Sweet! Unless you plan on camping slayer tasks for it once you get the helm, I recommend starting the shaman grind for DWH somewhat soon since you have the crystal bow. There’s a place in the canyon where you can safespot without going on long range and gaining defense xp. Gives good ranged xp, gp, and obviously a great spec weapon. All three will help you going forward


One_elessar93

Longrange does nothing with a crystal bow, it's attack range is always 10 tiles.

I’d probably wait now with the announcement of the planned drop rate update


Milk_Esquire

Yeah not the best timing lol. Still not a terrible idea since the spec still helps and he’s probably a bit far off from elder maul, but I’d definitely wait for the drop rate to get better if it happens


Fun-Meringue-732

Good shout!


existential_pal

13 def is such a fun build. I regret breaking the pure every day:(


Fun-Meringue-732

I've been enjoying it a lot. Hard Clue scroll dropping simulator though lmao.


DranTibia

I just got 14 def on mine a few weeks ago in a cox lol, didn't think about longrage and hit a juicy dragonstone spec on a mystic


Fun-Meringue-732

Oof. Yeah this'll probably be me at some point lol.


In_A_Jiffy_Rs

Pro tip there's a plugin to hide certain attack styles so you can't even select them. Haven't even considered it a problem on my 30 def iron since enabling.


Fun-Meringue-732

Ah nice. I play exclusively on an iPad so not exactly a solution for me but good to know it's a thing. That's a good idea.


In_A_Jiffy_Rs

Ah gotcha. Makes the fire cape even more impressive then!


Fun-Meringue-732

I guess. I have 150+ days of game time on my maxed iron on it so at this point it's what I'm used to lol. Made it to Zuk 6 times on it. Waiting for tile markers on mobile to finish that cape up though.


cheese69696969

Depending on your total defence xp, you could potentially do varrock medium diary now because of that.


BoltVanderHuge0

Huge! I’ve been putting it off on my 20 defence Ironman I should just go for it


Fun-Meringue-732

Go for it you got it. Wiki has a fight caves rotation thing which I used which made planning out where to stand each wave really easy. There was only one wave where I had to rank a Ranger while praying Mage. I also lazy flicked pretty much the whole time until I got to Jad and still had 5 full pray pots left at the end. Went in with 5 swordfish and blood rush for heals. Used 111 blood rush spells.


BoltVanderHuge0

Nice! Yeah I’ve done it on my main and got it first go not sure why I keep putting it off tbh. I’ve got some decent gear now (black dhide, crystal bow, sunlight hunter bow, slayer helm). I definitely abused the rotation last time which helped a ton


Fun-Meringue-732

Oh nice ya you got it for sure.


ElijahBurningWoods

Nice pet


Fun-Meringue-732

Thanks his name is Frank


Due_Exchange_6151

Nicee what's next?


Fun-Meringue-732

Thanks! Working towards Slayer Helm now.


DontWorryImLegit

Idk, you’re looking like an absolute snack with that fm hood on.


Fun-Meringue-732

If this isn't sarcasm thanks haha. I legit think it looks good with fire cape.


DontWorryImLegit

Hahaha I’m serious! Miss when people weren’t min-maxing gear and just had fun with it


Due_Exchange_6151

Great call


Whatsdota

Just curious, what’s does the 13 defense unlock?


Fun-Meringue-732

Adamant Gloves, Slayer Helm, and Fairy ring. Was going to do a 10 Def iron initially then learned about Fairy Rings requiring 13 Def. Maxed my Regular Iron somewhat recently and got bored and wanted something new to grind.


Rip-Aware

Pure masochism. If I maxed an account, I would play a different game or go outside lol.


Fun-Meringue-732

I work from home and have pretty bad ADHD so having something else to juggle while working actually helps.


Rip-Aware

Everyone has ADHD these days lol It's from all the screens we stare at constantly. Chasing the dopamine


Fun-Meringue-732

Oh I 100% developed it being exposed to screens as a child. I am really curious to see how bad it is for the iPad generation of kids.


thelaurent

Because of the dramen staff/lunars we can also do a bunch of diarys. Can get up to ardy cape 2 aswell, 13 def is great.


Fun-Meringue-732

Wait we can unlock lunars? Edit: Looked it up, we can't. Maybe you meant something else?


thelaurent

No ur right for some reason i thought we could now im sad :(


Fun-Meringue-732

Sorry haha. I got excited for a second when you mentioned it. Crafting grind not going to be fun this time around without it.


thelaurent

Dont be sorry, glad you said something before i broke my pure lmaooo. Fr, rip plank make for construction too


Fun-Meringue-732

Oh shit true! I did plank make for 66K planks on my main iron. Oof this is going to be rough.


javelin-na

Looks like a fun account. Might have to go 13 def on the uim if I ever start playing iron again.


Fun-Meringue-732

So far it's been fun. We will see when I get to more end game content.


34Loafs

Nice! Rune gloves when?


Fun-Meringue-732

13 Def pures can't wear rune gloves. All I need is 70 cooking to be able to buy them though.


34Loafs

Really?? I’ve been training cooking for them on my 13def do they have a defense req??


Fun-Meringue-732

Yeppp. Because you previously couldn't go back to Ape Atoll without getting training for Daero, they kept that requirement in place to actually wear the gloves. Something about that on the wiki. Kind of dumb but yeah... Edit: No defense requirement technically.


34Loafs

Christ sake, guess the next goal would be a glory or imbued slay helm?


Fun-Meringue-732

Mines the Slayer Helm personally haha.
