Hey, this is finally the series that got me into watching more of your content. You obviously have all the stats for the videos and such, but I imagine many others enjoyed them aswell. Started enjoying your other content as well, as I previously imagined it was too ''tryhard'' for someone as casual as me. Keep up the great content:)
this is top tier pvm content, the crusty switches with rainbow vomit inventory tags are chefs kiss. Shame I only found out about this series as it was seemingly ending for now.
i don't think these are getting stale tbh! they're very entertaining and it's a novelty to see rarely used gear in general. if it's getting boring to you tho then fair enough, would love to see more otherwise
This video is a toa relic. Toa will never be this hard again lol. Will be interesting to look back on this video in the coming years when more changes arrive
@gnomemonkey As a noob can I ask what would you improve on your setup next I'm still new to toa and barely get 165 done with the same setup Yes I'm a noob I'm mostly struggling with ahka and warden Can someone maybe help me with video suggestion or gear Thank you
@@GnomonkeyRS thank you very much will look into the vids but I don't think I'm capable of doing anywhere near 500 already going hard on 165 maybe if I understand warden and ahka better
ToA Advanced Tactics has a lot of indepth info that should help. It takes a lot of practice, don't be afraid to go into a 0 invo and just practice butterflying Ahkka or Insanity only Warden etc
Check out the rankings for Blade of Saeldor and Blade of Saeldor (c) on the wiki. If you look at use where they rank them they use them interchangeably as if using the non-corrupted version is better than the corrupted. Wiki should fix this. But Gnomonkey shedding a better light on that they should rank setups as in best setup 1, best setup 2, etc instead of best and their downgrades.
I would love to see a gear guide where its a breakdown of the best setup/inventory at different gp quantities and the best upgrades as you gain gp for each setup. I find myself finding little inefficiencies in my setups when i watch you and ive tried figuring it out through gearscape and it gets really complex for a raid like this very quickly.
@@GnomonkeyRS one more question about gearscape. If I'm running a calc for spec weapons, does it take spec energy into account? Or is it just the damage per spec? Right now I'm comparing burning claws to dragon claws at amoxilitl because I'm going for the 30 second combat achievement and it says d claws would be more dps, but it seems wrong to me. I can spec 3 times per attempt with burning claws but only twice with d-claws.
Suggestion, after letting a few weeks pass, do the occasional wiki guide video for new content Like with the Hueycoatl comes out That way it never gets stale and it’s still a fun little series
Don't frown because it's over. Smile because it happened. Wiki guides are both humbling for any skill level that content is achievable much as we dunk cheap or bad gear. You don't need full Torva or Bandos as a low lv im or PvM/raids noob, it can be fun
heyyo gnome, little known fact here. but 1ting piety doesn't save any prayer points if you're camping another prayer. either lazy flick it or leave it on. saw u doin this several times and wasnt sure if u were aware
@@GnomonkeyRS nah man. record yourself 1ting piety with a protection prayer on, and then compare it to a video with leaving both prayers on. this goes with any prayers btw. leave a slow draining prayer like prot item on while 1ting piety and watch how fast it drains.
@@GnomonkeyRS nvm, guess thats what i get for listening to the video instead of watching. but it is true that if u 1t a prayer while camping another it'll drain for the full amount.
Is zebak 0 damage if you do everything correctly? More specifically on the attacks where you get hit with a blood barrage and a range hit together? A friend of mine swears you can pray against both 100% of the time . Am I just doing it wrong?
A level 2 or 3 zebak can be perfectly prayed against, lower or higher level has the blood barrage align with the ranged hits during enrage 50% of the time and are unflickable
are we sure about mixed hide being better than karils on nex? definitely better damage but youre losing a lot of mage defense. Eclipse top & bottom seem better & generally better depending on strength bonus breakpoints
28:50 this whole topic is ironic from the very start (it isnt actually a BUG!) i know most of the viewers here wont appreciate a pking ramble but hey-ho... without the background nobody would be able to present a decent fix for this issue they have purposefully done this because lets say you were pking with the 3 tick hunters sunlight crossbow you can just wait for an xp drop and then ballista or dbow or rcbow 1way and because 3tick is so quick (and because the person sending the crossbow attack gets an xp drop to notify them even earlier to switch to a spec weapon) they have essentially removed the element of fair pking and made it into a latency vs latency situation the irony comes from the fact that if they didnt make such a stupid 3 tick weapon that hit 35's in the first place they wouldnt of had to implement this stupid feature to stop people 1waying in pvp its same scenario as the atlatl special effect and the bloodmoon armour, making attacks hit 1 tick sooner than they should was deemed "cool" when it was presented to people but all its caused is a ruining of the combat system where people with higher latency are further punished... which is again ironic considering the devs actually expect people to PK or learn to PK on and off world rota's.. (and fyi i play on 15ms so im not complaining out of spite im complaining so that it gets fixed for those sorry souls who dont have 15ms) so long story short its like "oh go play and pk on 200ms" "oh but gl surviving against attacks that hit you faster than your internet connection can process the eat" but it wont get fixed until some popular streams HCIM dies to it and outrage happens and if they "fix" this like you and i would both hope you are going to get innocent pvmers who get barraged, then hunters crossbowed, and before the hunters xbow hitsplat has even appeared theres already a darkbow spec heading towards you
oh and lastly i would like to add the reason the only other 3tick crossbow with similar attributes to the HSC is the bone crossbow... they made that thing hit 10's and 12's for a reason, then the new devs come in with less comprehension of the overall game and make a crossbow that hits 3x that.. unreal.
The abby dagger is so bad, before i had a fang i was using hasta as when toa came out i didnt even have 82 attack 😅 Got a day one fang in entry we sold for 360m 😂
At this point I think the wiki should hire you to replace all of the recommended gear downgrades or they just need to implement gearscape into the wiki
The problem isn't that the downgrades are wrong as in there being better options to downgrade, it's that they go 4 downgrades deep in slots where you realistically should never be using worse than 2nd bis
@@dclikemtndew The issue IMO is that a lot of the setups use the downgrade chart to demonstrate that certain gear is worse than other options, instead of writing a footnote. Like instead of just writing "slash bonus > strength bonus > defence", the Vardorvis setup shows the elysian as the minimum recommendation to get across that it's a really bad option, but all that does is communicate that it's a reasonable downgrade because why else would it be on the chart?
@@astrosurfer I think they include so many downgrades in an effort to be as exhaustive as possible, but i agree they should cut things down to just the downgrades that are reasonable and leave out reccomending stuff like the power ammy for dt2 bosses lol
Mannn. Sad to see it end. Really was one of the best series around. :(
Agreed
only 8 hours of total attempts?
Plz don’t end the series :’(
Doesn't have to be a regular series. Just something whenever he feels like it would be fun.

