First off, this is an Ankou.. "A boney ghost." And this is not.. "Yup, definately a chicken." Q and A Q: Why Ankous? A: Ankous have 60-70HP and level 75-86 all with a max hit of 8. Their respawn rate is fairly quick. The down side is they are often crowded. Ankous are aggressive for about 10 minutes. Q: Where can I find Ankous? A: Ankous are located at the bottom floor of the Security Stronghold (here's a URL to the map of the Security Stronghold: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=stron ... ty_map.htm). F2P Drops Gold: 1-231 100%: Bones Weapon: Armour: Adamant med helm Runes/Arrows: Law(2), Fire(15), Adamant(5-16) Misc: Black robe, Rune essence(15 noted), Coal ore(4 noted), Mithril ore(3-7 noted), Uncut gems, Left skull half P2P Only Drops 100%: Bones Weapon: Black knife(1-10), Rune javelin(5), Rune spear, Dragon spear Armour: - Runes/Arrows: Death(10), Blood(5-11) Misc: Herbs, Herb seed(1), Limpwurt seed(1), Watermelon seed(1), Jangerberry seed(1), Poison ivy seed(1), Bass, Pure essence(15 noted), Fried mushroom, Mithril ore(3-7 noted), Nature talisman, Weapon poison, Half key, Shield left half(dragon), Clue(lvl 3) P2P Attack Methods Food BonesToPeaches>Monkfish>Lobsters>Cakes (sharks in my opinion are a bit expensive, and slow to catch, Monkfish are a lot better, IMO) First off, I don't have the Bones to Peaches spell, but I do recommend using this, if you can. Peaches, according to most people, HEAL 8. It would be a good idea to get at least 10 bones before casting this spell, if you can, without dropping anything. Bones to Peaches Method Note: You can use this method with any type of armor, and of course you can use less runes. If you are using a method other than Melee, replace the Dragon Dagger (p++) with a Super Attack potion. Dharok The reason I have my Amulet of Glory in my Inventory is because I use my Salve Amulet (e) instead, and the reason I don't keep it in my bank is because I use it to teleport myself to Edgeville to bank, Varrock Teleports would work, too. The Salve Amulet (e) gives +20% attack and strength. When I Dharok, I usually try to keep my HitPoints from 17-25. The reason I don't let it fall below 17 is because their max hit is an 8 and at times they can hit 8, 8 quickly (I had 16 hp, and was hit an 8, 7 before I had time to eat, talk about scary. You could also use Bones to Peaches for food, and bring along a Ring of Life in case lag comes your way). I found this is the best amount of potions to bring, as they all run out at about the same time (if using regular Attack Potions instead of Super Attack, I advise bringing three). I found Dharoking Ankous to be the best way to kill them, I can usually stay down there for over an hour before my food runs out and reap over 170K worth of profits which adds up to pay for the repairs of Dharoks + a nice chunk of change and experience (I could get 70K an hour, maybe more). Requirements: 70 Attack 70 Strength 70 Defense Guthan A good tip from me is to kill Ankous with whip+defender (optional dds) until you get about half health, then switch to full Guthans to heal. The food is just in case. Requirements: 70 defense 70 Attack Melee The inventory is mostly the same as the Dharok one. I can stay down there for a little more than an hour, certainly not as long as with Dharoks, and I definately do not get nearly the amount of experience. But, if all you're after is profit, this is a better way to go, you are not spending a thing (you can buy your potions for really cheap at the Warriors Guild, which is what I do for my Strength and Defense potions, I make my own Super Attacks, though) but time and getting 170K+ an inventory. Magic This one is mainly self-explanitory, I advise bringing tons more runes, I just kind of ran low on Chaos for this screenshot. What I tend to do is sell the Death runes and Blood runes I get from Ankous to buy more Chaos, Earth, and Water runes. I am weilding a Slayer Staff (cost 55K and requires 50 Magic and 55 Slayer) in the screenshot, which allows you to autocast Crumble Undead, an Air/Earth staff would work just as well, however. I can run on for as long as I want down there, granted the amount of runes and food for the times I get hit for the first 10 minutes (after that they are un-aggressive). See Safespots below. Range Ranger Boots are nice, but Snakeskin are just as good. If you have neither, I'd bring some Boots of Lightness (Temple of Ikov Quest). I'd recommend using Steel arrows until 50 or 60, then Iron works just as well against them. Don't forget to bring food just in case. You can use Safespots (see below). Something you can expect from a typical hour long trip F2P Attack Methods Note: After considering some things, to leave the Ankou area, use the ladder and the bank in Edgeville, then to get more food, fishing Salmon/Trout and cooking them on a fire would be even quicker. Food Lobsters>Salmon>Trout heals 12>heals 9>heals 7 Melee This is pretty straight-forward. You can bring more, or less, but this is probably the best amount, judging by your HP level. I can be down there, for a little less than an hour before being forced to teleport. The profit isn't as great as with P2P, but you can get some runes and some Adamant Arrows. Mage I use Crumble Undead, and hit constant 13s on them, but you can use something different, for whatever reason. You can stay for as long as your runes provide. Be sure to bring some food for the first few minutes that they are agressive. Mage isn't the most profitable, but it's good if you have a few Chaos to blow. See safespots below. Range I recommend using steel on these things, depending on your Ranged level. I'd say, under level 60, use steel arrows, over 60, use iron, and 75 and beyond, any is fine, but I'd still say iron. Range hits fairly well on them, and you can use safespots (below) on them. Bring a little bit of food for the first few minutes of agressivity. Bottom floor of Security Stronghold (where Ankous are located, map courtesy Tip.It) There are several areas you can kill Ankous in, I documented two. This is the first ("Room 1"), which I recommend for Melee ONLY. Please don't flame me about having Protect from Melee on, I was carrying 7 Amulets of Glories and was about to charge them and really did not want to lose them. Safespots ("Room 2") Any attack method will work down here. These are not all of them, I'm sure, but these were the ones I found to be pretty good, but are a bit troublesome at times. They're in order from best safespot to worst.
