    I just got full void from pest control. Now I need to get into the fight caves and beat jad but I’m putting that off. Maybe I will give it a shot tonight.

      You should definitely do it! it’s honestly easier than you might think, it’s just the nerves at the end to make sure you don’t get hit off prayer, but getting to Jad is no problem.

      In addition to what the other players have said, you can also do the “Beneath Cursed Sands” speedrun worlds trick to practice in Mor Ul Rek.

      To do this, log into a Speedrun world, then start the Beneath Cursed Sands speedrun.

      Use a minigame teleport to get to the Fight Pits, then walk past the fight caves entrance to the fire gate. You should have a fire cape in your inventory to get past the gate.

      From there continue to the far end of the cave and talk to the guy sitting on a large throne. After talking a bit he’ll offer to have you do a combat test. The first one is against a single Jad.

      On your way there, there’s a bank chest where you can grab an inventory of gear for the fight including a rune crossbow, food, and potions. Likely a bit under what you’ll be using for the real fight, but if you can do it with the crossbow, you’ll have an easy time with a blowpipe.

      Good luck!!

      And if it’s first time doing jad, you can try one of the “jad fight simulators” so you can practice some prayer switching! It can give some confidence if you have tried it a couple of times before trying it for real!

    Primarily working on agility through sepulchre! It’s pretty fun honestly, though it requires quite a bit of focus. I’ll probably stop after green log.

    While I’m not at runefest the livestream was cool, though im a little disappointed I feel like we didn’t get too many new reveals.

      Sepulchre is so good, it’s basically my happy place in OSRS and actually makes Agility a top tier skill in my opinion. I ended up getting 94 agility very early on my ironman just from how much I enjoyed it which set me up very nicely for so many things.

      Wish we had more agility courses like sepulchre and maybe everyone would stop complaining about doing rooftops.

        I primarily play runescape as an afk game, so my opinion of sepulchre is “well it’s good but requires a lot more focus than I like.” OSRS is something of an idle game for me lol.

        That being said I definitely think more skills need a sepulchre level of content. I also wish agility had a more chill option than even rooftops.

          Fishing is passive xp but at least it can be afk. Similarly you can pedal the bike at blast furnace for like 6k/hr but very afk.

          Brimhaven agility arena has a decent amount of downtime and the XP isn’t as bad as you’d think. There’s also a trap spamming method there if you don’t mind clicking one spot repeatedly. The varlemore course claimed to be more afk but I found it no better than rooftops.

          There’s also this PoH method, unsure if it’s patched https://youtu.be/29NULOaoPAU
