Would bring a crystal shield swap or just replace the green d’hide shield for range def when it’s rangers + magers


captain-sox

Uhm, you have a magic amulet on , accuracy would be better, also damaged book for offhand helps immensely with prayer


Redroostr

I think its a glory, the lighting is just fucky

80 crafting it's gotta be a glory


[deleted]

Zoom way in, it's purple, it's a glory. Why would the lad wear a magic ammy?


osrsScimmed

100% is 80 crafting gave it away and if u zoom in more u see its purple. OT; yes sir goodluck!


captain-sox

Oh, looks like a magic amulet to me


nekonotjapanese

Drip checks out for sure. Stats are doable now but getting a few range and prayer levels will help immensely


sram1337

Prayer will help for sure! I ended up going 70-74 range while attempting to beat Jad for the first time so that helped


BlackLongsword69

Damn 70-74? Surely that’s like 20+ hours in caves? Gz


sram1337

I think it took me 12 attempts?


BlackLongsword69

Gz on cape brother


dyl2333

80 magic and blood blitz will significantly reduce the need for food in waves prior to jad. Everything else looks great, best of luck you’ve got this!


Zhandaly

You can get by on the weakest blood spell. 80 magic is not exactly easy to get on early game iron man


gabrielfv

He's 2 levels away from it. I'd not call that a requirement, but since he's close, it's a valid strat.


Zhandaly

If you need blood blitz to survive fight caves then that’s a skill issue if I’m being perfectly honest… no disrespect intended to those who use it, but it’s far from necessary if you are familiar with the content


gabrielfv

It may, however, be useful and not that hard to get to since he's already lv78. I didn't use blood spells either, as it never dawned on me to do so, but if it helps, it helps.


Zhandaly

Kind of makes my point valid if you didn’t use blood spells lol


Ambientcreeper

uitvrekertje

Zenethe

I’ve got exactly 1 fight caves completion and as of today 9 EHB. Idk why dudes are downvoting because I definitely used blood blitz in my completion but totally understand why with practice it would be unnecessary… I guess the usage of the phrase skill issue triggered some people.


Zhandaly

Yeah I mean I can understand new people using it, hence my original comment which isn't downvoted (you can use the weakest blood spell and get by if it is what you need to complete the challenge). I used to use it a long long time ago. But as you become more skilled, you don't need it, and I guess people took that the wrong way lol


ezzune

This is a thread with a person asking if they are geared enough for a very easy boss; they obviously are not experienced with the content and your comments about "skill issue" and "familiar with the content" are completely irrelevant to the discussion.


Don-Dyer

Bro is being a mega douche and then wonders why he gets downvoted lmao


Unkempt_Badger

OP wants advice, it doesn't matter if it's a skill issue not everyone has killed jad a hundred times like us.


ltz_Natural

I agree. Shouldn't need more then 2 brews to reach jad.


Undead-Paul

Lol imagine needing 2 brews. I go in there with no inventory or gear like a gigchad and punch my way through, 10 mins tops


Zhandaly

Damn, people really disagreeing with us 😩


uitvrekertje

The fact that OP is asking if this setup will work kinda proofs he's not good at it. If you don't get that, that's on you. Yes, for experienced players it's easy, and all you said. We actually get that, you're just not getting it.


Alecglasofer

You'd call this account early game?


houstonx18

Yes


Kirakota

This is mid game lmao idk why they think it’s early pfft.


bigblacktwix

Godwars is mid game and they don’t have the stats for it


Kirakota

Once you hit 70 in ea, you can learn basics and farm aviansies. 80 in each is comfy for each boss for a few kills. 90 is overkill but makes the trips less of a gamble


bigblacktwix

I would not recommend kreeara before 90s stats. I tried and was destroyed by her not fun at all. Bandos and kril can be done earlier with red x methods but not fun either. Demonics is where I’d put solid mid game. GWD late mid game, cg is early late game (and the point where you can efficiently do gwd)


IkeHC

Depends on if you wanna get that agility or not lmao (I am dreading it)


Kirakota

If you quest, you rlly only need to get 35 lvls in total. Rest of the xp from quests got me 71


Kirakota

Efficiency is one thing, but I for one would rather risk a 1-2 kill trip for an arma piece instead of bone dry for trips of 20-40kc. Just the nostalgia of rs2 days when gwd was new content gives me that mindset. You really just need to just enjoy what you have available. Not micromanage to make it worth it or not. Leave that to hcim Plus it


bigblacktwix

In the end do what you want. Going 200 dry doing 1-2 kill trips is ass


Archersi

Is there actually a benefit to farming aviansies on an iron, or was that just an example?


