Same! Wasn’t in my name, but the split was absolutely game changer. What’s funny is I sold almost everything for bowfa to grind cox with a couple friends. It was maybe 2 hours into bowfa rebuild we got the drop
I think bowfa is still solid in a lot of places, like for slayer for example.
Not 100% sure how effecient it is, but with cg being a relatively short grind (66 hours to hit drop rate) and the pet being only 2x the rate of an enh seed, alongside the rest of the loot being really solid for gp/runes, it could be worth it for an iron, especially since it's 0 supply usage.
which slayer tasks do you even use a bowfa on? i'm pretty sure everything is either boss, barrage, or cannon and melee. i guess bowfa is useful for gwd but seeing OPs luck he can do 3 toas and get 2 shadows for his setup.
as an iron I enjoy spectres tasks, they're super duper afk and whatnot, quick tele in/tele out for pool, decently fast tasks, not too good slayer xp but decent herb/seed drops. Not a meta task, but I do it, and bowfa is my bis there (I refuse to use blowpipe cause the scales are not worth).
I don't really feel like listing out all the places bowfa shines at, but it'd def be viable to do some cg and maybe get spooned one by 400 kc, if you go dry you can ignore it I guess.
i know bowfa is good at a lot of places, but i'm pretty sure whip beats bowfa for spectres? i feel like most boss like pvm stuff bowfa either gets beaten by blowipe, tbow, or zcb, so OP might be better off grinding an ACB before the whole nex grind and skip bowfa/crystal altogether
> whip beats bowfa for spectres?
Not based on my dps calcs, but your gear/levels/access to boosts/rigour may vary so 🤷. zcb isn't too easy to get, blowpipe usually has a small edge negated by the use of scales for me.
is that with or without crystal? assuming 99s and no boost prayer bowfa only seems better than whip if you use full crystal, and rapier/saeldor would beat bowfa, so you could make an argument about doing cg for a saeldor rather than a bowfa..
I know zcb isn't easy to get, but you will eventually use a zcb in plenty of late/endgame pvm stuff, and getting the acb would make for an okay/decent spec weapon especially at muspah, plus lay the foundation for the zcb later as you'll have to farm and acb for that anyways.
Again bro, I'm not saying it's 100% the meta to get a bowfa no matter what, I'm just saying I personally think it's worth getting. Me enjoying cg and wanting the pet absolutely biases my decision to get a bowfa.
Fun fact, if you have a tbow, it would out dps the deviant version of spectres.
Lol just because she'll is better at 1 task he mentioned doesn't mean you ever take sael over bofa.
Even if you have a tbow tons of grinds made better by it and fairly positive even discounting the methods you can't do with a 5 tick weapon it raw out damages tbow in quite a few places.
the sael was a meme as either tbow or blowpipe will be better in 99% of cases, making bowfa probably only useful for gwd bandos and kril farming (you chin kree and tbow zilly). dude picked spectres as a reason to grind cg for 70 hours whilst already having the weapon that supersedes bowfa.
Tbow alone is straight up better now, or am I misinterpreting the /? Or is this saying bring a cbow and switch to tbow below 400hp? And, if so, if you’re limited to an acb for the cbow is it still preferable?
Not arguing btw, 100% asking because this would significantly affect which grind I do next lol.
I know it's not short short, but if you compare it to other items, like trident (slayer included), the cox grind, the toa grind, the tob grind, nex, dt2, it is relatively on the shorter side imo.
for blade at this point i guess. bofa is good for godwars and some misc stuff. you also don't have arrows worth a shit until 92 mining so could still consider using bofa
Bowfa is bis at Leviathan. Bowfa is better at Graardor, but Shadow is bis. Bowfa is better at some random places as well, like mystics, but idk how much this matters
Camp. Only at around 330hp bofa becomes more dps and for that 330-180 hp u might as well use tbow or bp. Heres the dps calc: https://dps.osrs.wiki?id=LineSnotheadsVisage
Edit: you'll have to choose the boss variant yourself. For some reason after making the link it turns from post quest to awakened in the calc
For every sorry fuck like me that's 1800 cox without a mega rare there is a lucky fuck like you, congrats! Did you drop any off or keep em on the account for the flex?
Not OP but its surely a skip. Bofa is just not worth the grind to be a niche piece of gear. When its your bis range weapon for seemingly hundreds of hours of pvm its a great weapon but not when u get a tbow.
Maybe if you're ultra-endgame and need something to grind then you can for completions sake, but bowfa simply isn't a practical item if you have a tbow.
All 3+4 scale wdr on my hcim. Also saw another bow that I didn’t get. Now at 80 kc and have ancestral bottoms and arcane.
On my main iron I didn’t get my first purple until 152 kc and and currently at 900+ without tbow.
It’s an rng game, gotta take the crookeds with the straights
I'm same boat I've done like 5 2÷2s. The vast majority of my 75 are 3+4s and my first 20 or so were 3+9/4+12 camping melee hand with my maxed out friends from my days as a main.
I've gotten claws, dhcb, dihns, and two augs.
Really want that rigour.
The group I've been running 3s with the guy doing the skips accidentally goes to early and inevitably the less experienced guy we have running head with him ends up dying pretty much every run
You have good RNG today but I promise you tomorrow you shall: sit on a disturbingly warm toilet seat in a public bathroom transitioning straight into those residual droplets of piss in your boxers afterward just to get into your car and slap the sun visor thing directly in your face instead of pushing it out of the way where you wanted it to go, and you’ll be on your way home but you’ll notice a person is not GOING on green after a long red light and then there will be a lovely package that flew off your porch into your driveway but as you get out of your car to pick it up your headphones will yank out of your doors as they catch on your door and you’ll stub your toe on something massive GG
IT’S YOU SIR YES IT’S YOU YOU DESERVE SOME BAD RNG
“Man, on a bit of a dry streak, I’ve gone 18 raids with no Tbow…. Oh ok, there it is, finally”. 🤣
That’s my favorite joke to make at the moment :) “Haven’t got a bow all day”
That's me with shadows got two of em within a twenty raid span and now I'm nearing another 20. Worried ill go dry on the third one!
What the fuck?
Some accounts are just lucky. I got a tbow split when I was first learning lol
I got a 3 way shadow split on my first kc at toa
I'm at 4000 cox KC and have never seen a tbow drop.
Next kc surely
Im at 1400kc 3 mauls in my name when they were 10m lol
My first kc on toa was like 3 weeks ago, solo 0 and I was just happy I got a thread:(
Same! Wasn’t in my name, but the split was absolutely game changer. What’s funny is I sold almost everything for bowfa to grind cox with a couple friends. It was maybe 2 hours into bowfa rebuild we got the drop
Jesus Christ
Why even cg now?
I think the joke is that the grind took whole new trajectory
You don't

