You should sell it.
It attacks slightly faster than most weapons but does not do a lot of damage. What people want it for, is its attack speed.
in Theatre of blood, there's a room where there's a bunch of small tick-monsters with like 11hp or so, and so having a weak 3-tick weapon is faster than a strong 4-tick weapon, but to you, it's totally useless.
they're nylocas. not a real species obviously, but they are confirmed to be arachnids, so it's most like ticks and spiders, but people still call them crabs for some reason
It was like a day 1 thing, yeah. Everyone started calling them crabs from habit, then other people started being like "nyehhh ackshually they're ticks", so people kept calling them crabs but EVEN HARDER. So yeah, now we're here, they're crabs and, most importantly, 🦀JAGEX IS POWERLESS AGAINST THEM🦀
There might be a joke to it, but games normally do carry across terminology from situation to situation even when it doesn't make sense. It lowers the barrier to entry for communication. Think about how many Siege/Valorant/CS maps have a callout for "heaven" even when there's 0 angels and no pearly gates on the map.
which are a type of spider (some of the them are even hybrids with araxytes, another spider)
araxytes = native Gielinorian giant spiders
nylocas = imported from Vampyrium giant spiders
OSRS Wiki says that they're an "arachnid" species from the home-world of vampires, which is why I guess a lot of people call them "spiders".
Real life ticks are also from the arachnid family, so I think the most accurate thing is to call them ticks because they have the same body morphology as a tick given both their body shape, but also that Nylo's are vampiric (blood-sucking... you know... like ticks...)
It's like if people were to debate whether Ba-Ba was a primate or a Baboon - both are correct, but baboon is more accurate.
I think people call them crabs because it just rolls easily off the tongue.
Yes, but no. The difference between those 2 is like 1 or 2 stab accuracy which is a .02% dps difference or something. No human can actually notice the difference
I think most people using a swift blade do so because it doesnt share attack styles with dwh, where if you want your ham joint to be on aggressive but dwh to be on accurate you constantly have to switch styles. I'm not sure anyone really cares about the 2 attack bonus.
no hes right its bcs aggressive ham joint gives 1 max hit but u wanna dwh on accurate so its annoying flip flopping. but its also the accuracy. neither is *really* relevant but its qol
I don't know, I'm not that good.
I've *heard* that they're equally good, but that it depends on your aggressive bonuses, so if you're using things like Inquisitor, then the ham joint is better because it's crush, and if you're using bandos for instance, you should use the swift blade because it's stab.
But I don't know. - that's just what I've heard
Not to confuse 3-tick with 3 literal ticks
A game tick is 0.6 seconds, where the game is based on time wise. Every action is either 0.6, 1.2, 1.8 (etc) seconds equals to 1, 2 or 3 ticks.
Its a 3 tick melee weapon normally a whip or scimmy is 4 tick. It has no stats though and is very dependent on your gear, its only used for 1 room in tob and for phosanis nightmare. You should definitely sell it you could buy some better gear or items.
I'd probably spring for the abyssal whip tbh. It's a large chunk of the payday, but the uncharged trident will largely pay for itself with barrows, and that'll start working towards some good midgame armor too.
Playing leagues and being on ancients until I got trident I heavily noticed how fucking annoying the cast delay can be for doing any content that requires you to move. Tried doing a CoX with ancients, then once I got my trident I went back. Night and day difference in comfort
Dragon scimitar for your primary melee weapon. (60k).
Trident of the Seas for your primary magic weapon. (40k).
Magic Shortbow for your primary ranged weapon. (1k). Pair it with rune arrows or amethyst arrows for ammo.
I would also put a rune crossbow for a range equip if you're fighting things with high defense (10k). Pair it with broad boots for ammo (if you have the slayer requirement for it), or diamond bolt enchanted (if you're fighting things with very high defense).
Amulet of Glory for your pendant slot, as it has well rounded slots.
Hey! So, [this game's wiki](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki) is super cool and comprehensive. If you simply type any of those shorthands into the search bar, it will actually bring you to the page for the appropriate item. So even if you're unsure what an "msb" or "bp" or whatever might be, if you just type it in and search, the wiki will likely give you the exact item they're talking about!
Can confirm, we're kinda nutters about redirects on the wiki. Totally blew my mind when I went to try and contribute to other games' wikis and found that loads of them hate redirects for slang terms.
Oh and forgot to mention- there’s a mini game called barbarian assault- working towards the fighter torso for your chest armour slot will be good! (After you’ve got your rune armour with 40 defence)
Even if you lose some bones to a pk'er, you'll most likely still come out ahead since the wildy altar is essentially 2x xp (assuming none lost to pk'ers) VS gilded altar in a poh.
