Introduction

The Tier 90 weapons Tidal Edge,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shockwave

& Ocean Song are Best-in-Slot for most situations. But to obtain these items, you'll have to kill some of the strongest monsters in the game, and a lot of them too.


For the Tidal Edge, you'll need to kill (with Magic) Umbora for 100 Tidal Edge Fragments.

For the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shockwave

, you'll need to kill (with Melee) Rokken for 100 Shockwave Fragments.

For the Ocean Song, you'll need to kill (with Ranged) Ku-tul for 100 Ocean Song Fragments.


Because you will end up killing on average 5000 of each, taking items with double droprate should be a priority if possible.


There are a couple of different orders in which these weapons are normally obtained.

Basically, a Tidal Edge is heavily suggested for Rokken.

The most standard orders are:

- Tidal Edge =>

=> Ocean Song - Ocean Song => Tidal Edge =>

Below are some gear suggestions. Of course, depending on other factors (such as

Prayer

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Potions

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Agility

buffs) your optimal gear can change.

This whole guide assumes you either use Semi to pick up items, or are active enough to pick up all pieces.

A lot of people also combine the grinding of these weapons with the grind for master slayer gear unlocks. An added benefit is the increased damage given by the slayer cape on task.

Tidal Edge

To be able to idle Umbora with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

, you'll need 46 DR assuming you have 1000 HP.

Umbora can be killed either with Ancient Magicks or with Normal Magic if you have an Ocean Song.

With Ocean Song, use Fire Surge (reference), Water Surge (+2% kill time) or Water Blast (+9% kill time, strongly reduced rune cost).

With an Imbued Wand, use Gust (+40% kill time) or Incinerate (+45% kill time).

Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs Neck 2%

Total 54%

Use the appropriate Elemental Imbued Wand for Ancients, and the Ocean Song for Normal magic. The Slayer Skillcape can be replaced with a Max Skillcape or Skull Cape. The Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs can be replaced with a Warlock Amulet. If you hit the DR goal, you can opt for a Elder Crown, Slayer Wizard Hat (Master), Slayer Wizard Robes (Master)...

Shockwave

Whilst the other two weapons are pretty straight-forward in terms of gear, the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shockwave

is not.

You need to use Melee for this grind, and as said before, it is highly suggested that you have a Tidal Edge before you start the Rokken hunt.

Standard method

This method will require the highest DR, as you need to be able to tank the special hit of Rokken. At 1000 hp, this will require 55 DR.

Item Slot DR%
Tidal Edge Weapon 0%
Terran God Helmet Head 8%
Terran God Platebody Body 8%
Terran God Platelegs Leggings 8%
Terran God Boots Boots 8%
Terran God Gloves Hands 8%
Subtotal 40%
Slayer Skillcape Cape 0%
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs Neck 2%
Aorpheat's Signet Ring Ring 0%
Dragonfire Shield Off-hand 8%
Chapeau Noir Passive 0%
Total 50%

Besides this tank gear set-up, you will need extra DR. This can be achieved by using a Fire Cape, Infernal Cape, DR potions/prayers... The use of DR potions should be avoided if possible, so that DL potions can be used.

Stun method

This method will use the stun feature of the Fighter Amulet to negate the effect of the Rokken special attack, effectively reducing the Max Hit (and thus the DR requirement). At 1000 hp, this method requires 47 DR, but with extra gear requirements relating to Attack Speed (required < 2.24).

Ocean Song

To be able to idle Ku-tul with

Ranged

, you'll need 48 DR assuming you have 1000 HP. Depending on your chosen route, you'll be killing Ku-tul with either a

Ancient Crossbow

/ Slayer's Crossbow or Stormsnap. Use Jadestone Bolts, Emerald Bolts or Ancient Arrows respectively. As you can't use a shield whilst using a Stormsnap, the DR has to be compensated with

buffs, DR potions or

The Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs can be replaced with a Deadeye Amulet, the Slayer Skillcape with a Max Skillcape, Cape of Ranged Preservation or Fire Cape/ Infernal Cape for the extra DR. If you hit the DR goal, you can opt for a Elder Crown, Slayer Cowl (Master), Slayer Leather Body (Master)...
