In recent years, the information available to players who want to learn PVM has improved dramatically. The increase in information makes PVM more accessible to players. But meanwhile, Combat system itself and the bosses released have become increasingly complex.

For players who want to get into PVM, this can be extremely difficult. Because the amount of information to learn can be daunting, and it's hard to understand where to start. So in this guide, I want to share my advice on how to get started with PVM.

Before Entering

Before getting into the specific steps, I want you to remember three things.

First, you don’t need the best gear to get started. As with most bosses you’ll face, there’s a lot of leeway in the equipment you can use. You can often take on the same bosses with much lower gear, especially if you’re taking on “novice” or “intermediate” bosses.

High-level PVM players are looking for the fastest, most efficient kills, but you don’t have to do that when you first start learning. Your goal is just to improve your PVM skills and get kills. If you try to wait until you have all the best gear, you’ll never start PVM.

Second, don’t worry about death. As a PVM player, you need to accept death. The penalty for death is no longer as harsh as it once was, and all you have to do is pay a few RS3 Gold. 

Third, don’t be overwhelmed. Actions speak louder than thoughts. From boss mechanics to ability rotations, there’s going to be a lot of information here. But sometimes, things don’t make sense unless you’re in the fight. Similar to gear, if you wait until you know everything about bosses and PVM, you’ll never get started.

With these general suggestions out of the way, let’s talk about how to actually get into PVM.

Combat Styles

First, we need to decide which Combat Style to use. You should eventually learn all Combat Styles, but which starting Combat Style you choose will help you become familiar with the combat mechanics.

While the game has reached the point where most bosses can be completed with any style, certain Combat Styles will make certain bosses easier.

I’m assuming here that you don’t have a specific boss goal in mind. Here, I would recommend Necromancy as your starting style. Compared with other styles, Necromancy is relatively simple and the equipment is easier to get. Plus, its damage output is currently insane. This means you’ll have a better time learning PVM using Necromancy.

If you don’t want to use Necromancy, my second choice would be Magic because of its versatility and utility in many bosses.

The style I don’t recommend you learn is Melee. While Melee is powerful in certain situations, it lacks range and must be right next to a boss to attack, making it a hard style for beginners.

Not to mention that Melee’s ultimate ability, Berserk, requires you to take more damage in order to deal more damage. While this is great for experienced PVM players, for beginners, the extra damage you take can be downright scary.

Gear

Now that we have selected Combat Style, we need to prepare ourselves. Having decent gear will change your PVM experience.

While you don’t need to have the best gear here, you shouldn’t skip getting decent gear and go straight to the boss. Having the right gear will make your experience much easier.

Weapons have the greatest impact on your combat experience, as the differences between each weapon class are usually more noticeable than armor. For Necromancy, this means we should go for the highest level Death Guard and Skull Lantern.

Once you have your weapons, you’ll also need some armor. While Power Armor is usually preferred, at this point either Power or Tank Armor will do, it just depends on what you can get. Of course, make sure the armor you get is the same style as your weapon, as there are severe penalties for using the wrong armor style.

Finally, you can use invention and enhance your equipment with some beginner perks. Again, similar to upgrade priority, if you need a choice, choose to upgrade your weapons first.

Boss Tips

Once we had our gear sorted, we moved on to the hardest part, the actual PVM.

Now I will divide the boss’ learning into two parts, learning the combat mechanism and the boss mechanism. Combat mechanics include what abilities to use, your key bindings, managing your potions and food, and more. Boss mechanics include understanding and responding to boss attacks.

You need to learn both, but you’ll have a hard time learning both at the same time. Therefore, we first need to decide what we want to learn.

I think it makes the most sense to improve the combat mechanics first. Being slightly familiar with the combat mechanics can make the boss’ learning process faster and easier.

Combat Mechanics

For combat mechanics, I recommend arranging the keys in order first. The keys you need to bind are your Prayer, Food and Saradomin Brew, and Shield Switch.

If you set up key bindings from the start, it also means you don’t need to rebind and forget your PVM habits later. However, I would like to point out that this step is completely optional.

Once you have a combat setup, you could take that setup to something as simple as Slayer to test it out. After a few Slayer missions, you should be happy with your setup, which you can then apply to the actual boss.

Boss Mechanic

For boss mechanics, my suggestion is to start with a simple solo boss. I think Zamorak boss in God Wars Dungeon, K’ril Tsutsaroth, is a good choice.

K’ril is a fairly simple boss with a special attack that drains a lot of your health. Use K’ril to continue practicing your combat mechanics while also tackling boss fights more easily.

If you think K’ril is too easy, you can challenge God Wars Dungeon 2 boss, Vindicta. Vindicta has quite a few mechanics that require you to react and move when needed.

Once you’re familiar with killing Vindicta, you can further refine your combat mechanics. The first thing you need to do is add an Adrenaline Potion to your inventory, and learn ultimate rotation. Using ultimate rotation is key in all PVM fights to maximize the damage you do in that time frame.

Once you’re satisfied with ultimate rotation and killing Vindicta, you can move on to challenge Helwyr. Helwyr requires you to use some defensive measures, as well as bind a shield.

Once you’re able to consistently kill Helwyr and Vindicta, you could start to feel more comfortable with your combat abilities. At this point, you should also be able to make some money with these two bosses, so you can consider upgrading your gear.

At this stage, you should be able to deal with decent damage while also being able to deal with the boss’ mechanics effectively.

