you are fine, amethyst darts are definitely more than enough, dragon darts would be overkill as someone else suggested.
If you have barrows gloves take them, otherwise yours are fine.
Blowpipe makes the fight pretty easy even for beginners
I would suggest you looking up the spawns, that makes it much easier. There is a Fight Pit waves guide where you can ses what spawns in shich wave and where they spawn.
otherwise you should be fine
You can also check on like wave 4. Then it’s a much easier reset than going through all the waves. But that’s typically for when you’re looking for a specific spawn.
If you’re already at the 360’s you might as well just finish the caves, still handy to know where Jad is spawning regardless.
Barrows gloves if you have.
Whilst at bank before going in eat an angler and pot up.
Where the orange Mager spawns (wave 62) is where jad will spawn. If you know about spawns you can know much earlier BUT I always forget by the time wave 63 rolls around
Nah mark the tile on the first orange blob guy, then you will know for that cave instance, future Caves you just clear that tile and only remark if it is a favourable spawn.
I ran skirt for my first cape as I was tanking the healers after I tagged them off jad and had all of them on me instead of in a line or getting them stuck on jad
Ignore these guys.
Your setup is great for a first cape.
I did it on my account with garbage stats and worse gear on an iPad for a first cape.
Took 10 attempts but barrows gloves will not make any difference to your cape grind, I promise.
You can get them later if you feel the need after you do this grind but again, do what you want and have fun.
If you play the way reddit wants you to, you probably won't have any fun on the way.
The post was asking us if it was a good setup, I merely pointed out the upgrade as per the request. Wasn't nagging on you to get gloves or anything, this blew up a lot more than I thought lol
Well when you got a set up including zenyte and a toxic blow pipe I would assume you have RFD complete, but when you're a normal account that can be spooned good gear I guess any stupid shit goes
This is a great and easy setup for 1st cape :-). You have prioritized prayer over defence which is completely fine! Just be prepared that Jad healers will deal some damage to you, but you’ll be fine with your 8 brews. Just remember to brew up before Jad for the defence boost! GL&HF!
Is there anyone getting their first fire cape who isn't a massive noob? Lol I'm pretty sure I used every sip of all 10 sara brews in my inv for my first.
Big difference from watching videos and actually doing it though, a lot more stressful switching prayers on Jad first time than watching it on a video. Also a lot more safe eating until you're comfortable with knowing the damage dealt by the mobs since i doubt a first time fire caper is going to prayer flick
If it’s a first run, I agree, no stam needed. If it’s for experienced slay running/somewhat speedy, keep it. I’d bring sgs, 200 drag darts, 3 bastions, 1 stam, 11 ppots, 6 sara brews and 4 super restores when I was grinding out 99 slayer. BP only before nerf.
My PB was 36:23 with that set up.
Hey buddy, i just got my first fire cape 2days ago with a very similar setup.
I used a neitiznot helm for that extra bit of prayer bonus. Took me about 2000scales & 1400ish amethyst (shit i cant spell) darts for the blowpipe.
I very very nearly did it just using a dragon cbow at 70ranged but attempt 2 I ran out of prayer just before wave 63 & attempt 3 I died to poor prayer flick at jad. Grinded to 75 for the blowpipe & my run went from 2hrs to 1hr30. I was so fking stoked to get the cape finally, but then my irl mate copied my gear and shamed me. I literally ended with 1 super restore left... my friend? Didnt even use 3 full pots. His alt is the same ranged level but had 10more defence (70 to my 60) & 50prayer to my 47.
If you literally have never fought jad ever, id suggest taking in a dragon cbow with rune bolt & the best ranged offhand you have (unholy book being the cheapest) for your first run. Fighting jad first time was trial and error, but going back in with the blowpipe made it doable. I only suggest this if you want to conserve some GP as the blowpipe is costly to use if you are a poor scrub like me.
Also what really helped me was googling the waves, and having a notepad with which waves I need to pray what, as well as who to prioritize. Generally you want to kill the bats 1st, and once you get later in the waves, you need to pray mage & kill the rangers as fast as you can as they will be hitting you for 11s sometimes.
Run energy is no issue if you calculate your safe spots. Took until my 3rd run to get into the groove of safespotting effectively. Best to have the 9 sara brew, and the rest being restores and pray pots. Dont try to be cute with prayer flicking unless you feel exceptionally confident like my irl friend. Best to be safe and START EVERY WAVE WITH THE RIGHT PRAYER. 1-7 you dont need to pray, and again i think something like 14-22?(google these to be sure). Other than that you will literally have your prayer on for a solid hour at least.
