I'm still here and ready to make some content again. Thank you for all the support in my absence :) Inferno Livestream: ruclips.net/user/liveawDZWa6CIfM?si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE Discord: discord.gg/zUYxtwY
That video made me feel a lot better about where I am at with my budget gear! Like I see everyone walking in ancestrals and inquisitor and torva and sometimes feel like they’re the go to. But not necessarily! I don’t have the time or money to buy those expensive gears and you showed me that I can do a lot of content with whatever items I currently have and just be happy with it. Nice guide! I’ll def come back to it later
I've been playing for 14 years, but still decided to watch just to check out an up to date gear guide. You did absolutely amazing on this man. Very clear, and to the point. Always making good recommendations, as well as reminding people of previous tiers, and other items that can be paired with setups. Bravo sir, very nice. I posted this in my clan's disc, as we have a vast community with both new players, and vets. This guide I'm sure will be helpful for at least a few people in there. If anyone ever asks about gear progression, I'll 100% be forwarding this guide to them.
I want to add in another honorable mention: The Sarachnis cudgel. The cudgel is a crush weapon that requires 65 attack, and has no quest requirement. It is the same speed as the dragon scimitar with 3 more crush accuracy than the d scim's slash accuracy, and it has 4 more strength, however, it has 10 less accuracy and strength bonus than the abyssal whip. It costs 217k. I think it makes a good weapon in between the d scim, and the whip. Another option is the leaf-bladed battleaxe. The battleaxe has 2 more accuracy, and 22 more strength, than the cudgel, but is 1 tick slower. I recently returned to Runescape, and I used the cudgel in the warrior's guild to get my dragon defender.
I do think the Cudgel is a good weapon when you're first able to get your hands on it. If I talked about a monetary threshold in between 1m-10m then I would have mentioned it. Another positive for it is that you can use it before the Whip if your Attack level isn't at 70 yet :) The Battleaxe can be an alright budget Crush Weapon, but I don't like it as much, except for killing Turoth & Kurask. The Attack Speed being slower on it really drags it down.
Very solid guide! I’d like to touch on niche items a bit for the players that do read the comments. You invest into the gear that’s good if not best in slot at the content you desire to do or already do and enjoy. In OSRS, weapons have the highest weight in DPS. Melee being the most situational relying on which melee attack style the monster/boss is weak to. Blade of Saeldor - As it is a cool looking sword especially with the option to change its colors once corrupted but I think this is more of an Ironman’s weapon considering Ghrazi Rapier is from Theatre of Blood and Inquisitor’s Mace is from Nightmare. They all provide similar DPS overall but can be better or worse depending on what the monster is weak to. Rapier is the overall best option considering it’s price and it’s very good for general Slayer tasks. Saeldor is an option for Ironmen running ToB if Kraken has not been unlocked and/or no tentacle drops. Inquisitor’s Mace is only good for Nightmare and Basilisk Knights (with Inquisitor’s Armor). Armadyl Crossbow - A direct upgrade to a Dragon Crossbow but accounts for ~1% DPS over the Dragon. Now it’s special attack is particularly useful for Phantom Muspah’s prayer phase utilizing Sapphire (e) bolts. This weapon is also good enough to do Nex especially in a mass and maybe get lucky on some drops. Zaryte Crossbow - Best crossbow in the game (currently). One of the most expensive items in the game, a direct upgrade over the Armadyl Crossbow which is required to create the ZcB utilizing the Nihil Horn from Nex and 250 Nihil Shards. This is BiS special attack weapon at Phantom Muspah, Nex, and a powerful special attack weapon for Tombs of Amascut. Zaryte Vambraces - Best in slot Ranged gloves. A direct upgrade over the Barrows Gloves. I’d argue this is one of the final upgrades you’d make to your Ranged armor. It matters the most with Twisted Bow considering how a TBow gets it’s damage/accuracy. Anything below a TBow it’s not a massive upgrade. Spectral Spirit Shield - You can opt to invest in this if you really enjoy Cerberus and/or want to grind Cerberus out for collection log. The 50% reduced Prayer drain is helpful when you’re not 92+ Prayer. It can also be useful at Nex reducing the overall Prayer drain throughout the encounter. In a mass it doesn’t matter as much considering quick kill times so you’d most likely camp a Twisted Buckler for the extra DPS. Dragon Hunter equipment - Niche power creep. Not necessary unless either camping Vorkath, Wyverns, or can’t afford higher end gear for Alchemical Hydra. Also good for Olm in Chambers of Xeric. I’d argue that Torva is niche. It’s not spectacular for what it costs but it is a direct upgrade over Bandos. Requiring Bandos armor to repair the Torva components. If you really want Torva, just camp Nex until you complete a set. I’d argue that Inquisitor’s set is a much better value. Inquisitor’s is amazing for the price point, performance per dollar spent. Torva may be labeled as best in slot for most content but the high price tag makes it a terrible value. I’d opt to obtain an Infernal Cape over Torva considering the cape is a guaranteed max hit (+4 Str bonus over Fire Cape) and Torva requires any 2/3 pieces to obtain a max hit. Even if you spend 300M in supplies running Inferno until you get it, it’s a far better value. Considering Infernal Cape is overwhelmingly best in slot in pretty much every melee setup.
For people at lower to mid level stats, gear cannot replace combat stats for dps. Spending 20 hours grinding a lower tier boss for an upgrade isn't as good as putting that time into stats and then grinding better bosses with better stats. I broke it all the way down just the other day in my clan for people complaining about not getting corp kills because some people had torva. Using Fang, fire cape, zerker ring, and torture as the baseline gear, full torva, prims, ferocious gloves, avernic on an account with 90 att/str has less dps than full obby, barrows gloves, dragon boots, dragon defender at 99 att/str. This is super combat up with piety on. Around 1bil worth of gear couldn't outdo 9 attack and 9 strength levels. Just train your stats. Short term boring stuff is well worth the long term benefits.
Very clear and concise train of thought with great suggestions. I agree with just about everything you said. Small tip for those who don't mind sticking to about 3-4 bosses ex. zulrah, bandos, zilly, maybe wildy bosses you can go full crystal armor and switch between all those bosses and make good money since you mainly focus on one form of combat.
I think the Saradomin Godsword is massively underrated. I know this is a hot take, but I use mine at a ton of places, it's still a passable spec weapon as it does have an accuracy and damage boost on top of the heals and Prayer restore. I use it for melee Bandos and Zammy, DKs, KQ pre-diary, some Slayer bosses like Cerberus and GGs. My first 50m on this game was spent on a Blowpipe, Toxic Trident, Abyssal tentacle, SGS, Karil's top, Verac's skirt, Serp helm, and I just camped the shit out of DKs with the Fremennik Elite diaries completed. This was back when Zulrah was the best money in the game at like 3-4m an hour but DKs was a lot more fun for me and it was very close in money with the noted bones, at like 2-3m/hr. I guess it just depends what content you want to do to build your bank though, DKs was a staple for me pre-Nex, once Nex came out all that changed, I've been at Nex ever since, made like 6b, and still haven't greened the log, I'll go until I get the pet.
Once you hit the point of: Rapier/Fang, Serp, BCP/Torso, Tassets, DBoots, Zerk(i), Torture, B/F Gloves, Fire Cape, DDefender… Every Upgrade is so incredibly expensive and only offers minute Attack and/or Strength Bonuses. Examples: Avernic Defender is +1/2 STR upgrade over DDefender/DFS - 85M. Neiznot Faceguard offers +1 STR over Serp with reduced defense bonuses and Venom Immunity - 20M. Primordial Boots provide an additional +1 STR and +2 ATK bonuses over DBoots - 27M. Infernal Cape is a huge Upgrade, but can only be achieved by absolute monsters spending countless hours - PRICELESS. Ferocious Gloves over Barrows Gloves is a Great Value for the Cost - 7M. You essentially end up spending 2-3x more than you’ve spent on your entire Gear Setup in order to gain +1-2 Max Hits. And as crazy as that is, It’s even nuttier for Ranged Gear - Looking at you, Pegasian Boots! You’re better off investing into Stats, Utility and Quality of Life - SGS, Viggora/Ursine Chainmace, Bonecrusher, Ash Sanctifer, Prayers, Transportation, Ect! Those things will both, make your life either and provide you more opportunities to make more GP. When those small upgrades no longer seem so expensive to you because you’re stacked with GP, then splurge and get yourself an additional Max hit or Two lol
Overall great guide! I'd suggest a nightmare staff over tormented bracelet for most players. Especially if doing slayer over raiding. Autocast ancients on slayer tasks +Mag Dmg. Also rare to NOT use slaughter bracelets when bursting tasks. Prims and avernic are also higher priority over bcp when doing mixed content because you use prayer gear for so many tasks. Brimstone ring is also a good choice for early bossing when hybrid/tribrid (increased accuracy and passive to avoid 10% def) for only 3m.
