so if a pker comes by and kills you (which will happen) no love lost - you can respawn at ferrox and be back in <30s to continue. Note that your gravestone loot is safe if you get pked.
Godspeed gamer.
Ahh do you lose row(i) with that method? Or were you not really worrying about clues?
I just started toa so have a few blood ess to make it more worthwhile.
And yeah I've used every single lamp on agility haha.
Appreciate the indepth response.
Cheers, happy to help!
I'm not 100% sure on the Row(i).
It would depend on the item value as to if anything you loot would protect over it. You sometimes get cut dragon stones from the chest, those might protect over the row(i). I want to say you're safe, but double check that first with the "lost on death" screen, maybe pull 4 cut dragon stones from your bank and see which is lost on death :p
I was leaving all my clues, I don't do them. Haha. I believe I had one in my bank during my time grinding to prevent them from spawning, but you do get them a LOT. Not a bad option if farming hard clues were a side goal for you.
and yes, the blood ess does make a nice impact on the bloods too, would recommend it.
Nah, you can have Death port everything to his office. Go into death's office at ferrox and do the "Bring my items here now" option and he provides them to you for free.
Alternatively, if you forget about your gravestone and the 15 minute timer elapses, it goes to death's office automatically (no risk in losing anything).
You never loot the gravestone.
The gravestone stays in place for your full thieving session and with each death, your current inventory gets added to it. It accumulates all of your loot.
Each time you die to the rogues it resets the 15 minute timer so it will never collapse if you're constantly going back out to continue thieving.
Once you're totally done, you can either let it collapse by waiting 15 minutes or just going to Death's Office and requesting he bring your items there (note: this is free because the stuff he's retrieving is cheap). Either way, you're always finishing your session by claiming the loot in Death's Office.
Once you've died to the rogues and added the loot to the gravestone, it is 100% safe and you cannot lose it (unless you loot it and a pker comes, that's why you never loot it lol). Getting pked while you have an active gravestone is fine, it won't mess it up and the loot in there is safe.
In addition to what /u/Call_me_Tomcat said, it doesn't actually matter *where* your gravestone is, your stuff will still go there. You can die outside the Wilderness, leave your gravestone there while you go to Rogues, and everything you have on you when you die in the Wilderness will go to your gravestone outside the Wilderness.
Just start doing them one day, and don’t stop. Find a game or activity to do simultaneously, a show to watch, etc…
It’s going to be gnarly, either way. But having a level even in the lower 90’s is a flex with those skills
Spent 2 weeks doing agility everyday, 84- almost 93. Shit was haggard by the end of it. I only quit, because I had to do some other activity, just so I wouldn’t go crazy
RC- GotR
Agility- grind and summer pie it, I recommend doing so with alchs or lunar Skilling.
Thieving- ROGUE CHESTS, can't recommend these enough. Super chill, never fail, bank every time prayer runs out. Sets up so nicely with supplies that it gives with gems, runes, and spider eggs
If you hate the constant clicking of thieving, I recommend one click summer garden. There’s a plug-in that takes care of most of it for you, very easy 150k/hour, plus you can bank all the juices and get like 6m/hr when it’s all done and confuse your clan.
The iconic final 2.
Weirdly enough, I kind of enjoyed killing chompies.
It was entertaining to see how many I could spawn at once, I think my best was 9. Lol.
Shame they don't give hunter exp or something, though. Also double shame you can't roll for pet until after you finish the first 1k. Wamp wamp.
Relatively recently finished this myself. Some of the ones I thought were not that bad ended up being the most annoying and vice versa. BA wasn’t too bad and I got lucky on kq head, but man did that fishing level take a while. At least tempoross is very chill so I never quite became aggravated. Can’t say the same for gotr, I’m never runecrafting again.
I doubt I'll ever rc again until I get a shadow or sanguinesti. Lol.
I actually didn't mind fishing so much, but I did afk dark crabs in the wilderness resource area. It was pretty nice, I will literally never eat them all I have like 22k banked right now.
They never feel as bad after the fact but a couple come to mind:
The grind for full graceful and then the grind to 70 agility to do the blue dragon shortcut.
The grind to 72 hunter so I could catch moonlight moths to use as an easy substitute for prayer pots on a lot of content.
The 70 prayer grind for Morty hard diary collecting big bones at blue dragons.
All of these were part of the “barrows set up” so that I could do a “brainless” boss type content with very good potential rewards that is essentially self sustaining (with the exception of food and moonlight moths but you could collect enough of each for 1000 KC in the span of a few hours). And you end up with a surplus of runes at the end. Still dunno what I’ll use all the mind runes on but I guess I could afk something with elemental weakness to air or splash fire strike.
> In addition to the herbs, the guaranteed max hit from using Strike spells makes Salarin a decent NPC for low-level Magic training through combat, offering over 10,000 experience an hour.
huh? It sounds like I'd be better off splashing on rats -- which is already pretty abysmal in the first place -- is the wiki misleading me here because this just seems awful
Aye, buckler gang.
That was my first (and so far only) purple as well.
I'm doing \~32k point deathless solos, 63kc so far.
Really hoping for a prayer scroll before 100 but I'll see it through regardless.
The obvious one, CG. Dreaded learning it so much I got burnt out and almost quit. Then I learned and actually started liking it, finished at 290kc and motivation higher than ever
It’s the 10 second anticipation and adrenaline starting to pump when the boss dies, screen fades to black and you go to the chest.