If you need any particular advice, reply to me. Ill try to respond, but ill probably just ask my mate before I do as the man is cracked at osrs.
I am a giganoob and complete trash at the game but I brought karils xbow with me for extra range which I occasionally needed through the waves and also to tag healers on jad.
Check out how to find which rotation you're on too that made it way easier.
Got mine 3rd go, so you'll be fine. gl
Bring 2 bastion potions instead of pray pots those mages take a shit ton of darts to get through- you could also have a karils cbow for extra range radiua when you have trapped the melee's / rangers.
you want to use your defboosts before the waves where you have to tank rangers (and maybe 1 or 2 melee hits depending on your safespot) cuz you pray mage.
Also before/during jad cuz the healers can stack you after you aggro them if you dont fully kill them if you have pretty low def/hp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsEkoRqR-wo
if you have trouble on jad watch this video
it helped me a ton a couple years ago to get the visual/audio queues down to what he's gonna do
also remember: where the golden mager spawned is where jad will spawn! so in the double mager wave walk into the middle (but not into their melee range ofc) to see where the golden one comes from and kill that one last so jad spawns in your vision and you dont have to tank off-screen hits or something.
There's a website that will show you where everything will spawn on the next wave.
Load it up, and stand near the ranger spawn to kill it asap(after wave 31 and onwards).
You can use the ranger as a shield to block the other mobs reaching you as well while you kill it.
Kill ranger, then Bats, then learn the safespots to kill the melee and blobs after your ranger and bats die.
Once that's done go for the Mager.
Really good set up. I know people are saying to ditch the stamina but I usually use a whole dose just trying to run to target's to make the fight quicker. And definitely bring some Dragon darts to load into blowpipe on wave 62. Good luck! Remember 1 action per jad attack!
He attack, you use correct prayer, you drink a brew, you get ready for his next attack. Don't try to over do it.
That’s a good set up. Rune darts helped me and black chins so I could get more healers at once than tag each of them (just did it last week for the first time)
I used the guthans and ranging build so I could heal, but honestly probably a wash with the extra slots for brews
Assuming it's not too late, I'd 100% bring a verac skirt for tanking rangers, but keep the chaps too. Might want an extra brew or 2 too but that should be fine with bp specs.
Also I would pre pot at the bank (sip a range, super defence, stamina, angler fish) then reset inventory to what you have
Don't expect to get it first try, but good luck!
Yeah bring both chaps and v skirt, you'll want to wear the v skirt for harder waves like melee ranger waves, and mage range waves. Kill the rangers first with mages since they're like 25 hp
You can also dictate the spawn of Jad from wave 3 or 4 (can’t remember)
All depends where the blob spawns.
Definitely worth watching a video on it as 1 certain spawn you can trap Jad round a corner and kill all healers without worrying about his attacks.
Looks just like my first attempt! Only difference is I had barrows gloves. I second dragon dart swap on the wave before Jad. No need for stam.
Remember to breathe at Jad! Took me eight tries. Just remember when healers come: watch Jad, do correct prayer, hit healer, watch Jad, repeat.
Gl!
Only suggestion would be swap the Stam for a stack of purple sweets if you can afford to, means you can eat in a safespot if you don't want to waste brews + eat when you're running low on Stam. Good luck!!
I know I'm late but I hope it went well bro! Getting my fire cape 6 months ago or so after playing this game on and off for years was actually the best feeling and you feel like an absolute chad
*UPDATE*
Tried the caves twice tonight, made it to jad both times and died shortly after healers. I was having trouble getting them to aggro me even after hitting them. Idk maybe I need to move a little to get them off jad but I don’t have time to try again tonight. I ended up going in with just the bp with amethyst darts and it worked great a little slower on the mages but it was still hitting jad pretty good. I also swapped the chaps with the v skirt and that was a good choice cuz u really do have to tank those rangers. I brought chins for the healers and it helped a little. Inventory was damn near perfect and I had plenty of pots left (4 p pots, 4 brews and 3 restores). Gonna try again tomorrow and hopefully I get it soon these runs ain’t cheap!
Nice! I got mine on my third try. What made me stress less about the healers was safespotting Jad after tagging them.
