I want to point something out for people that are new new. Right now with golden phats, I farmed them on a few alts with no investment. Started with one and bought bonds. This earned me all the gp I needed for the buyables and mid level pvm gear(really all you needed). This took me two weeks. So it’s achievable. Don’t get overwhelmed, set a goal and go for it.

Combat related quality of life items or abilities are by far my favorite things to go for. I will grind like no other if it means I can achieve a quality of life item/ability such as the bonepicker/death note combo. Life changing for slayer.

Slap it all on the toolbelt and call it a good day. Agreed. Though for bossing less important.

[@anannoyedpanda]

So might seem a bit ridiculous but following this I've been able to solo my first bit of gwd1. Bandos armor and a sara godsword max melee. Not a big accomplishment but for someone just coming back after 12 years, and not having too much to go off of I'm happy with it. This guide really helped 🙂

[@ClydeClemons]

Seems like rs3 is based on the “end game”.. you need 90+ in basically everything to do anything worth while. & after that you still need more ridiculously priced items to even attempt it. Then augmenting is another whole “necessity”. There’s just so many layers of shit you constantly need.

I mean, early PvM doesn't take anywhere near this much-- you may not be doing Telos any time soon, but early bosses like KBD, Mole, and Barrows are pretty doable with skills in the 60s or 70s and no perks. (Though for KBD, I'd recommend 85 herblore for super antifires if at all feasible. If not, kind of have to suck it up and use the anti-dragon shield.)

Amazing guide and as always amazing video but I feel like you forgot the #1 thing for getting into pvm. Being okay with failing, you will fail, lots. 90% of people will fail massively when doing a new boss and that's one of the biggest hurdles to jump, you will fail, you will die and that's okay. Like the saying goes, A master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried. You aren't gonna be Evil Lucario or the RS Guy on your first 30 kills and that's okay. Like I said it's an amazing video and a good starting point for people to get into pvm but I think a lot of people miss that one point.

I’m still struggling after watching all the pvm vids possible 😅, I can’t time anything right when trying to pvm with mechanics. I don’t understand the abilities in the slightest either they’re just way too complex for someone who doesn’t play all that often.

[@0ptimal]

Yea these individual things that you can aquire really do add up. As an early pvmer I've noticed substantial increases in what I can do and handle. Even w only a moderate amount of early upgrades I can handle stuff that I didn't have a chance against not long ago, I mean even w essentially the same combat levels. Now it's becoming about learning mechanics..

[@MarkNull]

It would be nice to see a video that just tells you which skills, and what levels they need to be to be at to do PVM, ---including the required skill levels needed for the quests that SHOULD be done. I feel like all these PVM videos are out of touch with RS3 fanbase and think everyone has 99 on all skills and can just pick up PVM just that easy. Im not talking about killing that mole rat in Varrock over and over again. This whole PVM in RS3 is nice and i really want to do it, but the true investment to actually start is so much, that looking for guides on how to get started are often so convoluted, sigh.

[@cheviidevii]

In terms of items importance (Not in order): 1. Ring of Death (A must have whether you're rich or poor. Death cost any cheap and could possibly cost you as much as 2m gold every 90 mins since you'll die on average 1 time every 2 hours of PVMing) 2. Amulet of Souls (Assuming you not doing end game PVM such as Glacor, Telos, Solak etc snd the cost per hr is way cheaper than EOF) 3. Capable action bars for all 3 combat styles preferably 2 per style such as duel wield and 2hs (Often get overlook for some weird reason. You can do even end game PVM without extra buy abilities such as greater chain or fury however what you cannot do is efficient bossing or afk bossing with a crappy action bar) 4. Money (Check your death cost and see how much go is needed to get your items back from Mr. Death. Not even the best gear and prayer can stop you from dying at boss so you will need money to get your items back. I suggest having a capital of 3M gp before camping bosses). 5. Prayer + Herblore + Summoning (All are equally important especially in mid - end game PVMing). 6. Quests (Quest gives you access to free hax when PVMing such as various abilities and money making methods to get you the require gp to buy codexs and gear for PVM)

[@alori820]

[@pucie_boi]

As an Ironman, what I like about bossing at a low combat level is that death always assigns Giant Mole or King Black Dragon which are easy to beat. I still get decent slayer and reaper points. If I were to level up my combat too high, I wouldn't have the gear to take down a lot of deaths assignments. So, I purposely stay low combat level, do my daily reaper tasks while I level up my support skills such as crafting, runecrafting, and smithing, so that eventually, I will be able to have my hydrix jewelry and masterwork by the time I start leveling up combat

[@ronzerker390]

Archaeolgy is the hard one for me. I'm barely like 60 arch and I've been playing since March this year. It's just so boring and a little tedious imo. I finally bought a GoE to help with the tediousness but have yet went to go lvl up more since then lol

[@ronb7189]

Bandos set (6.3 mill), Masuta warspear (3.3 mill), amulet of fury (975k) and ring of fortune (687k), these 11.26 mill set + a skill cape should be enough to get you through GWD1 and GWD 2 bosses (with the exception of Kree since his pretty much immune to melee). However, 96 herblore for overloads IMO is a top priority when getting into PVM and herblore is a very expensive skill to train, also, huge PVM profits really only start once you are able to beat bosses like Nex and Raxxor and you'll likely need t90s weapons, Ammy of souls, and t80s armor at least for these bosses.

This all assumes you have hundreds of millions of gp to burn. Skills are expensive, and gear/abilities are even more so.

[@Nshadowtail]

Most of the skills needed for PvM aren't *that* expensive... Archaeology is meant to be trained with you gathering most of your own materials (remember to switch to caches once you have enough damaged artifacts), herblore can be profitable if you're willing to accept a middling XP rate, summoning and prayer aren't too crazy these days, and dungeoneering is free. T80+ weapons are easy too-- T85 melees are less than 2M for the pair, and T80 ranged/mage can be done with an attuned crystal seed; you get one for free by talking to the NPC by the singing bowl if you have the levels to craft one and haven't yet. Arma armor costs 27M right now, but the T60 demon slayer armor (4M) is good enough to start with.

[@patrickmarelli7940]

ya, but not having to refresh it is op when using brews... you basically can't use brews if you don't have ovlds. plus if you get to 96 might as well go to 99 to boost up to elder overloads that give +21 to 99 stats. plus the combination overloads that will help save inv spaces (though expensive)

I think I understand where you're coming from. The goals I set out in this video to become pvm ready are quite steep and require some serious grinding. I'm aware of that but these things will be needed to be effective in pvm, you can get started with less (as stated in the video) but the things mentioned are goals to work towards. You will of course not get all of these within a day of work.