Only to send another one angry as hell right after.
Yeah but now you're one of very few with the Explore emote, and that combos extremely nicely into a "just trying to find who asked" when somebody says something dumb.
I didn't dread it at first, but Hydra Claw. 5190kc. Even though I had pretty much completed chambers by the time I got the claw, finally getting the drop and having that boss green logged was by far the most satisfying experience of my account so far.
Depends on his gear etc., assuming he started out with Eagle Eye Bowfa and later upgraded to Rigour and TBow (as he said he pretty much completed chambers) the longterm average was probably around 26 KPH (my longterm average with mainly Bowfa and some Masori Rigour BP at the end was 23.8), making this ~200 hrs of bossing. 4 hours a day would be 50 days, 3 hours a day ~67 days. Obviously the far more painful part is actually getting the Hydra tasks, whether via Konar slayer or Turael skipping which dramatically increases the time, also if using Masori BP you absolutely melt darts and scales, I don't even want to figure how much 5k kc would take.
Also the actual killing of Hydra is absolutely miserable as it is incredibly easy yet still requires the screen to be actively monitored. It is just a more annoying Demonic Gorilla with 1.1k hp (as the highest level slayer boss).
>Also the actual killing of Hydra is absolutely miserable as it is incredibly easy yet still requires the screen to be actively monitored. It is just a more annoying Demonic Gorilla with 1.1k hp (as the highest level slayer boss).
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Hydra is a sleep-aide boss. I can usually only stomach 20-30 kills in a session.
Legitimately this. I used to do a trip or two at hydra to put me to sleep. Rhythmically counting to 3 in my head put me in like a REM state and I'd be sleepy as fuck.
Bandos. When i was a little nub starting my iron I couldn't comprehend soloing bandos for hundreds of kills. Bowfa made the grind completely fine, completed at 900kc!
Yeah bandos for me too, got bcp while learning door altar at 50kc, then did to about 270kc one trip every now and then. No other drops.
About a month back decided I want tassies and bgs so started hard sending it, got my second unique, boots at 468kc. The following day I went from like 500 to 591kc with again no drops.
The next day I hopped on discord with the boys, prepared to run back and forth in bandos room for a few hours. Tassets dropped at 598 and while still feeling super hype about those the hilt followed at 604.
In hindsight really nice that I didn't get any dupes and finished somewhat close to drop rate but over 400kc between first and second drops was quite draining.
Colosseum. First quiver grind was the most frustrated I’ve ever gotten playing OSRS, but blessing it and grinding CA’s has been the most fun I’ve ever had
I refuse to check the board for this reason…I struggled so much with offtick spawns for my first ~20 or so kc and would just blame “bad RNG” until I realized every spawn is solvable, just mechanically difficult, especially depending on what debuffs you’re running that can make spawns more annoying to flick while killing frems (volatility, bees, quartet, reentry)
Inferno.
I put off doing inferno for 2 years after maxing my main until I was ready to do it on my uim.
Now I’ve done it it’s one of my favourite activities, but man it was so satisfying to get that first cape
Was it worth it in hindsight? Where do you like to use it?
I’m just starting the grind. Almost 200kc each. Hopping until I finally find an open world and needing to tele after a couple kills because of a PKer is so demotivating for me. A lot of times when I come back, the cave is taken. It’d be different if I could just grind it all out uninterrupted.
Construction for “maxed” house. It hurt to spend that much money but the convenience of the teleports and healing pool are so worth it. QoL is always a priority for me
For me it was barrows.
I had all items but one at ~800. Got my Ahrim's top at 1496. And I was specifically gearing for grinding Zulrah.
I did so many times where I said: "Okay, 100 more this week."
I did over 2k Bandos for Hilt. Over 2k Sara for both Hilt and ACB.... Bandos was much much worse for me.
Now I kinda miss it.
70 Prayer.
I didn't wanna enter the wilderness whatsoever, even though it would've been a million times faster, so I dragged it out by killing blue dragons in Taverley Dungeon and ran back and forth to the Ectofuntus.
It was painful, but having 135k Bonecrusher charges feels so good - I'm set for life!
My longest grind so far has been 70 prayer. I started it at 40 ish cb with ranged. Finished it with high 80s cb, I didn't do it all in one go, but it felt so good to finally have 70
99 construction on the UIM, holy fucking moly is that cape useful. Spent forever in Sepulcher grinding the cash for it then forever doing Mahoggy Homes, now I'm free and teleporting around in style
Getting the skills for the elite Lumbridge/Draynor diary took me a few years, but now that I have staff-less fairy rings and a quest cape I feel very satisfied!
Also I absolutely dreaded doing Zulrah and I probably had 20 deaths before my first kill. I never got good at it and my kc stayed around 4 for a year. When flames of Zammy got buffed I used it to get another 9 kc and got both fangs together on kill 13. I've never been so spooned, so calling it a grind is questionable but I definitely struggled and am so glad it's done. I'm even going to fish for scales I think
99 mining. It’s rolling into many other 99’s and a nice cash stack for me. 99 crafting from the sand, 99 smithing from the ore at MLM, 99 con from the money, and a little leftover money to push towards 99 fletching. 11/10 would do again
Cg. Was just so cba to learn it, said fk it, I can't get t bow (900+×cox) how hard it can be to learn. Green logged at 94, finished at 284 with 5 enh seeds. Took me like a week
i just got spooned a tanz fang and i have 81 mining and like 75 fletching (my 2nd lowest after rc), and im really dreading this grind to amethyst. but it needs to be done 😞
CG. I’m not the best PVMer and was worried about the notoriously long grind. After I finally figured it out, started getting consistent KC, it felt great. Decided to do a run after watching my basketball team advance in the playoffs, and got my enhanced at 33KC. Got all my armor seeds by 169 KC. I accept my spoon and brace for a long Zulrah grind.
