New purpose for World 2 New purpose for World 2 / DMM: At the request of @Deadmen the below changes have been made: Moving forward Vulcan will host a weekly Deadman Mode event with a prize pool of $1,000 USD / 6,000m OSGP (every weekend), with a similar format to Rust At the start of each month, all accounts will be fully wiped At the end of each week, any account that enters the final 1v1 will lose their gear, non-combat stats and point balances (pvm, skilling, exchange points, etc). You will keep your combat stats & prayers unlocked and just need to rebuild your gear for the following weekend's multi & 1v1 stage As I can see gear fatigue becoming a thing (having to kill demonics every week for example) a very very basic gear setup will be provided to enter the 1v1s to encourage everyone to still participate if you didn't have time to gear that week Changes implemented since last weekend's DMM #6: Admins can now pause the DMM round and correct any issues before it resumes Admins can now trade with players in a tournament in emergencies The timer between rounds has increased from 15 seconds to 30 seconds The banks that spawn in round 1 will now stay for 3 minutes before they de-spawn When the banks spawn they will specify they disappear when the timer hits 25 Mystery boxes have been made untradeable again Divine / regular rune pouches will no longer drop to the ground for your opponent Breaches can now spawn in all 8 locations over the map vs just 4 in the wilderness Breaches can now spawn in single locations Loot keys from PKs will now specify where the key has gone to both players involved Disabled special restore from pvp kills as it's a world 1 only perk Freezes now break when a player traverses up/down a ladder Morrigans axes/javelins have been added to the global loot table BOFA and VW now correctly load their last-saved attack style Bofa/Morrigans axe/dorg cbow no longer work with sigil of the ninja Dying in PvP will now clear your rune pouch of runes God staff are now lost on PvP deaths You will no longer keep 3 items when you die unskulled You will no longer keep untradeables on death that are normally lost to match osrs Dt2 bosses now receive 3x loot from day four with other bosses Removed multiple items from DMM mboxes like virtus & spirit shields Added bandos boots, armadyl helmet, drake's claw and trident Added new raid bonuses and 3x drops at DT2 bosses to day 4 & 5 Limited votes to match main world of 3 per 12hrs per account Graphics now play for the final winner You can join the DMM Discord here: https://discord.gg/295JKKWbuw

Thank you this is clutch

Hey there, you might know me as Go Again L4M in game. I started off playing door until I got a Shadow drop from ToA. In the meantime I've completed about 200 900+ invocation runs over different accounts and I'm only missing the pet from my completion log. I'll be releasing guides for most common builds in the game. I'm currently setting up my door build to display the full potential (and fun) you can have in ToA as a Dinh's Bulwark spec master. However, considering when I got my Shadow I swapped my main account to a Berserker Mage, I will be releasing guides in the following order: Berserker Mage, Weapon Master Melee, and any form of Ranged build. The most basic guide will follow. Excuse me talking uncomfortably to myself. I've only ever had to do this for university pitches, so have mercy on my soul. I will add the rest of the guides to this thread so new ToAers will have a collection of videos and sample runs, along with some commentary and tips/tricks to look back on while learning.  Do know that it is absolutely normal to make mistakes. I've played with the best ToA runners in the game and sometimes mistakes just happen. Even on farm content, you can make a mistake that will end your run or leave one person to clean up for the rest. If you are learning this is doubly so. I hope that this encourages more people to try out solo (or even group) ToAs. Most of the knowledge and strategies in these videos are entirely transferable between solo and group content and you can make your start at any time and at any pace that you feel like. Some mechanics might feel overwhelming at first, but practice and experience will make most content second nature. Before you watch the video, I do want to say that I am using BIS gear here. However completions with less than optimal gear are very possible. The video would have dragged on for another 15 minutes if I had to add my run with a trident/rcb and I attempted to keep these short and concise, but elaborate enough to know how to react to certain situations. Do know that Sanguinesti staff is ideal for learners as you can cover a lot of mistakes. The better gear, the more mistakes you can make and the faster your runs will naturally be. For demonstration purposes I ran a couple of my runs to simply illustrate that what might be considered challenging content for some will become easier as you get more acquainted with it. Berserker Mage Solo 900 The following is not a method of flexing as the run was littered with mistakes. However, doing said runs is possible with the right strategies. You will have to rely heavier on your relics rather than your gear. If wanted I can upload this run separately, although I won't be including this in a guide setting. My door build is missing just the yellow crystal from ToA, but I will add on to this thread when it is ready to do a run. Door build is just as effective (and has an insane amount of utility both solo and in group settings) compared to Berserker Mage's raw DPS output. I'll be adding on to this thread a door solo 900 and a range solo 900 when I have time to record a couple of runs on these accounts.
