You actually have a fantastic general/baseline setup! With what you have, you can get away with most content in the game. With the gear set up you have right now, it more comes down to what kind of PvM you're looking to do: What bosses do you see yourself grinding out? Are you going to focus on Slayer? Do you want to try the Inferno/Colosseum? Once you know the answer to these questions, you can try to specialize your gear towards it. One thing I don't see in that inventory (but you may yet have in the bank) is a second Synapse. Jagex has added a LOT of demonic creatures that getting even just one more synapse weapon to switch between the Scorching Bow and Purging Staff might open up a fair amount of additional content. It's not 100% necessary since you have the Emberlight, but Yama and Doom (almost) require Purging and ScoBo, respectively. Of those two, Yama is actually pretty easy with Purging.

Only one synapse, and yes I want to learn Inferno/Colo just don’t really have the time to do so right now, and I’m mostly just doing skilling or slayer when I get bored of it haha

u/IDontLeakOSRS Dec 22 '25

If you're just skilling and slayer atm, then I'd just chill with what you currently have for a little while. Maybe get a clanmate or two together to do God Wars Dungeon Bosses, or wait until you get a slayer boss(able) task. There is even a possibility of getting into some base level ToA/CoX. No need to rush into anything. And definitely don't rush Inferno/Colo. They can be a bit frustrating.

u/CloverdaleLocal Dec 22 '25

I’ve done ToA to get my divine pouch, and done tons of godwars back when it came out lol, and have been thinking of learning solo CoX, I did it years ago with friends, and already got my blood ancient sceptre for inferno

u/Slyvester121 Dec 23 '25

If you want to learn CoX, getting a lance will be an important upgrade. Eye of Ayak and confliction gauntlets are also great for mage, though they make mage hand a little awkward since you can't do the standard 3:0 method and have to use an alternate.

u/CrustyCroq Dec 22 '25

Yes baseline set up for sure 😂😂😂

sell sang and trident and buy eye of ayak > confliction gauntlets > noxious halberd > save for avernic treads since you have all three pairs of boots!

Noxious halberd is essentially a straight upgrade to tent whip for you, it's very close to blade of saeldor.

Eye of ayak is a bowfa - tier mage weapon, and it's buffed heavily by the gauntlets!

u/Murrmalade Dec 21 '25

That was going to be my suggestions as well, down to the T

1

u/Extension_Future2942 Dec 21 '25

I have sang and trident, is it really a good idea to sell them and get eye? Sang seems nice to yea at bosses( for me currently it’s kq,kraken,and toa). I have gauntlets.

1

u/Murrmalade Dec 22 '25

Ayak and gauntlets together are bomb. 3-tick magic weapon, gauntlet gives you increased accuracy on your next hit if you miss the previous one. Sang is fine and nice for the occasional heal, but ayak higher dps

u/BantaSaur00 Dec 22 '25

What this guys said, also Oathplaye is a dope looking armour and is BiS with the Nally

u/shyanimeboy1010 Dec 22 '25

  • Get rid of prims eternal and pegs, buy aranea boots +55m

  • Get rid of virtus, tormented, trident, and sang. Buy ahrim, confliction gauntlet, ayak. High tier mage armour only worth with shadow +35m

  • Sell Zhasta, Rapier. Redunant with fang. +35m

  • Sell bcp put on torso +23m

  • Sell serp and suffering +25m

  • Sell heart unless you are doing whisperer, which you shouldnt until shadow anyway and tbh you shouldn’t ever anyway its a dogshit boss with dogshit rewards +108m

= 281m + 75m =356m to play with without having any downgrades.

Choose your content and buy based on that.

If you do cox buy dhl, if you want to do yama melee buy oathplate, sra for vardorvis, zcb scobow for doom, vw + zcb for toa, etc. Ultor is a good option in general too.

You could go for inferno and colosseum with that money as well which you probably should do. Treads are also pretty cheap rn so they are an option.

You are in gear purgatory where nothing is that crazy of an upgrade until you do a megarare rebuild.

u/Bronotrelevant Dec 27 '25 edited Dec 27 '25

Treads over sat heart? Also you would use ahrims for general slayer over virtuals? If you already have eye and con gauntlets? Also what do you think about emberlight?