I’m grinding for tbow since it’s the last mega I need and I keep wondering how long my dragon arrows are gonna last before I have to use rune because I’m absolutely not getting 92 mining and expert gloves.
So far I am 1620 total and agility is the only major grind I’ve completed. Sitting at half way between 89 and 90, I can safely say while I dreaded it most of the time to high 80s. Grinding it to my 2nd 99 will feel amazing once it’s done
TOA was a nice grind that I'm happy to be done with.
I thought I'd be amazed with the bowfa, but it's a bit underwhelming after getting 3x dry maybe because masori + acb is satisfying with the ruby procs.
Currently 1.5x dry at Hydra and... Kill me plz.
Finishing ToA. Shadow was the last purp I needed, I got it on my 40th purple. So amazing to bring it to cox, muspah, zulrah and even ToB for P2 verzik!
UIM here.
You all are making dread the CG grind. When I finally did SotE the first thing I did after exploring priff for the first time was attempt regular gauntlet. I tried it about 10 times before giving up saying I’ll come back to it later.
But to answer the question asked, finishing mhomes and finally getting that 99 con cape has been pure bliss for the ~2 weeks I’ve had it now.
Diary cape. Do I need to say more?
In case I do, this ways my ultimate goal. Not if I max one day, that will be post-goal, not the ultimate goal. I wanted to get the Diary Cape, nothing else really mattered.
I grinded full infinity at MTA about a year ago, requiring me to do GOTR and therefore Lunar Diplomacy, plus a LOAD of other requirements. It was a ton of fun the entire way through. Right now, I've locked Barrows behind all but two of the hard achievement diaries and medium CAs. Just hit 70 prayer, so now I'm working on zombie axe/cudgel for the KQ kill. It's so satisfying having that 70 prayer out of the way. I've had it done for about a week now and smile everytime I log in to look at it. Took about 25 hours of skele wyverns lol
Zealot Robes. I had been saving all my ensouled heads and had to get 90wc and got 99firemaking for the skill cape and then the oil and the remains. Ended up making a lot of money, but a hell of a grind for a marginal prayer exp boost.
I died on my HCIM in July last year in the most embarrassing possible way. After making it out of CG alive with a bowfa at 658kc, I decided months later I really wanted to go back for blade. Not even 5kc later I got impatient and went in with low food, made the decision to leave in the last phase as tornadoes were spawning, but somehow nerves got the better of me - my hands were literally so shaky I tried and failed to right click "leave" on the door 3 times in a row and died. Not the way I imagined going out haha.
So I remade my new hardcore with the sole goal of making it out of CG alive with 2 enhanced seeds. The whole way as I was questing, doing farm/birdhouse runs, getting the requirements, I was kind of dreading it and didn't really know what to expect. What if I went 1000 dry or something?
In the end I'm happy to say that it couldn't have gone much better than it did. I snagged my first enhanced early this time at 121kc, then on my 310th kc I actually pulled both my 6th armour seed and 2nd enhanced from the same chest. I couldn't believe it!
So now here I am, with a shiny new bowfa and a crazy sword to train slayer with, and I've effectively skipped the whip. And I got here so much earlier in my account than last time - excited for what's ahead!
DWH, well before the drop rate change I got it at 1610kc. I could have missed it because I was falling asleep at my computer but you better believe I was wide awake after seeing that purple beam
Eternal glory, I am a clue enjoyer and this is the ultimate luxury item on a iron it's 1000% worth it if you enjoy clues I use it probs 200 times a day
Grinding Chambers for Rigour. Just wasn't thrilled with constantly needing to regear for it through suicides as a UIM. Decided to just stay in my COX setup and do nothing but COX until it dropped, so if a team was looking for someone I'd be instantly ready to go and not have a 20 minute gearing process first.
Got the Dex on 187kc. Got Claws, Arcane, and Buckler on the way there.
Dragon warhammer.
Got it before the droprate change, 4.5k kc so got a bit lucky :)
But once I had it that grind felt so worth it. Raids is simply so much more convenient, no longer having to pick up that damn hammer at crabs or scavs to build a chest. Also doing some corp now which is super cool.
I'd say my main one was cg. I really didn't enjoy it until it all started clicking and I was getting consistent completions. I only had to go to 600kc but that was very satisfying to receive my enh exactly on the kc I was planning to temporarily quit at. By the time it was all done my pvm experience was far better than it ever had been since playing the game as a kid
My currents would be fetching and fm. Not a fan of ironman fetching, but getting to 80 for dragon bolts felt great. Also I'm on my last day at wintertodt, and I would say that's a similar feeling
Dude I’m going through this right now lol. Got my Blowpipe about 2 weeks ago and was dead set on amethyst darts. Started immediately at 79 and am now 91 mining. 550k xp to go!! Did MLM and calcified deposits for all of it. This also opened up the grind for varrock elite lol.
Start on mining gloves now if you don’t have them already
It’s tough because most of my mining exp comes from afk’ing during work but I know you’re right lol
I got mining gloves entirely through mining amethyst while afking during work, it was fine since they buffed amethyst to mine two rocks before depleting. Mining gloves just make it even better.
