Prestige Guide

## Summary

This is a guide on how to run through prestiges efficiently. This is made to be as noob-friendly as possible. More experienced players will have their own unique ways of prestiging or better gear/items. Change your loadouts/gear/items how you see fit. If you are unfamiliar about the benefits of prestiges, you can view them here

## XP Buffs

There are plenty of XP buffs that help players prestige more efficiently. Here are a list of things you can obtain/do in order to maximize the amount of XP you gain.

### **Skilling Pets**

* Obtained through skilling or credits shops, skilling pets can drastically increase your xp gained. Not only does the skilling pet give exp, you can equip it with skilling pet armors/rings as well as an enchantment of xp to further boost your xp gain.

### **Shoulder Pets**

* The three starter xp shoulder pets include White Monkey F\* (5%), White Dragon F\* (10%), and White Octo F\* (25%).

* You may also obtain xp shoulder pets during seasonal events which include the Easter Egg F\*, Rubber Duck F\*, Pumpkin F\*, or Reindeer F\*. These event shoulder pets provide 50% extra xp at tier 1, 75% at tier 2, 100% at tier 3. These shoulder pets are only upgradeable and obtainable by boxes/drop during its seasonal event through the forge.

* Players with the donator rank of Master+ may obtain a Pinata F\* that provides a 50% XP bonus.

### **Adventurer's Log**

* You can claim a 2% combat XP bonus from Bennie’s Book I in the adventurer’s log for reaching 48 hours play time.

* You can claim a 1% combat XP bonus from Pirate’s Book I in the adventurer’s log for defeating 100 underwater monsters.

* You can claim a 2% combat XP bonus from Bennie’s Book II in the adventurer’s log for defeating Hecarim 10 times.

* You can claim a 3% combat XP bonus from Hanto's Book I in the adventurer's log for purchasing hanto's equipment.

### **Miscellaneous Boosts**

* On Saturday and Sunday server time, The Weekender day event will occur which provides you double XP as well as a 1% drop rate bonus.

* Players may donate a total of 5 billion gp to the Well of Goodwill for 2 hours of 50% XP bonus.

* You can obtain an extra 10% xp bonus from Skillmaster Durzag for 225 skill points.

* You can gain another 10% xp bonus from the Prestige Master for 7 prestige points.

* Book of Exoras/Wisdoms will provide a 50% experience bonus for 10 minutes. It is advised to use the Book of Exoras instead of Book of Wisdom because the book of Exoras will provide a 10% increase hit rate resulting in faster XP and are also more obtainable.

* During seasonal events, you can kill seasonal monsters for a chance of receiving candy. Each event will have a candy that provides an extra 10% XP bonus for 5 minutes.

### **Prayer**

* There is a prayer totem (tr) that will give you a 5% chance to receive 50% more XP on bones offered at the altar.

## Pre-Requisites

There are a few things you should note before beginning your prestige grind:

* There is an option to turn off the level up dialogue. Go to settings -> settings manager -> LevelUp Dialogue should be x’ed out.

* These methods will require players to reach 70 agility in order to access the Danzig's Hunting Grounds.

* A stoneshatter pickaxe (melee), Ents Handaxe(melee), or hunter's harpoon (melee), and a myeclial hoe (magic).

* Slayer unlock for ebonchill dragons (not required as explained later).

* Set a bank preset for your melee armor setup such as this:

* You may use regular prayers (not suggested) but curse prayers will be the best especially if you have unlocked Malevolence, Desolation, and Affliction. To access curses, type ::curseson or ::cursesoff to go back to regular prayers.

## Leveling Prayer

Leveling Prayer will be the first thing to max after prestiging. Remember to equip whatever xp shoulder pet you have access too as well as the prayer totem (tr).

What bones you will use will depend on your financial situation. The three most common used bones are magma bones, ebonchill bones, and brimstone bones.

 Ebonchill Bones
 Brimstone Bones

## Leveling Melee

After you have leveled your prayer to 99, it is time to start melee. For melee, you will need 70 agility as well as a melee skilling weapon shown in the Pre-Requisites. If you have the bank preset for melee saved already, equip it and teleport to the woodcutting teleport in the teleports menu.