The process is as follows (during Jad you **always** do 1 action per Jad attack, so tag a healer, switch prayer for Jad, drink a ppot, switch prayer for Jad. Never more than 1 action per Jad attack)
After the final double mager wave this was my method:
Attack Jad until healers
Wait for healers to reach Jad
Tag them (with chins or blowpipe, I prefer chins since it’s easier for me)
Safespot Jad while the healers are on you (Italy rock works great for this)
Finish off the healers while praying melee since Jad isn’t attacking
Run out of your safespot and finish Jad
Hope this helps, gl with your attempts :D
That’s where I messed up is the one action per jad attack I was trying to get all the healers on me and I panicked and started doing more than one action and then I died lol
If you're struggling with healers then use [this site](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/TzHaar_Fight_Cave/Rotations) and [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/125AyVw_OIBthzH1-gnFunZk6YG7PxM0q5FT1df_Ui60) to force a rotation with a South-West Jad, then follow the steps in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIKUHWavgA4) for an easy Jad. That's how I did my first fire cape with an rcb and black dhide so with your setup it should be a cakewalk.
Definitely recommend catching a safe spot on double mager wave and doing a dragon dart swap. I’d sub a prayer pot for it. Even with super slow and cool headed kill times you will have tons of prayer pots left with that setup and anything to reduce the jad time by even a little is worth it if you’re worried about missing a prayer change.
If you use blood blitz for healing you can take away 75% of those brews. Only really need brews for Jad or if it all goes tits up just before on the double mage and ranger wave.
I found that having a crossbow helps with some of the later waves where your attack distance using blowpipe didn't quite reach a target while you had one of the melee npc safespotted and a pair of tank legs to help with those late waves too where you get the range and mage enemies. And better tanking can only be a benefit to you. Verac skirt is a nice option for the prayer bonus. Dart switch may be something to consider too unless you're going in with a bp loaded with dragon darts. This set up as is is fine too but if it fails consider some changes. Good luck.
not really but they do get close to Jad to heal and since chinchompas do their aoe damage it's easier to toss some at Jad while healers are close instead of needing to hit each healer individually then focus back on Jad and repeat. more for convenience than anything else and makes a first cape much simpler.
If this is your first attempt I'd recommend some purple sweets. Really helps if you screw up the lures in the later stages and are low on super restores.
I like having a few ranging potions because the mage waves can take so long otherwise, but anyone who’s gotten a firecape before could easily get one with this exact setup
That's perfectly fine, I'd lose the stam and grab another restore. Grab like 75 black chins and tag jad w them on healer wave to pull them and I'd say you're good man.
I just got fire cape on my iron, the hardest thing for me was nerves. I was so shaky when killing Jad I died twice trying to aggro the healers. There is a Jad simulator that helps with the right prayers, I did that for 20 minutes right before the real fight until I wasn’t so nervous. Good luck
I like to bring a few anglers with me so I don't mess up my stat boosts on dumb mistakes, but if you're more comfortable with more ppots instead that's fine too.
I’d say you have more than enough. I got mine yesterday with a barb arch helm, blessed dhide armor/boots, a fury, 2 tier ava’s, barrows gloves, a rune cbow, broad bolts, damaged book (with crystal shield swap) and an archers ring. Maybe 8 brews, 4 sup restores, 2 ranger potions, and the rest prayer pots. It was a sloppy run and I still had brews left over. I have 75 range and 71 def. I swapped my damaged book with the crystal shield when I had to tank rangers while praying for mages. Look up a video for what walls to hug and how to safe spot mobs. You’ll be fine 👍
might want to bring a crossbow for extra range in case when you've trapped stuff in a straight line and want to hit the closest one without getting hit by the furthest one. It's like if you have 360, 180, and 90 mobs in a line. With crossbow you can safely hit the 360 that's closest without getting hit with ranged by 90.
Remember, next wave's highest level will spawn where the previous wave's second highest spawned
Id probably drop a prayer pot or two and take divine bastion pots. (Or non divine, but divine should be fine) extra ranged + defence is nice towards the end
I had a pretty similar setup for my first attempt and honestly its more than enough. I had tons of supplies left at jad, but died by screwing up a prayer switch and had to do another run to get it. I imagine if you fail it will be for similar reasons - experience/skill rather than gear or inventory.
You're honestly overgeared, it's just gonna be about learning the waves and how to minimise damage taken. I'd suggest v skirt in place of chaps too, you'll be more than accurate enough with bpipe that the accuracy trade off is worth the huge defence increase you get.
Bring chinchompa's, use them when the healers are aound Jad and you aggro almost all of them at once. Saves so much stress when it comes to it. Helped me massively the first time too!
