In spirit of the old 2007scape question threads on reddit, I thought to start making threads in the same fashion, MK II.

Post your questions, thoughts on Sailing, goals, achievements and so on!

I'll start, I'm currently taking a break as I had a drunken fall last week and am in hospital for a while with a fractured shinbone; fractured wrist; pulled tendons in my other knee and a smashed laptop; so no walking or RS for a while!

Eagerly awaiting to get back to ToB and finishing off the maxing grind (Only 94 slayer left!). I'm also contemplating getting a steam deck for RuneLite -- does anyone use it? How does it compare to mobile?

Also personally hyped for Varlamore!!

Cheers :-)

I'm a regular ironman that just got 1500TL the other day... and I feel so frustrated with the wiki. Looking up strategies that they describe as "low level/beginner" for things like Dag Prime, and the gear it recommends is full specific Barrows and other things that would themselves need gear setups to get.

I think I might just go and get my ass kicked a bunch and try to keep from that feeling of "man I really should be using this gear..."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, the wiki is really for mains that can just buy whatever gear they need. As a ironman, you really just have to use the best gear you've got and go with that. In the beginning of everything you're gonna get really short trips, but that is the ironman life. Just know that whatever "minimum gear" they got recommended, you can properly do it with worse gear.

For specifics like dag prime, you should just safe spot it with a ibans staff. It's easy enough, the worst part is getting to the safe spot. You can pm me if you want any help

I'll just need to get less scared of dying-- it's never actually happened on my current account, but I'm not hcim so it doesn't really matter. Thank you for the offer of help!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Haha I can understand not wanting to die. But you can always just buy back your items from death. Its really cheap, so I always do it

Wouldn't worry too much about that, in general stats and weapons are way more important than gear. You could probably manage DKS with ancients, a magic shortbow and a dragon scim. Blood spells are super handy too!

Just out of curiosity, do you mean Dagannoth Rex? The Zerker ring is a really solid upgrade, the other two are tiny DPS upgrades -- being in the endgame the only place I use Seers ring is for Theatre of Blood if I'm freezing (pure btw), I haven't used the Archer ring in yonks, lightbearer or suffering are usually way better for ranging.

I was setting my sights on Prime because of the dragon axe (unless I goofed and it's one of the others). Priority #1 is probably just unlocking ancients and grinding fletching to get magic short, haha 🙃