Bcp is never worth early on unless some niche situatuions (camping vork for example where u can splash crumble undead with torso). And brimstone ring is dead content outside pvp imo. You’re better off camping zerk ring or camping suffering (i) depending on content. And tormented bracelet is too good to pass up on unless u stricly use magic for slayer bursting
Osmumten crashed like crazy. Trading for 45m now. Thanks for the tips. Could throw in the Devout boots as a mage upgrade as a qol upgrade for training slayer. I use them a lot then since I'm using points to get quick tasks or good xp tasks. As another person mentioned with how cheap runes are especially 94 mage is like 15m I think with just prayer garb and a occult and has been one of my favorite purchases.
Yeah I mentioned them quickly in the honorable mentions section at the end. I also used them a lot at Slayer, it was close for me to not officially put them in a tier.
@@davidmonturi5637 It's a gamemode you can select before leaving Tutorial Island - it locks your account from all forms of trading (trading players, grand exchange, and picking up other players' dropped items). It's a fun gamemode if you prefer a "singleplayer" like experience and you can still interact with others in minigames or certain other group content like raids.
For your first $1M, Just straight up grinding out VOID is the best possible armor for every style. Grab a D Scim, Barrows Gloves, Dragon Defender, Dragon boots, Snakeskin boots, wizard boots, Dragon Dagger P++, Unholy Book(ranged/mage), Ibans Staff, Rune Crossbow, Avas Assembler, and a Glory Ammy. Lastly, Take that gear and go get your first fire cape. Now you're set for life on budget gear. From there (first $10M), Upgrade your Neck to a Fury, grab a Berserkers Ring, Archers Ring, and seers ring. Finally, Upgrade your D Scim to an Abyssal Dagger. This is all you need to max your combat and do literally every single piece of content that it isn't required for you to be max combat to complete . Yes, I recommend upgrading everything EXCEPT your Void gear as it has the MOST impact for your money, and gives you a flat damage increase across the board. Focusing on doing quests and getting Elite void should be your first priority before upgrading past the $10M tier, and maxxing or nearly maxxing combat is recommended as well. The order below is what you can buy things in to get the most out of your money. If you are nearing max combat, Dharoks is an honorable mention instead and is also worth the investment, though it's very expensive to use. First $100M, Buy a Dragon Warhammer ($25M), SaraGS ($20M), Arma Crossbow ($45M) (Yes, it's worth it for the spec on bosses, especially Vorkath and MM2/DS2). First Priority after these is Rigour . You do not need Augury. Augury is a luxury for some content. After this, you can start replacing Void with BIS gear or full upgrades from VOID (i guess just upgrades and no longer BIS) such as Neitz Faceguard, Bandos Chest/Tassets, Full Arma, and Full Ahrims w/ occult neck. You can now buy whatever you want, but you have everything you'll need to do whatever content you want. I'm nearing Max Combat and my bank is only worth 137M right now. I got all of my money from questing, Vorkath, and skilling (slayer/farming/mining/smithing/etc). Set small goals, and don't focus on upgrading your gear until you max your combat to avoid burning out and quitting.
Ive been slowly getting back into rs3 and osrs. This really helped me figure things out aftet stepping away for a very long time. I really appreciate it.
Really appreciate this video, I feel like I've been stuck and not really knowing what I should be upgrading next and what to focus on, so this helped a ton.
It’s relieving to see how much content I can make goals for. I’m getting into mid game now and I can now see that the gap from early to mid game is a lot smaller than the gap from mid game to late game :-)
This is a great guide! Love how long you kept the torso, I see too many people spend for the BCP when they have other, better upgradse to make. The one thing I strongly disagree with is the Archer's Ring. Extremely marginal DPS increase for its price point, especially because with that 4m left over you wouldn't have gone over budget at future tiers. I have a 1.7b bank and for ranged I'll use Suffering, Lightbearer, or sometimes Ring of the Gods.
I shoulda bought Rigour before the TOA update when it was like 12m smh 🤦🏻♂️ still kicking myself for it months later… told myself it was gonna keep dropping because I figured most people already had it by now so the demand was < supply therefore it wouldn’t go back up and boy was I wrong. Now I’m saying I’ll buy it if it ever hits 25m. Might cave at like 27m tho. It’s gonna be years before it hits 12m again (if it ever even does) I’m tired of using eagle eye on my max combat main. With a 2150 total level I’m embarrassed not having rigour
Light bearer at skilling bosses and just for skilling in general is absolutely amazing and help build gp slightly, I'd say getting that early is a huge win(around 20-25m). I mean using it for literally any skill that has a dragon weapon to boost you can be amazing and usually I'm still on my last boosted level before I get another charge so if I'm 74 wc, I can cut magics for as long as I want until 75 but also that little bit of gp goes a long way over the course of the game. It is also amazing for slayer with sgs as you state, one of my favorite combos, but really just an amazing buy for a utility ring.
Quality video, liked and subbed. surprisingly I’ve stuck pretty close to this on my own. Quick back story, stopped playin right after I bought dwh for 50m cam back and it was 25m. It was most of my cash stack so I quit again. Now I’m cuttin my losses got 27m. Thinking about buying the fang. Selling whip/dagger and smoke to ubrape ahrims and trident. Really I’m just skipping the anguish for the fang given how cheap it is. Just a mobile player with farming money who does a lot of slayer and afk shit lol.
Personally, Lightbearer is a must have for anyone with 50m or more. Not having it over ahrims or karils seems pointless to me if you have a singularly decent spec weapon.
It really depends on what spec weapon you have, and what boss or bosses you plan on grinding out. I think it's a great item but in the context of this guide I waited to make a purchase on it.
@@TryHardCasual I mean its got great synergy with the blowpipe as it is. Its worth the same as the other two rings combined and offers way more value over them and certainly karils/ahrims. Not to mention that sgs is way too high on the list considering it hinders purchasing full crystal for an extremely niche weapon that offers no value outside of inferno (too poor for eldritch) if you have guthans. But hey that's just my take. Appreciate the reply.
Couple niche cases are hard to pass on, due to their specific bonuses enable some of the most effective methods to variety of content, such as dragon hunter weapons. I've bought crossbow just to use against Vorkath and having trouble selling it, since it enables me to farm Vorkath, Brutal Black Dragons, Hydra etc. I've been jumping back and forth between Lance (+ BGS) and Crossbow, but can't get myself to pass them in trade for other upgrades such as Rigor scroll (that goes for 30+ mil atm).
Yeah man definitely pick up the rigour, it's huge for bossing and if u already like to farm vorkath it will just make it even more faster. It might hurt a bit to see ur cash stack go but you will make it back in no time and now you permanently have rigour unlocked.
