[New hcim series ep 1 :D]

Yeah I guess, even tho I also play iron man I bought the bonds with GP and also won a giveaway for 150 vote credits, so in the end it's worth for me  will probably end up collecting all the scrolls

[New hcim series ep 1 :D]

Good stuff - Btw I bought the barrows tp scroll, I thought it doesn't teleport you as close since the barrows scroll was in the store  good tips

 

 

 

[Something extra]

Amazing idea, love it

big support

[Zenyte Account Program]

Sounds good on paper, however if the rewards are not only cosmetic it would incentivize people to create alts through a VPN and getting the rewards without much effort.

I think a more appropriate referral threshold would be 2,000 total level, 200+ hours played or something like that.

 

But in any case, most of the referral systems I've seen where the rewards were compelling enough, were exploited.

Idk tho I could totally see it working out if it was implemented correctly.

[Guide to killing revenants]

Skip the beginning of the guide and go to "4. Gear/inventory setup and main farming spot location" if you're already established or not an iron man.

 

1. Starting from scratch: Buy a staff of fire, 1,000 mind and 2,000 air runes from Edalf for a total of 13,560 gp. We will be casting fire strike on Revenant Imps and Revenant Goblins untill Bracelet of ethereum drops. Buy a Royal seed pod for 30,000 bounty points (Trade Emblem trader behind slayer master Krystilia). Make sure to right click the pod > configure > tp destination: Edgeville. I wouldn't recommend other teleports since seed pod has unlimited charges, always protects on death and is an instant teleport when clicked (no dialogue box/confirmation box).

 

2. How to get there:

Zenyte portal -> Category: Wilderness -> Wilderness canoe pond. It will teleport you next to the small water lake, run up and left to reach the level 40 wilderness cave entrance.

 

3. Setup for farming the first bracelet:

Red path: 1 imp and 1 goblin

Yellow path: wouldn't recommend, the path is where everyone runs in and out of the cave and there's only one low level imp here.

I you don't have 75 agility to use the 2 shortcuts on the red path, go to the yellow x and run past the revenant dragon (purple x). Dragon is the strongest revenant in the cave, if you're going this way bring some food, every other revenant in the area will also focus you. They attack using magic and ranged and will adapt based on what overhead protection prayer you're using.

edit: if you're higher health/have pray mage go down on the yellow path through the dragon area to the red x.

After getting to the red x spot: 

 

Stand on the 3 marked tiles and attack the Imp and Goblin, one attack to get them to focus you, they will walk down to the 1 marked tile and you can safely loot the drops. If a pker comes, run down to 30 and seed pod out.

This is the hardest and most grindy part of the whole process. You need a bracelet to become immune to revenant attacks and to be able to run deeper into the cave without getting comboed out by all the revenants since it's a multi combat area. After the first bracelet, you can attack higher combat level revs, they will drop bracelets very often.

I don't think it's worth attacking revenant pyrefiend in this spot, his magic defense is higher and he resists a fair bit of the damage + you have to run deeper in to tag him, his first attack can freeze you in place where the dragon can attack you. It's safer to go for the imp/goblin.

Bracelet of ethereum: Loses 1 charge every time a revenant hits you. You will slowly lose the charges since revs will hit you more than the amount of ethereum they drop. Disasemble a few bracelets you get after, charge your main one and check the charges from time to time. Enable automatic ethereum collection on the bracelet. The bracelet and the thereum in it is also always dropped on death.

4. Gear/inventory setup and main farming spot location:

Your best weapon (whip or dragon scimitar recommended), salve amulet (40 slayer pts: trade Krystilia), charged Bracelet of ethereum. Grab a skull (Emblem Trader behind Krystilia). Make sure to bring a prayer potion/super restore, if you get attacked restore your prayer so you don't get smited for your weapon. Super attack/strength and looting bag optional.

 

main spot:

Attack Revenant Ork and Revenant Dark beast. Dark beast is the one im currently attacking on the screenshot and Ork respawns in the U shaped wall above me. With the right stats and gear (99combat stats,dscim or whip,salve amulet,pots) you can alternate between these 2 spawns with no downtime. (if they die quicker and the other one hasn't respawned, attack the low level goblin for a quick kill)

Plugins: Enable "Player Indicators" and check "draw tiles under player" + "Draw names on minimap" + "Highlight non clan members" as you can see on the screenshot, this makes it super easy to see the people running around, if you see anyone running towards you just teleport out and come back without any loot. Also if you're in the Zenyte cc, it's better to leave it because then the colour of the players in the same cc will be purple and they won't be highlighted. Another useful plugin is "Tile indicators", you can mark the 30+ wilderness border by shift right clicking the ground (gray line in the screenshot above)

If you run into a PKer at the cave entrance, hop in and out of the entrance, make sure to mind game them and click out, in, out and then stay out and log, or the oter way around. They will most likely try to predict your clicks and go back in, while you stay out and log. You can then scout untill they leave to log back. If you run into a PKer further inside, between the entrance and the rev cave you can just log and scout or wait a bit before logging back. This becomes a non issue after you get your first bracelet as ironman or have 89 agility.