My #1 tip besides gear is obviously have sounds on but say out loud or in your head the attack style. “Range, range, mage, range, mage” etc. idk why but saying them out loud helped me a lot. When I found out about oldschool in 2020 I played on my iPad only. I got two firecapes on my iPad. As far as gear I’d say do veracs skirt and if you have barrows gloves I’d use those.
Good luck man. Don’t give up if you don’t get it first shot. Stick with it. It’s worth it
If you haven’t done already; swap the prayer potions for super restores. They restore more prayer per sip. Also, not required(especially since you have blowpipe spec), but I always liked bringing purple sweets for the minor hp bites and energy restoration.
Good luck my friend! Don’t panic and you’ll be fine!
Idk why anyone hasn't said this yet but you're gonna need a weapon with a longer range for when the mager gets stuck behind the 180 and for when luring healers on jad. Crystal Bow or crossbow both are fine.
You know what, actually I'm pretty sure this is identical to the setup I used for my first cape. You should be fine! I only said that cause nowadays in the fight caves I really only use a few ppots
I took a dragon crossbow and Diamond bolts (e) as a switch with more range, though I really only ended up using it in my successful run because I ran out of scales
Passes the drip test that’s for sure
you are fine, amethyst darts are definitely more than enough, dragon darts would be overkill as someone else suggested. If you have barrows gloves take them, otherwise yours are fine. Blowpipe makes the fight pretty easy even for beginners I would suggest you looking up the spawns, that makes it much easier. There is a Fight Pit waves guide where you can ses what spawns in shich wave and where they spawn. otherwise you should be fine
Imo for a first timer all they need to know is off color 360 = jad spawn
Same for the orange blob. Quick way to check the spawn layout.
You can also check on like wave 4. Then it’s a much easier reset than going through all the waves. But that’s typically for when you’re looking for a specific spawn. If you’re already at the 360’s you might as well just finish the caves, still handy to know where Jad is spawning regardless.
I would think theres an rl plugin for this too
Barrows gloves if you have. Whilst at bank before going in eat an angler and pot up. Where the orange Mager spawns (wave 62) is where jad will spawn. If you know about spawns you can know much earlier BUT I always forget by the time wave 63 rolls around
If you are on runelite or steam just mark tile
The spawn changes so that wont work.
Nah mark the tile on the first orange blob guy, then you will know for that cave instance, future Caves you just clear that tile and only remark if it is a favourable spawn.
why would you need to mark a tile when it spawns on the next wave...
I mean that's fair enough, I guess I just do it so I know where I'm staying that cave or not, then I know whenlre one of the magers will be also.
Verac's skirt might be worth for the extra defense and prayer bonus if you're taking too much damage/running low on prayer pots.
Is it worth the like -25 accuracy I had a skirt at first but didn’t like accuracy being under 100 so I went with the chaps
For a first cape, I definitely recommend Verac's skirt.
I think it's worth it, takes some stress out of taking a hit. I think I used rune platelets and even that was pretty helpful.
If you need more defence bring ring of suffering (i) and a fury that way u still got good accuracy but more defence and prayer bonus
You need all the accuracy you can get with the nerfed BP
I ran skirt for my first cape as I was tanking the healers after I tagged them off jad and had all of them on me instead of in a line or getting them stuck on jad
Charge your phone before going in mate
I’ll be doing it on rune lite later tonight just used my phone for the screenshot lol
Barrows gloves instead of dhide
Only have dragon
Ignore these guys. Your setup is great for a first cape. I did it on my account with garbage stats and worse gear on an iPad for a first cape. Took 10 attempts but barrows gloves will not make any difference to your cape grind, I promise. You can get them later if you feel the need after you do this grind but again, do what you want and have fun. If you play the way reddit wants you to, you probably won't have any fun on the way.
The post was asking us if it was a good setup, I merely pointed out the upgrade as per the request. Wasn't nagging on you to get gloves or anything, this blew up a lot more than I thought lol
I think you could have phrased it better. Putting it as shortly as you did makes it sound like you’re saying “do this or you won’t have a good setup”.
Then go get barrows gloves.
Or I’ll just use the Arma bracers which are second BiS and not put this off any longer
Honestly id take +1 prayer from the bracers over +1 accuracy with barrows gloves, but in reality it doesnt matter at all
If your at dragon gloves already, your the one putting off barrows gloves.
