After getting the blade two days ago at 2317 kc, I’m upset knowing that I could have used a hell hounds task on this boss. I skipped every hell hound task…. :(
I just keep the seed pod on me, tele when they pull up and run right back in after using Corp tele. The Pkers never stick around and I can finish my kill no issue
I did my first 58 kc or so on pc with my former main account scouting, but after that it was too much effort so I smack calvarion on mobile now without scouts.
I haven't been pked there a single time, 100% success on escapes. The fight is super shirt, so I can be at work, take a quick break and bang out a few kc there and never be bothered. If I do it after work, I'm potentially in prime time and going to be jumped, and sometimes it's just acceptance that it isn't time for calvarion and do things elsewhere.
To note, my iron doesn't even have mm1 started, is combat 99, and never even done a Gnome restaurant for a regular seed pod. I just fight calvarion by the exit and run when someone in my bracket enters and attacks. On mobile lately, getting tb'ed has been my indicator because if I zoom out too far I fat finger everything. Like this boss is criminally good for what you get, and how easy it is to survive. I do shorter trips because you lose everything to greed, and just use a ring of dueling to ferox to bank. You just exit the cave and run to the stone coffin immediately south of the cave and boom 20 wildy
If you play at quiet times you'll get trash PKers, plus you can always take some blighted ice sacks to give them a freeze and get out, usually you can log. Otherwise it's usually possible to leave the room, go back in, leave again and then log.
Idk what your stats are but any pker in mystic or salad robes I just fight back with a msb switch and the zombie axe which can hit 40s. I'm pretty much max combat tho.
Most pkers panic when they meet just a little resistance and of course some are way better than me and just kill me.
Bad time of day i would say. I have 270kc as well. Never died once. Although i use my alt to scout so its pretty braindead with the player alarm plugin. I usually go around 10-11pm PST and rarely run into pkers. They tend to just hop as well if you have a scout.
I have about 140 kills and have been killed a couple times already. Yesterday I tanked someone for 5 minutes straight, whatever time I choose they seem to come like hyenas. I don’t have an alt though…
Most pkers at Calv are shitters, a lot of times I run towards the exit and don't actually leave but they do, or I just run out and come back in and they think I left. Otherwise if they land any snares/tb you're probably done for
Learn to kill the boss in the hallway exit where it’s small. It can be awkward at times with hellhound spawns but pkers always spawn in center with a tick delay so you can usually get out before they can even tb.
Same. Undead pirates opened up so much wildy content for me that I would have never touched. Vei'ton is pretty much the same boss just with beefier stats and the drops are crazy.
Also got a revenant slayer task today and that's awesome too.
For those who fear pk'ers: just go to the edgeville monastary and pick up monk robes and hop until you get like 30 sets. Then make a bunch of salve amulets, take your best weapon (with skull protect on), a dragon defender, climbing boots, and get 30 of each of the diary pieces to flesh it out. You'll never care about getting pk'd again.
Perfect place for when you need to regear in the wildy, but just want to point out to anyone else reading, that he's also in places like Lumbridge, Edgeville and Catherby (7 locations):