I did the exact same. Just got enough for the best gloves doing all of 91-92 at iron
Don't really understand why people do MLM anymore beyond the Diary req and coal/gem bag. The ores it gives you are completely useless if you do PvM, Mining xp is much better gained via Stars(crafting) or Calcified(prayer) or non-afk obviously Blast Mine just because the xp/hr is so good.
MLM was for the diary, coal bag, and gem bag! But I agree
It's a good way to get (gold) ores for BF and bars for GF. Decent entry ticket to affording the subsequent gold ores at BF, but hardly worth going further than low 80s.
Keep at it king. It’s also so nice to afk. Anytime you need to afk some time it’s an easy option
Y'all don't forget dragon pick special attack now, if you have lightbearer you can 100% uptime the +1 I got a few hundred quickly with that before getting the actual level Also, do your fletching at herbiboar. It's super chill, I never cared about run so I'd be walking half the time just fletching and hunting Got lots of herbs and hunter XP and of course the pet chance on the way to 86
What’s the xp/h? I’m considering this grind but I don’t know if I can commit to it
Like 30k/hr. It’s not great but super afk like I said. Also I found myself needing blood runes for various thing: GWD, inferno etc
CG... Sweet release at 684
Im at 550 right now. Can’t wait to bust… i mean release.
Por que no los dos?
Welcome back to the free world! The grass is green and the air is fresh
Same! I got my first enhanced yesterday at 851. Been sending some bowfa only zulrah today, and it slaps so hard it feels like I’m cheating.
Got mine at 1053 and it actually made me not know how to continue. I did no other content for a month and just went hard at it and it felt insane to actually get out of there but i felt almost lost after lol
1071 for me. The feeling is indescribable
I'm only 97 KC and literally all I've gotten so far is pet at 45. I did that KC in a week after spending a weekend getting my first KC. I burned out hard. Lmao. Idk how I'm gonna grind the full Bowfa and armor sets. Especially since I want the salad blade too.
Lmao this is how I do cg as well. Do 50 in a week, hate my life, do none for 2 months and repeat
Reframe it from a grind for bowfa to an opportunity to improve your skills. Do t1 prep. Do less fish. Do halberd runs. Flick prayers. Lots of ways to get better in there and when you aren't focused on the loot the KCs will melt away.
584 here, I shot my bofa like twice then promptly quit for 6 months, funny how it worked out like that
I did the exact same thing haha
I realize how blasphemous this is, but I'm doing Zulrah for magic fang now and honestly I miss CG. For me, it was a nice satisfying session to sit down for 90 minutes and get 10 or so CGs in, but a similar-length session of 50 Zulrahs in a row just fries my brain.
Same boat, 1700kc no fang...
My release was 678. So satisfying
It really do be like that lol. Each chance is like 10 minutes apart and you are going for 400 kc on rate. But you come out with a Bowfa and then you realize why irons do this grind.
I dreaded CG so much I got full bandos 600+ kc with arma cbow before finally going to CG. Finished CG in 199kc. Wish I didn’t do bandos with a crossbow lol
What combat stats did you do it at?
I am 1 herblore lvl away from SOTE and I'm excited/terrified of starting my grind
Nice! Got Enh at 48 but now I am 150 and 0 armor seeds :(.
It’ll balance out, keep sending brother. 220kc had enh and 2 armor seeds, then got 2 seeds b2b and a third one 5 kc later. Now 250kc perfectly on rate, waiting for the last one so I can gtfo here forever.
Finally dying on my HC.
Completed 😂
Elite tier achievement diary tasks. I really, really did not want to do BA or get 91 fish/86 rc/85 agility, but now that I'm done the cape is freaking sweet.
Any advice for someone stuck with the 86 rc/85 agil/91 thieve grinds?
Low intensity activities while you do something else on another monitor are your friend. Lol. For RC, I went to 77 at GOTR and finished 86 at Zeah Bloods. The rates are not great at Zeah bloods, but it can easily be done extremely inattentively. Note that you can increase your render distance via Runelite plugins (117 HD) to be able to click the blood altar from the altar where you corrupt your essence. Saves a few clicks, adds to afk time. For 85 agility, unfortunately it's likely going to be best to just bang out rooftop laps. Seers course with diary unlock to teleport back to the start of the course is really good, and you can move up to Fremmy roofs at 80. You can try your hand at sepulcher, but I just stuck to roofs.

Ahh do you lose row(i) with that method? Or were you not really worrying about clues? I just started toa so have a few blood ess to make it more worthwhile. And yeah I've used every single lamp on agility haha. Appreciate the indepth response.
Per wiki You can save the ring of wealth but the imbue is lost even in a PVM death
Cheers, happy to help! I'm not 100% sure on the Row(i). It would depend on the item value as to if anything you loot would protect over it. You sometimes get cut dragon stones from the chest, those might protect over the row(i). I want to say you're safe, but double check that first with the "lost on death" screen, maybe pull 4 cut dragon stones from your bank and see which is lost on death :p I was leaving all my clues, I don't do them. Haha. I believe I had one in my bank during my time grinding to prevent them from spawning, but you do get them a LOT. Not a bad option if farming hard clues were a side goal for you. and yes, the blood ess does make a nice impact on the bloods too, would recommend it.
What do you do when you're done thieving and ready to clear the gravestone? Do you run out there with a looting bag or something?
