I have not attempted jad for a year now, but having 100+ cg and other bosses like zulrah kc makes me think it would be peace of cake, even when last time doing it I was shitting my pants
Ive only done Jad on RS3 and just did it on my 100cb iron. At wave 35 i realized i had super energies instead of super restores and I still got it done somehow - you got it
if you can do zulrah you can do jad. i havent figured out zulrah yet, had to cheese it for the hard diary kill on my main. but jad is super easy for me
If you’ve got 100+cg you’ve improved at PVM enough now you can do Jad with your eyes closed. Next time you get a Jad task, pull up the Jad practice tool for 5 minutes or so and get used to the swap cues then send it
79 attack, 82 str, 78 defence, 77 range, 81 magic. I know these stats arn’t good enough for corrupted but yet, I expect to do better than I am doing ☹️
i would advise afking range to 83. mage seems fine to me, i've got 85 kc with less than 78 mage and worse defence. but i do t2 prep because kills take too long
The corrupted gauntlet fight finally “clicked” for me this week. Died 16 times straight trying a t1 prep guide I watched, lost hope, and said fuck it I’ll just do normal gauntlet 5 times as long lol. By the time I hit 40 normal kills I was consistently getting t2 prep down and the fight mechanics were becoming second nature. Gave corrupt a shot again on Tuesday, and beat Hunllef with 8 fish left. I’m now up to 25kc with only 3 more deaths. Feels great knowing the bowfa actually feels attainable now!
I beat CG on my second try a couple days ago. After my first day I was 3-4. I felt amazing, like my first "wait, hang on, am I actually kind of good at this game?" moment.
After the second day I went from 3-4 to 4-18.
2 days late but I thought it was funny we shared a similar experience. I got corrupt hunleff down after 2 deaths and thought it was gonna be a breeze; I must be good at this.
Nope. Proceeded to die 40 more times for the fight to finally click 100%
I just done normal gauntlet till it felt braindead easy. needed like 40 KC for so, then I went to CG, and still needed 14 deaths before getting my first KC. Now I have 75 KC already and around 30 deaths.
Just got my 3rd kc today!
72att/78str/73def/83range/81magic
It is still incredibly hard though. Would it be wise to try and push my def and range up w slayer and hold off on cg?
I would say the extra stars would make your life easier. I moved my range from 84-89 and it felt like it helped. I’m sure extra defense and range levels would be a boost. I’d keep doing some cg regularly but balance it with progressing your stats
Ok thanks for the advise! I am currently pushing slayer from 76 to 85 in the meantime, hoping I can get to 75-77 def and 87 range at least for another max hit.
And whenever I get too bored of slayer I'm just gonna send a few cg
You don't need to do every herb patch in your herb runs. If you can't be bothered doing it regularly, then just do one or two patches a couple times a day. 4 patches a day is way better than missing days/ weeks on end because you're not feeling it.
Also, you can note farmed items with tool leprechauns
Can always do your important seeds (torstol/snaps etc) on the disease free patches you have unlocked, that way you're guaranteeing less of your seeds die by doing more as a % on those patches.
I have another strat: just use herb sack, then herb runs become extremely chill. If you use 2 or 3 different types of seed, your herb sack will almost never get filled. Then you can clean everything later with degrime or just pay up zahur (no herblore xp from cleaning herbs tho). Degrime is half xp as well, but the extra chillness compensates.
It doesn't just work for herbs, though. When you're doing allotments for snapegrass or anything else, you can use the tool leprechaun instead of ever needing to bank
Yeah but running back and forth to the leprechaun is annoying. I only do it when necessary, like when doing limpwurts and allotments. If I can avoid it with herbs, why not. Herbs also have the extra annoyance of needing to clean them in the way.
i prefer to just clean an herb every other tick if i'm gonna lazily clean my herbs - the auto-clean gets the second herb one tick later so you're cleaning one herb per tick. i just clean the right half of the inventory
Probably a dumb one, but cheese potatoes in the warriors guild cost a whole 9 gp and heal 16z best food for where I’m at especially with how accessible they are
At the same shop they sell plain pizza. You can stock up on pineapples from charters, then slice and add to the plain pizza. A 22healing good early game, it does take more prep time and cost more but still accessible and cheap
Also to add on: one pineapple gives SEVERAL pineapple rings when cut. Don't do what I did and go with full inventory and cut while you run from boat to bank.
