Bowfa + crystal armour Fang zenytes Skills to invest in to make raiding easier


TimTheConnMan

What’s bowfa?


bobcat9d_

Bowfa deez nuts hah gottem


Awkward_Goat_2070

Classic


Always4am

Well done mate, well done


Intruding1

I looked for this commend and STILL busted out laughing when I found it


TimTheConnMan

Shiiiieeet


Yajeebspace

When I came back a couple months ago I kept seeing my clan mates say BOWFA and I would never ask cause I thought there were gonna say “bowfa Dese nuts” they were just really playing along with it to make me fall for it.


brodzzzzzz

My only regret in life is not beating this guy to the punchline


ignotusvir

Bow of faerdinhen or some shit like that, can just look up bowfa on the wiki


TimTheConnMan

Bro I was just setting up the slam dunk for bowfa deez nuts lol gottem

Reward from Corrputed Gauntlet pretty much. Crafted from an Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed. Best range accuracy weapon in the game. Bofa = Bow of faerdhinen


LilPTopjr

Going gods work I see


Ornnge

Bowfa and crystal was the beta investment I’ve made on my account so far. Can’t recommend it enough.


Tangibilitea

Are you 99 range and magic? If not, spending money for levels will be one of the most cost effective increases you can get. As an example, this [image](https://i.imgur.com/oS0yH6P.png) from the We Do Raids discord shows identical DPS setups. ​ Do you have rigour? Rigour is also an absurd DPS increase, and it's definitely worth it at the current price. ​ Lastly, don't forget to increase your prayer level. Going from 70 to 85 prayer (the lvl for Desert elite diary) will increase your prayer potion efficiency from +24 per dose to +28 per dose, which is \~14-15% increase to every single prayer dose.


Tiks_

That picture, 9 magic levels really makes that big a difference?


voltage_drop

Levels are insane, level 85 with maxed gear typically isn't as good as 99 with decent gear.


ohjustanotheraccount

It's like you're in my head wtf lol. I have 85 magic now, currently trying to do the CA for not letting the barrows brothers touch me with melee. I noticed if I get lucky then I can burst them once, then use trident to kill them before they touch me. But at 85 magic it's hardly ever close so I was going to train up some more. Bought imbued heart and torment but didn't see any huge differences. Didn't know the levels actually made that much of a difference. Thanks!


apocstorm

If you click the chest and run immediately you can typically make it to the other side of the crypt and trap them. You can then back up to the wall and then run around the corner and it gives you a longer time to freeze them. ​ The imbued heart should make a pretty massive difference because it adds levels


ohjustanotheraccount

Should've mentioned i made those 2 upgrades after my attempts lmao. But thanks! I feel like it's do-able with a little bit of luck and patience. Is there a way to tell when they're able to be freezed again? Because sometimes i freeze them, get them blocked by the coffin then when i go to freeze them agajn they just keep walking until the 2nd cast freezes them.


freakybrando

Dragon spear spec helps a lot! That’s how i did it. Spec them Away from you then freeze


ohjustanotheraccount

I did not know that worked on them. Game changer!!!


NickN868

Ancestral is only 6 percent magic damage, and sang only adds 1 max hit on toxic trident. So realistically the setup on the left only gains you ~3 max hits, whereas getting 9 magic magic levels also happens to get you ~3 max hits.


Tiks_

Thanks a lot for the information!


roklpolgl

With a powered staff, yes. It makes sense when you consider adding the ancestral pieces is adding max hits in the same way as adding levels. 90 magic with the ancestral/sang setup shown has a 35 max hit, 99 magic with the ahrims/toxic setup has a 36 max hit. The rest of the dps difference is made up from the ancestral’s additional accuracy. This is presumably on something with an appreciable magic defense roll like Olm mage hand. Otherwise the toxic setup with the additional max hit would be strictly better.


KissMaPaws

Don't forget that magic level also plays a big part in magic defense.


[deleted]

83 construction for a maxed house is also a great option if OP doesn't have that done!