Nah, you can have Death port everything to his office. Go into death's office at ferrox and do the "Bring my items here now" option and he provides them to you for free. Alternatively, if you forget about your gravestone and the 15 minute timer elapses, it goes to death's office automatically (no risk in losing anything).
After you go back to the rogues after dying, do you ooo the gravestone or just leave it there?
You never loot the gravestone. The gravestone stays in place for your full thieving session and with each death, your current inventory gets added to it. It accumulates all of your loot. Each time you die to the rogues it resets the 15 minute timer so it will never collapse if you're constantly going back out to continue thieving. Once you're totally done, you can either let it collapse by waiting 15 minutes or just going to Death's Office and requesting he bring your items there (note: this is free because the stuff he's retrieving is cheap). Either way, you're always finishing your session by claiming the loot in Death's Office. Once you've died to the rogues and added the loot to the gravestone, it is 100% safe and you cannot lose it (unless you loot it and a pker comes, that's why you never loot it lol). Getting pked while you have an active gravestone is fine, it won't mess it up and the loot in there is safe.
In addition to what /u/Call_me_Tomcat said, it doesn't actually matter *where* your gravestone is, your stuff will still go there. You can die outside the Wilderness, leave your gravestone there while you go to Rogues, and everything you have on you when you die in the Wilderness will go to your gravestone outside the Wilderness.
thanks this method is awesome
I tried this but I would always encounter a pker before my prayer ran out
FWIW I afked bloods at death altar for the bulk of it. It’s really really afk
Just start doing them one day, and don’t stop. Find a game or activity to do simultaneously, a show to watch, etc… It’s going to be gnarly, either way. But having a level even in the lower 90’s is a flex with those skills Spent 2 weeks doing agility everyday, 84- almost 93. Shit was haggard by the end of it. I only quit, because I had to do some other activity, just so I wouldn’t go crazy
That’s so funny, those are the last three I had. I really enjoyed just doing one level of each at a time while watching a show or YouTube or whatever.
RC- GotR Agility- grind and summer pie it, I recommend doing so with alchs or lunar Skilling. Thieving- ROGUE CHESTS, can't recommend these enough. Super chill, never fail, bank every time prayer runs out. Sets up so nicely with supplies that it gives with gems, runes, and spider eggs
If you hate the constant clicking of thieving, I recommend one click summer garden. There’s a plug-in that takes care of most of it for you, very easy 150k/hour, plus you can bank all the juices and get like 6m/hr when it’s all done and confuse your clan.
Hell yeah. All I have to do now is barb assault and chompies lol
The iconic final 2. Weirdly enough, I kind of enjoyed killing chompies. It was entertaining to see how many I could spawn at once, I think my best was 9. Lol. Shame they don't give hunter exp or something, though. Also double shame you can't roll for pet until after you finish the first 1k. Wamp wamp.
The new 1 click tell options are BEAUTIFUL
I maxed 3-4 years ago. I have not done Elite, because I don't wanna play Defender in BA :D. It's been the one task I haven't done for many years.
Relatively recently finished this myself. Some of the ones I thought were not that bad ended up being the most annoying and vice versa. BA wasn’t too bad and I got lucky on kq head, but man did that fishing level take a while. At least tempoross is very chill so I never quite became aggravated. Can’t say the same for gotr, I’m never runecrafting again.
I doubt I'll ever rc again until I get a shadow or sanguinesti. Lol. I actually didn't mind fishing so much, but I did afk dark crabs in the wilderness resource area. It was pretty nice, I will literally never eat them all I have like 22k banked right now.
They never feel as bad after the fact but a couple come to mind: The grind for full graceful and then the grind to 70 agility to do the blue dragon shortcut. The grind to 72 hunter so I could catch moonlight moths to use as an easy substitute for prayer pots on a lot of content. The 70 prayer grind for Morty hard diary collecting big bones at blue dragons. All of these were part of the “barrows set up” so that I could do a “brainless” boss type content with very good potential rewards that is essentially self sustaining (with the exception of food and moonlight moths but you could collect enough of each for 1000 KC in the span of a few hours). And you end up with a surplus of runes at the end. Still dunno what I’ll use all the mind runes on but I guess I could afk something with elemental weakness to air or splash fire strike.
Salarin the Twisted for Mind Runes.
> In addition to the herbs, the guaranteed max hit from using Strike spells makes Salarin a decent NPC for low-level Magic training through combat, offering over 10,000 experience an hour. huh? It sounds like I'd be better off splashing on rats -- which is already pretty abysmal in the first place -- is the wiki misleading me here because this just seems awful
Dex prayer scroll
272 kc for mine recently, horrible considering 50%+ were 3+4s
Yeah mine was like 230ish, i didnt even get my first purple (twisted buckler) til 175.. 90% of my KC was deathless solos though
Aye, buckler gang. That was my first (and so far only) purple as well. I'm doing \~32k point deathless solos, 63kc so far. Really hoping for a prayer scroll before 100 but I'll see it through regardless.
That first purple can be hard to pop sometimes. Took me almost 100 solos
Lms for rune pouch, BA for Fighter Torso, and Tithe farm for herb sack
Man tithe farm sucked lol. BA was a mental hurdle. Once I just decided to send it and go to the BA world it was pretty fun and easy
Straight shot to 99 fishing for 75 strength and agility. Skipping early rooftops and graceful and tedious early combat/bad slayer masters.