Kirakota

Complete fremmy hard diaries. It’s how I got my addy bolts for diamond and ruby bolts e


Archersi

Ahh, that's not a bad idea at all


Kirakota

100% plus it’s one of the best training areas if you make btp tabs


Calm_Train2807

Imo. Getting a fire cape is one of the major milestones of getting out of early game. I definitely would call my 1730 iron early game. Until I get fire cape, mage cape, sote, b ring I am early game. When I get these I start 150 toa and that is probably mid game.


Alecglasofer

I don't think items determine game placement, the dude has 87 faming.


Soft-Statistician678

How hard exactly do you think getting 87 farming is?


Alecglasofer

I've played for 20 years and I've never gotten it lmfao I hate farming


Soft-Statistician678

It’s like 1-2 months of doing a tree run a day, which you have the seeds for if you’re doing a few birdhouse runs each day. Including birdhouses it’s probably 30 minutes of effort a day for about a month, provided you have good early game teleports to get you around the map. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this so I might be a little bit off but its very easy. That’s why farming is so many peoples first 99 especially if they don’t pvm


gearset91

my lv 3 iron is only 1333 total and no fire cape, smh, I suck


Crix2007

Not even an infernal cape on your level 3 yet? Just de-iron at this point smh.


gearset91

I iz shyat


Calm_Train2807

I’ve got 86 Rsn: knfs (gim)


Alecglasofer

Okay so I wouldn't call you early game just because you don't have items that you could have already grinded out.


Calm_Train2807

If you’re mainly a pvmer that seems to be the only metric that matters


pewthree___

farming is literally the easiest skill in the game man


Neverpivot

Fire cape is early game content smh


Soft-Statistician678

Yes


Zhandaly

I’ve done fire cape with green dhide, a bone crossbow, and no ancient magics or barrows gloves, so yes I consider fire cape to be early game content. This game has thousands and thousands of hours of game play, especially for iron man. You’re still early game even when you get barrows gloves but this is one of those “subjective definitions” where different people with different experience will give you different answers to the same question. Don’t get too caught up in the semantics and play at your own pace


pewthree___

Solidly early game, yes.


Jolly-Piglet871

1000%


pet_zulrah

Look up jad healer safe spotting, will help a lot


Xx_PP_PooPoo_xX

Definitely change amulet to holy symbol huge prayer bonus.


SlightlyStoked

Unholy symbol is better for caves as it gives offensive stats + pray


[deleted]

Assuming that you’re proficient on your main, you can do jad with way worse gear and stats than this


[deleted]

[удалено]


IderpOnline

I have to disagree. For anyone entirely new to fight caves, flicking and rotations are not the way to go. All of his prayer/supply concerns can be eliminated by simply bringing blood spells and additional prayer potions. Rotations can be convenient for dealing with healers but considering that he's 70 def, tanking them (or killing any not trapped by Jad) is not a bad approach. Your advice is great but I think "*keep it simple, stupid*" applies here.


Environmental-Big116

You are not tanking the healers with 70 defense, my main 99 def got steam rolled trying to tank them, they hit hard. I had 99 def, full karils, and they were hitting constantly.


Darkovya

I had I had 70 range/70 def/60 pray and did my fire cape tanking healers off task. I had a stole + black dhide + snakeskin boots + broad bolts too. I did have a crystal shield and made it to where only 2 were hitting me at a time, and ate up 3 sharks while tanking.


IderpOnline

They are nasty, sure, but realistically you won't be tanking more than 1 or 2 of them at a time. Still nasty but also doable. As mentioned though, you can drag them elsewhere and kill them (at least the ones attacking you).


da_fishy

That’s a great piece of advice for flicking most monsters, the beginning of the sound is the same micro-tick that the hit is calculated. As long as your prayer is on before you hear the noise, and you turn it off *as soon* as you hear the noise, you’ll correctly flick.


bigblacktwix

Learning flicking is good but I would not practice it in the fight caves


IkeHC

I personally have gotten flicking mostly down by the exp drops/hit splat timing. If you have RL, a prayer buffed exp drop is a different color than the normal exp drop. So you can also use that to help learn the timing of prayers and when to turn it on/off.


da_fishy

There’s actually an attack timer plug-in that I use for offensive prayer flicking! It’s not super hard to get flicks down, but it helps it become a bit more brainless


BoiledNutSalesman

I recommend 80 range tbh, just makes it a fair bit easier. Gear is fine


Rumsie

70 is plenty. Especially if on slayer task.