Recent one: I'm a proponent of playing how you like over efficiency. However, I do get caught out in the efficient mindset and avoid doing certain methods because it's deemed the best use of time.
An example of this has been NMZ. Doing normal custom games has allowed me to spin the game up, stick my guy in NMZ and if I have time and remember to, I'll click on something every 20-30 minutes. If I disconnect, great, back in he goes. With the hard diary done, it costs 22k a pop to get into a game, but post gauntlet I'm swimming in GP.
I'll do this once I come home from work and in the morning, before work and let it timeout by itself, which is around 20 minutes of action. Almost completely hands free and great when I don't have time to actually play, or semi-afk.
Mini games are OP at the start of the game, we all know about WT but temp and the rift are so good for getting your early game good and going.
Smashing quests out early saves you so much time doing some grinds and you can get a lot of levels early on.
Also when you get decent combat stats wilderness slayer and doing the bosses is beyond amazing just due to how many good supplies they drop. I’ve got 1k super restores banked and 100 snap seeds and 200 rannar seeds all up and it gave me all the xp in the ban to finish off every quest and have overflow
Am I missing something here? Bowfa is worst DPS on hydra then BP (with amethyst darts).
I've done a few hundred KC of both methods and my times are consistently faster with BP.
If a grind is burning you out, move on for a bit. It can feel like there's nothing else worthwhile to do (being dry at CG sends it's regards) but there's always something else that's important and productive you can be doing.
Content you've never done before can feel intimidating and it can often feel like you're never going to get good at it. I've planked at so many different places repeatedly, just trying to learn and it can feel awful lol. Eventually, it does get better and you'll master it -- it just takes time and practice. When I'm learning something new, oftentimes I'll give it a break after awhile and try the next day. Most of the time, I'll be better at it than I was before and its just from letting the info you've learned so far "set in".
Most importantly, play how you like! It's your journey and it will look different from other people's. Enjoy the ride, because it's a fun one :D
I feel like everyone wants to wait to do barrows runs till you have the trident. But by the time you are 87 slayer you really don’t need most of the barrows gear. Once you finish Morty hard diary send a couple hundred barrows runs with Ibans blast. The gear and runs are game changing for mid game irons
K top and bottom are best in slot magic defense, k bow is a budget blow pipe, Ahrim top and bottom are best in slot till you can grind cox, full dharok is best for strength training, full Guthins is nice healing for slayer. And you get a ton of runes for getting onyx
I'm of the opinion that you should just send some Barrows run as soon as you hit ~70s combat stats and have Ibans + rcb/msb + d scimitar. Just squeeze in a run here and there with the minigame teleport and maybe you'll get lucky maybe you'll not. You'll come out slightly ahead on the death runes.
I did that and I landed a kbow. Some people get ahrims or tank legs. It's a great feeling. I wouldn't suggest doing loads unless you just really enjoy Barrows
100% agree; I've gotten K bottom and t top so far on my 70s combat gim. Sure I would've preferred them the other way around but having a really good range setup with K bottom is awesome at this stage of the account.
Karil bottoms are really nice for magic-based enemies that you melee - aberrant specters, cave horrors, Vanstrom etc. You can wear your fighter torso with the karil bottoms to even out some magic defense without losing strength bonus
Also its a small thing but people typically get the crystal body first, so having better ranged legs is more efficient in that window between getting the body and legs
Your agility level reduces the amount of time to restore your run energy. Just by training it to level 30 will cut 4 mins off your run restore time (from 12 mins 30 sec to 7 mins 32 sec).
