OSRS Nex Team Farming: Easy Strategies for Group Gold Farming

Yo, what’s good, fellow RuneScape grinders? If you’re chasing that sweet, sweet gold in Old School RuneScape, Nex team farming is where it’s at. I’ve been smashing this boss in the Ancient Prison for ages, leading squads from scrappy masses to tight-knit crews. Let me tell you, with the right team and some slick strats, you can bank millions per hour. Is it a walk in the park? Kinda, if you know what you’re doing. This post is your guide to crushing Nex with a group, raking in GP, and maybe even snagging some epic loot. Let’s get to it.

Who’s Nex and Why Run Her with a Squad?

Nex is the big bad of the God Wars Dungeon, chilling in the Ancient Prison with a beefy combat level of 1001. She dropped in 2022, and after some tweaks in mid-2025, her fight’s smoother but still a beast. Why team up? Soloing is a nightmare for most, taking forever and burning supplies. In a group, you split the work, kill faster, and share the loot. Can you make bank? Heck yeah small teams can pull 7-10 mil GP per hour, sometimes more if you’re tight.

Her fight’s got five phases Smoke, Shadow, Blood, Ice, and the final Zaros showdown. Each phase links to Ancient Magicks, and you gotta take out her minion mages to move forward. She’s got this poison vibe, hitting 8 damage if you’re not careful, and no, you can’t poison her back. Fun fact: Up to 60 players can pile into an instance, but smaller groups are the real gold mine.

Getting Ready: Requirements and Prep

Before you even think about Nex, you need the Frozen Door miniquest done. That means finishing Desert Treasure I and smacking around some God Wars generals for the frozen key. Stats? You’ll need at least 70 Hitpoints, Ranged, Strength, and Agility no boosting allowed. But if you’re serious about farming, push for 90+ in combat stats, especially Ranged, and grab 74 Prayer for Rigour.

Here’s what you need to lock down:

Quests: Desert Treasure I is non-negotiable.
Skills: 90+ Defence to tank hits, 85+ Magic for thralls and defence.
temp: Once you’ve got the key, the Ancient Prison door is open for good.

Stock your inventory with sharks, prayer pots, and a few brews for emergencies. Ancient ceremonial robes are clutch for altar restores they heal you up and refill run energy. Which worlds to hit? Stick to 332, 481, 505, or 523 for FFA. Clan chats like “nexffa” are your go-to for finding groups.

Gear Up: What to Bring to the Fight

Gear is everything when you’re facing Nex. Ranged is king since she’s weakest to it, but you need Magic defence to not get smoked by her attacks. Budget players can roll with Armadyl and a rune crossbow, but if you’re balling, Masori and a Twisted Bow are the dream.

Here’s a rundown of gear setups for different wallets:

Slot	Budget Setup	Mid-Tier Setup	High-End Setup
Head	Armadyl helmet	Masori mask (f)	Masori mask (f) fortified
Neck	Amulet of fury	Necklace of anguish	Necklace of anguish
Body	Armadyl chestplate	Masori body (f)	Torva platebody
Legs	Armadyl chainskirt	Masori chaps (f)	Torva platelegs
Weapon	Rune crossbow	Blowpipe or Bowfa	Twisted bow
Shield	Elysian spirit shield	Elysian spirit shield	Elysian spirit shield

Hot Tip: Pop on Zarosian gear at the altar for full restores, but swap back to combat gear fast. In small teams, fortified Masori is a lifesaver or you’re toast.

Building Your Money-Making Crew

Team size is huge for farming efficiency. Masses with 20+ players are wild, and drops get split too many ways. Small teams of 3-7 are where the GP flows. Why? Less splitting means more gold for you. A solid 5-man squad can crank out ~11 kills per hour, with uniques at about a 1/43 chance.

Roles: One tank to eat aggro, DPS for damage, maybe a support for brews and prayer buffs.
Sweet Spot: 4-6 players for balance. Duos can hit 10m+ GP/hr but need god-tier gear.
Finding Squads: Check forums, Discord, or CCs like “nexffa”. Start in masses for KC, then go small.

New to Nex? How do you find a team? Jump into “nexffa” for mini-masses, grind 50-100 KC, then hunt for small groups. Easy peasy.

Strategies for Smashing Nex: Phase by Phase

Here’s the real deal: how to take Nex down without wiping. Teamwork is everything call out specials and don’t clump up.

Smoke Phase

Nex kicks off with smoke attacks, dashing around and spreading a stat-draining cough. Stay spread out to dodge chain damage. Drop Fumus when she’s at 80% health. Pray Protect from Magic.

Shadow Phase

Shadows pop up everywhere, and her Ranged attacks hit like a truck. Shadows on the ground hurt if you stand in them. Pray Protect from Missiles and dodge those shadows. Kill Umbra at 60% health.

Blood Phase

This one’s a pain with blood sacrifices. She marks someone, and if you mess up, she heals big time. Marked player runs; others DPS like crazy. Kill Cruor at 40% health. Blood reavers heal players now post-2025 update, so use that.

Ice Phase

Ice prisons can lock you down and slap for 75 damage. Pray Magic, and if you’re caged, spam click to escape. Team DPSes the prison to help. Kill Glacies at 20% health.

Zaros Phase

Final stretch. Nex swaps between Magic and Melee prayers every three hits with Ruinous Powers. Flick Protect from Magic, then Melee. She wraths at death, so bolt after the kill.

Assign minion killers and Nex DPS roles. Thralls add extra damage, and hit the altar every 10 minutes to keep supplies up.

Pro Tips for Max Gold Farming

Want to bank hard? Focus on speed and staying alive. Here’s the expert scoop:

Talk It Out: Voice chat for calls like “Sac on me!” saves lives.
Skip Melee: Post-2025, Nex triples melee hits if you’re close stick to Ranged.
Fair Splits: Small teams do FFA or contribution-based splits.
Bank Smart: Don’t risk big stacks; bank every few kills.
Practice First: Masses for learning, then small groups for profit.

Biggest noob trap? Wrong prayers. Flick if you can it saves pots. For max GP, small teams can hit 14 kills per hour in 6-mans, pulling ~16m GP/hr.

Loot and Profits: Why Nex is Worth It

Nex’s drops are nuts. Uniques like Torva armour, Zaryte vambraces, and Nihil horn can sell for 100-500 mil each. Commons like runes and bolts stack up fast. MVP gets a 10% loot boost and better unique odds.

Profit Check: Teams average 7m GP/hr, but small groups can hit 10-16m. Duos push higher with lucky drops. Uniques drop at ~1/43, but splits depend on team size.

Drop Type	Examples	Value (Approx)
Uniques	Torva full helm, Zaryte vambraces	100m-500m each
Commons	Blood runes, Dragon bolts	1-2m per kill
Tertiaries	Elite clues, Nexling pet	Variable

Best gold farm in OSRS? For high-skill groups, Nex is top-tier.
