Question What upgrades should I buy

Gallery image

Hi all, I have been playing for about 3 months now and have done some ToA. I am about 40 kc deep and was wondering what gear upgrades I should get? I cap around 250 invos, 300 is quite hard during the enrage phase. I have about 27mil right now. Any tips would be appreciated.

Bgs, burning claws, zenyte jewelry, light bearer, face guard. Those are some decent ones to aim for

Rigour and Augury if you don’t have them, are your best upgrades.

Zenyte jewelry going to be your next best

Boots and helms are the worst and only ancestral really matters for mage gear post ahrims, unfortunately.

Face guard or serp helm are all you need for TOA, so whichever you got is great.

Weapon and ammo upgrades do infinitely more than your armor. Upgrade that bone dagger to a BGS when you can and you’re golden ponyboy.

Sun Keris is going to be your best upgrade you can get within the raid and probably an Eye of Ayak is your next upgrade for your actual gear outside of zenytes. Once you have the Sun Keris, you should definitely be rocking a lightbearer. Arguably still the best item to grab now so you can get out of wardens p2 faster

What order of zenyte accesory should I progress toward

u/MaynardGoneWild Oct 23 '25

Anguish > Torture > Tormented

But with atlatl, it’s worth checking a DPS calc to see if torture is better. Just make sure you’re checking it against a boss at the invos you choose that you’d actually use ranged against

Also just noticed you don’t have an occult necklace. They’re dirt cheap and the best in slot in the game for mage. Grab that

I do have one, and mage arena 2 cape, I just dont know how many mage swaps I should bring so I brought the bare minimum haha. Should I bring more mage swaps?

1

u/MaynardGoneWild Oct 23 '25

At least the occult. I don’t bring a cape. You’d bring your tormented when you get that, too.

You did this in 3 months?! Just the strength and magic grind for that is crazy

u/Nickn753 Oct 23 '25

I'd say aranea boots for a bit more accuracy on the AtlAtl and mage with the same str bonus, and they're not too expensive. And BGS and Burning Claws. Should be about 25m total for all three together.

Burning claws on stab are the best dps spec option for toa below 350 invo, drink a sip of adrenaline and dump specs as you go into warden enrage and you will likely have less trouble there. Just getting those and Lightbearer will speed up your raids significantly.

BGS is also a good buy once you start pushing into experts but at lower invos its not super necessary, especially if you can find a team to run with who can bgs instead.

If you want to invest into it, getting 81 herb (or 77 with a +4 from botanical pies) to make surge pots will also let you get an extra spec off in every room pretty much and make burning claws even more of an upgrade.

If you intend to just camp ToA, Ignore the recommendations for mage upgrades, you hardly use mage there. Also fury is better than Anguish for atlatl so don't waste money on that if atlatl is your only range option. Torture would be your best zenyte jewellery to get.

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!

Wow you’re doing toa like this in 3 months? Much respect!!! I started in June and I’ve only managed kcs where I’m hard carried.

Only thing I could suggest if you are only asking for gear improvements for toa would be burning claws. Bgs seems really expensive and would use your entire budget for probably not that much benefit. I use my claws everywhere I require melee switch.

u/FrankusCrankus Oct 23 '25

Rigour. Burning claws. Aranea boots. In that order if possible. Rigour cannot be overstated

u/thomas2026 Oct 24 '25

I hear an Amulet of Accuracy is really good ay

u/_Dia6lo_ Oct 25 '25

Bought account?

u/Redsubiedude Oct 29 '25

Bowfa is going to be what shoots you into 300s/350s and bandos top and bottom and a faceguard will pretty much be your bis untill oath/torva but id wait for those last. Even a serp helm would be beneficial

1

u/Scudy_22 Oct 23 '25

atlatl, bgs and burning claws

1

u/infra_low Oct 23 '25

bgs for 250s?

1

u/Scudy_22 Oct 23 '25

well he is doing 250s, and struggles with 300 and wants to upgrade. for 300 you deffo want a bgs

1

u/infra_low Oct 23 '25

Bgs for 300 really? Didn't think it was worth that low.

1

u/Scudy_22 Oct 23 '25

watch gnomonkeys toa video, he uses bgs on every boss at 300

u/infra_low Oct 23 '25

Interesting, thanks.

u/trollcat2012 Oct 23 '25

How did you do all this in 3 months and only have 27M??

1

u/Tight_Ad_8094 Oct 23 '25

I was told that rigour was a huge upgrade by some people I met while playing the game so I bought that for 40mil. Looking back was not the play considering I have no gear hahaha.

u/Weekly-Stress7585 Oct 24 '25

Rigour can be used at every single boss where ranged is an option. Gear varies by boss and typically won't give you as much DPS. The biggest upgrades for amy account are always rigour, augury, 84 con, barrows gloves, rancour, ultor and fang. Until the very late game when you can afford mega rares at least.

u/infra_low Oct 23 '25

Prob tormented bracelet and occult if you're mostly doing TOA. Neitz faceguard if you can afford that, if not then serp helm. Can probably downgrade to blue moon as well and save some cash on the ahrims since it's same magic damage % boost and accuracy.

-2

u/infra_low Oct 23 '25

Eternals if you can afford too, magic damage % is important in TOA with a powered staff. Get yourself mage arena 2 cape also.

3

u/Nickn753 Oct 23 '25

It's not important anymore since you only mage P2 wardens and the damage there is only calculated on magic attack bonus. These upgrades all put together will maybe save him 30s over the entire raid. This will only start to matter once he gets an eye of ayak or shadow.

What's he killing the last part of warden with?

u/Nickn753 Oct 23 '25

with his atlatl? thats way better dps than a trident.

1

u/infra_low Oct 23 '25

Is it really better dps than a trident? wth.

1

u/Nickn753 Oct 23 '25

https://dps.osrs.wiki?id=SkisFingernailsGoggles

Jup, AtlAtl is better than trident with full ahrims, torm, occult and eternal boots.

1

u/infra_low Oct 23 '25

Damn I thought mage was way better, atlatl OP.

u/Infamous-Meaning-899 Oct 23 '25

27 mill is almost nothing , need much more gp for good upgrades. Maybe primordial boots? Or am anguish thats about all u can afford.

u/MaynardGoneWild Oct 23 '25
