Since Grinding Nex I have realised that some of its random drops are really bad. Nex currently drops 1 uncut sapphire, 1 uncut emerald, 1 uncut diamond and 1 uncut ruby and 40 unnoted torstols whereas it also drops 2400 noted coal, 200 noted green dragonhide, 375 noted magic logs and 4800 noted pure ess. I think the noted drops are fine as these supplies are really helpful for all players but think that sapphires and emeralds should get removed from the table as there useless and make all the other uncut gems drop in noted quantities of at least 100, so that's rubies, diamonds and dragonstones. other noted skilling supplies that would be useful for late game ironman and supplies that sell well to regular players such as rune bars etc would be a good drop to add to the boss as doing a 20-25 minute kill for a uncut sapphire is not worth if and can be off putting for such an amazing boss with great mechanics. I understand that it is all Rng based but for such a risky boss I think the random drops could be a lot better.

Commander Zilyana (Saradomin) Guide About the boss Commander Zilyana is a level 596 boss who resides in the Saradomin area of Godwars Dungeon. Commander Zilyana attacks with very accurate and rapid Melee and Magic attacks, She will only use her Magic attacks at melee distance Commander Zilyana has 3 minions in his boss room that attack with all three styles of combat. How to get to Commander Zilyana To get to Commander Zilyana type Once you have arrived click on the rock to go down into the entrance of the boss room. Click on the door and pay the 500k entrance fee to be teleported into the boss room. If the boss room is occupied you can use the instance there which is 1m coins for Ironmen and 5m coins for regular players. Keep in mind that instances are dangerous and all items will be lost on Death! Gear and Inventory To Fight commander Zilyana you can use any combat style to defeat her. Range is the most popular method as using swift gloves appears to be the most effective. In this guide I will cover all three combat styles and the different methods used with each style. Below I have shown the three setups that I have used in this video. Magic is the most difficult setup as you take more damage using that so I went for a mid tier rather than a welfare setup. Welfare Melee Mid Tier Magic Welfare Range Melee and Range Inventory Magic Inventory The Boss Fight Commander Zilyana has three minions called Starlight, Growler and Bree They all have there own attack styles as shown below. Starlight (Melee) Growler (Magic) Bree (Range) Melee When using Melee to defeat Commander Zilyana the strategy it to protect against magic and activate turmoil and use the steel titan to focus on Bree and Starlight while you take on Zilyana so you take less damage from the minions. Range The strategy with range is to protect against melee and activate rigour and run around the boss room keeping at a distance from Commander Zilyana while using the titan to focus on Growler and Bree so you take less damage. Magic The Strategy with Magic is very similar to range where you protect from melee and use Augury and run around the boss room keeping at a distance from Commander Zilyana while using the titan to focus on Growler and Bree so you take less damage. With the magic setup you also want to take advantage of when the minions are close to each other as the multi blood barrage attack can hit them both healing you for more hitpoints. The Lootations Commander Zilyana has good drop table which consists of the Saradomin Hilt used to make the Saradomin Godsword which is great for ironmen as the special attack heals you hitpoints by what you hit. Commander Zilyana also drops the Armadyl Crossbow along with the Saradomin's Whisper, Murmur and Hiss. The minions all have the same drop table and drop rate as shown below. Commander Zilyana Minions Video Demonstration Below is a video demonstration of all three combat styles being used to defeat Commander Zilyana using the gear as explained above.

support I think this would be a great idea as I often work weekends so depending which day I work I don't have much or any time at all to grind the event for that day. I also think that what Goddess said about having the rewards on days in the week would be great aswell as whenever it comes to training dung I just wait until Friday as It is not worth doing it on any other day.

check out my pvm guides and lemme know what you think. I'm gonna make a full detailed Nex guide soon.

nex solo hardcore ironman.mp4 Nex solo on the Hardcore. If this post gets 25 reactions I will upload a video of me doing Nex in Full Armadyl or maybe even Black Dragonhide you guys can decide. Nex Guide Coming Very Soon!

nice guide very useful for finding any of the above as now it's all in one place . Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more of these.

support would be a great idea as stated above a lot of players ask where these are located so they can obtain the full slayer helmet.

