i watched through all prayer flicking guides and this is the first one that went in depth about the different methods and the important ticks. while most guides were super vague "just double click the prayer orb" you managed to include a lot of additional information i didnt even hope for :D thanks a lot that really helped, great explanation!
As a PvM supernoob who wasn't able to prayer flick, I've used this guide since several months ago, and I can safely say that this prayer flicking guide is amazing. Thank you so much for showcasing so many situations, and in doing so, answering so many of the questions I had about prayer flicking but wasn't able to find the answers for in other prayer flicking guides =).
No all of purple gods guides are the best ones period. And I’ve watched A LOT of guides. His pathing video literally changed a lot of how I approach the game
Legit never heard someone explain lazy flicking which is the majority of what I did for the longest time until I decided to put the effort in to learn one tick flicking
Thanks for the video this was very informative and contained all the mechanical stuff I was hoping for on prayer flicking & as a bonus I got to understand tick eatting too.
If damage is calculated when a monster shoots, why do you need to wait until it hits you to eat? Shouldn't it work any time after damage is calculated? So click when/after they attack, but before you get splat is what makes sense to me. If that's true, I'd think the safest method would be to stand far enough back so that the splat is one tick before the attack. In a four tick pattern you'd have Attack - Delay - Delay - Splat. Clicking food in ticks 1-3 would have you healing after damage is calculated and before (or during, I guess that's okay?) you get hit. Would this work? If not, why?
You're correct. Like you said as long as the splat lands before they throw another attack, you can safely tick eat with a larger window of opportunity. I wasn't aware at the time of recording this
@@PurpleGod hey man, I do appreciate the guide, the first two sections are good stuff, but maybe pin OP’s comment or post your own correction? It may have just been me but I got quite confused by this exact point and had to go test it myself using a rock cake to get to 1 hp. Not tryna be a dick or anything. Liked and subbed.
thanks for the guide it's easy to understand! at the beginning of the video you mentioned a guide that explains ticks more in a video about pathing, which video was that? I couldn't find it on your channel.
I'm am currently trying to practice off ticking different attacks (soloing bandos) Is there anywhere you can think of that I can practice (range+mage projectiles) without such a long trip back to retrieve my items P.s loved the in-depth and calm style you have to your guides ❤️ subbed
From what I've seen, they seem to always be just off ticked. Their attack sequences are constant with, either attacking you, or the shield from the second they spawn. I'm not 100% sure but watching zach (Reed) offtick them taught me this. If I get any more info on this I'll get back to you, otherwise thanks so much :)
9:21 why is this? like if im at jad is it actually better to eat as late as possible? what is the downside of eating early, but still after damage is calculated
that's a sick video, appreciate it man! have 1quick question about 2tick flicking, mainly talking about the inferno flicking mage/blob or range/blob. he says prage mage 2 counts, range 2 counts etc, but i'm geting hit if i do that. Should my 2nd pray switch should be just before i hear metronome sound of the 2nd tick or it should be just on the tick sound? appreciate your time if you can respond.
So if you're using the metronome to count ticks, that means the metronome sound happens at the start of every tick. In that case, click on the prayer before the metronome sound. You click on the prayer before the sound of the metronome so that after that sound, your prayer is activated. Hope that helps man gl!
@@PurpleGod so with range/blob i switch prayer before 2nd tick? Example: 1st-tick range, before 2nd tick comes pray mage? Or 2tick flicking blob/range would be 1-2ticks range 3-4mage ? Thanks bud
@@rauliuxaa he scans and hits on a 3 tick cycle Scan, x, x, hit, x, x, scan, x, x, hit, x, x, See video by "btsrs" If you do the 2 tick flicking with a random start you might take a hit during the first few flicks from the blob because you're setting up the blob but once you are in you don't take hits from blob
Hey not sure if you’ll see this but I have a question I’m hoping you can answer. For tick eating you showed first 4 tiles is tick eat on same game tick. At 5th game tile it’s eat next game tick do you know how many it is after 5?
take a look at the "hit delay" page on the wiki, it explains the different hit delays for every type of projectile! oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Hit_delay
Just to clarify... you have to flick prayer when the hit is being calculated not when the projectile hits you, but you have to tick eat when the projectile hits you not when the hit is calculated?
There are 2 scenarios, most simple projectiles such as basic mage attacks or ranged projectiles can be tick eaten anytime from when the damage is calced to when it hits you. The other and more difficult scenario is like sotetseg big ball , verzik yellow orb or jad attacks, where you have to tick eat right before it hits you. Essentially healing at the same time as damage is taken away from your health bar This second scenario is where timing matters the most. I realize I didn't explain this correctly in the video.
This might be a dumb question, but so for the lazy flicking at the beginning, that first tick when you click the prayer, 1. Is that prayer actually protecting you that tick or just for the second tick? And 2. Does the circle around the prayer light up immediately, the tick you click it? And disappear tick two? I would assume it lights up on tick two but the way the graphic is done makes me think it doesnt
1. when you click it, it is activated at the start of the next available game tick. No, you are not protected the moment you click it, you are protected for the next tick. (this is why you click a little before the game tick starts). 2. For the circle around the prayer, the behavior of the gfx are not consistent and don't accurately represent the on/off state of the prayer if you are flicking and/or clicking the prayer a lot. Rely on your clicks and not the animation, this is general advice for many high apm actions in this game :) hope this helps!
yeah it should be called npc indicator, and then type her full name in the text box. you can also change the color i believe which is why mine is purple
both work, click each prayer once would mean that prayer will drain over time. at the time stamp you've linked, I am 1tick flicking (double clicking each prayer / disabling a prayer before activating another) in order to not consume any prayer points
I miss the old relaxed rs.. This is too hyper active for me lol. Even private servers are catching up to "new osrs mechanics" soon it'll be a thing of the past for me if I'm unable to adapt. Or just become a sad skiller lol..
pray flicking xD the only combat mechanic you can actually do in OSRS LOL That game is so boring. Just click and wait until your character is don attacking. RuneScape is much better!

