Dude, your guides are AMAZING every time!! I just came back to RS a few weeks ago and can’t believe I’m able to afk a boss (not good at PVM lol). Thank you soooo much for your content!!
Its worth it though and you can get the cape with any combat style since you need the stone only, Makeiru, another content creator made a guide 1-99/120 the day before necro was release and in that video he showed an image with the waves you can use necro as a secondary combat style in Kilns to get th first cape! Of course you at least have to have the firecape if you dont have it at the Fight Caves
@@chukss_ That just the fight cave, for the Zuk cape, which is the real boost, you have to kill Zuk flawless to get the stone. THAT is not so easy for just a regular player whom doesn't do bossing
@@svenq9313 i know thats what i said and adviced to watch a guide i personally think will be useful when he is at the point on getting the Kiln Cape which can be challenging for a returning player and watch a guide and an advice on how to get the Necro cape more efficiently, after that is the real challenge to get to the Zuk cape which can be easier if he have another combat style high enough to use that instead of necro that will be lower by logic and harder if he tries to get the zuk cape with necro
@@svenq9313you don't need flawless, just no death mate. You don't need to complete all challenge waves for the stone, you need those for hard mode unlock.
@@chukss_ might try with magic or ranged I sold some equipment before taking a break (no idea why I hate me for doing it) but I was thinking you got the stone completing the challenge and flawless was just to unlock hard mode
Non zuk cape here, but can confirm as of end of may 24 non zuk bar does works --trying for pet but the drops will help with the final perks im wanting before I go zuk must die mode as well as leveling my necro gears/weps. So thanks protoxx!!!
For anyone who has all the gear recommended in this video but still gets 1+ min kills without AFKing even, try summoning your zombie and skeleton before the boss actually spawns. You'll notice a HUGE improvement in kill time (at least i did). Edit: I just remembered that i didn't summon the putrid zombies at all before. So it seems like keeping the putrid zombie up is what fixed my issue since poison seems to proc significantly more with it up.
Try out the following bar instead: Vengeful ghost -> soul sap -> death skulls -> skeleton warrior -> touch of death -> volley of souls -> sacrifice -> finger of death -> bloat (doesn't get used - but there in case) -> tuska's wrath (doesn't get used). Disclaimer: I am using t95 gear for weapons and armour (and cinderbanes) and have the zuk cape. I went at it without a lot of things to boost dps though as I was not planning to long term. LOTD, no familiar, no incense, no aura, no darkness and even with no prayer and no overload I have come back still alive after a 10min logout. I considered the ghost kind of like a sunshine (both in terms of adren used and haunted dps boost) and so far it does seem that way and can save about 5-10 seconds per kill, but the biggest thing is afk survivability is totally there as well.
Personally I just camped hermod from 80+ until i had all my plates. Xp rate was around 250k/h, and i had them all by the time i had the t90 task. That way I was ready to do rituals/afk combat.
The interesting thing to me is Im getting 4.5 minute kills with the no zuk cape bar and the scythe is always on cooldown when the minions spawn. I get 3 kills before i gotta tele out. Did I mention I cant boss? 120 Nec btw. levels dont help.
Was there an update where the armoured phantoms spawn at certain HP. I can't get a kill without at least 3 spawns but I feel like my damage output is decent. Am I doing something wrong?
Not sure why this isn't working for me, I have all the required setup other than Conservation of Energy, is that why? I have tier 70 power at the moment, but that should be fine.
I’m using the no zuk cape action bar and my Spectral Scythe always seems to activate right at 50 seconds but you’re doing it around 54 seconds. Is it because I’m not using Conservation of Energy?
Not sure why there's so many comments here saying it doesn't work, I'm rocking T80 power gear, T90 weapons, jas book un-activated and its working just fine. Perks on my gear: Top: Relentless 5, Crackling 4, Biting 4 Bottom: Devoted 4, Impatient 4 MH/OH - Precise 6 Equilibrium 4 I'm not using a blood reaver or any familiar at all either and I'm sustaining health with Enhanced Excalibur, using penance and Elven RItual Shard to maintain prayer. Using salves and weapon poison. I don't have COE and i'm using persistent rage and berserkers fury, 3rd slot is a skilling one for me. Minions rarely spawn and my kill times are like 46-55 seconds long?
im tier 70 noob and i wanna semi-afk.... how come for lover tier u dont use ultimate ability first ? our adrenaline bar is full before boss spawns, why not use all adrenaline ?
Just test this with t90 tank armour + bis perks. Didn't do enough damage. Skeletons will spawn most of the time so can't afk. They will kill me as I keep agro to Hermod.
How is that happening? What tier of weapon are you using? I was able to do it using t80 weapons Edit: You must've missed an important detail in this guide
@@ProtoxxGaming Im using t90 weapons. Everything is same expect wen book. I did try with Jas and Ful but still dont do enough damage. 101 necro and using elder overload salves. E: Oh, I have different relics. Berserker fury, conservation of energy and front life. Going to test again with your relic. E2: Didnt really change anything. Got 2 first kills without minions but next 2 they spawn. I upload video on my kills to my youtube channel.
@Kappanaama Yeah I'm not experiencing afk kills using this guide. My own rev bar is better performing than this. I am missing one relic but acting like you need 120 arch for a boss is laughable.
@@alexissandoval1284 CoE is just very good for death skulls. You don't need it to kill the boss, you dont even need it to afk the boss. It does, however, make it a lot smoother.
I just looked at your video and you don't have the undead slayer perk on your augmented gear. That +7% damage might come in handy. Seeing as you fail with 10-20k lp left, that +7% just might make the difference.
Hey man nice guide - just wondering if you're making this guide more oriented towards newer players? Are you aware that the infernal puzzle box gives you persistent rage everywhere once you get it upgraded? I see you recommending the relic a lot so I'm starting to think you might not know! If you do, then no worries, just thought I'd mention it :)
Having a massive problem with the guide as it doesn't work, did work 1 kill in a whole hour. BUT using LOTD instead of reaver ring which is over 100m, a normal kiln cape, Jas book. Also looked at your background ultra close and you are at 100% accuracy somehow? Guessing you are very high Necromancy or something because I'm level 81 with a 76% hit chance. Rocking biting 3, invigorate 4 plus undead, precise 6, equilibrium 4, crackling 4. No aftershock.
I just want to preface this by saying I love your guides, Protoxx, but surely this has been nerfed? I'm getting nothing like what you're getting here, with the same setup. My prayer points aren't sustaining, and I'm not killing the skeletons quick enough due to how they spawn. Not AFK for me unfortunately, as well as for a large number of commenters here.
It hasn't been nerfed. Perhaps you're missing something or doing something wrong? Have you checked your revolution settings? are all abilities turned on?
Ten of millions? from what? Like 2-3m from ovl+reaver+kwuarm sticks+penance powder. I dont think lanta sticks are worth using without aggro pots. That's 300k down the drain to save 2 ovl doses and a weapon poison dose.
It works for some, but is also not in my taste as i play actively 90% of the time. But whenever I have to do work remotely, it's nice to have some AFK method running on my Mobile Phone.
1. There were rough guides on discord days after release. Mionee's from PvMe was the first I've seen on the 9th of august. 2. People can reach similar conclusions, doesn't need to be plagiarism.
There's a conjure army ability now that lets you summon all conjures at once btw.
Perfect timing, need another nine plates to finish the T90 set, and hadn't noticed he wasn't immune to poison! :)
Dude, your guides are AMAZING every time!! I just came back to RS a few weeks ago and can’t believe I’m able to afk a boss (not good at PVM lol). Thank you soooo much for your content!!