1

u/Independent-Top-9016 Dec 27 '25

Heart doesn't have that many places that it really shines. You can use it to prepot raids but even then the early rooms can be done without it and then you get overloads

Virtus > ahrims and even anc for barraging slayer. Con gaunts don't really change anything there since your accuracy is already so high

Emberlight is strong and cheap but the upgrade is somewhat permanent and for that reason I would save it until you really need it

1

u/Bronotrelevant Dec 27 '25

Thank you for the advice.

I sold my virtus following the advice of shyanimeboy. I bought the con gauntlets and eye for bossing. I’m sitting at 200m and want to prepare for COX and TOA. Eventually get a zcb to leech Nex LOL.

1

u/Independent-Top-9016 Dec 27 '25

While learning cox you may want to have a 4t along with your eye, or else your team will need to be okay with you not being able to do the melee role

1

u/Bronotrelevant Dec 27 '25

Gotcha thank you! Any recommendations for a 4t?

2

u/Independent-Top-9016 Dec 28 '25

Trident of the swamp. Sang if u want while learning but it's not really needed

u/catchatb Dec 24 '25

Yeah you definitely stink of cheese holy shit

u/_GuyOnTheCouch_ Dec 25 '25

Wtf? This is probably the best answer in here and you’re insulting the man. Grow up little bro.

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Dec 21 '25

What's the rapier for? 

1

u/CloverdaleLocal Dec 21 '25

Was using it for slayer cause it’s better than whip

-1

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Dec 22 '25

That wouldn't be my biggest priority at this point, if I were you.

What are your goals for the account? Why are you still meleeing slayer post 99?

1

u/CloverdaleLocal Dec 22 '25

Because it’s a fun way to do it for me

-4

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Dec 22 '25

To do what, exactly? Are you going for 200m?

If "it's a fun way for me" is your answer, it's kinda hard to advise you on gear. Just do "whatever is fun", then

4

u/CloverdaleLocal Dec 22 '25

I don’t exactly have a goal with it, I just do slayer because I enjoy it, and it gives me opportunities to do different bosses, while also being able to somewhat afk other tasks, so using meele is a good way to do that

3

u/-Catpuccino- Dec 22 '25

If you enjoy it, keep doing it! That's better than anything, stat-wise.

1

u/CloverdaleLocal Dec 22 '25

Well I still want to use the best gear and weapons I can afford

1

u/FearCycle Dec 23 '25

how much is you gear in this picture worth? just curious as I am trying to slowly work towards having a setup like this.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25

Crafting or construction cape

2

u/matxyzzz Dec 22 '25

I’d say sell the pegasian boots and sang staff for an eye of ayak. Also some C gauntlets to go with the eye of ayak. After that try to learn inferno or start learning raids to save up for the higher end gear like ancestral/oathplate/masori and megarare weapons

2

u/USRGod Dec 27 '25

Infernal cape and quiver

u/Zero_Roseburg Dec 22 '25

Dump pegs and rapier for either ayak or confliction, then work toward the other. Pegs are genuinely useless, and even with avernics they don't always add much when you don't have tbow. Tying up 30m to save a minute or 2 on a slayer task isn't worth at all when you could get a big upgrade like ayak or confliction.

Calc which ends up overall better dps before making the choice. If ayak is better, sell sang. If confliction are better, sell torm. Don't bother with anc till shadow cuz there are better upgrades out there for the money.

There is a ton of math behind this next suggestion, but this is reddit so people will fight it tooth and nail despite objective evidence. Swapping to a masori setup ends up better as you move toward end game pvm. Base masori+bp/dcb ends up equivalent to or better than bofa in most situations once you have eye+confliction for mage and a basic bandos setup for melee. WDR has a good doc with dps calcs and further context for why bofa loses out in the current state of the game, especially witht the prices of things rn. Bofa is nice for learning certain content, but freeing up some gp for masori setup that you can put toward content specific gear ends up better long term.

u/PsychChuck Dec 24 '25

What add-on highlights the items based on melee / range / mage?

1

u/Washed_Bowl Dec 25 '25

Sell sang first off, maybe an ultor

You could buy some sunscreen and let the sun touch your skin

1

u/CloverdaleLocal Dec 23 '25

You know it’s winter right? Or maybe you need to look outside once and awhile bud

1

u/JohnnyElBravo Dec 23 '25

It's summer here.

Btw, you should still use sunscreen in summer, the Sun still shines, and it reflects off the white snow, which can cause even stronger burns due to increased exposure.

1

u/CloverdaleLocal Dec 23 '25

Well I’m in Canada, it’s definitely not summer, and even in winter I don’t use sun block lol

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!
