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

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

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

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

Also personally hyped for Varlamore!!

Cheers :-)

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

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

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

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

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