[@russ4550]

I keep seeing different opinions on whether I should use void or not at 75 range with blowpipe half say black dhide is better until 92 range and other half just say void is better. You clearly know what you're talking about here so what do you think?

[@GnomonkeyRS]

@@russ4550 I don't know the exact level it overtakes, I thought Woox graphed it but I can't find it. It depends on the monsters defence, I would think at 75+ void would be better than Arma for monsters with 0 defence, wouldn't hurt to throw it into the calculator.

lmfao I usually don't shake during a game. When jad comes out I shake and fail. 3rd fail so far. x.x

[@JOKERSMOKE104]

after almost 14 years of playing this game, not once have I ever killed Jad, even after numerous attempts, but my first attempt I try after watching your guide, I can finally say I have a fire cape, I hope anyone that needs help with Jad or is new to the game finds this guide, and has the adrenaline filled smile that I have, right now, thank you.

[@runemaster861]

You can also get there from the Tzhaar fightpits minigame teleport. The granite ring and Lumbridge ring are options for low levels over no ring at all.

[@JS-sv4ol]

COMPLETED. 3rd try was the charm today after two failed back to back grinds yesterday (freaked out on healers/zero practice ahead of time) the simulator made all the difference (also did not use hot keys because I’m playing from a laptop) Much appreciated for this guide!! 15yr dream achieved 😊

[@gdaygerman29]

Since nerves are absolutely the biggest killer in the fight caves, another tip I use is to take a break when you hit wave 62, it seriously helps relieve the tension built up over the previous waves.

[@Swan584]

And lag, I get like 10 fps on jad wave

[@damanorelse]

You have some of the best presented and most informative guides for Old school, I assumed you would have way more subscribers. FYI, I think the actual fastest teleport is the Fight Pits minigame teleport. the attempt before I finally beat Jad, I switched to a crossbow and had managed to safespot all of Jad's healers for the first time, but I had never heard the enchanted diamond bolt effect sound before, so I thought Jad was still getting healed. while i zoomed the camera to try and find the hidden healer, I missed a prayer. If only i followed your example and played with sounds off.

[@zackattack2791]

I put off getting a fire cape for so long finally got it at 118 combat took me 3 attempts, thanks for the guide you handsome bastard. 👍

On my first try i made it to Jad but died to the healers because i ran out of brews. It took me 2 hours 20 min to get to jad. Not mad tho because i tanked two jad hits. Also when i lost a iron man was outside who gave me advice i could use chins to tag all healers at once so at least im more prepared. My hands were shaking so hard when at Jad in fact it is still shaking when im typing this. Im gonna sleep and probably attempt tomorrow. Ok i will stop writing a essay now. Edit: Next attempt I killed jad. It took 2 hours 25 min. I was using a rune crossbow and full blessed d hide. I did this on mobile and this was my first firecape. Thx for the guide.

[@OhTaco77]

Bro on my 2nd try i did use chins to lure all healers but they tagging me hard before i run out of sara brews i guess i need to up my def before trying again i thought those healers don't hurt like wtf

Vespr I found Karil’s worked for me cause I was messing up and it having higher defense stats. 75 range and 70 def 70 prayer. Took me like 50 minutes though, I’m quite new to PvM.

[@sand1573]

just did this with 78 range 73 defense after a few attempts. I would recommend bringing more dark crabs/manta rays than gnome suggests. I had 4 or 5 prayer potions leftover and no food. I think 10 food would be better.

@@sand1573 Thanks, I've already done it now and I did it on my first try (i done it on an old account before so it wasn't as nerve racking as it was my first time ever), but its a bit weird because I wore everything you wore, i was level 77 range (hit 78 range mid fight cave) and i had 75 defence and i only ate 4 food (manta ray) out of the 10, drank 7.5 prayer pots out of the 13, i mainly relied on my spec attack for health regen thats prob why i ate so little.

[@sand1573]

@@sho8557 I must have taken a lot of bad damage or you had a lot better rng than me. I remember getting unlucky with specs which may have been because I was being impatient and using them on lvl 360 instead of rangers

[@sho8557]

@@sand1573 yeah I think thats what it might've been. I was hitting 20's+ on the rangers and the 180's. That's probably why I was recovering a lot of my health. I don't know what your helm and legs were but mine were Verac's so maybe I was also able to tank damage better than you, because the minions barely did any damage to me when I was fighting Jad.

[@oll1694]

Watched this guide and got it on 2nd attempt ty bro!

[@MischeifMakerz]

Great guide! One suggestion, for those struggling, it may be beneficial to bring some Saradomin brews for healing. Saradomin brews drain combat stats, so you must bring Super Restore potions to offset the stats drain, with a ratio of 3 brew doses eaten for every 1 super restore dose taken. Brews can also over-heal your health above max, and boosts your defence level also, which helps. The super restores can also substitute for prayer potions since they regenerate MORE prayer points than prayer potions, so they make up for taking a few brews instead of prayer pots. For those struggling to reach Tztok-Jad due to supplies running out, I highly suggest taking 6-9 brews and the rest super restores, with 2-3 ranging potions. Bastions and prayer potions aren’t required thanks to the brews and super restores, respectively. Good luck everyone! P.s. if you struggle to aggro the healers onto you so they stop healing Jad, bring a few red chins. You should be able to hit Jad with the Red Chinchompas, which will explode and do Area-of-Effect (AOE) damage, aggro’ing the healers all at once, super easily. You can then use the red chins to kill the healers faster, as it will do AOE damage to them, allowing you to get them out of the way and focusing on Jad much faster.