I have noticed no mention of the Adrenaline Urn or the Infernal Puzzle Box that works with Persistent Rage.
puzzle box keeps adrenline from depleting persistent rage restores adrenline while out of combat
what is that white-black diamond thing in your inventory?
Let’s go! Finally a afk rev bar with! Thank you very much 😁

Spawns minions every 45s or so, no hp "phase".
Baking great content faster than I cook food. Keep up the work!
Not sure why this isn't working for me, I have all the required setup other than Conservation of Energy, is that why? I have tier 70 power at the moment, but that should be fine.
What’s that gem looking thing next to the spring cleaner?
Ancient elven ritual shard - click to restore 37% of your total prayer points over 30 seconds. Real useful
I’m using the no zuk cape action bar and my Spectral Scythe always seems to activate right at 50 seconds but you’re doing it around 54 seconds. Is it because I’m not using Conservation of Energy?
Whats with that weird blue/white geyser that sometimes happens in this video with the fight v Hermod?
That's the scripture of Wen god book going off :)
Yeaaaah that's the stuff man!
Can you also do an AOE/slayer revolution guide?
will depend on task, i'm looking to include it with something in the future

Yep bought the 95 set. Making 1b took alot less time then grinding 300+ kills
Don't you need to craft a set of t95 before you can buy it?
@@Blad0tomato no it's a drop from tfn
@@mazerickd ah shit thought we were talking about t90 power. My bad.
Is it 1b the full set?
does not work for me skeletons are not dying to scythe due to the way they spawn in
Watched another guide - failed. watched your guide - succeeded. that poison tip made the difference.
Which prayers are you using ? Because I'm using Sorrow with soul split but I can't sustain my prayer even though I use penance powder.
Same here always running out of prayer points
im tier 70 noob and i wanna semi-afk.... how come for lover tier u dont use ultimate ability first ? our adrenaline bar is full before boss spawns, why not use all adrenaline ?
It's because of cooldowns and the skeleton being a huge chunk of damage
@@ProtoxxGaming can you make blood reaver pouch guide, they are good money now
Without the zuk cape i was able to sub sub minute kills. I need to just bite the bullet and go get the zuk cape!
Thanks protoxx great guide we are going to try to buy the t95 😂 armour 😂 i know it sucks been poorly
did this w/ t70 weapons + elder ovl and BIS perks for the weapons.
It would be nice if the runes could be put inside a rune pouch :(
They will add something in which ectoplasm and runes can be added in the future. No ETA provided just yet
@@ProtoxxGamingAmazing stuff! Any proposed changes to the Ultimatums 4 Perk yet? I'm thinking that perk will become META in the future :p
@@Kranon Ultimatums
Is worthless if you have the cape.. but if you don't have the capes then it is goo
It counts as afk if you can kill him in 40 seconds with t70 weapons/armour? Xd
Why does Hermod sound like a herbal tea brand
2:25 you say the magic zuk cape
Vuln bombs help a lot skiping minions
1:15 You don't have access to what?
Deathdealer robes (t70 and up necromancy dps armour). It's very much possible people watching this will not have killed the boss at all

How is this Away from Keyboard? not being funny, I dont understand.. thx
You can leave your client (and go make tea or something) while killing this boss without needing to click anything. That's AFK :)
My problem i have with a lot of these guides is the extreme upkeep cost of literaly all of that. You're looking at bleeding tens of millions per hour
This way too much. I was getting similar kill times with just (skele/ghost/death skulls)
Ten of millions? from what?
Like 2-3m from ovl+reaver+kwuarm sticks+penance powder.
I dont think lanta sticks are worth using without aggro pots. That's 300k down the drain to save 2 ovl doses and a weapon poison dose.
not to necro a video but hermod uses necro and therefore cannot miss, darkness would be a waste of money as it will have no effect.

It very much is, just visually different
or you could actually just play the game