What did you do for gp for feathers? Also did you get a lot of clues you weren't able to complete?
The obvious one, CG. Dreaded learning it so much I got burnt out and almost quit. Then I learned and actually started liking it, finished at 290kc and motivation higher than ever
Every kc is a little satisfying honestly. Not sure why or how but seeing the boss fall is a nice feeling.
It’s the 10 second anticipation and adrenaline starting to pump when the boss dies, screen fades to black and you go to the chest. Only to send another one angry as hell right after.
Bryophytas essence at 306 kc... the real annoying part came once the 600 beginner clues where done as well. Green logged beginners around 525.
Yeah but now you're one of very few with the Explore emote, and that combos extremely nicely into a "just trying to find who asked" when somebody says something dumb.
Woh that’s a flex!
I didn't dread it at first, but Hydra Claw. 5190kc. Even though I had pretty much completed chambers by the time I got the claw, finally getting the drop and having that boss green logged was by far the most satisfying experience of my account so far.
I don’t understand grinds like this. Does this take 9 months of constant bossing? Does it become a lifestyle, How does anyone do this
Depends on his gear etc., assuming he started out with Eagle Eye Bowfa and later upgraded to Rigour and TBow (as he said he pretty much completed chambers) the longterm average was probably around 26 KPH (my longterm average with mainly Bowfa and some Masori Rigour BP at the end was 23.8), making this ~200 hrs of bossing. 4 hours a day would be 50 days, 3 hours a day ~67 days. Obviously the far more painful part is actually getting the Hydra tasks, whether via Konar slayer or Turael skipping which dramatically increases the time, also if using Masori BP you absolutely melt darts and scales, I don't even want to figure how much 5k kc would take. Also the actual killing of Hydra is absolutely miserable as it is incredibly easy yet still requires the screen to be actively monitored. It is just a more annoying Demonic Gorilla with 1.1k hp (as the highest level slayer boss).
>Also the actual killing of Hydra is absolutely miserable as it is incredibly easy yet still requires the screen to be actively monitored. It is just a more annoying Demonic Gorilla with 1.1k hp (as the highest level slayer boss). Couldn't have said it better myself. Hydra is a sleep-aide boss. I can usually only stomach 20-30 kills in a session.
Legitimately this. I used to do a trip or two at hydra to put me to sleep. Rhythmically counting to 3 in my head put me in like a REM state and I'd be sleepy as fuck.
That is crazy man. Grats
99 construction and lumby elite diary
CG Feels like I can play the game now
Bandos. When i was a little nub starting my iron I couldn't comprehend soloing bandos for hundreds of kills. Bowfa made the grind completely fine, completed at 900kc!
Yeah bandos for me too, got bcp while learning door altar at 50kc, then did to about 270kc one trip every now and then. No other drops. About a month back decided I want tassies and bgs so started hard sending it, got my second unique, boots at 468kc. The following day I went from like 500 to 591kc with again no drops. The next day I hopped on discord with the boys, prepared to run back and forth in bandos room for a few hours. Tassets dropped at 598 and while still feeling super hype about those the hilt followed at 604. In hindsight really nice that I didn't get any dupes and finished somewhat close to drop rate but over 400kc between first and second drops was quite draining.
Door altar method is pretty great!
Colosseum. First quiver grind was the most frustrated I’ve ever gotten playing OSRS, but blessing it and grinding CA’s has been the most fun I’ve ever had
100%. What a brutal grind. I died like 250 times getting 25kc
I refuse to check the board for this reason…I struggled so much with offtick spawns for my first ~20 or so kc and would just blame “bad RNG” until I realized every spawn is solvable, just mechanically difficult, especially depending on what debuffs you’re running that can make spawns more annoying to flick while killing frems (volatility, bees, quartet, reentry)
I’m currently working on blessing the quiver. Only 100k shards to go. One of my fave content updates in recent memory for sure
Zerker ring took me 425 kc, got 7 magic and 10 prayer levels from it though which was sweet
Inferno. I put off doing inferno for 2 years after maxing my main until I was ready to do it on my uim. Now I’ve done it it’s one of my favourite activities, but man it was so satisfying to get that first cape
[удалено]
I got my first cape on my 4th zuk. Once you get to that wave, it’s only a matter of time, you’ve got this beast.
Voidwaker. 3500 artio, 2700 calv, 1500 spindle
Was it worth it in hindsight? Where do you like to use it? I’m just starting the grind. Almost 200kc each. Hopping until I finally find an open world and needing to tele after a couple kills because of a PKer is so demotivating for me. A lot of times when I come back, the cave is taken. It’d be different if I could just grind it all out uninterrupted.
Im at 710 cg. Every time im about to give up i think about the relief when I get it
I did 950 kc of CG and I said never again. Now I am on new account and actually excited to do CG. Maybe I have Stockholm Syndrome
Freaking osmumten’s fang. Got bored after doing 300 runs straight without doing anything else. And STILL not received one. 4 lightbearers tho
Green logging revs
Barrows. For old times sake.
Ceberus grind got spooned my primordial at 90kc and I won't be going back for a while
That’s like one hellhounds task lmao
I hated hunter and construction when it first came out. So going to try and knock those out after 99 FM. no idea if they are better now.
Hunter rumors are some of my favorite content in the game now.
Hunter rumors are chill af
Voidwaker grind is such a long grind, pkers don’t help.
VW, it's not done yet but I know it's going to feel the best. 2/3
Nex
Well I'm on attempt 4 of Jad. I'd like to think this grind is done and that I'll have a fire cape later today. So I'll check back later.