Love the series, sad to see it end but thank you!
great music choices and awesome series
Bringing the Pharao's sceptre in to the raid is definitely a skill issue
Remember when you clicked the sceptre in ahka LMFAO
the 3rd death had me fucking reeling!!! BAHAHAHA!!!
Loved this series && i hope you return to it in the future 😀
Thanks so much for the series - I enjoyed every one of these ^_^
Nah you’re going to continue the series and you’re going to like it!
You Sir, are a true savage! Keep representing my G! Bless bless.
This video is a toa relic. Toa will never be this hard again lol. Will be interesting to look back on this video in the coming years when more changes arrive
The paper Mario music you were prob crazy at paper Mario to 😂
Can someone please explain how waves caught him at 3:40 ? I honestly don't get this, and I've had it happen in my own raids.
It's a bug known as a dragging hit box. :) it's wonderful
What’s the song playing at wardens 18:45 and is it in a Mario kart game?? Driving me crazy. Feels like it’s coconut mall from Mario Kart on Wii
Kirby 64 - Pop Star Theme
Been waiting for this one
Must say that was very entertaining, you were gaming hard on p3 warden fun to watch

This series was so good man
i had to turn closed captions on because i couldn't hear gnomonkey over the blasted paper mario music, 10/10
really wasnt getting stale, rip to a great series
Stale as in there weren't any more wikis to do not that they were boring
@@GnomonkeyRS we can make our own wiki, with even worse set ups for more content
you can guarantee a bone dagger spec on kephri on the animation of him waking up after the first down (second and third as well)

You'll have to calculate spec per energy and ticks vs main hand weapons etc. it's really difficult and tedious to calc
Good wiki guides will you bring them back when theres new bosses ? They may be “stale” but theyre fun and a good challenge! I enjoy them
the music went bananas this whole video.
Why do I keep having to fight the warden that uses melee and not the one you fight?
Probably tanking the wrong side of the obelisk
I did indeed use mixed hide for my first 500. Worst thing is defence in kephri's room but I just trapped ranger scarab.
Suggestion, after letting a few weeks pass, do the occasional wiki guide video for new content

