Tagging & Poison Bomb Guide

Tagging Mechanics

To tag something means to hit a 0 (displayed in-game as a shield), allowing the enemy to retaliate. Wearing a Ring of Recoil will slowly kill the opponent. Hitting a 0 awards no combat XP.

Requirements for Bombs

Poison Bomb Mechanics

Damage from Poison Bombs is based on the accuracy of your equipped weapon. Equip your best damaging weapon for maximum effectiveness.

Note: Ensure you do not retaliate and hit the mob, as this may result in experience gain.

Poison Bomb Tagging

Two Throwing Methods

• Throw Under: Stops you from attacking the monster after throwing the bomb. (Safest method)
• Throw Onto: May cause you to attack the monster. Click the ground again to stop attacking.

If using a bow (without arrows) or a staff (without runes), you will NOT attack after throwing the bomb.

Maximising Poison Damage

The poison damage scales with your weapon's damage. Equip the best weapon possible for maximum poison effectiveness.

Confuse Spell for Safe Looting

Requirements

• Block Magic XP at Nastroth.
• 1 Mind Rune and a main account.
• Wand/Staff — not one that enables Air spells.

Whether the spell hits or splashes, you will not gain combat experience but will receive loot.

Note: Ensure you have no Air Runes in your inventory to avoid auto-casting spells.