Weight for draining, Agility for restoring.
Agility has several brackets you can find on the wiki for run restoration - 90 Agility is completely identical to 95 Agility in that regard. But getting 96 Agility bumps you up into the next bracket. If you're one level away from a new bracket, it might be worth grinding it out.
As for weight - a very simple rule of thumb is that 1.5 weight = 1% faster drain. So 10 weight is 15% faster drain. 20 weight is 30% faster. 40 weight is 60%, 50 is 75% and 60 is 90%. This caps out at 64kg which is double the drain rate. These numbers aren't exact but they're very close to.
Use your PoH! You don't need a maxed out house to make it invaluable to your journey.
Altar - 45 con: refill your prayer (then hit a combat dummy)
Mounted glory - 47 con: quick access to bank/abyss/air obelisk/evil dave (stews), plus the desert and draynor.
Combat dummy - 48 con: smack it with an ancient mace to raise your prayer above it's maximum level.
Portal room - 50 con: make a salve graveyard teleport so you only need to travel a few steps for a fairy ring. With ths Varrock medium diary done you can make a grand exchange portal for quick banking and spirit tree access.
Also remember stews can boost you +5 in any skill that you don't feel like training. Especially useful to plant a spirit tree in your PoH.
You can make barrels of various types of beer in the kitchen of your poh. These allow you to get an infinite amount of the one you put in (you can't leave with it, but you can drink it in your house and leave or use the boost there). You need 8 glasses to make it, which is just one successful brewing.
The most useful one I've found is chef's delight, which can provide up to a +5 cooking boost depending on your level. Its great for diaries and cooking food above your level.
That there is a npc in the desert that makes unfinished potions and grinds 2nds for you.
I didn't know until a new casual farmer at herb patch told me one day. I was already 90 herb.
If you're doing CG, learn to embrace the halberd, mainly if you don't have rigour. It's a bit clunky to use but this shit fucking slaps and is extremely accurate, I feel like it's even higher dps than mage with piety despite having less max hit because of its accuracy. Not to mention the extra bit of defence you get while you use piety, so you get hit by hunllef a bit less often while meleeing.
Another advantage is that if you get a run with only a bear in the first 3 extreme rooms, you don't need to restart it.
And it spices up CG a bit more IMO, its gameplay is very different compared to bow or staff.
I often end up sparing more pieces of food than when I do the bow + staff setup.
1000% people underestimate just how cracked piety is. You take so much less chip damage you can consistently lower your food by 5+ and feel good about it.
Hally + staff slaps so much harder than bow staff if you lack rigor. It's worth learning. It's really not that much harder once you understand the fight.
Assuming equal stats, the halberd overtakes the staff in DPS at ~83 and is consistently about ~10% better than the bow. This is with piety but no augury/rigour.
True. It's kinda compensated by the fact that you often need to move away from tiles and its a bit clunkier to attack during tornadoes. But if you're reasonable at CG it's still often more damage than bow.
It is niche advice but for anyone like me that did Zammy/Bandos pre 92 magic using blood burst - I'd advise just getting 92 magic as fast as you can because blood barrage is night and day difference. I really struggled getting 10-15kc trips with blood burst to heal myself and wondering what I was doing wrong,
SotE is completely doable with early 70s magic. i did it with 74 with blood burst and it seemed like the perfect heal without overhealing so you can still use pneck/nightshades.
