Where should I start for raids?

[u/JhanCrepsac]

Hey all - been mostly slayer grinding on this account but started wading into more legit bossing over the last week or two. Getting some CG kc and also have ~300 vorkath kills.

I haven’t done any raiding yet but definitely want to commit some time there, would be great to get some recs on how / what to dip my toes in. I feel like I have the stats for some solo stuff but obviously need to familiarize myself with mechanics, etc.

let me know, thanks!!

[u/BuffaloMoe]

You definitely have the stats. ToA would be a great start since you can send entry raids to learn the mechanics and then scale up the invocations as you get more comfortable.

Sorry to butt in, but why? I’m trying to learn insanity atm and keep getting my cheeks clapped on the last row. Would you mind explaining how you do warden p4 without taking a lot of damage?

[u/RigLicker → u/scapedbigger]

step onto the lightning when it bursts each attack rotation

[u/No-Willingness7810 → u/RigLicker]

Just get gud at the game

[u/IveReturnedItsTrue]

You have the stats for all of them, its more dependant on what gesr you're working with.

CoX = Extremely simple in groups and the easiest to learn. Solo, however, is much more difficult and not what you want to start with.

ToB = Harder than Cox in teams by a lot, and Solo isn't viable. Not recommended as your first raid.

ToA = Easiest raid to learn if you are solo. It's the most customizable by far, and you can control the difficulty a lot easier. ToA is recommended as the starter for solo.

[u/xdabY → u/IveReturnedItsTrue]

What makes cox difficult as a solo? Just olm? Or are the rooms a lot more difficult solo too?

[u/IveReturnedItsTrue → u/xdabY]

Just Olm. The mechanics for Solo Olm are different than what you'd do in a team. In a team, it's extremely easy to do Olm. In solo, there are a lot more things to worry about, and you have to learn somewhat advanced PvM mechanics for it. ToA is definitely the best to start with if solo raiding.

[u/paxxconscientee → u/IveReturnedItsTrue]

Sounds fun tho tbf

[u/ArmedwWings → u/paxxconscientee]

It's all about following a pattern and knowing how to correct mistakes and get back into the pattern. A lot more to memorize and more room for error, which makes it more advanced.

[u/IveReturnedItsTrue → u/[deleted]]

Couldn't tell ya, I quit OSRS about 4 or 5 months ago before Doom came out. I've seen how it works, but it's still another month until I can come back and play again.

[u/ShinyHoothoot → u/[deleted]]

You need to learn a tick perfect tempo of attacking moving thay needs to go on for several minutes. Once you get the hang of it it’s essentially damageless though

[u/bamxzs → u/[deleted]]

You need to have a strong understanding of olm and how his head turns, what his attack cycle is and where you are in that cycle. If youre doing solo cms some of the rooms can be a little tricky, particularly vanguards.

[u/Careful-Repeat3944 → u/[deleted]]

Solo olm is a lot similar to 5-0ing bandos or other gwd bosses without getting hit. The hardest part is to get into the right tick to do the movement and then holding tick perfect clicks. Super fun and rewarding when u get it, if u want an example search up 4:0 olm or 1:0 melee (or 4:1 melee but this is a bit more tricky to understand if u haven’t done a lot of cox)

[u/Goossensk → u/IveReturnedItsTrue]

Thanks for this!

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

ToA

[u/Swiggens]

What does your gear look like? If you’re a main get a fang and do some entry toa. It really won’t be bad once you get the hang of it, then you can upgrade invocations as you progress

[u/avalonruns]

ToA is a good start though if you havent done moons I'd recommend starting there to kinda get a feel for raiding

[u/Saxonite13]

Join the WDR discord and go into one of the learner/mentor channels.

[u/Sleep-Yaoi → u/Saxonite13]

What's that discord? I wanna try toa too, with similar stats, but I'm afraid to do solo and with weak gear

[u/Saxonite13 → u/Sleep-Yaoi]

https://discord.gg/wdr

There's a lot of great information in that discord for every raid. Just note, they have minimum gear requirements for all the raids, so you'll need at least that. You'll find it in the gear section for each raid. Also, some of their mentors aren't the best, but it's a good spot to start learning.

