Where does that take you? :-s

Nice guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Enchanted Lyre teleport will bring you right to the entrance to Relleka, just north of the house portal. I have a guide about them up here in player made guides.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the link: Enchanted Lyre Guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope that helps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(and if ytou liked it add a link for me)

the mine ccart itself inside dwarven mines next to the near to the dwarf who sells pickaxes this then drops you inside keldagrim

where it says cart conductor it drops yiu around there you then need to run up to the river where theres a boat (the building near the bridge) then talk to the guy and you can go down the river to where it says fremennik provance then straight across the tunnel and there you are at the rockcrabs * must have strarted the the giant dwarf to use the mine carts

stand one square south below (closer to the waters edge) of the first crab

 

now you can AFK because they will all attack you without you moving plus they dont go evry where

wow, i clicked on your guide prepared to tell a noob he shouldnt try making a rock crab guide becuz we already know. but then i read it and learn there are rock crabs on waterbirth! congratulations, you have impressed me. :thumbsup:

Say what you mean and mean what you say because those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter.

Erm, im about 90% sure thats what i said/put. Or if not, its what i meant.

 

 

 

Thanks for the other replies. ::'

i trained at rockies but after 5 minutes they stopped attacking me for some reason.thats why i use hill giants at te moment but i have plenty of enchanted lyres so ill give it another go

Very good guide. However, ive been killing Rock Crabs (as a ranger) with 1 Defence from 65-69 and i have not had to bank for food. I would say rather than putting so much emphasis on defence, you should go for all-out offence. (Strength Ammy>Fury, Fighter Torso>Rune plate etc etc).

 

 

 

All in all, a very good guide however. I also agree with you on the part about the rare drops, as i havent seen any of those.

 

 

 

~Jimmie

 

i would say fury>str because the fury is almost as good as str in str bonus but a LOT of accuracy

very nice guide as these crabs arent crowded ill probs use them btw you said you'd add me for some reason lol add ps2man0 for a chat :)

 

 

 

hey topic starter, u have to add him, just look at that sig...

 

 

 

im not really p2p yet, but a very comprehensive well written guide, lot of information, lot of words, i actually never finished it but nice guide all the same :thumbsup:

very nice guide but could add a cannon for range and melee exp :-k

-Unlike Bandits, after twenty minutes they'll stop being agressive, meaning they'll no longer pop up and attack you. When this happens, you need to get a 'loading screen'. However, i have found just running back to the Boat you got off of and back again, will reset them to being aggressive, even if you do not see a 'Loading' screen.

 

 

 

 

a loading screen is not neccecary, if you no longer see the spawn point on the mini map,if you go back they should be aggressive again

Non-multi like i said. :P

Oh, never knew that.

 

 

 

I'll update it a little now.

May start work on a Rangers guide, which is similar but a little different.

 

 

 

Any more ideas on this one?

there is actually a way to use a canon effectively there

 

set it up and find a place the crabs wont get to u, let the cannon shoot

 

 

 

it will shoot them all till one manages to attack you

I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"

walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come

Defender > Zammy book > Guthix book.

 

 

 

I would suggest adding in obby sheild, as it has the same strength bonus, so you hit the same, but it has like 20+ def. Other than that though, nice guide, I might try that method sometime.

Great Guide. keep up the good work 7/10 :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Never knew there were regular rock crabs on Waterbirth Island.Nice guide 8/10.Could be longer

 

 

 

Longer? :shock:

 

I thought it was too long.

 

 

 

Im currently getting Mith gloves at the moment, then i'll return.

 

 

 

Thanks for comments.

 

 

 

Long??? you should look at my guide :XD: (*points to siggy*)

I don't think a guide for killing rock crabs was really all that needed, but it is pretty detailed and has pictures so 7/10.

Hmm, aside the factor 80% of the people who read it, probably didn't know Rockcrabs were on Waterbirth. :?

Nice guide, and with the drops, you are right, those drops are VERY RARE.

 

Why paint out your damage on crabs? Nothing to be ashamed of.....

Im back =]

Hehe... Its actually colour codeing :)

You should have a picture of the mini-map on that.

 

 

 

I have no idea were you are standing :wall:.
