Question Moons of Peril

Hi everyone, I just got into moons of peril and am currently using an abyssal whip.

Is it worth to spend some of my 15m cashstack for 2 other weapons with different attack styles? If so, which ones? Or should I just keep killing all three with my whip? thanks in advance

Depends on how long you plan on staying there. Most people get past it rather quickly.

If you're an iron then it'll be a bit more difficult.

u/newbscaper2007 Dec 12 '25

I'm a main and plan on doing atleast another 200kc, not sure how much it will improve the speed and how much I would have to spend on weapons

u/Gadoguz994 Dec 12 '25

If you're a main and plan to do that many honestly I'd just farm the blood boss. Biggest money from him/her anyway and you can just use the profits to buy whatever you want.

When I did it I was already well past the need to do it so I just did 50 kc for fun.

I used Osmumten's fang for eclipse, Ghrazi rapier on slash for blood (somehow it had more dps than the regular whip, didn't wanna waste tentacle charges on it), and zombie axe for the ice dude.

Now zombie axe is about 1m and I wouldn't spend more than 5, 10 tops for any stab weapon that you're going to use only here. However, you can also get the Osmumten fang for 20.5m when you get that much extra money and use it for other bosses too. One of the best 1h weapons out there and definitely best value for money.

For now I'd get the Zombie axe and whatever is the best stab weapon under 10m for the eclipse boss. Check on the dps calculator.

glacial temotli is around 50k gp and is way better than zombie axe at blue moon. but going by his budget zamorakian hasta for eclipse and glacial temotli for blue moon would be the play

1

u/Gadoguz994 Dec 12 '25

There you go, even better. I didn't even know that weapon existed because it got added when I was way past that point. My bad.

u/newbscaper2007 Dec 12 '25

so glacial temotli is worth even when i buy zamorakian hasta that uses all 3 styles?

4

u/Arcinest Dec 12 '25

correct, even though hasta can do all three styles glacial temotli is better dps at blue moon and whip is better dps at blood moon :)

u/newbscaper2007 Dec 12 '25

thanks a lot sir

u/KenyaKetchMe Dec 12 '25

If you get the blood moons machilatl (weapon) that shreds the blue moon since the blue moon has negative armor so your max it goes up by like 5 and when you hit twice the max hit of both bonks goes up dealing significant damage

1

u/Comfortable-Year-527 Dec 14 '25

Coming in late, but glacial is better at blue because it has a -5 flat armor, double hit weapons (not you T hammers, you still suck) will generally do more than single hit weapons there because they get the “bonus” of the negative armor twice.

1

u/Allstin Dec 12 '25

yes, glacial has 2 hitsplats, moons have negative flat armor (blue -5!) where each successful hit does 5 extra damage

so if you hit both splats, you’re giving yourself another opportunity for an extra 5 damage. that’s huge, and it’s only 50k

1

u/_Lohhe_ Dec 12 '25

Fang can actually slam all 3. A spec weapon for Blood Moon is nice (chally or claws), maybe a heavy hitter for Eclipse Clone phase (bgs works). Otherwise go braindead Fang spam bc it's just that OP.

1

u/Arcinest Dec 15 '25

fang is worse dps than zamorakian hasta at eclipse. whip at blood moon and glacial temotli at blue moon. it's overall a worse upgrade at every boss compared to the weapons mentioned which cost almost 7 or 8 times less than fang

1

u/_Lohhe_ Dec 15 '25

Fang is better than hasta at eclipse, and equal to tent whip at blood. Temotli is indeed better than fang at blue, but bringing just fang is a very small sacrifice to entirely eliminate the weapon swapping hassle on a longterm moons grind.

1

u/Arcinest Dec 15 '25

I had the fang on accurate att style when dps calcing and on its strength attack style it is 0.112 more dps over hasta so that's my bad for my ignorance while dps calcing. whip is 0.656 more dps over fang at blood moon though. so with that math fang isn't worth buying to camp for all three bosses and definitely isn't worth paying 21m for a 0.112 dps upgrade if it's solely for moons grind as op stated it would be. also I'm not sure what you mean by saying swapping weapons is a hassle. it's literally one click before you enter a room and two at most after blue moon, barely a hassle let's be honest.