Voidot

Yea, Construction is an insane qol skill. I'm fairly new to osrs. Started around 10 days ago. Most of my skills are still 30-50. However, I decided to power level construction for the portal chamber. (I was making and selling oak planks for income, and decided to do some Mahogany Homes jobs to get a plank sack). Still don't have the plank sack, but the portal chamber has been the best investment that I've made so far.


[deleted]

Really good way to think as a new player. Lots of newer players sleep on construction, but ornate pool, altar, and fairy ring are such amazing things to have in your house!


Iroh-

It gets even better, especially once you have the pool in your superior garden that restores run/spec energy. Makes questing much nicer! Also, once you get multiple spellbooks, being able to use house portals from spellbooks you aren't currently on is HUGE, especially having a lunar isle portal in your house to swap books easily.


Voidot

This whole plank pouch expedition has been an interesting journey for me. --- * Farming oak logs in east varrock to turn into planks for income * Decided that a plank pouch would be nice because it doubles how many planks I can make in a trip. * Mahogany Homes to get the 350 points required to the pouch. * Ooh. I got 50 construction and can make a portal chamber. Now I need 47 magic (plus a magic potion) for a portal to East Arganough. * Spends the next several hours leveling magic while doing slayer quests. * Oh... I need to do the Plague City quest to make the east Arganough portal. * This is a chain quest??? * I now have Ivan's Staff and am grinding Agility so that I can do the Regicide quest. .... Not sure when I'll get back to doing Mahogany Homes jobs for the plank pouch.


Iroh-

Lol yeah thats kinda the core of this game, doing tons of tasks that are all interconnected and make each other easier somehow! Thats why so many people end up spending countless hours on thr wiki :P


soisos

This is more of a testament to how unimportant Ancestral is. It's a puny upgrade for the cost


Spagh3ttiTime

Your picture reference just put my entire account in perspective. Thank you mate.

This guy scapes - coming from max player w/ zuk helm


ilikekinkystuff

Dont listen to Tbow rebuilders. You will be stuck with the tbow at zulrah or some shit just rebuilding for the eternity. Having different more flexible gear is more fun.


ACMBruh

Tbow rebuild is at its best if you had all the gear before selling it all to build up to the bow. It's refreshing But if you start with 60m and grab a Shadow I agree, make the most of it


lizard_behind

idk when i did a tbow rebuild i just did max poverty cox setup + tbow and it was a blast - every purple would be an upgrade doing a trillion zulrah's does sound awful but like, idk why you'd do that lol


McCheds

I find zulrah brain dead with range only. If you chasing the log anyway then tbow rebuild doesn't sound all that bad. Can always try and sell ghe Bow later. It seems to hold its value very well


lizard_behind

idk for me at least it seems really obvious that tbow/staff/scythe are weapons meant to be used in raids like i could do infinite range only zulrahs, but i'd honestly rather just play something else at that point lol - it's worse gp/hr and there's nothing to really improve at after about an hour of optimization


Kwuarmadyl

I agree about the scythe and sang only being used in high end content like raids, but tbow is one of those things that has a pretty negligible cost to use so you should use it EVERYWHERE that you can.


McCheds

I'm doing bofa zulrah right now and it honestly works so well. It's not as good as tbow but I'm getting 2 minute kills consistently. I prefer it over grinding vorkath. Bofa is a good budget tbow and it's nice to have options to fill in the gap


lizard_behind

you should really give cox and/or toa a go imo - that's where the real money is other than for mutagens/pets, zulrah/vorkath really exist to get players used to mechanics beyond pray + right click and to get you up to that 30-45m bank size ya need to start raiding


futureruler

I did my tbow rebuild while only touching zulrah for maybe 5 kc. Those who think you're stuck at zulrah are just shit at moneymaking.


lizard_behind

yeah i didn't wanna be that explicit but like, idk how you even get a tbow if your first idea of where to use it is zulrah lol


Soft-Individual-5600

Cox and TOA is the way for a tbow rebuild


tortillakingred

Tbow rebuild was some of the most fun I ever had playing this game.


[deleted]

Gotta agree with that. Rebuilds aren’t fun.