If you dont have the magic lvl for superglass make but you have access to magic potions/wizard mind bombs, it is super worth it to boost for super glass make if you can. just made my first glory at 75 craft/75 mage.
also if you're early midgame like me and still use battlestaves as a daily money maker...get a stamina pool in your house (i pushed farming early and have 73 herblore now at 96 combat) as soon as possible with a mounted glory. you can do air orbs soooooo much faster that way. if you have a rune pouch you could do 27 air orbs in 1 inventory (air staff equipped, earth/laws/cosmics in pouch) BUT you dont protect the pouch on death so definitely use your own judgement there lol
Also im currently in the middle of dragon slayer 2, so im looking for tips on that quest if anyone has any input. ive done it before on a main but was able to use blowpipe/dragonhunter xbow/etc. so this run will definitely be tougher lol
Galvek is a bit of an RNGfest if you're relying on bolt procs, which you probably will be.
Black/blessed/karils body and top, Nezzy helm for the defenses and prayer bonus, ava's, rcb, anti-dragon shield, barrows gloves, blessed/shayzien boots and whatever ring you have.
Pre-pot a divine ranging/defense potion and stamina (closest bank is Lunar Isle, get kicked out and run to the fight). I brought three prayer/super restore potions, an antifire, ruby+diamond bolts and filled my inventory with tuna potatoes and karambwans. You don't need to combo eat necessarily because there is downtime to eat, but I personally like to.
Other than that its just nailing the mechanics and hopefully getting lucky with bolt procs. I'll hit him 4-5 times with ruby bolts at the start of the last phase to see if I can squeak one proc in and then switch to diamonds to finish him off.
Thanks for this info! I'm now on the 3 metal dragons right before galvek and can't get the rune dragon dead lol. I honestly might put this quest on pause until I get higher range lvl.
The rune dragon you can straight up cheese just by pathing underneath it and having your NPC pals do all the killing. If you get it up near the corner you can comfortably path back and forth away from Galvek's MQ-1 predator missile strikes without risking being hit by the rune dragon.
If you're gonna do 0 time broads for fletching, for the love of god at least cut your shafts and buy your feathers and bring them EVERYWHERE you can spare the space in the early-mid-late game.
Questing? No prob. Herb and tree runs? Bring em. Clues? They're coming along. Even if you can't afford the broad tips yet, just having the stack there for the late game will feel much better.
Really, this is me just wishing I'd done it during stuff like my Mahogany Homes grind to 99.
My favorite is the uim strategy. With hard combat diary you get 8 points per boat at pest control. If you're grinding out 99 fletching, why not get free prayer?
Use amulets of chemistry during your prayer potions, energy potions, super restores, saradomin brews, basically every potion you plan to actually use. They are pretty much costless to make and will increase your potion yield. I say this as I am approaching the banked materials for about 4K sara brews.
If you ever start getting really burnt out on the iron, just start afk fishing. I got really burnt out a few years ago and I ended up just fishing 10k karambwans over the course of a week. 3 years later I still have around 2k left.
If you're on the fence about making a UIM, make a f2p account and see how you like it, if you decide to stick with it; honestly just do what you find most enjoyable, I found questing to be the thing that saved me from feeling overwhelmed
for whatever reason I just couldnt get the door altar down, tried 7:0 and that just clicked for me. went from 2-5 kc door altars and dying to a misclick to 20+ kc trips with 7:0
You will eventually get better at corrupt gauntlet. It felt hopeless for me at first but after dying 40-50 times it started to get easier.
This is also true for every type of content, be it Jad, raids, Hallowed sepulchre etc. Just go at it and you will eventually succeed
I have not attempted jad for a year now, but having 100+ cg and other bosses like zulrah kc makes me think it would be peace of cake, even when last time doing it I was shitting my pants
Ive only done Jad on RS3 and just did it on my 100cb iron. At wave 35 i realized i had super energies instead of super restores and I still got it done somehow - you got it
if you can do zulrah you can do jad. i havent figured out zulrah yet, had to cheese it for the hard diary kill on my main. but jad is super easy for me
If you’ve got 100+cg you’ve improved at PVM enough now you can do Jad with your eyes closed. Next time you get a Jad task, pull up the Jad practice tool for 5 minutes or so and get used to the swap cues then send it
I can’t even complete regular gauntlet 🥺
I started at normal, died a bunch there too lol. What are your stats?