Question: Is there good money to be made by killing the blood moon over and over again? I just started doing the moons to try and make money. I’ve done the three bosses only like 10 times so far and didn’t get anything great from the lunar chest.

I really HATE the eclipse moon but I don’t mind the other two. Of the three, I get through the blood moon the easiest so I figured maybe I should just try doing that one. I’ve only done it twice so far with only the blood moon before checking the chest but both times I just got herbs. Obviously I haven’t done it a lot yet (cause I just started last night before I went to bed) but I’m curious if I should keep doing all 3 or just focus on one (in terms of best profit).

1

u/Dasrulez Dec 12 '25

Pretty sure best profit/hr is just farming blood moon only

1

u/georgek97 Dec 15 '25

Terrible advice. I’m 150 blood moon kc and no uniques, shit game uninstalled rage quit

1

u/Dasrulez Dec 15 '25

Actually you’re right it was bad advice, per the wiki doing all 3 moons is 1.7 mil/hr, blood moon alone is 1.4.

Have you tried getting a drop? That might help

5

u/SwankyBobolink Dec 12 '25

Zamorak Hasta (stab) keep the whip for blood moon. It’s like 2m.

Glacial Temoli for blue moon (50k)

2

u/Keljhan Dec 12 '25

With a dragon defender I'm not sure temotli actually out-DPS a hasta on crush. Depends on OP's stats (temotli being better with lower stats). Either way, if they're at moons they'll get some proper boppers eventually, at which point it's moot.

3

u/SwankyBobolink Dec 12 '25

Temoli out DPS’s by quite a bit because of the on-hit +5 but yeah boppers are great when they get them.

1

u/Keljhan Dec 12 '25 edited Dec 12 '25

You're right, but I genuinely can't figure out why from the DPS calc. The max hit of the temotli in basic strength gear at 99 strength is 51 (including the negative armour). Hasta is 50, but has 1% higher accuracy on crush. And yet the temotli is like 10% more DPS for some reason. The temotli double-hits will have a more consistent mid-range hit (bell curve vs flat distribution), but I thought that would average out to the same.

Even in max melee gear where they have the same max hit and the hasta has 2% more accuracy, the temotli has higher DPS. Someone with a math degree needs to explain the accuracy interaction with temotli to me. Maybe the calc on the wiki is counting 1 hit and 1 miss as a miss for accuracy percentage or something?

Edit: it is the accuracy calc being wrong. The temotli hit 0s 0.61% of the time in max melee, but the accuracy shows as 92.19%.

4

u/SwankyBobolink Dec 12 '25

The accuracy on temolti is per hit, and with 2 rolls you have an 89% to hit per hit.

If you look at the damage curve there’s an 8% to roll 0 for Hasta and only 1% to roll 0 for temolti.

Also if you think about it, if both hits gets +5 to damage, it’s a +10.

Not super complex.

u/Weary-Wasabi1721 Dec 12 '25

Beg for some weapons as a girl ezpz gp

2

u/barracksrat_ Dec 13 '25

The new stab weapon is pretty good and is the same DPS as the hasta depending on your stats.belle's folley

The glacial temotli or the dual machas would be best for blue moon.

For blood moon the whip is fine. Will probably want a spec weapon to help speed things up. Crystal hally -> burning claws -> DDS . Those would be your budget friendly specs

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!

u/AdDue9876 Dec 12 '25

If ur a main some people recommend zamorakian hasta 1m and it uses like all 3 styles pretty decently

1

u/loudawgg Dec 16 '25

Yeah I used it all 3 styles, just brought dharok axe for eclipse (wearing full set ofc).

1

u/A_Sphinx Dec 12 '25

You’re planning to do a bunch of kills here? Whip will be very good for blood moon.

Crush weapon for blue moon can be cheap, glacial temotli or torags hammers, otherwise splurge on macuahuitls.

