Tombs of Amascut - Gear Progression Guide | OSRS

i litteraly cant find any guide what bolt to use with arma crossbow

why is fang such a late upgrade when its like.. 25m

This wasn't right then and it isn't right now not sure why this was left up.

Hey, sorry for newb question, havent done the raid yet... I've got myself Kodai wand and Virtus set. Like bis for barraging mm2 and leveling magic... Set gives more ancient spell dmg than the ancestral. And red spells heal too... Why Kodai+Virtus is not in the list????
And looks like I'll swap my rapier for Osmudens then. Rapier is double the price for some reason 😮

I noticed you didn't put armadyl crossbow onto the list, over the dragon crossbow, is that intentional or oversight?

What about camparison of voidwaker vs claws as a spec wep

No helm switch if you have crystal armour and bowfa?

Blowpipe Ahkka is better than bowfa?

might be better to use voidwaker on kephri than claws.

Thanks man. Now I have a step by step guide, because of good luck I am in mid-tier of around 420-430 mil gear.

If you see this @QuickOSRS can you tell me how the voidwaker fits in with the rest of the spec weapons.

tumeken is better than tbow in final phase of warden 😊

Shadow should be the first purchase instead of t-bow...?

I'm hearing the voidmaker is better than claws? What's your opinion on this?

Missleading guide, since when bofa is better than shadow at p4? Lmao where is zaryte at all?

great video! thank you

Been a while compare tbow and shadow

I watched a video that BGS lowers every boss defence inside ToA including ba ba, it’s just limited.

I'd like to add additional gear/tips for Tombs of Amascut gear progression as well (primarily from personal experience).

Keris Partisan of Breaching (Blue Keris) - It's a great weapon but it is only useful for Kephri. The additional bonus is that it can be used outside of Tombs of Amascut making it a great option to slay the Kalphite Queen. There's DPS charts online showing that the blue Keris is best in slot DPS for Kephri until ~250 Invocation level, that's where Osmumten's Fang starts to pull ahead. Osmumten's Fang becomes aboslute best in slot here in Expert mode raids (300+). Granted you will have to receive the blue Keris gem from a chest reward from the raid. If you get it early, completing under 250 Invocation raids, and can afford the extra inventory slot, I recommend bringing it. Once you progress past 250 Invocation and into Expert mode, drop it entirely and camp the Osmumten's Fang.

FAQ: Fang or Rapier? The short answer is both. Osmumten's Fang sits at ~46M Grand Exchange price currently while the Ghrazi Rapier is ~58M. If you're completing under 250 Invocation raids and especially don't have a blue Keris for Kephri, and you do a lot of Slayer training I'd recommend the Rapier. If you're doing over 250 Invocation raids, you won't need the blue Keris and I'd simply get the Osmumten's Fang. You can keep or buy back the Rapier for your Slayer training or keep it for the Dehydration invocation raids (will explain later on in this post).

Dragon Dagger (DDS) - Definitely want to fit this into your inventory setup. It's currently best in slot damage on the P2 Warden core. Not only do you have 100% accuracy on the core, it always hits your max hit (PRAY PIETY) with a maximum hit of 48/48 currently in addition to the low spec cost (especially with Adrenaline Potions) and it being a 4-tick weapon. There's no contest for DPS when you're not running the Dehydration invocation. If you're running the "Dehydration" invocation you'll be banking your DDS for a hard-hitting 4-tick weapon (Tentacle, Rapier, Saeldor, Inq Mace, etc.) since you'll need to be saving your Adrenaline Potions.

Keris Partisan of Corruption (Red Keris) - The special attack, for the next hit, provides a 100% increase to accuracy and a 25% increase to the player's damage. The target hit by the special attack will also receive 25% increased damage for 10 ticks (6 seconds); the special attack must be a successful hit in order for it to take effect. However, players performing the special attack will be unable to attack for 8 ticks (4.8 seconds). As such, it is recommended to have teammates focus on the target hit by the special attack afterwards if possible. This special attack weapon is EXCELLENT in mass ToA speed runs or mass teams in general.

Keris Partisan of the Sun (Yellow Keris) - You'll definitely want to get this. This is your get out of jail free card in the raid. The special attack will fully heal the player to their maximum health and overheal players up to 20% of their base Hitpoints level. It will also cure poison, and venom, as well as restore the player's run energy and any drained stats. Unfortunately it's very difficult to complete high level ToA raids without this item. Hopefully you get this early. If you're struggling to survive, camp this as a special attack weapon.

Bandos Godsword - This should be your go-to special attack weapon up to ~450-500 Invocation levels. Defence reduction = More consistent, sustained damage. Definitely fit this in your supplies or if you're running teams, make sure at least 1 person has a BGS for boss Defence reduction.

Dragon Warhammer - This also works for Defence reduction but not nearly as accurate as BGS. This is more for Ironmen that got spooned a DwH at Lizardmen Shamans but struggling to get BGS components from GwD. Being 99 Attack/Strength, Piety, full Melee gear, and your best Defender off-hand will provide the best chances for this special attack to hit. I'd stick with the BGS if you have access to it. It is not worth bringing in crush armor switches (Dwarven Helmet, Myhical Cape, Inquisitor's Set, Tyrannical Ring, etc) to make DwH have a higher chance to hit.

Saradomin Godsword - This is a great, budget option at ~20M if you're struggling to survive and/or don't have a Sun Keris. This will heal you at minimum 10 HP and 5 Prayer Points and scales as long as you hit above 22 damage. I wouldn't necessarily use this on bosses in higher invocations since their Defence is high. But it can be good for the Warden's core, Kephri eggs, and Ba-Ba baboons (both puzzle and boss room). I would not prioritize this over a BGS though.