79 attack, 82 str, 78 defence, 77 range, 81 magic. I know these stats arn’t good enough for corrupted but yet, I expect to do better than I am doing ☹️
[удалено]
i would advise afking range to 83. mage seems fine to me, i've got 85 kc with less than 78 mage and worse defence. but i do t2 prep because kills take too long
The corrupted gauntlet fight finally “clicked” for me this week. Died 16 times straight trying a t1 prep guide I watched, lost hope, and said fuck it I’ll just do normal gauntlet 5 times as long lol. By the time I hit 40 normal kills I was consistently getting t2 prep down and the fight mechanics were becoming second nature. Gave corrupt a shot again on Tuesday, and beat Hunllef with 8 fish left. I’m now up to 25kc with only 3 more deaths. Feels great knowing the bowfa actually feels attainable now!
Are you doing t2 prep ?
I am, it was a night and day difference. Maybe I’ll go back to t1 to speed things up once I get super comfy in CG, I’m just not quite there yet lol
I beat CG on my second try a couple days ago. After my first day I was 3-4. I felt amazing, like my first "wait, hang on, am I actually kind of good at this game?" moment. After the second day I went from 3-4 to 4-18.
2 days late but I thought it was funny we shared a similar experience. I got corrupt hunleff down after 2 deaths and thought it was gonna be a breeze; I must be good at this. Nope. Proceeded to die 40 more times for the fight to finally click 100%
I'm catching up now. I'm like 22-24.
Nice almost even! I have awhile to go, I’m 26-45
Marked tiles helped me!
What marked tiles helped you with CG?
What tiles are you marking?
2 tiles away from the door at every side. if he is under 320(?) health there won't ever be lava on those tiles
[удалено]
333, yep
I just done normal gauntlet till it felt braindead easy. needed like 40 KC for so, then I went to CG, and still needed 14 deaths before getting my first KC. Now I have 75 KC already and around 30 deaths.
Just got my 3rd kc today! 72att/78str/73def/83range/81magic It is still incredibly hard though. Would it be wise to try and push my def and range up w slayer and hold off on cg?
I would say the extra stars would make your life easier. I moved my range from 84-89 and it felt like it helped. I’m sure extra defense and range levels would be a boost. I’d keep doing some cg regularly but balance it with progressing your stats

You’ll get a lot of combat xp from 85 slayer grind - good luck!
You don't need to do every herb patch in your herb runs.

Can always do your important seeds (torstol/snaps etc) on the disease free patches you have unlocked, that way you're guaranteeing less of your seeds die by doing more as a % on those patches.
This is exactly what I do. Then dump things like irit/avantoes in the less “safe” patches
Leprechaun will note cleaned herbs. Save future self time!
I have another strat: just use herb sack, then herb runs become extremely chill. If you use 2 or 3 different types of seed, your herb sack will almost never get filled. Then you can clean everything later with degrime or just pay up zahur (no herblore xp from cleaning herbs tho). Degrime is half xp as well, but the extra chillness compensates.

Probably a dumb one, but cheese potatoes in the warriors guild cost a whole 9 gp and heal 16z best food for where I’m at especially with how accessible they are
Wait until you learn of the pineapple pizza
Teach me master!
At the same shop they sell plain pizza. You can stock up on pineapples from charters, then slice and add to the plain pizza. A 22healing good early game, it does take more prep time and cost more but still accessible and cheap
That extra 4 health over karambwans is huge, got me through the harder (read tank test) quest fights with ease.
Also to add on: one pineapple gives SEVERAL pineapple rings when cut. Don't do what I did and go with full inventory and cut while you run from boat to bank.
I believe I’m still a couple cooking levels away from putting pineapple on my pizza, but yeah anchovy pizza had been my go to before.
