MTF 6-3-1

pooner -> forager -> compass -> god -> treasure -> note -> kingdom -> tossup between stand and guardian

I'm tempted to take dodgy and reloaded for forager, dodgy would be amazing with elves and vyres and thieving is gonna suck without it. also tempted by slayer master, also tempted by grimoire and also overgrown.

the main reason I've picked the ones I have is because I'm working full time so I'm trying to maximize afk potential, I'm not able to actually play while at work but I can poke it and reset it every now and then so catching kawambams for 6 hours is ideal, forager means I get herbs from it too, GG means I can alch at the same time and kingdom keeps ticking away while I'm at it too.

overgrown is also a consideration but I don't think farming will be bad with the QoL changes. also I kinda lied the main goal is that tob is the most fun raid in the game (by far) so I wanna send a bunch of tob with a 2t scythe. that sounds like a wonderful time, the afk gains are secondary.

Good deal ya so many choices it so hard. I'm def going dodgy but was tempted by forager until they revealed kingdoms, kinda hoping that solves my herblore problems & frees me up to take GG

Sounds fun man, enjoy!

FTM 4-6-0

I wanted to do varlamore but my friend group chickened out on echo sol. I did melee last year so I’m going with range this year.

[–] takenaps 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oo nice I'm still deciding between varlamore & morytania... is sol really that hard? I was inactive during that release. Never done raids or zuk & really just play solo. Hoping to take on Zuk & sol this leagues tho

[–] aimizo 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Echo sol is the only "grandmaster" echo boss.

[–] takenaps 1 points 3 days ago

Guess that says enough... tho I think might be nice to have a crazy hard challenge available to curb some of the power creep.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

My plan is

Areas: Varlamore> Morytania> Fremennik.

Relics: Animal Wrangler> Corner Cutter> Clue Compass> Reloaded either Power Miner or Dodgy Deals not sure yet > Treasure Arbiter> Bankers Note> Grimoire> Last Stand. I wish T4 and T5 were switched so I could use Reloaded to get Slayer Master

Combat mastery melee 6 and 4 magic, no matter how I look at it I'm going to be primarily melee, the range mastery look cool but I know I won't use it as much as melee.

I'm going to get full barrows gear then try to get the gloves of the damned for it before I go for dagganoth echo jewelry and finally try to beat the Colosseum echo.

Hell yeah that's sweet. Double clue relics looks awesome

[–] aimizo 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So no raids for you?

I’m going ranged. Z A F I think.

There are so many choices I might just run to adamant trophy on 3 accounts.

[–] takenaps 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Idk, I've never raided & play pretty casual these days, (mostly uim skiller account on mobile) but i am gonna go all out for leagues & play on my pc.

U think there's a raid could do solo w ranged?

Nice ya those are solid

[–] Graphy 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

TOA is super soloable and uses range a ton. You can also see your difficulty as easy as you’d like.

[–] takenaps 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Dang, yall are making me reconsider... Just not sure how much desert offers me for ranged outside of raids fun. Seems like w the t6 relic, toxic bp is the way to go. Tbow i guess? Hmm..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

If you're going desert you're already getting the drygore blowpipe from kalphite queen!

Also toa got masori armor which gives bonus ranged strength.

But of course if you're going for t6 ranged mastery and tank armor masori armor don't help much haha.

And you can ofc also get tbow from toa!

[–] aimizo 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Toa is easy to solo, but there will be tons of people willing to teach. You'll be so OP at t6 ranged most things will just melt.

[–] takenaps 1 points 3 days ago

Good point. Ya Im hoping w t6 & last stand i can just face tank everything lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My plans for now is fremennik, desert and tirannwn. Combat relics is 5 ranged and 5 melee.

Only relic Iam unsure about is tier 5.

I was thinking slayer relic, but I don't have morytania for Slayer helm.

[–] takenaps 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Nice, what made u decide on 5-5?

Was thinking the same regarding slayer.. might be nice to have especially if u don't have morytania, big boost to slayer exp without needing helm damage/utility.

Wouldn't one need both mory & kandarin for slayer helmet (i) anyways?

[–] aimizo 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No you can imbue the slayer helm at soul wars so only mory is needed.

[–] takenaps 2 points 3 days ago

Oooo good to know

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Was looking at the dps calc, and choosing tier 6 gets be from 40 to 43 dps. So the damage increase is super small. And going from tier 4 to 5 the dps is going from 20 to 40. So tier 5 is about a +-7% dps increase where as the t5 is 100% increase.

And I think I have decided on the clue arbiter now. There really isn't any relevant Slayer monsters in my regions. And slayer isn't really that slow when the dps is so high

[–] takenaps 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Great thoughts, thanks man.

Are you looking to get some things in particular from clues? Mid game gear? Or just fun from clues?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Honestly, it's mostly because the other 2 relics don't do enough for me.

Production master really only helps me with fletching, and that skill is already super fast.anf iam not going for 50m or even 99 in all the skills

And slayer is nice, but I think there's only basilisk Knights and daganoth kings in my regions, that I need anything from.

And my BIS boots is spiked manacles and ranger boots from clues.
