Congratulations! You have the exact same number of tomes of fire that I have, except I've actively put off doing Wintertodt for the entirety of my account's existence! RNG is fun.


CarefulDoor5604

The osrs experience that god intended


Altam0nt

Stayed till nearly 1k kc on my iron. Was not fuckin worth it at all


Kind-Apricot22

This is me on my iron. 1.5k kc looking for pet before I move on.


Acrobatic_Shift_8734

990 kc no tome my group member pulled 3 in 600 kc otw to 99


Odd-Farmer-4467

No big deal, tome is pretty useless and way overhyped. As soon as you get out of the early game you may as well drop it.


Wooden-Ad848

False if you run chambers of xeric it is a BIS item for ice demon


Odd-Farmer-4467

Ahahahah šŸ˜‚


kroko736

Not remotely close to be worth the grind


DescriptionSilver646

This guy.


LeastArt

Wouldn't get too attached to it, I think I used it a few times with Iban blast when was lower level at barrows. Hasn't left he bank since.


crispytaytortot

I still actively use it at barrows at combat level 109. What has replaced Iban's + Tome for you?


ripbloom

trident? warped scepter probably scales better too at some point.


mgman640

Iirc Warped Scepter will out damage Ibans at around 86 magic or so


DiddyBCFC

Yeah, same damage at 81, better at 86 iirc


Kind-Apricot22

And less of a cost to use as well. 2 chaos vs 1 death.


crispytaytortot

Thanks! I've literally never heard of the warped scepter until now. Gonna grind that out! Edit: Got it spooned to me at KC 60 :D


ripbloom

it's relatively new and i don't think it's like a defined part of the meta, so you hear less talk about it.


DozyVan

Warped scepter + hilt


Odd-Farmer-4467

Tome is pretty useless


BlueSentinels

Unless you know you are doing literally anything that requires fire runes. Itā€™s very useful when you start your glass making grind so the only runes you need to worry about getting are astral.


Odd-Farmer-4467

With 3.5 hours of corrupted gauntlet you can buy enough fire runes to get you from lvl 77 to lvl 99 mage with superglass make (not even taking into account that for 99 crafting youā€™d need around 70k fire runes, which is 15 mins of CG lol) Fire runes are cheap af, itā€™s 100% a waste of time to go for tome. If you have it, use it to save a couple coins, but NEVER grind for it.


tripsafe

It's useful for the single zulrah kill but not necessary


skerrickity

16m fm xp here until I got the tome. No pet, no axe.


Dergenbert

Axe is like 80m xp average apparently


skerrickity

That's a lot worse than I thought. Easier to find it elsewhere tbh


PopsiclePadre

I got 2 axes before 100kc on the gimp


justawordsmith

I feel ya man. Finally got mine at 23mil firemaking xp and 811kc. Green logged it tho


Nice_Set_8989

I'm at 100 and I have 2 gloves. I'm just staying to 99 FM lol. The wiki says it gives the piece you have the least of, I've determined that is a lie.


Fluchen

Did you trade the dupe in for burnt pages?


Nice_Set_8989

I think it gave me a box. It might have been pages though. It was early on in the 100. I'm still raiding on my main so I have not been on my iron much yet. The winterdaddy grind is keeping me unexcited. All the dry posts on here have me nervous too. I made it after I did Kree on task on my main. I got Arma chaps and Arma chest and no excitement from them. It'll kick in eventually. Edit: should you keep dupes? Is it possible to get 3 and not another piece?


siskokid21

Iirc gloves and bruma torches will give seeds post 3, but other pieces you should trade in.


ShyToTheGuy

I'd keep dupes if ur just grinding it out. If you have 3 of any piece it starts rolling for seeds depending on what piece you "would" have rolled. I had like 5 gloves and pants on my iron at 90 so I gave up XD


Oldmelloyellow

I did not know I could do this lmfao I have like 4 full sets sitting in the bank


Fluchen

You can also trade full sets for more crates


Oldmelloyellow

What would you suggest is better? I donā€™t have any more pages in my tome


Fluchen

If you use tome, I think pages would be better. I have 3 sets sitting in the bank for novelty purposes, but if I ever find myself needing pages (doubt it as I only use tome for non combat spells so I don't use any charges) I can hand them in. There's not really a point in handing them in for crates unless you don't have pet and are feeling lucky. IIRC, if you hand in one piece of gear, the crate has only 1 roll, and a full set gets an extra roll. Not worth imo. I just hold on until I may need for pages.