I am not denying that rigor is great. But what i am saying is that i have 60 mil weapon that enables me to farm Vorkath efficiently, which in turns helps me farm GP to get Rigor. Selling Crossbow in trade of Rigor will take that away, even tho Rigor is overall much better upgrade. But muh 1:40 Vorkath kills tho. (Also i actually traded my Dragon hunter weapon for a Fang atm, because i've been doing a lot of Slayer and getting my strength up)
its funny how u go from 1 mil for 3 combat style based setups to buying a blowpipe for 3 mil for new players its impossible to keep up with all the new armors after dragon and the billions of teleport items and enchants, not to mention the money you need to just play the game
Been following this guide for months, at the 500m mark now starting to save up for Crystal :D. Just curious, now with the Virtus robe set out around where might have you slotted that into this guide (Assuming its not just another honorable mention)
I have been out of the OSRS grind for a little bit now, I'm just now starting to come back from being burnt. My opinion might be off because of that BUT I think they can be good in the right circumstance. They give Magic Strength, which makes them better than Ahrim's instantly, it's just not a lot of Magic Strength (unless you're using Ancient Spells, which boosts the total set bonus from 3% to 12%). An unfortified Elidinis Ward would give the same Magic Strength bonus as the entire set and it costs ~100m less. For something like Bursting you get a lot more value out of them from the boosted Magic Strength amount. While they are good, I think the price is high for what you get out of them. I really like having a magic set in between Ancestral and Ahrims though and I think they're in a nice spot for the game. I could see a case being made to buy them somewhere between 500m-1b, just depends on how much Magic Bossing or Bursting you plan on doing to get your value out of them.
Boys with that lovely left over cash treat yourself to an ancient mace it’s only 2k and gives you prayer points back with its spec so it’s great on tasks or for over restoring prayer for bosses ;)
A Cannon can for sure be picked up sooner than when I put it. I did mention it as an option with some of the money I leftover in previous Tiers. I put it at 150m because in the context of this guide I felt as thought it can wait, I viewed it more as a luxury item, not a necessary one.
@@TryHardCasual Makes sense to me. I do encourage people to not be afraid to invest in it early, same rationale as buying things like chinchompas to power train ranging. Investing in your own levels is good too and it's really fun to use :) at least imo
Solid guide, however one thing people tend to sleep on however is how much difference higher combat stats actually make in term of dps. a 50m investment in some chins and burst runes will tend to generate allot more flat dps value then any gear setup would.
The biggest struggle with that is finding a world that isn't being botted at a bursting spot. The only time I ever get a chance to burst/chin is when I happen to come across someone who's actually leaving the spot to go bank and I have to hijack it.
This 99 Mage + ahrims + trident is more dps than 90 Mage + ancestral + sang Going from 90 range to 99 was definitely worth it for me and was only 20 mil
Super solid progression. I would have really liked to see some mention of when dumping for a rebuild is valid, what rebuilds are worth it, and how you'd go about it for each respective rebuild. I've personally found a ton of fun in the tbow rebuild after dumping my bank for it when it was a little over 950m but I'm not certain how viable a shadow or scythe rebuild actually are, and I've even seen some people in my CC do a bowfa / crystal rebuild focusing heavily on Zulrah / GWD
I thought about adding a rebuild section to the video but I also felt the video was long enough as it was, and it keeps things more straightforward without mentioning it. I personally don't like doing rebuilds because it locks you to specific content and it's easier to potentially lose money to the market value of your specific gear dropping. However, I know a lot of people like rebuilds and they can be considered "more efficient" in the long run for gp, as you can run specific content with BiS gear. I think the Tbow is the most common rebuild people go for, I can also see a good argument for a Bowfa one as you're saying. Scythe is a little harder to justify, you have less content reach with it and your supply cost is a lot higher. I'm not as familiar with a Shadow rebuild but there is certainly possibility with it. Thank you btw :)
I definitely think the Fang could fit in the 100m upgrade category and replacing the BGS/zammy spear. It's an incredibly strong general purpose weapon that, as you've already mentioned in the comments as well, can be used during many slayer tasks as well. The only tasks it performs notably worse than the whip on is where you have more than 88%~ accuracy on the mob. Which is mainly stuff like bloodvelds and greater demons. But even on mobs like gargoyles/nechs it performs better than the whip does and on virtually any boss or mini-boss-esque slayer task, it performs notably better than the whip. It's definitely going to be my next upgrade at least! Edit: If not planning on bossing I'd personally also throw out the guthans set. For slayer it's a noob trap since the time spent DPSing unoptimally trying to regen HP with its set effect could've been spent just TPing to a bank real quick and restocking.
Yeah when I started getting my numbers for everything the Fang was over ~20m more than it costs right now, I would possibly consider skipping a Zammy Hasta and putting it a tier sooner with the price of it being so low.
I get what you’re saying but Guthans is not a noob trap a lot of slayer tasks aren’t easy to get to it saves a lot of time and money on prayer pots or super restores
@@jordobangs6930 Then you don't know what I'm saying :P - the point is that the time spent healing up could've been spent DPSing optimally and the time saved could've been used simply restocking at a bank instead. At the majority of slayer tasks it might take you a minute or so to restock 20+ pieces of food. In that minute you can do 20 guthan spear hits, on average 5 of them healing you for lets say 20 on average. So instead of spending a minute healing 100 HP, you could instead spend that minute getting 400 HP worth of food., assuming you're using Sharks. Even if it takes you 2 minutes to restock, that's 200 HP worth of food. Even if it takes you 4 minutes, at that point you're breaking even on time spent.
@@QPoily ya but instead of the food I just bring super restores and a Guthan a set I have 90 strength and attack i put on strength and attack prayers and im full health in 15 secs and I never have to leave the slayer task plus if im watching a movie I can just fully afk with guthans is really the point of it but not leaving a task and bringing extra prayer/restores is faster then leaving I haven’t carried food in a long time
@@QPoily I got the fang and Bandos but I also carry a guthans set with super combat pots im full health in literally 15 secs then I can keep a strength pray up and use the extra restores to pray the whole task or even just keep protection prayers on
After I learned toa I got into it and got my first purple (fang) at 8kc with a death. So I kept grinding for my second purple, and on 69kc I got the other weapon drop :)
You do not always get a Max hit when using Obby Legs. It depends on your level, if you're using Piety, if you have boosts, and the rest of the gear you have on, a change in any of those could make it different.
nm staff (no orb) is really good for the price; basically a budget kodai. Sadly, we stopped the guide at 1b when several of the big ticket setups are over that :D
Once you're at the 1B setup it's basically just BIS upgrades until the T-bow rebuild, there's not enough nuance other than that you should skip Armadyl and go straight to Masori, and Pegasians are a low priority upgrade.
10:36 That's not how the word Neitiznot is pronounced, fella. They let you know how to say it during the quest, when two of the npc's are arguing one of them tells the other one "ja tiz so" and the other responds with "nay tiz not"; that is how it should be pronounced, not "nee its not". Both towns are a play on words: "Nay, 'tis not", whilst Jatizso is a word play for "Ya, 'tis so". Just a friendly heads up.
The +1 Strength bonus very often doesn't increase your max hit, I value other platelegs over it that have a higher defense or prayer bonus. Still, I could see a case being made for them, I just felt as though it wasn't worth it, since I was thinking about every combat style when allocating the gp.
archers ring is terrible, would not recommend ever buying it. under any circumstance. Also str ammy for your melee setup until you can afford torture. Glory is a noob trap. Fury is only really an upgrade when you fight higher defense monsters, which you aren't going to be doing. great video. think the 750m/1b setup coulda been tweaked a lot though
Holy cow Runescape is expensive. The gear upgrades don't even look that crazy (no Scythe, no Twisted Bow, no Masori, no Kodai, no Ancestral, not even wildy weapons) and we are still sligtly over budget. Yeah... I'mma shutup about my ironman grind. The fact that I have any equipment at all sounds miraculous in comparison. Liquidating my whole bank and resources tab wouldn't get me nearly as far as I imagined, wow. Great vid!
Can you make a raids guide maybe one for each raid up to 2b or one general guide. Can include hypothetical tbow and scythe rebuild and then repeat gear progression. I guess it's already been done but you could work it into a video cuz I've never seen that, you know the old cox progression setup,don't think there's one for tob or toa though. That would be good and helpful content generally.