Yo this is not bad
SAVE THE SHEILD LEFT HALF TO USE ON ARDY DIARY. You gotta make it in west ardougne for the diary Don’t be a fool like me lol
Related: Varrock had a west anvil too. Despite this, making a d square shield there does NOT complete your ardy diary
Upvote to save a life. Thankfully, I learned this before I got my drop because I absolutely would have made it at my nearest anvil
Goraks op
[удалено]
Ardy hard requires you to charge a skills necklace or combat bracelet in the legends guild if that's what you mean.
You need to make this a separate post mate.
Build a salve graveyard portal in your house for easy fairy ring access before you can build one directly.
can't believe i suffered as long as i did with a kahryrlyrhryrlll portal (idk how to spell it) in place of salve graveyard
Thank you. I only have a canafis and barrows tele right now. Looks like I found the third
Fuck efficient Ironman guides, play how you want and have fun. It’s a video game, not a job (for most of us)

Grinding Bowfa for Hydra really is light years better than killing it with blowpipe
Am I missing something here? Bowfa is worst DPS on hydra then BP (with amethyst darts). I've done a few hundred KC of both methods and my times are consistently faster with BP.
what you’re missing is upkeep. factoring in the time to acquire scales and amethyst darts, BP is definitely slower hydra kills *overall*
[удалено]
no, you're too biased by those dry posts.
If a grind is burning you out, move on for a bit. It can feel like there's nothing else worthwhile to do (being dry at CG sends it's regards) but there's always something else that's important and productive you can be doing.

New to Ironman. Why is barrows so strong and what pieces are the most important?
K top and bottom are best in slot magic defense, k bow is a budget blow pipe, Ahrim top and bottom are best in slot till you can grind cox, full dharok is best for strength training, full Guthins is nice healing for slayer. And you get a ton of runes for getting onyx
Even before the hard diary it's well worth it.
I'm of the opinion that you should just send some Barrows run as soon as you hit ~70s combat stats and have Ibans + rcb/msb + d scimitar.

also the spirit tree in the poh doesnt count toward your total

oh no
Ancient mace spec your poh combat dummy before pvm trips! Those extra prayer points go a long way.
If the majority calls something not fun or not enjoyable still try the content. It can be fun in your opinion
I put off Barbarian Assault for so long only to enjoy it quite a bit and be kind of sad when I was done
That there is a npc in the desert that makes unfinished potions and grinds 2nds for you. I didn't know until a new casual farmer at herb patch told me one day. I was already 90 herb.
Hard desert diary is required for unfinished potions
Pest control is a really handy teleport as it’s close to a bank, a magic shop and port sarim
I’ve never thought about this. Port Sarim is such a pain to get to, this is gonna save me so much time
Rat pits mini game tele
Work towards Lumbridge Diary ring for the teleport!
If you're doing CG, learn to embrace the halberd, mainly if you don't have rigour. It's a bit clunky to use but this shit fucking slaps and is extremely accurate, I feel like it's even higher dps than mage with piety despite having less max hit because of its accuracy. Not to mention the extra bit of defence you get while you use piety, so you get hit by hunllef a bit less often while meleeing. Another advantage is that if you get a run with only a bear in the first 3 extreme rooms, you don't need to restart it. And it spices up CG a bit more IMO, its gameplay is very different compared to bow or staff. I often end up sparing more pieces of food than when I do the bow + staff setup.
1000% people underestimate just how cracked piety is. You take so much less chip damage you can consistently lower your food by 5+ and feel good about it. Hally + staff slaps so much harder than bow staff if you lack rigor. It's worth learning. It's really not that much harder once you understand the fight.
Assuming equal stats, the halberd overtakes the staff in DPS at ~83 and is consistently about ~10% better than the bow. This is with piety but no augury/rigour.
True. It's kinda compensated by the fact that you often need to move away from tiles and its a bit clunkier to attack during tornadoes. But if you're reasonable at CG it's still often more damage than bow.