Thats a good content. Would be cool to see cox but if its an end of this series, let it be 👌
I assume the downgrades are more just for when you have one slot that is lacking?
why did he use mark of darkness and greater corruption??
Tbf many deaths were not because of the gear 😂 great episode!
I don’t think the price of a blood fury was being counted at the end or did I miss it? Either way solid work you GAMER
I believe it counts the cost of fury and one shard
@@GnomonkeyRS does it include the cost of PT for that carpal tunnel?
No carpel tunnel aha. Just a small spell of Tendinitis. I live with a nurse, all is well
I was really hoping you'd do a CM.
did you play the new Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake?
I hated it...It was dumbed down and no text skip, and other huge issues.
The TTYD music is goated
Hey hedron, if u could link the vod's the vids are made from that would be amazing :)
She uses recordings, so that's not always possible.
@@GnomonkeyRS oh understandable, yea it can be Hard trying to figure out where stuff is from
are we sure about mixed hide being better than karils on nex? definitely better damage but youre losing a lot of mage defense. Eclipse top & bottom seem better & generally better depending on strength bonus breakpoints
Love hearing the paper mario soundtracks :D
3:41 I would have broken my keyboard because what the actual fuck is that lmao
Ngl I really want a season 2 on this series
using the dk64 music for akkha instead of monke room is a little criminal
2024 and the HLC can't differentiate between the Sun Keris and a Pharoah's Sceptre? How you've truly fallen.
Mixed hide is insane hybrid tech
whats the plugin for the p1 charge up ?
Archer ring switch had me pissin 😂
Im guessing mixed hide aint worth if using bowfa?
Blue moon seems like the best choice with bowfa
The paper Mario music got me
Please don’t end the series :(
rofllll!! do moles have a really good sense of smell? you'd think he would know! L0000L cracked me up
whats that plugin with npc hp numbers?
!hp in twitch chat has settings
Just imagine, out there is some little Timmy who is using this gear to do their 500s because of the wiki.
wow this no-monkey guy is pretty good, but he could learn a thing of two from the wikians
This is a really good gnome
the paper mario theme music tho POG
background music feels out of place imo. maybe its the volume idk
great series gz
It’s so beautiful..
bless the paper mario soundtrack
28:50
this whole topic is ironic from the very start (it isnt actually a BUG!)
i know most of the viewers here wont appreciate a pking ramble but hey-ho... without the background nobody would be able to present a decent fix for this issue
they have purposefully done this because lets say you were pking with the 3 tick hunters sunlight crossbow you can just wait for an xp drop and then ballista or dbow or rcbow 1way
and because 3tick is so quick (and because the person sending the crossbow attack gets an xp drop to notify them even earlier to switch to a spec weapon) they have essentially removed the element of fair pking and made it into a latency vs latency situation
the irony comes from the fact that if they didnt make such a stupid 3 tick weapon that hit 35's in the first place they wouldnt of had to implement this stupid feature to stop people 1waying in pvp
its same scenario as the atlatl special effect and the bloodmoon armour, making attacks hit 1 tick sooner than they should was deemed "cool" when it was presented to people but all its caused is a ruining of the combat system where people with higher latency are further punished... which is again ironic considering the devs actually expect people to PK or learn to PK on and off world rota's..
(and fyi i play on 15ms so im not complaining out of spite im complaining so that it gets fixed for those sorry souls who dont have 15ms)
so long story short its like "oh go play and pk on 200ms" "oh but gl surviving against attacks that hit you faster than your internet connection can process the eat"
but it wont get fixed until some popular streams HCIM dies to it and outrage happens
and if they "fix" this like you and i would both hope you are going to get innocent pvmers who get barraged, then hunters crossbowed, and before the hunters xbow hitsplat has even appeared theres already a darkbow spec heading towards you
oh and lastly i would like to add the reason the only other 3tick crossbow with similar attributes to the HSC is the bone crossbow... they made that thing hit 10's and 12's for a reason, then the new devs come in with less comprehension of the overall game and make a crossbow that hits 3x that.. unreal.
@@SHERMA. bone crossbow is actually 4t on rapid, which makes sunlight hunter's even more busted by comparison

not the worst possible downgrades, because you didn't use the bronze pickaxe for akkha puzzle
sadge
That's the tech right there
finished all 4 rooms the second time before you finished Kephri the first time xdd
i wanna see nex this series is brilliant
stale? ive watched every one bring it back later its funny as hell considering i used these wiki guides to wear gear
Stale as in the rest of the wikis are not really boring or they are pretty okay. Nothing outrageously bad about them to make videos on
@@GnomonkeyRS ah that makes sense 🫡, vorkie was funny thanks for showing us the gear builder from this series it helps loads!
