Bossing on a BUDGET | Mid-high level bosses with AFFORDABLE gear

This was a challenging video to make! I took the advice following my previous video, and applied it here. How far can you get with affordable gear? Assuming you've seen my previous video, you'll see that I was able to take ~15m in gear and beat all the way up to arraxor. Today, I've obtained "upgrades" and really pushed the boundaries of my challenges!

It was worth every second :) This is not a Golden Nugget it's the entire Gold Mine!!

[@Gstlarox135]

Absolutely love the honesty of not cutting the struggles when they happen. The extra bits of hindsight "Doing this would've helped" as well as just showing it's perfectly fine not to get it all right every time is super motivating as a player still trying to learn more content & get more comfortable with the game. Another awesome video, looking forward to see what else you have in store for us

[@RheyoRS]

I appreciate this comment a lot dude, I try to make myself as transparent as possible! I fail so much more than what is seen in my videos (which is already a lot), and those who watch me stream can confirm that 100% 😂

[@DIFY]

Second this!

[@redo94sayit2times]

People will complain about anything bro keep the guides coming as a newer player I find these guides very helpful ty for your time.

[@marthpwner]

"This video is extremely long" As someone who found your channel with the previous video, even if I'm not using this as a guide, it's entertaining. I'm glad it's long so I have something to listen to. Thank you.

[@RheyoRS]

I appreciate you dude 🙌🏼

[@DIFY]

Awesome video, great length too! Don't you ever stop explaining small simple mechanics. It's like the small golden nuggets on the channel! Love those!

[@RheyoRS]

thank you dude 🙌

[@patrickigbo9596]

Great vid. This is an example that knowledge is power, even when using revolution. Knowing what abilities do and when can greatly improve dps for 0gp. I personally think BiS isnt needed for 95% of pvm. Some decent t85-90 combo and knowing how to use abilities/knowing boss mechanics can take you very far.

[@RheyoRS]

Thank you dude 🙌🏼

[@AzNZinc]

Hey, just wanted to say that this video is absolutely amazing for players like me who were afraid to take the plunge into pvm even though I personally have juiced gear but no experience as well, and seeing someone who was experienced use relatively budget gear meant that to scale: I could do the content with even better gear. I have recently been just chunking away at NM Kerapac and my gp gains from PvM have been nothing short of skyrocketing and I'm pretty much prepped for Necromancy. Hope to see your guides on it in the future and to anyone who wants to get into PvM: Go for it! The powercreep in current Runescape is absolutely insane and content hasn't been more doable in ages.

[@iSin_]

I just got back into the game and glad I found this video. All I have on me is Tetsu sets with double Drygore Rapier. I am going to try these bosses you listed. Helpful video!

[@HummusPvm]

Absoloutely came at 43 minutes. Havent watched yet but i just wanna thank you for making this video. I always pvmed in t70 shitgear untill i got most of my weapon upgrades, and swapped to better gear. Always thought someone should make a series like this or at least one video showcasing so people start believing in themselves. A lot of players think you need endgame gear for practically anything slighty challenging. I would make videos, but my computer is too bad for video making it gets HELLA laggy. But again Im so hyped someone showed this!! So thankful!!

[@HummusPvm]

Just for anybody reading. I melee everything and just the other week i thought lets see how raksha is with no gear, so i took everything off except for jaws of the abyss. I still managed to hit a poolskip on phase 2 first try, and my killtime was surprisingly almost the same as it is usually with armor. Armor is super overrated.

[@juancamacho479]

I wish i saw this guide sooner, spent the last 3 days trying ot kill zuk, and kept dying to triple Jads, (I only melee) i just couldnt figure out where to stand, sometimes i would get 1 at the time, sometiems 2, and sometimes all of them attacking me, I eventually managed to kill zuk and get the cape upgrade, but man, would of saved me so much time with this guide.

[@RheyoRS]

Haha I feel that dude, congrats on your cape 🙌🏼

[@jdoe4983]

Love long videos. I find it so funny how mad reddit was at the last video.

[@RheyoRS]

Yeah I was taken back a bit, I had a feeling it wouldn't please everyone, but some of the takes caught me off guard.