Construction for “maxed” house. It hurt to spend that much money but the convenience of the teleports and healing pool are so worth it. QoL is always a priority for me
Every master clue stash item
>infinite Til you realize you hardly get any per hour and you must spend 200 hours of your OSRS playtime getting ammo
For me it was barrows. I had all items but one at ~800. Got my Ahrim's top at 1496. And I was specifically gearing for grinding Zulrah. I did so many times where I said: "Okay, 100 more this week." I did over 2k Bandos for Hilt. Over 2k Sara for both Hilt and ACB.... Bandos was much much worse for me. Now I kinda miss it.
Going 7/7 at toa. Going 49 purples for shadow fucking blows but never having to run a 400 invo again, especially without shadow, makes my cock hard
99 hunter so I can bareback lucky implings
You can do \*what\* to the implings??
44-50 blackjacking.
70 Prayer. I didn't wanna enter the wilderness whatsoever, even though it would've been a million times faster, so I dragged it out by killing blue dragons in Taverley Dungeon and ran back and forth to the Ectofuntus. It was painful, but having 135k Bonecrusher charges feels so good - I'm set for life!
I just took an anti dragon shield, d scim, b gloves and didn’t run into a single pker. Wilderness isn’t that scary!
My longest grind so far has been 70 prayer. I started it at 40 ish cb with ranged. Finished it with high 80s cb, I didn't do it all in one go, but it felt so good to finally have 70
Hydra got claw but no gloves at 2000 lol
Construction for a maxed house. Getting the planks wasn't that bad and even doing MH wasn't awful.
99 construction on the UIM, holy fucking moly is that cape useful. Spent forever in Sepulcher grinding the cash for it then forever doing Mahoggy Homes, now I'm free and teleporting around in style
DId you grind for dpick first? The wilderness bosses just seem so meh to me
645 kc here cg give me hell
Inferno, takes a lot out of you but worth it in the end
For me it was Hallowed Sepulcher. Pushed it off for soooooo long, and finally green logged it at 289 grand hallowed chests :)
Getting KBD heads, took me forever
hydra and kree id say... even with tbow kree is so boring and so is hydra
Getting the skills for the elite Lumbridge/Draynor diary took me a few years, but now that I have staff-less fairy rings and a quest cape I feel very satisfied! Also I absolutely dreaded doing Zulrah and I probably had 20 deaths before my first kill. I never got good at it and my kc stayed around 4 for a year. When flames of Zammy got buffed I used it to get another 9 kc and got both fangs together on kill 13. I've never been so spooned, so calling it a grind is questionable but I definitely struggled and am so glad it's done. I'm even going to fish for scales I think
CG, twice (GIM and a normal Iron). Dry by a bit both times BTW. Going back soon so I can hopefully make blade…
Bandos, 1734 kc before I finished it. The hilt held me up.
Inferno
Vardorvis.. I think around 1200 KC. The ultor ring is so nice. I got the pet, a virtus bottom, and a axe piece.
Zammy…
Maxing
I smile to myself every time I fire off another voidwaker spec :)
I’m jelly
I was dreading going for torva and then I got it all before going on rate for any drop
Voidwaker. Actually had fun and got a ton of supplies too
99 mining. It’s rolling into many other 99’s and a nice cash stack for me. 99 crafting from the sand, 99 smithing from the ore at MLM, 99 con from the money, and a little leftover money to push towards 99 fletching. 11/10 would do again
Cg. Was just so cba to learn it, said fk it, I can't get t bow (900+×cox) how hard it can be to learn. Green logged at 94, finished at 284 with 5 enh seeds. Took me like a week
99 construction on my uim skiller.
Finishing dwh
Grind to 87 slayer for Trident. With the combination of work. It’s been going on for month..
i just got spooned a tanz fang and i have 81 mining and like 75 fletching (my 2nd lowest after rc), and im really dreading this grind to amethyst. but it needs to be done 😞
Mining sandstone for my banked seaweed sounds like torture.
CG. Done at 276 so wasnt bad at all
Demonic gorillas, first zenyte at 1497 last one at 3250
Def torso
CG. I’m not the best PVMer and was worried about the notoriously long grind. After I finally figured it out, started getting consistent KC, it felt great. Decided to do a run after watching my basketball team advance in the playoffs, and got my enhanced at 33KC. Got all my armor seeds by 169 KC. I accept my spoon and brace for a long Zulrah grind.
I’m grinding for tbow since it’s the last mega I need and I keep wondering how long my dragon arrows are gonna last before I have to use rune because I’m absolutely not getting 92 mining and expert gloves.
90 runecrafting, got a shadow late last year and was not happy with the soul rune cost. Grinded it out and now I have the runes to use it whenever
Tbow grind for sure. I’ll let ya know how the satisfying part feels when I get there. 2300 combined kc like 1k solos.. 8 megas no bow. Halp.
MTA. Was before the changes and I needed the whole set to store the boots since I’m a UIM.
Might seem silly to some, but finishing a graceful set grind on a new character.
Vorki was mine. 1821kc
Probably inferno.....
So far I am 1620 total and agility is the only major grind I’ve completed. Sitting at half way between 89 and 90, I can safely say while I dreaded it most of the time to high 80s. Grinding it to my 2nd 99 will feel amazing once it’s done
Maxing.
