Hey!
Hope this is the correct place to ask this question. 
I'm a relatively new alora player, you may however have seen me in game if you've been active during the past few days.

Now I feel pretty comfortable running ToB in 4 man or more parties, I was learning to solo Chambers.
I can get through the raid with relative ease, however once I get to olm i usualy end up dying once i run out of supplies.. which is generaly around the end of the second phase or the beginning of the  final phase.

I'm using the following guide as a reference:
https://www.alora.io...ning-olms-head/

Now obviously I do not yet have a twisted bow, lance or warhammer so it's mainly the melee hand that's taking forever to kill hence why I lose so much hp overtime.

Also heard about a recent update making cox a bit more challenging, now is it still possible to solo with a "budget" setup without the aforementioned items?

If you have any feedback or could record / screenshare an olm fight with similar gear to show what I should do differenly that'd be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
ghost2hunt

Well your gear setup is much better than mine, so it shouldn't be too hard. It's mainly learning how to run head and not get hit by red portals. I recorded myself doing a welfare olm for you, the guide was going great until near the end haha but still managed to do it, and even snag a purple.

 

Also now you dont have to rely on drops for supplies, make your brews/restores before you head into olm. My inventory wasn't a good representation of you want for olm. Honestly you'd be good with 2-3 restores and rest brews.

Going to be watching it right now, cheers! For me the sang staff really is helping as i only did one run with it, but I can definitely notice the difference, I assume a lot of it is indeed still getting used to "properly" running the head, while I do feel like I am able to do it decently well, the red crystals tend to mess me up on the last phase as when i then try and run it off in a square, the boulders hit pretty hard and panic.
Regardless though, apprecaite it A LOT! Congrats on the purple and thanks once again!

On the last phase of Olm, always pray melee and keep running the head.

This is good advice only when you've confidently learnt how to run it :)

Also when you’re at the end phase a dhcb is more effective than a bp, of course tbow best but talking budget dhcb, maybe even rcb/acb with ruby (e) bolts?

I know we chatted on discord a bit and you have improved a ton GL with your goals

This is a great video to learn to solo without taking much damage

Yes, was not doing this till I further looked at the videos. It definitely helps with reducing the damage.

Can not afford a dhcb atm unless I were to sell of the sang for a dwar + dhcb, not sure how worth that'd be though?
Will test with a rcb + ruby bolts (e) though. Cheers

Personally I’d do trident, dhcb and dwh and sell sang, usually you’re out of supplies when you don’t need mage and after some experience you don’t take any dmg at the mage claws, gl with rcb tho.