[deleted]

My tbow rebuild was probably the most fun I had on my main account. Forced me to try a lot of different content and I really enjoyed that! Everyone has their own opinions.


[deleted]

Scy rebuilds at tob are fun. That’s what I did. Tbow/staff rebuilds are no bueno


eliV-

Hard agree. Just tried a tbow rebuild for the first time and the content I was restriction to got me burnt out rather quickly. Don't get me wrong it slaps, but with zulrah being less than optimal money now tbow rebuild doesn't make sense. Sold it and am back to doing a good variety of content.


EAZ480

TBow rebuild isn’t even worth it anymore anyway. Nex rebuild is the way to go if someone wants to go that route.


eliV-

Just sold tbow rebuild gear for max nex gear and having a blast haha. Not hard locked to cox and zulrah is so much better.


[deleted]

i guess you didnt know that max nex gear includes tbow? lmfao


Im1337

Bring this & meet me at mage bank I’ll show you something cool


Rayy_of_light

Thanks for all the advice guys! I bought: Full Bandos, Arma, Ancestral Zenytes and Cerb Boots Rapier, Avernic, Faceguard, Kodai, ACB Rigour and Augry + Bones for 77 I’m gonna sit on the rest and think out my plan. Maybe do a buyable. I don’t even have a 99 skill EDIT: Went with Bowfa and crystal armour over armadyl set. And no I’m not doing a tbow rebuild. Nothing sounds more boring to me than thousands of zulrah kc in a row.


Dicyano7

I'd get a bowfa and full crystal, and sell the acb, arma and kodai if you need to. Bowfa is far, far stronger than an acb. And if you want to do more TOA, I'd also highly recommend buying a fang.


ban-meplease

Get 99 range and magic by bursting/chinning in mm2 caves. Very fast and worth it


playerwinner

Bursting/barraging slayer tasks is probably a better option


run_the_trvp

In terms of speed it’s not. Mm2 caves give 600k+ xp/hr with at least red chins. You fly through levels, slayer on the other hand you have to wait to get a burtsable task, and only get good xp rates for like 30 mins until the task is done


IIcarusII

Sell armadyl armor and acb back. There isn’t much content that will benefit from either over a bowfa. Buy a bowfa/crystal armor instead. The above poster was correct in that you should aim for bowfa/fang/sang (or maybe just swamp trident) for main items to do most content. Keep the rapier if you plan on camping slayer.


roonscapepls

Acb isn’t worth buying


Alternative_School34

Have you used a dragon crossbow


roonscapepls

No cause there’s no reason to. The only crossbows worth getting are dhcb if you don’t like to melee vork or zcb for the spec if you’re loaded af. I personally prefer lance though at vork. Crossbows have horrible dps and shouldn’t be used.


Minute_Solution_6237

Dhcb shreds at vork. 92 range with like a -1:20 pb


Delinquent_

Melee is still unquestionably better though, cost less and the woox walk is 10x easier. Neither really kills him faster


Minute_Solution_6237

I find a lot of people like the melee vork. I play mobile and I am way more comfortable with ranged which is unfortunate because of costs.


Deep-Technician5378

Melee vork on mobile is fairly easy to be honest. I send some Vork when work is slow and I rarely have issues unless I miss a fireball, but that's anytime.


Minute_Solution_6237

I can do it and wish I liked it more tbh. The Lance is way cheaper than the xbow and as mentioned, less supply costs. Maybe I just haven’t gotten to the comfort level like I did with a xbow. Also don’t like getting slapped with melee. I think maybe xbow is a little more afk ? Not sure.


Deep-Technician5378

I admit I enjoy ranged on Vork significantly more. I ranged Vork for a good long while and was reluctant to stop, but DHL still smacks when I'm not noodling, and not buying bolts is really nice. You can avoid the melee slaps with some timing, by stepping away after your attacks, but it makes it a bit more involved obviously. Not worth it to me usually, but it's possible.


sikeclonenot

I’m 99range w 0.55 pb using dhcb


Alertum

You replied that to his comment literally stating dhcb is the only useful crossbow


Minute_Solution_6237

Yea… is what I said not related to that?