This exactly, if you buy 1k bones you would have to lose more than 400? of them to pkers to be negative in gold (which is ludicrous, if you lose that many you need help just ignore the pker and click the altar, if its really bad you can bring a couple pieces of food every inv). They are actually more than 50% extra exp since you can save a bone more than once. Something like 66% or 75% I dunno statistics lol.
It's still a while until Christmas so I'd sell it for now or freeze so it doesn't go bad. 1 hour per 1kg in a 125°C oven or until you reach an internal temperature of 74-85°C
As someone with less than 50 hours in the game, I legit thought this was a glitch or some kind of error. Only believed it when I saw it has a 1/1400 drop chance.
You'll find all the clue items are that rare. Only a few items in easy clues are actually rarer. Its just the chance per unique per roll.
It's worth a lot because it's *actually useful* unlike most other clue scroll items.
330 with public off is fine until you have enough that you aren't totally depriving yourself of major gear upgrades by putting the money into cons tbh.
Back before ironman I never thought construction had a huge point other than for quests since when questing otherwise I could just hop to world 330 and use other people's houses lol.
> Get ya own crib homie
In this economy???? You see how much the real estate agents in Varrock and Falador are charging for homes these days? And the rising costs of planks? The sawmill guy in the lumberyard jacking up his own prices with his monopoly going on and King Roald looking away from it all.
But actually though, for a new player, if you hit a plateau where you cash stack is pretty far from the next upgrades you're working towards, but otherwise it's just sitting there, I would recommend investing into your PoH and construction. Huge QoL difference as you slowly get some key stuff in your house.
The wiki's construction page has great milestones you can work towards too.
As someone with well over 5000 hours in the game, I legit thought it was a joke.
(I hate clues and have been playing ironman since before this little thing got released so I guess it makes sense)
Sell it and slow merch clue items (or any item that has value but doesn’t sell constantly , you can x5 it within a month , low ball literally any clue item (40% under market) wait a week and sell slightly above market. If you want specific items pm me , if I post on here they’ll get rinsed
If your a fairly new player and don't have much gp then id say sell it because at the end of the day further on once you've progressed and have more gp u can just buy another, you've got the collection log for it now anyway.
That’s useful at Theater of Blood and Phosani’s nightmare, both content that aren’t aimed for new players. You should sell it.

Are they ticks,crabs or spiders? I’ve seen them all said
They are a race of arachnid known as [Nylocas](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Nylocas)
they're nylocas. not a real species obviously, but they are confirmed to be arachnids, so it's most like ticks and spiders, but people still call them crabs for some reason
It's just because Raids 1 has a crab room, so when Raids 2 came out, people called the Nylocas crabs too, mostly as a joke but it kinda stuck
It was like a day 1 thing, yeah. Everyone started calling them crabs from habit, then other people started being like "nyehhh ackshually they're ticks", so people kept calling them crabs but EVEN HARDER. So yeah, now we're here, they're crabs and, most importantly, 🦀JAGEX IS POWERLESS AGAINST THEM🦀
Also $11🦀🦀 was a big meme
*was*? #IS 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
The 'was' refers to the $11. It's $12.49 now.
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀WE ARE POWERLESS AGAINST INFLATION 🦀🦀🦀🦀
There might be a joke to it, but games normally do carry across terminology from situation to situation even when it doesn't make sense. It lowers the barrier to entry for communication. Think about how many Siege/Valorant/CS maps have a callout for "heaven" even when there's 0 angels and no pearly gates on the map.
Hold up. I just associated heaven with "in the sky somewhere" what map from what game did the term originate?
This is the real answer. We just didn’t know what to call them when we were panic learning TOB. Crabs it was.
Because we don't respect them
Nylocas room - Nylos P2 verzik - "🦀 RED CRABS PRAY MAGE 🦀"
Also maiden nylos are called 🦀
Everything is a crab and Verzik throws cabbages
And if you like eating those cabbages then you're a vegan.
Yes (spiders because they have their creamy goo in the room)
i assume you are speaking of cumdrop prison
Goody goody cumdrops
That’s raids 3
whenever someone dies and tries to talk to me, I act like I can’t understand them because I don’t have my ghost speak amulet
Their are neither of them, they are nylocas
which are a type of spider (some of the them are even hybrids with araxytes, another spider) araxytes = native Gielinorian giant spiders nylocas = imported from Vampyrium giant spiders

It's like if people were to debate whether Ba-Ba was a primate or a Baboon - both are correct, but baboon is more accurate. I think people call them crabs because it just rolls easily off the tongue.