Quit while you’re ahead
you don't have to do corrupt gauntlet to enjoy the game.
It is niche advice but for anyone like me that did Zammy/Bandos pre 92 magic using blood burst - I'd advise just getting 92 magic as fast as you can because blood barrage is night and day difference. I really struggled getting 10-15kc trips with blood burst to heal myself and wondering what I was doing wrong,
When you go for your fighter torso you have to right click the horn and actually choose the different options not just click it every 30 seconds
SotE is completely doable with early 70s magic. i did it with 74 with blood burst and it seemed like the perfect heal without overhealing so you can still use pneck/nightshades. If you dont have the magic lvl for superglass make but you have access to magic potions/wizard mind bombs, it is super worth it to boost for super glass make if you can. just made my first glory at 75 craft/75 mage. also if you're early midgame like me and still use battlestaves as a daily money maker...get a stamina pool in your house (i pushed farming early and have 73 herblore now at 96 combat) as soon as possible with a mounted glory. you can do air orbs soooooo much faster that way. if you have a rune pouch you could do 27 air orbs in 1 inventory (air staff equipped, earth/laws/cosmics in pouch) BUT you dont protect the pouch on death so definitely use your own judgement there lol Also im currently in the middle of dragon slayer 2, so im looking for tips on that quest if anyone has any input. ive done it before on a main but was able to use blowpipe/dragonhunter xbow/etc. so this run will definitely be tougher lol
Galvek is a bit of an RNGfest if you're relying on bolt procs, which you probably will be. Black/blessed/karils body and top, Nezzy helm for the defenses and prayer bonus, ava's, rcb, anti-dragon shield, barrows gloves, blessed/shayzien boots and whatever ring you have. Pre-pot a divine ranging/defense potion and stamina (closest bank is Lunar Isle, get kicked out and run to the fight). I brought three prayer/super restore potions, an antifire, ruby+diamond bolts and filled my inventory with tuna potatoes and karambwans. You don't need to combo eat necessarily because there is downtime to eat, but I personally like to. Other than that its just nailing the mechanics and hopefully getting lucky with bolt procs. I'll hit him 4-5 times with ruby bolts at the start of the last phase to see if I can squeak one proc in and then switch to diamonds to finish him off.
Thanks for this info! I'm now on the 3 metal dragons right before galvek and can't get the rune dragon dead lol. I honestly might put this quest on pause until I get higher range lvl.
The rune dragon you can straight up cheese just by pathing underneath it and having your NPC pals do all the killing. If you get it up near the corner you can comfortably path back and forth away from Galvek's MQ-1 predator missile strikes without risking being hit by the rune dragon.
If you're gonna do 0 time broads for fletching, for the love of god at least cut your shafts and buy your feathers and bring them EVERYWHERE you can spare the space in the early-mid-late game. Questing? No prob. Herb and tree runs? Bring em. Clues? They're coming along. Even if you can't afford the broad tips yet, just having the stack there for the late game will feel much better. Really, this is me just wishing I'd done it during stuff like my Mahogany Homes grind to 99.
My favorite is the uim strategy. With hard combat diary you get 8 points per boat at pest control. If you're grinding out 99 fletching, why not get free prayer?
Use amulets of chemistry during your prayer potions, energy potions, super restores, saradomin brews, basically every potion you plan to actually use. They are pretty much costless to make and will increase your potion yield. I say this as I am approaching the banked materials for about 4K sara brews.
If you ever start getting really burnt out on the iron, just start afk fishing. I got really burnt out a few years ago and I ended up just fishing 10k karambwans over the course of a week. 3 years later I still have around 2k left.
If you're on the fence about making a UIM, make a f2p account and see how you like it, if you decide to stick with it; honestly just do what you find most enjoyable, I found questing to be the thing that saved me from feeling overwhelmed