If you do wish to continue improving your abilities, I suggest the next steps are to kill Araxxor, then Telos. Both bosses will teach you how to better use defenses, how to prayer flick, and how to deal with multiple boss stages with different and more complex mechanics.

Note that Araxxor is a pretty big step up from Helwyr. If you get stuck, you can use Arch-Glacor and Kerapac as an intermediate step to get more PVM experience. Both bosses are available in normal and hard modes, so you can start off easy and increase the difficulty as needed.

I believe that if you can kill Araxxor and Telos, you can kill every boss in the game. If you’re starting over, here’s everything you need to know about starting PVM in 2024. I hope this PVM guide is helpful to you.

In this RS3 guide, I discuss 5 different tips to help new and returning players set up their accounts and reach the endgame of the game, whether maxing out or entering PVM.

Complete Quests

In RuneScape 3, you can visit RuneScape Wiki and find a list of the best tasks. It will give you a list of all the best tasks you need to complete on the screen. This is a great way to plan and figure out which task you should work on next.

But there are a ton of really useful unlockable locked behind quests, so it’s important to start ticking them off. There are 259 missions in the game so far, so completing them all is definitely a long-term goal.

But some tasks are very important. So I’ve created a complete guide on some quests that can lead to important rewards. Here are some tasks you should strive to complete.

The first is Waterfall Quest, which can be completed on a brand new account. This is a great start, as you do get quite a bit of Attack and Strength XP out of it. So you can skip those early levels and complete the mission.

When starting your account, you also have tasks like Smoking Kills, which are very important for Slayer and creating Slayer Helmet.

You also have Fairy Tale Quest Series. It will give you Magic Secateurs and also unlock Fairy Rings.

There are many other World Wakes-like missions here. It offers you three original Combat Styles.

Then you have some high-end tasks like Extinction. It gets you Passive Ring Of Vigour, Fate of the Gods, and Plague’s End.

The list of such examples is long. So there are a lot of important tasks to complete. These tasks are very important to your account. Not only will you get good XP rewards from the tasks, it will also help you slowly build your account. By the end, if you were to complete every mission in the game, you would actually have a very high premium account.

Dailies

Another thing that will really help build your account slowly over time is completing your dailies.

There are lots of different types of dailies out there, but one of my favorites is getting Vis wax. You only need level 50 Runecrafting to access Runecrafting Guild. You can earn around 1 million gold per day using this method. So this is really helpful for those lower-level accounts.

Another useful daily is the farm run. So in my case, I usually run Herb Farm as it does give you a bit of farming XP. But you can also earn quite a bit of RS3 Gold from it.

If you’re a new player and you want to train your farming, you’ll need to spend a little time figuring out what Herb Patches and Tree Patches are, and where everything is. But once you get into the habit, it’s a great way to train your farming skills.

There are other things that are monthly or weekly tasks. My highly recommended monthly Beneath Cursed Tides, Giant Oyster. You can go talk to Wizard Myrtle, and then go down and check on your Oyster once a month.

The nice thing about Giant Oyster is that not only do you get Clue Scroll rewards, you can also train fishing and farming from it. So it’s definitely a good idea to complete these. It will help build your account by earning these pretty decent XP every day.

Set Attainable Goals

The next tip is to set achievable goals. If you want to get a really incredible weapon that takes a long time to get, you should actually break the goal down into different things. This is easier to achieve.

Just setting those goals and completing them over time will really help build your account. If your goals are unachievable, this can actually lead to burnout. You don’t end up completing your goals, which just makes you lose motivation to play the game and stop doing what you’re supposed to be doing.

Take Advantage Of Double XP

If you want your account to reach the ultimate goal of becoming a premium player, then taking advantage of Double XP campaign is definitely the best way to do it.

What I mean is that you can train your purchasable skills during Double XP. Not only will you get the job done twice as fast, but you’ll also save a ton of money.

Another strategy is to focus on skills you really dislike. So for me, I do use my viable skills on Double XP. But I also trained some skills that I really hated.

So when there is a quarterly Double XP event. I highly recommend you focus on the purchasable skills first. Then, once you’ve done that, start picking out those skills that you really hate training. Because that’s obviously half the time you spend training your skills.

Join A Community And Do What You Enjoy

My last suggestion is more general. There are tons of different communities in the game that you can join to connect with other people who play the game. You can try to achieve goals together, or go out and do some PVM tasks together. Often, playing games with other people really makes things more interesting.

The other thing is, do what you enjoy. Some things in RuneScape really aren’t enjoyable. But really, I recommend that you focus on things you really enjoy rather than forcing yourself to achieve a goal all at once. This can really help you prevent burnout. It just makes the game more fun in the long run.

Anyway, I really hope you guys find these tips helpful. I just wanted to share some tips and tricks to help new players set up their account and eventually reach the highest level. Because this is what many people strive to achieve. See you in the game!

If you’re planning on taking on a boss in RuneScape 3, but want to know what account goals you should complete before doing so, then this guide is for you. In this RS3 guide, I cover the 7 most important account goals you need to complete before you start facing high level bosses.

Choose A Combat Style

Before you decide to challenge a boss, the first thing I suggest you do is figure out what Combat Style you want to use.

Now, there are four Combat Styles in RuneScape 3, namely Melee, Ranged, Magic and Necromancy. As of early 2024, Necromancy is the best Combat Style in RuneScape. It’s also the easiest to learn and adapt to.