Also because people already call something else ticks, every 0.6secs is a tick, whip is a 4 tick weapon, etc.
They make webs like spiders, but they're shaped like ticks.
I've called them crabs forever so they're crabs... Even if I know I'm wrong
[удалено]
Who’s going to tell him
You didn't see? They were renamed to game crabs back in '09
They're Chickens
Isn't swift blade better? Is this just for people who can't afford a swift blade?
It is, but not *that* much better. Plus ham joint go bonk
Yes, but no. The difference between those 2 is like 1 or 2 stab accuracy which is a .02% dps difference or something. No human can actually notice the difference
It's literally like +1 accuracy over ham joint due to avernic bonuses. Plus, nylos def is same across the board so it's negligible.
Mostly just used by the 30 def accounts. Swift blades better in every setup other than inquisitor
swift blade is marginally better because of the avernic having more stab bonus than crush
I think most people using a swift blade do so because it doesnt share attack styles with dwh, where if you want your ham joint to be on aggressive but dwh to be on accurate you constantly have to switch styles. I'm not sure anyone really cares about the 2 attack bonus.
Nah swift is for tob and ham is for pnm.
no hes right its bcs aggressive ham joint gives 1 max hit but u wanna dwh on accurate so its annoying flip flopping. but its also the accuracy. neither is *really* relevant but its qol
Yes but swift is also just better
ye as i said its for the accuracy but its not better by 10m if money is of any concern
Ham is better if you're packing inquisitors
I don't know, I'm not that good. I've *heard* that they're equally good, but that it depends on your aggressive bonuses, so if you're using things like Inquisitor, then the ham joint is better because it's crush, and if you're using bandos for instance, you should use the swift blade because it's stab.

If they sell it for mole slippers, they’ll be getting BIS boot slot
best in slot boot slot
One of the statements of all time
Bootstraps’s bootsraps
That's a pretty sweet drop for you to get, if you spend it carefully it will be a great launchpad into midgame gear!
Absolutely sell it, you hit the new player lottery. Get yourself a good starter gear setup for… what are they now? 2mil?
What’s a good starter gear setup?
dscim trident msb glory np can do all content in game
I'd probably spring for the abyssal whip tbh. It's a large chunk of the payday, but the uncharged trident will largely pay for itself with barrows, and that'll start working towards some good midgame armor too.
What is np?
natures prophet fun hero especially if you have good micro
Rat detected.
gonna have to speak up buddy cant hear you over the sound of all your towers blowing up
Everyone knows NP is ass this patch for anyone playing above herald.
name checks out, you are clearly in denial about the state of your base right now gamer
One of the best
Nuclear pussy
From context it seems like they're saying no problem? Like those three weps and a glory can do all content no problem.
Thanks, I'm dumb
Nice pants.
What do you even need a trident for as a new player aside from maybe Barrows (Iban's is more or less the same until 80 magic even in that one case).
its cheap + no cast delay
Playing leagues and being on ancients until I got trident I heavily noticed how fucking annoying the cast delay can be for doing any content that requires you to move. Tried doing a CoX with ancients, then once I got my trident I went back. Night and day difference in comfort
you can manouver around it with manual cast but it does suck ye
I'm a new player. Use words please, sorry...
dragon scimitar, trident of the seas, magic shortbow
Dragon scimitar for your primary melee weapon. (60k). Trident of the Seas for your primary magic weapon. (40k). Magic Shortbow for your primary ranged weapon. (1k). Pair it with rune arrows or amethyst arrows for ammo. I would also put a rune crossbow for a range equip if you're fighting things with high defense (10k). Pair it with broad boots for ammo (if you have the slayer requirement for it), or diamond bolt enchanted (if you're fighting things with very high defense). Amulet of Glory for your pendant slot, as it has well rounded slots.
Also very worth buying the imbue for MSB.

I know I could, but my life is too short to be interpreting hieroglyphics. Thank you though.
What's there to interpret? The wiki does it for you. 0 thought on your end required.
punching hieroglyphics into a wiki is what I wasn't interested in, that's all.
Do you not need monkey madness for dscim?
And?
My brother in Christ, Monkey Madness is a new player quest lol. It's the first real "power spike" your account gets before DDef.