[@delaflow3289]

Finally a smart way to deal with healers, thats the only big issue with the fight caves

[@OhTaco77]

I did use chins to lure the healers and they are all on me and their damage ain't funny and i ran out of sara brews

Amazing guide thank you dawg

[@99SlayerTab]

Nice guide I still need to do this!

[@Soarvivor]

I did my frist attempt with full void and a blowpipe, with the same inventory set up shown in the video (prayer pots and 8 mantas), and ran out of food fairly early on. I had to keep waiting for my blowpipe specs to regen which took ages. Died at Jad because the healers slowly whittled me down. I think the total time was around 3 hours or so which I did over the course of a day. My second attempt used a RCB with granite shield, Verac's helm, skirt, and black d'hide body. Inven was 8 Sara brews, 12 super restores, 4 prayer pots with broad bolts and diamond bolt (e)s for the 360s and Jad. Took much less damage from the rangers and also quite little from the healers, though there were only 3 that spawned? Ended with at least 4 Sara brews and like 6 restores. Stats were 75 def, 77 range. Succeeded with a time of 2 hrs 10 minutes.

[@kimberly4275]

Never listen to guides made with max stats

[@FutureChris]

I would suggest this inv and build, but bring 1 sup restore and 1 sara brew for the Jad fight, just in case you mess up on prayer switch, you might be able to tank a hit or 2 if you have enough starting hp.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Agreed I feel like I was very stingy with the food actually and being able to overheal for jad is handy

[@FutureChris]

@@GnomonkeyRS Awesome and thanks, I followed your guide last night with my slight tweak and got 2 fire capes, tanked a 58 had hit as well very easily, base 85 range, base 86 hp.

[@fredricktheman]

The thumbnail made me sub

[@Jaywithoutnumbers]

Good luck to people doing this for the first time, biggest advice i can give is to just relax, there's enough time between Jad attacks to drink a pot or eat some food AND switch prayers, use F keys to switch between inventory and prayer book fast. ignore the people that say "Jad is so easy" because it almost certainly wasn't for everyone's first kill. it will become easy after you do it a few times, but those people are just misleading.

[@TheUndulyNoted]

How I did it first try: watch a KZbin jad fight with sounds active, while watching it, change prayers accordingly on your real account, you will become used to the sounds of each attack. After doing this for 20 mins or so I don't even need to look at jad to know what to pray, and when he sometimes spawns out of render but still attacks you, knowing these sounds is the only way to stop being smacked by him with no chance of praying correctly.

3:07 What about bringing verac full helm and skirt for defense bonuses, and god d hide for the +3 prayer boost (vambs, body and boots) and archer"s ring? (since its currently around 240k gp so its pretty accessible)

[@Spmatik]

Also any of the god blessings on the ammo slot for the prayer bonus, to try to drink prayer pots as less often as possible too

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Sounds good, you need 70 defence though and I would normally do caves before that, if you have it anyway I would skip the skirt and just take the helmet, skirt is -7 ranged attack which is pretty bad and you won't need that much defence if you have 70+

[@Gillyweed77]

How many darts do you need? And what darts do you use?

[@killerbas40]

For anyone after 3 years: amethyst darts are fine, if you got gp take 100 dragon darts for jad and equip them in the 2x mage wave. 2k zulrah scales seems enough but if you want to be safe bring 2.5k-3k ( with avas assembler 2k is plenty)

[@TheL0rd0fSpace]

What do you think of a low defense account bringing divine bastion instead of ranging pots? Also, what do you think of using Sara brew + resto sets instead of food? If you remove 8 sharks for 6 saras and 2 brews: 24 sara sips will only be worse than 8 sharks, if the account has 19 hp or less. And the higher the account's hp, the bigger this gap becomes, in favor of sara brews. Also, because you're adding 2 restos, and those restore prayer, you're basically adding 2 extra prayer pots, allowing you to be more generous with prayer usage. I had enough defense that I didn't have to care about bastions, and I had a lot of success with 2 sets of 3 brew + 1 resto. Obviously, a downside is that you're wiping your own boosts, but if you use non divine potions, or only use your combos after divines wear off, that's not as big of a deal.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Brews are a better choice with low defense, the rangers really tear through you if you have low defence and if you are forced to tank one you will need a lot of food. If doing slayer tasks on a higher level account I would always use divines, you can get through the whole caves without using food if you have high ranged and defence Edit: Brews mean bring reg boost pots instead

[@omargetem1672]

9 times later and i still cant beat JAD lmao. its bc i only have 45 defence. You cant just tank the healers the healers are actually strong enough to kill you at 45 def. If you dont tank the healers your DPS is prolly not high enough to kill the healers fast enough youd be switching prayers for 15 minutes and the longer you do that the more likely youll mess up once or twice. I have 80 range and its a struggle. But the healers are the main problem because if you mess up the prayer once or twice along the healers hitting 14s on you regularly. Its basically impossible unless you've played this game religiously without taking breaks and have a high level account and are acustom to prayer flicking. If you aren't , avoid the fight caves it will most likely demotivate you from playing the game all together.