I'm not sure I have the experience to make a Guide on Raid Rebuilds and such, plus I've never had a 2B bank hah. I'm probably most familiar with ToA but even still I'm sure there are people way more qualified than myself to speak on the matter. Some people had issue with picks in this general gear progression guide, I can only imagine the flaws they would find in a Raid specific one lol.
@@TryHardCasual if you want to make the video I can provide information about cox gear progression, I have over 3,000 cox and my old raid leader before he was banned had over 13,000
I put the Occult right in the second Tier, even at 600k it's too much to include at 1m. With the Trident Vs. Smoke Staff, I just made an assumption that most people aren't going to have 85+ Magic at lower Bank Values. The Smoke Staff/Tome is going to be better than a Trident until around that Magic level.
As a new player to osrs I absolutely loved this! Going to help me alot, but I’m struggling to find a good video on what quests to do from start to mid game to end game, that’s the only thing in osrs that I feel super overwhelmed with is what quests do to in order to benefit me the most? Anyone can help me please?
The Wiki actually has an "optimal quest order" that some people like to follow: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Optimal_quest_guide You don't have to follow everything from it perfectly but it's a pretty decent way to see what your options are. I personally really liked completing quests that gave me a gear reward: RFD, DS2, Mage Arena.. Honestly though, almost every quest is good to complete, most of them advance your account in one way or another, I wouldn't stress too much about it. Maybe read the optimal quest list, see what looks interesting to you, and aim for those one.
The bit I most disagree is the 750m one, I don't own a DHL, Fang is just almost as good to better at dragons and avernic is a huge investment that you cannot sell back, I would wait till post a big rebuild to get an avernic.
Avernic is the next rigour, sure u can't sell it back and that scares alot of newcomers but trust me, u won't regret buying it if u plan on raiding or group bossing. It provides a nice accuracy boost when paired with DWH and as mentioned in the video def draining specs are insanely valuble and with lance this let's u start efficiently grinding Cox or with a tent whip TOB, there is a reason both these upgrades hold high value. I would even put it in the 500m tier if u want to rush raiding tbh
@@WestonAdam72 I have an avernic and have had one for years, it's one of the very last things one should purchase on an account, comparing it to rigour is asinine, I would get at least a tbow before even considering an avernic.
@VegaMK2 I guess to each their own, Don't get me wrong, tbow is amazing and I loved my rebuild but not everyone wants to do a tbow rebuild. Alot of my friends chose to stick with crystal+bofa/lance/dwh to grind raids to eventually afford the tbow and as I said the avernic is really nice in both raids. As for me comparing it to rigour it's just cause they are the 2 big untradable unlocks for an acc. It all really comes down to content u do tho, like if ur gonna grind tob ur way better off with a scythe/sang/avernic/dwh/blowpipe setup then just a tbow, but if ur going to rebuild at nex obviously an avernic won't be of much use there and a tbow will pop off even in void/dhide.
And also act like you're a New York businessman who's late to a meeting because every Tom Dick and Harry lurer, scammer, and con artist is gonna be drooling over it. Once you're rich like that there's no more fooling around, don't even touch a PvP world.
If you are high combat stats and don't have a lot of gold, grind corrupted gauntlet with 0 cash. I got 2 bowfa and now i'm on a cash roll (venenatis voidwaker x2 etc...) because of this boom.
Tassets before faceguard was a huge head scratcher. Why on earth would you spend the money on a +1 str bonus when you could get +3 and have some gp left over? No amount of defensive stats makes tassets the better choice there.
Just to clarify something first: we only had Dragonlegs in the video and upgraded to Tassets, so it would be a +2 strength bonus. The main reason though, is that I had us pick up a Serp Helm earlier. It's obviously best used at a Boss where you want to avoid poison/venom, but it gives a +5 Strength Bonus and you can still take it on any Melee Boss over a Helm of Neitiznot (yes a Serp Helm requires charges which is a downside to it). BUT If we look at it this way, the Faceguard Upgrade would only gives us a +1 Strength Bonus for about the same price as Tassets. Also a lesser reason is that the Faceguard has a quest requirement and the Tassets do not, typically that doesn't really matter but it ever so slightly made me value the Tassets more.
The +1 Strength bonus very often doesn't increase your max hit, I value other platelegs over it that have a higher defense or prayer bonus. Still, I could see a case being made for them, I just felt as though it wasn't worth it, since I was thinking about every combat style when allocating the gp. Thank you tho
fang over rapier, I have armadyl as ranged gear ( i have void aswell) justicar and bandos as meelee, and ahrims as magic, i think its hard to understand what would be best in slot, this guide helped me, but im still not sure if im doing the right thing

Please man, we need an update to this, the year mark has arrived and.. Yeah, weve got a lot more on our plate, please get us another one!
That video made me feel a lot better about where I am at with my budget gear! Like I see everyone walking in ancestrals and inquisitor and torva and sometimes feel like they’re the go to. But not necessarily! I don’t have the time or money to buy those expensive gears and you showed me that I can do a lot of content with whatever items I currently have and just be happy with it. Nice guide! I’ll def come back to it later

@@nickclark18 yeah no shit r word
I've been playing for 14 years, but still decided to watch just to check out an up to date gear guide. You did absolutely amazing on this man. Very clear, and to the point. Always making good recommendations, as well as reminding people of previous tiers, and other items that can be paired with setups. Bravo sir, very nice. I posted this in my clan's disc, as we have a vast community with both new players, and vets. This guide I'm sure will be helpful for at least a few people in there. If anyone ever asks about gear progression, I'll 100% be forwarding this guide to them.
This means a lot man, thank you! I'm glad I could help in some way!
I want to add in another honorable mention: The Sarachnis cudgel. The cudgel is a crush weapon that requires 65 attack, and has no quest requirement. It is the same speed as the dragon scimitar with 3 more crush accuracy than the d scim's slash accuracy, and it has 4 more strength, however, it has 10 less accuracy and strength bonus than the abyssal whip. It costs 217k. I think it makes a good weapon in between the d scim, and the whip. Another option is the leaf-bladed battleaxe. The battleaxe has 2 more accuracy, and 22 more strength, than the cudgel, but is 1 tick slower. I recently returned to Runescape, and I used the cudgel in the warrior's guild to get my dragon defender.
I do think the Cudgel is a good weapon when you're first able to get your hands on it. If I talked about a monetary threshold in between 1m-10m then I would have mentioned it. Another positive for it is that you can use it before the Whip if your Attack level isn't at 70 yet :)
The Battleaxe can be an alright budget Crush Weapon, but I don't like it as much, except for killing Turoth & Kurask. The Attack Speed being slower on it really drags it down.
Very solid guide! I’d like to touch on niche items a bit for the players that do read the comments.
You invest into the gear that’s good if not best in slot at the content you desire to do or already do and enjoy.
In OSRS, weapons have the highest weight in DPS. Melee being the most situational relying on which melee attack style the monster/boss is weak to.
Blade of Saeldor - As it is a cool looking sword especially with the option to change its colors once corrupted but I think this is more of an Ironman’s weapon considering Ghrazi Rapier is from Theatre of Blood and Inquisitor’s Mace is from Nightmare. They all provide similar DPS overall but can be better or worse depending on what the monster is weak to. Rapier is the overall best option considering it’s price and it’s very good for general Slayer tasks. Saeldor is an option for Ironmen running ToB if Kraken has not been unlocked and/or no tentacle drops. Inquisitor’s Mace is only good for Nightmare and Basilisk Knights (with Inquisitor’s Armor).
Armadyl Crossbow - A direct upgrade to a Dragon Crossbow but accounts for ~1% DPS over the Dragon. Now it’s special attack is particularly useful for Phantom Muspah’s prayer phase utilizing Sapphire (e) bolts. This weapon is also good enough to do Nex especially in a mass and maybe get lucky on some drops.
Zaryte Crossbow - Best crossbow in the game (currently). One of the most expensive items in the game, a direct upgrade over the Armadyl Crossbow which is required to create the ZcB utilizing the Nihil Horn from Nex and 250 Nihil Shards. This is BiS special attack weapon at Phantom Muspah, Nex, and a powerful special attack weapon for Tombs of Amascut.