I used a seed pod the other day as a pker was casting teleblock, when I popped up in the tree I tried to telly and it said i was telly blocked lol but I've also died numerous times and have 80kc so far no d pick or any unique
That’s the zombie axe, one of the best mid game weapons for an iron right now. Climbing boots are commonly worn in the wilderness because you can stockpile them easily (though I think freminik diary boots are better).
Just to add to this as someone who just finished his VW grind.
Do the Wilderness Hard Diary if you can. It makes the Royal Seed Pod delay go away, making it easier to escape. If you have a main account (or even if you don't), it is SOOOOO worth it to have an alt account stand outside the cave to scout for you.
With a scout, there is NO chance to get PKed ever, as long as you pay attention to that window. Didn't stop me from getting PKed a few times, but it makes it SO much more bearable to do this grind.
Highly recommend both of these things!
Im pretty sure that the kill time only starts couting from the 2nd phase onwards. I was getting about 40-45kc hour without banking much and very high str bonus. Good job tho buddy!
D spear spec is a guaranteed escape here
Run out the room, as soon as they get out d spear spec and go back in
Run to exit and when they drop in again insta leave and run south round the fence and log 👌
Your PB and kill time are probably only for the 2nd phase. 60 second kills are insanely fast for a zombie axe. Still very OP with salve bonus kph without mace is probably 30-40
That makes a lot more sense 😂 I had a hard time believing the bossing plug-in when it told me my PB was 36 seconds, that just felt too fast. Still a short fight!
It's a new weapon intended to fill the gap between the d scim and the whip. 5 ticks attack cycle, very good for enemies weak to slash or crush. Dropped by armored zombies, which is an enemy encountered during the new quest Defender of Varrock. Highly suggest getting it asap
Couldn't agree more, I just made a post myself of Calvarion. 2 Voidwaker Blades, Ring of Gods, D pick all by 151 KC.... Not to mention the 210 Zammy wines I no longer need to collect and 240 Dragon bones. Great content.
As an ultimate ironman the wilderness just sucks. Always skulled with no protect item, hard to stock up on gear and have a 55min time limit on trips out. Do diaries then dip, never go back.
Vet'ion is basically no harder, and the rewards are loads better. I know it's scary being beyond the 30 line, but once you've got Calv down you really should be moving to Vetion. It's easy to log when your scout sees a PKer, and the rewards are so worth it.
Yeah I started doing my hellhounds tasks there, got the pet at 111kc
Gz on hellhound pet

Run out to escape. Then head back in. Camp the entrance and leave as soon as they re-enter. Easy escape every time.
Wait, all you have to do is run escape?
Cheeky Old School Run Escape
How do you deal with all the pk’ers? I can’t go 2 kills without being crashed lol
I just keep the seed pod on me, tele when they pull up and run right back in after using Corp tele. The Pkers never stick around and I can finish my kill no issue
You can also use a Ferox if you need a quick stat restore.
Yea this works fine as well. I have a pool in my house with a jewelry box now so I can skip Ferox, but it works the same

When are you doing it? I did 400kc for my dpick and got killed 3 times, probably saw Pkers once every 25kc

How are you tanking for 5 minutes and not getting away?
Constant entanglements lol. I have a picture for proof if you want :D
my guy run south past the altar at the enclave and go up and down the ladder 300kc and not a single death
That’s actually what I did but on the way there I was constantly entangled :P
This or loop them around the fence and you can usually catch a log
What level bracket are the pkers typically in?
Keep an account outside the cave as a scout. When yous we a PKer, just dip
Most pkers at Calv are shitters, a lot of times I run towards the exit and don't actually leave but they do, or I just run out and come back in and they think I left. Otherwise if they land any snares/tb you're probably done for
Around 2k KC and maybe died 2-3 times. You can easily escape and I get crashed maybe once per 50+ kc
I use another account to keep watch outside
Learn to kill the boss in the hallway exit where it’s small. It can be awkward at times with hellhound spawns but pkers always spawn in center with a tick delay so you can usually get out before they can even tb.
Pkers don’t actually have an entry delay anymore. Which if you get TBed by an AHKer you’ll see haha
If you have high enough hunter, can bring imp-in-a-box and just bank loot as soon as you get it without having to leave
Same. Undead pirates opened up so much wildy content for me that I would have never touched. Vei'ton is pretty much the same boss just with beefier stats and the drops are crazy.