[@Kranon]

Reddit is that kind of echo chamber that thinks they know everything about the game, yet they don't like to play it, they'd much rather AFK and play something else. Oh yeah, but they also want 100M/Hr Methods so they can buy PVM upgrades they'll never use....

[@robertgracey1311]

@@Kranon You're just as bad as redditors with your baseless "look at these plebs" statements just because maybe 10 of them out of the 7000 people that looked at the page had a bad take. I use the sub-reddit, I had criticisms on the last video (that I relayed constructively IMO)...I'm also a multi-month sub to Rheyo on twitch, I don't know everything about the game and I am hundreds of kills deep into my core grind at glacor which I would love to be afk. Maybe youtube is just that kind of echo chamber where shills for the creator who think they know everything about another community come out, because they'd much rather be a jerk regarding people they don't even know. Oh yeah, but they also want to look like the good guy when doing it.

[@HashTheGrappler]

melee is an excellent combat style to start with on a budget. It’s surprising how much dpm u can pump out of melee with just gbarge as an upgrade.

[@steelblood4116]

Great video. Zuk is like, a massive barrier for me right now. All my gear is pretty much 85-87 with some 90s. I also generally use 2h set ups over dual wield. So with budget gear, and very little PvM experience (hardest boss I've solo'd is Vindicta, and even that was rough), seemed like I'd never get those capes that I want sooo badly. Seeing it done though motivates me a lot to try again next time I play RS, so thanks!

[@RheyoRS]

Good luck dude, Zuk took me a while to warm up to. Once you get the cape it takes a ton of pressure off your shoulders, it doesn't feel as "be all end all" the second time around, if that makes sense. Keep pushing through the struggles and you'll get it!

[@steelblood4116]

@@RheyoRS Thanks, I bookmarked your video for when I eventually try so I'll be watching it a few more times lol. Might come back for summer event or Necromancy. I'd play more, but with bond prices it's exhausting.

[@coreydishmon]

Refreshing seeing PvM content like this and the video before this. instead of;what the other KZbinrs always saying, "Just use Animate Dead with Ganodermic or Cryptbloom armor oh wait.. let's add ridiculous amounts of other switches with billions more worth of gear then you'll be able to make all kinds of GP".. Laziness and not enjoyable in the slightest. Also, you actually showing your shortcomings and not cutting it so we can visually see for ourselves how to do better while using the bare minimum armor and abilities it's nice. I'm a end game 19 plus years player so content like this is what I'm looking for in guides for the lower level player base to inspire not intemadate away. Keep up the good material.

[@Wall1s]

Just wanted to add on to what he said about adrenaline renewals. If you find someone who is willing to let you assist with 119 herblore you can use the improved+2 recipe saving you supplies as well.

[@RazorIsEpic]

Great video lad. Might get me to properly invest into melee.

[@RheyoRS]

Thanks dude, good luck with it!

[@Zayelion]

As a combat cripple loved the long form video. Something that's really helped me out is and allowed me to max my melee is an EOF with a saradomin godsword.

[@RheyoRS]

SGS eof is a great eof, I use it when doing semi-afk content and it’s a huge supplies saver

[@codywatson189]

I really wish there was a setting to share UI setup because I love yours Great Video thanks!

[@changes8]

I prefer the longer videos with great content and much teaching

[@illo450]

Can you do it for ranged? 😢 plz!!!!

[@JasherIO]

Penance powder can be acquired daily without a large GP investment. Light Within (this does take while) -> Rapid Growth -> Dundee Upgrades (takes 2-3 hours)

[@christianbarrett3040]

For beginner setups, it may be worth the lower DPS to use Debilitate on the revolution bar. It helps a lot. I use it to help afk Corp.

[@Kraust]

This is a much better video than the last one.

[@strawberrybubbly4143]

Newer rs3 player coming from OSRS. How do you put a value on a perk? I’m still learning how to get these components..also you make melee look so enjoyable, I’ve been considering stopping my range progression in gear to pick up melee! Love all the series

[@RheyoRS]

When you say value of the perk, what do you mean exactly? Value like tier of the perk, or value in sense of how important it is in your progression?

[@strawberrybubbly4143]

@@RheyoRS I guess I mean when you say that the perks were about 1mil a piece, is that the cost of the objects used to gain the components?