reading comments like these are the best, even all this time after making this video. It's my pleasure man, enjoy the PVM life!
This game is honestly so scientific.. thanks for much for this detailed explanation.
my pleasure! it's so eye opening when you first get into it!
How do you have so little traffic. these guides are the best i've seen.
Means the world thank you!

bro ate like 100k in sweets to show us this, bless
THe way u explain stuff is second to nome bro honestly u could become a teacher lmao because u understand what confuses people very awesome video!!
yo thanks so much!!! i'll consider this haha appreciate it

My gosh, I wanted to learn how to prayer flick and I came out a pvm God. Amazing video.
PurpleGod for president
You're doing Saradomin's work, so detailed!
wtf never knew 1 ticking was so easy, thanks!
Is it that easy or does he make it LOOK easy? I'm mobile only and have a hard time with this 😠
@@fukcg00gle95on computer it is pretty easy with some practice

Absolutely incredible guide
Best guide I’ve seen.
This is really well done! I like the amount of information you provide, keep it up!
Awesome video. This is the best vid on YT that attempts to explain it, all the others kinda suck ngl.
awesome to see these comments all these years later. Gl!
Thanks so much for the tutorial and being a down to earth guy with the information. Really helps us newbies to the game out :)
I want to be you when I grow up!!!! :purple_heart:
Wow! A very interesting and good guide! Thank you very much for your knowledge! =)
Thank you very much for the useful content man. Appreciated
You earned yourself a sub. Great guide!
I DONT HAVE THE AUTISM FOR THIS
Thanks for the info for a newbie, just dropped a sub. Looking forward to your future vids!
I hope I get some time soon to make more of these! glad you enjoyed man
Perfect explanation, well done bro
Thanks bro!
Metronomes make things like flicking so much easier ngl... still hard not to accidentally lose your rhythm sometimes though.
Trying this on SOTF Vanstrom on a cb lv68.
So smooth.
Really great video, keep it up

But what is the best npc to practice that? Where can i find best range mage and melee attack me?
9:21 why is this? like if im at jad is it actually better to eat as late as possible? what is the downside of eating early, but still after damage is calculated
the 1tick flicking doesn't work for me, I end up double clicking each tick with the prayer being off instead of on :(
turn it on first

how are u not famous yet

Its like music, each tick is a quarter note in 4/4 time signature

Does the projectile apply to every monster in the game that is projectile? Excluding jad.
for standart projectiles, the general rules apply, for example: jad's mage is a standart projectile, but his range attack isn't

How about a guide about ticks to stacking someone out when your pking? I still can't for the life of me figure out how to do it with a gmaul.
Also, keep it up, your videos are excellent.
I'll see what I can do, thank you mate :)
so runescape was a rhythm game this whole time
Basically
ay just a quick question the verzik p3 tag you have is that a runelite feature? the purple area one
yeah it should be called npc indicator, and then type her full name in the text box. you can also change the color i believe which is why mine is purple
At 5:35 are you double clicking each prayer or just clicking each prayer once? Would both work?
both work, click each prayer once would mean that prayer will drain over time.
at the time stamp you've linked, I am 1tick flicking (double clicking each prayer / disabling a prayer before activating another) in order to not consume any prayer points
PurpleGod thanks for the reply and helpful guides!
When you say big ball can't be tick eated, do you mean the sotesegs attack? I saw woox tick eating it few days ago
I was talking about verzik pt 3, the big green one :)
PurpleGod the big one that hits a 74? I thought you could. Isnt that how woox soloed versik?
@@4everasnipa the big green one is pure damage you cannot tick eat. The yellow pool is different, you can tick eat that