Best offensive special attack weapons (strictly DPS not a utility)
- DDS (Warden Core ONLY + no Dehydration)
- Voidwaker (Korasi) - Guaranteed damage 50%-150% of your MELEE max hit ~230M. This is effective on ALL bosses. If you're looking for peace of mind your specs will hit, grab this.
- Zaryte Crossbow - 110/220 damage or 137/274 with Red Keris spec active. ~410M. This is the most expensive special attack weapon. You can also use this as your primary Ranged attack weapon to save inventory space. But if you have a Twisted Bow + Masori (f) this would be used as a spec weapon. As Voidwaker has a guaranteed hit, the ZcB still hits higher but has a chance to miss.
- Dragon Claws - I call this the go-to DPS spec weapon especially coupled with a BGS. At ~90M they're excellent for the price and one of the best special attack weapons for DPS in the game. These are extremely useful outside of ToA and often used in PvP. As video states, this special attack weapon is effective in ALL boss encounters but primarily Akkha's white orb phase and the Wardens encounter. As these are a SLASH weapon where the bosses inside the raid are primarily weak to STAB. The Dragon Claws become less effective as you progress through Expert mode raids as the boss' Defence becomes higher (especially with leveled up paths). I'd say these are excellent up to a 300-350 invocation. At that point I'd look into a Voidwaker, Zaryte Crossbow, bank it for extra supplies, or pray to the RnG Gods it hits good.


Honorable mention DPS special attack weapons:
- Armadyl Godsword ~13M. I'd say this is a great, budget Dragon Claws for ToA. Hits hard and can be fairly accurate at lower invocations coupled with Defence reduction. Also you can get up 4 special attacks with Adrenaline Potion
- Ancient Godsword ~40M. Also a budget Dragon Claws with a health regeneration utility. If the spec hits, you'll gain back +25 HP after 8 game ticks. That's up to 100 health with Adrenaline Potions and 4 special attack hits.
- Crystal Halberd ~1M. The true budget Dragon Claws... This is probably the cheapest special attack weapon you can by. Being a SLASH weapon this might only be effective in lower invocation raids. Great for Ironmen that don't have access to Dragon Claws or really anything else.
- Armadyl Crossbow ~41M This could help speed up Zebak and Wardens fight if this is your primary Ranged weapon. Doubles your accuracy and chance for your bolt spec to hit. Hitting 100s with Dragon Ruby (e) bolts will significantly speed up kill times.
- Osmumten's Fang - If you have literally nothing else and/or can't afford to bring more gear inside the raid just use this. Upon successfully hitting, your next hit will be +50% more accurate in additional to utilizing the weapon's TRUE max hit when calculating special attack damage. Also, has the same special attack cost as a DDS.

Love this vid. Exactly what I was looking for. Just starting ToA and this is insanely helpful. Thanks!

lmfao, this guy has no idea what hes talking about. everthing he is telling you is wrong.

i know dragon dart is way more dmg but is it worth the steep price from amethyst? its like 1100 more gp per dart..

Should update this now with updated price guide since everything is cheaper

Curious where in the progression you would recommend putting gp into skills. Eg unlocking augory, chinning to 99, etc?

is tbow at obelisk after bgs specs not good ?
and tbow at akka switches range

why would you not put acb ahead of dcb?

Nice video but what about the item requirement in your bag ?

would of loved to see even more budget gear discussed

Man bp doesn't seem bis at akkah wearing full arma top n bottoms with dragon darts i just fail dps checks on shadows constantly for lvl 300s. However bowfa + crystal just seems much more consistent against akkah idk what dps calculators say ive done died too many times against the shadow clones or prolonged the fight because bp just decides to noodle nonstop 0's

Love this! Exactly what I've been looking for

Genuine Question - Why is Dragon Crossbow listed over Armadyl?

great video all around! dont know that it costs 900m anymore bc i have bandos zenyte jewelry full crystal/bowfa. and ahrims etc with sang for just over 500m now
but the prices have dropped drastically over the last few months. great video tho man

Should change dagger x dclaws in heart guardián?

how do you add a coloured border to your equipment, that would help me out a lot!

Iv noticed the shadow slaps zebak harder then bofa

did you just forget about arma crossbow?

Hey thanks :)

Goede video. Ik zie dat je die raid deed met void. Heb je daar nog tips voor? Ik zit op mn UIM nog niet op t punt dat ik zulrah onveilig maak etc, maar die entries voor die looting bag zou moeten lukken toch met een void set up?

What about ACB? No mention but you mention dragon CB.

What weapon would you say is best for the final boss phase 3 I have (sang staff, blow pipe, hasta) should I dragon crossbow or is bp better?

If u have no money u can actually use crystal halberd. it has a str of +118 which is higher than the fang. The spec is quite good too but dont work on warden's core.

elidnis ward is a better upgrade than ancestral pieces imo.... not the upgraded version too.

Really confused as to why you didn’t once mention the zcb? Zcb is bis at akka imo

At over 250 toa completions and no being at a tbow yet the zcb has been a Fantastic option for favouring it just over the BofA, especially when I'm combination with adrenalin, great video to brother!

this video has not aged well thanks osrs market lmao.
ty for the video was still good to watch for other reasons

is there a alternative to claws for a dps spec?

How come you bring BGS over dragon warhammer, btw? :)

really iformative thank you!

I find Bowfa barely losing to Tbow on Zebak, and that's the only useful place for it (I don't deem it over bowfa P3 due to its slow speed and having to constantly move). Call me crazy, but Tbow is not that good like people hype it.

So yeah, Tumeken is >Tbow P3 and pillar too