Zaryte Vambraces - Best in slot Ranged gloves. A direct upgrade over the Barrows Gloves. I’d argue this is one of the final upgrades you’d make to your Ranged armor. It matters the most with Twisted Bow considering how a TBow gets it’s damage/accuracy. Anything below a TBow it’s not a massive upgrade.
Spectral Spirit Shield - You can opt to invest in this if you really enjoy Cerberus and/or want to grind Cerberus out for collection log. The 50% reduced Prayer drain is helpful when you’re not 92+ Prayer. It can also be useful at Nex reducing the overall Prayer drain throughout the encounter. In a mass it doesn’t matter as much considering quick kill times so you’d most likely camp a Twisted Buckler for the extra DPS.
Dragon Hunter equipment - Niche power creep. Not necessary unless either camping Vorkath, Wyverns, or can’t afford higher end gear for Alchemical Hydra. Also good for Olm in Chambers of Xeric.
I’d argue that Torva is niche. It’s not spectacular for what it costs but it is a direct upgrade over Bandos. Requiring Bandos armor to repair the Torva components. If you really want Torva, just camp Nex until you complete a set. I’d argue that Inquisitor’s set is a much better value. Inquisitor’s is amazing for the price point, performance per dollar spent. Torva may be labeled as best in slot for most content but the high price tag makes it a terrible value. I’d opt to obtain an Infernal Cape over Torva considering the cape is a guaranteed max hit (+4 Str bonus over Fire Cape) and Torva requires any 2/3 pieces to obtain a max hit. Even if you spend 300M in supplies running Inferno until you get it, it’s a far better value. Considering Infernal Cape is overwhelmingly best in slot in pretty much every melee setup.
For people at lower to mid level stats, gear cannot replace combat stats for dps. Spending 20 hours grinding a lower tier boss for an upgrade isn't as good as putting that time into stats and then grinding better bosses with better stats. I broke it all the way down just the other day in my clan for people complaining about not getting corp kills because some people had torva. Using Fang, fire cape, zerker ring, and torture as the baseline gear, full torva, prims, ferocious gloves, avernic on an account with 90 att/str has less dps than full obby, barrows gloves, dragon boots, dragon defender at 99 att/str. This is super combat up with piety on. Around 1bil worth of gear couldn't outdo 9 attack and 9 strength levels. Just train your stats. Short term boring stuff is well worth the long term benefits.
Very clear and concise train of thought with great suggestions. I agree with just about everything you said.
Small tip for those who don't mind sticking to about 3-4 bosses ex. zulrah, bandos, zilly, maybe wildy bosses you can go full crystal armor and switch between all those bosses and make good money since you mainly focus on one form of combat.
I think the Saradomin Godsword is massively underrated. I know this is a hot take, but I use mine at a ton of places, it's still a passable spec weapon as it does have an accuracy and damage boost on top of the heals and Prayer restore. I use it for melee Bandos and Zammy, DKs, KQ pre-diary, some Slayer bosses like Cerberus and GGs. My first 50m on this game was spent on a Blowpipe, Toxic Trident, Abyssal tentacle, SGS, Karil's top, Verac's skirt, Serp helm, and I just camped the shit out of DKs with the Fremennik Elite diaries completed. This was back when Zulrah was the best money in the game at like 3-4m an hour but DKs was a lot more fun for me and it was very close in money with the noted bones, at like 2-3m/hr. I guess it just depends what content you want to do to build your bank though, DKs was a staple for me pre-Nex, once Nex came out all that changed, I've been at Nex ever since, made like 6b, and still haven't greened the log, I'll go until I get the pet.
Once you hit the point of: Rapier/Fang, Serp, BCP/Torso, Tassets, DBoots, Zerk(i), Torture, B/F Gloves, Fire Cape, DDefender… Every Upgrade is so incredibly expensive and only offers minute Attack and/or Strength Bonuses. Examples:
Avernic Defender is +1/2 STR upgrade over DDefender/DFS - 85M.
Neiznot Faceguard offers +1 STR over Serp with reduced defense bonuses and Venom Immunity - 20M.
Primordial Boots provide an additional +1 STR and +2 ATK bonuses over DBoots - 27M.
Infernal Cape is a huge Upgrade, but can only be achieved by absolute monsters spending countless hours - PRICELESS.
Ferocious Gloves over Barrows Gloves is a Great Value for the Cost - 7M.
You essentially end up spending 2-3x more than you’ve spent on your entire Gear Setup in order to gain +1-2 Max Hits. And as crazy as that is, It’s even nuttier for Ranged Gear - Looking at you, Pegasian Boots!
You’re better off investing into Stats, Utility and Quality of Life - SGS, Viggora/Ursine Chainmace, Bonecrusher, Ash Sanctifer, Prayers, Transportation, Ect! Those things will both, make your life either and provide you more opportunities to make more GP. When those small upgrades no longer seem so expensive to you because you’re stacked with GP, then splurge and get yourself an additional Max hit or Two lol
So many people don’t understand this logic or have the peer pressure of not wanting to “look like a noob”
you really put a lot of effort into this video and it shows. Great content!
Overall great guide!
I'd suggest a nightmare staff over tormented bracelet for most players. Especially if doing slayer over raiding.
Autocast ancients on slayer tasks +Mag Dmg.
Also rare to NOT use slaughter bracelets when bursting tasks.
Prims and avernic are also higher priority over bcp when doing mixed content because you use prayer gear for so many tasks.
Brimstone ring is also a good choice for early bossing when hybrid/tribrid (increased accuracy and passive to avoid 10% def) for only 3m.
Thank you for your insight! I took a break for a bit and just looking these items up has boggled my mind XD
Bcp is never worth early on unless some niche situatuions (camping vork for example where u can splash crumble undead with torso). And brimstone ring is dead content outside pvp imo. You’re better off camping zerk ring or camping suffering (i) depending on content. And tormented bracelet is too good to pass up on unless u stricly use magic for slayer bursting
Osmumten crashed like crazy. Trading for 45m now. Thanks for the tips. Could throw in the Devout boots as a mage upgrade as a qol upgrade for training slayer. I use them a lot then since I'm using points to get quick tasks or good xp tasks. As another person mentioned with how cheap runes are especially 94 mage is like 15m I think with just prayer garb and a occult and has been one of my favorite purchases.
Yeah I mentioned them quickly in the honorable mentions section at the end. I also used them a lot at Slayer, it was close for me to not officially put them in a tier.
Watching as an ironman: Interesting, interesting
Ironman merching guide coming next
@@TryHardCasual lets go im ready to make bank
I’m new to osrs, what is Ironman?
@@davidmonturi5637 It's a gamemode you can select before leaving Tutorial Island - it locks your account from all forms of trading (trading players, grand exchange, and picking up other players' dropped items). It's a fun gamemode if you prefer a "singleplayer" like experience and you can still interact with others in minigames or certain other group content like raids.
@@davidmonturi5637 they can't trade stuff to other players. All items are earned by them. Theres other modes that stop people from having a bank.
For your first $1M, Just straight up grinding out VOID is the best possible armor for every style. Grab a D Scim, Barrows Gloves, Dragon Defender, Dragon boots, Snakeskin boots, wizard boots, Dragon Dagger P++, Unholy Book(ranged/mage), Ibans Staff, Rune Crossbow, Avas Assembler, and a Glory Ammy. Lastly, Take that gear and go get your first fire cape. Now you're set for life on budget gear.
From there (first $10M), Upgrade your Neck to a Fury, grab a Berserkers Ring, Archers Ring, and seers ring. Finally, Upgrade your D Scim to an Abyssal Dagger.
This is all you need to max your combat and do literally every single piece of content that it isn't required for you to be max combat to complete
.