After you have teleported, look south and go towards the branches to reach the Danzig's Hunting Grounds.

Depending on which weapon you equipped, you will go to that specific monster. In this example, I have a stoneshatter pickaxe equipped so I will attack the gemstone crabs found in the south west corner.

There are two ways to go about leveling melee. You can level it on controlled mode where all stats are leveled up equally or you can start controlled and eventually max out strength/attack first and defense. It may be beneficial to use controlled until whatever your highest equipment’s defense level requires.

* Note: You are only able to use curses after you have hit level 30 defense. The monsters might hit hard at first so make sure your health stays high. Once you have hit level 30 defense, turn on deflect melee and turmoil/malevolence (if unlocked).

Maxing melee will take the longest out of all the combats because you need to level up 3 stats before you move onto the next.

## Leveling Magic

Before you start leveling, equip something similar to this. With 99 defense already done, you will be able to wear event equipment from level 1 magic.

Equip whatever gear you are able to such as this:

* It is recommended to wear mage gear that does not have too low of a range bonus. This is for the ballistas at ::zstorm later on. Event Mage gear will work perfectly for this.

Load your inventory similar to melee but with mage runes:

To start off leveling magic, you can return to the danzig hunting grounds and go north west to the zygomites. Here you will pray magic and with a mycelial hoe, you will do increased damage to zygomites. Level your magic up to 68-72 (72 is suggested for true exo staff if you have one) for the ability to use Blood Burst in the ::ancients spellbook.

Once you have reached level 68-72, teleport home and equip whatever staff you are able to. At level 68, you are able to equip the exo staff, but not the true exo staff. If you do have the true exo staff, it is recommended to level your magic up to 72 before teleporting home. You may choose to get rid of the runes that you don’t need for ancient magics (mind/earth runes) and fill your inventory with better gear for when you reach higher magic levels.

### Leveling Magic at ZStorm

Once you are fully geared up, type ::zstorm. This will teleport you to the ZStorm minigame where you must defend the castle against zombies. This area is a multi-combat zone so you are able to attack multiple zombies with 1 AOE (Area of Effect) spell.

* To start the minigame, make sure Blood/Ice Burst is autocasted. As you reach level 86, smoke barrage becomes available. You should use whichever AOE spell has the highest magic requirement. (Only Burst/Barrage spells have AOE).

* It is recommended to start attacking the east indoor wall first since there are only 2 walls and it is prone to being destroyed. While you do this minigame, it is also recommended to bring an alt account to repair the walls for you. Once you have killed all the zombies indoors, go up the stairs on the west side that lead to the outer wall. Kill these zombies next.

* Please note that it is not necessary to focus on killing the north wall zombies first. While potentially unintended, the walls’ hp will go into the negatives and will not crash the minigame. After you kill the north zombies, another wave will respawn. Once the wave ends, you will be rewarded a ballista. Place the ballista down for passive range XP while you are leveling magic. After placing the ballista down, type ::zstorm again to teleport quickly indoors to attack the indoor zombies.

* To gain more damage with the ballistas, you can equip arrows for increased ranged str. This will result in more ballista damage which results in more ranged xp gained.

* After you have completed 99 magic, it is common courtesy to leave the north wall zombies. You may kill the indoor zombies as well as the west side zombies and the north wall will continue losing hp until the next person comes and decides to level up magic. The reason for leaving the north wall is so that the next person that comes to level magic, they will already have a big wave of zombies which results in faster XP.

## Leveling Ranged

If you placed your ballistas during zstorm, you should have enough ranged level to equip an exo bow. If not, a beginner bow will suffice until you have lvl 60 ranged for the exo bow.

Just like you did for magic, equip something similar to this or whatever your best gear is.

There are two ways you can go about leveling ranged. It is suggested to kill ebonchill dragons to level up ranged (also gives you bones for next prestige) or to do slayer (for chance of making money with superiors). Leveling Ranged is self-explanatory and you should equip whatever bow/gear you have when you hit the level requirements.
