Even after getting a completionist cape, there’s still a lot to do to accomplish. Sure, they’re fairly player-driven and not something the game encourages, but digging deeper shows even more content to do.
Me? I’m going for Final Boss.
For the people that don’t know what Final Boss is, it’s a title that’s awarded by killing all 100 bosses in the game (normal and Hard modes are added up in a total). Currently out of that list, all I have left to do is 54 Barrows runs and 69 Fight Kiln.
In terms of estimated time? Well, each Barrows run takes 3 minutes and Kiln 25 minutes (AFKing it at least, concentrating takes 20 minutes). With 54 * 3 minutes + 69 * 25 minutes, that’s 1887 minutes, or roughly 31 hours.
Regardless, I hope to get it by the end of the month.

A super antifire that protects against skeletal wyverns’s ice breath as well. I personally say “meh”, but if you kill lots of skeletal wyverns, it may be helpful. Even then, however, if you use Magic and stand far away enough, they won’t use their ice breath, so even with that perk, it’s limited. Avoid this potion.

Before I go on, however, I will introduce the aura that should be obtained first before any other, no matter who you are: Jack of Trades (JoT). This aura is basically a Distraction and Diversion (D&D), where once you turn it on, you have 3 hours to gain XP in a certain number of skills, depending on its level. Once you’ve done that, you earn an XP book from Xuan in Varrock Square/Burthorpe or Dilwyn in Prfiddinas. The XP varies depending on the level of your JoT, and at the best JoT aura at the level 80+, you can easily earn around 18k XP for relatively no effort. It may not seem much, but for only a few minutes worth of time, it adds up every day, and that 99 in that skill you hate would be more and more within reach.
There are many great auras for combat, but as a general starting rule, your first picks should be Penance and Vampyrism. Penance restores Prayer for 5% of damage you take. For example, if you get hit by a 1000, 50 Prayer points would be restored. It’s a very potent aura in itself and it can save you multiple doses of Prayer restores. Vampyrism, on the other hand, heals you for 5% of damage you do, up to a cap of 50 LP healed. True, it’s not that great, but combined with Soul Split and other forms of heal-on-hit, it all adds up, and it leads to more health restored over a long period of time. Between those two, Vampyrism should be obtained first because it can help you survive against bosses you normally could not, but Penance is also amazing if you can still manage to evade death at bosses anyway.
Sharpshooter and Runic Accuracy (my personal favorite auras in the game!) are both accuracy-boosting auras for Ranged and Magic respectively. Naturally, if you don’t need extra healing or Prayer from Vampyrism or Penance, these are very good choices to use – unless you have 100% accuracy, of course. They come in four levels, each subsequent level needing more and more Loyalty Points – their boosts are, from worst to best: 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10%. These are best used on bosses where you don’t have much accuracy and use only Ranged or Magic like Vorago, Rise of the Six, and Araxxor. If you’re not an avid bosser that regularly hunts those bosses, you can completely skip out on these auras and not worry at all. Otherwise, these auras will help your combat performance so much more than most other auras.
Invigorate is also another amazing tool for bossing, but for different reasons. After using an Ultimate ability, you save some adrenaline from using it, again varying from what level your Invigorate aura is (ranges from 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% adrenaline saved). This also stacks with the ring of vigour, so you can potentially save 20% adrenaline from using an Ultimate ability. Naturally, there are a lot of possibilities to utilize this extra adrenaline. For Slayer and bossing, you can do a ring of vigour switch to Berserk/Death’s Swiftness/Metamorphosis/Sunshine to instantly get 20% adrenaline, so you can reach your Threshold abilities quicker to unleash more hurt on your opponent. As a side note, Pulverize is a Strength ability that normally reduces damage the opponent does by 25% for 30 seconds. However, if you KO something with it, you are instantly refunded 50% adrenaline. With both a ring of vigour and Invigorate, you can instantly get back up to 70% adrenaline KOing something, meaning it’s an extremely powerful ability for only 30% adrenaline. Use this for Slayer with the above Pulverize suggestion and every boss where you utilize damage-boosting Ultimates, which includes all bosses above God Wars Dungeon in difficulty.
Reverence slows down Prayer drain and increases the amount of Prayer restored from Prayer restores (Prayer potions and super restores, among more) by 3%, 5%, 7%, or 10%, again depending on the level it’s at. It’s not a bad aura, but it’s just outclassed by Penance. I recommend holding off on buying this until you’ve got everything else you want, as Penance just does a better job at Prayer management. It’s not a bad option when Penance is not available, however.
Now this is where it gets tricky. All of these auras available basically come down to asking you: what skill do you enjoy the most? The list of skills these skilling auras cover is Fishing (Call of the Sea), Hunter (Tracker), Woodcutting (Lumberjack), Mining (Quarrymaster, the one pictured to the left), Farming (Greenfingers), Thieving (Five-finger discount), and Divination (Enrichment). Unlike Sharpshooter and Runic Accuracy and the like which came in four levels, these skilling auras come in five levels, with boosts of 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, or 15%.
Personally, if I had to get skilling auras, I would get Greenfingers and upgrade to the highest level. Greenfingers are extremely helpful for herb runs, and allows me to make even more cash from just simple Farming per hour or day. Every little boost helps, especially if its for free. Other skilling auras I would think is good is Call of the Sea for easier rocktail catching for easy money and Five-finger discount for easier Thieving at Prifddinas elves and dwarf traders, again for easy money.
What if you don’t care for those auras, though? Turn no further to Jack of Trades and Wisdom. I already mentioned Jack of Trades as an aura everyone should have, but Wisdom is also a pretty nice aura. It gives 2.5% more XP in all XP-giving activities for 30 minutes. It’s great for squeezing out as much XP as you can, so don’t miss out if you want all the XP you can get.