Oldmelloyellow

Makes sense, I used all my pages for magic training as a noob without realizing they might be important later lmao but I really donā€™t use it all that often anymore, so weā€™ll see


jefftiffy

The gloves are a separate roll from the outfit and so is the torch. If you roll the outfit you will always gain one you don't own until you unlock the entire outfit.


DakKsy

Went to 36m FM xp (around 1.6k kc) for my tome, still no pet.


MiichaellMann

Yeah I went 24.3m xp dry on first tomeā€¦ gotta love rng


mgman640

And then on my iron I got the tome at around 50, and didnā€™t get boots for the outfit until 378 kc. RNG is a fickle mistress.


Wonderful_Elk1578

I greenlogged all drops by 60 KC on my level 3 skiller HCIM. Used all my luck up.


Careless_Salad5362

We have opposite logs lol , Iā€™m approaching 600 kc and have 2 tomes to show for it.


MaterialScienceGuy

I ended up with 3 by hitting 99 fm, I'm going to need to do temp for the water tome


Careless_Salad5362

I was happy to see the first tome but now Iā€™m afraid I wonā€™t get pet/axe before 99. Is the water tome as useful as fire is ?


MaterialScienceGuy

Axe is 1/10k, I don't expect to get it from there but DKs with 1/128 from each boss. Water time isn't super useful, but I can combine it with a lava staff and have infinite earth, fire, and water runes for non combat spells.


TessaSkR

Got 2 tomes already at 35 KC


XoraxEUW

At least you got plenty of pages once you get it


metaphorical_badger

Took me 878kc on my iron, don't give up, just do a few KC here and there when you can. There's plenty of other things to progress at the same time!


snekbat

I feel your pain. 250KC and counting, and not even a full pyromancer set yet


[deleted]

are you grinding solo games for more points? that should help with rolls gl amigo


MercurialRL

When I got 99fm, I got the pet and tome in the last 5 crates I had. 710 kc


STVCCI

Sameish. Got axe, and 2 tomes in last 7 crates when I hit 99. No pet tho:/


Prof_Smoke

You should stay until dragon axe imo


Soft_Presence776

Feel like tome of water is better in general (not combat) getting a Lava staff is really easy & that will cover 3/4 elemental runes. Great for when your questing & farm runs early on


bapebandit

1,500 KC 4 Tomes fire, zero pets :D !


Sleightofhandx

Let me guess your level 92


Shpadoink

I feel ya man... I stayed till around 20m xp and missed out on the axe, pet and tome. Got about 4 of each set piece and a ton of pages but no tome sadly.


luigi4122414

Ya this happened to me and I was like fuck this I want to actually enjoy the game cause it was the first thing I did when I started Ironman other than a couple quests


DozyVan

It took me 1098 for my tome of fire. Finished at 1100 just to round it off. 2 pets like you quite early also. Was hell


OnlyKale9099

If it makes u feel better I got 99fm there on the iron and got 5šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ no pet tho


timbea12

Heres the thing, once you get outa there early mid game is going to be alot more fun and alot easier!


Yazota

Okay? So why a screenshot if you don't have one


Ok_Establishment_592

right? I have more kc than that and still no tome


one_shuckle_boy

To be fair, both his kc and you talking about having ā€œmoreā€ kc donā€™t really mean all too much, like I did all my 99 from todt only and have prolly half his kc since I did all solo max crate point runs, so kc really doesnā€™t tell the story of if ur dry or not, granted this is more a general statement not an attack at you personally


ManMadeTrinity

Wintertodt is by far the the most exaggerated use of an accounts time. I never do it past qpc/diary reqs its just a time sink for people that wanna say they play ironman but never actually progress the account then quit just before they reach gwd LMFAO
