Jad and my attempt to kill him in the fight caves part 1
I had this on another blog so its a bit dated but I thought it may helps some of you.
I decided I wanted to go for the fire cape, so last night I thought I would go down and do a few levels just to get the hang of things and see what I might need in a full blown attack.
I have given a run down on how I did it just in case any of you are considering doing it yourself, people have different ways of doing things and as many opinions as possible will help you work out the best way for you.
I had Veracs helm and skirt, kharils body, glory ammy, and ring of recoil.
I am not sure why I wore this setup but it was listed in a guide.
I took 2 full crystal bows 20 super restore pots and 7 sharks (I cant make or get saradomin Brew).
I drank a superset before entering, a bit of a waste of time but made me feel better and that super defence tastes sooooo good .
I read a few guides and was fairly prepared but you know how it is it is easy to read but a totally different matter when you get down to it.
I went in and stood at the safe spot by the exit, over came the bat things and I finished them off before they got to me with 1 or 2 shots.
For the next lot of levels I stood in the safe spot again and waited a few seconds and wandered over to Italy, I looked out for monster coming from the right, not sure if it was NSEW but opposite the Italy boot, if there was I would finish them off quickly or take defensive maneuvers, the rest are then just waiting behind Italy you can move to the edge and shoot from there taking out 1 at a time
The worst monsters are the level 90's as they range and can get a shot in before you put protect from range on, luckily you do get a sound warning that they are approaching.
It is generally all the same until after you kill the big black wombles, again I ran back to the safe spot and waited a few seconds, wander up to Italy as soon as I hear a different noise put protect mage on as there would be a big orange frog maging me (after I get the first frog I put protect mage on before approaching Italy), you can range this from anywhere but just keep the other monsters behind Italy, if you cant see the frog and keep the others behind Italy run back to the safe spot and he will come closer go back to Italy and kill him, if he is stuck behind Italy and you have the level 90's ranging you you have no protect from range so keep protect mage on (you wont last long if you don't have it on) and range the 90's first, they can hit consistent 10's on a bad day.
I had only set out to test the waters and see what I needed for a full run but it was so easy I decided to go for it there and then, I started at 10pm I would have started a lot earlier if I knew I was going for a full run so I was pretty tired.
I had gone through all the stages and had fought the orange frogs and all the lower level monsters in 1 wave so I could see the big fight coming soon, I was franticly reading the guides to know what to do when I got to Jad and how to spot his attack styles, I hadn't planned this as I was not expecting to get this far.
As I got to what I thought must be the last wave (I kept thinking that I was on the last wave as I got all monsters in 1 wave but some how kept getting more waves)
I was at a stage when I was attacking a frog who was mageing me and had a level 90 ranging me, I was attacking the frog and tried to change to the level 90 and I couldnt move, then all of a sudden "lost connection" can you imagine my words, then all of a sudden back to the login screen, I was so gutted, I logged back in, it said I was already logged in and should try again in 60 seconds, I kept trying and got back in I was outside the cave and had 3.6k tokul in my inventory.
I suppose I was quite lucky and was killed after I was logged out, imagine if I was in the safe spot and just timed out, I would have got no Tukul.
What a way to finish, If I had been killed by getting my prayer wrong on jad or any of the other monster I could accept that but to lose connection at the last stages, I could see no reason for loss of connection I have a fast broadband connection.
I was left with a 4/10 and a 9/10 crystal bow, 3 sharks and about 5 super restore pots, now I need to take the 4/10 bow down to a seed to start again.
I was surprised how easy all of the monsters were to kill, I know I have a fairly high range level but they were so much easier than the black dragons to kill, even on the big monsters I was hitting regular 19's.
Thank god I didn't buy guthens, It might have been quicker but I was perfectly happy with my first attempt and a lot cheaper I started at 10pm and finished at just after 12, now I know what to expect it will be a lot quicker.
Due to the fact that so many people have the fire cape I am in no hurry to get one, I will try it one day but cant be bothered yet.