So, if you are new to the game and want to challenge a boss, but don’t really have a Combat Style in mind that you want to use, then I recommend using Necromancy. Because it is a beginner friendly. There aren’t too many complicated mechanics here, you just have to follow a standard rotation.

Once you choose Combat Style, you could start to understand the abilities. If you choose Necromancy, you have its basic abilities. Your auto-attacks are just Necromancy’s basic abilities, such as Soul Sap and Touch of Death.

You can use Soul Strike to stun a target, or Volley of Souls to unleash all your stacks for powerful abilities.

Therefore, it is important to learn Combat Style and know which abilities to use. Once you know what abilities you have at your disposal, you’ll be able to adapt them to different bossing situations.

Unlock Abilities

The second goal you should strive to achieve is to unlock certain abilities through your Combat Style. Therefore, if you use Necromancy, you will need to unlock various abilities through Well of Souls.

Living Death would certainly be your first choice, but this requires level 76 Necromancy. You can also choose from three different Conjures to unlock Conjure and Command abilities from Spirit Pack and Darkness. And these unique abilities are really helpful for Necromancy.

Another ability that is almost essential for bossing is Devotion. This is a Threshold Defense ability. You need 50% Adrenaline to use it.

It increases the effectiveness of your Protection Prayers to 100% for 9.6 seconds. So this is crucial for a lot of different bosses.

Devotion can be obtained in a few different ways, one of which is by paying 3,500 bonus currency from Distractions and Diversions in Anima Islands. But more commonly, it is a rare item dropped by a General Graardor, Aviansie or Bandosian follower.

Devotion is an ability needed to face many bosses and is also a necessary condition for challenging bosses.

There is another ability that requires work. You don’t need to get it before fighting the boss, but it will definitely be helpful for some ultimate bosses, namely Disruption Shield.

Disruption Shield is an excellent endgame spell. It’s in Lunar spell book and does cost 290,000 Produce Points.

The easiest way to earn Produce Points is to purchase Livid Plants. So if you ever check out Traveling Merchant’s Shop and see some Livid Plants for sale, just buy them to earn Produce Points. And over time, you’ll eventually unlock Disruption Shield.

Unlock Curses

The next goal is to unlock curses. This requires players to complete Temple at Senntisten Quest. This does require a lot of skills and tasks. But the most helpful one for the main Curse is Soul Split.

Soul Split now heals players for 10% of the damage dealt. So you get passive healing. If you deal with a lot of damage at once, you’ll be able to recover a lot from it.

When you actually start fighting bosses, you’ll notice that many bosses sometimes have a Prayer Flicking mechanic. Flicking allows players to use Prayer in combat without continually depleting their Prayer Points. Skilled players will turn on Prayer effect immediately before needing it. This will prevent Prayer from constantly draining between attacks.

When you switch from Protection Prayers or Deflect Curses to Soul Split and back, it just gives you some passive healing while also protecting yourself from incoming hits. Therefore, Soul Split is also very helpful for curses. This is a better version of Protection Prayers, except it deflects some damage back to the target.

Train Summoning

Another really useful goal is to have a high Summoning level. This is mainly to unlock Beast of Burden.

At level 96, you get Pack yak that holds 30 extra slots. So you can fill it with food, which makes defeating the boss easier. Summoned at level 67 you get War Tortoise with 18 sockets. This is doable for intermediate players, and getting to level 67 isn’t as difficult as level 96 Summoning.

Also, having a high Summoning level is also very helpful for using other available familiars. For example, Hellhound only requires Summoning level 45, but they absorb 20% of damage by taking hits. Blood Reaver is great for Poison builds, which require level 73 Summoning. Then there’s the level 90 Kal’gerion demon, which increases your critical hit chance.

Overloads

The next account goal is to create Overloads. Overloads require a level 96 Herblore to level up. So once you get level 96 Herblore, you can create Overloads.

This is a potion that increases your combat statistics. One of the major benefits of these potions is that it is a static increase. This means that after 6 minutes, it won’t decrease over time, making the stat boost disappear completely.

T70+ Gear

One of the next major goals you should strive to achieve is to get at least level 70+ gear.

Now, Necromancy is one of the easier skills to get this armor. This is a good starting point. At least level 70 gear can be obtained through Necromancy, then creating your own level 70, 80, and 90 gear isn’t that difficult. So we need to work hard to reach at least level 70.

But when you reach level 80 combat statistics, you need to continue working towards the next level. The first thing you need to try is getting a new weapon. DPS is the most important. Especially if you have Curses and Soul Split. Because the more damage you do, the more health you heal.

Invention Perks

Finally, the seventh tip is to get Invention Perks. Invention Perks can greatly increase your DPS. Therefore, they are very helpful when you challenge the boss.

You can even spend RS3 Gold to get some Invention Perks on your weapons. And your armor Invention Perks can easily increase your DPS by at least 10%.

And you can also get other perks on your armor, such as Impatient, which generates more Adrenaline. Or if you use Necromancy, you can get extra perks like Invigorating. This will help you generate more Adrenaline in Necromancy basic attacks or automatic attacks that check resources.

It really helps to get some starter perks in your combat gear. Because it can really help you improve your ability to handle certain mechanics and kill bosses faster.

These are my seven account goals before taking on the boss. If you complete all seven objectives, then you can at least start facing the boss!

Are you still worried about Raksha, the Shadow Colossus in RuneScape 3? Have you ever been stuck in Raksha and been unable to move forward? To overcome this challenge, be sure not to miss this Raksha guide. I will share how to defeat Raksha without any effort.