Yes, I recommend upgrading everything EXCEPT your Void gear as it has the MOST impact for your money, and gives you a flat damage increase across the board. Focusing on doing quests and getting Elite void should be your first priority before upgrading past the $10M tier, and maxxing or nearly maxxing combat is recommended as well. The order below is what you can buy things in to get the most out of your money. If you are nearing max combat, Dharoks is an honorable mention instead and is also worth the investment, though it's very expensive to use.
First $100M, Buy a Dragon Warhammer ($25M), SaraGS ($20M), Arma Crossbow ($45M) (Yes, it's worth it for the spec on bosses, especially Vorkath and MM2/DS2).
First Priority after these is Rigour . You do not need Augury. Augury is a luxury for some content.
After this, you can start replacing Void with BIS gear or full upgrades from VOID (i guess just upgrades and no longer BIS) such as Neitz Faceguard, Bandos Chest/Tassets, Full Arma, and Full Ahrims w/ occult neck. You can now buy whatever you want, but you have everything you'll need to do whatever content you want.
I'm nearing Max Combat and my bank is only worth 137M right now. I got all of my money from questing, Vorkath, and skilling (slayer/farming/mining/smithing/etc). Set small goals, and don't focus on upgrading your gear until you max your combat to avoid burning out and quitting.
couldnt agree more
This is a VERY solid gear progression video. Top notch.
This has been one of my favorite osrs guides ever honestly. Would you consider making an updated version with all the new gear etc?
bought an avernic last year at around 40m and my friends said it wasnt worth it, crazy how much it's gone up since then
Same, only smart financial decision i made in this game.
Me too 😊 literally the one come up I splurged on and was so worth it
Glad to see another upload from this channel king
Ive been slowly getting back into rs3 and osrs. This really helped me figure things out aftet stepping away for a very long time. I really appreciate it.
Really appreciate this video, I feel like I've been stuck and not really knowing what I should be upgrading next and what to focus on, so this helped a ton.
Thank you for this needed a refresher since i went for the usual drop runescape and this helped me so much.
This is honestly an amazing video. Gonna use this for all my upgrades.. currently waiting on my fang to buy on the GE :D.
Thanks, I needed to sell gear to afford a dexterous prayer scroll and this video helped me figure out which items to sell.
It’s relieving to see how much content I can make goals for. I’m getting into mid game now and I can now see that the gap from early to mid game is a lot smaller than the gap from mid game to late game :-)
This is a great guide! Love how long you kept the torso, I see too many people spend for the BCP when they have other, better upgradse to make.
The one thing I strongly disagree with is the Archer's Ring. Extremely marginal DPS increase for its price point, especially because with that 4m left over you wouldn't have gone over budget at future tiers. I have a 1.7b bank and for ranged I'll use Suffering, Lightbearer, or sometimes Ring of the Gods.
I will concede my stance on the Archer's Ring, perhaps I did value it too highly. Thank you though, I appreciate it
Lucky me subscribing a day or two ago. cool channel
I missed you so much
I shoulda bought Rigour before the TOA update when it was like 12m smh 🤦🏻♂️ still kicking myself for it months later… told myself it was gonna keep dropping because I figured most people already had it by now so the demand was < supply therefore it wouldn’t go back up and boy was I wrong. Now I’m saying I’ll buy it if it ever hits 25m. Might cave at like 27m tho. It’s gonna be years before it hits 12m again (if it ever even does) I’m tired of using eagle eye on my max combat main. With a 2150 total level I’m embarrassed not having rigour
that IS embarassing LMFAO
My brother, I implore you, save up for Rigour rn
The sooner you buy rigour the faster you make back the money with the increased dps
Just buy it friend, it makes such a difference. You can make 32m quickly.
Awesome video. Love your commentary too. So good!
Light bearer at skilling bosses and just for skilling in general is absolutely amazing and help build gp slightly, I'd say getting that early is a huge win(around 20-25m). I mean using it for literally any skill that has a dragon weapon to boost you can be amazing and usually I'm still on my last boosted level before I get another charge so if I'm 74 wc, I can cut magics for as long as I want until 75 but also that little bit of gp goes a long way over the course of the game. It is also amazing for slayer with sgs as you state, one of my favorite combos, but really just an amazing buy for a utility ring.
Nice video man! It’s weird seeing clips of the squad in the background 😂
The squad is what makes the video *sparkle*
Excellent guide, I actually in the same path as your video!
Quality video, liked and subbed. surprisingly I’ve stuck pretty close to this on my own. Quick back story, stopped playin right after I bought dwh for 50m cam back and it was 25m. It was most of my cash stack so I quit again. Now I’m cuttin my losses got 27m. Thinking about buying the fang. Selling whip/dagger and smoke to ubrape ahrims and trident. Really I’m just skipping the anguish for the fang given how cheap it is. Just a mobile player with farming money who does a lot of slayer and afk shit lol.
Personally, Lightbearer is a must have for anyone with 50m or more. Not having it over ahrims or karils seems pointless to me if you have a singularly decent spec weapon.
It really depends on what spec weapon you have, and what boss or bosses you plan on grinding out. I think it's a great item but in the context of this guide I waited to make a purchase on it.
@@TryHardCasual I mean its got great synergy with the blowpipe as it is. Its worth the same as the other two rings combined and offers way more value over them and certainly karils/ahrims. Not to mention that sgs is way too high on the list considering it hinders purchasing full crystal for an extremely niche weapon that offers no value outside of inferno (too poor for eldritch) if you have guthans. But hey that's just my take. Appreciate the reply.
I appreciate the civil, non-toxic reply about differing opinions :)
I've never used full guthans in any of my accounts
Couple niche cases are hard to pass on, due to their specific bonuses enable some of the most effective methods to variety of content, such as dragon hunter weapons. I've bought crossbow just to use against Vorkath and having trouble selling it, since it enables me to farm Vorkath, Brutal Black Dragons, Hydra etc. I've been jumping back and forth between Lance (+ BGS) and Crossbow, but can't get myself to pass them in trade for other upgrades such as Rigor scroll (that goes for 30+ mil atm).
You definitely want to get that rigor scroll. I remember how I was kicking myself for getting it but it is worth it.
Yeah man definitely pick up the rigour, it's huge for bossing and if u already like to farm vorkath it will just make it even more faster. It might hurt a bit to see ur cash stack go but you will make it back in no time and now you permanently have rigour unlocked.
I am not denying that rigor is great. But what i am saying is that i have 60 mil weapon that enables me to farm Vorkath efficiently, which in turns helps me farm GP to get Rigor.
Selling Crossbow in trade of Rigor will take that away, even tho Rigor is overall much better upgrade. But muh 1:40 Vorkath kills tho.
(Also i actually traded my Dragon hunter weapon for a Fang atm, because i've been doing a lot of Slayer and getting my strength up)
@@doremiancleff1508 1:40 is slow
I bought rigour for 20m lmao
Awesome guide. I was looking for something like this since I just hoard all my money instead of using it on good gear.
Thanks again for this awesome video!!
Fang is 23 mil these days :O returning to this video again after progressing my account a bit
its funny how u go from 1 mil for 3 combat style based setups to buying a blowpipe for 3 mil
for new players its impossible to keep up with all the new armors after dragon and the billions of teleport items and enchants, not to mention the money you need to just play the game
Been following this guide for months, at the 500m mark now starting to save up for Crystal :D. Just curious, now with the Virtus robe set out around where might have you slotted that into this guide (Assuming its not just another honorable mention)
I have been out of the OSRS grind for a little bit now, I'm just now starting to come back from being burnt. My opinion might be off because of that BUT I think they can be good in the right circumstance.
They give Magic Strength, which makes them better than Ahrim's instantly, it's just not a lot of Magic Strength (unless you're using Ancient Spells, which boosts the total set bonus from 3% to 12%). An unfortified Elidinis Ward would give the same Magic Strength bonus as the entire set and it costs ~100m less. For something like Bursting you get a lot more value out of them from the boosted Magic Strength amount.
While they are good, I think the price is high for what you get out of them. I really like having a magic set in between Ancestral and Ahrims though and I think they're in a nice spot for the game. I could see a case being made to buy them somewhere between 500m-1b, just depends on how much Magic Bossing or Bursting you plan on doing to get your value out of them.