Amazing guide Kari, perfect layout and straight to the point. Love how you cover several options for donators and non-donators also. I look forward to seeing more of these for the other skills in the game.

General Graador (Bandos) Guide About the boss General Graador is a level 624 boss that has 2540 hitpoints and resides In the Bandos area of Godwars Dungeon. General Graador has 2/3 of a chance to attack with melee which is his main attack style and a 1/3 chance to attack with ranged where he slams the ground. General Graador has 3 minions in his boss room that attack with all three styles of combat How to get to General Graador To get to General Graador do Once you arrive run north-east until you come to this door Click on the door and pay the 500k entrance fee to be teleported into the boss room. If the boss room is occupied you can use the instance there which is 1m coins for Ironmen and 5m coins for regular players. Keep in mind that instances are dangerous and all items will be lost on Death! Gear and Inventory To fight General Graador you are going to want to use your best melee gear possible. Below I have shown an High Tier, Mid tier and Welfare setup that can all be used to defeat General Graador. High Tier Mid Tier Welfare For the Inventory you are going to want to take as shown below. The Boss Fight General Graador has three minions called Sergeant Strongstack, Sergeant Steelwill and Sergeant Grimspike They all have there own attack styles as shown below. Sergeant Strongstack (Melee) Sergeant Steelwill (Magic) Sergeant Grimspike (Ranged) When you are ready teleport to Bandos pray melee as shown below and enter the boss room to begin the Boss fight. The strategy with General Graador is to use the steel titan to attack Steelwill and Grimspike using the steel titans special attack to kill them quickly. This reduces the damage you take allowing you to focus on General Graador. Once General Graador is finished you can attack Strongstack if you have enough time before General Graador respawns but this is not essential as he does no damage to you as you are always praying melee while in the boss room. The Lootations General Graador has a very nice drop table which includes Bandos armour and the Bandos Godsword and is a very good way to make starter cash on Ely as with a recent update the minions now drop items too as shown below. General Graador's Drop Table Sergeant Strongstack's Drop Table Sergeant Grimspike's Drop table Sergeant Steelwill's Drop Table Video Demonstration Below is a video of me showing the strategy that I explained above to defeat General Graador a few times.

Kalphite Queen Guide About the boss The Kalphite Queen has a combat level of 333, each form has 2550 Hitpoints, and her Ranged and Magic attacks have very high accuracy. She may also use a decently accurate Melee attack. The Queen has two forms: the first, she is an immense scarab beetle, and in her second, a giant wasp. She switches forms ONLY after the first has been fully defeated. As a beetle, she is extremely resistant to Magic and Ranged attacks, as indicated by her overhead prayers. As a wasp, she is resistant to Melee attacks although it is still viable to use melee on both phases when using a steel titan as its special attacks do range damage. Kalphite Queen DOES NOT require you to be on a slayer task in order to defeat it. How to get to Kalphite Queen To get to Kalphite Queen do Once you arrive click on the tunnel below to enter the Kalphite lair Once in the lair run south and you will find the Kalphite Queen. there is not currently an instance for this boss at the moment but I believe one will be added soon. Gear and Inventory To fight the Kalphite Queen you are going to want to use your best melee gear. It is advised to kill Kalphite Queen while on a slayer task so you have the bonus damage but it is not essential and Kalphite queen can still be easily killed without being on task. Divine is not essential but helps reduce the damage received as Kalphite Queen has accurate attacks. Below are examples of High and Mid tear gear that is effective at Kalphite Queen. High Tier Mid Tier For the Inventory you are going to want to take as shown below. The Boss Fight Once you are ready to fight Kalphite Queen teleport there and enter the lair. With the setup above the tactic is to melee the first phase using titan to attack then during the second phase spam the titans special attacks as they do range based damage and will kill the second form quickly. If using a divine you can soulsplit Kalphite Queen but if using a DFS or Dragon Defender then its best to protect against magic. The Lootations Kalphite Queen drops various items such as skilling supplies. The most popular drops are the Primal Spear and the KQ head for the recolouring of the slayer helmet. Video Demonstration Below is a video of me demonstrating how to kill Kalphite Queen as explained above. Kalphite.mp4