Prepare

Before we deal with Raksha, the Shadow Colossus, we need to find their location.

You need to complete some mini-quests before starting. In fact, this is a fairly short mini-quest for you, and shouldn’t be too difficult to overcome. They classify the difficulty level as Novice, so you should be able to breeze through it.

Typically, quests and mini-quests do have some form of requirements, including skill and item requirements. But that’s not a problem here as there are no requirements to complete Raksha mini-quest.

However, when you get to Raksha boss itself, we have some skill suggestions. You should make sure your Attack, Defense, Strength, Ranged, Magic and Invention are at least level 99. Meanwhile, level 67 Summoning, 95 Prayer, and 96 Herblore for Overloads will become the minimum standards for entering combat.

We first need to complete a small quest so that we can gain access to Raksha, the Shadow Colossus.

First, talk to Laniakea, who is located in the ruins southeast of Anachronia. From here, head west up the stairs, where you’ll need to siphon Shadow Anima Pool until it reaches 100%. This will cause you to lose 200 health points each time, so keep that in mind.

After that, go down the stairs and open the door near the pool. You’ll then be stalked into the dungeon by Laniakea, then quickly exit due to Shadow Anima’s toxicity.

You will then need to head east to the chamber entrance and talk to Zaros. Several cut-scenes play, with some dialogue in between, before Shadow Anima Container that teleports Raksha is interrupted. Keeper will engage in further dialogue before the mini-quest is completed.

Best Strategy

Before we delve into how to defeat Raksha, let’s give a little background on this monster.

Raksha is a rex dinosaur that can be used as either a single boss or a double boss. We can only fight it after completing the previously mentioned mini-quest.

Zaros removed Shadow Anima, interrupting Raksha’s slumber. Your mission is to subdue this rex dinosaur after its long hibernation.

When fighting a boss solo, Raksha has 800,000 health points. However, in a two-player battle, its health is doubled.

What you need to pay attention to is the high-precision attacks that Raksha has, with Attack and Ranged level 110 and Magic level 120. Its unprotected attack can deal over 5,000 points of damage, while its protected attack has 1,100-1,200 points of damage.

As for Raksha’s defense, his defense level is 85. He may seem intimidating at first glance as he has no real weaknesses, but he is the weakest when it comes to Ranged attacks.

Also, Raksha is immune to Stuns and Poison, but Leech and Reflect damage can come in handy.

Phase 1

In Raksha’s Phase 1, it will use auto-attack, as well as Tail Whip and Charge Attack. Plus, you have a Shadow Bomb to deal with.

If the battle drags on, Shockwaves may occur. Therefore, you need to continue attacking the boss and try to end this stage as quickly as possible. Don’t forget to use your Prayer and Defense to block his attacks.

Phase 2

In his Phase 2, you will occasionally receive a message informing you that Raksha is using Shadow Energy to inflict poison damage on you. You will see Raksha spawn Shadow Orbs around the player and then launch a powerful attack.

You need to click on Shadow Orb twice to evict it. You will receive a message when they are completely evicted. He will again try to use Shadow Blast attack siphoned from the pool. So please try to clean all pools before proceeding.

Phase 3

In Phase 3, Raksha speeds up the absorption of Shadow Anima. A message will appear and Raksha will anchor you in the shadows. This will summon a Shadow Manifestation for every player in the arena, giving them 10,000 health at level 160. So it’s best to deal with them as soon as possible to avoid dealing with them and Raksha at the same time.

Next, Keeper will tell you to run into Antechamber due to the severity of the shadow. Shadow Manifestation in Chamber will then begin to fade, and Shadow Anima Pool will not increase Raksha’s power.

He will then begin to follow the player, and Keeper will activate a holding shield to trap the boss and summon four hydraulic posts.

When enraged, Raksha regains Phase 3’s starting health of 400,000. Double that if you’re in a duo.

Don’t worry, keep approaching him as he has now given up his special attack and prefers his Tail Whip. Follow him and try to avoid him, and eventually he’ll gain a fresh attack called Erebus Charge.

However, if you have RS3 Gold budget to buy decent gear and maximize your inner strength, you should be able to defeat him before he reaches this stage.

Rewards

Speaking of Raksha’s drops, they don’t necessarily drop in failure. Instead, Keeper will teleport items to Antechamber Security projector location so you can pick them up from there.

You will find that there are many major drops from bosses, including Seeds, Salvage, Dragonhide, Scales, Runes and Spirits. While the major drops are more common, you can also get valuable items such as Blast Diffusion Boots, Greater Ricochet Ability Codex, and Broken Shackle.

Outro

Hopefully, this Raksha guide will give you an idea of how to find and defeat him. With adequate preparation, you should be able to knock out Raksha without taking too much damage. Enjoy the battle and the loot you get!

On Christmas Day 2001, RuneScape 3 released Black Partyhat for the first time. And this year, RuneScape 3 finally released its first Christmas release Party Hat since 2001, and new players and old players have equal opportunities to get it. And the arrival of Black Partyhat also adds a unique “Scapey moment” to our Christmas celebrations!

Here, we will talk about how to get this Black Partyhat for free during Christmas event. Without further ado, let’s get started!

How To Get A Black Partyhat?

I know that getting Black Partyhat is the top priority for almost everyone actively taking part in 2023 RuneScape 3 Christmas event. It’s so exciting to have a new Christmas-specific Party Hat. Because the last time this happened, most of us went from young adults to non-existence.