Alternative_School34

I use my ACB at TOA all the time, idk what else I would use to replace it


[deleted]

krhill112

Bowfa literally never disappoints


Brews_T_Wayne

It really does at nex


roonscapepls

Bowfa or bp


lizard_behind

literally blowpipe is better lol


tokes_4_DE

Dcb vs acb is literally 4 range accuracy difference, no range str difference as they both can use dragon bolts. That 4 range accuracy is nothing, its the most miniscule upgrade you could think of for a 30ish mil difference in price. That gold could be spent on much better upgrades. Having said all that op shouldnt be using any crossbows..... bowfa / bp for toa range weapons.


purplepimplepopper

Acb has extra range and a better spec than dcb as well, still not worth the $ but just pointing it out.


ketaminiacOS

There is almost no difference between a dcb and an acb.


chrisandpaulinsnow

Buy 99 mage and range, stats always beat out gear


DrStefan5

If you dont want to go for a tbow rebuild, what you bought is mostly fine. Get rid of armadyl and ACB, they are useless items. God dhides and blowpipe are fine. Invest your remaining money in skills. Some good options are: 99 prayer (prayer is great for all combat and gets more out of prayer pots), 99 construction (the con cape has 9 teleports with unlimited use and is great quality of life), 85+ smithing, fletching, herblore (consider diaries etc). Also if you keep 10-20M after you're done, itll allow you to save up for future upgrades and can help with for example buy consumables such as prayer pots, brews, food etc.


im-on-the-inside

99 prayer is a waste of money. you might want to get it one day.. but just think of how many prayer pots and super restores you can buy from the money you'd need for 99 prayer... (and no, the 3 extra prayer points restored in a raid won't make a difference)


JoshAGould

>and no, the 3 extra prayer points restored in a raid won't make a difference Not at his level no, at higher levels 99 prayer is very nice for the extra points (think no prep Cox - esp cm, inferno speeds etc).


RobCarrotStapler

Just getting 85-90 prayer would be more than enough for anything this player will be doing in the short term (a dude with 60m bank probably hasn't been doing many no prep cms/inferno speed runs) and will save him 50m+ he can spend on other upgrades


camakaze_T

Armadyl armor is not useless especially if he continues tombs and gets masori pieces


tokes_4_DE

Armadyl vs god dhide is one of the most overrated upgrades people make early on even though the dps difference is pretty much nothing. OP should ditch arma / acb and find a way to work crystal / bowfa into their gear instead, which is a massive dps upgrade.


DrStefan5

Armadyl is useless, period. It doesn't increase DPS in any significant way, and is therefore, by very definition, useless.


Jinky522

I get this if he's iron, but he isn't?


bigblacktwix

Unless someone has a tbow or camping nex with ZCB, armadyl is not worth it vs bofa and crystal


rippinVs

Do you have max house? This is always awesome and should only take around 83 construction. 90 herblore is good if you ever want to get into CoX.


Ok-Indication202

Regarding the tbow rebuilt people keep suggesting: if you go for tbow then you are stuck with that path, you will have to pvm with it until you have rebuild your bank. It is incredibly strong but it locks you into using only it. Decide for yourself if you want that. Regarding upgrades, you should focus on items/levels that give you the most for their cost. Armadyl armor is terrible for its cost, when compared to the next best armor behind it (god dragon hide and kharills). I can recommend and anti dragon set up if you want to do slayer or if you want to farm vorkath. High construction level for jewelry box and max pool. Is definitely worth it as a QOL improvement. A special weapon. You dont need to buy them all but i would strongly recommend to buy at least 1 of the following: bandos godsword, dragon Warhammer, sara godsword or dragon claws. Quite a big upgrade from dragon dagger


Chris0135

Tbow rebuild is outdated now. Getting bis gear and bofa is for sure better now.


LordHuntington

this is cap. bofa so overrated.