Im sorry but this is one of the most well made tutorials ive ever seen!
Boys with that lovely left over cash treat yourself to an ancient mace it’s only 2k and gives you prayer points back with its spec so it’s great on tasks or for over restoring prayer for bosses ;)
nice video my guy, subbed :)
Hey dude great video, clear with good editing. This channel will grow quickly with videos like this. +1 sub
All the Nintendo game songs was a great topper.
I wasn't even planning on it but my nostalgia for Nintendo music got the better of me lol
@@TryHardCasual I aint complaining it is great, part of the reason i got back into osrs the nostalgia, the grind :D
this gave me some motivation to keep grinding for new gear, great video!
The guide I was looking for. Def rushing crystal soon
Great vid.. waiting that long to buy a cannon is absolutely wild tho LOL
I bought a cannon really early for slayer :)
Me too i was surprised to see it so late
A Cannon can for sure be picked up sooner than when I put it. I did mention it as an option with some of the money I leftover in previous Tiers. I put it at 150m because in the context of this guide I felt as thought it can wait, I viewed it more as a luxury item, not a necessary one.
@@TryHardCasual Makes sense to me. I do encourage people to not be afraid to invest in it early, same rationale as buying things like chinchompas to power train ranging. Investing in your own levels is good too and it's really fun to use :) at least imo
@@TryHardCasual I started using a cannon with base 60s LOL but I skilled a lot on chins, blast furnance, etc. cannon is breakeven at a lot of tasks
Solid guide, however one thing people tend to sleep on however is how much difference higher combat stats actually make in term of dps. a 50m investment in some chins and burst runes will tend to generate allot more flat dps value then any gear setup would.
The biggest struggle with that is finding a world that isn't being botted at a bursting spot. The only time I ever get a chance to burst/chin is when I happen to come across someone who's actually leaving the spot to go bank and I have to hijack it.
This
99 Mage + ahrims + trident is more dps than 90 Mage + ancestral + sang
Going from 90 range to 99 was definitely worth it for me and was only 20 mil
This video isn’t about stats, it’s about gear.
@@jbohh bet ur fun at parties
That’s nice information, didn’t know that, I’ll stop gear at like 100m and going for stats
Abyssal whip is OP !!
Super solid progression. I would have really liked to see some mention of when dumping for a rebuild is valid, what rebuilds are worth it, and how you'd go about it for each respective rebuild. I've personally found a ton of fun in the tbow rebuild after dumping my bank for it when it was a little over 950m but I'm not certain how viable a shadow or scythe rebuild actually are, and I've even seen some people in my CC do a bowfa / crystal rebuild focusing heavily on Zulrah / GWD
I thought about adding a rebuild section to the video but I also felt the video was long enough as it was, and it keeps things more straightforward without mentioning it. I personally don't like doing rebuilds because it locks you to specific content and it's easier to potentially lose money to the market value of your specific gear dropping. However, I know a lot of people like rebuilds and they can be considered "more efficient" in the long run for gp, as you can run specific content with BiS gear.
I think the Tbow is the most common rebuild people go for, I can also see a good argument for a Bowfa one as you're saying. Scythe is a little harder to justify, you have less content reach with it and your supply cost is a lot higher. I'm not as familiar with a Shadow rebuild but there is certainly possibility with it.
Thank you btw :)
I wouldn't do a Bowfa rebuild personally since it's just so cheap in the first place you probably won't have the 99 ranged you should to support it.
I definitely think the Fang could fit in the 100m upgrade category and replacing the BGS/zammy spear. It's an incredibly strong general purpose weapon that, as you've already mentioned in the comments as well, can be used during many slayer tasks as well. The only tasks it performs notably worse than the whip on is where you have more than 88%~ accuracy on the mob. Which is mainly stuff like bloodvelds and greater demons. But even on mobs like gargoyles/nechs it performs better than the whip does and on virtually any boss or mini-boss-esque slayer task, it performs notably better than the whip. It's definitely going to be my next upgrade at least!
Edit: If not planning on bossing I'd personally also throw out the guthans set. For slayer it's a noob trap since the time spent DPSing unoptimally trying to regen HP with its set effect could've been spent just TPing to a bank real quick and restocking.
Yeah when I started getting my numbers for everything the Fang was over ~20m more than it costs right now, I would possibly consider skipping a Zammy Hasta and putting it a tier sooner with the price of it being so low.
I get what you’re saying but Guthans is not a noob trap a lot of slayer tasks aren’t easy to get to it saves a lot of time and money on prayer pots or super restores
@@jordobangs6930 Then you don't know what I'm saying :P - the point is that the time spent healing up could've been spent DPSing optimally and the time saved could've been used simply restocking at a bank instead.
At the majority of slayer tasks it might take you a minute or so to restock 20+ pieces of food. In that minute you can do 20 guthan spear hits, on average 5 of them healing you for lets say 20 on average. So instead of spending a minute healing 100 HP, you could instead spend that minute getting 400 HP worth of food., assuming you're using Sharks.
Even if it takes you 2 minutes to restock, that's 200 HP worth of food. Even if it takes you 4 minutes, at that point you're breaking even on time spent.
@@QPoily ya but instead of the food I just bring super restores and a Guthan a set I have 90 strength and attack i put on strength and attack prayers and im full health in 15 secs and I never have to leave the slayer task plus if im watching a movie I can just fully afk with guthans is really the point of it but not leaving a task and bringing extra prayer/restores is faster then leaving I haven’t carried food in a long time
@@QPoily I got the fang and Bandos but I also carry a guthans set with super combat pots im full health in literally 15 secs then I can keep a strength pray up and use the extra restores to pray the whole task or even just keep protection prayers on
Hell yeah!! Love the vids
After I learned toa I got into it and got my first purple (fang) at 8kc with a death. So I kept grinding for my second purple, and on 69kc I got the other weapon drop :)
Barrows gloves take long as HELL to get...definitely need to take that into account
Adamant Gloves and above are a straight upgrade over the combat bracelet so it's still always worth doing as much of Recipe for Disaster as possible.
the king returns :D welcome back to the land of youtubers brother
Ty!
Always prioritise weapons & levels.
Except a b ring, occult & barrows you’ll benifit way more from weapons and combat stats
This is great, thanks.
Obsidian Legs > Dragon legs at the 10m mark IMO as you get a max hit with whip
You do not always get a Max hit when using Obby Legs. It depends on your level, if you're using Piety, if you have boosts, and the rest of the gear you have on, a change in any of those could make it different.
nm staff (no orb) is really good for the price; basically a budget kodai.
Sadly, we stopped the guide at 1b when several of the big ticket setups are over that :D
Once you're at the 1B setup it's basically just BIS upgrades until the T-bow rebuild, there's not enough nuance other than that you should skip Armadyl and go straight to Masori, and Pegasians are a low priority upgrade.
You gained my sub when you said "Oh fuck, there it is again... AHHH"
10:36 That's not how the word Neitiznot is pronounced, fella. They let you know how to say it during the quest, when two of the npc's are arguing one of them tells the other one "ja tiz so" and the other responds with "nay tiz not"; that is how it should be pronounced, not "nee its not". Both towns are a play on words: "Nay, 'tis not", whilst Jatizso is a word play for "Ya, 'tis so". Just a friendly heads up.
the new bow that bounces, cannon, black d hide, and shit town of connobals
I see Try Hard Video, I click. Simple As.
This person going to comment the same thing every video
@@dandelions907 and I will love him for it
That
Nice man, cheers.
Your guide vibe is always on point man
Lmao loved the Smite Tyr
I'm glad someone got the reference!
How are you getting the crystal set for only 200m or less for the entire set?
I just looked it up. Wow it dropped so much...
got my bowfa for 118m
obsidian platelegs have strength bonus over dragon legs
The +1 Strength bonus very often doesn't increase your max hit, I value other platelegs over it that have a higher defense or prayer bonus. Still, I could see a case being made for them, I just felt as though it wasn't worth it, since I was thinking about every combat style when allocating the gp.