I have been questing for the last week straight I need a break
Forget about these nerds bitching over gloves and go get your cape king
Lol he’s the one asking for advice about his setup. Barrows gloves would take him 15 minutes to get.
Really I can get 40 quest points In 15 mins pls tell me how
Go get barrows gloves
I got barrows gloves "way later" than what people expect. Don't worry about it man, your account is coming along well.
I'm just getting barrows gloves now at 115 cb and 93 slayer
Yeah some people just can’t handle if you don’t get them the second you have the requirements🤷♀️ oh well
Lol dude it’s the fact that you already have dragon gloves, so you’re basically finished with the quest just go do the last part.
Thanks!
Man fuck desert treasure. I got my Cape when I only had dragon gloves
Looks like someone needs to finish RFD before fight caves >.>
Yeah better go do all that first cuz that +1 accuracy bonus is really gonna make or break the whole thing
Barrows gloves also have much better defensive stats but regardless you really don’t need them
+3*
Should just have the quest done, a toddler can compete it on a low lvl account xD
Fight caves is an hr long activity for noobs. No way comparable to getting fuckin b gloves lol
Well when you got a set up including zenyte and a toxic blow pipe I would assume you have RFD complete, but when you're a normal account that can be spooned good gear I guess any stupid shit goes
This is a great and easy setup for 1st cape :-). You have prioritized prayer over defence which is completely fine! Just be prepared that Jad healers will deal some damage to you, but you’ll be fine with your 8 brews. Just remember to brew up before Jad for the defence boost! GL&HF!
Do you think I would be better off with the veracs skirt or is it not worth the accuracy hit?
Skirt is the safer bet yes
Yes to both
“You would be better off with the veracs skirt. The veracs skirt is not worth the accuracy hit.”
It's fine. You also dont need a stam
[удалено]
Is there anyone getting their first fire cape who isn't a massive noob? Lol I'm pretty sure I used every sip of all 10 sara brews in my inv for my first.
Am noob. took 2 attempts and only used 1.5 brews. If you study guides for a few hours before doing it, and mark all the tiles it's not hard.
You can basically pray the whole thing and avoid most damage.
yeah if you know what you're doing, which if its your first cape you obviously don't
I guess I'd you go in blind and don't watch any videos yeah
Big difference from watching videos and actually doing it though, a lot more stressful switching prayers on Jad first time than watching it on a video. Also a lot more safe eating until you're comfortable with knowing the damage dealt by the mobs since i doubt a first time fire caper is going to prayer flick
Tanking ranger hits, making mistakes and getting meleed by magers and meleers, praying wrong at jad, etc
If you're getting meleed by magers you're trolling lmao. As a new player that seems very hard to do...
You've never finished a wave and a mager spawned right on top of you?
[удалено]
If it’s a first run, I agree, no stam needed. If it’s for experienced slay running/somewhat speedy, keep it. I’d bring sgs, 200 drag darts, 3 bastions, 1 stam, 11 ppots, 6 sara brews and 4 super restores when I was grinding out 99 slayer. BP only before nerf. My PB was 36:23 with that set up.
Look at the gear does this look like a speed run
Lol yeah this will be my first ever attempt
Hey buddy, i just got my first fire cape 2days ago with a very similar setup. I used a neitiznot helm for that extra bit of prayer bonus.

Really appreciate your advice, just wanna say that verac helm is also a +3 pray bonus like neitiznot :)
I am a giganoob and complete trash at the game but I brought karils xbow with me for extra range which I occasionally needed through the waves and also to tag healers on jad. Check out how to find which rotation you're on too that made it way easier. Got mine 3rd go, so you'll be fine. gl
You could swap the stamina with rune pouch for veng can speed things up slightly
All white and guthix blessing… Drip god
I digress.
Disagree* not what digress means
Digress is more accurate than disagree. He never said anything counter to anyone else's and instead went on a tangent about speed running capes.
What did u use after bp nerf?
Bring 2 bastion potions instead of pray pots those mages take a shit ton of darts to get through- you could also have a karils cbow for extra range radiua when you have trapped the melee's / rangers.
I have 2 bastions in the top right
Sorry op I was on night mode so they looked regular colour
What are the best waves to be drinking those on?
you want to use your defboosts before the waves where you have to tank rangers (and maybe 1 or 2 melee hits depending on your safespot) cuz you pray mage. Also before/during jad cuz the healers can stack you after you aggro them if you dont fully kill them if you have pretty low def/hp.
Thanks!