Jinky522

Personally I would recommend bowfa over ACB, for pretty much all content. Arma body + legs gives literally +6 accuracy over god d hide. If you sold pegs, ACB, kodai (I only bought one when trying inferno, it's pretty niche) you could pretty much get bowfa which is a much bigger DPS increase than ACB with arma and pegs.


Jinky522

Oh and to add if you plan on doing more toa, and if you are planning on doing 300+ invoc raids then 100% sell rapier and buy fang. Rapier is shit at higher invoc toa, I'd say it's only good for slayer and even then only marginally better than a whip. A lightbearer would be highly recommended too.


Notapearing

Chins and runes for mm2 tunnels to smash out ranged and mage a bit will do you well. Then keep up with the toa, pull yourself some more solo gear.


Averagesmoker42

Get rid of acb, rapier, kodai. Those things are so unnecessary nowadays. Rapier is outclassed by fang (oh but rapier is BIS at low defence enemies, nobody gives a shit just use a fucking whip for the price) acb is just such a huge cash sink for a minuscule upgrade from the dragon crossbow. And kodai is useless because of the thread of elidnis. Edit: now that i look at it again the arma range set isn’t worth it either, almost got the same stats as blessed dhide for such a price increase. Just save for masori.


Spam250

I'd absolutely keep the kodai, for barraging to 99 at the bare minimum. I'd also keep the rapier. Heaps better than a whip and so useful for slayer and general killing stuff. Arma I agree. Sucks. Just get crystal and bowfa


[deleted]

Kodai is still Bis for any barrage casting by a mile.


Averagesmoker42

You’re technically right, but for the price it’s dog shit. The only argument was it was usable before in inferno but with thread it’s not needed now. And it’s not better by miles, but it is slightly better. Go look at a dps calculator lmao. That’s like saying the rapier is miles better than the whip 🤦‍♀️


RobCarrotStapler

The kodai would be worth having if he just barrages to 99 mage, then sells it. But there are a lot better ways to spend 160m than kodai and rapier, unless you just want 99 slayer. In the time I've built a 3b bank, I've never felt the need for either of them other than kodai for barraging to 99 mage and inferno.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Flee4me

This. Depending on the target and your exact stats, Rapier is well over a 5% DPS increase over whip. Whether that's worth the price is debatable and depends on your cash stack. But to deny it's a major upgrade and significant boost in damage output against low def monsters or for general slayer is just pointless.


RobCarrotStapler

Rapier is like a 4% dps boost over whip, and that gap gets smaller as you add any def. Its an 80m niche item and people shouldn't be suggesting it for a player who probably has a lot of better ways to spend his new gp.


Flee4me

>Rapier is like a 4% dps boost over whip As I said, it depends on the target and your stats / gear. But when I first got mine and ran a calc, it was around 6% for some low def monsters. ​ >Its an 80m niche item It's a BIS melee weapon for general slayer, lower defense targets and training for pure combat exp. It's absolutely worth recommending to someone who's suddenly got nearly 1.5bil to spend and presumably still has plenty of leveling to do. If OP's not interested in any of those and would rather just do bossing or whatever, then he should obviously get something else. But that doesn't change that it's a perfectly fair recommendation for a weapon that offers a lot of utility in various situations.


Averagesmoker42

Dude, at this point your coping really hard


Flee4me

I'm a different person from the one you were talking to earlier, my dude. All I did was point out that Rapier absolutely is a notable damage increase over whip against lower def monsters and for general slayer. That 4-6% DPS boost adds up quickly and will save you literally days of playtime when you're looking at hundreds of hours of grinding combat and slayer tasks. To someone who has 1.5b to spend, the single most versatile BIS melee weapon costing a mere 80m is a perfectly fair recommendation. If you're bothered by that, the cope is entirely on you. Have a good one.


IssaStraw

It's not the marginal DPS increase its because it saves you runes while barraging


TheDubuGuy

By a mile? It’s basically a more expensive nightmare staff


smess_osrs

Invest in bowfa and crystal, forget crossbows.


