There has to be some tips to get the T70 outfit pieces - the boss was a breeze in the quest but doesn't drop what I need for the equipment when I manage to kill this boss now - any tips how to get the equipment drops - an easier way to kill the new boss or something else to kill to finish the outfit... any help would be appreciated


You only level 74 so are you using level 70 tank or just planning to use level 60 for boss then upgrade that set to level 70 power? If you are finding it hard you may want to skip for now and just use tank armour. If you don't have the zammy parts for both sets you may be better waiting till at least 90 or 99 cape to use multiply before you make level 80+.

1 account I upgraded to level 80 tank and another account I kept level 70 tank (both augmented) and there was not much difference to notice. My advice stop, and just do rituals till 90 or 99 and the higher levels means you will do more damage anyway.

Unless you good with pvm the power tasks get very hard, tank tasks slightly better.

Hermond is just a GWD1 difficulty boss. GWD1 level bosses don't really have many hard mechanics and don't need many special guides. I actually think Hermond is simpler and easier than GWD1 bosses because at least Kree'ara can't be attacked with melee while it is a pain in the neck to range some others. Hermond has no requirements, limitations and strength/weakness against the only style of combat he can be damaged - Necromancy. So he is actually the easiest to learn mid level boss now.

For those still have problems with Hermond, I will suggest just spawn minions and don't forget you have your own familiar on top too. Just sit back, get a cup of tea, relax and enjoy your minions killing Hermond. :)

I'm killing him in normal mode now ..definitely harder. I'm only surviving because of sharks. 2K health lost every time he smashes his sword on the floor. Tried an oldak coil at Hermod,doesn't work = (. I died..I was returned to life thanks to my defence skillcape perk. Wow Hermod isn't so nice now!

Hermod is kinda nice now cuz I got the drumsticks . Now that I experienced the actual difficulty of this boss, compared to GWD1..I'd say it is harder for me atleast.

Anything other than Necromancy shouldn't work on Necromancy bosses, right?

Hermod is a nice practice for the shift of paradigm to me. I am having fun with Necromancy as a Necromancer/Summoner "class" in other games instead of a combat style/skill in RS3, so I am having a blast and find it actually quite easy. Literally, I don't need much food as my summons tank for me.

I hope we get more uses for hermod plates.


Just wait a little until we get new Gemstone and Necromancy perks.

Necromancy accessories shouldn't be made with ordinary gold or silver bars, right? And Necromancers are going to have new perks and made with new Necrotic components the most logicial way... Rituals... ;)