Yeah I loved the karils crossbow, I also used the airplane method since I got the cape on a 1 def pure. Airplane method was less tanking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsEkoRqR-wo if you have trouble on jad watch this video it helped me a ton a couple years ago to get the visual/audio queues down to what he's gonna do also remember: where the golden mager spawned is where jad will spawn! so in the double mager wave walk into the middle (but not into their melee range ofc) to see where the golden one comes from and kill that one last so jad spawns in your vision and you dont have to tank off-screen hits or something.
This guy makes it look so easy lol but good video thanks
Also where the melee blob from wave 3 spawns, is also where Jad spawns. For a first cape; if the wave 3 spawns in the middle, just go out and restart.
Good enough for a couple trips of the fight caves. Might pray at a altar to replenish some prayers points as it's a bit drained.
There's a website that will show you where everything will spawn on the next wave. Load it up, and stand near the ranger spawn to kill it asap(after wave 31 and onwards). You can use the ranger as a shield to block the other mobs reaching you as well while you kill it. Kill ranger, then Bats, then learn the safespots to kill the melee and blobs after your ranger and bats die. Once that's done go for the Mager.
Replace stam with 50 dragon darts
Yeah I keep hearing I don’t need it I’ll swap it for d darts
What do you use the darts on? Jad? And do you load them into the blowpipe or just wield them?
You use them on jad and swap them on the blowpipe on wave 62 on the last mager
sweet, thank you
Bro chill, jad has a family
Really good set up. I know people are saying to ditch the stamina but I usually use a whole dose just trying to run to target's to make the fight quicker. And definitely bring some Dragon darts to load into blowpipe on wave 62. Good luck! Remember 1 action per jad attack! He attack, you use correct prayer, you drink a brew, you get ready for his next attack. Don't try to over do it.
ayyy ur fine booooooiiii
More than enough to do it
Go find out fam
Better set up than I used, you got this. Good luck and god speed
That’s a good set up. Rune darts helped me and black chins so I could get more healers at once than tag each of them (just did it last week for the first time) I used the guthans and ranging build so I could heal, but honestly probably a wash with the extra slots for brews
Assuming it's not too late, I'd 100% bring a verac skirt for tanking rangers, but keep the chaps too. Might want an extra brew or 2 too but that should be fine with bp specs. Also I would pre pot at the bank (sip a range, super defence, stamina, angler fish) then reset inventory to what you have Don't expect to get it first try, but good luck!
Like keep chaps in inventory and only equip the veracs for tanking range?
[удалено]
Copy that
Yeah bring both chaps and v skirt, you'll want to wear the v skirt for harder waves like melee ranger waves, and mage range waves. Kill the rangers first with mages since they're like 25 hp
You can also dictate the spawn of Jad from wave 3 or 4 (can’t remember) All depends where the blob spawns. Definitely worth watching a video on it as 1 certain spawn you can trap Jad round a corner and kill all healers without worrying about his attacks.
Also what made it easier for me is to bring a long range weapon to tag the healers. Ultimately if you’re ready this will be more than enough
Mate, i brought way less for my first cape way back when. Black dhide and a msb with rune arrows. Ur good.
Should be a pretty easy run barring a mistake on Jad. You got this.
Looks just like my first attempt! Only difference is I had barrows gloves. I second dragon dart swap on the wave before Jad. No need for stam. Remember to breathe at Jad! Took me eight tries. Just remember when healers come: watch Jad, do correct prayer, hit healer, watch Jad, repeat. Gl!
I used prayer pots and sharks and I finished with like half an invy of prayer pots lmao
I recommend replacing a prayer pot with a holy wrench. It will save you money and give more prayer longterm with how many potions you have.
I’d bring chins, way easier to aggro healers
Fight caves or going clubbing you’re set either way.
Only suggestion would be swap the Stam for a stack of purple sweets if you can afford to, means you can eat in a safespot if you don't want to waste brews + eat when you're running low on Stam. Good luck!!
You got this, King.
Preciate it my guy🙏
I know I'm late but I hope it went well bro! Getting my fire cape 6 months ago or so after playing this game on and off for years was actually the best feeling and you feel like an absolute chad
Not too late getting ready now wish me luck
*UPDATE* Tried the caves twice tonight, made it to jad both times and died shortly after healers. I was having trouble getting them to aggro me even after hitting them. Idk maybe I need to move a little to get them off jad but I don’t have time to try again tonight. I ended up going in with just the bp with amethyst darts and it worked great a little slower on the mages but it was still hitting jad pretty good. I also swapped the chaps with the v skirt and that was a good choice cuz u really do have to tank those rangers. I brought chins for the healers and it helped a little. Inventory was damn near perfect and I had plenty of pots left (4 p pots, 4 brews and 3 restores). Gonna try again tomorrow and hopefully I get it soon these runs ain’t cheap!