I think the ACB can honestly make a case to be on this list now with how good it is at Muspah.
Lmao
archers ring is terrible, would not recommend ever buying it. under any circumstance. Also str ammy for your melee setup until you can afford torture. Glory is a noob trap. Fury is only really an upgrade when you fight higher defense monsters, which you aren't going to be doing.
great video. think the 750m/1b setup coulda been tweaked a lot though
Holy cow Runescape is expensive. The gear upgrades don't even look that crazy (no Scythe, no Twisted Bow, no Masori, no Kodai, no Ancestral, not even wildy weapons) and we are still sligtly over budget.
Yeah... I'mma shutup about my ironman grind. The fact that I have any equipment at all sounds miraculous in comparison. Liquidating my whole bank and resources tab wouldn't get me nearly as far as I imagined, wow.
Great vid!
Damn i don't need this at all but i enjoyed the entire video
You honor me, Mr. Alonescape.
Can you make a raids guide maybe one for each raid up to 2b or one general guide. Can include hypothetical tbow and scythe rebuild and then repeat gear progression. I guess it's already been done but you could work it into a video cuz I've never seen that, you know the old cox progression setup,don't think there's one for tob or toa though. That would be good and helpful content generally.
I'm not sure I have the experience to make a Guide on Raid Rebuilds and such, plus I've never had a 2B bank hah. I'm probably most familiar with ToA but even still I'm sure there are people way more qualified than myself to speak on the matter. Some people had issue with picks in this general gear progression guide, I can only imagine the flaws they would find in a Raid specific one lol.
@@TryHardCasual if you want to make the video I can provide information about cox gear progression, I have over 3,000 cox and my old raid leader before he was banned had over 13,000
The thing that surprised me the most here is how long you kept smoke staff over trident and the lack of occult necklace, it's 600k for BiS.
I put the Occult right in the second Tier, even at 600k it's too much to include at 1m. With the Trident Vs. Smoke Staff, I just made an assumption that most people aren't going to have 85+ Magic at lower Bank Values. The Smoke Staff/Tome is going to be better than a Trident until around that Magic level.
As a new player to osrs I absolutely loved this! Going to help me alot, but I’m struggling to find a good video on what quests to do from start to mid game to end game, that’s the only thing in osrs that I feel super overwhelmed with is what quests do to in order to benefit me the most? Anyone can help me please?
The Wiki actually has an "optimal quest order" that some people like to follow: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Optimal_quest_guide
You don't have to follow everything from it perfectly but it's a pretty decent way to see what your options are. I personally really liked completing quests that gave me a gear reward: RFD, DS2, Mage Arena.. Honestly though, almost every quest is good to complete, most of them advance your account in one way or another, I wouldn't stress too much about it. Maybe read the optimal quest list, see what looks interesting to you, and aim for those one.
@@TryHardCasual oh! Thank you so much 😊 I’ll have a look at that! And continue my osrs grind life hehe!
Welcome back!
fangs a grab now! 40m
The bit I most disagree is the 750m one, I don't own a DHL, Fang is just almost as good to better at dragons and avernic is a huge investment that you cannot sell back, I would wait till post a big rebuild to get an avernic.
Avernic is the next rigour, sure u can't sell it back and that scares alot of newcomers but trust me, u won't regret buying it if u plan on raiding or group bossing. It provides a nice accuracy boost when paired with DWH and as mentioned in the video def draining specs are insanely valuble and with lance this let's u start efficiently grinding Cox or with a tent whip TOB, there is a reason both these upgrades hold high value. I would even put it in the 500m tier if u want to rush raiding tbh
@@WestonAdam72 I have an avernic and have had one for years, it's one of the very last things one should purchase on an account, comparing it to rigour is asinine, I would get at least a tbow before even considering an avernic.
@VegaMK2 I guess to each their own, Don't get me wrong, tbow is amazing and I loved my rebuild but not everyone wants to do a tbow rebuild. Alot of my friends chose to stick with crystal+bofa/lance/dwh to grind raids to eventually afford the tbow and as I said the avernic is really nice in both raids. As for me comparing it to rigour it's just cause they are the 2 big untradable unlocks for an acc. It all really comes down to content u do tho, like if ur gonna grind tob ur way better off with a scythe/sang/avernic/dwh/blowpipe setup then just a tbow, but if ur going to rebuild at nex obviously an avernic won't be of much use there and a tbow will pop off even in void/dhide.
God dhide also has better def stats vs black dhide.
Then when you can afford a twisted bow, sell everything and start over with glory and black dhide, super fun.
And also act like you're a New York businessman who's late to a meeting because every Tom Dick and Harry lurer, scammer, and con artist is gonna be drooling over it. Once you're rich like that there's no more fooling around, don't even touch a PvP world.
yep, hide all pvp worlds so you cant click them@@Corzappy
Date: Jan 28, 2023. Fang was 64m. 5 months later it's less than half that. Wild.
i always feel ashamed how much trouble i went thru to get fighter torso. now it rots in the bank while i wear its 30m older brother
bro sell the BCP if that 30m gets you a better upgrade. imo BCP is only worth as a last upgrade like prims
Great video
If you are high combat stats and don't have a lot of gold, grind corrupted gauntlet with 0 cash. I got 2 bowfa and now i'm on a cash roll (venenatis voidwaker x2 etc...) because of this boom.
if you dont have high combat stats, do LMS
The leaf-bladed baxe didn't get a mention? It's ~60k for a 65 attack crush weapon.
left osrs for a while and my dpick and sgs dropped so much
Would have chosen the suffering earlier personally! Most mid-level players early experience bossing would be zulrah so it'd be a worthy upgrade
True, very underrated item. In a lot of scenarios it gives u more dps than imbued dk rings if u have it loaded up with recoils.
I had no idea the smoke battlestaff has 10% damage bonus on it! I thought it was just like the other combination staves. I feel like a nub
Tread carefully as prices are fluctuating like crazy right now.
Be awesome if you could do this right up to 10b :)
Tassets before faceguard was a huge head scratcher. Why on earth would you spend the money on a +1 str bonus when you could get +3 and have some gp left over? No amount of defensive stats makes tassets the better choice there.
Just to clarify something first: we only had Dragonlegs in the video and upgraded to Tassets, so it would be a +2 strength bonus.
The main reason though, is that I had us pick up a Serp Helm earlier. It's obviously best used at a Boss where you want to avoid poison/venom, but it gives a +5 Strength Bonus and you can still take it on any Melee Boss over a Helm of Neitiznot (yes a Serp Helm requires charges which is a downside to it). BUT If we look at it this way, the Faceguard Upgrade would only gives us a +1 Strength Bonus for about the same price as Tassets. Also a lesser reason is that the Faceguard has a quest requirement and the Tassets do not, typically that doesn't really matter but it ever so slightly made me value the Tassets more.
After this cerb task ill be sellin my spect to get imbued heart tbh
Don't primordials also give you attack bonus? Not just the +1 strength
Yeah, it's very minimal though, like a +2 bonus
@@TryHardCasual yeah looks like it's a +2 attack bonus, +1 strength bonus and +5 to all defense bonus. It's pretty minimal
I had a sanguine staff and avernic before I got primordial boots. They're honestly just a "flex" thing I feel
Solid! ❤
I wish ppl would look at oby legs more often for cheap mele.
Only -1 str compated to tasis.
Great wid tho.
The +1 Strength bonus very often doesn't increase your max hit, I value other platelegs over it that have a higher defense or prayer bonus. Still, I could see a case being made for them, I just felt as though it wasn't worth it, since I was thinking about every combat style when allocating the gp.
Thank you tho
fang over rapier, I have armadyl as ranged gear ( i have void aswell) justicar and bandos as meelee, and ahrims as magic, i think its hard to understand what would be best in slot, this guide helped me, but im still not sure if im doing the right thing
Elite void mage surpasses ahrim im accuracy and damage if you have really good gear, only when you add a tormented bracelet that ahrim catches up.
