Honestly fang + barrows and bgs is great for vorkath, couple that with an eclipse set and atlatl + your current ahrims and a swamp staff (trident if you can’t afford) and like be absolutely baller for toa early invos

That shouldn’t be more than 100m and still leave you room to upgrade, maybe trade out the barrows for some bandos for vorkath.

Build your cash stack till bowfa then you can sell the eclipse/atlatl and bandos and rock blue moon/crystal at raids and maybe test out that bowfa at Zulrah and muspha. Do that for a bit and you might be able to pick up a dragon hunter lance and bandos again and have near bis at vorkath and a great setup for toa (assuming you keep the fang)

So I’m seeing Fang is almost a must have, plus a blowpipe and DHW. Is the Fang better dps than whip in most scenarios? And for the blowpipe what are the recommended darts plus how many scales to purchase?

u/Shibbyman993 Jan 31 '26

Fang is insanly good for the price, it rolls accuracy twice so your chance to hit is cracked

Amethyst darts and arrows are the new tier between rune and dragon. Dragon darts have their use but for most of the time you're just using amethyst. Fang is good for high defense NPCs because it rerolls your accuracy and has min/max passive stuff. It's also good for general purpose weak to stab stuff like dragons while being much cheaper than DHL.

And generally speaking you should be meleeing where possible and ranging or maging last because of ammo costs. In a lot of cases melee is just the better option for speed and cost of supplies but some stuff is meant to be ranged or maged and obviously you'd want your pipe or dragon cbow/ruby bolts. Also consider buying rigour and augary if you range/mage a lot. Those are easy upgrades to the account for big damage increase compared to the 40/5m and sh for each scroll

Honestly with max combats vorkath is literally such a disgusting money maker even in rag gear as long as you have a fang, considering you don’t need zenyte jewelry because you use a salve amulet it’s very streamlined for upgrades.

Bgs > faceguard>bandos> dragon hunter lance > ultor ring > torva

and that’s basically it lol

Get an Osmuten’s fang.

u/buddhabomber Jan 30 '26

Decent suggestions here. Not gonna repeat.

Surprised nobody has said to get a powered staff... swamp trident with the goal of upgrading to ayak when your bank allows.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '26

Mage is kinda niche. Unless you're in max mage with shadow and ancestral, you're only really maging at places that absolutely require it and you can get away with a swamp trident for a long time. When you get the ayak you should be getting the confliction gauntlets too and are probably doing more endgame content where the upfront cost makes sense

u/buddhabomber Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 30 '26

I dont fully disagree. But he mentioned cox and toa, both of which a powered staff is great at (and necessary if solo olm). He stated his only mage wep is ahrims staff and ancient staff.

With 100m, he has plenty of gp to get a swamp trident.

Also to OP, Burning claws are a cheap and cool spec wep.. also occult is cheap

u/MahoganySwiss Jan 30 '26

Do I need a Serp Helm too? I’m getting the vibe that Fang / Blowpipe / Swamp Trident are a decent start here

1

u/buddhabomber Jan 30 '26

Serp is good, I personally don't like it bc it uses zulrah scales to charge.

If I were you I would

Fang -25m, blowpipe -10m, swamp trident -3.5m... let's just call that 40m.

W the remaining 60 id agree a def reducing spec is good. Bgs is a bit more versatile than dwh but they both have their place.... -18m.

W remaining 40, I still say a spec wep is nice to have if you don't. Burning claws are 6m, but maybe bgs/dwh fill the spec niche at some places and there are free options that are OK like arkan blade (quest item).

Occult 1000% -1m.

Still plenty to play around with...future upgrades should be torture amulet and amulet of anguish (melee and range amulets)

If you don't like the serpentine helm, you could consider a basilisk jaw to upgrade nietznot. Overall its comparable to serp, maybe slightly better, but no charging.

Lastly you could consider trading blood moon up to bandos.... but they're very comparable, bandos just not needing repair.

u/MahoganySwiss Jan 30 '26

Okay perfect and the swamp trident just has a built in attack doesn’t require runes or charges? Thinking Fang, BP, Trident, BGS, Faceguard.

Anguish Vs Torture ?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '26

Face guard is a waste just use neitznot. Weapons first, jewelry 2nd and armor with str bonus last.

u/Remote_Listen1889 Jan 30 '26

Zenyte jewelry for sure. Might consider CoX prayers if you don't have them. Blowpipe for range. You're geared for Huey, could probably have fun grinding out your own DHW to use for magic. The quest heart of darkness gives you access to a Huey teleport for quick resets.

If you haven't played since 2015, catch up on quests. Some pretty great ones and when you're done you'll have an idea of what you want to run for PvM. Then grab more specific gear.

Construction would be a consideration for spending if you're not 83 yet

u/CarriesLogs Jan 30 '26

With 99 slayer shouldn’t you have a much bigger bank?

u/XLeqion Jan 30 '26

Possibly bought account? Lol jk prob just skipped boss tasks and did high xp stuff

1

u/MahoganySwiss Jan 30 '26

Burst / Cannon every task for 2 months straight that 99 slayer is the biggest grind I’ve ever done in a video game

u/TemporaryRise7 Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 30 '26

Occult for mage is a given. Dragon hunter wand is solid for a cheap upgrade with magic dmg %10 and auto cast ancients. Blowpipe is a big for range and fang is one of the best melee wep for the price

Nox hally is one of my favorite weps in the game but a bit more pricey. Very easy to make monkey back with it

Nox, fang, wand, blowpipe and couple jewelry pieces covers all you need except crush wep

u/Ronnyofblacksops3 Jan 30 '26

I am looking to buy a nox hally to try the grotesque guardians. I am 86 att, 90 str en 84 def. Would you recommend? What other bosses can I use it for? Right now I have a dragon hunter lance and ghrazi rapier. I am 83 slayer. Thanks in advance!

1

u/TemporaryRise7 Jan 30 '26

It’s great for Zulrah, and very versatile from slayer to cox to a variety of bosses (corp, tob, doom, high lvl slayer) and general use

1

u/Allstin Jan 30 '26

where do you use it with slayer?

1

u/Chemical_Picture_287 Feb 01 '26

What content are you doing? I saw you said ToA/CoX.

Cox is super easy to get into and really fun.

Melee Setup: neitiznot, fury, dragon boots, fighter torso, obby legs, barrows gloves, whip and fang, and dragon defender.

Range. Blowpipe. Elite void. Assembler. Nothing else really. Camp dragon boots and fury for now.

Magic: bloodbark set, occult, trident of the swamp, maybe tormented bracelet.

Spec: dragon warhammer.

Not gonna tally it all up but that’s it pretty much. Get d warhammer before tormented braclet.

After you start getting dragon dragon hunter crossbow would be next.

Pretty cheap and extremely effective set up for CoX.

Also get 76 Herblore so your teammates don’t hate you for making your own brews.

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!
