New OSRS Items Guide
Oct-26-2024 PSTThe ever-evolving world of Old School RuneScape (OSRS) continues to excite players with its addition of new regions, quests, and of course, items. While the allure of quests and areas might draw some adventurers in, it’s the new items that hold the community’s attention. This guide will walk you through some of the best new OSRS items introduced into the game recently, such as the Moon Sets and Sunfire Fanatic Set. We’ll also dive into how you can obtain these coveted pieces of equipment.
Moon Sets
The Moon Sets are a series of gear sets obtainable from the “Moons of Peril” encounters. Each set corresponds to a specific boss within the Moons of Peril, making them both challenging and rewarding to collect. However, farming for these sets requires time, as they are rare drops, making persistence key. Here’s an overview of the different Moon Sets and how they fare in the game.
Blood Moon Set
The Blood Moon Set is designed for melee-focused players and introduces unique combat mechanics. Its weapon allows you to strike twice in one attack, with the second hit having lower accuracy. While the max hit for this weapon is halved, it can still be useful, especially in Player vs. Environment (PvE) situations. The set might not be the strongest, but it’s still worth collecting for its novelty and utility in specific scenarios.
Blue Moon Set
A hybrid between melee and magic, the Blue Moon Set is best suited for freezing enemies in place, making it a strong choice for Player vs. Player (PvP) combat. Its ability to incapacitate enemies with crowd control effects makes it an appealing option for anyone looking to excel in PvP encounters.
Eclipse Moon Set
A versatile set combining melee and ranged combat, the Eclipse Moon Set is highly effective in PvP due to its significant damage output. However, it does have a limitation: its weapon only uses Atlatl Darts as ammo, which can be restrictive in some cases. Despite this drawback, the set is still highly regarded for its overall effectiveness in both damage and versatility.
How to Get the Moon Sets
To obtain any of the Moon Sets, players need to defeat the corresponding bosses in the Moons of Peril. The entrance to these bosses is located in the Kingdom of Varlamore, specifically underneath Ralo's Rise in the Dwarven city of Cam Torum.
Reaching the Moons of Peril
There are several ways to reach Cam Torum, but the fastest method involves using calcified moths, which can be mined within the city itself. Once you use the calcified moths, you’ll be teleported directly to Cam Torum. From there, it’s a short run north to the entrance of the Moons of Peril.
Once inside, players need to follow a series of paths through the Napotzli Dungeon, avoiding enemies and setting up camps when necessary. At key points, players can recover run energy by making tea or setting up a campfire to rest. Upon reaching the bosses, ensure that you’re properly geared for each specific encounter, as each Moon boss has its own weaknesses.
Sunfire Fanatic Set
Another exciting addition is the Sunfire Fanatic Set, an armor set obtainable from the Fortis Colosseum. While not as powerful as the Moon Sets in terms of raw combat, it excels in providing Prayer bonuses. In fact, if you collect all the pieces of the Sunfire Fanatic set, you’ll boast the highest Prayer bonus in the game, with a total of 73.
How to Get the Sunfire Fanatic Set
To acquire the Sunfire Fanatic set, players must repeatedly beat the Fortis Colosseum. The challenge involves a gauntlet of Fremmies with different combat styles, requiring strategic thinking and precise execution to deal maximum damage. You’ll need to master various combat techniques to finish waves and defeat enemies like Manticores and Javelin Colossuses, which present unique threats based on their attack patterns.
Conclusion
The new items in OSRS provide players with exciting opportunities to experiment with hybrid builds, dominate in PvP, or enhance their PvE capabilities. The Moon Sets—whether it’s the melee-focused Blood Moon, the hybrid Blue Moon, or the range/melee Eclipse Moon—add dynamic elements to combat. Meanwhile, the Sunfire Fanatic Set offers unparalleled Prayer bonuses for those who want to maximize their Prayer potential.
With these new items, players have plenty to look forward to, but obtaining them will require time, patience, and strategy. Happy hunting, adventurers!