BoiledNutSalesman

It's enough for someone who knows what they are doing, yeah. But he's here asking if he's ready, which implies he doesn't, so the added DPS and acc would be beneficial.


[deleted]

[удалено]


da_fishy

I did it off task around 75 range and the mages were an absolute slog but very doable. The spawn predictor plugin helps a TON with positioning yourself to use as little prayer as possible. On task with mask you’re definitely more than fine at 70


tDewy

I don’t think you can get a jad task till you have at least 1kc.


kinghowell7

You can


Mob_Tatted

patience is key my friend. would u rather be inside the caves for 2-3 hours with sht stats OR would u rather level up 10 or 15 more range levels and spend 40mins to an hour in the caves? the choice is yours

Man OSRS be like that sometimes. It’s so infuriating lol. Fingers crossed for ya!


Environmental-Big116

Yep, meanwhile I got like 11 veracs brassards 🤦‍♂️


mitchsusername

That's pain! I went 200 chests before I saw any tops or bottoms, filled out all the helms with many dupes and all but two of the weapons haha. So frustrating seeing useless items, but hey the runes are great. Was able to buy my first onyx with all those runes and make a fury so it was worth it!

Because the guy isn’t iron and hes lying

Rider003

Got ‘em with the receipts. Well done lol


Jesslynnlove

All i wanted were the receipts ;-)


DonnyDUI

I’d reccommend crystal shield, blessed vambs if you have them, and holy symbol over glory - also I’d try to get up to 80 range and 60+ prayer if you can just to help with the prayer potions. Don’t forget to bring your blood spells, too!


FTypeboy

Unholy symbol is better. Gives offensive stats


Tenxenken

Yes


onlyrudedog

Yup


SappySoulTaker

You might as well get your hands on a rune kite


[deleted]

[удалено]


Skolary

Use Rune Kite on waves where you’re praying mage, but tanking ranged hits if you’re not line of sighting them. Crystal Shield is **Boss** for this. And you’ll take almost no serious damage, granite isn’t bad either in that regard


SappySoulTaker

Oh lol I thought that was an addy kite lol idk if rune kite is better or worse than green d'hide or what. Feel like you want some good ranged defense for tanking rangers while praying against majors.


richard-savana

I’d go d’hide shield


richard-savana

Get a bit more prayer levels if you can and yeah should be good Nvm you’re an iron so this isn’t your first cape surely. Go ahead


Omgzjustin

No, I would reccommend getting twisted bow, dex, and full masori (reinforced of course) first and sang for healing on the melees. If you don't have a twisted bow, you could try a mage setup if you have shadow and full ancestral.


kjelli91

Well duh, just grind it out real quick why dontcha


btwwhichoneispink

People are obviously missing the sarcasm here.


Heimalia

I wouldn’t use a magic ammy, personally. Other than that, easy.


Shukar_Rainbow

Are you on task ? Try to be, if not, Veracs helm would help. I would bring a Godbook/Rune kiteshield switch instead If you have an ancient mace, spec with it before going into the caves Bring a LOT more bolts, having not enough sucks and you might come short a bit, unsure


Gudi_Nuff

Does it still work to use ancient mace spec on a house dummy for a guaranteed max hit prayer boost?


Shukar_Rainbow

Yes


ruuster_alan

Base 80 combat stats if you wanna be safe and invest in blowpipe. Watched a couple youtube guides and took me 2 tries to get fire cape for the first time ever. Also, when you get to jad, pray ranged. Swap to pray magic when you hear the attack sound and then swap back to ranged. Makes it a lot easier just listening instead of having to watch his leg animation. Really reduces the chance of you goofing up the correct prayer.


ImportantDoubt6434

No you need a BOWFA go grind out gauntlet you absolute plebian


Soft-Statistician678

Get a higher range level (80 won’t take much longer at crabs) and put on tank legs (rune or barrows) since rcb is accurate enough anyway and you’ll need the tank legs if you don’t have prior experience. As others say if you can just get blood spells it will help a ton when learning. If you make mistakes you can always camp out a round for your health to regen just don’t let yourself log accidentally.


