Hi! I am a noob. Despite me being a noob, I have made over 10 million coins at the GWD. You may say that's ridiculous, that a guy with 75 melees isn't going to make it. But it's not. There are a few boss monsters that you can hunt at about combat level 100, which is what I am. The Giant Mole- This is the easiest boss to kill in all of Runescape... except maybe Gunthor the Brave. NEVER- NEVER go on a lootshare world to kill this guy. Always solo. He's only got 200 HP and only attacks with melee. There are no bodyguards. There are no evil assailants. There are no tricks besides his annoying constant teleporting. If you want to get a feel for what a boss is like, I guess you can hunt this guy. The Chase- The Mole drops several rune items, as well as lots of adamant longswords. Seriously, this guy drops a crapload of addy longswords. He drops the dragon med helm, but yeah, you shouldn't be relying on this as your source of income. The best part of killing the mole is the mole skins and claw that you get. You will get a guaranteed 12k every kill from just the mole skins and claws, and that's not even counting the seeds you get from the bird's nests. [hide=Prayer Method]Prayer Method Minimum Stats- 60 Attack 43 Prayer Recommended Stats- 70 Attack (so you can switch to the whip) 70 Strength (so you can kill the mole faster) 52 Summoning (T-Birds ftw) OR 70+ Agility Done Slug Menace (for Proselyte Armour) Item Setup (Praying) Helm: Helm of Neitiznot > Proselyte Helmet (Sallet) > Initiate Helmet Weapon: Zamorakian Spear > Dragon Longsword > Leaf-Bladed Sword > Guthan's Warspear Shield: Rune Defender > Unholy Book > Book of Balance/Holy Book > Falador Shield Amulet: Fury > Glory > Power > Strength Cape: Trimmed Skillcape > Fire Cape > Obsidian/Untrimmed Skillcape Body: Proselyte > Initiate > Monk's Robe Legs: Proselyte > Initiate > Monk's Robe Boots: Dragon > Rune > Bandos Gloves: Best RFD Gloves you can use > Combat Bracelet Ring: Berserker Ring (i) > Berserker Ring > Explorers Ring 3 The prayer method is more expensive, but for players who are true noobs like me, it's the best. Your inventory should be something like this 4 Prayer Potions Dragon Dagger (p++) 2 Spirit Terrorbird Pouch Tireless Run Scrolls (lots) 2 Emergency Monkfish Super Attack Potion Super Strength Potion (can be replaced by combat pot)[/hide] [hide=Tanking Method]Minimum Levels: 60 Attack 60 Strength 70 Defense Recommended Levels: 70 Attack 70 Strength 80 Defense Item Setup (Tanking) Helm: Torag's/Guthan's helm > Helm of Neitiznot Weapon: Zamorakian Spear > Dragon Longsword > Leaf-Bladed Sword > Guthan's Warspear Shield (If not using Z/G Spear): Dragonfire Shield > Rune Defender > Obsidian Shield Amulet: Fury > Glory Cape: Fire Cape > Skillcape/Obsidian Cape Body: Torag's/Guthan's/Dharok's body > Bandos Chestplate > Dragon Platebody > Dragon Chainbody > Granite Body > Rune Platebody Legs: Torag's Legs > Other high defense legs (higher the better. d skirt > d legs) Boots: Dragon > Rune > Bandos Gloves: Best RFD Gloves > Combat Bracelet Ring: Berserker ring (i) > Berserker ring Inventory: 2x Spirit Terrorbird Pouch Lots of tireless run scrolls 18x Sharks (Pineapple Pizzas if they ever become buyable again) Dragon dagger (p++) Spade Covered Light Source Super Attack Potion Super Strength Potion (can be replaced by combat pot) Super Defence Potion[/hide] [hide=Strategy]The strategy for killing the mole is pretty much the same for both the tanking and the praying method. The most important part is poisoning the mole! First what you must do is dig up the beast. The Mole is located in the Falador Mole Lair, which is in the garden of Falador. Simply use your spade on ANY molehill in the garden. There are a lot. Then go into the mole's lair. The mole is located RIGHT NEXT TO THE SUMMONING OBELISK. Use your Dragon Dagger (p++) specials as soon as you can. Hopefully, you will now poison the mole, which does a lot of damage. Once you get the mole down to about 1/2 of its health, it will run like the coward it is. This is where the Spirit Terrorbird's Special really comes in handy. Simply activate the Tireless Run scroll whenever your energy gets low. If you don't have the Terrorbird I would recommend not bringing energy restores (especially if you have high agility) because it wastes precious slots. After it starts to run I would use your remaining DDS specials and switch to your better stab weapon (Zammy Spear, Dragon Long, Leaf Bladed Sword). At this point it becomes a game of hide and seek. Just track the mole down and smash it to death, eating if you have any trouble. Once again, this is a profitable boss but really no match for any of the big GWD bosses. This being said, it's better than the King Black Dragon, the Chaos Elemental, or the Kalphite Queen. This is because 100% drops > 0.000003% Dragon Chain/2h/Visage drops.