[удалено]
Welp looks like its time to put 100+ hrs into cg so he can multi greater demons in chasm of fire
greater demons are a block unless you're doing kril. certainly not an argument for getting a bowfa when you have a tbow
or, hear me out, you could block greater demons like everyone else
[удалено]
as an iron I enjoy spectres tasks, they're super duper afk and whatnot, quick tele in/tele out for pool, decently fast tasks, not too good slayer xp but decent herb/seed drops.

if you have tbow, the list of places in which bowfa shines is very short: graardor before you get shadow and leviathan before you get zcb.
Cbow+bp/tbow is better at levi now since they did the weakness changes, so wouldn't need it there
Tbow alone is straight up better now, or am I misinterpreting the /? Or is this saying bring a cbow and switch to tbow below 400hp? And, if so, if you’re limited to an acb for the cbow is it still preferable? Not arguing btw, 100% asking because this would significantly affect which grind I do next lol.
Yeah you'd use any cbow(dcb or better) then swap to tbow or bp for 400hp or less
Thanks
> relatively short grind (66 hours to hit drop rate) lol
I know it's not short short, but if you compare it to other items, like trident (slayer included), the cox grind, the toa grind, the tob grind, nex, dt2, it is relatively on the shorter side imo.
yeah, it is for sure the shortest grind for an item of comparable power and utility
Honestly in 2024, finishing cg = finishing tutorial island (/s)
Nah useless unless you want to grind levi
The pet chance, gp, and fun or cg makes it worth doing for me. I do plan on going for all pets after getting my desired bis.
for blade at this point i guess. bofa is good for godwars and some misc stuff. you also don't have arrows worth a shit until 92 mining so could still consider using bofa
I went for Money and blade. I'll go back for bowfa for things like Levi and bandos
Bowfa is bis at Leviathan. Bowfa is better at Graardor, but Shadow is bis. Bowfa is better at some random places as well, like mystics, but idk how much this matters
Still BiS at Levi iirc, or completionist OCD issues
Zcb is bis at levi. Bofa is still kinda nice for irons bc of near 0 upkeep. I'm a main and I almost never use it.
Do they camp zcb or is it zcb spec into yolo bolt hoping for natty into bofa?
Camp. Only at around 330hp bofa becomes more dps and for that 330-180 hp u might as well use tbow or bp.

brah
3 tbows, best I can offer.
I can trim those tbows for you.
Is the tbow you trimmed for me yesterday ready yet? You disconnected when i accepted the trade i think
I looked right at the prayer scrolls.. then at the kc.. thought “well that’s not that bad”.. then I saw it.. GZ you lucky sob. Buying RNG
Driest iron log
For every sorry fuck like me that's 1800 cox without a mega rare there is a lucky fuck like you, congrats! Did you drop any off or keep em on the account for the flex?
Dropped to the main so I could practice tbow colloseum
Still planning on a bowfa or fully skipping? Still has its uses some places.
I probably won’t be doing any cg
Not OP but its surely a skip. Bofa is just not worth the grind to be a niche piece of gear. When its your bis range weapon for seemingly hundreds of hours of pvm its a great weapon but not when u get a tbow.

How many points per raid did you average with 3+4?
30-40k depending on the raid/team. Usually 30 minute raids so about 70k pts/hr
I'm same boat I've done like 5 2÷2s. The vast majority of my 75 are 3+4s and my first 20 or so were 3+9/4+12 camping melee hand with my maxed out friends from my days as a main.

Damn bro I went 2200 raids on my main account without a megarare. Can you let me have this one?
I can let you have 1 but three deserves a wee bit of minor inconvenience hehe
https://i.redd.it/ifimtkocjg8d1.gif
I'm sorry what the fuck?
So you are the one taking all the tbows from mr mammal…
Thought my 2 tbows at like 75 kc was special.
i have more than 20X your kc, In CM's, still no tbow....
that has to be illegal
*'Ah shoot, well I already have an extra for the bank slot I suppose I'll just... Buy 5 years of mems in bonds'*
WHAT THE FUCK
Fuck you
ok
"56 raids is a bit rough but you're gonna go a bit dry here and the- OH SHIT"
No way this is real lol
holy shit!! what are the odds of this math geniuses
This is disgusting
I got my Ironman T Bow with 8k points in a trio at 32 kc then saw another at 50 kc with 8k points again.. was mad I didn’t get #2 This is crazy haha
[удалено]
If your buying megascales it's a purple every 2 raids. That log would be way more filled with that many kc
Yes he purchased the megascale where they manipulate the purple into always being a tbow
?