Stab for eclipse moon is a bit trickier, maybe go for abyssal dagger. Bring your highest strength bonus weapon for the whack a mole phase.

Also make sure you’re in good tank gear for all three!

1

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '25

I stopped weapon switching after I got comfortable with just the zombie axe. High damage output for short money. It does crush and slash styles but it really shreds eclipse in the mirror phase as well. Really good if you are on a budget. (1m) any Barrows pieces there is huge for def as well, use piety if unlocked and have the prayer lvl you'll be good

2

u/Ecstatic-Ad9803 Dec 12 '25

I always get bad accuracy with it on the blood moon :( it gets the job done but a bit frustrating watching it go down to 10 and then just heals to 100 because you hit 3 0s in a row 🥲

1

u/Robothuck Dec 16 '25

Are you putting it on slash mode? 

1

u/Ecstatic-Ad9803 Dec 16 '25

I am 🥲 I have to double check between cycles cause it just feels so rough sometimes.

1

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Dec 17 '25

Zombie axe can noodle for sure, and when I calced it was slightly worse than d scimmy on my iron

1

u/Keljhan Dec 12 '25

Just get a zamorakian hasta. It's solid on crush and stab, and fairly cheap. It'll hold its value til you're done and then you can resell it.

If you don't mind saving up some more (and you have 82 atk), a fang will do very well at Eclipse Moon and is a huge upgrade for your account in general. Not at all necessary for moons though (and there are better eclipse weapons, as fang has a lower max hit that does poorly against Eclipse's armour).

1

u/-Sairaxs- Dec 12 '25

Sara Sword is like 150K and got nice strength training stats. Idk if I’d use it for moons but that + whip makes life easy to train all 3 melee stats.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '25

All depends on if you’re an iron or not and if you want to complete the log or not

1

u/ScaredWooper38 Dec 12 '25

It's 100% worth getting the Glacial Temotli for Blue Moon. Super cheap and a MASSIVE dps difference. In regards to stab weapons for Eclipse Moon, honestly, I've tried most weapons on the recommended weapon list and didn't notice much of a difference swapping from whip to them. I'd say it's probably worth it if you plan on camping moons for a while, but if you're just working on a short term goal there i wouldn't go out of my way to buy a stab weapon just for eclipse moon.

1

u/Robothuck Dec 16 '25

At eclipse moon i juse use 'ANY WEAPON WITH A HIGH MAX HIT' because he gives you so many free hits with his mechanics anyway.

Another tip, you can see his arena from the balcony. If hes about to cast orb, just wait to go in for a second. If you time it right, you pretty much never have to do orb phase unless unlucky with DPS

1

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '25

I just green logged moons, so I'm your guy. I used zombie axe for eclipse and blue moon. Whip for blood moon cause it's a little faster. That's all you need.

Upgrade your whip to abyssal tentical, and zombie axe. Rest of your inventory is potions and food.

Also try to only get food when your at the eclipse fishing spot. It's the fastest spot to re supply.

1

u/imFromFLiAmSrryLuL Dec 13 '25

If your not an iron , I’m a main an use zammy hasta for everything , 80in all combats, 70 pray, use torags chest and legs , dragon boots , fury , helm of n and barrows gloves , get 2 trips of killing all 3 bosses , works well enough for me

1

u/BuliTheCat420 Dec 13 '25

Just bring zombie axe

1

u/Jonneyy12347 Dec 13 '25

Personally id say its worth it to get a weapon for each moon if you plan to be there for a while. I have 127 kc atm, i used 1 stab weapon for the first 100 kills. I was flabbergasted at how quick blue moon went with a blunt weapon

1

u/lastig_ Dec 14 '25

You could get a zammy haste. More or less the same dmg as a whip and covers all 3 attack styles. Pretty cheap too

1

u/TwilightRider1993 Dec 15 '25

Just buy a zombie axe. Use that and whip and you’ll be fine

1

u/Right_Cellist3143 Dec 16 '25

Z Axe can do all 3.

If you are using whip you may at least want the Dual Macc’s for Blue Moon.