However, for those of you who want to wear a Black Partyhat, I have good news and bad news.

First, the good news is that anyone has an equal chance of getting themselves a Black Partyhat. This is a very rare event item that is not locked behind a pay-to-win or FOMO model.

Players don’t have to work hard to win it. You only need to play for a short period each day to earn Nice Points, which will give you a chance to earn it.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. The developers themselves stated that Black Partyhat will be very rare. So while it’s possible for players to get it without wasting time in Extreme Grind, your chances of getting it are still very low. There is no doubt that the dealer’s pricing is out of reach for the average Grand Exchange player.

So you need to collect your Nice Points every day and wait for good luck.

How To Earn More Nice Points?

Thankfully, the way to earn daily Nice Points is as simple as sending three letters to Santa every day. You will find all three letters using the following method.

• Talk to Clementine and Snow Imp is located outside Santa’s Lodge.
• Complete your daily challenges.
• Attend Christmas events in the area, such as Ice Fishing.

Depending on your daily challenge, you can quickly complete the above tasks. It took me about twenty minutes to do all the above on my first day, and I played pretty casually. Once received, simply mail the letter to the mailbox next to Clementine.

If you miss getting Santa’s letter, you can go to Christmas Spirit Shop, buy a new one with 400 Christmas Spirit, and send it out. That way, no matter your schedule and real-life priorities, you never miss out.

Weekly Giveaway Time

During the event, Santa will arrive at Lodge every Sunday at 8 PM and 10 PM RuneScape time. There will be a 30-minute timer here to let players know the happy one is coming.

Don’t forget to interact with Santa. He will reward you with a gift for your Nice Points. And you might also get a Black Partyhat as a reward.

This is an exciting draw. Don’t worry if you can’t arrive within two hours. Santa will leave, but you can get RS3 Gold reward by interacting with Santa’s Sledge next to Lodge. So be sure to check back after Sunday night because you might be the lucky winner!

Personally, I’ll ring the bell and make the trek from Ice Fishing location to Lodge to see if Santa thinks I’m worthy of this fashion-forward item.

While Black Partyhat is undoubtedly the highlight of RuneScape 3 Christmas 2023 event, it’s far from the only reward on offer. There are new items for 2023, as well as plenty of traditional Christmas rewards that you can earn by earning Christmas Spirit. So enjoy the holiday spirit and good luck!

Recently, RuneScape 3 is hosting a Christmas Event filled with exciting activities and tons of rewards. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a new player, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at this year’s event.

Christmas Village Overview

Located in Land of Snow, Christmas Village is the beautifully decorated centerpiece of 2023 Christmas Event. Players can explore Christmas Village to find new holiday quests, seasonal events, and other holiday items.

During Christmas Event, players can engage in many seasonal activities in Christmas Village. All these activities are related to Christmas theme, and players can earn Christmas Spirit currency by completing these activities.

It’s Snow Bother Quest

To begin your holiday journey, you’ll first need to complete a holiday mission called “It’s Snow Bother” and take part in various activities scattered throughout the area. These efforts will earn you Christmas Spirit, which can allow you to unlock rewards.

“It’s Snow Bother” Quest is a short seasonal quest in 2023 Christmas Event that players can start by talking to Santa in Christmas Village. Also, players should activate Lodestone to the southwest on the map and have a conversation.

The major goal of this mission is to decorate the city with decorations stolen by the naughty Snow Imps. Each Snow Imps appears as a pile of snow, and clicking on the pile will advance the area.

The three locations where players can find Snow Imps include Falador, Varrock, and Lumbridge.

Once the decorations are complete, you can return to Christmas Village and talk to Santa in person. Talk to him and he will thank you again and reward you for your help.

In addition to Christmas Spirit, rewards for completing this mission also include Lamp of Joy, Lamp of Wonder, Lamp of Laughter and other items. Not only can these items decorate your house, we can also sell them to help you earn extra RS3 Gold.

Christmas Spirit

Christmas Spirit is a unique currency introduced during RuneScape 3’s Christmas Event. Players must take part in various activities throughout Christmas Village to get Christmas Spirit.

As a special currency during the event, Christmas Spirit can be used to purchase traditional cosmetics such as hats and scarves in the store to enhance the appearance of the character.

How To Earn Christmas Spirit?

Christmas Spirit plays a vital role in Christmas Event as it opens the door to Christmas Spirit Shop. So, here I will introduce a few ways you can earn Christmas Spirit during the event.

Complete “It’s Snow Bother”

First, like I said before, you can get Christmas Spirit by participating in Christmas Event quest called “It’s Snow Bother.” And this mission is free and will allow you to take part in festive activities in Christmas Village.

When you complete this set of tasks, you can get 2000 Christmas Spirit points.

Complete Christmas Skilling Hub Tasks

In order to get more Christmas Spirit, you must explore Christmas Skilling Hub, which contains various skill stations.

In this hub, you must complete tasks such as Decoration Making, Ice Fishing, and Snowball Making to earn Christmas Spirit.

Among them, Snowball Making activity can give you at least 2000 Christmas Spirit points every hour. In comparison, Ice Fishing activity will give you more Christmas Spirit per hour.

Also, if you reach level 99, you can earn 3150 Christmas Spirit points per hour without any upgrades.

However, the fastest way to earn Christmas Spirit every hour is Decoration Making. You can earn up to 3600 Christmas Spirit points per hour through Decoration Making.