[/hide] The King Black Dragon- The one. The classic. The remarkably easy. Once again, no bodyguards. However, the KBD is definitely a step up from the Giant Mole. It is necessary for a noob to bring a super set and prayer potions. It's not totally safe. I actually wouldn't recommend the King Black Dragon unless you're on a Slayer Task and can use a Slayer Helmet. He's not as good profit as the mole unless you get a visage. Nevertheless, he can be fun to hunt because of the three heads. And yeah, the visage would be nice. Oh, and good for charms. The Chase- The Draconic Visage (about 1/1000-2000 from what I've heard), and the DRAGON MED HELM!!!! z0mg. Also, while the Giant Mole drops a lot of addy longs this guy drops a lot of rune longs. He also drops 100% black d'hide and dragon bones, however, it's not nearly as easy to bank after the KBD as the Giant Mole. The KBD is tougher than that stupid mole, but he's still a pushover. I know level 65's that have soloed him. You can solo him in one of two ways- ranging or meleeing. [hide=Melee Method]Melee Method Minimum Levels - 60 Attack 40 Defense 50 Ranged 43 Prayer Dragon Slayer Started Recommended Levels - 70 Strength 70 Attack 70 Defense 70 Ranged 43 Prayer 52 Summoning Item Setup Helm: Slayer Helmet (on task) > Helm of Neitiznot > Torag's/Guthan's Helm > Other high defence helmets Cape: Fire Cape > Trimmed Skillcape > Obsidian/Untrimmed Skillcape Amulet: Amulet of Fury > Amulet of Glory Body: Karil's Leathertop > Black D'hide Body > Best D'hide body you can wear Legs: Karil's Leatherskirt > Black D'hide Legs > Best D'hide legs you can wear Gloves: Best RFD Gloves you can wear > Combat Bracelet Ring: Berserker Ring > Explorer Ring Boots: Dragon > Rune > Climbing Weapon: Abyssal Whip >>>>>>> Dragon Scimitar > Other Dragon Crap Shield: Dragonfire Shield > Anti-Dragon Shield Inventory Setup 1x Super Strength Potion 1x Super Attack Potion 2/3x Antifire Potion 1x Super Antipoison 3x Prayer Potion Spec Weapon: Dragon Dagger (p++) preferable, Dragon Mace/Long far worse options 17/18x Sharks/Tuna Potatoes/Monkfish 1x Emergency Teleport Familiar Setup (if you have one) 10x Food 1x Prayer Potion 1x Antifire Potion The Melee Method of killing the King Black Dragon is extremely simple. Step One: Pull the Lever Step Two: Drink an Antifire Potion Step Three: Drink your Super Strength / Attack potions Step Four: Run up to the KBD and attack him, praying melee Step Five: Eat when his firebreath gets you down Step Six: He dies. LOL. Repeat ad nauseum. It's actually still very easy to solo the KBD with melee. He does NOT have the potential for a KO hit unless you're not watching your prayer and your prayer runs out. Even then, his max melee hit is only 25. Just keep your HP above say 40 and you'll be fine throughout. It is extremely hard to solo the King Black Dragon without Protect from Melee. In fact, it is extremely hard to solo any boss with melee without 43 Prayer. I'd recommend at least 90 defense in TORAG'S if you attempt to do so.[/hide] [hide=Ranged Method]Ranged Method Minimum Stats: 61 Ranged 40 Defence Recommended Stats: 70 Ranged 70 Defence 52 Summoning The ranged method, in my opinion, is vastly superior to the melee method. You do not need to pray or eat too much. Also, you can use Ruby Bolts (e) which can hit up to 48 damage. However, this effect does come with the price of 10% of your own hitpoints, so watch your health meter very carefully. You might get down to very little health in a short amount of time if the effect hits multiple times in a row.

The Wilderness portals are located all over the Wilderness. The most easily accessible is the one right outside of the Wilderness Volcano. Use your games necklace to teleport to the Wilderness volcano and then run down the stairs south-east and you will see a thing with four obelisks surrounding it. Activate the obelisks and stand in the middle. You want to get to the portal at level 44 wilderness. If you don't get to this one immediately, keep trying. Once you are at that portal, run southeast and you should see some caged demons. Ignore the demons, praying melee if you have low defense. Climb down the stairs inside the cage. You are now in the Spider Room of the Lair! Make your final preparations and kill that stupid noob. Two problems could happen: OH NO A REVENANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, Revenants suck. If you're at the level 44 portal, just pray ranged and run to the safety of the King Black Dragon. If you're not, 1) If you're < 30 Wilderness, pray mage and tele the #@#$%$@#$ away. 2) If you're > 30 Wilderness, pray ranged and run to a safer area. The other problem is that you're not hitting enough on the KBD. Fear not! His damage output is so low that it won't matter anyway. You'll be able to get at least one kill no matter what if you have my minimum levels. If you get extremely unlucky simple tele out. Now, for the bosses you guys have been waiting for - Bandos and Zamorak. Armadyl and Saradomin both take much higher levels (Arma basically requires 85+ range to be effective, Saradomin I wouldn't recommend for any levels as Bandos is easier and better money). Of the two, if you're not going to tank, Zamorak is much easier. However, if your tank dies at Zamorak, TELE TELE TELE TELE TELE. Or bless then TELE TELE TELE TELE TELE. Because Zamorak can two shot you.