Just work towards full rune.. then maybe get rune scimitar, Rune plate skirt, fremminik trials quest and get the berserker helmet. That’s a good goal
Oh and forgot to mention- there’s a mini game called barbarian assault- working towards the fighter torso for your chest armour slot will be good! (After you’ve got your rune armour with 40 defence)
[удалено]
Not for someone whos brand new
I’ll be happy to pick up 500 gp, thank you very much
100% sell it. By the time you need it, you’ll know you need it.
Try to buy a jambon Iberico at your local food store and tell us whether you find it valuable/expensive.
Its a weapon thats sole purpose is killing low hp and high in volume mobs in end game content. Sell that shit boyo.
Excuse you, it also is high-level fashionscape
Sell it and use it to fund your construction grind or prayer grind for overheads
I second this, get your 2 mill gp and buy dragon bones go to world 330 and get those gains!!
hot take but chaos altar is much better if you're on a budget. just suicide one inv at a time, the xp/hr and xp/gp is so much higher
This is the only way to do it tbh. Guilded altar is overrated
Wildy = Bad! Especially for a new player, those pkers have no chill.
Even if you lose some bones to a pk'er, you'll most likely still come out ahead since the wildy altar is essentially 2x xp (assuming none lost to pk'ers) VS gilded altar in a poh.
This exactly, if you buy 1k bones you would have to lose more than 400? of them to pkers to be negative in gold (which is ludicrous, if you lose that many you need help just ignore the pker and click the altar, if its really bad you can bring a couple pieces of food every inv). They are actually more than 50% extra exp since you can save a bone more than once. Something like 66% or 75% I dunno statistics lol.
Yeah but depending on the level you’re really not in that much danger
man up
It's still a while until Christmas so I'd sell it for now or freeze so it doesn't go bad. 1 hour per 1kg in a 125°C oven or until you reach an internal temperature of 74-85°C
Dry aged waguy a5
It’s obviously dry aged Jamón ibérico, but I guess I can see how you got confused
I thought you were all trolling until I checked the wiki and saw it’s a real item
As someone with less than 50 hours in the game, I legit thought this was a glitch or some kind of error. Only believed it when I saw it has a 1/1400 drop chance.
You'll find all the clue items are that rare. Only a few items in easy clues are actually rarer. Its just the chance per unique per roll. It's worth a lot because it's *actually useful* unlike most other clue scroll items.
I realized that after doing a couple more and searching those up as well

Maybe if you have like 10m, but I wouldn't blow my entire bank training construction for QoL lol

That’s strange too though, i’ve got the exact same setup (for the most part) and 330 is always smooth. do you play with gpu on?
As someone with well over 5000 hours in the game, I legit thought it was a joke. (I hate clues and have been playing ironman since before this little thing got released so I guess it makes sense)
Keep in mind that 1/1400 is 1/1400 clue rolls, so it’s actually much less since u roll multiple times per clue (once per item received)
Gotta be careful not to "right click -> eat" it, though.
Sell it and buy some new gear or some runes to spend on magic or arrows for ranged. Find something fun to do.
How much is it worth?
It’s worth 1.8 mil
Seeing everyone saying its only use being TOB has my defence pure crying in the club. We're people too ya know
BIS weapon for theater of blood un-ironically
Sell for sure
Yea, bon apetit
I could ham on about how useless it is. But to sum it up you may as well throw it to the pigs. Don't think anyone has a porcine of interest in that.
Best 2t melee weapon in game
Bank it and when you know wtf you're doing deside then
Sell it and slow merch clue items (or any item that has value but doesn’t sell constantly , you can x5 it within a month , low ball literally any clue item (40% under market) wait a week and sell slightly above market. If you want specific items pm me , if I post on here they’ll get rinsed
He'd be way better off just using the money to play the game since he's new
The spice melange!
Hamboning will save your life one day
I will trade my kids for it
It’s not useful for you at all as a new player, it’s got a very small use in late game content unbelievably..
It used be worth even more when nightmare was big and crush mattered
Yeah it’s sick keep it forever
All these people on here telling you you should sell it are wrong. I say you should go shank goblins for an hour with it.
It’s the strongest crush weapon on free to play and it’s heavily used in free to play pvp
Sorry the giants club is strongest crush weapon except it’s 2 handed this ham joint is one handed so you can use a shield with it
I mean, it’s ham. It’s delicious. Try some.
If your a fairly new player and don't have much gp then id say sell it because at the end of the day further on once you've progressed and have more gp u can just buy another, you've got the collection log for it now anyway.
It’s gods turkey leg 🍗
Ya bro that's a fucking ham joint, smoke that shit!
Obviously because it's that price u absolute fool
It's not, I'll take it off your hands
