As AFK as it gets: NMZ Ranged Training Guide (only interact every ~15 minutes)

 Fully afk ranging guide from nmz

Ok, I know I didn’t update the shrine on Tuesday and I’m sorry. (Trust me it isn’t worth it this week anyways haha) but if you’re here for osrs, then you probably don’t care anyways. I will have it next week anyways, don’t worry.

Anyways, over the past few days, I’ve gotten to 91 ranged and 90 hitpoints all in the nmz…and while I have been training I have been able to make lunch, take a shower, watch tv, and play completely different games while only interacting with my game every 15-20 minutes. Jagex might think I’m botting tbh. 

Here is my gear:

(Sara d’hide coif)

(Ava’s Device) (Amulet of fury) (Rune arrows)

(Magis shortbow imbued) (Ancient d’hide top)

(Bandos d’hide chaps)

(Barrows gloves) (Ancient d’hide boots) (archer’s ring imbued)

This is a relatively cheap setup, save for the archer’s ring which is a bit over 4 mil right now, plus 650,000 nightmare points/260 soul wars tokens. Mind you, any blessed d’hide works and black d’hide works just fine. I choose to use blessed d’hide for that extra prayer bonus so that the “preserve” prayer lasts a bit longer. 

You can easily replace the blessed d’hide with black d’hide, the fury with a glory, barrows gloves with whichever RFD gloves you have (or a combat bracelet if you have none). I highly recommend the archer’s ring (i) for a dps boost, because this method doesn’t give a ton of exp, but it is very afk. 

With my gear and level (91 ranged atm), I get around 60k ranged per hour and 20k HP. But I also only interact with the game every 15 or so minutes. 

Steps:

Go to nmz via minigame tp or some other way

Start a custom “normal” rumble (costs 22k). Normal mode bosses don’t hit very hard which means less need for absorption pots

Choose bosses with low defense and low max hits. I like to use Count Draynor (Vampyre Slayer), Sand Snake (Depths of Despair), Trapped Soul (Ascent of Arceuus), King Roald (What Lies Below), and The Kendal (Mountain Daughter).

If you have one, use a locator orb or dwarven rock cake (from dragon slayer 2 and RFD dwarf subsection respectively) to lower your health to 1. A boss can only damage you for as many hitpoints as you have remaining, so despite Count Draynor having a max hit of 3, he can only hit a 1 if I have only 1 hitpoint remaining. This is why we lower our hp, but choosing low-hitting bosses means you don’t really need to. 

If you don’t have any method to drop your hp, I recommend not using The Kendal since he has a max hit of 9, even on normal rumbles.

Chug absorption pots, sip a super ranging pot, tab out. Check on your character every 15 or so minutes to re-pot and drop your health back to 1. 

← my inventory when I go. The empty slots were absorption potions, but I drank them :). If you are using Runelite, ensure you have the idle notifier on, so you will be notified if you’re about to log out from being idle. This will happen every 20 minutes.

Make sure you are standing in the middle of the room and that auto-retaliate is on! Keep your bow on “rapid”.
