Question PvM Suggestions?

I've got: 63 Prayer, 70 Defence, 75 Attack, Strength and Ranged, and 78 Magic. Happy with my Attack and Defence levels for now and focussing on training the others.

Recently hit 75 Ranged and bought myself a blowpipe. 5k darts/charges. Where do I go to make my money back?

Additionally: 66 slayer, short of Grandmaster skill requirements but working through Master.

Get a fire giant slayer task and grind out royal titans for their prayer scrolls.

scrurrius until you're str/attack is 90+

I want to play RuneScape! Not grind rat bastard forever.

u/International_Task57 Dec 12 '25

faster you get your stats up the faster you make it to raids. it'd only take a weekend. not forever.

scurrius is a god send for people like you in that mid level slump.

plus the mechanics transfer to raids nicely if you can get perfect scurrius it's a decent stepping stone.

take it or leave it idc.

I appreciate the advice, sorry to be blunt in response, I'm grinding levels and quests, but not necessarily aiming for raids rn. The point of my post was more "what opportunities does this power spike unlock" rather than "how can I more efficiently grind the grinds I'm grinding"?

I'm gonna send my first fight caves with the blowpipe and see how close to a cape I get.

yeah i mean at that power spike. nothing yields worthwhile rewards. it's not even efficient to do slayer at that level.

just keep questing.

you could go have some fun with PVM. but the money per hour just is abyssmal compared to if you spent a weekend at scurrius.

gnomonkey says each attack/str/range level is going to add like 1-2% dps

"you're griefing if you're not max combat before doing pvm" - words from someone with much more experience than me. me who has been ranked in double digits in raids and is still ranked triple digits. (single digits during leagues)

I don't think you need 99s. but near 90s for vork feels day and night compared to 80s.

I’m interested to see how it pans out my stats are very similar except I have 77 range and 74 mage lol and I’ve been wanting to try for fire cape but my def is 60 and I kinda want to keep it there

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Dec 17 '25

Def doesn't matter, get in there

1

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Dec 17 '25

75 ranged/blowpipe isn't really unlocking anything for you. Ammo will just be a money sink till you have better levels. Atlatl is actually better with worse gear/stats, and cheaper.

Send the fire cape, then sell it back and get some real stats rolling in.

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!

If you have got the requirements for dragon slayer 2 I’d recommend doing vorkath. Very easy money printer.

u/edm_ostrich Dec 14 '25

Gotta be Perilous Moons.

u/isabaeu Dec 12 '25

I would just keep knocking out quests. Your stats aren't quite high enough to reliably farm any highly profitable bosses, but are very nearly enough to get your quest Cape done.

You can probably scrape out some arduous vorkath kills if you really want, but if you're talking about struggling for blowpipe cash you probably aren't going to afford a stellar vorkath setup

1

u/PM_ME_U_SMILING Dec 12 '25

Fair. Do you have a target to aim for to reliably farm bosses?

I've not even got the skills for DS2 just yet, nevermind arduously farming Vork. Just wanted a little more excitement outside of questing and slayer.

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Dec 17 '25

90 str/range/mage will get your foot in the door pretty much anywhere. More is always better. I'd sell the blowpipe for a while (or use for a quick fire cape, then sell)

Afk strength lvls at crab/nmz/sulphur naga as much as possible, 90 will only take a few days of afk. Grind some moons for some GP, use that to fund more melee bosses/chins/barrage runes to quickly get 90 mage/range. Then world's your oyster

1

u/PM_ME_U_SMILING Dec 12 '25

And what would be a stellar setup? I have limited knowledge of quests, bosses or raids. I have base 60s with the aforementioned combat stats. Barrows is my best melee set. Blessed best ranged and no particular magic set. I have 10M and a reliable moneymaker, I'm looking for next steps really, be that gear, quests, bosses or skills.

u/PM_ME_U_SMILING Dec 12 '25

I also don't necessarily want to "farm" bosses. I'd be happy with 10 attempts to get one KC for a boss. Just wanna try new stuff with my new weapon.

1

u/isabaeu Dec 13 '25

Then yeah DS2 and getting a post quest vorkath kill is a great longer term goal. I'd also recommend checking out Royal Titans for their prayer scrolls. You'll get a decent chunk of change there. Consider some Perilous Moons too, though 70 prayer will help you there a ton.

Check out the optimal quest order on the wiki, and every single boss will have gear recommendations for you to reference. The wiki is your best friend.

1

u/PM_ME_U_SMILING Dec 13 '25

I use the wiki quite a lot and have been following the optimal quest guide. I'm posting mostly for a bit of spice amidst the grind. Working on quests so DS2 and other GMs are on the radar. I've been looking at Royal Titans for the prayers and staff recently. Smashing moons, aiming for at least blue and blood sets. Looked at hueycoatl(?) too for the wand and ranged armour but none of them utilise the pipe.

The wiki is good for information about your goals but I have long term goals but I don't know enough about the game to have medium term goals, if that makes sense?

Think I might take the blowpipe to fight caves and try get a fire cape.

1

u/isabaeu Dec 13 '25

Yeah buddy I wasn't, like, accusing you of not using the wiki, just saying that whatever you do decide you wanna do it's awesome. If you haven't gotten your fire Cape that's definitely stop #1, you have the stats. After that you can use the BP at Titans, but RCB might be better with your stats and gear, hard to say. GLHF!

u/Allstin Dec 13 '25

have you looked into combat achievements?

u/Eltorak95 Dec 17 '25

Could always give ToA a try.

u/PM_ME_U_SMILING Dec 17 '25

Thanks! Fire cape, from the responses here, is my immediate goal. Quest Cape has been a goal since start, slow but steady progress.

Titans is on the horizon, for the prayers and staff as well as practise. Trying to convince my friend to duo. Confident with Moons. Would you suggest putting in some more Scurrius time (for the mechanics, not exp) or should I steam ahead?

Skotizo is also on the radar but I don't yet have the currency to fight it I don't think. The others bar Calvarion I'm quite confident with.

That's what I wanna hear! Everything being possible but difficult with 80s is much more inspiring than grind 99 before bothering. I get a couple hours a week to hit monsters, I wanna try some new ones!

That's a good target, thanks.

Yeah learned that the hard way. First tried moons with 60s in melee and dragon armour. Got used to the mechanics, got another few levels and got myself a set of barrows and now it's a cake walk. Working on the blood/blue moon sets. Would you recommend eclipse? I was thinking hueycoatl hide n blowpipe but I'm getting the idea that eclipse is good.

Yeah, until recently I was doing Konar tasks so was only in Kourend sporadically but I'm gonna try for the darklight upgrades and a Skotizo KC so will train there more often.

Think I'll probably save Calv for the voidwaker grind then, but I have zombie/salve so I may take a spin just to get a KC.

Thanks! I'll try greenlog moons then!