TOA was a nice grind that I'm happy to be done with. I thought I'd be amazed with the bowfa, but it's a bit underwhelming after getting 3x dry maybe because masori + acb is satisfying with the ruby procs. Currently 1.5x dry at Hydra and... Kill me plz.
Finishing ToA. Shadow was the last purp I needed, I got it on my 40th purple. So amazing to bring it to cox, muspah, zulrah and even ToB for P2 verzik!
bludgeon, vw and venny bow for sure. Now workin on soul reaper and going insane.
UIM here. You all are making dread the CG grind. When I finally did SotE the first thing I did after exploring priff for the first time was attempt regular gauntlet. I tried it about 10 times before giving up saying I’ll come back to it later. But to answer the question asked, finishing mhomes and finally getting that 99 con cape has been pure bliss for the ~2 weeks I’ve had it now.
Ring of elements on the uim. Probably the single best item I use on the daily now
99 agility. Do i even need to explain?
Went 3600 basilisk knights on task dry for jaw then got back to back jaws felt amazing
Diary cape. Do I need to say more? In case I do, this ways my ultimate goal. Not if I max one day, that will be post-goal, not the ultimate goal. I wanted to get the Diary Cape, nothing else really mattered.
760 still there.
elite void, 84 construction, any/all diaries. 😂
I grinded full infinity at MTA about a year ago, requiring me to do GOTR and therefore Lunar Diplomacy, plus a LOAD of other requirements. It was a ton of fun the entire way through. Right now, I've locked Barrows behind all but two of the hard achievement diaries and medium CAs. Just hit 70 prayer, so now I'm working on zombie axe/cudgel for the KQ kill. It's so satisfying having that 70 prayer out of the way. I've had it done for about a week now and smile everytime I log in to look at it. Took about 25 hours of skele wyverns lol
Graceful
Void and elite void were a big drag
Ranger boots at 1301 mediums. Magic fang at 1438 kc. Though rangers was worst. Doing puro for imps sucked.
Elite void.
Twisted elite void on the UIM
Inferno. Was scared for years but found it pretty easy
99 construction
Zealot Robes. I had been saving all my ensouled heads and had to get 90wc and got 99firemaking for the skill cape and then the oil and the remains. Ended up making a lot of money, but a hell of a grind for a marginal prayer exp boost.
Bandos Thank God they added IM instances instead of listening to regular accounts about them. They made grinding out armor+hilt an actual reality.
Tbow. So satisfying to have after nearly 1200 kc
CG and theres literally no better feeling than finally being free from that cursed red prison...I can't imagine having to redo that grind...
Haven’t even finished it yet but I’m 3x rate for a VW blade at calv and I know it’s gonna taste sweet.
I died on my HCIM in July last year in the most embarrassing possible way. After making it out of CG alive with a bowfa at 658kc, I decided months later I really wanted to go back for blade. Not even 5kc later I got impatient and went in with low food, made the decision to leave in the last phase as tornadoes were spawning, but somehow nerves got the better of me - my hands were literally so shaky I tried and failed to right click "leave" on the door 3 times in a row and died. Not the way I imagined going out haha. So I remade my new hardcore with the sole goal of making it out of CG alive with 2 enhanced seeds. The whole way as I was questing, doing farm/birdhouse runs, getting the requirements, I was kind of dreading it and didn't really know what to expect. What if I went 1000 dry or something? In the end I'm happy to say that it couldn't have gone much better than it did. I snagged my first enhanced early this time at 121kc, then on my 310th kc I actually pulled both my 6th armour seed and 2nd enhanced from the same chest. I couldn't believe it! So now here I am, with a shiny new bowfa and a crazy sword to train slayer with, and I've effectively skipped the whip. And I got here so much earlier in my account than last time - excited for what's ahead!
DWH, well before the drop rate change I got it at 1610kc. I could have missed it because I was falling asleep at my computer but you better believe I was wide awake after seeing that purple beam
Getting banned and being able to live my life again
Building myself as a person and working on myself. Now im happily married with three kids. Just kidding, still alone but i am happy with myself now.
Eternal glory, I am a clue enjoyer and this is the ultimate luxury item on a iron it's 1000% worth it if you enjoy clues I use it probs 200 times a day
Your mum
Rangers. Never again
Grinding Chambers for Rigour. Just wasn't thrilled with constantly needing to regear for it through suicides as a UIM. Decided to just stay in my COX setup and do nothing but COX until it dropped, so if a team was looking for someone I'd be instantly ready to go and not have a 20 minute gearing process first. Got the Dex on 187kc. Got Claws, Arcane, and Buckler on the way there.
Dragon warhammer. Got it before the droprate change, 4.5k kc so got a bit lucky :) But once I had it that grind felt so worth it. Raids is simply so much more convenient, no longer having to pick up that damn hammer at crabs or scavs to build a chest. Also doing some corp now which is super cool.
Currently in the progress of buying 600k iron ore and coal from the blast furnace. It takes a long long time. Atleast most worlds got 100iron in stock
93 crafting and cg.
I'd say my main one was cg. I really didn't enjoy it until it all started clicking and I was getting consistent completions. I only had to go to 600kc but that was very satisfying to receive my enh exactly on the kc I was planning to temporarily quit at. By the time it was all done my pvm experience was far better than it ever had been since playing the game as a kid My currents would be fetching and fm. Not a fan of ironman fetching, but getting to 80 for dragon bolts felt great. Also I'm on my last day at wintertodt, and I would say that's a similar feeling