Capture Snow Implings

Another way to get more Christmas Spirit during the event is to catch Snow Implings.

Each Snow Implings is worth 100 Christmas Spirit points. You can find these Snow Implings in Lumbridge, Varrock, and Falador in Christmas Village.

Collect Three Letters

You can also get more challenges by visiting Santa’s Letter System.

You can earn three letters per day by completing challenges, talking to Clementine, and taking part in events. After collecting these three letters, you can place them on the table in Santa’s Lodge to receive Nice Points and Christmas Spirit.

Christmas Spirit Shop

Once you have accumulated enough Christmas Spirit, you can visit Christmas Spirit Shop and chat with Holly. The store is conveniently located near the bridge and is easily recognized by the prominent Santa’s Lodge sign.

The store includes new event items for 2023 as well as older items from previous years. Therefore, you can easily find the rewards you want.

Finally, the developer stated that any unused Christmas Spirit will be rolled over to next year’s event. This means you can take your time, enjoy the festivities at your own pace, and rest assured that Christmas Spirit you earn won’t go to waste.

So don’t miss the festivities! With rich rewards and engaging activities, RuneScape 3’s Christmas Event is sure to make your holiday even more memorable!

If you’ve already collected Infinite Porter Buff, let’s take a look at the best ways to use Infinite Porter Buff before you start Breakdance at Lumbridge Castle.

Max Gathering Skills

Your primary goal with Porter Buff should be to use it to train any Porter in useful Gathering skills, and you’ll need XP to gain that skill. This means that wherever you train Mining, Fishing, Woodcutting, Farming, Hunter, and Divination, you will gain the most experience points.

Hunting Arch Weapons

So, after the most obvious use, let’s move on to the next best use for Porter Buff. The next best thing to using your Porter Buff is to hunt your Archeology Weapons.

This means you need to mine Spear of Annihilation tip in Bandos’s sanctum debris in Warforge, or mine your Inquisitor staff piece at any Praetorium excavation site.

As you probably know from any advanced Archeology training, Archeology drains your Porter charge significantly.

Now you don’t need to collect more Divine Energy from the ring. Over the next 14 days, Porter would get more and more. You should have a pretty good chance of getting one of the best weapons in the game completely free. Especially when the current combat beta is thrown into live play.

Collecting Binding Contracts

Next we have the same thing, which is collecting Blood of Orcus or Hellfire metal for Binding Contracts. There are two major ways we can use Porter Buff to get these supplies.

The first is to do this via AFK, but this will make you collect these items slower. Or we have a version that’s far less AFK, but gives you those supplies much faster.

Personally, I went with AFK version last time we had this buff, and will probably go that route again. It provided me with supplies for 9,000 Binding Contracts.

AFK version’s time is divided into 107 Ancient magick munitions hotspots or 107 Excavation hotspots. Infernal Source Dig Site located in these hotspots will provide us with approximately 50 Blood of Orcus or 50 Hellfire metal per hour. The benefit of this is that it’s completely AFK for a few minutes until you receive the damaged Artefacts.

The other option is not nearly as good as AFK, but will give you more Blood of Orcus or Hellfire metal. That is to use one material cache for each supply. If you choose this approach, I recommend activating Resourceful Aura and utilizing Cadantines to keep the cache alive longer. This will give you an hour more supplies.

Collecting Food For PVM

But I personally would go for Ancient magick munitions hotspots, which is also the next best use for your Porter Buff, which is to collect food for PVM.

We have an AFK version and a non-AFK version. In either case, I highly recommend using level 99 Archaeology’s Bait and Switch Relic for AFK route.

We’ll head to Deep Sea Fishing hub and head to Swarm fishing plot, which will give you a few minutes AFK. Using a Swarm fishing plot along with Bait and Switch Relic, we will receive plenty of cooked fish for PVM.

But you may receive a lot of unnecessary food at level 99, so that’s definitely a disadvantage. Since the primary target of our catch is fish, not jellyfish, this is our most desired PVM food.

If you are looking for a specific fish, we can do the same thing. But going to a specific location and getting more fish in less time depends on what you value more, gathering supplies quickly or earning more RS3 Gold.

Collecting Masterwork Armor

My next suggestion is to use your Porter Buff to get Masterwork Armor supplies if you haven’t already collected them. A complete set of Masterwork Armor requires 13,24 different Ores.

This means we need to mine a lot in Ironman Mode. I recommend using different mining buffs such as Juju mining potion or Perfect plus potion. This will maximize your AFK time.

Blessed Flask Grind

Likewise, you can use your Porter Buff to mine Sandstone. Keep in mind that Blessed Flask requires 40,000 Extra Fine Sand when mining Sandstone. Each successfully collected a piece of Sandstone is worth approximately 45 Extra Fine Sand if you disassemble each piece.

This means that for Blessed Flask, you need to mine nearly 89,000 Sandstone in total. If you don’t use buffs here, this is going to be an extensive project.

Cave Nightshade

Next, we will collect Cave Nightshade to make weapon poison. But we don’t need to use Porter Buff heavily because the weapon poison dose lasts a long time, and each Nightshade is equivalent to at least three doses of weapon poison.

If you’re messing around with weapon poison, this might be a good way to go. Basically, you no longer have to spend hours collecting Cave Nightshade.

Combat

Finally, during combat, some monsters actually provide useful drops, which can be stored via Porter. Most importantly, these items cannot be recorded via a Magic notebook.