Kraken Guide About the boss Kraken is a level 291 Boss that requires you have Kraken as a Slayer task in order to defeat him. Kraken Can be Found on Boss slayer tasks which require you to have 90 Slayer to access. Kraken is very weak to Magic, even though it uses Magic as its attack style.

The instance costs 500k for regular players and 100k for ironmen. Gear and Inventory Kraken is weak to Magic so you want to use your best offensive magic gear.

support

Hi, I've noticed that the ACP and guardian tunic only have a difference of +4 range bonus whereas ACS and guardian chaps have a difference of +25 in range bonus. I feel that Guardian tunic needs a buff in range bonus as ACP has better defense stats than guardian tunic and guardian tunic is an item that goes for 3-5b whereas you can get an ACP for 100m or less so for the significant price difference you are only getting +4 range bonus.

1. If you are going to make a well of goodwill just for ironmen and separate it from regular accounts then I believe that the price required for the boosts should be dropped significantly as no Ironman is gonna spend the current amount required for the boost as it takes far too long to gain that amount of Gp. Also if it changes for ironmen then I Think Legends should have it changed too as this is also suppose to be a difficult game mode and with the amount of xp advantage the well can offer plus using a vote ticket on top of that boost eliminates the challenge of it. I don't mind Ironmen not having access to the well but I feel it would only be fair if the same applied to Legend accounts aswell. 2. I don't see a problem with the current rewards offered for ironmen. Sure the insta kill darts are op for ironmen but you only get 3 and it would encourage people who only play ironmen accounts like myself to vote and compete for the top 3 votes to get those darts. Also as another player mentioned patron ironmen accounts have been getting them since that came out so I don't see an issue here. As with the super mystery boxes I don't mind whether ironmen get these or not but it would be another motivation for ironmen to vote daily. As for the vote tickets they can stay the same but if you are planning on removing the darts and super mystery boxes then I believe that you need decent replacements because if it stands as ironmen only getting 10 vote tickets for top 3 votes then I personally don't feel that is enough of a reward to vote every 12 hours for a whole month to get it as you can get more votes than that from voting twice.

What do you really think of Ely in its current state? As a new player of Ely I feel like this server has a lot of potential but in its current state it lacks a lot of things. As a hardcore ironman my goal was to get the completionist Cape without dying which I have recently achieved. Throughout my journey there I have noticed that the majority of players online are afk or just stand at home talking as they have nothing to do. Since reaching my goal I no longer feel that motivated to play as I feel I have covered the majority of the content and that difficult content such as grinding nex does not appeal to me as I have had no struggle with the current bosses with my current gear and the time and effort it would take to get one kill for a chance at a drop just isn't worth it. I also don't feel like getting 5b xp as once I achieve it I will be in the same position I am in now. What makes you come back to play everyday? The players who currently play the server. This server has a real family feel to it where all the players I have spoken to are really friendly and welcoming. I also liked the idea of having a hardcore ironman with endgame gear which I have achieved some of that already but even with these two things it is difficult to come back every day sometimes. What would you really like to see in the future of Ely? I think doing polls for updates would be an amazing idea as this will make the players feel more involved in the server and this will attract new players to stay if they feel like the owner acknowledges what they want. I think advertising is also a big thing and it would be nice to see more content put out there to make the server more known. I also agree with the fact that everything that is obtainable by donating should be available in game as this sucks for an ironman and can be demotivating.