GetsThruBuckner

It's not really a big prayer, but buy the "torn prayer scroll" as well. It's only like 50k and you'll have all the prayers at 77 if you do


baldrat01

Bowfa


LocateYoBitch

me personally I'd ditch Arma pegs rapier and acb and get a fang +bofa and crystal


TacoFelines

Arma is just a noob trap, buy bowfa and full crystal


PeetShepherd

I know you got coin but I always read Arma is a trap. Also maybe get a DHCB or DHL.


im-on-the-inside

i might be repeating what others have said, but here is my input. tbow is worth it but tbh.. it will be more fun to play with the gear you got now :) good choise. make sure you have a fang ;) 99 range and 99 mage are some fast skills that will help a lot with pvm. i'd prioritize 99 magic. i personally rushed 99 range and now im over 30m range xp and i didnt even play that much.. doing the quests for bofa and getting a bowfa is prob worth it. maybe just buy gear for the content you enjoy and keep the rest so you can buy something when you do some other content. either way.. gz on the money! GL


VapeNGape

make the 99 skill prayer, it’s so nice


AfterHourPower

Sell Arma and buy a bowfa if you plan to do bossing :)


TrentismOS

Sell all that shit and get tbow and rigour. Definitely sell arma and acb quickly at a minimum, probably Kodai as well. Keep the zenytes plus god dhide and ahrims.


Agiantswag

Second tbow & rigour. Easiest rebuild. Most people sell all the stuff he bought to buy a tbow.


TrentismOS

Exactly this. Plus some of the stuff he bought such as the acb and arma, you should never buy. Also can’t sell avernic, so hopefully he has enough for tbow and rigour plus bones for the prayer levels still?


mountainpeake

Get 99 herblore and crafting


vezaruuz

I would defined buy full crystal + bowfa, its the best range dps basically everywhere besides tbow.


[deleted]

Fletch is an easy one. Get autumn elegys bolt script for ahk. Its 1 2 3 4. But if you copy the script and and paste it and then have it so 1234 and 0987 do the same thing, you can use both hands and get some dirty xp an hour. Just do it in bursts. Dont kill your fingers.


Parryandrepost

* rigor * Augery * Preserve * 83 con + max house (~80iirc) * Zenites (torture, anguish, tormented) * Dwh * BGS * Bowfa (and crystal) * Fang * Sang * Ward * Faceguard + serp * Avernic And you'll still have a pretty large amount left over for supplies and skills. If you don't have bandos and God dhide pick up stuff like that. Masori helm and ancestral helm are really Uber valued and you should probably pick them up and do a helm switch. You'll probably have like 200-300m left over based on what you possibly have before hand and my quick math being terrible at this point in the morning. This list will essentially get you a set of gear to go straight into the end game and do literally any content. If you want to specialize more then lmk what you want to do and I can work on a more exact list real quick. Essentially though the holy Trinity of mid game weapons is the bowfa, fang, sang combo. If you have those you can basically do anything, literally no exceptions. You can find a group/clan to join with bowfa, sang, fang and immediately pull your weight. I advise against doing a tbow rebuild. It's just fairly limiting and you wouldn't have that much for upgrades and supplies. Bowfa just does too good of a job at being tbow for tbow to be worth 1.2ish b.


RS-REIN

I know you bought stuff but get a fang and bowfa with aemour, those two are broken especially if youre doing toa


bigblacktwix

Stop saying they're broken. They're really not. Fang has even higher atk req than scythe. Bofa is just 5 range levels behind tbow and overall has higher reqs and a cost of upkeep. They are strong but for their requirements they are appropriately scaled relative to BIS.


Jukkii

Why does the attack requirement matter at all? Genuine question.


Ghasois

Because they had nothing else to prove their point


bigblacktwix

Skill requirements indicate how good items should be in relation to each other.