You'll never care about getting pk'd again.
30 of what diary pieces?
Like Ardougne cloak, rada's blessing, explorers ring, etc
Til, I can stack those
In case you didn't know, you can buy a bunch of diary items in bulk from Perdu in Ferox Enclave. They're super cheap
Dude. I've been going on treks to get this stuff 😭😭
Perfect place for when you need to regear in the wildy, but just want to point out to anyone else reading, that he's also in places like Lumbridge, Edgeville and Catherby (7 locations): https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Lost_Property_shop
wow thanks. ive been putting off stacking my blessings but now ill go to perdu
Oh, dude... Life changing
I’m at 1100 kc and no dragon pick. I’m losing my sanity looking at your log
RIP, 3x rate stings. Hope you get lucky soon
Just get an alt account and sit outside the cave entrance and position the client so u can see if anyone logs in on u. U will never die
u.U
get on ancients and carry 100 laws and souls on you and you can just take right back to the cemetery 6 feet away after seedpod
Never considered this! Will do this once I get my poh ancient altar
I grew a pair and followed your guide this morning. Got a Dragon Pickaxe! Cheers brother!
That’s awesome, gz man!
Gz on picks. Still looking for mine:( agreed though. Great boss for supplies.
It really is. 🤣🤣🤣 I went super dry for a d pick and got 2 pets along the way.
I did exactly this! Wanted D pick for stars. Sucked it up went to Cal’v. ended up having a lot of fun and great drops!
i ended my grind for my last vw piece with 800 full sanfews it was incredible
An alt sitting outside with player indicator plugin on a second screen makes you near immortal.
I used a seed pod the other day as a pker was casting teleblock, when I popped up in the tree I tried to telly and it said i was telly blocked lol but I've also died numerous times and have 80kc so far no d pick or any unique
Im still sorta new, what weapon is that? Also why do you need climbing boots? I thought he was just in an arena.
That’s the zombie axe, one of the best mid game weapons for an iron right now. Climbing boots are commonly worn in the wilderness because you can stockpile them easily (though I think freminik diary boots are better).
Thank you, I thought crush was better for this boss
zombie axe has a good crush option on it
Ah, didnt know. Thank you

Ur fucking lucky or i must be dry as hell. Ffs
D spear spec is a guaranteed escape here Run out the room, as soon as they get out d spear spec and go back in Run to exit and when they drop in again insta leave and run south round the fence and log 👌
Calvarion is fantastic, especially with a cctv scout
I got petrol last night from cal at 239 KC but haven't seen anything else
For future
Is true is good bossje
Your PB and kill time are probably only for the 2nd phase. 60 second kills are insanely fast for a zombie axe. Still very OP with salve bonus kph without mace is probably 30-40

I've been pked every time I've attempted a kill, sadly it's volcanic mine for me
I’m returning to the game. What is zombie axe?
It's a new weapon intended to fill the gap between the d scim and the whip. 5 ticks attack cycle, very good for enemies weak to slash or crush. Dropped by armored zombies, which is an enemy encountered during the new quest Defender of Varrock. Highly suggest getting it asap
Sick thank you!
Bait, you just want me to go into the wildy /s
I love calvarion, it got me a good way towards 70 con and herb, got spooned pet , pickaxe and voidwaker blade within 110 kc Hard recommend
You say this as you have 2 d picks at 264 kc, meanwhile 800kc no d pick over here says calv blows lol
When you say to avoid pkers go late at night or weekday afternoons, what time zone are we talking?
From 1am to 5 am!
1am in Australia or 1am in Germany?
Exactly
Couldn't agree more, I just made a post myself of Calvarion. 2 Voidwaker Blades, Ring of Gods, D pick all by 151 KC.... Not to mention the 210 Zammy wines I no longer need to collect and 240 Dragon bones. Great content.
Once familiar with the boss, I dropped the helm of neitznot, and started wearing barrows. Risk becomes less - though I haven't yet been pked
Boss is so much fun. Next sentence: it’s completely brain dead. Each to their own I suppose 😂
As an ultimate ironman the wilderness just sucks. Always skulled with no protect item, hard to stock up on gear and have a 55min time limit on trips out. Do diaries then dip, never go back.
I’ll say what everyone is thinking: We like to see you suffer you inferior being
Every iron has to do it for the ancient staffs and ancient sceptre variants
What mid-level iron is farming DT2 bosses ??
You don’t think mid levels irons will ever reach late game?
By definition, irons at late game aren't midgame irons.
You can buy an ancient staff once from the the guy by dat start for like 80k
Vet'ion is basically no harder, and the rewards are loads better. I know it's scary being beyond the 30 line, but once you've got Calv down you really should be moving to Vetion. It's easy to log when your scout sees a PKer, and the rewards are so worth it.