These monsters are Nightmare Muspah and Nills. Musa Point dropped by Nightmare Muspah is used to improve Divination Buff, while the nearby Nills drops secondary items to match Nihil familiar.

However, due to our significant reduction in combat effectiveness, these familiars are no longer that powerful. But they still have some good niche uses, especially if your weapons and gear aren’t 100% optimal just yet.

As a side benefit, most of these monsters drop Elder Energy faster than you can use them for Porter Buffs. This means that in most cases you can also benefit from Divine charge.

Here are eight ways I use Infinite Porter Buff. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just starting out, these tips and strategies will revolutionize the way you use your Infinite Porter. Have a great day.

If you’re an avid RuneScape 3 fan looking to make the most of your crafting skills. Then you might be looking for a profitable yet relaxing way to craft while offline to take advantage of the bonus XP from the last day of XP Week.

So, in this guide, we’re going to share some highly profitable crafting methods for AFK training in RuneScape 3.

Dragonstone Necklace

We will first describe a wonderful craft method involving the making of Dragonstone Necklace. This method is very versatile and allows you to earn a decent amount of RS3 Gold by crafting these valuable Necklaces with Dragonstone and Gold Bar.

Also, you can choose to create Combat Bracelet, Ring of Wealth, and other Dragonstone jewelry to generate profits. However, Dragonstone Necklace is one of the most popular items.

Players of RuneScape 3 often choose Dragonstone Necklace. This is mainly because it meets market demand. It not only guarantees players’ profits but also circulates in the market. Especially for Porters, which is a must-have for many players, Dragonstone Necklace has become popular.

Players can also choose to sell these Necklaces directly at Grand Exchange or enchant them for extra profit. This method is a good option if you want to gain crafting experience while farming gold.

How To Use It?

There are many ways you can use Dragonstone Necklace. You can use it with Alchemy, use machines or sell them directly. The choice depends on the build in your account and your own preferences.

Notably, it can also profit from caching. Especially if you wait for the right moment, such as a bonus XP event, when the price will usually increase.

Tips

It is important to note that if you have not completed Family Crest mission, you cannot use Gold Bar storage feature in Furnace.

Still, you can craft Dragonstone Necklace efficiently if you place it near a bank, such as Prifddinas’ Workshop. After completing the mission, you can craft a total of 28 Necklaces in your inventory. This will bring you greater convenience.

Also, if you plan to enchant Dragonstone Necklace, you will also need to reach a certain level of magic. If you’re not there yet, consider using Extreme Magic Potions to increase your level temporarily. This will allow you to perform enchantment spells that you wouldn’t normally be able to perform.

Finally, make sure to use bonus XP tokens wisely. If you’re planning to get into Slayer soon, Slayer Masks are a priority, as they offer significant advantages. Using tokens to unlock Slayer Masks makes Slayer easier.

Lever

In addition to Dragonstone crafting, Lever crafting can also help you gain experience points quickly. But unlike gem crafting, which can usually be AFK, Lever crafting requires more effort and provides excellent experience points. Also, you’ll want to focus on Lever prices, as they tend to drop at the end of bonus XP events.

Royal Dragonhide Body

You may also consider crafting Royal Dragonhide Body for high crafting experience points and substantial profits. Since Royal Dragonhide Body has high alchemy value and they are in high demand, there is no risk of price falling.

Players should preset 18 threads and fill the remaining inventory with Royal Dragon Leather and Beast of Burden. It takes 36 seconds to make 18 Royal Dragonhide Bodies. You should be able to craft 1800 Royal Dragonhide Bodies per hour. But you don’t need all 1800 lines, as 1 line can be used to make multiple Royal Dragonhide Bodies.

The process involves combining it with Royal Dragon Leather, which nets you around 350k XP per hour.

Conclusion

As you complete your bonus XP and prepare for regular play, consider these crafting methods to get the most profit while training your RuneScape 3 skills.

These methods of making Dragonstone Necklace, Lever, and Royal Dragonhide Body are both suitable for AFK and profitable at the same time. Following this guide can help you strategically use bonus XP tokens and maximize your profits!

Welcome to our in-depth guide to RuneScape 3. This guide is designed to help you understand the intricacies of Archeology skill, especially during the exciting Bonus XP Weekend.

Our focus is on maximizing your profits while providing an AFK-specific approach to enhancing your characters. With our wonderful experience with skills like Construction and Herblore, it’s time to dive into Archeology mechanics.

Archeology Mechanism

Archeology had a unique performance during Bonus XP Weekend. Archeology mechanics will change during Bonus XP event. Instead of receiving double experience points from Artefacts, players get Artefacts back at twice the normal speed.

This effectively doubles your XP gain, since most Archeology XP comes from Artefacts. However, this rapid acquisition of Artefacts means that materials are collected at a normal pace, resulting in material shortages.

This material shortage also brings us the opportunity to earn RS3 Gold. Players in need will turn to Grand Exchange to purchase materials to restore their Artefacts and continue to earn experience points. This surge in demand allows savvy players to sell their stored materials at high prices.

Advantages Of AFK

Archeology is one of the most AFK-friendly skills in RuneScape 3, allowing players to perform multiple tasks efficiently. Whether you’re studying, working from home, or enjoying other games, Archaeology fits seamlessly into your daily life. Our guide ensures you can get the most out of this skill, no matter your concentration level.