89 agility route (best): Category: Wilderness -> Forinthry dungeon. It will teleport you next to the lvl 17 wilderness cave entrance, go in and run up through Hellhounds>Green dragons>Greater demons, first, second and third room on the red path. Hop over the 89 shortcut and you will be directly in the main spot. You are always below 30 wilderness and can teleport out at any time. This path makes farming revs extremely safe and only dangerous when you're not paying attention.

 

5. If you're going to kill lots of revs, you should be skulled -> drop table with and without skull (source)

As you can see it's not worth killing them without a skull, If you're killing higher level revs, average 1/200 to hit the good drop table then you roll 0-13 for a valuable drop, instead of the chance to roll 13+ on top of an already low chance to get the good drop table roll. Most of the money comes from the ancient statues, when you get one you can trade it in for gp at the emblem trader. From what i've seen he's always above ankous, directly left from the level 40 wilderness entrance.

 

6. Ways PKers will try to kill you, from most dangerous to least, and how they can be avoided:

1. logging in under you, on the spot you're currently at, quick reaction speed and teleport, your mouse should always be on the seed pod, if you suddenly see red text on the screen, teleport. Keep in mind you will see their character earlier than they see yours. When you log in, the account appears in game about half a second earlier for people that are already logged in. This and the time they take to cast teleblock is your chance to teleport out.

2. players running in in pvm gear and killing revenants for a while, don't get too comfortable around them since they can teleblock you for their friend who is a PKer or they might attack you. This is why if someone is too close to you, hug the corners so they have to path awkwardly if they want to TB and bank after a decent drop. 

3. running in through the cave, casting teleblock on you. If you see someone running towards you, teleport out. If you don't have much loot on you and they're in pvm gear you can stay and see if they're there to kill revs. However if you see any mage gear pieces, always teleport.

4. Using the 89 agility shortcut. The agility shortcut has a long animation, if you see someone jumping across, teleport out. Even if they complete the shortcut there is still a small delay before they can cast anything (about 1 second after they land on the other side) so it shouldn't be a problem to escape from.

If you get caught, have protect item on quick prayer and use a dose of super restore/prayer potion so you don't get smited for your weapon.

In all my time at revs (about 2200 kills so far) I only died once when I started because a pker appeared on my screen and teleblocked me. This is because they logged in under me -> don't get too comfortable here even if you don't see anyone for a few hours.

 

7. Loot:

Rune/dragon: alched, good chunk of gp is from alchables here

Runite ore/bars + onyx bolt tips: Make onyx bolts, enchant them, then alch them for 9k gp each. Every onyx bolt tip drop is worth 45-90k - very common drop, adds up quickly.

Ancient statues: turn in at the emblem trader, bulk of the gp comes from these.

Bracelets of ethereum: Alch surplus bracelets for 43k gp each. Always keep a few in the bank if you die and lose your charged one.

Black dragonhide: Craft dragonhide bodies and alch them for 8k gp each.

Magic logs: fletch Magic longbow (u) and alch them for 768 gp each. (pickpocket elves for nature runes).

Dragonstones: craft dragonstone bracelets and alch them for 11,500 gp each (enchant them into combat bracelets for 12,600 gp each).

Other stuff is good supplies - super restores, manta rays, adamant for darts/diamond bolts, planks for when construction comes out etc...

If you don't alch while skilling/don't want to alch, go over to the bandit camp general store and bulk sell your noted items at high alchemy price. 

 

Scouting (if you don't have 89 agility or just want an extra layer of protection):

Make a fresh lvl 3 alt, park it at the main entrance and position it above you so you can see anyone who goes in and out the cave.

Alternatively you can make the same alt account but drop/trade 2 bracelets to it, disasemble one into 250 ether and equip it, and park it more inside the cave to see all the activity in the cave. The view distance is low so your reaction time might not be fast enough, in that case you want to use an alt scout both to give yourself more time to react and some peace of mind.

 

If the cave is packed and there's PKers camping it, try at different times/avoid peak time. From my experience there is a spike in activity when the US players log in. If you share your time zone with the US, try in the morning or later in the evening. I'm from central europe and 6 hours behind the US, so your rev cave experience can differ.

 

A few pics of the loot you can expect to get from revs: (I wasn't using the loot tracker plugin for most of my kills, first image I got lucky with the statue drops and the other 2 are average loot from revs which you can always expect)

 

TLDR: get 89 agility, whip/dscim, skull up, tp to Forinthry Dungeon, use agility shortcut, when you see a pker teleport out + bank valuables, repeat.

 

Good luck
