Chambers of Xeric — learner guide

Chambers of Xeric (CoX) is a team raid under Mount Quidamortem. Rooms are random each raid, ending with the Great Olm. Most supplies are made inside the raid, so bring less than you think.

How a raid runs

1. Start: the leader makes a party at the entrance board; everyone joins before entering
2. Rooms: each floor has combat rooms, puzzle rooms and a resource room
3. Olm: three phases — head, hands and the final head phase
4. Loot: everyone's points go into the drop roll; a purple light is a unique

Combat rooms, the short version

• Tekton: heavy melee — step away while it is at its anvil
• Vasa Nistirio: it heals from the glowing crystal — break the crystal, then hit Vasa
• Vanguards: damage all three evenly or they reset
• Muttadiles: the small one heals at the meat tree — keep it busy
• Shamans: move off the purple spit and away from their jumps
• Mystics: Protect from Magic, kill them with melee or ranged

Your first raids

Base 75+ combat, 70+ Prayer. Say "learner" when you join.

• Join learner or mass raids — people expect questions there
• Bring your best melee, ranged and magic switches, an axe and a pickaxe
• Don't take all the potions from the herb room; overloads and brews are shared
• At Olm: ask your team which hand you are on, and move off marked tiles

Small teams

Base 85+, Piety/Rigour/Augury unlocked.

• Three- to five-player teams: you'll handle rooms on your own, so learn each one's safe tiles
• Scout for a good layout before you start if your team prefers it
• Learn Olm's crystal bombs and acid trail: most wipes happen there
• Take the resource room seriously — enough overloads decides how Olm goes

Speed and challenge mode

99s, best-in-slot switches, a practised team.

• Challenge mode (CM) has a timer and better loot odds — it expects every room to be clean
• Solo raids are possible with the right gear; learn the prep routes before trying
• Roles matter: agree who handles which Olm hand and who preps the potions

Etiquette

• Stay until the end; leaving mid-raid hurts your team's points
• Ask before splitting from the group