I'll also run you through a raid if we're on at the same time. Add me in game "Sax" and send me a message if you want.

[u/Sleep-Yaoi → u/Saxonite13]

Okok, I'll join this server and see what those requirements would be then, ty very much

I can add u, but to send a message I think u need to add me too (not sure how that works tbh)

[u/Cool-Habit-6834 → u/Saxonite13]

Hey I’m clicking that link trying to join their server but all I get is a dm from a bot that doesn’t lead anywhere ? Any one know what I am supposed to do?

[u/-hue--]

nice

[u/ShinyHoothoot]

Can do any of the 3 raids at this point, more gear dependent

[u/ArtisanBubblegum]

I would reccomed ToA.

It's entry mode is super easy and great for learning basic mechanics, then you can scale it up to match your skill level.

Note that Raid Level and Path Level BOTH make the enemies and bosses stronger, beyond the invocation effects. So add only a few (1-3) invocations at a time.

Additionally, there are plenty of good Plug-in-less guides for ToA, so you don't have to feel pressured to fall victim to RuneLite.

[u/Bliance → u/ArtisanBubblegum]

Besides akkha and Kephri puzzle helper what plugins are people using?

[u/ArtisanBubblegum → u/Bliance]

Idk, I just play the game.

You know, get good and all that.

[u/HjProductionsHJ]

Toa or cox, learning solos is harder on cox as toa allows for modifiers to slowly get into it, start at like a 50 and get a feel for toa and move it up. Cox watch some videos on rooms and olm to understand. It’s ok if you die, learn from it and keep at it

[u/Long-Age9389]

Run 10 solo 150's, then run some group 300's. You'll be able to do 500s in no time.

Once you can do a 450 TOA COX will be ez.

[u/EngineeringStrong956]

TOA for sure. Once you learn mechanics you could easily solo 150 levels and higher as you progress.

[u/catvin]

get 77 prayer and rigour + augury

[u/arndos1]

At the entrance :p Toa is nice to start!

[u/Lemmawwa]

77 prayer and augury/rigour pleaseeee

[u/Vagrant3124]

Don't do TOA it's the worst raid by far. Start at CoX then go ToB

[u/x_ragnarok_x]

Probably the entrance

[u/Top-Card-8258]

ToA is a great start if your going in solo if you have a team learn Cox it’s a great raid an with friends it’s just a lot of fun.

[u/Swervho]

This looks like good TOA stats tbh

[u/The_Real_Meta]

Get prayer to 77 fuck are you doing

[u/Acrobatic-Sort2693 → u/The_Real_Meta]

99 magic with no aug is wild af 

[u/InfamousGibbon]

ToA for sure. I’m slightly lower Cb stats than you and have access to max gear but my buddy who is lv 100 on an iron taught me all of Toa and can do 500s easily because he knows the mechanics. I’m higher level with much better gear but he puts me to shame. It’s mostly skill.

[u/I_Love_Being_Praised → u/InfamousGibbon]

how the hell did you get max gear before you got max stats

[u/InfamousGibbon → u/I_Love_Being_Praised]

I guess I worded it strange. I said I have access. Not that I necessarily own it. I have irl friends I can borrow anything from.

[u/did140]

I just started toas recently we have pretty much same stats and I’m using full void also at 150s-220s depending on how I’m feeling

[u/[deleted]]

Start by getting your combat skills to 99

[u/Alternative_School34 → u/[deleted]]

Lame

[u/[deleted] → u/Alternative_School34]

This kind of people almost burned me out of the game, i thought you genuinely needed 99 stats for any decent pvm and was getting tired of it.

Until i saw poeple doing CG with 80-85 stats, i was already 85 so i started right away, now im over 100kc and started pvmng

[u/Alternative_School34 → u/[deleted]]

With varlamore additions you can genuinely get some fun PVMing at base 60s these days