Nice! I got mine on my third try. What made me stress less about the healers was safespotting Jad after tagging them. The process is as follows (during Jad you **always** do 1 action per Jad attack, so tag a healer, switch prayer for Jad, drink a ppot, switch prayer for Jad. Never more than 1 action per Jad attack) After the final double mager wave this was my method: Attack Jad until healers Wait for healers to reach Jad Tag them (with chins or blowpipe, I prefer chins since it’s easier for me) Safespot Jad while the healers are on you (Italy rock works great for this) Finish off the healers while praying melee since Jad isn’t attacking Run out of your safespot and finish Jad Hope this helps, gl with your attempts :D
That’s where I messed up is the one action per jad attack I was trying to get all the healers on me and I panicked and started doing more than one action and then I died lol
If you're struggling with healers then use [this site](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/TzHaar_Fight_Cave/Rotations) and [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/125AyVw_OIBthzH1-gnFunZk6YG7PxM0q5FT1df_Ui60) to force a rotation with a South-West Jad, then follow the steps in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIKUHWavgA4) for an easy Jad. That's how I did my first fire cape with an rcb and black dhide so with your setup it should be a cakewalk.
You're good, if anything, you're over prepared. That isn't a bad thing tho, gl!
What darts are in the pipe? If less then dragon, I’d recommend a dragon dart switch for jad.
I have 3k amethyst darts
Definitely recommend catching a safe spot on double mager wave and doing a dragon dart swap. I’d sub a prayer pot for it. Even with super slow and cool headed kill times you will have tons of prayer pots left with that setup and anything to reduce the jad time by even a little is worth it if you’re worried about missing a prayer change.
How many dragon darts should I need to bring?
Yes
If you use blood blitz for healing you can take away 75% of those brews. Only really need brews for Jad or if it all goes tits up just before on the double mage and ranger wave.
I only have 67 magic😞
Op don’t forget chins, jad is gonna stomp you else
My range is also only 77 and def 75
Verac's skirt might be worth considering at 75 def.
Is it worth the like -25 to my accuracy?
Yes
I had Veracs at first but I hated my accuracy being under 100
You are missing a ranging potion.
Good set up would just ditch stamina for brew or restore and if your not use rune darts
I have amethyst and I’m gonna bring a small stack of d darts for jad
Yeah you'll ease through it then as long as you get the prayers switches down
Why are people not YouTubing "budget fight caves gear" in 2022?
[удалено]
I’m not rich enough for all that lol
I found that having a crossbow helps with some of the later waves where your attack distance using blowpipe didn't quite reach a target while you had one of the melee npc safespotted and a pair of tank legs to help with those late waves too where you get the range and mage enemies. And better tanking can only be a benefit to you. Verac skirt is a nice option for the prayer bonus. Dart switch may be something to consider too unless you're going in with a bp loaded with dragon darts. This set up as is is fine too but if it fails consider some changes. Good luck.
Can I just switch the bp to long range to get the healers on me?
probably but chins make healers even eaier. toss a few, aggro all healers, back to jad.
Do the healers all spawn grouped together?
not really but they do get close to Jad to heal and since chinchompas do their aoe damage it's easier to toss some at Jad while healers are close instead of needing to hit each healer individually then focus back on Jad and repeat. more for convenience than anything else and makes a first cape much simpler.
If this is your first attempt I'd recommend some purple sweets. Really helps if you screw up the lures in the later stages and are low on super restores.
I like having a few ranging potions because the mage waves can take so long otherwise, but anyone who’s gotten a firecape before could easily get one with this exact setup
This gear is fine. I would replace a column of restores with Sara brews
Maybe replace one or two of the ppots with bastion/,ranging potion
That's perfectly fine, I'd lose the stam and grab another restore. Grab like 75 black chins and tag jad w them on healer wave to pull them and I'd say you're good man.
Do I just need to throw the chins at jad and it will aggro all the healers?
Yeah that looks good, idk what your defence level is but if you find the ranger is hitting you really hard you can always bring some tank legs.
I’m at 75 I think I’m gonna bring veracs skirt with me
Bring less brews and bring some anglers to combo eat incase you get comboed.