Flip Material

Before delving further into Archeology, consider selling all stored materials in Material Warehouse. Prices for some materials will peak during Bonus XP Weekend, which could translate into substantial profits.

Also, don’t forget to keep track of the materials you sell, as buying them back after Bonus XP Weekend could net you plenty of extra RS3 Gold profits.

Items & Strategies

To maximize AFK potential and effectiveness, certain items and strategies are crucial. Auto Screener is an invaluable tool that can simplify Archeology process.

Also, Grace of the Elves and Premier Artefact can significantly enhance your AFK capabilities, reduce porter charges and increase your profits.

Flexibility is key when choosing a dig site. While we’ve provided examples of profitable Zamorak excavation sites, choose one that matches your level of Archaeology. Thanks to Artefacts, all materials have varying levels of demand, ensuring there’s a market no matter where you mine.

At each excavation site, you will see a material storage container. Not only does this allow you to store materials without using up valuable bank space, but it also provides direct access to Artifacts as they occur. This improves the efficiency of Archeology.

Tips

Not only does Archeology provide us with a large amount of RS3 Gold every hour, but it also ensures steady progress.

Depending on where you choose to mine, the profit you can make per hour ranges from 2-3 million gold to a staggering 9-10 million gold.

But as you know, focusing our efforts on a few lucrative items often brings us the greatest returns. Some of the colorful dyes and specific materials like Hellfire Metal and Blood of Orcus always bring us high profits.

As you indulge in Archaeology’s AFK nature, keep in mind that material prices fluctuate based on demand. Staying informed and adjusting your sales strategy accordingly can maximize your profits.

With Archeology, you not only unlock skills that are highly suited to AFK but also provide you with a reliable way to accumulate enough funds. In any case, Archaeology is definitely one of the best money-making tools during Bonus XP Weekend, so hurry up and give it a try!

Welcome to this year’s Halloween Event on RuneScape 3! If you have not participated in a Halloween event for more than ten years, the content of this event will surprise you. In this guide, we’ll take a thorough analysis into 2023 Halloween Event to learn more about how you can join in the festivities and earn substantial rewards.

Event Overview

This year’s Halloween Event will be held from October 16 to November 5, 2023.

Halloween Event 2023 will bring a series of exciting activities. Your major goals are to smash Party Pumpkins, take part in Pumpkin Parties and assist Pumpkin Pete in his mysterious Necromancy Ritual. If you haven’t come across this game feature before, don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated.

During the event, Pumpkin Pete needs players’ help to grow new pumpkin heads with Necromantic energy. When talking to him, he will give the player a Rotten Pumpkin Mask.

Players need to upgrade it to Pumpkin Mask by crushing Party Pumpkins during Pumpkin Parties event or by consuming Gourd Gorger Gobstopper. Pumpkin Mask prevents light sources placed at Layer 1 and Layer 2 light source points from being exhausted during Necromancy Ritual.

Players can get various rewards after smashing pumpkins, including Ensouled Pumpkin Mask, Orange Hallowe’en Mask, and Sweets that produce beneficial effects during the event.

How To Get Started?

To start your Halloween Event adventure, head to Fort 4 and 3 and look for Pumpkin Pete. If you haven’t built Lodestone yet, don’t worry, you can still participate.

Due to the large influx of spooky skeletons in the game, Pumpkin Pete has encountered some problems with his head. Your mission is to lend a helping hand by waving your arms every day at his Makeshift Communion Ritual location. In return, he’ll reward you with snacks to keep you in good spirits.

During the event, you’ll stumble across pumpkins scattered in designated areas. Your job is to crush them. The more you crush, the more RS3 Gold rewards for loot you can earn.

To speed up your pumpkin crushing and partying, Pumpkin Pete can teleport you directly to the action. Say the magic word and the teleportation begins.

Pumpkin Party Mechanics

Please pay more attention to Pumpkin Party during the event. These Parties include special pumpkins with extra spirit. Players need to crush as many of them as possible to gain valuable loot.

Pumpkin Party takes place every hour at half an hour. The event starts at Fort Forinthry, City of Um, or Draynor Village, and the locations rotate in order. Pumpkin Party takes place only in members’ worlds.

Ken Muppet P.I. will appear during the party event. You can find them in the party area with Pumpkin Joy icon above them.

These parties are similar to Wilderness Flash Events, where players have five minutes to smash Party Pumpkins to achieve their individual goals and collective event goals. The personal goal is a pumpkin, while the active goal changes with the number of players in the area.

Party Pumpkins appear as yellow dots on the mini-map and spawn at predetermined locations. But after the first set of pumpkins appears, the order will vary between players. The party always starts with the same group of eight pumpkins spawning, which move to new locations at different intervals. Smashing a pumpkin will cause it to disappear until it naturally reaches a new location, rather than moving immediately.

The party ends when the collective goal is reached or time runs out. If we met both individual and collective goals, it will reward players with five Gourd Gorger Gobstoppers and Agility experience.

While all world event start times are synchronized at the start, event completion or failure may vary. However, there is a 15-minute timer, and players may not receive the ultimate rewards of the extra event after switching worlds.

Event Rewards

By participating in Halloween Event, you can earn a range of rewards including unique Masks, RS3 Gold and experience points. Don’t forget to keep smashing those pumpkins and partying to maximize your chances of getting rare drops.

Remember, Halloween Event is time-limited, so make the most of it. Whether you are an experienced RuneScape 3 player or just getting started, this event is a great opportunity to enjoy Gielinor spooky season.
