Since everyone is posting their Raids 4 bets, here are mine

Super excited for the new max cash improvements!

Anything you guys are eyeing? 3rd age crash for example?

I'm just happy axe and pickaxe are trade able without getting ripped off in discords

For Raids 4, Inquisitor has already gone up significantly since my post 8 months ago.

Now, I’m heavily invested in Justiciar. It’s a big gamble in terms of opportunity cost, but I think the downside risk is relatively low with a big upside.

After Inquisitor finally got the love it deserved, Justiciar is arguably the only armour set that isn’t particularly good at any content. It’s the only Raids armour set that isn’t really relevant in the current game. Meanwhile, other armour sets of the same rarity are sitting at 150m+.

Tanking has never really been a viable or rewarding role in OSRS, yet Jagex introduced both Justiciar and the Bulwark.

Then the Raids 4 rewards were revealed, and that really caught my attention.

A new off-hand that charges up when you’re attacked and can then be used as a spec for additional damage.

That got me thinking: **is this going to be the raid where tanking finally becomes relevant?**

Or, even better, could this be the raid that rejuvenates tanking as a whole?

You don’t introduce an off-hand with a mechanic like that without having some content in mind where it’s going to be relevant. I expect Jagex to lean further into tanking, because the Rondache could make it much more satisfying to *not* deal damage for a while. You simply tank the incoming damage, charge up your shield, and then convert that into extra damage later.

Oh and both Rondache an justiciar are saradomin themed

**That’s why, at its current price, I think Justiciar is a no-brainer**.

I paid 28.5m for my sets. Wish me luck. 🫡

PS: Bought some Bulwarks too, because why not.

Now with all images for proof

What are your thoughts on the new CoX table changes?

Prayer scrolls to the moon?

I sold shadows just before maggot king around 900Mea and just rebought. Ready for rework

Twisted bucklers!

Bought in around 12–15M and have sold 100 so far at 22M each.

Still holding around 200 left. Not done with these yet. I expect these to go up further given they will be meta for a while

Elder maul update: bought in around 85M and have been selling at 105–110M, so roughly 20–25M profit each.

Had over 400 at one point; down to around 100 now. Holding the rest for a higher sell price.

It's completely overshadowed by the inquisitors armour post I made previously https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandExchangeBets/comments/1pyi887/raids\_4\_bets\_update/

Still profit is profit

Suddenly a huge spike in bucklers. Is it BiS at maggot?

How do I proceed here? I also cannot go back in any way it seems

I wanted to share some thoughts on what I think will be strong picks for Raids 4.

I think crush will be the meta. Every big raid so far has pushed a different attack style so it makes sense that the next one leans into crush. Because of that I have been stocking up on a few items that feel like good bets.

Inquisitor armour I grabbed my sets around 115m each. The price is at an all time low right now and the return potential feels huge if crush is needed. If Raids 4 really favors crush this armour is basically guaranteed to be meta.

Inquisitor mace This one is more high risk and high reward. If crush ends up being the best style this could become the top weapon and its price would explode. I got mine for about 160m each. I could see it going up three or four times if everything lines up.

Elder maul This feels like the safest pick. The elder maul tanked hard after the sailing update but it will almost definitely have a place. Even with cheap options like dragon Warhammer I still think elder maul will be the best option for dropping defenses. I bought in at around 88m.

Curious what everyone else is loading up on or if you think crush will be the move.