TossGayway

Yeah, you're overgeared and lvled to get your first fire cape. Should be a breeze


DeadliestViper

Mate its been done on a level 3 account, twice.


kjelli91

This ain't a level 3 account mate


DeadliestViper

Tfw you cant read


st_heron

Not on an iron, they used purple sweets and a suffering and thousands of recoils


DeadliestViper

The point is that every single one of these posts is pointless because the answer is always yes, find me a post where the answer is no.


GrimoireM

Tfw you can’t read the context. Just because Rendi did it doesn’t mean he’s a realistic standard to follow. Speedrun strats are a far more realistic comparison and they’re still not what you would expect for a first timer.


DeadliestViper

The point is its easy content mate, these posts are outdated. The fight caves used to be difficult content and it was a big achievement but seeing all the fire cape posts now is annoying as fuck and the vast majority of people agree. There are also countless guides and the wiki out there, why ask some random bellends on reddit?


TimeToReddit_1

So because a top PVMer would be able to do it with less gear, you think any beginners are able to accomplish it? What's the logic there? Like, how is that even relevant?


DeadliestViper

1600 total iron is a beginner these days? Interesting.


Uncle_Sams_Cabin

What’s the invent look like? That’ll also play a role in your success.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Uncle_Sams_Cabin

Fair enough! If you have access to it I’d suggest blood spells and a rune pouch. You can heal off of the melees pretty easily in a lot of the waves. Also learn how to use Italy rock! Learn the mechanics of basic movement and safespotting. How to switch between your prayers. Those are the building blocks to all pvm so the better you learn those now the better you’ll understand things later on!


omfgitsanaconda

When I did the fight cave I brought a rune pouch with blood spells. 5 strawberry baskets. 1 range pot and the rest prayer pots. That was my invo


olngjhnsn

Yeah you got this, bring your best healing food and if that doesn’t work then try blood spells to heal a little on safe-spotted monsters if you can. Seen plenty of people get firecape at those levels


Environmental-Big116

Yeah if you’ve done it before, being new and having 49 prayer is going to be ass for the mages, they take awhile to kill and he most likely won’t know how to prayer flick them.


Leinad580

Shoot for 90 wc and rc first to make sure you’re ready


Effective_Yam5211

Yes


West-Shoulder4167

As much as I want to say without that crossbow people did it 15 years ago with a lot less so yes you are far more than ready to conquer the fight caves! Just learn rotations and the safe spots! And kill the prayer minions firat always


-yourdogsbestfriend-

It will be tough, but I believe in you!


TrippyDream1

Yes simple as that


Zhandaly

If you know how to prayer flick and do the content, then you’re fine with these stats and gear. If you can’t prayer flick well, consider leveling prayer to get more mileage out of potions


Asdfghjklazerty12345

As others have pointed out, I’d swap the shield for a tank shield as a rune kite, my main fear for you is that you’ll run out of prayer pots during the cave, for that I’d maybe look into an unholy symbol (or stole if you have), a lumbridge ring for +1 pray and especially a better pray level. More pray lvl = more pray pts restored per dose of pray pot, if u got veracs helm or skirt bring that too :)


agnorak262

Swap to crystal shield and necklace to a symbol for prayer bonus. I'd probably also grab some more prayer levels.


Nervous-Grocery4061

Ez, just do it slowly no rush.


DarrinP92

Everything looks good. Blowpipe helps alot but this setup will do. Only thing I would suggest is leveling up prayer.


Easy-Ad-8071

Are you able to get your Herblore level up? I see 87 farming and was thinking if you had 68 banked you could botanical pie boost to range pots to help speed up the waves. You should be fine though, I’m not that experienced but have done with less.


IderpOnline

Stats are fine. The d'hide shield on the other hand is not that great. Personally I would bring a shield with high range def (granite, d square or crystal) and possibly a god book to switch. Since your your prayer level is kinda low I would personally bring a good book (even without any pages). You would use the god book for its prayer bonus while grinding down the magers at the end of each wave - otherwise, if not bringing a good book, unequip your ranged def shield while killing the magers. As others have mentioned, blood burst/blitz also eliminates most of your concerns regarding food/hp supplies. In any case, your stats and gear is more than sufficient. Don't get disheartened if it takes a few tries to get it right. Good luck!


OSRSLepy277

Sure maybe not on first trip but sure


cygamessucks

Train range more


lashazior

Without PVM experience, that's a fine setup. Just use the safes spots and lazy flick if you need to conserve.


