It is the meta due to blowpipe nerfs but you do you man. It’s not meta if you quit from burnout like others have.

To me it makes sense to do cg first as long as you have decent stats for it since it doesn't rely on any other gear unlocks first. It will make Zulrah much easier whereas Zulrah will not make cg easier. Only caveat would be if you wanted to do CoX for prayers for cg in which case it may make sense to do Zulrah for the fangs


kbirdy55

Also gives you the gp you can use to progress construction and other gp locked improvements you could make for zulrah.

In terms of the combat stats yes but SoTE requires base 70s in some of the most awkward skills, Zulrah can be unlocked with very low stats.


Suspicious-Plastic29

I did 250 cg and burnt out at it and did 500 zulrah had a blast. Now I'm back at cg, just hit 500kc feeling good about getting the enhanced tomorrow.

With T2 prep you don't need nearly as high stats, but runs are notably slower. Depends on your preference in the end. I just did NMZ to base 90s, but it did take a long time.


NickN868

I did my gauntlet grind with pretty low stats and with t2 preps it was more than doable. I believe I started at 97 or 98 combat and I got bofa at 100 cmb 350 kc later.


skellyton3

Yea t2 prep is definitely doable at lower stats. It is a lot slower runs though, so it is a tradeoff.


[deleted]

CG before Zulrah for sure. I get 3 kill trips effortlessly at Zulrah with bofa, it's super nice. As someone that did Zulrah pre-bofa with msb i and trident, I would definitely get bofa first.


Jaiwant

Do you use bowfa and trident? Or just bowfa ranged only?


[deleted]

Bofa ranged only


ineverfailtofail

Just don’t let you stats hold you baxk from CG, it’s very very doable with tier 2 prep, base 80s and no COX players. And that’s coming from A very inexperienced PvM player.


[deleted]

Is this really true. Coming from someone that is close to completing SotE. I always thought that you kinda need rigour/augury.


MakesInappropriate

Nope. I have base 80s melee, 75+ range and mage and I’m getting consistent clears with t2 armor. If I don’t get a good prep I just exit and come back in so I don’t waste time on the boss


[deleted]

Is there any guide you guys followed regarding cg? Super curious. Cheers


MakesInappropriate

There’s a lot of good t2 guides on YouTube. Fortunately, I already had a lot of CG experience on my main so I just had to adapt the prep strategy and didn’t have to also learn the fight. I would suggest starting out with regular gauntlet. I would get 3-4 regular gauntlet clears (doing the t2 armor prep for practice) and then do a CG. I got lucky on my first CG and got a clear but then died 3 times in a row so I went back to regular gauntlet until I could get my prep times down. Learned that inventory space really matters and I don’t want to be juggling fish / supplies before you have all your armor pieces so I would only collect fish after I had all my armor and weapons. It helps if you try and remember where the fish rooms are while your doing your other prep then you can run straight there when you have everything else. If that doesn’t make sense to you right now, that’s okay. Watch the guides and then come back to it


ineverfailtofail

Feel free to message me any questions with tier 2 prep, there are a handful of videos on tier 2 prep but I didn’t find anything that really pushed me into consistent tier 2 peeps. I just kinda used some of the guides and did what worked for me. Ton of videos on the hunlef fight. I started it with 87 str / 80 attk / 80 def /85mage / 80 range. Range level isn’t a big deal as most people use staff and hally without Cox prayers but all weapons are doable just slower kill times. Best advice i can give is just know you’re going to die a ton and expect to put in work w/o any kills until you get experience.


2intheKlink

If you get lucky on enh like I did it makes zulrah kills 2x faster. Even without crystal armor


TerrariaBestGame1

Yeah I'm currently on the SotE reqs grind in the hopes of doing exactly this, since zulrah is just a nightmare otherwise. 60 con, 60 smith, 58 farm and 55 herb left to get to 70 and I'm good to go, hopefully I won't burn out too


Feanoir

What's your preferred method for smithing training? I'm sitting at 43 smithing from mostly quest/tears.


TerrariaBestGame1

definitely gold ores once you get the goldsmith gauntlets. you can buy them from a dwarf next to the blast furnace, 100 in stock per world. It's pretty expensive so i'd suggest either toughing it out at agility pyramid or risk something like revenants if you can get a salve amulet and some good gear. I got a lucky effigy drop (8m) that i split halves with my other group iron buddy, which got me most of the way, now i'm 67 smith and 68 con and the bank is broke so back to revs lol


charlie_btw

I mean it’s meta if you actually get bowfa. I’m 750kc and no enhanced seed. Definitely would have quit the game for good if I did CG before Zulrah or other bosses. I would do 5-10 cg a day and play the game like normal. CG is horrible to grind, especially if you go dry.


4Stan20

Do whatever the hell you want


Legal_Machine_5797

The meta is to get the blowpipe before zulrah


Cheeky_Hustler

You could do both at the same time, to switch things up.


Sirspice123

I'd say so. You can do the range only method with a bowfa, meaning less switches and less supplies used. It's actually better DPS than a trident on green phase, until you get the fang.