[@RheyoRS]

Ohh okay yes, it’s an average cost. The components you use to get specific perks can come from various sources, some only come from one source, etc. and at that, some special components are guaranteed while others aren’t. For example Faceted components are a rare component used for the Enhanced Devoted perk, which come from various glass items in game like crystal flasks, but it can also come from vials. Depending on which route you choose, you could spend more or less in that specific component. If you wiki the component though, it’ll have an Average Value for that component, which I believe takes all possible methods into consideration to find that figure. Then after that, you have to consider the amount of that component used for each attempt of the perk you’re going for, and then on average, how often will you get that perk? So if a faceted component costs 10k for example, it takes 8 for a chance at enhanced devoted 4, that’s 80k per attempt, and if it takes an average of 10 tries to get it, it’ll cost an average of 800k. That’s not the actual value of the components I don’t think, just using it as an example. For this video though, I just referred to the pvme discord perk channel as they have average values listed for all recommend perks.

[@CummyPancakes]

FYI! For Pools on Raksha, Matusa's Warspear is a Halberd range weapon and only costs like 2 mil. And I think Lac boots are super cheap too. Although can't remember off the top of my head.

[@RheyoRS]

I completely forgot about that! That would've been a better investment for the sake of this video. And yeah Lacerations have a mid of like 600k, but depending on demand can go for about 1-1.5m. Very cheap, useful power boots

[@bosstweed83]

T82 can hit below the pools hp, no?

[@CummyPancakes]

@@bosstweed83 as you saw in the video. It can also hit below if you have Laniakeas spear. I think the only way to guarantee is to have t80 + power with P6 and E2.

@CummyPancakes ah yes, didn't even think about the armor strength bonus.

[@BriflexHikes]

[@luciusdarkvanyar2851]

Do you recommend Melee in PVM for a midgame player? So many people say Magic is best but you make Melee look so fun and potent.

[@RheyoRS]

I recommend whatever style you like the most! Melee is a cheaper buy-in than the other styles, but more difficult to master. I started with melee myself just because I love the aesthetic, and I believe that set me up well when learning range and mage. Most people suggest mage because it’s not only strong, but learner friendly as well. Whichever you prefer is the way to go!

[@Knappster125]

@@RheyoRS Which one is more effective in your opinion? I don't have FSOA so I find Melee enticing because I can get a lot further with my gp. Edit: I have about 800m currently so I can get GBarge, GFlurry, Abyssal Scourge, etc... decent setup. I do already have Gconc though

[@RheyoRS]

If you’re up for melee I’d recommend that, it is more difficult to play just a fair warning but it’s very worth learning.

[@RheyoRS]

I’ve had mine for a few years, I believe I got mine around 400m or so. I was just going by the mid ge value at the time of the video.

[@HummusPvm]

K after watching my only criticism is why did you put the handicap of not using manual abilities? That felt super weird. A better thing would at least be put 5-6 basics on revo, and then just manually do barge zerk assault cane and destroy. Thats not even many binds either. Idk it just felt weird to watch you 4head revo it all the way like as you said yourself there are guides where people revo afk pretty much anything so yea idk it just felt a bit useless. Other than that Im excited to see you use overpower now as well and do more difficult bosses in this setup (hopefully with manual tho x) )

[@RheyoRS]

This was addressed in the beginning of the video. In the first iteration of this, I used full manual, and someone suggested revo because most newer players will gravitate towards revo.

[@actual_sapenzki]

What the heck is that revo bar supposed to be for? It's so awful. Wikians doing crack I'd assume.

what the hell am i doing wrong ur faster than my t90 mage setup with t80 armor reaper neckalce and enhance kerac wristwraps wtf and 2 debuff i hate how noob i am

[@RheyoRS]

When I first got into pvm, I was using t90 tectonic and nox staff, and I couldn’t do a fraction of what I’m able to do today. It takes practice and patience, but it does work out eventually I guarantee it 🙌🏼 my best recommendation is challenging yourself to do a boss a step up from what you normally do, and doing it over and over until you learn it, then eventually once you learn it find out how to do it more effectively. By effective, i don’t necessarily mean kill times necessarily, but being able to reduce your food intake, skip mechanics, etc. Learning one boss really well makes all the following encounters a little bit easier.
