ok im ready to start my early ironman mage jad attempts today. This is the loadout and stats i will be bringing. Note i only have 48 prayer as i boosted with ancestral mace.
The only stats which i think you must have are maybe 68 magic and 45 prayer, for earth wave and mystic might. I'm bringing a couple magic essence pots as with 72 magic i can boost to 75 magic when i want a bit more extra damage as 75 is a dps increase threshold to water wave as it unlocks firewave.
Probably the biggest upgrade an early iron could get for the build is a water tome. It adds an incredible almost 33% increase in dps in fight caves, I think it way out dps's the usual runecbow build most people use. But that could be a lot of grinding at tempoross and i want to proof of concept without it. Could also put rada's blessing 2 in ammo slot but its only 1 prayer and i haven't done the quests yet for the diary. Other than that infinity robes from MTA or ahrims from barrows would be good upgrades that are easily attainable with some grinding.
This will be the first time i try fight caves ever so i hope i get it as blood runes are very expensive.
