OSRS Easy Perilous Moon Zerker/Med Level Guide

The Moons of Peril are fearsome new foes to face in OSRS. To fight them, you'll need to do the Perilous Moons quest which also introduces the region of Cam Torum. As expected, the Moons of Peril can offer excellent rewards for those brave enough to fight and defeat them. However, there are a few items that you should really grind for.

The rewards of the Moons of Peril are pretty similar to the Barrows in which you're only getting rewards based on the boss you killed. Defeating all moon bosses will grant you a Lunar Chest. There are common rewards between the three bosses, but there are boss exclusive rewards as well. Namely:

• Blood moon armor - melee equipment that activates the Bloodrager set effect.
• Blue moon armor - magic equipment that activates the Frostweaver set effect.
• Eclipse moon armor - ranged equipment that activates the Searing Blows set effect.

OSRS Moon Equipment

Moon equipment is a set of gear that you can get through Lunar Chests. Each of the sets contains a weapon, a helmet, a torso piece, and leg equipment. Unlike the Barrows gear where each set benefits a specific combat style, the Moon equipment is hybrid and can be used for more combat options.

Many players in the community have discovered that the gear is actually excellent when used in PvP such as in the Wilderness or even in Bounty Hunter. What's great is that all equipment requires 50 Defense making them mid-level. In Bounty Hunter, you can effectively use this gear to stay within the mid-combat level while having serious damage.

Blood Equipment

Requirements

• 50 Defense, 75 Strength for armor pieces
• 70 Attack and 75 Strength for weapon

The blood moon equipment is unique from the other two because it's not a hybrid gear. It's purely melee whereas the other two are melee/magic and melee/ranged hybrids.

The weapon in the set has a unique mechanic wherein it does two hits per attack, which means you'll see two hit splats per instance of your attack. The hits are spaced 1 game tick apart. To balance it out, the second hit has a lower accuracy than the first one. The two attacks have a halved accuracy automatically but you can make up for this with other equipment.

Whenever you attack an enemy, the game will first roll for damage on your first hit before doing it for the second hit. This mechanic basically forces your first attack to be normal while the second attack is less effective seeing that it has two accuracy checks to pass.

With this mechanic, the weapon is designed to be used against enemies with lower Defense levels. This is a good thing because the majority of the builds in PvP or in Bounty Hunter are high-attack, low-defense to keep the combat level to a minimum.

Wearing the full set activates Bloodrager. This effect gives the dual macuahuitl a 33% chance to strike at least one tick earlier after a successful hit. This essentially lets you strike again after 3 in-game ticks. What's great is that both hits are counted independently meaning that you have a 55% chance to trigger Bloodrager.

Blue Equipment

Requirements

• 50 Defense and 75 Magic for the armor
• 70 Attack and 75 Magic for the weapon

The blue moon equipment is a hybrid of melee and magic. It's one of the favorites in the game as it allows you to stay safe while dealing against enemies up close due to the melee bonuses. At the same time, you can start dealing damage from afar using magic as well. Its versatility makes it a very good choice in many scenarios.

The special effect of this set is called Frostweaver. Whenever you cast a bind spell, the blue moon spear will have a 20% chance to make its next attack become immune to action delays. The effect might seem useless at first but if you know what you are doing, you can pull off some deadly combos.

Eclipse Equipment

Requirements

• 50 Defense and 75 Ranged for the armor
• 75 Ranged, 50 Attack, and 50 Strength for the weapon

Of the three-moon equipment, this one offers the melee/ranged setup. The weapon in this set has a unique mechanic in which it can only fire atlatl darts. The trade-off is good however as the damage modifiers for the weapon are the Strength and Melee stat. This means you can build the set for using melee weapons and you can still do decent damage with Range using the eclipse atlatl.

The damage of the weapon is based on the player's melee levels, including boosts. Despite this, players are using ranged-boosting prayers to power up the build even more. Those prayers include Eagle Eye and Rigour. They've found it more effective than melee-prayers when it comes to overall damage output.

The special effect of the set is called Searing Blows. With this, the weapon has a 2% chance of inflicting burn on the targets that you hit. Enemies inflicted with burn will get 10 damage within 40 ticks or 24 seconds. You can stack the effect of the burn up to 5 times for a total of 50 damage. If you use the special attack of your Atlatl, it will consume all the remaining burn damage that is being inflicted on your target to hit them for a lot of damage. This will bring you near your enemy so you can combo this effect with a melee special attack weapon.

In truth, all three sets are rather broken for PvP and Bounty Hunter. It all really depends on which gear is available to you and what sort of playstyle you're used to. To make the choice simpler, let's talk about the equipment and its advantages one by one.

Blood Equipment

The Blood Moon equipment is rather situational and it relies heavily on your aggressiveness. As with all the other sets this set will work the best on a med-level account. The main strength of this armor will come from its strength bonus which is equivalent to bandos and the ability to hit a tick faster confusing your opponents. If your passive triggers on a big hit you can go for a special attack almost instantly and follow it up with whatever other weapon you have which can become deadly really easily.

Blue Equipment

The Blue Moon equipment is actually really effective but it's more complicated to pull off. The only way you'll trigger the special effect is by using bind magic on your opponent. This means you'll have to switch using magic from afar and then charging at your opponent constantly.

When it does take effect though, you'll be able to deal a significant amount of damage without any hindrances using your spear. As compared to the Blood Moon equipment, the Blue Moon equipment requires more work on your end but the payoff is worth it considering that you can kill other players before they can even deal damage to you.

Eclipse Equipment

This armor is easiest to use in PVP which also makes it the best to use in PVP. Ranged to melee combos has always been really overpowered in PVP and the Atlatl is a direct upgrade (and a massive one at that) to the magic shortbow. Combined with the passive effect and the bonuses of the armor it becomes extremely deadly no matter what your combat level is.

Verdict?

All builds are surprisingly overpowered, especially in the right hands. If you can, we highly suggest going through all of them to check which ones really fit your playstyle. A lot of players have been testing out these builds in PvP since the game came out so you might want to try them before the inevitable buff arrives.