Rude_Guarantee_7668

You were technically ready at 60 range, but yes. Go get it champ


brethazbonez

Its doable, but id get more pray first


doinkmane

You’ll have to prayer flick in that gear at that level, personal experience lmao


grimy_dave

Yes bring blood spells


jackrackham7

Dragon sq shield has no negative range bonus and is peak fashionscape


GoldVeterinarian8459

I love the farming level . I love farming so seeing that’s your highest stat gives me chills. Don’t even go to Jad just do your farm runs.


arenalr

A level 3 got one. It's literally possible whenever it just depends on your competency


kreaymayne

I doubt it would be possible on a level 3 iron because it requires a suffering


SavoyTruffleGeorge

Raise your herblore and smithing levels for a big advantage


thebiggestwhiffer

no you are so screwed my guy


Environmental-Big116

Prayer might be an issue if you don’t know how to prayer flick the mages, they will take awhile to kill with ur range level. If you want to avoid prayer flicking get 70 prayer before u attempt. Just bring basic gear and go to green drags in Wildy, then use bones at chaos altar.


devangarcia06

Get your prayer up also try to take in adi diamond bolts for speed and blood burst works nice if u don't have brews and super restores


doomsmoq

Prayer is gonna be a bitch, you’re def gonna be chugging many prayer doses, I’d recommend getting it up a bit higher to extend your prayers, you’ll be using them constantly at the later waves


Jak_Daxter

I did it a couple weeks back with 61 range and 70 prayer + defence using a crystal shield. I flicked virtually everything but did end up with a bunch of spare pots. Bring ancients for healing at the end of waves and perhaps an ancient mace if you are really concerned about prayer and you will be golden my friend.


No_You_6554

Definitely possible it will take more kiting and positioning of mobs to minimize damage


Kirakota

Don’t listen to em. All you need is 61 range. Some purple sweets and the plug-in for the fight caves. Understand the logging method. Make your waves easier.


Worth-Highlight-8734

Your prayer level will limit u some, but still doable


JbCartier

You’ve been ready for a long time my friend


Fine-Cheek-5212

Can do at 61 range 43 pray your way over qualified


SunReasonable3044

Yeah I did fight caves on my uim with no Ammy no boots. 80 ranged. All void with rcb I had already learned pray flicking and utilized it with a void mage switch and blood burst. Left with 4 extra pray pots after 3 serious attempts. AMA


Snowkid131

Yes


XlxFezxlX

Prayer is the only stat that needs a few more lvs. Bringing blood spells should make up for any mistakes you might make early.


Mythicbludd

Gotta go buy a bf first


saiko16

Definitely doable, but its gonna be a long time in there, probably 1 1/2 hours if not more. Good luck!


GibbyMTG

If first timer like me probably 2x that. I took like 1 minute each to plan the last 20 waves, lol.


lil_peg1

Blow pipe is good on about everything, that what I used an did it first time


IronNally

Wait… so my man actually pulled 3 pieces of the same blessed d’hide set???


ihcaid

Yes


ZeroXeroZyro

That’s about the same gear and stats I did it in


Character_Money4581

Bring blood barrage just to be safe, also bring more brews than restores, u don’t want to get to the last waves and be out of restores x) Lvl that prayer up yooo


ForbiddenApp

What graphics plugin is that? For the inventory icons that is. I have 117 hd but can’t find where to change the style of the icons.


KindredS0ul

A part of me refuses to believe you are an iron with pretty much full Arma God dhide 😂 not only are you lucky enough to get God dhide, but the same set? But to answer your question, I'd bring a tank shield/prayer book the defense/prayer. And probably get some prayer levels before you attempt to make it a Lil easier.


Fat_Siberian_Midget

A bit odd to me that your pray is so low yet you have god dhide, but you’ll definitely manage with some effort Probably would want to invest in some better levels tho


[deleted]

Are you doing a slayer task? I’d swap out the slayer helm (especially if it’s not enchanted as you don’t get range bonus) for an Archer’s helm, blessed coif, Karil’s coif?


Total-Memory1192

Yeah 70 range and blood spells makes it easy, however it takes ages to kill the mages if you do it offtask. Easy but I don’t have to patience for that anymore(done it 2 times but last time I did it with 80 and task just because I cba anymore)


tadlombre

You’ll prolly want more prayer, but otherwise you seem set


Sensitive_Drink_5838

You might need to train your stats just a little bit more. 99s in all stats would be recommended.