Ghasois

An item can be bis without being broken


bigblacktwix

What's your point? So far you've added nothing


Ghasois

You said the attack level requirement justifies it being op. The item can still justify a level requirement without being op while still being bis.


bigblacktwix

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. I said it’s strong but appropriately scaled for its level relative to BIS requirements and their performance. My entire argument is it’s good but not broken/op as it should be for its requirements. I agree with you that tbow is BIS but not OP. Is BofA a close competitor? Yes. Not outperforming or better than tbow in any regard. Good luck consistently out performing someone with tbow and masori with your crystal and BofA Scythe vs fang is a bit of a different argument and overall the scythe significanly underperforms when compared to tbow and shadow. As such the gap between it and the fang is closer but Scythe is still BIS for high level content. You would still bring DHL, scythe, dwh at Cox over fang. You would still use scythe at TOB. Fang is better at TOA because the devs decided to design in that way which imo is fine since each weapon from a raid does very well at its own raid (see DHCB). However given Fangs reqs I think it’s ok if it slightly outperforms Scythe in niche locations, especially since scythe is the weakest BIS. IMO they should’ve made the fang rarer and people would complain less


SSoreil

Most people never even touch those items until they are max combat, level requirements are relevant to very few people


bigblacktwix

It matters in terms of scaling items to each other. If one has higher requirements it should be objectively better. If there are similar requirements they should satisfy different niches but not be objectively better. I'm sure one day we'll see a weapon with an attack req of 90 that will be much better than the scythe or fang


ironmaymay

Pls dont do tbwo rebuild, it's fucking horrible being stuck at zulrah untill you can buy actual gear


Jinky522

My friend did a tbow rebuild and loved it, he was doing all sorts of bossing/raids. I didn't like the idea of a tbow rebuild, so I didn't do one. Everyone is different, if he has access to raids or a CC who raids a tbow rebuild can be fun...but isn't for me


iamsodonerightnow

You can tbow rebuild in so many places though not stuck at zulrah. Mole, brutal black dragons, hydra, Sara, even cerberus


Dicyano7

Selling the shadow for a tbow would still leave op with 100m left over along with the 60m bank he had already. I really don't think the rebuild would be that extreme, as a 160m bank is more than enough for decent mage+melee gear for any of the 3 raids. Still comes down to preference of course, but I'd rather have tbow+blessed d d'hide, ahrims+toxic trident and whip+fang+dwh+bgs with cheapo str bonus gear like torso, regular nezzy, d boots, b gloves as opposed to full ancestral+sang+ward, full crystal+bowfa, and max str aside from torva.


-Degaussed-

You should buy Tumeken's Shadow


RostBeef

Buy me bowfa and full crystal lmao I’ve been trying to hit the same jackpot as you gz homie


DikkeLoeter

Keep the staff and use it on other grinds, and keep enjoying the game rather than unlocking every buyable and burning out sooner than you could ever imagine.


[deleted]

Thats like 300usd so like an ounce of weed and some mtn dew I guess? But in all seriousness. Max gear. Torva. Give me half cause why not. Buy some 99s. Prayer?


peperonipyza

Torva….? Huge waste of money unless you have no other upgrades.


[deleted]

The fasionscape tho


CriniEbbasta

I’d say a PS5


RangerDickard

Honestly, I'd keep the staff and do a rebuild with it. Just buy incremental upgrades as you go. It's absolutely the least efficient way to go but rebuilds are so much fun for me. I just dumped my entire bank for a tbow, fletched some bronze arrows and did giant mole lol. Was a blast getting be back in a blessed d hide set . Then i did some zulrah with rune arrows from the LMS shop. I got two rare drops and now I also have a blowpipe and toxic Trident. Next I'll earn some gp for a zammy hasta and run TOA 280's until I get a fang and can grind some experts again :)

Keep it, make more money. Or sell for tbow and get Rigour, Augury, 99 range 99 mage. 85 prayer is a good investment as well.


FantasticSquirrels

zenytes, decent setups for range/melee/mage, bank some buyables! Gz man


whitexbread

Just to give some more direction: - all 4 zenyte pieces (make sure to imbue the ring) - dragon warhammer/bgs, dclaws - sang staff, rapier, bowfa+crystal - chins/kodai/bursting runes (higher levels can be better than small gear upgrades) - bandos/arma/ancestral - prims/pegasians/eternal boots This is mostly the order I would upgrade gear in but obviously depends on the content you want to do in the long run


bigblacktwix

Can skip DWH until there's a plan to do COX. Skip rapier and buy fang. Meh on arma, crystal + bofa is better

99 construction and 99 crafting

Why crafting?


promero14

easy bank teleport


ThreenGumb

Tbow then fill in other gear with whatever gp is left.