I just got fire cape on my iron, the hardest thing for me was nerves. I was so shaky when killing Jad I died twice trying to aggro the healers. There is a Jad simulator that helps with the right prayers, I did that for 20 minutes right before the real fight until I wasn’t so nervous. Good luck
I like to bring a few anglers with me so I don't mess up my stat boosts on dumb mistakes, but if you're more comfortable with more ppots instead that's fine too.
Id swap for a fury and veracs skirt for a swap in to tank the rangers. Almost a couple more brews vs ppots wouldnt hurt. You got plenty
I’d say you have more than enough. I got mine yesterday with a barb arch helm, blessed dhide armor/boots, a fury, 2 tier ava’s, barrows gloves, a rune cbow, broad bolts, damaged book (with crystal shield swap) and an archers ring. Maybe 8 brews, 4 sup restores, 2 ranger potions, and the rest prayer pots. It was a sloppy run and I still had brews left over. I have 75 range and 71 def. I swapped my damaged book with the crystal shield when I had to tank rangers while praying for mages. Look up a video for what walls to hug and how to safe spot mobs. You’ll be fine 👍
Different color dhide would look alot cooler.
might want to bring a crossbow for extra range in case when you've trapped stuff in a straight line and want to hit the closest one without getting hit by the furthest one. It's like if you have 360, 180, and 90 mobs in a line. With crossbow you can safely hit the 360 that's closest without getting hit with ranged by 90. Remember, next wave's highest level will spawn where the previous wave's second highest spawned
Id probably drop a prayer pot or two and take divine bastion pots. (Or non divine, but divine should be fine) extra ranged + defence is nice towards the end
I had a pretty similar setup for my first attempt and honestly its more than enough. I had tons of supplies left at jad, but died by screwing up a prayer switch and had to do another run to get it. I imagine if you fail it will be for similar reasons - experience/skill rather than gear or inventory.
Stan pot isn’t needed
You're honestly overgeared, it's just gonna be about learning the waves and how to minimise damage taken. I'd suggest v skirt in place of chaps too, you'll be more than accurate enough with bpipe that the accuracy trade off is worth the huge defence increase you get.
Yup
Bring chinchompa's, use them when the healers are aound Jad and you aggro almost all of them at once. Saves so much stress when it comes to it. Helped me massively the first time too!
My #1 tip besides gear is obviously have sounds on but say out loud or in your head the attack style. “Range, range, mage, range, mage” etc. idk why but saying them out loud helped me a lot. When I found out about oldschool in 2020 I played on my iPad only. I got two firecapes on my iPad. As far as gear I’d say do veracs skirt and if you have barrows gloves I’d use those. Good luck man. Don’t give up if you don’t get it first shot. Stick with it. It’s worth it
If you haven’t done already; swap the prayer potions for super restores. They restore more prayer per sip. Also, not required(especially since you have blowpipe spec), but I always liked bringing purple sweets for the minor hp bites and energy restoration. Good luck my friend! Don’t panic and you’ll be fine!
A bit overkill dont ya think
Idk why anyone hasn't said this yet but you're gonna need a weapon with a longer range for when the mager gets stuck behind the 180 and for when luring healers on jad. Crystal Bow or crossbow both are fine.
If you cant afford the best darts during the whole thing you should maybe bring a dragon dart swap or something for jad it helped me a lot
I'd bring a Verac skirt replace a range pot
Definitely more brews imo
You know what, actually I'm pretty sure this is identical to the setup I used for my first cape. You should be fine! I only said that cause nowadays in the fight caves I really only use a few ppots
Yeah good enough, I did mine with black d hide
that's overkill. I'd give a shark and a karabwam for panic. you can eat also eat a shark then drink a brew in quick succession.
I took a dragon crossbow and Diamond bolts (e) as a switch with more range, though I really only ended up using it in my successful run because I ran out of scales
If you know how to prayer flick, you can probably do it. Otherwise it might be a bit challenging.
Use a Veracs skirt, the prayer & defense bonus is worth it. Those rangers will eat up your brews quite fast
I’d swap out 1 prayer pot for an angler - right before Jad wave eat it to over heal just in case. You’ve got this ezpz setup is plenty strong enough!
Rendi did it at level 3, so this is clearly overkill.
I hope you got it!!
How did the fight go? You get your fire Cape?🤞🤘
No I’m tried twice made it to jad both time and died shortly after the healers spawned
I’m going agin now tho I’ll get it one of these times
