I'm still here and ready to make some content again. Thank you for all the support in my absence :) Inferno Livestream: kzfaq.infoawDZWa6CIfM?si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE Discord: discord.gg/zUYxtwY

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This has been one of my favorite osrs guides ever honestly. Would you consider making an updated version with all the new gear etc?

you really put a lot of effort into this video and it shows. Great content!

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

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.

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.

This is a VERY solid gear progression video. Top notch.

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.

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.

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.

This is honestly an amazing video. Gonna use this for all my upgrades.. currently waiting on my fang to buy on the GE :D.

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 :-)

Glad to see another upload from this channel king

Thanks, I needed to sell gear to afford a dexterous prayer scroll and this video helped me figure out which items to sell.

Thank you for this needed a refresher since i went for the usual drop runescape and this helped me so much.

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.

Nice video man! It’s weird seeing clips of the squad in the background 😂

Watching as an ironman: Interesting, interesting

Awesome video. Love your commentary too. So good!

Lucky me subscribing a day or two ago. cool channel

I missed you so much

Awesome guide. I was looking for something like this since I just hoard all my money instead of using it on good gear.

Excellent guide, I actually in the same path as your video!

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

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

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).

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

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.

Great vid.. waiting that long to buy a cannon is absolutely wild tho LOL

Thanks again for this awesome video!!

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.

Im sorry but this is one of the most well made tutorials ive ever seen!

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.

this gave me some motivation to keep grinding for new gear, great video!

The guide I was looking for. Def rushing crystal soon

the king returns :D welcome back to the land of youtubers brother

Always prioritise weapons & levels. Except a b ring, occult & barrows you’ll benifit way more from weapons and combat stats

All the Nintendo game songs was a great topper.

Barrows gloves take long as HELL to get...definitely need to take that into account

Hey dude great video, clear with good editing. This channel will grow quickly with videos like this. +1 sub

Hell yeah!! Love the vids

Ty!

Fang is 23 mil these days :O returning to this video again after progressing my account a bit

Abyssal whip is OP !!

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)

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 ;)

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

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.

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 :)

Obsidian Legs > Dragon legs at the 10m mark IMO as you get a max hit with whip

nice video my guy, subbed :)

I've never used full guthans in any of my accounts

You gained my sub when you said "Oh fuck, there it is again... AHHH"

I see Try Hard Video, I click. Simple As.

Lmao loved the Smite Tyr

This is great, thanks.

Nice man, cheers.

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 bought a cannon really early for slayer :)

Your guide vibe is always on point man

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!

Welcome back!

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

obsidian platelegs have strength bonus over dragon legs

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

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.

Then when you can afford a twisted bow, sell everything and start over with glory and black dhide, super fun.

Would have chosen the suffering earlier personally! Most mid-level players early experience bossing would be zulrah so it'd be a worthy upgrade

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.

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...

Great video

Solid! ❤

Damn i don't need this at all but i enjoyed the entire video

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.

I think the ACB can honestly make a case to be on this list now with how good it is at Muspah.

The leaf-bladed baxe didn't get a mention? It's ~60k for a 65 attack crush weapon.

fangs a grab now! 40m

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I wish ppl would look at oby legs more often for cheap mele. Only -1 str compated to tasis. Great wid tho.

God dhide also has better def stats vs black dhide.

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 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 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

the new bow that bounces, cannon, black d hide, and shit town of connobals

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

left osrs for a while and my dpick and sgs dropped so much

Great video. Thanks a lot.

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

After this cerb task ill be sellin my spect to get imbued heart tbh

welcome back