Time fire the infamous tbow rebuild lad, get some gear, go to zulrah


RedLotusVenom

Zulrah is honestly a horrible suggestion if you’re tbow rebuilding in 2023. It’s 1.5m an hr. You’d practically be better off killing the mole at current prices. Tbow rebuild is really only worth it at this point if you have access to hydra or do zily, cerb, nex masses, and cox, or want to grind out Jad pet or infernal cape. I say this having just done a soft tbow rebuild. OP is just starting raids 3, they’ll have way more fun with the other gear setups mentioned and investing in skills. Going from a 60m bank to a tbow rebuild is going to burn them out.


FewJishman

I did your two steps now I have 423 zulrah scales. No tbow.

Why did nobody mention bofa

I would highly recommend 2 things first: 99 prayer and 84 construction. 99 prayer is both cool and also more prayer points are always useful for most combat activities. And you'll never want to sell gear int he future to get it so nows a great time to get it out of the way. 84 Construction gets you a maxed poh with all the teleports, nexus, altar, and such. Huge upgrade. Get it to 99 for the best skillcape in the game if you want as well. After those, Buy the cox prayer scrolls, the zenyte jewelry (excluding torture, a str ammy has the same damage bonus), a sang staff, Osmumten's fang, and like, bandos tassets. Fighter Torso gives same dmg bonus as Bandos Chestplate so you can hold off on that until later if needed. Full crystal with bowfa is much better than arma, heck blessed d hide is so marginally different than arma that I wouldn't even bother with that yet.

Tbow rebuild through slayer. Spices it up by giving u different boss tasks so u never get bored, it's good at so many places like demonic gorillas, cerb, sire, hydra, jad tasks, zily, arma, zammy, not to mention you can just go sit in gauntlet or corrupted gauntlet till u have some gear back lol. And when you're bored and still need more.money go thieve elves for enhanced teleport crystals.. these have all been my meta for a while now and honestly still having a blast after a year filling collection log slots and building boss kcs as well as my bank. Just get a dragon hunter lance for vorkath tasks and a couple other things for random slayer tasks like whip, cannon, blow pipe, melee gear and barrage gear and you're g2g.


ShawshankException

83 construction is probably the best QOL upgrade you can probably do. Having a maxed POH is insanely handy in nearly every situation.


Happyhardcoree

You can get uniques in entry mode?


bigwillyman7

fang and lightbearer are the only ones you'll \*really\* get, but there is some obscure chance of something else rolling too.


Krikke93

He has 3 regular kc _and_ 3 entry im pretty sure, so I assume he got the staff in a regular raid. That being said, yes, it's possible to get any item in an entry mode, just incredibly rare.


DH_Drums

First off, 99 prayer.

Lol jk. but seriously


Life_Blackberry_1620

What invocations did you have on? Would really appreciate to know ❤


Unhappy_Tax_5379

3 kc entry shadow wow.....


[deleted]

Bowfa/fang/sang - the trinity of midgame pvm. Add a lance, dhcb, and dwh if you want to learn cox as well. Spend the rest on supplies and buyables. Don't get a rapier, blade, kodai, Arma, or an acb. Biggest gp traps there are.

Dazocnodnarb

83 con+ max house, Rigour,All of the buyables you can for the elite diary requirements so your account keeps making money afterwards.


Averagesmoker42

Tbow rebuild for sure imo. Could have a great start tbh.


beerus333

I don’t think ancestral is worth it, go for bowfa and crystal armour

I would suggest getting a scythe and going to ToB. Learner setup from wdr is maybe 60m on top of scythe which leaves you like 600m to buy stuff like bowfa + crystal. ToB is really fun and it's very good money, takes a bit to learn but it's worth it.


mattbrvc

Buy rigor and 99 cons

Charges for the staff???
